New Orleans, Aug 23.-The outbreak
during the week against the negroes at
Orange. Tex, just across the Sabine
River from Louisiana, is only a repetition
of similar outbreaks that have occurred
In the black belt of eastern Texas and
southwestern Loulsians during the last
few years, and which will make itself
felt In the next census. Through all
this region, almost as great as New
York, the negro Is being rapidly driy,n
back and is taking refuge In the larger
towns, particularly in New Orleans.
This movement to gat rid Of the negro
population, while not systematic or
organized, has the support of a MAORI ty
of the whites. 1t is partly Industrial and
partly racial. but its effect is marked
that of getting rid Of the negroes.
During the past week two ofssthese ont.
breaks were reported no wise related TO
each other. yet having the same object in
view. In Tangipahoa parish, Louisiana,
a mob of Whitecaps, after shooting into
the house of the negroes and killing one
of their leaders. posted notices on all
the mills, warning the companies against
employing negroes In the sawmills or on
railroads. A postscript announced that
the negroes would be allowed to make
| bricks-most of the com panies conduct
lumter mills and brick yards side by side
but not in any other industry, in log
ging, ON the lumber railroads or In any
of the more lucrative industries, which it
was declared should be reserved for the
whites.
The affair at Orange was identical
The town is one of the largest lumber
csntres.of the Southwest, and its mills
have employed both white and negro
labor. Ii is asserted that the millmen
were displacing white with negro en-
ployees, as the latter were cheaper and
more easily controlled. There has been
much feeling on this subject for some
time. Finally it broke out into overt
action. Exactly the same course was
pursued as in Tangipahoa. Whitecaps
rode around the country, fired into a
house whore number of negroes were
assembled for mutual comfort and pro-
lection, and killed one and wounded sew

emanoipations became far lees frequent,
and the free negro population decreased
instead of increased.
There has been considerable prejudice
aroused against the negroes in New Or

wages, thus cIowding out the whites
Ihey have almost monopolized brioklay-
ing and all the building trades; and
they are doing most of the paving and
other public work, Against this, there
have been numerous protests from the
white labor unions, and several attempts
have been made to shut out the negroes,
but In vain. An attempt is being made
TO reorganize the various unions and
unite them into central council, and II
this is done, the color line may be
drawn. This was done of old, and while
tine negroes were organized into different
unions, they had the same recognition In
the labor councils; indeed, the big strike
IN New Orleans, of ten years ago, which
completely paralyzed the city for few
days, was made on behalf of a negro la
hor organization, the Teamsters and
Leaders Union. But conditions have
changed since then. The white laboring
men are growing restless under the som
petition Of the cheap negro labor pouring
into the city, which labor has bean
crowded out OF the rural districts; and
Unis Industrial competition has re-aroused
great deal of the old race prejudice.

reflections Of a BACHELOR.

Usually when a woman gets ready to
cry it's sign she hasn't anything to cry
about.
If woman can't find anything else
to be proud about her looks, she will re-
joice that she isn't knockkneed.
When an engaged girl plans how she
will act after she is married, she thinks
of herself, queenly and stately, descend

when he comes home and letting him kiss
her on the forehead. What she does is to
fall down stairs and then cry ON his

ABOUT PERFUMES.
The too fres use of perfumes about the
person has been avoided for many years.
and held inadmissable in good society,
te merest hint of a faint odor being all
that was possibly allowed. Recently this
edit of good taste has not been so strictly
regarded, and such perfumes as violet
and sandal-wood, both of them expensive
ones when pure, together with helIotrope,
are somewhat in favor again. 1t is quite
likely that the very general wearing of
large punches of violets has led the way
to this.
1t is not easy to eradicate the love of
perfumes any way. for the nerves made
to appreciate them win always demand
satisfaction and siEce the race, civilized
OF unoivilized, has existed, the love of
pefumes has existed too. Even animals
are sensitive to perfumes; ami it used to
be said that one of the helps of the great
horss. tanner Rarey was bunch of violets
hmpsrorsiand priests, and people In
power, have always bean lavish in their
use of perfumes. Saladin washed down
the walls of the Mosque of Omar with
rose water, to make the Mohammedan
heaven more attractive. Some of them
were declared to have bodies of pure
musk. The Turk has always bsen more
fond of musk than the Occidental is.

While City Prosecutor Arnold was busy
yesterday afternoon delving after a SUI
preme court decision he was aroused by
a small voice at his elbow iliquiring for
the man who gave out warrants" Turn
ing about the city prosecutor beheld a
br;ght-faced lad, apparently not more
than twelve years of age. The young
ster had his cap in his hand and the de-
termined expression of his face indicated
that he had called on official business.

'WeH, you see," said the boy, our
neighbors bother us and l want them ar

cause l don't care what they say or do,
but they call my mother bad names and
throw stones at our windows. Mother
did not have time TO come down town
so l thought 1 would come in and get
the warrants"
City Prosecutor Arnold was rather
aghast at the Youngsters assurance. He
told the little fellow he was not in the
habit of issuing warrants upon complaint
of children, but If the boy would bring
his mother to swear to the complaint the
annoying neighbors should be attended to-.
The youngster was disappointed but he
said he would bring his mother today.

The discovery was made yesterday
that Michael Antonack, who has been
mis- sing from Minneapolis for nearly a

was committed tC the asylum on July II.
At the time he was examined nothing

Capt. Woods, of the postoffice inspec-

yesterday to find the person who burglar
lied the pOstoffice at that place last
Wednesday morning. Col. Sullivan was
notified of the robbery yesterday by Post
master P. E. Rugg, who wired that the
thieves obtained an entrance early in the
morning and succeeded in getting away
with 1855 in stamps, besides cash to the
amount of $500. Col. Sullivan was inclin-
ed to think that an organized gang has
been operating on the postoffices in Da-
kota.
Within the past few weeks the offices at
Lake Preston, Lenox, Plankington, Tyn-
dali and other places have been burglar

at Artesian appears TO have been like
sthe others, accomplished by expert crafts
men. In every case the safe has been
blown open neatly with dynamite and the
tools are always left behind. This de
partment is now doing all it can to cap
