FIRED BETWEEN ACTS.
A Dry Chap Has His Engagement

It did not take place in the city Of
Washington. because no man in WASH
ington leaves u lady alone while he
goes out between the acts at Il thcater-
unless Il be his wife, and, of course. that
doesn't count. But it did occur. ard the
site of its occurrence is not west of the
A!!eghenies, where. according to some
eastern thinkers, all the peculiar occur
rences occur.
The man in the case was perhaps 30,
the girl 22. and the theater was one in
which the melodrama has its home.
The girl was pretty and there was that
kind of jaw hedging the lower part
OF her rosy cheeks that ought to have

went down on the first act there was
slight scrap between the couple,
which ended i'll the young nan not GO

acts. because the wait was short and he
/ hadn't time to argue. The girls cheeks
were redder than before when he cur
tain went up and the set of her jaw
was firmer.
AT the next fall of the curtain there
was slight scrap again, which ended
this time in the young man dragging
himself ever four people and leaving
II girl to sit alone until he was ready
10 come back to her. Two minutes later
the girl dragged herself after him. over
the same four people, but she stopped
in the aisle long enough 10 say some
thing to the big man with the two
daughters. Then she disappeared. It
was long wait and just as the curtain
started up the young man hurried
down the aisle. and was about to drag
himself over the four people when the
big man called his attention to the va
cancy which had occurred during his
absence. The young mans jaw
dropped, and he actually grew red in
the face. The big man handed him
n ring with bright little diamond
glisterirg in it..
"She gave me that and told me to give
it to you," he said, with menace in
his tone, as lie looked over at his own
girls, "aId she said if yCu ever came

THE COAST OF BLOOD AND GOLD.

! ity it is estimated that over $4,000 hui
man beings have been put to death be-
meath the banyan trees that sway and
whisper over this open air temple of
death Every 10 days it was customary
for the kings of Ashanti to visit this
mausoleum for the purpose Of paying
their respects to the shades of their de-
parted ancestors, but during the last
expedition Of the English forces to this
part of the Gold Coast the temple and
the mausoleum We're demolished and
nothing now remains but the stately
trees to commemorate its grewsome
history.
Although much has been done by the
white man to improve and ciViliZe the
native Of the Gold Coast, the condition
of most of these African villages, with
the exception of two or three coast
towns, is as primitive and heather as it
was five centuries ago. Land is held in
common among the natives, and. al
though individuals exist with the title
Of chiefs, their authority and power are
very shadowy, and every man is prac-
ticalIy his own master. They are lazy

barbaric toilet. They are especially
fond CT bathing and romping in the wa
ter. and il is very common sight to
see dozen OF them, quite destitute Of
al! clothing, splashing and diving about
in one of the numerous streams OF the
Gold Coast country. Their skin is
glossy bronze color. though their fea-
lures are invariably heavy and unat-
tractive. They are also fond of fishing
and, strange to say, have adopted the
white mans style OF angling for the fin

west African colony has been more
or less in touch with civilization for five
centuries and has been the scene of sew
eral historic events, it is still a terra in

people.
1t is in the Gold Coast that the noto-
rious fetch temple and grove of the
Ashanti kings are situated. The fetch
grove is just about a mile outside Of
Kumassi. This place of a thousand hor-
rors is made up of large and stately
banyan trees and up to the time of the
last British expedition was Enclosed in
high palisades. Inside these palisades
were the sepulcher Of the Ashanti kings
and a collection of the state ornaments

stool, or throne.
But what has always made the place
grewsome in the eyes of the white man
is a certain large brass bowl which

the natives that this bowl must be kept

Plattsburg. N. Y, Aug. 1o.-Presi-
dent Mckinley left his hotel yesterday
morning and was driven down to the
auditorium on the grounds Of the Cath
Ollie summer school of America, ut Cliff
haven, on Lake Champlain. The road
rom the hotel to the summer school
grounds was lined with people anxious
70 get glimpse of the president. As
the president entered the auditorium,
the spectators arose and sang a song
composed for the occasion. Rev. Nj.
j. Lavelle, president Of the Catholic
summer school, introduced Presi-
dent Mckinley. As President McKin-
ley arose the audience applauded,
eheered, waved flags, handkerchiefs
and parasols until he made motion
for them to desist. He had not in
tended to speak. But the warmth OF
the greeting which was accorded him
evidently caused him to change his
mind. He said.
Whatever the government Of the United
States has been able TO accomplish since last
met you here has been because the hearts OF the
people have been with the government OF the
United States. Our patriotism Is neither Sec
tional nor sectarian. We may differ In Our
political and religious beliefs but we are united

WILL BE A NEGRO TOWN.
Hudson City, Ala. with 400 People, All
Africans, VIII Have Only Black
Officers TO Hun IL.

Admission. Ala, Aug. 16.-By a vote
of 90 per cent. of the registered voters,
Hudson City decided yesterday to be
the most unique city in the United
States, in that 1t will be the only ex-
clusively negro town in the country.
Yesterdays election was by order Of
the probate court to decide whether or
not the town should be incorporated.
Incorporation was carried unanimous
ly, not single vote being cast against
it. The town is located three miles
from Admission and has 400 population,
all negroes, and contains 100 houses,
three churches, a schoolhouse, several
stores and no saloon. At yesterdays
election the entire town turned out,
males TO vote, females to see that they
voted right and not a drop Of whisky
or the least disorder was in evidence.
Following the incorporation will be
the most unique experiment in town
government ever made in Alabama.
Within five days the municipal election
will be ordered aud the negroes will
select city officials, every one Of whom
will be colored.

Washington, Aug. 8.-The problem
Of transportation in the Philippines
has been under consideration by the
war department for some time. 1t 10
expected that ut the end Of the rainy
season 1t will be necessary to move the
troops some distance from the railroad
and at the present time the means OF
transportation are not sufficient for Q
large army and extensive operations.
The difficulty has been met by send
ing mules to Manila in large num-
bers. The quartermaster's depart
ment has already shipped about 900
Of these animals and will send 900
more very soon. There are nearly 1000
more owned by the department, which
will be sent II needed. These animals
will not only be used for transporting
supplies in wagons, but 1t is intended
to organize a pack train for carrying
guns and equipments where teams can.
not be utilized. The indications are
that the campaign after the rainy sea-

fined most of his operations, but that

Reports from Ncgros and Cebu Indicate
That the Rebellion There Is Assuming
Serious Proportions.

Manila, Aug. 12, via Hong Kong,
Aug. 16.-Arrivals and mail advices
from Negros and Cebu agree that the
instruction is gaining strength re-
markably in both those islands, which
had hitherto been counted as the most
friendly in the archipelago, and which
received with the greatest cordial
ity Prof. Schurman, president OF the
United States advisory commission
for the Philippines. ut the time OF
his memorable tour. Outbreaks are
feared, particularly in Ccbu, where
some Of the leading men have gone
over to the instruction. Many OF
the wealthy inhabitants are preparing
to leave the island. The results of the
autonomist government in Negros arc
disappointing. Insurgent bands are
operating there, as they did in Cuba,
destroying much plantation property,
claims for which are being presented
to Gen. Otis. Officers of the United
States gunboat Wheeling, which has
returned here from cruise along the
northern coast Of Luzon, report that
the insurgent forces occupy every viii
