 HartSelle.

Hartselle, August 24-(speciaD.-A man named Collins, of Xenia, O., has been four miles southeast of this place for the last two weeks conducting a holiness and sancti- fled meeting under tents and arbors.
 For several years a small band of these people have been coming here and holding their services at this country church. The better class of people have looked upon them as imposters. A great many say that they are Mormons.
 This year Collins, the leader, accompanied by two associate leaders, Boueles and Lun- dy. with about thirty white men and wo- men, and forty or fifty negroes, mostly wo- men, have been teaching local negroes that they were as good as the whites. The white men of this community decided that of this place went out there yesterday aft ernoon and told the teachers that they had better leave. At first they refused, saying that they moved as the Lord directed After @ long conference they agreed to leave but in a sermon last night the leader said that the Lord had told him that they would not be molested, so the meeting went on.
 In less than five minutes five hundred shots were fired as warning. Negroes went from under the tents in all directions and the white leaders were not much less afraid. They at once agreed to leave. The tents were all taken down and rolled for shipping last night

Rival Claims in Africa.

There are four different grounds on
which European nations base their
claims to territory in Africa. One is
actual occupation; another is a treaty
with native chief. conceding terri
tory; a third is the claim that the occu-
patton of the mouth of a river gives a
right to the country which ii waters; n
fourth is the "himerland" theory, by
which is meant that nation which oc-
cupies a strip of territory on the coast
has right TO the country lying behind
it, OF these grounds Of claim, the first
is least likely to be contested; but as
to the others. the same chief may give
concessions to two or three rival ma
tions; or the territory which is claimed
by one because it is watered by a river
the mouth of which ii controls may be
claimed by another because it is in the
"hinterland" of territory which it pos
sesses on the coast.-I outh's Compan-

idle day to every laborer and mechanic
employed on outdoor work, such as
eXcavators, quarrymen, railroad build
ers, stone masons, bricklayers, car
penters, painters, furniture movers,
long-shoremen, etc. What they do not
earn they cannot spend.
There is no way for this class of
bread-winners to regain the day once
lost They are men who deal with
their grocers, butchers and others on n
cash basis. If man works steadily all
the week he is enabled to buy certain
amount of the neccssaries and luxuries
of life. If he works but three days he
must get along with just half of what
he would otherwise have purchased.
The storekeeper's business falls off just
that much. 1t will be readily seen,
then, that a rainy day in New York
city means a loss of the working popu-
lation of hundreds of thousands of dol
lars in wages, and this loss in turn falls
upon retail tradesmen. A rainy season
means distress and deprivation to the
toilers."

Without elephants, jungles would be
virtually impossible. The great beasts
are a ETiNture Of strength and weak
resa, cf craft and simplicity. The paths
through the jungle from village To VII
lage are merely tracks from which the
intcrlacing foliage has been cut and
thrust aside, and the virgin soil troi
den into n black mud. After a rain,
this mud is many feet deep, and no liv-
ing creature except an elephant, buf-
falo or rhinoccroS can labor through it,.
The elephant makes his way by lifting
one foot at time, and inserting il deep
into the slough in front, Withdrawing
another with sound like the popping
of a huge champagne cork. Nothing
but IA ride on an earthquake could be
compared with the sensation of being
run away with by an elephant. As for
stopping him, some one has well said
that you might as well try to stop a
runaway locomotive by pulling with
your walking-stick on the funnel as
seek to check an elephant at such a
moment with n goad.-
