TOO BAD FOR BOSTON.

Mr.. William Lloyd Garrison has
written letter to the New York Sun
appealing to the people of New York
for aid for the widow and children Of
Baker, the negro postmaster Of Lake
City, $. G., who was murdered. The
from Lake CITY to charleston, ' Where
she was established safe and con-
tented. But the baleful eye of the
sensation monger fell upon her and
she was transported to Boston and
put on exhibition. The colored
woman was aversc to the removal,
and had objected to taking her chill
drcn away from school. But in an
evil hour she was overpersuaded. In
Boston she was nine-davs' wander.
She lay, so to speak, like Lazarus at
the rich mans door and the dogs
came and licked her wounds. Then
the good people of Boston found some
other holy work to do, the poor col
ored widow and her children were
forgotten and apparently forsaken,
and now her condition, Mr.. Garrison
says, IS pitiable. He makes his APP
peal to the people of New York to
support the poor family or buy them
a house. Boston, it seems, was will
ling to gather in great numbers to
gaze upon the unfortunate and to
make their arrival within her cultured
precincts the occasion of violent
TRADE against the South and the
Southern people. But when it comes
to putting up few dollars for their
benefit an appeal must be made to
New York. In justice to Mr.. Gar
rison it must be said that the colored
family were brought to Boston
against his protest. The poor and
plundered South and its maligned
white people have to care for vast
number of colored families. They
have voluntarily assumed the burden
of educating the race. and Boston
cannot care for single family. 1t is
time now for that city to give lis 4
rest and cease proclaiming itself rs
the friend of the oppressed.-Balti

GREAT SHOWl
The Dogs Capture the Entire Town.

Prof. Gentry, he of educated dog
and pony ia me, needs no introduce
ton to a Henderson audience. He
has been here with his interesting
aggregation of marvelously trained
CANNES, ponies and monkeys, and we
all know what kind of an exhibition
he gives.
Since he last visited Henderson
Prof. Gentry has added to and greatly
strengthened his show and press and
public wherever he has been on his
present tour speak in highest praise
of it. From the Danville Bee of last
Saturday we take the following:
Prof. Gentry's Famous Dog and Pony
Show arrived here this morning from
people away at b6h aKfe thsx turned a
evening performances.
This sterling exhibition needs no in
production to the people of our city it
having been here in past seasons and its
coming this time is like the coming of q
brother or sister so pleasing was its last
visit here
This season many new features have
been added to the already interesting
programme which makes it even bet ter
than ever.
The parade this morning was fine
one-in fact it was one of the best street
pageants ever seen upon our streets. All
the little stock looked their best and the
beautiful and elaborate little wagons
were pleasing to behold.
The afternoon performance was wit
messed by an immense audience and
suffice it to say the work of the little
animals was great. Pinto and Satan,
the two baby elephants, are wonderful in
their art and seemed to catch on with the
crowd Immediately.
There should be large crowd present
tonight to witness the excellent perform
ance given by Prof. Gentry and his ex-
cellent troupe Of trained dogs, monkeys,
ponies and baby elephants, for they are
certainly deserving of liberal patronage

"READS LIKE A ROr1ANCE."

The Memphis Commercial-Appeal,
in an editorial Endorsing the sug-
pcstion for the collection Of fund
for the purchase Of house for Rear
Admiral Schlev, says:
The career of Winfield Scott
Schlev reads like a romance. Even
aside from his service in the war OF
secession we find his life teeming
with adventure. His exploit in
Korea was one of thrilling heroism.
His discovery and rescue Of Greedy IN
the Arctic SHOWS was another episode
in his cventful life. And his de-
struction OF Cervera's fleet, though
lacking the reckless element OF
Dewev's great exploit, was as COM
plete as it was possible to make it,
and its effect on the war was even
more decisive, for it brought on
peace. 1t is true that the Navy De-
partment had not intended that
Sch!ev should be in command when
Cervera was destroyed; that JOB had
been especially reserved for another
Hence Schley deserves all the more
credit for being master OF the sltua-
ton suddenly thrust upon him and
winning a victory that concluded the
war,

have of his own productions; the

no way for his income to be increased

making ends meet. With the scant

tobacco crop he has made in wears.

TASTY Action of CoIored Boy May Result
Seriously far Ferdinand Mokoski-
Howard Gumby. a 10-years-old col
ored boy, threw water, presumably soap
suds, in the face Of Ferdinand Mokoski,
"a white boy about the same age, Tues
day, while Mokoski was peering
through the fence Of yard on Button
wood Street in the rear of the house
where Gumhy lives, and as result the
white boys eyes were injured to such
an extent that the result is in doubt.
The boy is being treated by Dir. Tybout.
Gumby is deaf and dumb, although
he is able to articulate in manner
which can be understood by people who
are acquainted with him. His left ear
is diseased and has the appearance of
heing running sore, and judging from
evidence heard yesterday in the city
court, where he was placed on trial
charged with assaulting the white boy,
he had probably been washing his ear
with water and tar soap and it was
that mixture which was thrown at
Mokoski. just what the water con
tanned is not known, but it is feared
that it has inoculated Mokoski's eyes
with the germs OF the disease In the
negroes ear. II such is the case the
result may be serious.
Mokoski, who appeared in court
wearing green glasses, said he was
looking through the fence at the Negro
and the latter threw the water ut hin
without proyocation. 1t was learned
from other witnesses that Gumby
thought some of the white boys in the
neighborhood were tantalizing him ant
for that reason, probably, he threw the
water. Mokoslsi said he had not beer
tantalizing Gumby.
The case was continued to secure thu
attendance of DR.. Tybout.

EXPLOSION IN CLEVELAND
A Big Consolidated Street Car Blown
From the Track Yesterday.
NITRO YGERlNE PROBABLY USED
The Roar Heard a Mile and a
Half Distant.
CAR DEMOLISHED. BUT NOBODY HURT

Associated Press Dispatch by Special Wires.
Cleveland, o., Aug. 8. "A Big Con-
solidated street car was wrecked at 9
o'clock this morning, on the Wade Park
avenue line, near Cactus drive,a lonely
spot adjoining Wade Park.
The car was eastbound, and the first
iptimation Of danger was when it rose
from the track, and deafening report
was heard. Residents within radius
OF mile and half were awakened by
the roar, and sprang from their beds to
seek the cause. The car vas blown
from the track, and badly damaged.
The frightened motorman was hurled
from the vestibule, and the conductor
from the platform. They were unin-
jured The one passenger aboard also
escaped unhurt. The bottom and for
ward part of the car we're completely
wrecked by the explosion, the forward
trucks being blown to atoms. Every
pane of glass in the windows and doors
was shattered.
The explosive used evidently was
nitro glycerine. There is no clue as to
the identity of the miscreants who
committed the outrage.
