A PLEA FOR THE MOB.

ATLANTA, GA, April 23.-The Con
stitution viii say to morrow
1.-The terrible expiation which Sam Hose
was forced to pay for his crime will cause
a food of discussion, carried on by those
who know the facts on the one side, and
by those who do not care for facts on the
other
but, while the form of this criminal ;
punishment cannot be upheld, let those who
are disposed to criticise it look into the
facts-and BY these facts temper the judg
ment they may render.
San unassuming, industrious and hard
working farmer, after his days toll, SAT at
his evening meal Around him sat wife
and children, happy in the presence of the
man who was fulfilling to them every du-
ty imposed by nature. At peace with the
world, serving God and loyal to humanity,
they looked forward to the coming day
''Noiselessly the murderer, with uplifted
axe, advanced from the rear and sank il 10

victim
Tearing the child IRON the mother ;

''Then began the elimination which
has dethroned the reason of the people Of
Western Georgia during the past week.
As critics will howl about the lynching
the Constitution viii be pardoned for stat
ing the plain facts.

upon the floor, where her clothing lay in
the blood of her husband and assaulted. >

BURNED At THE STAKE.

A Negro Murderer Meets With a Horrible
Death-Terrible Tortures Inficted-His
Body Mutilated by the Frenzied Mob-Ex-
cited Crowd Searching for Colored
Preacher.
NEWMAN, GA, April 23.-In the
presence of nearly $500 people, Sam Hose,
a negro murderer, was burned at the stake
on the road one and one-half miles from
here today. Before the torch was applied
to the pyre the negro ears and fingers and
other portions of his body were cut from
him. He pleaded pitifully for his life
while the mutilation was in progress
One of the men who lifted the can OF
kerosene to the negro's head is said to be
native of Pennsylvania.
The mob was composed Of men from
Newman. Griffin, Palmetto and other hit
tie towns in the country round about New
man. and all of the farmers who had re
ceived word that the burning was to take
place.
W. Y. Atkinson, former Governor Of
Georgia, met the mob as he was returning
from church, and he appealed to them to
let law take its course In addressing the
mob he used these words :
s'Some of you are known to me, and
when this affair is finally settled in the
courts you may depend upon it that | will
testify against you.
The mob was frantic at delays. and
would hear to nothing but burning at the
stake.
Hose confessed to killing Crawford, but
denied that he had assaulted Mrs. Gran
ford. Before being put to death the negro
stated that he had been paid So by
sLige Strickland, a negro preacher at
Palmetto. TO kill Crawford. Tonight a
mob of men is securing the country for
Strickland, who has left his home, and
will lynch him if he is caught
Sam Hose killed Alfred Crawford a
white farmer, near Palmetto, and assaulted
his wife, ten days ago. Since that time
business ii that part of the State has been
suspended, the entire population turning
out in an effort to capture Hose. lie sue
cessfully eluded his pursuers until diseov-
cred near Macon.
Governor Gambler has been asked to
send troops here to preserve order for
day or two. as it is feared the negroes will
wreak vengeance, many threats to that
effect having been made.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

By local applications, as they cannot roach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness. and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in.
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachan tube. When this tube gets i,hamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the Inflammation can be taken
out and this tube restored to its normal condi-
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by catarrh, which is
nothing but an intlamed condition of the mucous
surfaces

NATIVE PHILIPPINE GIRLS.
They Have Graceful Figures and Are Ex-
perts at Riding and Swimming.

1uey have 1race1ui Figures ana Are EN-
perts at Riding and Swimming.
From the New Orleans Times-Demo-
crat.
The Philippine maiden is usually very
pretty, with a graceful, supple figure.
Her eyes are large and shaded by long,
dark lashes; her hair is black in color,
long and glossy. and it is her chief
pride. She gives it a great deal of care
and attention, frequently amounting it
with oil of the cocoanut, which proba-
bly, gives it the peculiar gloss The
young girl usually wears her hair
hanging loosely down her back, but the
older women build it up in a fanciful
knot, often adorned with flowers.
Next to her hair the Philippine girl
prdes herself on her feet. She is not,
like the poor Chinese women, forced
to have them of dimnutiVe proportions,
but she is just as careful OF them. She
wears no stockings, but incases the feet
in deliberately embroidered slippers
without heels
Very few of the women in these isl
ands are we'll educated. Some, hoWeV-
or, have been taught in the converts,
but their number is very small. The
Philippine girl is very fond of music
and is generally able to play both on
the harp and the guitar. The guitar
is very popular and might be called the
national instrument. For the purpose
of assisting them in playing the girls
allow the thumb nail of the right land
to grow very long.
These girls are athletically inclined
They ride and swim with great dexter
ity. They are also very fond of dane
ing. In Manila, which is a very cosmo-
poitan city, many Mestzos, who are
Creole girls of the Philippines. go into
the best society. One old time custom
now prevails in the Philippines that will
undoubtedly pass away with the be-
ginning of the new American life and
rule 1t is an old marriage custom,
and obliges the lover to serve in the
house of his intended brides father for
several months previous to the cere
mony The marriage feasts usually last
for several days. Then the bride, who
has often not seen more than Is sum-
mers, is led away to her husbands
home. a house made of bamboo, prob
ably built by his own hands.
