Of the services they rendered to their
own. They had liberties. They were
sent to the industrial schools and were
learned all sorts of trades An emil
nent lecturer in speaking Of the fu-
ture OF the niggers of this country re-
Gently, said that the niggers got more
out of slavery than the owners did.
THE niggers knew who the good
slave owners were and they would go

In speaking of the causes of the
Civil war he said that old doctrine Of
secession came up it had to be set
tied. Before that strife, as soon as
something went wrong in State, it
would say: Il win secede." So it was
in various States and so it continued
until they did secede. Let me tell you
that Abraham Lincoln was the grand
est President we ever had. He was q
prophet of God and He slew him."
In speaking of Harriet Beecher
Stoves Uncle Toms Cabin" he said
that we must acknowledge the truth
in that book, which portrays the evil
of slavery and which is so generally
thought to have been one of the causes
leading to that great civil strife. He
also pleasingly referred to the period
of civil strife when the North and
South were arrayed against each 9TH
er and the grand union of these two
parts Of the country to-day.

BOLD CAPTAIN MARKS.
Skipper Who Defies Two Nations
Tells His story.

Montreal, May ga reporter has sue
ceeded in doing what the police and off,
cials of two nations have failed to do !:
that is. board the famous Helvetia, at
Valley Field, and talk with the redouDtable
Captain Marks.
Marks for some time has successfully
defied the combined forces of Great Brit
ain and the United States. who have vainly
tried to wrest from him the possession of
the schooner. The latter was owned by
the Atlantic Transportation Company,
which failed. When the receiver tried to
get control of the Helvetia Captain Marks
said he would not give up the vessel until
the $500 due him was paid. Moreover. he
let it be known that anyone who attempted
to board the ship would be riddled with
shot. He issued a bread challenge TO the
whole of the Canadian police, and 1t has
not yet been taken up.
Moreover. the whole population of Valley
Field is with the captain. He has been
placed upon pedestal by the people OF
Valley Field. and they revere him as a
husband and father who is contending
against great odds for his just dues.
Captain Marks affirms that the whole
thing is an attempt of miilionaires to bluff
him out of his salary. He denies that he
is defying authority and insists that the
rebellion is on the other side.
II is the impression here that the cap
tain can be forced to surrender only after

say Harrison is controlled by the news

Everything indicates that the Filipino
army is badly disorganized. Every native
with a Mauser however, is capable of do
ing much harm. The end is yet long way
off. and must remain SO until the Tagalo
element is so badly whipped that the
dullest natives will no longer believe the
gigantic but ingenious lies by which their
leaders have held them in fear and hatred
of the Americans. The average Manila
native who thinks at al comedies the hops-

wonderful nation that lands one great ship

Really there are worse places to live

be confessed. however. that Malclos has

drew pair of shears from his coat pocket.
An instant later he fshed out big clasp

weapon in his right hand, and glared
fiercely around him.
Fifty pairs Of startled eyes were lifted,
and as he rose slowly fifty young men
stampeded for the door
The noise brought Secretary Peterson to
the scene. As he entered the room the
man uttered harsh yell and sprang upon
him with knife upraised. Peterson grap-
pied with his crazed assailant and a dozen
friends rushed to the rescue.

DEATH RECALLS A ROMANCE.
Alex c. Lnnier's Long Devotion to
His Successful Rival

indianapolis. May 29.-The death of Mrs.
Stella Lanier on Saturday ended a famous
Indiana romance. Her husband was Alex
ander C. Lanier, a brother of the junior
member of the financial firm of Wins
low & Lanier. of New York city He had
large financial interests in this State and
New York. and at his death was regarded
as one OF the wealthiest men in Indiana
Fifty-five years ago Stella Goldman was
the acknowledged belle of Indiana. She
lived at Madison, where her father was a
merchant When she was eighteen years
Of age Alexander C. Lanier and Samuel
Scoring, the former rich and the latter
poor but both about her age, were among
her suitors. Scoring was employed in
Laniers bank
Leaving Madison one day for trip to
New York. Lanier turned TO Scoring and
said: Sam, take care OF my girl while
am gone
Lanier was absent for several months.
and when he returned he found that Seer
ing had followed his injunctions to the
letter and was engaged to wed the girl
The rich young banker gave no evidence of
disappointment, and did not question the
right of his rival to the prize.
Scoring went to the war and came out
a colonel and an invalid. Lanier's nurse
was practically at his command, and every
comfort that money could furnish was his.
Lanier took him to various places for
treatment, among them Hot Springs, Ark
One night the house in which they were
stopping caught fire. and Lanier, without
thought OF personal danger. groped his way
to the room of the sick man through the
suffocating smoke and soon emerged,
bearing his friend upon his shoulder.
Though 1t was known that Lanier was
providing for the comfort of the invalid,
there was never a breath of rumor derog-
atory to the characters of any OF the par
ties of the strange domestic drama.
Nearly forty-five years had passed away
when death brought relief to the sufferer
and Mrs. Scoring became a widow. Lanier
quickly renewed his suit. and five months
after the colonel's death led the woman
to the altar
Lanier died five years ago. and Mrs.
Lanier came here to live with her daugh-
ter Today her body was laid by that of
her lover in girlhood, her friend and pro-
tector in womanhood. and her husband in
old age.
