Breaking Up the Kluklux Khan.


Breaking Up the kluklux Khan.
W. E. Curtis, in Chicago Record.
James E. Boyd, of North Carolina, the
assistant attorney general, who has been
warmly recommended as the successor of
Judge McKenna when the latter is elevated
to the Supreme Bench, has not always been
a Republican, and was not a Union man
during the war; as L recently stated in
these dispatches. He entered the rebel
army when a mere boy and fought four
years until the surrender of Gen. Joe john
ston, when he returned to his home at
Greensboro and studied law. He was also
one of the earliest members of the Kul1lux
Khan, and participated in several raids
made by that organization, until it ceased
to be innocent and became infamous. Then
he determined to break it up, and did more
in that direction than all the courts and
sheriffs and prosecuting attorneys We're
able to do. His story is told in that re-
markable historical novel, THE Fools
Errand," by Judge Albion w. Tourgee, at
present counsel to Bordeaux, which created
such profound sensation when 1T was
published twenty or more years ago. The
plot and the incidents of the story are
founded upon the actual experience or
rately drawn from life, with one exception,
and that is Mel Quincy, who assisted Col:
Boyd-who appears under the name of
John Burlison-in breaking up the kuklux
Quincy is a composite picture and his eX-
perience is made up of that of half a
dozen or more young men in the neighbor-
hood, but none of them married Lily, the
daughter of Judge Tourgee, who is the
heroine of the plot. She is still unmarried
and has gone to France with her father.
Colonel Vaughn is Ezekial Jones, still liv-
ing at Greensboro. John Walters is John
Walters Stevens, victim of the Kuklux,
and the awful tragedy of his death is cor
rectly told. Judge Denton is the late Thos:
Settle, father of the present member of
Congress of that name. Eyebright is w.
r. Albright. Jesse Hyman is Jesse Hyatt.
The United States senator SO frequently
quoted and referred to is the late Judge
Abbott who served in the Senate from
North Carolina at that time. and John
Burlison, as have said, is Assistant At
torneY General BOYD.

chicaeo's Poor Boys and Girls Feast

Chicago's Poor Boys and Girls Feast
ed by Generous Merchant.
} CHICAGO. Nov. 25.-While Isaac Woolf
lay in bed in his Michigan-avenue home
last night nursing a broken leg he kept an
ear at the receiver of a long-distance tele-
phone and listened to the shouts and cheers
of thousands of newsboys and waits of the
streets who were being RECALLED with their
annual Thanksgiving feast in his store,
Madison and Halsted streets Twelve thou
sand boys and girls were fed, and from $50
to midnight the large and brilliantly light
ed store was thronged within and encircied
without with cohorts of lads and lassies
whose begrimed faces glowed through the
coating of dirt and whose tongues alter
nately Smacked of the good things just
tasted and uttered expressive encomiums
of the giver Seventy-fiVe walters were
busy for six hours dealing out in generous
quantities portions of the following collec-
ton of eatabies: Four shundred and
Seventy-five turkeys, six barrels OF mashed
potatoes, twenty barrels of apples, l,OOO
gallons of milk, four barrels or cranberry
sauce, $50 punches of bananas, $50 loaveS OF
bread, 80 boxes of grapes, sixty boxes OF
oranges, $50 dozen cakes, 1000 pies, and
celery and other side relishes galore. Prior
to the feed a parade of newsboys, head
ed by a newsboys' band, marched across
the river to the Woolf store. From their
arrival till late at night 1T kept dozen po-
licemen busy holding back the crowds and
restraining the eager youngsters. Nine
hundred were seated at once and the scene
in the big store was remarkable. Besides
the music of munching and drinking there
was an orchestra present, and also vocal
artists, who assisted in diverting the feast
ers and the hundreds who looked on. Black
Patti sang two songs. This was through
the kindness of her managers, Voelckel and
Nolan, and E. p. Simpson, the manager of
the Academy of Music
Mr.. Woolf was born in London forty-six
years ago and lived next to Barney Bar
nato for time, and peddled papers with
the once diamond king in the streets of the
worlds metropolis. The memory of this
experience in early youth is the cause of
his generosity on each succeeding Thanks
giving eve.

The Japanese-Hawaiian Dispute.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-Hawaian Min
lister Francis M. Hatch, who has just ar
rived in this city on his return from Homo
lulu, expressed the opinion to-day that the
trouble between Japan and Hawaii had
been smoothed out and can be settled now
without difficulty or irritation The Japan
csc government, seems, he said, to be dis
posed to nave the matter Settiea IN as
1T is entirely satisfactory to Hawaii, l
should judge, to have the matter of the al
legged claim for damages stated definitely.
1t fixes the limit of the claim, if any dam
ages are to be allowed. Before the claim
might have been g or $1,000 O0 This. it
seems to me, places the matter in a more
tangible shape, and 1 think the disposition
on both sides now is to treat of the matter
in a friendly spirit" The amount claimed
by Japan as damages is not exceeding
5000 OO0
