OUR QUARREL WITH THE BonRs.
A Colored American Citizen Cruelty
Assaulrod by Police.

Assaulted by Police.
London, Aug. THE Johannesburg
correspondent Of The Daily Mail says:
A colored American citizen, O black
smith, was mistaken for a kafllr out
SIDE the exchange and was cruelty mall
treated by the police, among whom
was field cornet, for his inability
to produce a pass. The United States
consul has taken up the matter.
The negro was leading horses from
his forge on Friday morning, when
three mounted policemen appeared and
demanded that he show his pass They
used abusive language.
The negro produced n paper proving
him to be an American citizen, and
protested against the abusive Ian
guage. Thereupon the policemen dis
mounted, knocked him down and
kicked him in the back with their
spurs.
During the afternoon DR.. Matthews
to whom the American consul had sent
the negro for medical treatment, ex-
hibited nine spur wounds to the crowd
that gathered outside the exchange. A
dramatic scene ensued. Dr. Matthews
harangued the people, appealing for
justice and accusing Field Cornet LON
bard with being concerned.
A warrant has been issued for the
arrest of the policemen. Lombard has
submitted an affidavit denying that he
was involved in the assault.

CONSUMPTION Cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St., Indianapo-
lis. Ind, was at deaths door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle

A REAL estate deal which is com
manding considerable attention in
the Hazleton section is the purchase
of vast tracts of farm lands in
Quakake Valley by the Cross Greek
Coal Co. The farms of William Ger
hart, Albert Bitnera and Thomas Jones
have been purchased for the sum of
$25, 500 and negotiations are pending
for the lands owned by George Crogle
and John Dinion. Officials of the
company refuse to announce the in
tentions Of the directors, but experts
believe coal has been discovered,
since the land lies in the valley on
the opposite side of the mountain
from the Beaver Meadow collieries,
which are among the most productive
in the Lehigh Valley.

AN IMPORTANT DEC s,ol



supply OF War Materials.
Washington, Aug 7.-Hon. John
Goodnow consul general of the Uni
ted States at Shanghai, has rendered
a decision rs referee in the consular
court which viii. be Of far reaching
Importance during the continuance OF
the war In the Philippines. The case
was in relation to the steamer Abbey,
charged with taking arms from Can
ton to Luzon. The owner Of the vessel
gave n bond that the shin should land
the arms purchased at Singapore, but
he did not do so. The bond was de-
manded by the Chinese customs au-
thorities. Mr.. Goodnow holds that It
must be paid.
The effect of the decision Of Mr..
Goodnow reaches much beyond the
mere fact of being Judgment for the
plaintiff, with the penalty of the bond
and the costs of the suit. Hitherto the
American forces at Manila have had to
fight against Filipinos well armed with
modern rifles and guns, and it is no
secret that the majority of these arms
have been landed in the Philippines
from Chinese ports. When United
States consular officials have received
information that cargoes Of weapons
were about to be shipped from China
their urgent protests to the Chinese
authorities have been the means of
stopping shipments But when the
United States officials, through want
of knowledge, have been ignorant Of
such contraband runs the Chinese Of
ficials have likewise been blind to
these shipments, though no doubt well
aware of such. Imperial maritime
customs officials must now necessarily
do all in their power to stop shipments
of arms to suspicious destinations, and
this will be the means of checking the
chief source of supply of arms and war
like material that the Filipinos have
possessed.

A BLACK CUBAN REPUBLIC.

This Would Be the Result of Gem
EAiN eral.FranchIse.
Havana, Aug. IA leading Havana
merchant, a Cuban having business
connections with most of the cities of
the island and who claims to be we'll
posted regarding Cuban affairs, said
yesterday that universal suffrage in
Cuba would mean black republic in
the near future and that the only
means of preventing 1t will be the in
corporation of the island as a posses
sion of the United States, as state,
territory or colony, leading to Ameri-
can immigration, inter-marriages, the
enrichment of insular blood and the
improvement of the population. In his
judgment Cuba is otherwise doomed to
become another Hayti.
His assertions are based upon the
fact that in a population not exceeding
1,250,000, with a voting capacity of
100000, the Spaniards number only
$4,000, the white Cubans 125,000, those
claiming to be white $4,000, while the
blacks number 100000 in voting
strength His theory is that more
than half the Spaniards, under sys-
tenn of universal suffrage, would not
vote, and that the number who would
vote must inevitably diminish each
year. The Cubans, who will no longer
have the fresh blood of Spanish immi-
grants to draw upon, will gradually
grow fewer, while on the other hand
the blacks, who thrive in this climate
and are big, strong and healthy, will
increase at a rapid rate. The result
will be, he believes, that in so years
there will be more than 100000 ne
groes in the island and less than $780,
600 others. Even in the first cleo
tion," he declares, "the blacks could
carry everything their own way If
they knew their strength"

THE newspaper is your true and
steadfast friend, despite all abuse and
criticism. 1t helps to build up the
community in which you live, have
your being and enjoy your prosperity,
If the day should ever come to any
people, when the newspapers are
dead, they will be left on the edge of
the grave, with nobody to write their
obituaries, extol their virtues, or
prepare their epitaphs. Therefore,
be kind and generous to your home

In consumption beware Of cough mix
lures and Prescriptions that contain
opium. Opium paralizes the nerves,
and gives the comma bacillus a good
chance to destroy the lungs. 1t is
always fatal. Brazilian Balm does not
contain a trace of any opiate, but stimu-
lates the nerves with new life and power,
destroys the microbe, and restores all

MURDER IN WASHINGTON
Thirteen Year-Old Girl Killed by an
Aged Admirer.

Aged Admirer.
Washington, Aug. IA horrible
murder was committed yesterday in
the northeastern section of the city.
The murderer was BENJAMIN H. Smell,
a special examiner in the pension Of
flee, a man about As years of age. His
victim was Liza Weissenberger, a girl
13 years of age, who had been em-
ployed in his household until a few
months ago, when she was taken home
by her parents, who became suspicious
of Snell's conduct of her. Smell SEEM
ed to be infatuated with the child, and
paid her a great t0al of attention.
which, however, she resented. Yester-
day morning Smell went to his victims
house, and entering at the front door
passed on through the middle room,
where the girl was sleeping, to the
dining room door. While standing at
the door the mother ordered him out
of the house. Smell started to go, pass
ing again through the room where the
child was. He bent over the sleeping
child and drew her from the bed.
Awakened suddenly, she screamed in
terror. Twisting one hand in the
girls hair and throwing back her head
Smell drew a razor from his pocket
and drew it across her throat Twice
he slashed her throat and once he
missed, cutting a great piece of flesh
from her neck. The head was almost
severed from the body, and both the
murderer and his victim were drench-
ed in blood.
Attracted by the child's screams, the
mother ran to the rescue. In a frenzy
she grappled with the murderer and
was badly slashed on the arm with the
razor, The murderer attempted to es-
cape, but was soon captured by the po-
lice. He refuses to give any explana-
ton of his acts, and says he remem-
bers nothing about them. The MUIR
derer has a wife and two children.
