AN ELECTION
JUDGE SHOT.
A Race War Breaks Out at the
Polls
In Greenwood, S. c., Resulting
in the Killing
OF ONE WHITE MAN
And the WOunding of a Num-
Der of Negroes.
Both Sides Armed and More
OF ONE WHITE MAN
Both Sides Armed and More
Trouble Expected.

Greenwood, s. C., Nov. s.-Intense ex-
element prevailed here all day yester-
day because Of the shooting of Mr..
Boaz Ethridge, one of the election
judges at Phoenix, and a subsequent
riot between the whites and blacks at
that place in which T. P. Tolbert and
several negroes were mortaNy wound
ed. The negroes had a separate box in
charge Of Tolbert IN which those who
could not vote In the regular boxes
could deposit certificates that they were
not allowed to vote for r. R. TOIbert
for congress, which certificates he ex-
pected to use IN his contest for Lati-
mere's seat.
MI. Ethridge attempted to take charge
of the box and was shot dead by one of
the negroes, who were croWding around
1t. Immediately the few white men
who could procure arms, or had them,
opened fire upon the crowd. The whites,
several hundred strong, are well arm
ed and determined, and if the leaders
in the trouble are caught no power on
earth can save them from a lynching.
At dark everything was quiet at
Phoenix, with the whites masters of the
situation, but the negroes are supposed
to be cOngregated about two miles dis
tant. Late last evening John r. Toll
bert was dangerously wounded and his
little nephew, son of r. L. Tolbert, who
was in the buggy with him, was in
stantly killed, while on their way home

GIRLS GROWING TALLER.
Brides Tower Several
Inches Above the Bridegrooms-

New York, Nov. 9.-It has become
familiar spectacle at fashionable we'd
dings of late to see the fair bride tow
e1ing several inches above the bride
groom, and some times forced to gaze
1neekly at the crown of his head.
That was the case with Mrs. Dave
Hennen Morris, Mrs. George Vanderbilt,
Marie Churchill, the Countess of Craven
and Miss Whitney, and was a fashlon
also set by the young Duchess OF Mari
borough who was an inch taller thau
her English lord.
1t is a decided reversal of the old or
der of things and has given rise to no
end of speculation and comment.
That women are growing taller with
startling rapidity is shown by the testl-
mony of the representatives of the Wo-
mems colleges.
Dear. Smith Of Barnard college said
that, while it was her fixed conviction
that the average height of the Amerl-
can girl had much increased during the
last score of years. Barnard, unfor-
tunately, has no gymnasium, and there
fore she could give statistics
But added Dean Smith, "Bryn
Mawr has kept a most comprehensive
and accurate set of statistics on this
point, and the physical culture charts
at this college prove beyond contradic-
ton that the American girl is today at
least two or three inches taller than she
was twenty years ago.
1.-The exercises would doubtless have
a tendency to increase the height of
women" said DR.. Smith. 81 shall watch
this growth in stature in the future with
a great deal of interest"
The fashionable tailors and modistes
one and all say that the increase in
height of the American girl is marked.
Said Mr.. Samuel Haas of 19 West Thir-
ty-first street:
There is a marked increase in the
height of our patrons, particularly no
ticeable among young women now in
their second and third seasons. It is
oil to 4alr "a
measures of a young woman who is
five feet ten inches tall, with a bust
mea sure of thfrty-eight inches, and an
absolutely perfect figure, according to
the proportions called artistic.
81 notice the increase in stature is
apparent in the younger women"

NEW SPECIES OF ELK.
Field Museum Party Makes a Discov-
cry in Olympia Mountains.

Seattle, Nov. 9--As the result Of three
months work by a party from the Field
Columbian museum, headed by Prof. d.
G. Elliott, a new species OF elk has been
found in the Olympia mountains and
named Roosevelt elk, in honor of the
hero Of Santiago. The animals were
found by a hunting party of three who
penetrated the toughest and most i'm
passable mountain region in the world
by leaving behind even their blankets
and living on condensed foods.
The ellSs are entirely different from
those found in the Rockies or in Alas
several being found which measured
nearly go inches between the outer
pEongs. There are only a few of them,
and they are in a country that will
hold them safe for many years.
In September, when Prof. Elliott was
within a few miles OF massive Mount
Olympus, strange rumbling noises were
heard. He believes that somewhere in
the mountains side a great glacier is
continually dropping icebergs into some
huge abyss and that the noises came
from falling ice. He does not believe
anyone has yet reached the base Of
olympus, much less climbed it.
In Lake Crescent the party caught
some wonderful fish. A Beardsley trout
weighing 1872 pounds was caught, and
another weighing 20 pounds. A new
species of trout discovered has been
named Switzerland.
g. Prof Elliott asserts that the Olympic
mountains are an inexhaustible store
house for the naturalist, and is we'll

ing to bring about her brothers en-
gagement to Miss Goelet.
He Is 20 years old and good looking.
His only fault is said to be an excessive
attention to light opera.
His family is ancient and famous.
The first earl was Lord Chancellor OF
England in the reign of Charles II. He
was also one of the proprietors of the
Carolinas in America. The present earl's
grandfather was the greatest philan-
thropist in England.
The earl has a splendid old country

FITZ HAS A VALET.
Pugilist Starring at Chicago Has 9
Servant With Brass Buttons.

Chicago, Nov. 9.-Champion Bob Fitz-
simmons has a valet. Everybody that
went to see the actor-pugilist in the
'Mulligan Guards BalP' at the Alhan-
bra yesterday afternoon didn't see the
boy in brass buttons and gold braid,
but he was behind the scenes just the
same, and scampering around obeying
his lanky master just as all Wallets are
supposed to do.
1t is the first season that Bob has
ever thought that an understudy was
necessary. But you See Bob explain
ed, my duties on the stage are becom-
ing more exacting, and it's q cinch I
am getting to be too popular to lace up
my own shoes and do things like that
And there you are"
AS for the valet, he Is a positive Won
der. The Prince Of Wales would think
he was more valuable than Tod Sloan
II he should ever get even a monocle
glimpse at him. He is gold braided all
over, and brilliant buttons make his
suit OF blue look jaunty. On each side
of his coat collar the word valet Is
emblaZoned in gilt capital letters. Bob
says he's a capital fellow. All the
chorus girls are after him.
Fitz has launched off on another an
gle. In his previous shows his appear
ance on the stage has been signalized
only by the regular bag-punchtng and
sparring exhibition. But in the Null
ligan Guards Ball'' he assumes the role
of the actor, the real article. He says
a few lines, and he doesn't tolerate any
prOmpter off in the wings, either.
1t is certainly thrilling moment
where Fitz' bit of acting sandwiches it.
self in between a comedy sketch and a
soubrette's song. The scene is a bar
room where cases of empty champagne
cases are stacked HIGH but where beer
is served over the bar.
A newsbOy shuff1es IN and ratt1es off
a little ragtine turn, and FitZ, who is
there, gives him a 81 bill to take home
to his invalid mother. Just at that mo-
ment the father, who is a barrel-house
product, drops in and takes the money
away from his son. OF course FftZ sees
him do it, pounces upon him, and with
a vigorous punch sends the drunkard
sprawling upon the floor. The audience
sets up an appreciative cheer, and Fitz,
bowling his thanks, SHOOTS out between
the scenery, calls his valet and gets
ready for the next act.
In the last act comes his bag-punch-
ing exhibition, which is really good and
much better than 1t was last year. He
gives It the regulation finale by ham
mering the leather out into the crowd.
Then he spars three short rounds with
"Yank'' Kenny. 1t was a clever little
set-to yesterday, and ''Yank'' showed
himself a speedy sparrer. Bob got in
on him rather hard once, and "Yank's'
left eye is now looking little the worse
for wear.

RANKS WITH BEN HUR.
New Novel Issued in New York
About Judas Iscariot-

New York, Nov. 9-An extraordinary
novel is about to be published by DR..
William A. Hammond, formerly sur
geon general of the United States army.
It's title is 1.-The Son of Perdition." The
hero of it is Judas Iscariot and the he
rome is Mary Magdalene, with whom
Judas is represented as being in love.
Judas as described in the novel, was
a rich man. holding offices of great i'm
portance under the Roman government.
He possessed a peculiar power, the ma
ture of which he himself did not under
stand, but which we often today would
call meSmeric.
BY means of this power he was able
so to influence the Emperor TiberIuS
to appoint Pontius PLATE to the gov
ernorship of Judea. incidentally, the in
teresting fact is brought out that, as
developed by DR.. HammOnd's research
es, Pontius Plate was a Spaniard.
Judas is described as a particularly
handsome man. It is on account of Ju-
das' love for Mary, and not for the 80
pieces of silver. that he betrays the
lord, according to the novel.
In historical accuracy the work will
rank with General Lew Wailace's ben
Hur."

PERSISTED IN QUTCKsAND.
E. Weidman, While Starving to Death
Writes of His Agonv.

Coudersport, Pa, Nov. 9.-The body
of Eugene Weidman was found today
in a nearly erect position in a swamp
near East Hebron
He had sunk to his hips in a bed Of
quicksand, and alongside the corpse
was found the following note, which the
unfortunate man had scrubbed while
he was in the mire:
Il am sinking and starving, and can't
get any water. I can't yen any more,
and I am going to pray, for my end is
near"
When the body was found Weidman
had been missing for five days. His
tongue stuck out and his head had
fallen back the face looking skyward.
A party of woodsmen passing along
the road in the vicinity of the spot
where Weidman's body was found heard
some one calling aloud, and st is proba-
BILE that it was Weidman.
When the victim of the treacherous
sand left home he intended to stake off
a plot OF ground in the forest, where he
expected to build a home for his fam
lily.

VAUDEVILLE CARS.
Through Trains Running Out of New
York Have Theater Cars.

Ork daV6 4n6aLSf CaIS-
New York, Nov. 9.-Several of the
through trains running out of New York
are soon to be equipped with luxurious
vaudeville cars fitted up with all the
accessories of a regular theater.
This startling innovation, which marks
a new era in the comforts of railroad
travel, will first be tried in the Lehigh
Valley system and the Nickel-Plate
railroad.
The first theatrical car will be run on
the Black Diamond Express on April
1, 1899 One of these cars is now being
built for John F. Harley, a well known
theatrical manager, who will provide
the entertainments.
The various shows given will consist
of vaudeville performances and con-
certs, the stage being too small for all
but the simpler theatrical productions.
Contracts have already been signed
with several railroad companies which
make it possible to give these perform
ances, charging about the same prices
as are asked in the regular theaters.
The novelty of going to the theater
while being whirled across the country
day or night is expected to appeal
strongly to the majority of travellers.
The idea of adapting the ordinary day
coach in this way was suggested to Mr..
Harley by the custom of the Christian
Endeavor and other religious societies
OF holding services while en- route to
their conventions.

BABY CONDENSED FORM,
Burlington People Flock to See Child
Which Looks Like a Doll

Burlington, N. J., Nov. 9.-No baby
that ever came to this city has attract
ed such wide spread attention as the
diminutive bit of humanity that has
just been born to Mr.. and Mrs. George
F. King, of No. 300 Clarkson street.
Visitors are numerous and the little one
has been looked upon curiously by the
young men, lovingly by the young
ladies and admiringly by the older
folks
Meanwhile the father and mother re-
ceive the congratulations and gaze upon
the midget youngster with proud paren
tai eyes. King is a shoemaker. He is
employed in a factory and has a small
but comfortable home.
The little one was weighed with its
clothes on and proved to weigh a little
less than two pounds. 1t is perfectly
formed and healthy, and the attending
physician says that barring unforeseen
trouble it will live and eventually grow
to the normal size.
The mother is a large and strong wo-
man, and when the babe is lying in bed
beside her it seems more like a doll
than real live child.

PAY FOR PEW SEATS.
New York Worshipers Are Taken to
Task by PauIist Fathers

New York. Nov. s-Members of the
congregation of the Paulist Fathers
church, Sixtieth street and Columbus
avenue, were notified today that they
must pay hereafter for their seats in
the church. After giving directions as
to the purchase Of tickets the notice
says:
Some people, Notwithstanding these
simple regulations, seem to fancy they
may pay just what they please and sit
where they will. Such a course upsets
all our calculations and puts to great
inconvenience both regular pewholders
and ushers as well. This is not in good
form, to say the least. To take any
seat one chooses, without regard for
the prearranged rights Of others, shows
very bad manners. Still, some take a
seat IS cOOlly as if they were a frozen
pond in December; you can walk all
over them with perfect safety-it has
not the slightest effect. The effort to
remove them to another vacant seat
is as great a contract as to remove an
iceberg"
Those who do not rent seats regularly
are expected to pay cents at the and
o'clock masses and at the other hours
10 cents for q seat
