terson, one of the leaders of his race
in the south, a graduate of the Uni
versity of Michigan, a teacher in the

of a big church for Immoral conduct
with q member Of bis flock. Patter-
son led the fight against him and Rev.

congress convened an argument be-
tween Stokes and Patterson over the
Brown case resulted in a f%isticutf,
wnen some negro from the crowd shot
and killed Prof. Patterson Ia front Of

A special to the Jacksonville,

the details OF tbe suicide by
poison at that place of Henry
Crosby, who had recently come
there, ostensibly for the purpose
of starting an extensive turpentine
business. He negotiated for lands
and announced that q large sum of
money would be received by him

A band of anarchists who had been
exiled from Spain arrived al Liverpool
Thursday on their way to London.
Several of the members of the party
were interviewed and related their ex.

The sick man knocking at the door
of health gets in ii he knocks the right
way, and, stays cut if he dosen't.
There are thousands Of ways of getting
sick but only one way to get well. Do
whatever you will, if you d. not put
your digestion in good order, and
make your blood rich and pure, you
will not get we'll. Rich, pure blood is
the only thing that can bring perfect
health. Constipation is a disease Of
the blood. A large part OF all diseases
are traceable directly to impurities in
the blood, and cal be cured by eli
minatlng them with Dr.. Pierce's Col
den Medical Diecpvsry. The first
thing it does is to put the whole diges-
tive system into perfect order. 1t
stimulates the appetite, excites a copi-
GUS secretion of Tho digestive fluids
and promotes assimilation. 1t searches
out disease germs wherever they may
be, kills them and. forces them out of
the system. The Golden Medical
Discovery"has bean used with unvary-
ing success for over 30 years.

WEYLER notifies Spain that he
wants 20, 900 additional troops imme.
diately. In view of his recent claim
that Cuba is entirely paci6ed, it may
be that he wants these extra forces for

THE high grade bicycles held on to
that 800 gouge a long time, but it is
a thing of the past now, says the Au.
gusta Chronicle. Once having started
on the toboggan slide they will find it
impossible to hold up to the $75 price.
1t is less of a gouge than the 800 but
is still unmistakable extortion. Fifty
dollars would furnish a handsome
profit on any bicycle made.

Unquestionably Charles A. Dana was
the best known newspaper editor in the
country. In many ways he was the
greatest one too. His scholarship was pro-
found, his knowledge of public affairs Of
the past and present was very in
innate and exact. his style was exceed
ingly bright and graphic, and his ideas
were oftentimes unique and always fresh
and striking. He seemed to delight
sometimes in taking the unpopuIariside of
questions and the most unpromising side,
as If for the purpose of setting his intel :
lect hard task to give 1t exercise and
stimulus. He was not without vindic-
tiveness, andzhis hatreds not infreq uently
clouded his Judgment and weakened his
influence with the Intelligent reading
public. He seemed to take pleasure in
being ezratic especially in politics, but
the intellectual backing which he placed
behind all his opinions always ensured
them earnest attention. Dulness was
his special adherence. Personally Mr..
Dana was one of the kkindest and most
genial of men, but he sometimes dipped
his pen in gall and pursued men unre-
lentingly and unjustly. He made the
