NEGRO SOLDIERS
RESUME RIOT|NG
Two Have Been Slain
and Many Wounded.
GRAVE FEARS ENTERTAINED
ENCOUNTER MAY OCCUR Be
TWEEN THE RACES.
GRAVE FEARS ENTERTAINED
Whites of Admission, Ala, Incensed
and the Disturbing Element Is
Being Arrested as Fast
as Possible.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ADMISSION, Ala, Nov. 25.-Rioting
between white and negro soldiers be-
gan yesterday, and was kept up at in
tervals until the present time-1 a. m.
So far two negro soldiers have been
killed, five white ones wounded, two
desperately, and number of negro
soldiers are known to be wounded, but
have been hidden by friends.
The provost guard is unable to check
the rioting. A battalion from each
regiment is now under arms, and the
city is covered by a close picket line,
surrounding the entire negro camp.
The most serious riot occurred on
Fifteenth street, tough part of the
city, where the provost guard detail
was attacked by several hundred negro
soldiers The guard was not supplied
with cartridges until after several en-
gagements The armory of the Wood
stock guards was broken into by citi-
zens and 1000 rounds of cartridges and
fifty guns were given the white SOL
diers.
Rioting is still in progress, and the
erayest fears are entertained that an
encounter will take place between the
negro regiment and the whites. Feel
ing is running high, and the white SOL
dfers are terribly incensed and may kill
many negroes before morning.
An ambulance has just come to the
provost camp, bringing one dead and
one dying negro. Saloons have been
closed by order Of General Frank, and
will remain closed until the trouble
ends.
Every negro found tonight is being
arrested and locked up on the general
charge of rioting, If no more specific
charge is filed. Nearly every one of
them is armed, and they are sullen and
vicious Not less than 1000 soldiers are
now on guard, and officers are making

Services at Bush-street synagogue

Rabbi Meyer preached yesterday at the
Thanksgiving services held in the Bush
street Synagogue. He chose for his text
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. -
In part he said:
The spirit Of ancient Israel has evidently en-
tered the hearts of the people OF America To-
day millions of our fellow citizens are offer
ing thanks to the great Benefactor for mani
fold blessings showered down on this earthly
paradise. All animate nature forms one chorus
of praise in thanking the Creator of all How
much more should man, the high priest feel
thankful to God for his mental and spiritual
powers and for his capacity to love even as
God himself.
The Jews in this country should feel CRATE
full for enjoying civil and religious liberty and
for dwelling in land where all men are recoe>
niZed more and more, to brothers to children
of the same heavenly Father.

HIDES IN SUMMER.
If You Take Care of Them as Here
Advised You VIII Save Great
Deal of Trouble.

To cure a hide properly, it is first
necessary to trim off all that does not
belong TO it, such as horns, tail-bones,
sinews and meat; then spread the hide
out leaving no wrinkles in it and being
careful to get legs and heads spread SO
that salt can be sprinkled on them,
says the Nebraska Farmer. Then
sprinkle salt evenly and freely on every
part Of the hide, putting on about three
gallons of salt on a large hide, and
smaller ones in proportions: and never
spread hides in the sun.
Hides taken care of in this manner,
after lying three or four days in salt,
can be shipped almost any distance and
in any kind of weather, and GO through
In good condition and with very little.
if any, shrinkage.
For shipping always tie your hides
one in bundle, as they often become
loose in transportation, and when more
than one hide is tied in a bundle, the
railroads deliver the proper number OF
bundles, but not always the proper
number of hides. Always write the
person to whom you ship, notifying
him the date you shipped, giving
weights and number and stating
whether horse or beef hides. All Of
this will be very little trouble and will
save great deal of trouble and posi-.

the notes are sounded. 1t took him two
years to teach thu dog the simplest tune
so that he could trust his pupil before
an audience. But the reward was great.
Blacks first appearance was made in
Paris and the hit was instantaneous.
Prof. Fills taught Black to play the
few airs in his repertoire by the most
persistent practice. No aspiring
musician ever spent longer hours or
more labor over a piano than did Black.
He had one advantage in that he never
had to do scales or practice lingering
o. pedaling. The professor guided a
paw to one key enough times to teach
the dog its location, then upon another
and another, going back to the begin
ming and repeating an infinite number
of times until the whole mechanical
process of that particular tune was i'm
pressed on the dogs brain. But even
after all this practice Black cannot be
trusted to play ar air before an audi
ence without a rehearsal beforehand.
If Prof. Fills should rehearse him on
The Last Rose of Summer" only and
the audience should demand an encore
master and pupil would be in a guam
Diary, for, large as Blacks repertoire is,
he couldn't strike note correctly in
any air except the one he had rehearsed
and just played.
The piano Black plays on isn't really
piano. 1t is system of electric
chime bells, containing enough notes
to play any ordinary tune. When
Black presses key with his paw he
really presses button, causing a bell
to ring. But the tune can readily be
recognized, and with the accompani-
ment of the orchestra flows prettily-

The Feet of the Colt.

Neither the bones of the colts leg
nor the muscles and hoof of his foot
have acquired sufficient frmness to en-
able it to be put on stable floors of
either wood, stone or cement. II for
any reason the colt cannot run with its
dam while she is at work. let j: have a
yard by itself with turf flooring rath-
er than put him in floored stable. 1t
is while the colt is young that the fu-
ture character of its feet is being de-
cided. Even in winter colts should be
kept rather in box stalls, where ped
ding of their own excrement troddeu
hard will be better cushion for their
feet than the most carefully cleaned
floor stable could be.-American Gull

Sheep for Clearing Land,

Wherever woodland is cleared a
flock of sheep is extremely valuable to
keep the cleared soil from being over.
grown with the bushes, weeds and
shrubs which usually come up in fol.
lowing years. 1t is desirable to get the
cleared land in grass as soon as posi-.
BILE. When it is once seeded down it
may be pastured with sheep all through
the summer, not only without injuring
the grass, but positively benefiting it.,
as the sheep will devote most of their
time to trimming down the bushes and
eating the leaves which shade the land.
To make more thorough destruction Of
the shrubbery, an excess of sheep
should be put in the cleared lot, and
these must be fed some grain, SO as to
make their browse diet digest better

Bear Chewed Spruce Gum.

There is a man in Maine who has dis
covered that bears eat spruce gum, and
he thinks he knows why they do it.
One day this man was hunting for
spruce gum in the mountains, and he
had filled one basket and was working
on another, when he heard a growl be-
hind him. He looked, and saw a black
bear eating the spruce gum in the first
basket. He hurled stone at the, ami
NAL and it ran away, but not before it
had eaten all the gum. This was in the
fall, and the man says bears always eat
gum, "to keep their stomachs from
growing together while they take their
three months nap"

~ inches long to secure the cross

secure when a man climbs on to the
load. The stakes at the back end are
fastened with one bolt so that they
may be turned down after the wagon

The materials for rack of this kind,
not including the iron bows, cost at re-
tail in the ordinary country shop about
$3.50. Old wagon tires are found on
nearly every farm or can be purchased
for 25 to so cents. A good handsaw, a
brace with several sizes of bits, a
Ratchet, a chisel and a square are all
the tools necessary, and these should
be on every farm. A blacksmith will
make the tires into bows for a
trife, or farmer may do
this himself if he has an iron

hay frame can thus be made at home

dollars, and If kept painted and under
shelter when unused it will last many
years.-Farm and Home.

THE BOY THE HARVEST FIELD.

Out in the fields in the midsummer heat
The reapers were busy binding the wheat,
And the farmer looked with an anxious eye
At the 'thundercaps" in the western sky.
"All hands must work with will" said he;
There's storm a-brewing up there, l
see."
Then the bright-faced boy at his fathers
side
To help bind the sheaves most patiently
tried;
But he could not manage the work at ALL
For those willing hands were too weak and
small;
''I can't do this" said the brave little man,
80 I'll give it up and do what l can"
The men were thirsty and far from the
spring;
''It will give them lift," thought he, ito
bring
A pail of that clear, cold water, that flows
Down the mountain-side where the sweet
fern grows"
And soon he was dipping his little cup
In the messy place where it dubbed up.
And the joy of doing something he could
Shone in his face as he came through the
wood.
God bless the boy!' every man cried out,
AS he passed the pure cold water about;
Twas sustaining power-they bound the
grain
Just in time to save 1t from a drenching
rain.
Then the father said that night, with a
smile,
While the mother listened with pride the
while:
my boy, you helped harvest the field of
wheat,
Bringing water when we were parched
with heat.
Remember through life, my dear little man,
God only bids us to do what we can"
Susan Teall Perry, in N. Y. Evangelist.
