A Fighting Negress.

There was trouble in Central Af-
rica yesterday afternoon and later
last night. In the negro settle
ment around the ice plant lives an
Amazonian female named Belle
Douglas, her wrath was aroused
terribly last evening and the Ian
guage she used was indecent. A
fracas must have been on hand for
a telephone from the night watch
man at the ice plant to the City
drug store last night said the
women were fighting like dogs and
they could not be separated Send
Pulliam at once Night police
man Bob Biggars was detailed for
the job and his appearance quelled
the trouble. Belle was brought
before Mayor Gait this morning
and fined $3.50 and costs; More
trouble is expected from this same
source, but the fine will remain
the same.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Awful Fate Of Child Near Earl. and
Narrow Escape OF the Grsndmother.
Fire Caused by Coal OIL Explosion.

Particulars of a dreadful occur
renee near Earl, eighteen miles
northeast, reached here to-day.
The narrowing details, given to
the ARDMoREITE by H. J. Green, a
resident of that community. are as
follows:
About 4 o'clock Monday after
noon the 4-year-old son of James
Phelps went into the smokehouse
to play. The child had taken
some matches with him, and one
of these he struck near can of
kerosene. An explosion followed,
and the burning oil was scattered
all over the interior of the build
ing, which was soon on fire in
number of places.
The report of the explosion and
the moaning of the burning child
alarmed the grandmother, who,
despite her enfeebled condition,
dragged herself to the smOkehouse
and made several Intellectual at
tempts to rescue her grandson, dur
ing which she sustained several
severe burns. Despairing Of reach
ing the burning child, the woman
finally returned to the dwelling
and soon tainted.
The flames soon spread to the
dwelling. By this time neighbors
began to arrive on the scene and
rescued the fainting woman and a
few household articles. Every
thing else was consumed
As soon as possible the work of
recovering the child's body was
begun. When it was found moth
ing remained but the trunk, the
arms and legs having been burned
to a crisp. The body lay only a
few feet from the can, and it is
the general belief that the child
was stunned or killed outright,
otherwise he would have escaped
from the building before the flames
reached him.
The family has the sympathy of
many people here, where Mr.
Phelps formerly lived and worked
at the carpenters trade.

ATTORNEY GENERAL GRIGGs.
Tells of the Work of Department OF
Justice I'm His Annual
Report.

Washington, Dec. s.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Griggs Wednesday submitted to
congress his annual report OF the oper-
atoms OF his department.
"The war revenue act" he says. has
been especially productive OF doubtful
questions, and many instances Of advice
and direction to the commissioner OF In
terral revenue relative to different features
of that statute viii be found In the report
OF that officer The attention OF congress
is respectfully called to them In order that,
II II be deemed necessary or advisab.e. con-
gress may correct any defects or inequali-
ties in the law which the interpretations of
the department OF justice have made.
Very soon after the outbreak of the war
with Spain the department was called upon
TO take charge OF legal proceedings for
the condemnation OF vessels and cargoes
captured by the navy as prizes and brought
into our ports for adjudication. AS early
as April %, two Spanish vessels-the Buena
Ventura and the Pedro-were so taken,
and thereafter similar captures were made
by our warshlps during the progress of the
war until a total OF &c vessels were brought
into various ports and labeled as prizes.
or this number 80 were taken to Key West.
within the Jurisdiction of the southern dis
trct of Florida. four were taken to Charles
ton, one to Savannah, and one to New
York. All but eight of the so cases brought
in the Florida district have been heard
and decided, those still undecided being
those captured during the later stages of
the war.
1.-THE attention OF congress is called to
the necessity of providing a more complete
and adequate form of government for
Alaska. The efforts TO administer justice
and maintain order in the territory. with
the large accessons of population that
have recently gone into that region. re-
stricted by the very limited machinery
provided for Alaska in its original sparsely-
populated condition. are attended with
great difficulty and embarrassment The
power of congress to provide a form of
adapted to the peculiar condi-
tons of this territory is undoubted The
OF justice is entirely inadequate.
There should be an increase in the num-
Der of Judges the number of United States
and United States district
attorneys. The powers of the United
States commissioners in that territory
should be increased, so as to enable them
to hear and conclude minor cases of both
civil and criminal nature, with right of APP
peal to the territorial district court. Much
arises from the operation of the
fee system in connection with the office
of United States commissioner | recon-
mend that a change in the method of COM
pensating these officers be made. so that
their compensation shall be paid entirely
by fixed salary. and all fees covered into
the treasury"

The Modern Idea.

A teacher in local primary school in
an endeavor to inculcate moral lesson in
the receptive minds of her little charges
asked them what they would do if they had
great deal of money. With remarkable
unanimity the pupils replied that they
would donate it to pleasing others. They
didn't say SO in chorus, but the answers ran
down the line in about this fashion:
I'D buy present for papa"
I'D get something nice for mamma"
I'D spend it for my baby brother"
"Pd buy nice cloak for grandma"
And so it ran on until it reached little
Jimmie Peters, the last boy in the line.
"Well, Jimmie" queried the teacher,
what would you do if you had lots of
money"
