ANARCHY IN LOUISIANA.
Caused by Reign of cred Necks" =
Negroes Ordered to Leave.

New Orleans, Dec. ia state of anaf-
cfv has existed in Tangipahoa parish for
a week. The governor has been appealed
to but the states executive has declared
his inability to aid the business interests
of the parish On Thursday AFTERNOON
300 white men, who are known as Red
Necks" surrounded the home of Il. V
Preston, manager of the Banner lumber
mills at KentwOOd, and ordered him 70
leave the county that night or he would
be killed. A member of the mob yelled:
Lets kill him now" Mrs Preston went
on her knees and begged the mob to spare
her husbands life, promising them tnat
he would leave that night. W lille this
mob was al PrestOn's house another one
was at the home of Judge Reed OF FRANK
lin and warned him on the pain of death
to leave the parish within "a hours and
never to enter it's borders again.
Judge Reed knows they will keep their
word as they killed his brother in front
of his court house about a year ago for
cause of the present uprising is the result
of mill owners employing colored labor
a t their plants.
Notice has been served on every colored
person employed in the sawmills that they
must leave the parish. The whites have
also notified the Illinois Central railroad
officials that they must dismiss every coll
ored person employed on their trains and
road within the borders of the parish. If
the road refuses, the Red Necks' have
threatened to dynamite the tracks and
burn all the depOts. The cOlOred men are
arming and mill owners fear to remain in
the parish. Judge Reed and Preston left
the parish on Friday.

SAVED THE LIONS LIFE.
Reprieve Arrived for Chicago Beast
Just in Time.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Just as Cy DeVry,
Lincoln park, was about to carry out
the death sentence pronounced on
Billy" the last of the 2-year-OId lion
cubs at the park, a reprieve was grant
ed the brute and its life was saved.
The beast has been suffering from the
Tickets for some months and nothing
could be done to relieve it. Its bones
were fast disintegraring and nothing
but death can relieve the animals Suf-
fering, the animal doctors say.
Early this morning Derry went to the
lions den and, with the aid of attend
ants, lassoed the brute and hauled it
into a shed near by, where it was to be
killed. The animal doctors took a last
look at the cub and declared that death
only would relieve it of it's misery. De-
Vry had the beast tied down with ropes,
saturated a sponge with chlorofOrnn, got
his smOthering cloth read y and was
about to pour the deadly anesthetic into
the animals nose when a messenger
rushed up.
'StopI Don't kill himl" cried the al
most breathIess courier. 1--WE a re-
prieve. Mr.. Andrews says not to kill
the lion
DeVry received and read the note
from the superintendent of the park and
then informed the assembled people
that there would be no execution.
Investigation disclosed the fact that
an Out-of-tOWn dealer had bought the
lion at the last moment and will at
tempt to cure him of his terrible malady

BOYCOTT is GOOD.
President stlckney Says Maple Leaf
Earnings Are Increasing.

St Paul. Dee. 15.-President A. B.
Stickney of the Chicago Great Western
today confirmed the report that the
Union Pacific had Joined the Rock Is
land boycott against his road, but did
not seem to be particularly worried
over the situation; he said the direct
effect of the Union Pacific's action
would be slight but that indirectly the
Great Western would gain considerable
business.
His road comes in connection with
the Union Pacific system at Kansas
City, but the business there has al
ways come from their own agents and
there had been but little busin ess thrown
to them by the Union Pacific. In the
same way their dealings with the Rock
Island at Des Moines were not very
heavy, but the Great Western had
been given new business daily as a di-
rect result of the boycott. He showed
to the Associated Press representative
Official reports of the daily increase in
business of So, 600 to $4,000 since the boy
colt had been declared Mr.. Stickney
said further that the Union Pacific ae-
ton referred only to freight business
and he presumed it was to go into
effect December 10, but he was unable
to say exactly as to that. AS to the
reported settlement of the trouble at
meeting In Chicago, Mr. Stickney said
he knew nothing about it except what
had appeared in the newspapers.

SHE BOUGHT ARSENIC.
Some Damaging Testimony offered
Against Mrs. Botkin.

San Francisco, Dec. 15.-The trial of
Mrs. CordeHa Botl1in is becoming more in
teresting to that part of the public which
takes an interest in such proceedings. To-
day was cold and stormy, but the crowd
which managed to pack itself into Judge
Cooks court room was as large if not
larger than on any previous day and the
police had hard work preserving order.
Never has a murder trial of such import
progressed so rapidly in a San Francisco
court room. Witnesses are subjected to
but slight cross-ex an1tna ton as a rule and
the attorneys on both sides rarely protest
against the admission of evidence.
Thomas Price, the analytical chemist OF
this city, who examined some of the can
dies sent to Mrs. Dunning, was the first
witness called Prof. Price stated that
he received eight samples of the candy
from Chief of Police Lees on September
q and that his analysis showed an ag
gregate amount of is grains of arsenic IN
the candy submitted to him. He describ-
ca the dlHerent forms OF arsenic Tor the
benefit of the jury and was then excused.
DR.. Wolfe, the chemist from Dover, Del,
was recalled ana was asked II he mas ever
heard Of arsenic being used for bleaching
straw hats: He replied in the, negative.
rms question was asked Tor the reason
that Mrs. Bot6in admitted shortly after
her arrest that she had purchased some
arsenic for the purpose mentioned.
Frank G.. Ray, a pharmacist, furnished
important information regarding the pur-
that the 1st of June Mrs. Botkin, whom
ne knew slightly, called upon him for some
arsenic ana volunteered Ine explanation
that she wished it for the purpose of
ed several other medicines, but Mrs. Bot
kin said that she was familiar with ar
SenlC ana preferred H. Gray maze the
entry on the poison book of the store in
dicating the use to which it was to be
subjected. He entered the name on the
book as Mrs. Botkin.''
David Green, a pharmacist employed in
the same store failed to positively fdenti-
fy Mrs Botkin as the woman who pur-
chased some arsenic from him, though he
said she was short and stocky. This de-
scriptiOn fits Mrs. BOtkin, but only to
limited extent.
Mrs sylvia Heney, a saleswoman for
George Hass & Sons, was the most i'm
portant witness. She identified some Of
the candy sent to Mrs. Dunning as being
from the stock of her employers. She
identified the box and explained that she
did not quite fill it. at the request of the
purchaser, who said she wished to put
something else in the box.
Mrs. Heney identified a seal used by the
firm and said that the purchaser appear
transaction. Mrs. Heneys Identification
was not positive, but she qualified it by
saying that she believed that Mrs. Bot
kin was the person to whom she sold the
candy.

PLAN A NEW UNIVERSITY.
New York Theological Seminary to
Be Given Wider Scope.

New York, Dec. 15.-Carrying out
plans Of friends of Union Theological
seminary to make it a theological uni
versity, a committee has been named to
procure funds for thine establishment
OF a new chair, the name of which has
not yet been determined. The commit
tees appointment at this time is due to
an offer from Mrs. Elliott F. Shepard
of a liberal sum of money on condition
that a further sum can be realized,
making the endowment of the chair
500, 900 and its income 3d. 600 a year.
This proposition found favor in the
Fifth Avenue Presbyterian church, as
the purpose is for the new chair to be
a memorial to their late pastor, Rev.
DR.. John Hall. with his son, Rev. Thos.
c. Hall, as it's first occupant if he will
accept it.
one of the committeeman said today
that he did not know the present
amount of the fund, but believed it to
be considerably more than half raised.
and thought there would be no doubt
that it would be quickly complied.

is DYING OUT.
Volunteers Give Up Topeka and Sal
walton Army Dwindling.

The Volunteers Of America have de-
cided TO abandon the sinners of Topeka
to the Salvation Army. They have
given up their hall at 215 West Fifth
street, and the Salvation Army, which
has been without a hall for several
weeks and has been holding services ex-
clusively on the streets, will move in.
The commanding officer of the VOlun-
teers will leave for Texas in a few
days, and after his departure no effort
will be made to preserve an organiza-
ton.
Both organizations have been dwind-
ling in membership for some time, and
lately the Topeka sinners have been
more content to remain in the vicinity
of stoves than to stand on the cold
streets and be saved. Unless fresh in
terest is awakened the Salvation Army
is apt to follow in the footsteps of the
Volunteers, and leave the regular
church organizations in the city to fight
the battle with sin.

GLAD ME SOUTH LOST.
Southern Legislator is Loyal to His
Country.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 15.-The Georgia
legislature was treated to an unusual
sensation during the debate on Confed-
crate pensions when Mr.. Wade Of
Brooks said he was glad that the cause
of the South was lost, and that the
stars and stripes today float over the
Empire state of the South.
Mr.. Wade said that While he was glad
the South was not triumphant in the
civil war. he was opposed to any kind
of a cut in the pension fund. Later in
the debate he was taken to task by Mr.
Chappell. Mr. Wade said that all his
ancestors were Southerners as far
back as he could trace. and he yielded
to no man in his love for the South but
he would reiterate what he said as to
being glad at the result of the civil war

GRIP Is EPIDEMIC.
Snow and SIush the Agents IN Spread.
ing It in New York

New York, Dec. 15.-There Is a bad
epidemic of the grip in New York. The
accumulation Of snow and slush upon
the streets and wet feet is mainly re-
sponsible for the spread of the disease.
though the general atmospheric condi-
tions are most favorable, not only for
influenza, but for every other brand of
weather disease"
No report of grip cases is made to
the board of health, but DR.. Roger s.
Tracey, the registrar. says he has had
many reports showing the disease is
prevalent. DR.. Guilford, of the board.
reported that several members OF his
own family are suffering from IL.
DR.. Cyrus Edison says the grip is ep-
idemic. He had many cases in his pri-
vate practice this week.
1T is not as serious as during the
epidemic years" he added, though the
cases are as numerous as I ever knew
them to be- The disease seems to run
its course in three days, and in some
cases. in "a hours The best thing in the
treatment of this affection consists in
prevention. Don't get the grip. You
wont have it if your general health is
good, and you can keep yourself in pro-
per condition by care in diet, care in
getting enough sleep and care in keep
ing dry and refraining from exposure.
1.-The early closing movement in so
ciety advocated by several leaders is a
bad thing for the grip A person who
wants to get that disease should keep
late hours, get feet wet, cut OFF sleep
overdue life physically and mentally,
drink or play or work too much.
People in good bodily state need not
be afraid. They don't catch either con-
tagiOus of infectious diseases.
1t is a good idea to take a cold bath
on getting up in the morning. 1t hard
ems the body and keeps one from catch
ing cold. 1t prevents many cases OF
grip
DR.. Tracey, of the board Of health,
said that he cid not anticipate any In
crease in the death rate.
THE grip seems to have run its
course" he said, and is not to be fear
ed nearly as much as during previous
years. As far as health authorities
know the grip is epidemic in the Yellow
river valley in China That's where
the supply comes from. It travelled all
around the world the last time and
went back to the Yellow river, where
it was identified as the local marsh fe-
yer of that region. Boards Of health
haven't much say in China now, and
until they have the grip germ factory
there will run on full time"
