FIRES A MYSTERY.
Chicago Planning Mill Owners
Suffer at Hands of In
cendiaries.

Chicago, Sept. 3.-Mysterious fires
which recently have wiped out several
large planning mills in Chicago have
thoroughly alarmed the sash, door, and
blind manufacturers of the city There
are a large number of these establish
ments in Chicago, and their proprietors,
almost without exception, have redoub-
led the guards about them, hoping that
the factories may escape being destroy
ed by fire.
Within a month there have been five
fires in Chicago planning mills. In three
cases the plants were destroyed, in a
fourth one building was badly burned,
and in another a costly fire was mar
rowly averted by the night watchman's
timely discovery of an incendiary with
can full of oil attempting to set fire
to the premises. One manufacturer has
built a trOcha around his plant to keep
out incendiaries. The mills which have
had mysterious fires are:
Geiger & Heinlein, West Seventy-first
and Wallace streets, plant destroyed on

PIES FOR THE JACKIES.
Jersey Baker Furnishes Seven Varie
ties of Dyspepsia's Aids.

New York, Sept. 3.-Having escaped
without harm from the guns of the
Spaniards, the climate of Cuba, and the
bareback of a paternal government,
the navy of the United States has yet
another risk to run-the peril of indi-
gestion.
Stirred to the heart by the tales of
the hardships endured by the men be-
hind the guns, Charles Killing, a Jersey
City baker, determined to give the
jackies a treat. Placing himself in
communication with the admiral, Mr..
King said that he would like to make
the jackies a present of English pies.
to enable each man to have one for
himself.
''An right" said the commissary, as
he made swift computation. 1T will
take at least 5000 pies
This was a little staggering, but Mr.
Killing said he would not withdraw his Of
fer and at once set his bakers to work on
the pies. By extra work $500 pies were
finished yesterday and were sent to the
Brooklyn navy yard. to be distributed
among the crews of the warships New
York, Oregon and Iowa. Mr.. King ex-
poets to be able to unload the rest of the
morning. The Brooklyn, Massachusetts,
Indiana and Texas are there.
There are to be seven varieties of pies
peach, apple, lemon. huckleberry, nince
pineapple and Washington. The latter
acquired its name from the fact that its
original ancestor utterly extinguished the
first EngliShman who tasted it.

negroes in cotton mills, backed princi-
pally by some northern capitalists, who
were stockholders in few mills down
here. Three or four mills in South Car
DINA undertook the experiment. After
a year or two of trial it is pretty gen.
orally acknowledged that the negro
will not do, and the collapse of the con-
Germ here was not needed to demon
strate this. Another mill in this state
tried negroes in the same way and
failed to get any good results. The
chief trouble with the negroes is. their
insta bility and general shiftlessness-
traits of character which southern en-
ployers generally understand; and as
cotton mills not only require long hours,
but combining work, they are not suited
to the freedom-loving darkey, who
wants a large proportion of his time to
himself. Besides, they are rough work
men as rule, not suited to handle del
icate or intricate machinery. The queS-
ton of employing negroes in cotton
mills, so much agitated a year or two
ago, has now almost entirely disappear

NEGROES IN COTTON MILLS.
Southern Operators Compelled to EN-
ploy White Men in Their Places.

Columbia, S. G., Sept. 3-The few
southern manufacturers who had faith
in the negro as a successful cotton mill
operative have just suffered a serious
disappointment The ElmWOod cotton
mills of this city, which began business
a year ago with a great flourish of
trumpets about the possibilities of
money making through the employment
of the surplus cheap negro labor, has
failed-Or, rather, collapsed utterly.
Judgments aggregating $4,000 have
been secured against the company, with
much more owing, after the plant has
been seized and the concern closed
down. J. H. Lane & Co., New York, who
acted as industrial promoters of the
company and lent it $1,000 in cash, is

who sold the company the building in

paid purchase money.
The Messrs. Monteith began the mill,
with the announcement in the local pa
pers that none but colored labor would
be employed, and that preference would
be given those who bought stock in the
mill. About $4,000 is said to have been
raised in this way, though the Monteiths
decline to say just how much. The mill
has never sold a dollars worth Of its
product on the market, it appears, the

to teach the green negro mill hands the

long enough in the company's employ
to learn anything.

FORAKER IS SUSPICIOUS
Ohio Senator Will Visit Cuba to
Fight the "Gang' at
Washington.

Cincinnati, Sept. 3.-With a view of
satisfying himself of the ability of the
Cubans to govern themselves United
States Senator Joseph Benson Foraker
intends to visit Cuba and Porto Rico.
IF it is necessary for me to go into
the INTERIOR said Senator Foraker, Il
will take to the saddle and do So"
The senator's announcement is taken
here to signify that he intends to con-
tinue his espousal of the cause of Cuban
liberty.
1.-The Cubans by nature are a tract
able, lberty-loving, honest people, be-
heve,' the senator added.
II tell you that there are more Span
iards in Washington than you think.
This haranguing about the Cubans'
inability to govern themselves is an at
tempt to assassinate them, to stab them
in the back. There is a gang in Wash
ington that is doing it. It is the same
Spanish gang that sent Thomas Daw-
ley with Shafter to Santiago as official
interpreter to mislead the newspaper
men.

I've had confabs with Alger before and
I expect to have them again.

REUNION OF SMITHS.
Three Thousand People Assemble on
Sacred Ground and Celebrate.

New York, Sept. S.-The Smith family
of New Jersey held its annual picnic
today in PIainfield. Nearly 5000 Smiths
assembled on the ground sacred to gen.
eratiOns of Smiths. 1t has been in the
Smith family since the time of King
Georges rule.
One of the first arrivals was Isaiah
Smith, president of the association, and
patriarch and caretaker of the morals
of the tribe. Isaiah claims to be lin
cal descendant of the celebrated John
of colonial times.
The older folks gathered in groups
to renew acquaintance and indulge in
"reminiscences. The Smith boys and
girls divided into couples, and played
games. The Smith babies just rolled
around on the green grass and cooed
to themselves. 1t was a happy lot Of
Smiths.
After the dinner hour there were ex-
ercises appropriate to the occasion. The
Smiths gathered under the trees, while
an old Dutch banner, which is always
swung to the breeze on the occasion of
the Smith picnic, was an evidence of
how the first Smiths came to this coun-
try. Isaiah Smith presided over the
exercises.

The Treasury Department Will
Undertake
To Pick Out the Good From
the Bad.

Washington, Sept. st is announced
at the treasury department that there
will be no prosecutions as the outcome
of the recent Investigations of the man
ner in which several thousand bonds
were subscribed for in New York city.
Secretary Gage had conferences with
some of those involved in the scheme
for securing the subscriptions at whole
sale. AS a result, in all cases where
bonds were subscribed for in an i'm
proper way, the bonds will not be issued
but an arrangement was effected by
which bona fide bids forwarded by
bank or other means would be accepted.
This course was decided upon in order
that those not guilty of improper con-
duct should not suffer on account of
the bids obtained in other ways but
forwarded through the same channel.

hearts of those brave men are filed
with gratitude to the people for the
bounteous generosity which has been
extended to them.
There is no doubt that there have
been individual cases of suffering and
possibly neglect among the soldiers, not
only in Cuba, but since their arrival at
this place. Nearly 10000 men were
brought from yellow fever district to
the United States. 1t would have been
criminal to have landed them and al
lowed them to go prOmiscuously among
the people. It has been stated by
physicians that if it had been done vel
low fever would have spread through
many of our states.
To avoid such a catastrophe, a, point
which is more thoroughly isolated from
the people than any other locality which
could be found, was selected. By these
wise means the country has been saved
from a scourge of this fearful disease.
