NEGROES AT PANA
Threatened With Annihilation by the
Striking Miners

PANA, ILL.,, Nov. lO,-William Lynch,
who was employed by the Pana Coal Com
pany up to the time of the strike, was shot
at by negroes and ran into his house. Then
they shot at the house of widow by the
name of Mrs. Mcintyre, who was taking
care of her sick daughter. Fortunately no
body was hit.
The negroes in the vicinity known as the
Fatham District came running out and
began shooting in all directions. They kept
the shooting up until soldiers arrived upon
the scene. When the shooting began many
women and children ran to Captain Butler,
of Company b, for protection. Things are
in such state that it is dangerous for any
night. The citizens say if something is not
done before long there will be an outbreak
and every negro and operator will be killed
1t was impossible to arrest any of the
negroes.

Odd Names of Some Old Time
During the Ei:zabethan period there
grew up in England great national
liking Tor sweet things. Not merely
was this seen in the general taste for
sugar ciriI;turc, but it was manifested
in the general demand for sweet wines,
the. rich shcrries, the charneco, the
sack, the sug2ry almond-favored sack
posset, and other drinks of the same
class. In drinking, as in eating. the in
crease of appetite for sugar grew by
what it fed on. Though not sweet
meat in the strict sense of the term,
''sack-posset" so largely represented
the taste OF that time for sweetness and
flavor that the recipe Of Sir Fleetwood
Shepherd, given by Mr.. Howard Staun-
ton in his Shakespeare notes, is worth
quoting: "To make a Sack-posset.
Take Two quarts of pure good cream
and quarter Of a pound of the best al
monds. Stamp them in the cream and
boil with amber and musk therein.
Then take pint of sack in basin and
set it on a chatting dish till it be blood
warm. Then take the yolks of IL eggs,
with four of their whites, and beat
them well together; and so put the
eggs into the sack Then stir all to-
gcther over The Goals till it is as thick
as you would have it. If you now take
some amber and musk and grind the
same quite small with sugar and rtrcw
this on top of your posset, II, mise
you that it shall have most delicate
and pleasant TASTE" There was an
other mixture Of the same class called
"rambooz," made of eggs, ale, wine and
sugar.

The Republican party in Ohio, the

Mark Hanna bought his way into the

evidence is presented that Mark
Hanna's own check passed and that

pew when in 1882 Low Sessions actu-
ally passed $1,000 bill to an assem-
blyman and engaged him to vote for
the learned and voluble gentleman?
OF course Chauncey knew nothing
about it. Hanna would not buy. his

Species Of Mammals.


Ventilation, or rather the want of 10,
must be difficulty in tie underground
life of almost all mammals, The rabbit
and tho rat secure current os aid by
forming bolt hole in conDoctio with
their system of passages, but tGo fox,
tho badger aud many Of the field voles
and mice seem Indifferent to any such
precaution. There is no doubt that
whatever gave the first impulse to bur
row, many animals look upon this, to
us most unpleasant exertion, as form
of actual amusement. IL also confers q
right Of property.
Prairie dogs constantly set TO work to
dig holes merely for the love of the
thing. II they cannot have a suitable
place to exercise their talent in, they
will gnaw into boxes or chests Of draw
ers, and there burrow, TO the great det-
riment of the clothes therein contained.
In an inclosed prairie dog town" they

house, instantly dug a hole large enough
to sit in, turned round in ID and bit the
frat person who attempted to touch
him. Property gave him courage, for
before he had been as meek as mouse.
It Is noticeable that the two weakest
and least numerous of our mice, the
dormouse and the harvest mouse, do not
burrow, but make nests, aud that these.
do not multiply or maintain their numS
bers, like tho burrowing mice and voles.
But tho fact that there arc members OF
very closely allied species, some Of
which do bnrrow, while others do not,
seems to indicate that the habit is an
acquired one.
In this connection 10 Is worth noting
that many animals which do not bur-
row at other times form burrows In
which to conceal and protect their
young, or, IL they do burrow, make q
different kind of more elaborate char
aoter. Among these nursery burrows
are those Of the dog, the fox and sand
martin. the kingfisher and the shell
drake. Foxhound litters never do 40
