Reads Like Fiction.

A dispatch from New Orleans says:
DR.. 4. Chapman Of Courtland, Miss,
twice reported dead, has arrived here
on the steamer Franklin from Bluefelds
Nicaragua. DR.. Chapman, who was
SUI ge9n in the insurgest army, tells
thrilling story Of his escape from Pres
idert Zelayas forces. He was captur-
ed on February q. near Rama, while
in the company of Stephen Powers, an
Epglish subject, and also member OF
the revolutionary forces. A courtmar-
tial followed the captur,, the men be-
ing tried as spies. They were condemn
ed to be shot. A strange feature Of the
affair was that the sentence was aetu-
ally carried out. Stephen Powers fell
dead at the first fire, but Chapman was
merely wounded in the left arm. He
fell to the ground, however, and think
ing they had killed him, the soldiers
walked off. Chapman made his way to
Bluetelds. Jack Martin, the Amerl-
can gunner of the San Jacinto, who was
captured by Zelaya's soldiers, has been
tried and convicted. Sentence had not
been finally pronounced when Chap
man left. Martin will undoubtedly be
shot.

The Confederate Reunion.

The grand old city of Charleston is
preparing to do herself proud on the oc-
casion Of the Confederate reunion.
which is little more than two weeks off.
The Atlanta Journal says last year at
9he reunion in that city there was q
lively contest between Charleston and
Louisville for the honor Of entertain
ing the Confederate veterans this year,
and Charleston won after an exciting
ballot. The honor thus conferred is du-
ly appreciated by the people Of Char
lesion. They have made elaborate
preparations for the eutertaiomept OF
the veterans and il is their hope thata
larger number of them will assemble In
Charleston than ever met at any prevl-
Gus reunion. A beautiful Auditorium
which will seat 1000 people, has been
erected for the sessions Of the veterans
association, and the program has been
most carefully arranged. Repre- senta-
tives of more than 1900 camps OF
United Confederate Veterans will at
lend this reunion. May 10Th, the an
niversary Of Stonewall Jacksuus death,
sill be the opening day, and for four
days the veterans will own Charleston.
Among those who will take prominent
yarrs ia the exercises are General Cor
Jon. General Wheeler, General Stephen
D. Lee. General Hampton, General VI.
z. Butler and General Evans. General
Wheeler will deliver the opening
speech. The Sons of Veterans, as well as
veterans themselves, will go to Charles
ton in great numbers, aud will have
ine program of thcir own. Charleston,
.Iways beautiful. is most beautiful in
May. Charleston hospitality, always
ull Of cvrdIalty and grace, will bestoW
IT'S warmest welcome aad It's rarest
.race UPON the veterans Of he Coufed-
eracy. We need rot say that Atlanta
s,!l be largely represented at this re-
uu:on. Hundreds Of veterans aud sons
If veterans and hauIrcds more, visitors,
will 20 from this city. The railroads
will give the usual low rates Tor such
occasions. aud We predict ihat Charles
ton, which he's been the scene of many
a historic gathering will have during
The second week in May the greatest
crowd that ever assembled within her
gates. And every body will be we'll
taken care Of.

BOOKER WAsHINGTON'S IDEA.
The Cure for Lynching is the Educa.
cation Of Both Whites and Blacks.

Booker T. Washington, founder and
principal Of the fu-krgee Normal and
Irdustrial Institute, in Alabama. who
While in philadelphia Wednesday was
questioned lesardlug the Georgia lynch
ipgs. He said:
Il would like to speak at length upon
these Georgia occurrances and others Of
like nature, which have taken place
in recent years, but in view of my posi-
ton and hopes in the interest Of the
i'uSkrgee Institute, in Alabama, and
the edncarion of our people, feel con-
s;raiaed TO keep sileut aud not engage
ia ao!conlroyersy that nigh react upon
,he work to which | am now lending
my effor;s.
Il do not mind adding" said the
speaker, that am opposed to mob
violence under all circumstances. Those
guilty Of crime should be surely, swift
~ and terribly punished, but by legal
methods. As rul the men guilty Of
these outrages are ignorant individuals.
who have had no opportunity to secure
an education and moral restraint.
''The solution Of our present Difficult
ties is to be found in the thorough men
tai, religious and industrial education
Of b,,h races in the South. 1t is an
encouraging fact to note that Of the
hundrds Of Negro men who have been
educated in the higher institutions Of
the South not one has been guilty Of
the crime of assaulting woman.
Washington Wednesday night, at the
Academy Of Music, addressed a large
audience in the interest of the Tus-
kegee Institute. The only reference
he made to the Georgia lynchings was
in the introduction to his address, when
he said ''In the interest Of the more
far reaching and fundamental work
which we are tryin to do at Tuskegee,
| shall refrain from any direct and de-
tailed discussion Of the recent outrages
in the South, which l know are upper
most in your minds and hearts, and
which make US bow our heads in sad
ness. The only permanent remedy for
such crimes as have been recently per
retrated in Georgia, and the only per
mancnt remedy for mob violence, is in
the thorough education of all the people
of the Standardization that shall reach
the head, the hand, the heart.

With cleaning boscms lifted high.
and poised on strong exultant wings,
They circle down the sunset sky
To happy twit:cT!ng5.
With every facile turn and wheel
The rose-gleams paint their amber
1hroats,
And flash a hundred giints Of steel
Back from their FURNISHED coats.
Now, in a span that balks the sight,
They sweep Ger hill and marsh and
main,
Then, with their swift and Joyous
flight,
Lo! they are here again,
Or low or high it little recks,
Or far or near it is the same.
Their rapid undulation flecks
The world with hints Of fame.
o fair and tireless ones, my thought
Doth chafe within its fleshly bond:
I too would rise, impeded not,
To the serene beyond.

Sure Of it"
IF understand you rightly. you
say must give you this money, or you
will go to Senator Holt and tell him
that have wife living out west, and
then you will go to law to force me to
give money to this woman, but if
give you the $4,000 you promise to
turn over the proofs to me and leave
the country"
Yes, that's just it,
''At the same time you admit that
all these documents OF yours are for
geries and that the letter you have Of
mine was written for another man who
happened to have my initials?"
"Oh, Of course I know all that, but
if you let it go to law wouldn't hesi-
tate to swear just the opposite, and I
defy you to prove that am lying"
well, you certainly are candid.
Aren't you little afraid to acknowl-
edge all this so boldly"
Not a bit Of it.
Maybe you are right" muttered the
Judge. Just wait minute"
He stepped over to the big desk in
the corner, and when ne turned he was
grasping a pistol.
"Now my young friend" said he,
Dointing it at the visitors head. you
sit where you are and listen"
He reached in the cabinet over the
mantel and touched a spring. There
was a phonograph concealed in the
back Of it. The judge had started 1t
when he got out the brandy. Now
he reversed it and attached funnel
shaped device, and the whole OF the
conversation came out in tones that
could be heard all over the room. The
fudge sat in his chair, holding his pis-
tol and smiling pleasantly.
The strangers face was study. Sur
prise, rage, fear came and went, and
were finally succeeded by look OF
comical disgust.
When the last word was finished. the
lawyer could hold IN no longer. anu
burst into hearty laugh. The stran-
ger glanced up in surprise, and his look
Of cool impudence returned.
"Judge, I tell you what we'll do.
Give me s1OO and we'll call it square"
"Cool as ever, are you, my Cheerful!
liar?" laughed the other. "Now may
be you will tell me why should not
send you to the penitentiary"
"Oh, you don't want to do that. You
are going to be married next week,
you know, and you would not like to
think that your marriage meant the
beginning of long term Of suffering
to one of your fellow mortals."
The Judge was so pleased at getting
ont Of what little while before had
seemed tight place that he laughed
again.
well" said he, "you come back here
tomorrow at 9 o'clock and bring all
your little documents with you, and
we will see what is to be done. In the
meantime you need not try to slip out
of town, for I am going to put the po-
lice to watching you right away, and,
my boy, before you try this kind OF
thing again let me advise you to study
up all the latest appliances for thief
catching" and they walked down the
stairs together.
Just as they reached the street a
handsome double seated sleigh dashed
up, and sweet voice said: "Oh, VIII
liam, we have been looking for you!
Come and take tea with us, wont
you?"
Thanks! Delighted" And tht
Judge threw away his cigar and climb
ed in.
His late visitor plunged his hands IN
his pockets and stood looking after
him blankly and said, Gust my infer

gossip. The story would be II tnf
papers, old pranks Of his younger days
would be raked up, and even though
he cleared himself finally there would
be a bitter sting left. There would be
many to say that where there was so
much smoke there must be some fire.
Then his political aspirations! The
election was to come off in six months.
Nice campaign material this scandal
would make for his opponents!
These thoughts and many more fash
ed through the judges mind, and he
glared at his visitor savagely. He
hadn't doubt that be meant every
word that he said. Through his light
bantering tone there ran a vein OF
earnestness and confidence that was
more dangerous than any loud buster
ing would have been. He was conf
dent that he had a good thing
whether the judge paid up now or not.
The judges good thing seemed to
lie between paying out $4,000 in cash
or having big scandal on his hands.
Suddenly a smile flashed across MS
face, and then the lips were compressed
tightly. The stranger did not notice
the change of expression.
Well" said the judge, Il must con-
fess that this is a pretty tight place.
Maybe We could discuss it better over
a drop OF liquor
He arose and opened handsome
mahogany cabinet that fitted snugly
over the low mantel. In another min
ute whisky, water, sugar and glasses
were placed Hospitality cn the table.
Fill your glass" said the lawyer,
graciously. Ten thousand dollars IS
enough money to deserve some con-
ssideration before being parted with.
Bring your chair around in front OF.

He pulled his chair close up to the
Sire and the stranger did likewise, so
7Aat they were sitting right in front
,et the CRATE, with their faces not four
rect from the smouldering flames.
Anyone looking in would have
thought that they were two old friends
taking a social evening toddy together.
Now, then, sir, your scheme is sim
