Mr.. Stewart, Populist, of Ne
vada, preceded the tariff debate
by Offering an amendment pro
posing the maintenance Of a
treasury reserve of $125,000,O00
and the retirement Of bonds out
of the surplus above $125,0OO,OOO.
Mr.. Stewart stated that a prevl-
Gus amendment offered by him
might lead to injecting the silver
question into the tariff debate
so that he perferred to strip the
question of every things beyond
regulation of the treasury re-
serve.
The consideration of the tariff
bill began with schedule G. rela.
ting to metals and manufacturers
of metals. The first paragraph,
on iron ore. etc, went over at the
request of Mr.. Quey. The para
graphs on iron in pigs and on
bar iron were the same In the
House and Senate bills. Mr.. Jones
of Arkansas took occasion, how
ever, to make a statement to
show the absurdity, he said, of
keeping up the taxes on these
products when the American pro-
ducts had absolute control of the
market and shipped large guam
titles abroad.
\ discussion arose on paragraph
l25, relating to hoop, band and
iron. including ;hc bands used in

out that the Mckinley rate was

TORCHES AT THEIR FEET.

badly burned about the feet and legs,
but their injuries are not serious.
The Blakesley family is one of the
wealthiest and most eccentric in Han
cock or adjacent counties. They own
400 acres of rich farm land in the heart
of one of the richest oil pools in this ter
ritory, but have persistCntly refused to
lease it for drilling purposes, and have
made no effort to develop the oil them
selves. They live in small brick house
consisting of but three rooms. About
20 years ago they lost $4,000 by the
failure of a local bank, and ever since
have refused to deposit even the small
est amount in any banking institution,
and it is generally supposed that they
keep their wealth concealed about the
premises. Several weeks ago an at
tempt was made by local oil operators
to secure a lease on the undivided one
fourth interest in the land owned by
Smith Blakesley, who is of unsOund
mind. He signed the lease, but i'm
mediately an application was made to
the probate court to have guardian APP
pointed, which was refused. but during
the hearing of the case attention was
called to the fact that they were in
the habit of keeping large sums of
money in the house. and it is thought
that this information was taken adj
vantage of by local crooks who were
familiar with the premises. Mrs.
Blakesley claims that the roll of bills
contained between $500 and $500, but
neighbors who are well acquainted with
the affairs of the family say that they
had between $4,000 and $4,000 in the
house at the time the robbery occurred,
but whether it was in the bureau draw
er or was concealed in another hiding
place is not known. The only clew left
by the robbers were the torches, which
they threw into neighboring creek,
and which are of the variety used on
locomotives. and were evidently stolen
from some roundhouse or car shops.
They were heavily masked. The coun-
ty commissioners have offered a re-
ward of $3.50 for the apprehension of
each of the robbers, and detectives are
busily at work on a number of clews.

TORTURED BY ROBBERS.
Entire Ohio Family Bound Hand
and Foot
Torches Applied to Their Feet and
Limbs-simple Boy Who Showed
Fight Fatally C1ubbed-Big
Booty Carried on.

A few days ago the residence of Mrs.
Rebecca Blakesley, two miles west of
Findlay, o., was entered by seven
masked men, who battered down door
leading to a sleeping apartment occu-
pied by the entire family, consisting
of Mrs. Blakesley, two sons and a
daughter. The men rushed into the
room, and covering the thoroughly
frightened people with revolvers, de-
nanded that they give up what money
and other valuables they had in their
possession.
One of the two Blakesley boys, who
is an imbecile, attempted to secure pos
session of shotgun standing behind
the door, but was instantly hoored by
blows on the head from club in the
hands of one of the men. The Blakes-
leys were then bound hand and foot,
and torches were applied to their feet
in the hope that they would reveal the
hiding place of their valuables, but
none of them would acknowledge that
they had any money in the house, and
the robbers began to search the house.
Every piece of furniture was over
turned, the bedding ripped open, pic
lures removed from the wall, and every
nook and corner in the house searched.
In bureau drawer large roll of bank
bills, three gold watches and one silver
watch were obtained. After the search
was completed the robbers took the shot
gun, a rifle and two revolvers, which
they found in the kitchen, and depart
ed. About four o'clock the daughter
succeeded in freeing her hands from
the ropes with which they were tied,
and soon released the remainder of the
family. Neighbors were at once noti-
fed and medical assistance summoned
from the city. The first physician TO
arrive found John Blakesley in a very
critical condition, being unconscious
from the blow received on the head.
The other members of the family were

atty, to educate his wife, retired to a
forest home to carry out his ideas with.
out molestation. There, in 1858, Ram
abai was born, and there, in entire Sc
clusion, was educated by her parents.
Orphaned before she was 16, she trav-
eled several years with her brother, q
noble young man who sympathized
with her in her determination to de-
vote herself to the elevation of her
countrywomen. The degree of Saras-
vatiwas conferred upon her by the Uni
versity of Calcutta, she being the first
woman in the empire to be thus hon.
ored.
Pundita Ramabai married Bengal
csc gentleman, a lawyer, whom she
freely chose-this being an instance
almost without precedent. He died
within two years, leaving her at "a
with an eight-months-old baby. She
went to England, was made professor
of Sanscrit in Cheltenham college, and
in 1886 came to America to see her
cousin graduate from the Woman's
medical college of Philadelphia and to
study our educational methods.
Ramabai lectured in our principal
cities and wrote n book, THE High
Caste Hindoo Woman" during her stay
in this country, raising sufficient money
to open a school for child widows in In
dia, which is rapidly increasing in
power for good. She is thorough
going white ribboner, and is lecturer
for the Worlds Woman's Christian
Temperance union in India. Miss Will
lard says of her: Her gentleness ex-
ceeds any other manifestation of that
exquisite quality that have yet seen;
this tenderness, all-embracing as to the
human race, extends with her to every
sentient creature

from II different organizations of the

prise that the people of Augusta,

All this talk at the North

injustice with which he is being

are political rot and downright
hypocrisy. The negro comes no
nearer to enjoying equal rights,
social or political, in the North
than the South. And in both
sections he is an inferior and des-
pissed creature. And he will never
be otherwise regarded so long az
he continues to be the servile yot-

Occasionally we strike some SOL
Id chunks of good, hard sense on
