suers, and one of them placed himself
in the way of the assassin, who, cover.

The shot was heard 200 yards away
from the Avenue de la Care, where a
crowd was gathered to witness the ar
rival of the principal personages con-
nected with the court-martial. These
spectators ran in the direction of the
scene, followed by mounted gen
darmes, who drew Gordon about the

hopes he will pull through and have

however, before we can speak with

After a Night Of Awful Agony, the
Stricken Lawyer Begins
to Improve.
PROOF OF A PLOT AGAINST HIM
Pockets of His Coat Hiaed After He
Was shot--Attcmpt to Steal
Wallet Containing Inn
portant Papers.

Rennes, Aug. 16.-Maitre Labori, af-
ter a nigh of terrible agony, was
somewhat better this morning. The
doctors, however, are still unable to
probe his wound. Labori's assailant
has not yet been arrested.
p. MN. Labor is now doing so
we'll his doctors consider him out of
danger. He lies on his back and is
unable to move, but life is returning
TO the leg which yesterday was
thought to be paralyzed. He has no
fever and continues to discuss the
trial. The doctors hope to see him on
his feet before the trial is ended.
The Associated Press has obtained a
complete confederation of the state
ment that the pockets of Labori's coat
were rifled yesterday while he was
lying on the ground wounded. Not
only We're his pockets empticd, but an
attempt was made to steal his wallet,
i'm which We're important papers re-
ferring to the court-martial, including
his notes for the cross-examination of
MERCER. Labori himself related the
incident. He had just fallen and saw
two men rush to his side. One of
these said:
His coat must be taken off. He
will be too hot
The speaker then took Laboris coat
OFT and another man seized the wallet.
Labori, however, retained his pres
ence of mind and refused to allow tho
wallet to be taken out of his hands,
putting it under his head for pillow
and holding it with one hand. His coat
shortly afterwards was put on again.
On arriving at his residence Labori
asked his wife to look in the pockets
and see if the contents were safe. Nine.
Labor found the pockets completely
emptied. Luckily there were no papers
of Importance in the pockets, which
| only contained personal letters, in

previous day. The rifling of the law

The vessel has three-pole masts and two

WEALTH IN THE GRAvEYARDs.
Less Jewelry Than Commonly Sup.

New York Sun: AS a rule not much
jewelry of value is buried with the dead
In the case of women the jewelry buried
with them is likely to he confined 10

The wedding ring is not always buried
in some instances, If there are children ii

with the dead would be most commonly
some plain bands valued as a gift or .
keepsake or for some dear Association
Sometimes u diamond ring might be bur

plain band upon the finger as the hanc
lay across the body in the casket.
But while such is the prevailing prac-
ance. it is not invariably followed. There
have been cases in which the bodies OF
women have been buried with ear-rings
and all the rings commonly worn in life
including. perhaps. valuable diamonds

becoming rarer.
Substantially the same practice pre-

may be buried is simple and compare

upon the finger that had beer

Beside the rings there might be buried
various other articles of more or less
value, for which a special attachment
had been formed or chat the dead had re
quested should be buried with them.

Dear Sir: At the first annual meet
ing of the National Afro-American
Council, held in this city Aug. II, 18
and 10, was appointed chairman of
the Anti-Lynching Bureau The work
of that bureau is to be the same as
that which, ], have individually con-
Quoted for the past seven years. agi-
tating, Investigating and publishing
facts and figures in the lynching evil.
We hope also to secure the passage Of
resolutions by influential bodies and
to send those resolutions to the lead
ing people where lynchings occur. All
this with the hope of arousing pub
lie sentiment to demand respect for,
and enforcement of, law and order
The work is hampered now as before
by lack of organization among us, and
consequently lack Of funds. We hope
to secure both by inviting members Of
the race and lovers Of truth and JUS
tice to join the Anti-Lynching Bureau
of the Afro-American Council. The
membership fee is twenty-five cents a
year. It is thus possible for anyone
to become member. This also sena-
ibles any one who wishes, to give any
amount he chooses to the work.
The investigationsof the burning of
Sam Hose and the causes which led
up to 1t, has done much to revolutions

ing those facts In distributing them
by the thousands, cost the citizens of
Chicago upwards Of two hundred dol
lars. What has been done by a few
can be done by the bureau when it
gets five to ten thousand members. It.
will then have money in the treasury
to do anything that needs to be- done
without loss OF time in soliciting
funds. s.
This then is our first work; to get
the money necessary to carry on the
work. You will help the cause great
", if you will print this circular in
your paper in the next weeks issue
and lend the weight of your influence
to urge our people to support the
movement. Our present weak state is
due to our disorganized condition as
a race. II ever there was time when
our preachers, lecturers, editors and
Olner men and women of influence
should be united now is the time.
All persons who desire to enroll
themselves on the books of the Anti
Lynching Bureau land are interested
twenty-five cents worth. in the first
concerted effort made by Afro Ameri-
cans themselves to put a stop to this
lynching evil, are urged, to send me
their names and addresses and twenty
five cents at once Not only can every
person do this much, but they can in
fuence one other person to do the
same. If this is done we will have ter
thousand names by the first of the new
year and the new century, and we car
then set about doing something.
