presents itself, will see to it tina,
obnoxious negroes.be made to be.
have themselves or be made tc
leave the community. This has
been done in the past, and will
continue as long as white men
have their homes here. There
can be no division of sentiment, in
this respect, among the white peo-
pie.
But, on the other hand. it is the
bounden duty of the white people
to see that quiet, peaceable, in.
dustrious, negroes are protected
in the rights that the law, and
every sense of human justice,
must grant to even the lowest
beings of Gods creation. No one
would deny to the horse the right
to labor, nor to the mule, nor to
the OK; and why should this right
be denied to any human being, as
long as he conducts himself with
in the hounds Of decency and pro-
priety.
The unprovoked and cowardly
assault on hard working, we'll
behaved negro, of this town, by
unknown parties, last Thursday
night, was justly condemned by
the white citizens of this town, in
a mass meeting held at the Court
house, the following morning. 1t
is not only the right, but the duty
of every citizen to denounce such
acts, no matter who the guilty
parties might be.
1t is essential to the peace and
quiet of this place for such out
RACES to be nipped in the bud, un-
less we want to see the commune
ty drift into state little better
than that holding full sway in

THE DEWEY BOOM.
States.

The New York World is now
very industriously engaged in an
attempt to boom Admiral Dewey
as the Democratic candidate for
the Presidency of 1900, and in its
issue of Monday last publishes a
number of kilograms from promi-
nent men in different parts of the
country, the majority of them ex-
pressing the opinion that if Dewey
were nominated he would certain
ly defeat Mckinley or any other
man the Republicans could put up
for President. This, unquestion-
ably, is true, because Dewey fresh
from his great naval victory at
Manila is the popular hero, but
unfortunately for the Worlds
boom, Admiral Dewey is a Repub-
lican, and has declared. Hence
there is little if any probability
that the Democratic party will
take up Republican as it's presi-
Dental candidate. After asserting
that a new issue of supreme i'm
portance will await the new ad-
ministration of the new century.
the World goes into ecstacies over
the idea of the Democratic party
nominating Dewey for President.

Of men for the occasion.
AT several points in our history Ger.
tain men-always national herOes-have
been called to the Presidency by a con-
currenee Of all the conditions and cir
cumstances Of their time. The finger of
natural selection pointed to them az
predestined Presidents by the imperious
force of fOreordained events. Washing
ton, jackson and Grant were all thus
nominated. Dewey is similarly pointed
out for 1900.
HE is fit. he is able, he is honest, he
il fearless, he is independent, he is in
vincible. His nomination would be
equivalent to his election. His election
would be patriotic JUBILEE, not a party
victory. 1t would end the nightmare of
Imperialism"

is not inspiring. 1t is by no means

While proud of the high regard
in which he is held by the Ameri-
can people Admiral Dewey ex-
pressed the hope that on his re-
turn to this country he would be
allowed to rest and enjoy the COM
forts of his home at Montpelier.
1t is fact of history that with
the exception of Andrew jackson
military men have made very poor
Presidents. Grant was nomina-
ted and elected because he was the |
popular hero of the civil war, but
he proved to be one of the weakest |
Presidents that ever occupied the
White House, and there is every
reason to believe that Dewey
would be equally as conspicuous a
failure.

How Alice DOrrence Learned to
Choose Between Her Lovers.
There were thoughtful shades in the soft
brown eyes of Alice Dorrence as she walk
ed slowly along the path leading from the
rivers edge to the lawn. Her white dress
and pale pink ribbons futtered in the af-
ternoon breeze, and made a sharp con-
trast with the vivid green around and I'M

Just now she was trying to solve a prob
lem such as has been presented to most
women in their life time. Two men loved
her, each for different qualities. John
Strong had been her friend and protector
ever since she could remember and she
knew his loyalty and goodness-but-he
was plain, unassuming person, caring
little for society or appearance. His leis-
ure hours were given to the study of me-
chanics. He worked in a machine shop as
though proud to wear the overaus and
apron. 1t as true that he looked like one of
the sculptured gods as he stood caressing
some part of great intricate machine
but
The other was a rich mans son, and
his long, slender hands We're never stained
with toll
Alice thought of both these men, con-
trasting them, weighing them and some
times almost deciding in favor of one or
the other. One was educated. but a work
man. The other was polished; but an idler.
AS often as she thought she decided some

their mothers, with quaint mushroom
shaped shoulder collars, and the almost
universal wide hat, turned off sharply

The coats on the misses of II and less
years. were without exception box-shaped
back and front, with the bottom edges
cut in three or four shallow scallops and
the gilt braiding. The mushroom collar
has hidden successful defiance to the
trusty, faithful sailor shape. 1t is cut
quite round, juts out to the shoulder seam
and is either lined or faced with silk that
is an emphatic contrast in color to the
coat itself. There were elegant little pale
tots on elegant little gentlewomen of
warm rose bengaline, which after all, is
quite serviceable cloaklng goods, and on
the bengaline was applied che most grace

course, a cream guipure collar swept about
the shoulders and the white leghorn hat
with this was decorated with pink wings
and had corded white taffeta swathngs
on the crown. In some respects these
small Easter worshipers outshone their
mothers, for nowadays no toilet is con-
sidered too splendid for the pretty Ameri-

Good Novel Recipes for Dressing Up
Old Second Day Fowls.
For minced chicken a la Manila chop
chicken. and pound 1t well with a little
butter and cold stock; season it with pep
per, salt, a tiny dust of cayenne, and If
at hand, a couple of minced truffles Mix
all this with the yolks of four raw eggs
in the proportion of two to each two
ounces of meat, and just at last stir in
the whites of the eggs beaten to a stiff
froth; pour the mixture into papered souf-
fie case and bake twenty minutes. Serve
at once.
Chicken fried in butter is a toothsome
supper dish. The chicken is cut up as
for fricasse. Beat to a stiff froth, sepa-
rately. the yolks and whites of three eggs
Add to the beaten yol1s, some milk, about
three gills When this is well stirred in
add enough -four to make a stiff batter:
season with SAT- and, last of all, add the
beaten whites. Dip each piece of chicken
in the batter and fry in a deep frying pan
which has plenty of smoking hot lard. A
sauce to pour over the chicken is made
by stirring pint of cream, thickened with
flour, over the fire, until it comes to a
boil; pinch of powdered mace must be
added to the cream.
Turkey or chicken soup, made of left
over pieces, is much improved by the ad-
dition of a tablespoonful of walnut ketch-
up. The turkey must be chopped very
small and placed in a saucepan with about
two quarts of ordinary beef stock, two
ounces of ground rice, salt and pepper to
taste. Simmer all together for four hours,
and then pass through a Sieve cook for
a few minutes again, having added a gill
of cream and serve.
An oyster sauce for serving with boiled
chicken is made as follows: Put one doz-
en- oysters into a stew-pan with their liq-
uor and simmer slowly. Strain the liquor
into basin, then take away the boards
and hard part of the oysters and cut each
in half Melt some butter In a saucepan,
add flour, then the liquor of the oysters
and boil for FIVE minutes. Flavor with a
squeeze of lemon juice. salt and cayenne
and lastly add the oysters.
Essence of celery is a new sauce to serve
with roast duck and is preferred to the
plain celery salad. To make essence of
celery, wash well, parboil and drain the
stalks of two punches of celery; cut in
pieces and put in a saucepan with salt,
pepper a little sugar two ounces of butter
and a pint of white broth Boil and let
simmer slowly for an hour, then strain
the liquid through a fine muslin bag and
reduce with a half gill of white wine, add
a little butter and serve hot with the
duck.
