Booker t. Washington OF Tusle~
gee. speaking of the moral and re-
lgious life of his own race, said
that it was probably all that could
be expected after their 25O years in
slavery. He told an anecdote Of an
old slave who reasoned that, as his
body belonged to his master, if he
ate the masters checkers the chick
ems still were his and no theft had
been committed. His master remon-
strated with him for eating chicken
shortly after, and the slave replied,
"Well, massa, you Sc got less chick

If the people generally knew the

would be no such thing as lini-

Rheumatism is disordered state

therefore, only through the blood.
But all blood remedies can not cure
Rheumatism, for it is an obstinate
disease, one which requires Il redl

JAMES A. O'GORMAN's RAPID RISE.

James A. O'Gorman, who has been
named for a seat on the New York SUI
preme Court bench by Richard Croker, is
young man with sharp blue eyes, light
brown beard and broad shoulders. A
dozen years ago he was stenographer in
the Office of ex-Judge Merritt E. Sawyer.
He was hard worker, studying law in
his spare moments. O'Gorman has
keen sense of humor, though he strikes
the casual observer as being taciturn. He
makes capital political speech, is sim
cere, and never makes a promise unless
he feels he can keep it. Like the shrewd
fellow he is, he makes friends whenever
he can and keeps them. He joined club
after club, as fast as he could afford it.
1t is these qualities that brought him to
the notice of Croker. For several years
O'Gorman has been a Municipal Justice,
first in the Thirteenth, and then in the
Tenth district. He would have pre-
ferred the nomination for Surrogate, but
is content with the place on the slate Mr..
Croker has given him. O'Gorman is said
to be the originator Of the couplet that
was painted over the door of a club of
impecunious young law students;
while we live, we live ia clover.
For when we die, we die all over"

AWFUL DISASTER.

On Saturday morning, October IA, the
steamboat Nutmeg State, plying between
Bridgeport and New York, was burned to
the waters edge. Six lives, three men,
two women and child, are known posi-
lively to be lost The statements of pas
sengers bring the death list up to ten, but
probably twenty would be nearer to the
actual number, because in the panic
hardly any one knew what became of the
other. The origin of the fire is unknown.
There were sixty or seventy passengers
on board and about fifty of the crew and
freight handlers. In the confusion and
fright incidental to FIRE on water many
persons were knocked overheard and
drowned. Members of the ships COM
pany capsized two laden boats, one by
jumping in upon the heads of the passen-
gers from the upper deck of the steamer.
But be it said, for humanity's cause, that
instances of heroism we're more numerous
than examples of brutality OF FIVE men
imprisoned in the boats hull, two were
gotten out by life savers chopping hole
in the BOAT, but the other three were
burned to death. One little girl, eight
years old, holding her fathers hand,
calmly reminded her father that they
should jump overheard rather than be
burned Taking her at her word, the
father leaped into the water. Coming to
the surface, his child safe with him, they
we've picked up by one of the tugs that
were doing good service in rescu-
ing all who, like this heroic lit
tie girl, were willing to risk
their lives by jumping overheard. A
mother saved her four children-three
little girls and baby. When it was
found that the boat could not be saved It
was run aground on Sands Point, her
whistle blowing all the time, like
doomed things wall for help. The loss
will be at least a quarter of million of
dollars.

TOURISTS IN IRELAND.

Never before perhaps has there been
such an influx of visitors into Ireland as
during the present season. They mono
police many of the new electric cars in
Dublin, and the accents to be heard in
many of them are often almost exclusively
American or English. The hotels in
Killarney have been overcrowded, and
streams of keenly interested sight-seers
have been pouring along the routes to
the most famous scenes in the neighhor-
hood of the lakes.
The north and the west have also
reaped golden harvest. Thanks to the
enterprise of the railway companies and
the energy of the Tourist Association
and other promoters of cheap trips, the
workers as well as the leisure classes in
all parts of England have been making
acquaintance with the natural beauties
of the Green Isle, and have found that
in wild grandeur and charm they are
more than equal to the most attractive
continental resorts. The experience will
will be of service to them in various ways
They will learn that the Irishman of to-
day is neither the stage Irishman nor the
Irishman of Lever, but man who is
earnestly grasping the opportunities
within his reach and dealing with BUSH
ness questions in an Intelligent and pro-
gressive spirit.

MISSION AT CLIFTON.

The mission that will open at the

Sunday promises to be one of the most
successful given in this city since the
days of the great Father Lambert. The
Jesuit fathers, Boarman and Magevney,
will conduct the services, and all are in
,vited to attend and make the mission.
1t will only last one week, closing on

PRIEST MUSICIAN DEAD.

Rev. Father Charles Griss, for eight
years pastor of St. Wendelin's Catholic
church, Fostoria, o., died last week at
the age of GA years. He was man of
high attachments and an exceptional mu-
stefan, being a fine performer on the
violin, piano and pipe organ. Bishop
Horstman, of Cleveland, recently pre-
scented him with very fine old violin of
great value.

DID HE TO 1T?

From the Birmingham Ledger
In the Ledger Saturday afternoon was a
letter from Mr. Darlington Semple, of New
York in which he charges tfat Governor
Johnston was on both sides of the deal in
the university land sale, which has been the
topic of talk for a week past That is going
to the heart of the matter.
The Ledger has not joined in the attacks
OF Governor Johnston. 1t was not invited
to do so. 1t has published the news fairly
and in that same spirit printed the letter
of Mr.. Darlington Semple. in which he
charges that Governor Johnston was per-
sonally interested in the sale of the lands.
1t is a matter of the very gravest impor-
lance.
Several days ago the Ledger said that the
only point in the university land sale was
whether Governor Johnston was interested
in the sale other than as agent of the uni
versity. That is still the only point wosth
discussing.
nIr. Semple says that he was the attorney
of Mr. ]. Warren Worthington, and that he
knows the inside of the transaction, and
that the governor was interested. MIR.
Semple says he has this and other facts
ready to be put in the form of testimony.
If he does this the matter is then in po-
sition for the governor and the others in
tereSted in the transaction to explain. For
should Mr.. Semple produce evidence he says
he has, the courts would set the sale aside
as null and void
1t has been many years since such a
scandal has been known in Alabama, and
the whole people are interested in a prompt
and full Investigation that will clear up the
whole transa ction in a manner to relieve
the public mind of this agitation. Whether
the charges are true or not, the situation
is distressing and action ought to be taken
at once to make the whole transaction plain
and clear.

New York's Commemorative Arch.

The people who are planning. and con-
trbuting to a great arch in New York,
are recovering their equanmity, their poise
so TO speak, and the original plan is to be
carried forward without change or modif-
cation They begin to see that the proposed
arch cannot be decided away, and there Is
no need therefore of panic or even of a
temporary spasm.
And the people will see to it that it is
known as the Dewey arch. 1t may COM
memorate whole line of naval heroes and
naval battles, but every arch must have a
name. and the proposed New York arch will
be known among the people as the Dewey
arch, wholly regardless of the hero's real
estate seized in Manila and not to real es-
tate conveyed in Washington.
But 1t is the name of the arch that is in
dispute, rather than its nature. This name
cannot be determined by contributors or
committeeman. This will be determined by
the people, and the name first proposed will
stand. 1t will be the Dewey arch, even if
on its great sides are concentrated every
event in the navy from Paul Jones to Hob
son. AS the monument in Trafalgar square
is known as Nelson's monument, and the
great arches in Rome were known respect
lively as those of Constantine and of Titus,
so the new arch in New York will bear the
name of an individual. That name will be
Dewey? And why not? What are a few
deeds among friends and admirers?
True, the arch will be a monument to a
great event in American history, but in the
popular mind monuments do not take
names or events. No one will call the new
monument the Manila Bay arch, or the
Spanish-American arch, or the arch Imper-
ial, or anything of that sort. The central
figure in the event will furnish the name,
and that name is Dewey. All hail then the
Dewey arch! No little Washingtonian
event can change the popular current. The
Dewey arch is to be built; its name Will
not be changed, and all is we'll

THE OILY Daily aEWspAPER IN ALAsAmi
Full Surrender Expected.

The populists who propose to vote in
democratic primaries against Alabamas
great senator, much to the alarm of the
entire country, should keep in mind the
fact that they cannot do so in all honor
unless they are ready to support all other
democratic candidates. county as well as
state. They must. too, give over their own
popullstic fads, and plant themselves
squarely on the Chicago platform.
The recent attempt to perpetuate the pop
ulte organization is an attempt that in
wolves dishonesty of the most fragrant sort
if the members of that organization propose
to enter democratic primaries for the pur-
pose of voting on the senatorial issue. This
is matter that should rest on the con-
science of every populist voter. In all hon
esty and honor he should surrender his pc
culiar notions and his membership as a
populist when he enters the democratic
portal. When he casts a democratic ballot
he puts all his errors behind him, and be-
comes a democrat again. He is admitted
into the fold on that condition, and his
honor is at stake. He bids goodbye to
Barker and Donnelly, and all of the pecu-
liar doctrines that he has in the past adj
vocated. The historic democratic party adj
vocates historic principles, and these the
new democratic voter. of course, accepts,
pledging himself at least in his own con-
science to support democratic candidates of
all degrees.
Any other course would involve dis
honesty and Reorganization of the worst
sort. and the best test In all such cases is
the voters own conscience. This is better
than any other test. Among neighbors
there cannot be much deception, and in
fact the case does not call for much. The
game is not worth much. The democratic
doors are open, and all honest men are in
yited to enter While the democratic lamp
holds out to burn any populite may return
and no one should say him nay, if he Is
honest in the step he takes.
