WILMINGTON RACE WAR.
The Negro Collector Lays the Blame
on Editor Manly.

New York, Nov. 22.-John c. Darcy,
the negro collector of the port at Will
mingtOn, N. c., is in this city. Mr..
Darcy left Wilmington last week dur
ing the progress of the race war in that
city, but he denies that he left for fear
of being a victim of the wrath of the
white citizens Of Wilmington.
Manly" said he, lis responsible for
the whole unfortunate condition of
things. When he published his editor
ial rejecting upon the white women of
the state, 1 with other leading cOlOred
men of Wilmington held a conference
with him, and urged him to retract the
article. We even went so far as to
write an editorial refuting the one writ
ten by Manly, but he would not take
our advice and publish it. If he had
done so there would have been no race
war in Wilmington. He accepted the
advice Of others, and the folly of his
course is shown by the events which
followed.
1.-The intelligent colored people Of the
state did not indorse the utterances of
Manly, and if he had acted wisely there
would have been no bloodshed in Will
ningtOn. And then, too, the committee
of colOred citizens appointed for the
purpose of SuppreSSing Man1y'S paper
blundered in not making known at once
their disapproVal Of Manly's course and
their determination to get rid of him
I don't believe that it was the intention
of the White citizens to wreck or destroy
his office, but when the committee of
colored citizens were apparently indif-
ferent to the suppression of Manly, this
enraged the white citizens and the
wreck of the Office followed.

Carolina was most cordial and AMIGA

MIDGET SLOAN ANGRY.
Returns to America For a Rest-Dis-
likes Criticism.


New York, Nov. 22.-Among the pas
sengers arriving on the Cunard liner
Lucania was Tod Sloan, the jockey. He
came with a great deal of baggage, a
new crimson dressing gown, a large hat
and an attack of megacephalia-
Sloan is highly indignant at American
newspapers because they first lauded
his successes in England, then COM
Tnented on his failures, and pointed out
that the jockey had become afflicted
with ''swelled head" and was neglect
ing his form.
The midget Jockey received reporters
cOndescendingly in his stateroom. Sloan
went to England last fall and speedily
became a popular idol by his sxillful
riding. He had been over the year be-
fore and had ridden several winners.
English turfmen and newspapers prais-
ed the American jockey highly and for
two weeks his services were in great
demand Then he began to show poor
form and many faVOriteS he rode ran
unplaced. He abused reporters for COM
ing to him and finally abused the judges
of the SandOwne park track, where his
mount, the odds-on favorite, Myakka
ran a, dead heat.
In the weighing-in room he threatened
to leave England and accused the
jockeys of jealousy and the stewards
of Unfairness. After that he rode poorly
and lost many races. Sloan said today
that now he had no fault to find with
his treatment in England. Neverthe-
less, he asserted that at Sandowne park
he had landed two winners, but that
the judges had simply posted the num-
bers of other horses.
I'm going back in April" he said,
"and III ride only for Lord William and
the Prince of Wales
Lord William is Lord William Beres-
ford.
III never sign another contract in
America, and I'll not ride here again
until season after next he continued.
Sloan said he had fulfilled all his con-
tracts in England and had ridden forty
winners out of 100 mounts. He refused
to talk of his winnings. He said that
he hadn't figured them out yet"
OF his reported losses the Jockey said:
Its a ie.'
Sloan says his nerves are unstrung
and he intends to take a long rest. He

AUCTION OF A KISS Is OFF.
Husband Objects toMinnie sengman's
Offer for Sweet Charity.

ST. Louis, Nov. 22.-NTiss Minnie Sc
Hgman, leading lady in the stock COM
pany at the Imperial theater, will not
sell a kiss for sweet charity at the Jew
ish bazaar to be held in the Coliseum
this week, as she had offered and in
tended to do. Her husband, Robert
Cutting the well known New Yorker,
has baked the ambitious young Wo-
mans clever plan for raising a snug lit
tie sum for her coreligiOnistS.
The announcement that Miss Selig-
man would dispose of an Osculatory
chance at the bazaar was made last
Sunday Her husband was in New
York, hobnobbing with Teddy ROose-
welt, for whom he delivered speeches in
the campaign, but the news quickly
went to the metropolis and reached tins
ears of Cutting.
Mr.. Cutting did not like the idea In
fact, he very strongly opposed it. He
did not wait to write his pretty wife,
but he forthwith went to the telegraph
office and indicted quite a forbiddine
dispatch.
on the receipt of it the actress was
nonplussed. She was between two
fires. She had offered to sell the kiss,
and the attraction, if such it might have
been regarded, was advertised extern
sively by the press agent of the fair,
and Miss Seligman did not feel that she
could break faith.
The actress had been playing Car
men, the previous week, and her kisses
were the real things. She so declared
herself. and some good religious folks
were shocked at the warmth of her
osculatory play with Malcolm Will
Hams the Jose in Carmen" though the
girls were in love with its genuineness.
Miss Seligman gained some reputation
as a kisser, and when asked to donate
lust one hug for charity she readily
assented. She expected to realize $1,000

are turned away. If the sailor lad
would receive all his new made friends
who call daily he would not have room
enough to punch the bag.
COrbett put in a quiet day in his
training quarters in the LenOx club. The
ex-champion has practically finished all
his real hard work, such as continuous
sparring and wrestling, and has reduced
his schedule from four to one hours
work each day. The only indoor train
ing COrbet did yesterday was a few fast
rounds with his partners, McVey and
Early. He still keeps up his road
work, however, and every morning
takes a ten mile run and walk aloha
Riverside drive. Corbett is perfectly
satisfied with his present condition and
says he will take no chances with any
thing that viii interfere with him in his
contest. Among the visitors who
watched COrbett work was Al Smith.
1t was the first time Smith had seen
Corbett stripped since his fight at Car
son City. After COrbett had finished
his days work Smith said: Il was sur
prised to find Jim in such great shape.
His condition, for a man who has
trained so often as Corbett, is marvel
GUS. It appears to me that Corbett is
much bigger and stronger than I have
ever seen him before. His wind is per-
feet and his foot work is just as wOn-
derful as ever. He is easily in as good
if not better condition than when he
fought Fitzsimmons. Sharkey is
great fighter and a hard man to beat,
but think COrbett will beat him.

NEW TEMPLATE TRUST.
Indiana Man is Expected to Head the
$5OOoo,ooo Combine.

Anderson. Ind, Nov. Representative
of the proposed tin-plate trust have been
in Indiana this week inspecting and TAX
ing a. reappraisement of the several tin
plate mills in this state.
It has developed that Indiana is going
to be the principal factor in the organiza-
ton of the combine. for there are large
tin-plate plants in operation in this city
and a EIwood. NIidd1etown, Gas City and
Montpelier. In fact, the tin-plate center
of the world today is Madison county and
the largest plant in the world is located
at ElWoOd. The owners of the National
Tfn-plate mills in this city are also owners
of the big plant recently put in operation
at Monessen, Pa, and when the tin-plate
trust is perfected it is quite probable an
Indiana man will head the organization.
1t is stated on very reliable authority
that D. G. Reid, treasurer of the Ameri-
can Tin-Plate company at ElWood, will be
chosen president. Chicago will be the
headquarters of the trust.
It has been reported that the trust is
going to be allied with the American wire
and steel trust in the pools on steel. How
ever, the tin-plate combine promoters sa Y
it is to be Independent. The combine will
be capitalized in the neighborhood of $50
100000. The trust will lead off with Al
tin-plate plants in the combination. This
gigantic corporation will probably go to
the state of New Jersey to incorporate.

CORBETT AND SHARKEY.
Favors Jim But other Money
is Plenty

New York, Nov 2-Everything is
ready for the big heavyweight contest
between COrbett and Sharkey, which
will be decided tonight at the Leno4
Athletic club. Both boxers are in the
pink Of condition and, barring accidents,
will enter the ring on schedule time.
Tom O'Rourke states that Shs rkeY
Will enter the ring weighing ia pounds
and Charley White says that COrbett
will tip the beam at ISL pounds when he
enters the ring. Honest John Kelly,
the referee of the big mill, and with
whom the club posted the $40, 600 purse
some weeks ago, turned over the purse
money today to Frank Farrell, the turf
man, whom COrbett and Sharkey have Sc
lected as final stakeholder. Mr.. Far
reII deposited the money in the Garfield
National bank, and tonight Will present
the winner and loser with certified
checks of SIS, 900 and $4,000 respectively.
The out of town sports are beginning to
arrive. The betting is now 10 to in IA
vor of COrbett. Joe Vendig has made
the largest bet on the result up to date
which is s., 400 to IS, 900 that Sharkey will
win. Vendig states that this was a
commission which was placed in his
hands by a prominent horse owner.
The management of the LenOx Ath-
letic club announces that the sale or
tickets has been more than satisfact Glory.
The sailor went through his work Sat-
urday with the ease and grace or a dam
cling master Aside from his closely
drawn face the five weeks of hard work
seem to have had no i'll effect on the
man who some day hopes to be the
champion of the world. Sharkey took
a long run along the shore roads fol
about ten miles. After dinner Sharkey
went to quarters, did some clever bag
punching for about twenty minutes
and wound UP with brisk boxing with
his sparring partner, Bob Armstrong.
Sharkey's feinting and side stepping
were almost perfect. He landed on
Armstrong several times and got away
without a return. Those who saw Shar-
key work in the gymnasium were sur
prised at his Quickness on his feet As
the time for the bout draws near those
who have hopes in Sharkey's ability to
defeat the ex-champion journey to his
training quarters and get a line on their
favorite. Some of the favored ones
gain admission to see the rare exhibit
ton OF strength but a great majority

A GREAT REMEDY.
For Sufferers From piles.

DR.. Redmond, a specialist in the study
and treatment of piles and rectal dis
cases. recently stated that the Pyramid
Pile Cure, the new discovery for the cure
of piles, was the most remarkable rem
edy he had ever seen or tried in one
respect; and that was the instant re-
lief experienced in all cases, no matter
how severe, from the moment the rem
edy was applied. This was the more
surprising to him because he had care
fully analysed the preparation and no
trace of opium, cocaine or similar poi
son could be detected.
Physicians look with great favor up
on the Pyramid Pile Cure, because it is
rapidly taking place of surgical opera
tions and because it is so simple, so
easily applied and contains no mineral
or other poisons so commonly used in
cures.
DR.. Esterbrook reports that the Pyr-
amid Pile Cure not only cures the var
ious forms of piles, but never fails to
give immediate relief on the first appli-
cation, no matter how severe the pain
or discomfort may be.
People who have suffered from piles
for years are often astonished at the in
slant relief experienced from the first
application Another important advan-
tage is the fact that anyone can use the
remedy without detention from business
or interference with daily occupation.

CANNOT REMOVE POLICE.
Novel Discovery Is Made Affecting the
Racine Commission.

Racine, Wis, Nov. ga large num-
Der of city officials, attorneys, minis
ters and citizens assem- bled in the city
hall last night to hear the investigation
in the case of Humane Agent A. P. Dut-
ton against Chief of Police J. W. John
son before the board of fire and police
commissioners. It was charged that
Chief Johnson neglected to perform his
duties as an officer in arresting the in
mates of questionable resort and al
lowing the male inmates to go.
City Attorney Heck, who appeared for
the chief, held that under the fire and
police law the board of commissioners
had no jurisdiction to hear the case
Frank Miller. chairman of the commits
sion, and the other three mem bers
agreed with the city attorney that they
had no right to remove the chief even
if he were found guilty, but desired to
have it understood that the board had
no desire to whiteWash any officer.
The result of the investigation was
that the board recommended that the
whole matter be referred to the city
council, the board standing ready to
lend all assistance possible in determin-
ing whether the charge against the
chief is true.
The fact having developed that the
commissioners have no power to remove
officers may result in the resignation of
every member of the board.

Pleuro-Pneumonia in Kansas.

For the first time in the history of the
state, so far as there are any records,
pleuro-pneumonia has appeared among
Kansas cattle. The herd in which the
disease has made it's appearance be
longs to Nelson Love, who lives near
Moran in the southeastern part of the
state. Taylor Riddle, of the live stock
sanitary commission, is now there ex-
aiming the herd to. make sure of the
nature of the disease and to take steps
to prevent its spread. The cattle were
purchased by Mr.. Love in Kansas City
last August and several of them died
about that time. Several others have
died within the past week. The disease
has not been prevalent among the cat
tie Of the United States since 1882.
