SHORT CIVIL WAR IN PANAMA

New Orleans, La, July z6.-Ail
last night and up to half past three
o'clock this morning mobs ran riot
through the city on the hunt for ne
groes and those unfortunates who
fell into their grasp were either killed
or badly wounded and left for dead.
After the mob got started the ne
groes became terrorized and took
shelter in the homes and outhouses
of white people, who protected them
SO only unsuspecting and inoffensive
negroes are the victims. The police
was powerless. They were mobs
composed almost entirely of boys
under twenty-one years of age and
had no leaders but acted by a COM
mon impulse. Morrison Square near
the scene of the assassination of Cap
tain Day and Officer Lamb the mob
listened to speech from a man hail
ing from Kenner and then started to
way-lay negroes. Alex Ruffin, a
Pullman car porter, ]. c. Lunoy, Con-
ductor Peters, of an avenue car, F. G.
Davis. the motorman of the same car,
Frank Shepherd, white man in the
crowd, were all wounded but not ia
tally; negroes named Esther and
Fields were brutally beaten.
T. p. Sanders, colored, porter OF
the Post and Bowles insurance agen-
cy, was stabbed, shot and left for
dead. Oswald Mcmahon, a twelve
year-old boy following the crowd, was
shot in the leg. George Morris, a
colored watchman at Peydras, was
shot and stabbed several times and
left for dead. John Reeds. white
man. was shot during indiscriminate
shooting. Dan White, negro roust-
a-bout,was shot in therignt wrist. In
a Canal street shooting one of the
crowd named John Doran, got bull
let from an unknown negro who was
taken from a Villoc street car and
shot to death. On Dauphin street a
negro seventy-five years old, named
Baptiste Flo. was beaten almost to
death. An unknown negro was fatal
ly beaten on Decatur street. Another
unknown negro was killed at the
French market Acting Mayor Mehle
issued proclamation at half past
eleven o'clock calling on all good cit
liens to keep the peace, but did not
stop the rioting.
New Orleans. July 26.-A delegation
of citizens today went to the city hall
and asked the mayor either to call out
a posse of citizens or appeal to the
governor to order out the militia. The
mayor decided Immediately to prepare
a proclamation, calling for 500 volun
teer citizens to assist the police in
preserving order.
New Orleans, July 26.-Wild re
ports reached the police headquarters
from various sections of the city Civ
ing information of the beating of ne
groes. Work on the levee where ne
gro labor was largely employed has
been suspended. Big grocery and pro

nothing because they cannot get ne
gro drivers to risk their lives. Mayo
Cap de Villa communicated with Gov
Heard who will Immediately call ou'
the militia to preserve order in tht
city.

The author OF Flowers From a Per
sian Garden" gives many examples OF
oriental wit and humor, some Of which
are extremely delicate and pleasing.
Among them is a story of a profes-
sional scribe to whom a man went. ask.
ing that a letter might be written for
him. The scribe said he had a pain
IN his foot
Pain in your footw echoed the man.
Il don't want to send you to any place
that you should make such an excuse"
Very true" said the scribe, "but
whenever / write a letter to any one
am always sent for to read II, be-
cause no one else can make 1t out"
When a man becomes suddenly rich,
1t not infrequently follows that he be-
comes as suddenly oblivious to his old
friends. Thus, a Persian having OBJ.
tanned a lucrative position at court, a
friend Of his came shortly afterward
to congratulate him thereon.
The new courtier asked him, "Who
are are you. and why do you come
here?
The other coolly replied: do you
not know me, then? / am your old
friend and am come to condole with
you, having heard that you had lately
lost your sight"-Youth's Companion.

Sign Painting an Art.

To become strictly first class sign
painter IL is absolutely essential to
possess a natural ability for free hand
drawing and also quick eye, which
requires much training, diligent prac-
tice and thorough instruction. To
sketch out, outline and correctly form
the various styles and numerous sizes
OF letters without the aid Of a square
or compass may be considered an art.
The two parallel lines simply govern
the size Of the letter, and the rest OF
the work must be measured and pro.
portioned entirely by the eve alone.
Many who are not experts. and prob
ably never will be. are compelled to re-
sort TO mechanical methods, which Is
always bound to plainly show a stiff
ness and marked contrast from that
OF the free and graceful hand One OF
the most difficult styles OF lettering
is the script. which was very popular
some years ago. A very few signs OF
this style are now in existence. The
general demand is for a much heavier
and holder letter One important rea-
son Is that there are very few of the
present generation that can do Justice
TO this style of work. 1t requires an
immense amount OF practice. more so
than any other kind OF lettering. There
Is none Of the old masters now liv-
ing. and their examples OF this, the
most graceful and beautiful of all
styles, have become q matter of the
past.-New York Times.

Mr.. Robert Macdougall, one Of the
meteorolOgists at Ben Nevis observa-
tory, had most exciting experience
when climbing that mountain one day.
Bis only companion in the ascent was
collie dog, TO whom he says he owes
his life. When maneuvering on q
snOwslide about 1000 feet above the
half way station, Mr.. Macdougall lost
his footing, and. as the surface of the
snow was glazed and hard, he was
soon being whirled down n gully at an
alarming pace, sometimes head fore
most, at others the reverse.
1t was at this juncture that the dogs
sagacity came in. AS soon as Mr..
Macdougall began to slide it caught
his coat with its teeth and greatly i'm
peded the downward progress. The
dog ultimately guided him to a place
of safety, after the twain had slid
down on the snow for nearly 1000 feet.
Strange to say, neither observer nor
dog was much hurt, and the former,
breaking open the door of the half way
hut, lit fire. Here he was found by
a search party half asleep with the
dog watching over Observation-Disclosures

When Miss Cutter alighted In the
darkness, she found, to her dismay,
that she was in Jersey City and that in
all probability her friend was at her
church in Brooklyn Evidently there
had been mix up in cabs. There was
no time to undo the mistake, however
and Miss Cutter went forward, and.
without explaining anything, took her
friends place and sang her numbers
on the programme.
The other singer, on the other hand,
was more careful. She told the com
mittee OF the mistake; but, like Miss
Cutter, also filled the bill, but she did
1t in her own name. The next morn.

The story of Nikko.pr,s-..

Long ago a great hearted king cnms
TO Nikko river and looked across at ne
trees. up stream at the torrent and
the hills whence IL came and down
stream at the softer outlines OF The
crops and spurs OF wooded mountains.
1T needs only a dash OF color In the
foreground on bring this all toDsxheni'
said he, and he put little child tn q
blue and white dressing gown UNDER
the awful trees to judge the effect.
Emboldened by bis tenderness, an aged
beggar ventured 10 ask for aims. Now
1t was the ancient privilege OF the
great to try the temper OF their blades
upon beggars and such cattle. Me-
Chemically the king swept on the old
mans head, for he did not wish TO be
disturbed. The blood spurted across
the granite slabs OF the river ford in
sheet Of purest vermilion. The king
smiled
Chance had solved the problem for
him. Build a bridge here" he SAID TO
the court carpenter, "of just such a
color as that stuff on the stones. Build
also bridge of gray stone close by,
FOR L would not forget the wants Of
my people" So he gave the little child
across the stream 1000 pieces OF gold
and went his way. He had composed

wiped II up and said no more about Il,
and that is the story OF Nikko britigs.

HOW YOU SPEND YOUR LieH.

In the Daily Ro9tfAe.

TSe Tine Expended On an Average
=. the Daily Ro1tine.
An ordinary man would laugh away
as pSeposterous the suggestion that b
was hkEsfy to spend 90 years OF his itfe
In sheep. But that is because be dpas
not conduct his life according to O
schedule and really has no idea OF hsv
he does spend IL. AS a matter on facA
most men over 60 years Old have AZ
ready spent more than 20 years IN bed.
which is only one OF the surprises IN
store for the man who sets htmssff to
work to discover how those ID hours
that daily slip by so mysteriousay are
disposed Of
BY painstaking study OF averages O
skilled statistician' has recently arrived
at the conclusion expressed In the fps-
lowing figures. They apply to ths
average American man Of 80 years q
age They do not accurately repsessns
his life today, because his years OF In
fancy and childhood are included In
the computation. They will apply nei-
Their to the man OF leisure nor to the
laboring man. But perhaps the aver
age man who both works and plays
VIII recognize himself in them:
Twenty years in sleep.
Three years nine months in eatfna
and waiting for the waiter.
Seventeen years six months in work
ing.
Seven years six months in pursuit OF
pleasure
Six years three months in walking
and other exercise.
og~
ones toilet.
Two years six months doing abso-
lutely nothing.
The item OF toilet may be subdivided
into seven months for shaving. IL
months for washing, one year for
dressing. Most men walk about three
years and six months and spend two
years and nine months in other exer-
cises.
The little table becomes more intel
ligible If less comprehensive when Il
is reduced to a scale Of days, In which
case it stands as follows:
Eight hours sleeping.
One hour 30 minutes eating.
Seven hours working.
Three hours amusement
Two hours 80 minutes exercise.
One hour toilet.
One hour doing nothing.
The average man, il confronted with
this, Will doubtless claim that he does
not spend eight hours In sleep. You
may retort by telling him that It is
doubtful whether he spends seven at
work, but in his youth he slept more
and worked less, and all this is taken
into account In estimating averages.
An elaboration in any direction OF
the statistics given above is interest
Ing. For instance, IL has been COM
puted that In a single year a man may
speak II. 100000 words and give 1,2OO
handshakes. The total energy dis
pensed in this fashion alone during 90
years would be sufficient to raise $500
tons.
Then, again, one may open and shut
the eyes 100000 times during a sim
gle year. The force thus expended
yearly through GO years would be. II
accumulated, sufficient TO lift a cable
car filed with passengers a good many
feet.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Sickness Gomez High.

Sickness comes high, as is proved
by German records in regard to sick
insurance, which is compulsory upon
workingmen. Nearly 100000 persons
in that country insure against sickness.
and in one year a third OF this num-
Der reported sickness Of some kind or
other, the average duration OF sickness
being II days. Reckoning wages at
90 cents a day, this means a loss In
wages alone In one year of more than
$22,6OOyOOO. Then. of course, there al
ways is extra expense connected with
sickness, such as doctors bills, medi-
cine, special food and sometimes spe-
cial care and maintenance. These rec
ords do not relate to infants or to the
old and inflrm, but ousy to working
persons during the working period
