The Virginia Methodist conference
took high Christian ground as 10 the
famous boo scandal at Nashville. The
Richmond Times says and says well
and wisely:
The church cannot afford to employ
such measures to obtain money. and
the M~ethodists Of Virginia are deter
mined to wash their hands Of the
whole business. The morale OF the
church is worth more than all the
claims ever allowed by congress"
The negro as TO has
only one lea idea-that it is the duty
Of Uncle Sam to feed, clothe. teach
and protect him in laZiness, theftli-
ness and violence. He has no concep-
ton whatever of the true functions Of
state government and cares nothing
for it outside of office.
A negro at Bedford City. Va. at
tempted a criminal assault upon an
aged white lady. Great excitement,
prisoner in jail and hanging ahead
probably.
Negro troops raised a riot at Macon.
Ga, over a persimmon tree gallows.
where a negro rapist was hanged nine
years ago.
Major General Don Carlos Buell.. of
the northern army, and a meritorious
officer, is dead at his home near
Lockport, Kentucky. A dispatch an
nouncing his death says:
His fame on the battlefield of 10Th
the Mexican and civil wars give lustre
to American SOldiery. 8 At ShilO
he saved the day for Grant. He re-
signed his commission in the army in
June, 1864, and had lived in retire
ment eVer since"
The last statement is strictly true.
All! No troops for Illinois, but lots
of investigation for the Carolinas and
northern demand for a Force Bill for
the south. It is all politics. The
"sizes it" in saying:
"TO interfere in the state affairs of
Illinois would hurt the republican par
ty; not to Interfere, or to talk about
interference, in the state affairs of
South Carolina would, in the opinion
Of the W that be. hurt the repub-
lican party in the south"
Dun reports improvement in bust
ness. Cotton continues low, and stocks
in hands of manufacturers heavy, with
no prospect of an advance in prices.
Failures last week 223 against 267 for
the corresponding week in 1897. The
south had 81 against 63 for last year.
A certain Robert Reyburn, NJ. D.,
shoots off his little gun loaded with
mud in The Washington Post. He
says the whites here were guilty Of
arson and murder. He fails to state
what caused 1.-The unp1easantness,"
and why the whites armed and so on.
He ought to put out facts and stop
slandering.
The Richmond Dispatch say with
prOpriety and Justice:
THE wonder is not that a collision
occurred on the 18th, but that after
seeing SO much misrule, the whites of
Wilmington were able to restrain their
anger so long as they did"
Northern republican p2pers are in
q big disgust now over the negro as a
soldier and his doings. Writing of his
bad onduc near Santiago, the Phila-
delphia Telegram says emphatically:
This lamenta BE occurrence was not
needed to teach the lesson hat it is
a mistake to place cOlOred officers in
charge of colorel soldiers. : The
sooner, therefore,, experiments Of this
character are abandoned the better fer
the country, ana especially for the col
ored race"

when five years old my little boy had
scrofula on his face, hands and arms. It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands were very bad.
1t appeared in the form of red pimples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the litsle sufferer had
to be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed al his condition. BY
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had helpd her was
Hoods Sarsapariila. We decided TO give
it to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods Sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out of his
blood and j. has never since returned"

GOT HER PAINTINGS BACK.
Wflhelmfna Won Olsen Visits Her
Alleged -Husband,s Wife.

There was an exciting scene yesterday
between Wiiheln.ina A. E. Won Olsen and
Mrs. Thomas NJ Fields, formerly Miss
Theresa Agnes Burke. at the home of the
latter, No sos @ Street. Wilhelmina Won
Olsen is the woman who alleges that she
is Thomas NJ. FieIds's lawful wife. and
against whom he has instituted proceed
ings TO have certain marriage certificate
in her possession annuIled, and Mrs.
Fields, of Q Street, is the woman whom
Mr.. Fields acknowledges as his wife, and
the only woman he ever married.
The meeting of the two women was oc-
casioned by Wilhelmina Won Olsen going
to the residence of Mrs. Fields, accom-
panied by constable TO levy on some
paintings at the home OF the latter. Will
helmina Won Olsen claims that the paint
ings at the Fields residence were her
property by right of creation. in that
they were the work OF her own paint
brush. However this may be, Mrs Fgelds
was in no humor TO see her beautiful
paintings taken from her home
Mrs. Fields would not be seen last
evening TO give her version of the affair,
so Wilhelmina Won Olsen was asked for
her side of the story.
She said that as soon as she appeared in
the doorway Mrs. Fields said to her
Minnie Roberts, what do you want here
in my house Minnie Roberts is the al
legged alias of Whhelmina Won olsen
The constable stated that he had come
to serve a repleyin writ sworn out by
Mrs. Fields and take possession of some
pictures, which she claimed and which
she said were in the house.
Mrs. Fields, indeed" exclaimed Mrs
Fields No. 2, why. that woman is moi
Mrs. Fields. I am Tom Fields's wife"
When she was ordered TO deliver up the
| paintings Mrs. Fields said the constable
| could have them, but he could not have
| the frames, for they at least did not be
| long to WiIheimina Won Olsen.
The constable finally got possession o.
| all the paintings which Wilhelmina Vor
| Olsen identified as hers and carried then
away with him. In the replevin suit fol
| the paintings Thomas ". Stewart is sure
| ty in the sum of $500.
! Late yesterday afternoon WilheImini
went TO Mr.. Fields's office on Four-and-a
! Half Street in search of more paintings
MIR. Fields was not at his Office at tn

THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.
Celebration of Jewish Yom Kfppu
VIII Begin Tonight.

The opening services of one of the most
solemn occasions in the Jewish church
calendar, Yom Hakkipurim, or, as 1t is
sometimes called in an abbreviated form,
Yom Kippur, or the day of atonement,
will be celebrated tonight at the Temple
OF the Washington Hebrew Congregation,
In Eighth Street. The services will COM
mence al o'clock and will probably last
until o'clock, as it will be impossible to
get through with the elaborate ceremonial
prescribed for the occasion until that
hour.
An address will be delivered by Rabbi
Stern on the topics of the day, as well as
on the internal affairs of the congrega-
ton. The rabbi will preach again on
Monday as time permits. and will be fol-
lowed by the Hon. Simon Wolf in brief
address
Monday is Atonement Day, and in the
afternoon will occur the most solemn
ceremony of the Jewish Church, the
memorial service for the dead. The music
on that occasion will be of the most SOL
emn character, and. contrary TO the
usual custom, will be rendered exclusive
ly by the quartette OF the Temple.
Under the Mosaic dispensation, the
tenth day of the seventh month was set
apart as Yom Hakkipurim. The ten days
beginning with Rosh Hashanah and end
ing with Yom Hakkipurim are observed
a period of repentance and good works,
and are called the ten days of penitence.
1t is, accordingly, customary TO signal
ize this period by special deeds of benev-
olence and charity, and particularly 10
seek the reconciliation of offended breth-
ren through mutual concession. 1t is an
annual revival of fraternity and good will
and a due preparation for the solemn or
deal of a reconciliat ton with God.
1t is n day of fasting. prayer and spir-
itual publication. 1t is reserved in ac-
cordance with the command In Lev. xvi
29: And this shall be unto you a statute
forever; in the seventh month, on the 10th
OF the month. We shall fast and do no
work at all, whether the native or the
stranger that sojourneth among you, for
on that day ye shall be aioned for TO pu-
rify you; from all your sins before the
Eternal shall We be purified; a Sabbath of
Sabbaths shall this day be unto you, and
ye shall fast; this is an ordinance for
ever"
In speaking of the term. "The Congre-
CATION of Beth Elohim." Rabbi Stern
said that he wanted TO say that this term
is incorrect. The term Beth Elohim"
means simply The house of God" and
might be applied TO the place of worship
OF any sesct.
On Monday all places of business con-
Quoted by Jewish merchantmen will be
closed, and there will be no business done
during the continuance of the fast.

Gomez to Move ON Havana.

Washington, July 23.-It was said
this afternoon that the 1000 Mauser
rifles surrendered by Gen. Toral's
soldiers will be turned over to Gen.
Gomez. who will proceed with his
army toward Havana and lay siege
to the city.
Since Gen. Blanco has been cut off
from Madrid and can no longer re-
ceive remittances from his home
government, he will endeavor to ex-
tend his 70: tiflcations some miles
from Havana: with the view of hav-
ing land enough on which to raise
supplies for his troops, and it is said
TO be Gen. Gomez's intention to
checkmate him.
An officer of the war department
said it had been decided to beslege
Havana. Taking the city in this way
will protect to q large extent the in
terests of many Americans who OWL
property there.

De Almond MAY Gust Bailey

Washington, July 23.-Democratic
partisans are talking seriously of the
next race for speaker, not that they
really expect their party to control
the next house, but because the emp
ty honor of caucus nomination for
speaker carries with it the nominal
party leadership for that term. Mr..
B alley of Texas is now that leader,
but he has had the open hostility of
considerable section of his party
and the concealed hostility of still
more. The quarrels of the minority
factions have been funnily desperate
or desperately funny, as you please,
all through this congress.
1t has been understood that as Mr..
MoMillin of Tennessee would retire
from congress to become governor
of his state the faction he led would
turn to Mr.. Richardson of the same
state as their leader. Now comes
MIR. Cochran of Missouri to say that
MIR. DeArmond of that state would
also be a candidate for the dem.
ocratic caucus nomination fol
speaker.
DeArmond is a rabid opponent oi
civil service reform and generally
gets hold of the wrong end of al
public questions as fast as they come
up. He may not succeed in de
throning Bailey, but he will helI
make things interesting when the
Fifty-sixth congress assemblies, some
thing more than a year from thiI
writing.

SUNDAY MORNING. JULY %. 1898.


Ponca City, July 23.-The Osag
Indian is a politician. He takes J.,
keen an interest in the officers of his
nation as any white politician does
in his county or district. An cleo
ton is now approaching in the Usage
reservation, and Black Dog repre-
sents one element, while O-lah-hah-
hah-wah-lah represents the other.
Even now there are stole fullbloods
going about over the reservation
putting up jobs on the candidate
who opposes his choice. The night
before election they go from camp to
camp to fix things, says the Ponca
City Courier.
There are FIVE precincts in the res
ervation and at each the chief ap-
points three judges of election.
These men make up a sheet which
almost corresponds with our poll
books. When an Indian comes up
to vote he gives his name which is
written down and also the candidate
for whom he wishes to vote on the
the lines with his name. When the
polls are closed the announcement
of the result is made and it is neve r
changed except where a challenge
made before the council when the
uote is canvassed, is sustained. All
male citizens over Is years of age
whose name is on the roll of the ma
ton are entitled to a vote.
They frequently spend much time
and money to influence votes in the
election, often giving away ponies
for votes They will go to some man
who has an especially large vote
under his control and offer all sorts
of inducements to him to be an adept
strategist when it comes to vote get
ting.
