Remedy for the Divorce Evil.

When society begins at the right
end of the problem, and compels
lawmakers and lawgivers to make
marriage much more serious con-
tract than it is now popularity be-
lieved to be; when boys and girls are
educated to the knowledge that the
assumption of the responsibilities OF
matrimonv is the most momentous
act in the life of man or woman en-
tering into that relationship; when
clergymen and magistrates have been
educated to realization of the i'm
portance of the ceremony which joins
two persons in partnership that has
to do with the welfare of men and
women vet unborn-when, in short,
society is aroused to an appreciation
of the full meaning of the matrimo-
NAL contract ill-conducted and GRIM
inal marriages will be less frequent,
and divorces less numerous.-Min-

The Negro and the North.
HE Is TREATED QUITE DIFFERENT.
LY THAN At THE SOUTH.
With WlncheSters and
Deliberately Shot Down When he
Goes to Reduce the Surplus of White
Labor-Recent Occurrences in the
North q Rebuke to the Carping
Critics Who are Eternally Harping
on Negro Outrages In the South.
Charlotte ObServer.)

Seven negroes who left their homes
in the South to earn living by
honest work in the mines at Car
terville, H., were shot down on the
streets of that town, Sunday week. 1t
appears from the reports that the
negroes, all being armed and feeling
themselves in the ma iority, started
the row, but that is a characteristic
of the negro with which the South
has long been acquainted. In the
depots and in railroad cars, the
negro, whenever he finds himself in
the ma ority, is apt 10 prove often
sive by overbearing conduct. The
Southern people are used to this sort
of thing and have borne it in pa
thence day b. day for years. They
know the negroes feeling in this re-
spect and they have quietly submit
ted to it.
The negro, however, makes a mis-
take when he tries it on the Northern
people, as experience has shown. He
has been welcomed in Pana with
Winchesters as a more expeditions
i'm plement of determination than the
rope, and at Carterville, he is shot
down in cold blood simply because
he tried to reduce the surplus of
white miners. This slaughter of ne
groes "took place." we are told, lin
front of Mayor Zimmerman's house,
and in full view of several ladies
seated on the porch" 1t must have
been a bigger show to the residents
Of this Illinois town than a bull fight.
But, seriously, the reception az
corded the few negroes who have
should prove lesson to the race in
the South. 1t is certainly a rebuke
TO that portion of the Northern press
that is eternally harping on negro
outrages in the Southern States. The
South swarms with negroes. The
North has had but few of them to
experiment upon, but SO far as it has
gone, it has done its business nobly.
The negro eXterminators of the
South have been put to shame by the
work in Illinois and Pennsylvania in
the past two years, and there is a
9Gd6efaa1ero 89dd6r eWnfi6 tsqe In thy SaHsse
population, the negro is often put to
death by mob law, but for one crime,
a crime that would not for 4 moment
be tolerated in any Northern CON-
munity; but let the negro invade a
Northern State in search of honest
labor, let him come into competition
with the white labor there. and he
falls before the Winchester. He is
not strung up for crime as assault, for
that crime could not be common in
the North until the negro should be
there in sufficient numbers to embolden
him to it's preparation, but he is shot
down for the simple crime of seeking
to make living by digging in the
coal mines This is the result of 4
few negroes going North in an ex-
perimental way. What would hap
pen to the colored race should any
considerable number of them move
North is easy to guess.

The clouds on mornings gate of gold
In tenderer lines of beauty wreathe;
All seem as if, together, they
Had made consent to weave a lay

Might lean to listen from the spheres
Where War his standard ne'er unfurled,
And rainbows evermore by bloodleSs

During the winter of 1897 Mr.. James
Reed, one of the leading citizens and mer-
chants of CLAY, Clay Co., W. Va, struck
his leg against cake of ice in such a man
ner as to bruise ii severely. 1t became
very much swollen and panied him so
badly that he could not walk without the
aid of crutches. He was treated by physl-
clans, ais used several kinds of liniment
and two and half gallons of whisky in
bathing it, but nothing gave any relief
until he began using Chamberlain's Pain
Balm. This brought almost complete
cure in weeks time and he believes that
had he not used this remedy his leg would
have had to be amputated. Pain BALM is un'

DEATH OF BENTON LETTER.
Insanity Due to Fast Living and Business
ReyerseS.

heVefSeS.
News was received in Butte yester-
day that 7. Benton Letter, formerly
resident of this city and we'll known
as the manager of the Letter mines in
Madison county, nephew of Levi T.
Letter. the Chicago millionaire. died
last Monday at Mount Hope retreat,
an asylum near Baltimore, where he
had been placed hopelessly insane. Mr.
Letter had previously and for some
time lived with relatives at Hagers
town, Md. practically under restraint
until his mind totally collapsed, when
he was removed to the asylum. Insan-
ity, it is believed, was due to the very
fast life he led and to business re.
verses.
There are many young men in Butte
who are very familiar with Letters
prodigality during his residence in this
state He was managing the mining
property for his millionaire uncle, but
when the latter heard of the gait the
young man was going he; called him
back to Chicago and placed him in
charge of some business interests
there. In a short time he became in
volved in some financial matters and
the discovery was then made that his
mind was giving way, and he was sent
East, and when he was taken to
Mount Hope he was hopeless physi-
cal and mental wreck.
1t is stated that several weeks ago,
although he was then absolutely non
compos mentis at the time. he was
served with a summons to answer a
suit in Chicago by Levi z. Letter and
w. B. Walker against him and the
State bank of Bloomfield Ill. Levi
Letter had Endorsed the note Of T. B,
Letter for 100000 made in favor of
Slas Cobb. Payment was secured by
the conveyance of certain property to
w. B. Walker as trustee. In default
of payment the indorser was required
to make good the amount, and the suit
was brought to enforce the sale of the
property held by the trustee.
Benton Letter was only 50 years of
age. A wife survives him. She was
formerly "Kittie'' Churchill of Butte,
well known to many young people in
the city She met Letter and went
with him to Leiterville to take charge
of the company's boarding house there.
Later it was reported that Letter ana
kittie Churchill We're married. Her
mother is a Mrs. Heffner, now living,
it is believed, in Denver After young
ment of the mines his wife accompan-
led him to Chicago but after he had
lost his fortune and his mind began
to fail she sought an engagement on
the stage for the purpose of support
ing herself and husband, and although
she had influential backing, an ener-
getic press agent and traded on her
rela tionship with the rich Letter fam
lily of Chicago and her husbands ia
NOUS cousin. the wife of the viceroy
of India, she did not make a success
Of her stage career. After appearing
several times ON the New York stage.
she retired and little has been heard
of her since, although it is understood
she is at present residing in that city.
