Serious Race Antagonism to Labor.


Alexandria. The Tioga Lumber
Company, Of which Alexandria capi-
alists own larg amount of stock,
town and operates large saw mill at
Levin Station six miles north of AL
exandria, on the Iron Mountain rail-
road. The managers OF the mill de-
cided to amploy both white and COL
ored labor, as the white labor was in
adequate to the demand. They put a
squad of negroes to, aud the white
men employed at the mill, and those
who reside in the surrounding coun-
try. decided that they would not per,
NIT the negroes to work, and while
they were camping in tents, the
houses which are being erected for
their use not having been completed,
mob Of white men appeared upon the
scone and fred volley of shots into
the tents, with the expectation that
they would no longer attempt to work
at the mill. Fortunately, none Of the
shots took effect. The managers OF
the mill say they cannot run the mill
with white labor alone, and are deter
mined to protect the colored laborers
OF all hazards. The white mon are as
fully determined that the negroes
shall not work, and serious trouble is
feared. This same condition of affairs
exists at all the mills on the line OF
the Iron Mountain railroad In Rapides
and Grant parishes. The white men
are bitterly opposed to the blacks be-
ing employed. Andrew Nc
Rush and A. F. sauer Of Chicago, Of
the Mattoon Manufacturing Company
who have been here for several days
prospecting, with view to locating 6
furniture factory at this place, left this
afternoon for other points. The gen,
tlemen express themselves as fully
satisfied with the possibilities of Al
exandria, and If the hard wood, oak,
gum, etc., are found to exist here il
sufficient quantities, with enough saw
mills to convert the same into lumber
will likely locate a factory here.

Amours of Prince George.

Prince George Of Greece, who is
how serving as governor of the island
of Crete, is having q hard time with
his love affairs. In the first place he
is said to be deeply in love with two
women at the same time. In the Sec
ond place, 1t appears almost certain
that he will never be able to marry
either one of them. One of the young
women in question is the Princess
Victoria of Wales, with whom, even If
no family objections were raised, his
marriage Is forbidden by the laws Of
the Greek church, as she is an own
cousin Of the young prince. The other
young woman is the beautiful French
actress and dancer, German Gallois,
who is now performing at the Varie-
ties in Paris. That Prince George is
not alone in thinking that German
Gallois is beautiful Is shown by the
fact that she was this year awarded
the modern apple of Paris as the most
beautiful woman Of France. She is
said to have a perfect figure, with a
creamy complexion, big gray eyes
and ginning red brown hair. Prince
George comes often to Paris, and never
fails to call at the Varieties to see the
pretty actress.-Chieago Tribune.

Scientific investigation is putting an end
to many theories. For instance, for years
we have been told that the bread made of
fine wheat flour not only fails to give the
ingredients necessary TO physical well-be-
ing, but that such bread is unhealthful. As
a result the public has been furnished a
large number of cereal foods, all more or
less unpalatable. Recently the corps of
food experts of the Agricultural Depart
ment at Washington conducted tests to es-
tablish which is the most nutritious bread.
and came to the conclusion that white
bread yielded the highest percentage of nu-
triton; that entire wheat bread, made
from -four not containing the three outer
layers of the bran, ranked next and that
graham -four from the whole grain gave
the lowest percentage of digestible nutri-
ton. This announcement will be a surprise
to many who are eating other than white
bread.

ME. EAps.s MISTAKE.

John Eads, the wealthy young st. Louis
man who has announced his intention of
working for a living because he did not
earn his fortune. and has begun his career
by walking to Chicago in search of a joo,
takes an entirely wrong view of his respon-
sibilities in life. If he wants work there
is no reason i'm the fact that he is a rich
man why he should not have it. Most rich
men, indeed. whether they undertake 10
look after their own investments or wheth-
e- they occupy themselves in spending their
incomes. are as busily engaged as their
fellow-citizens less favored by fortune. IL
they do not make their labors and occupa-
tons profitable in the highest sense of the
word 1T is their own fault. If they become
so absorbed in the task of increasing their
fortunes that their souls grow narrow end
they fail TO recognize their duty to their
for their own sakes, at all events. had they
gone out in the beginning and earned their
bread by daily toll. The same is true of
one who spends his wealth solely to crafty
his W luxurious and extravagant tastes.
1t is true that a poor man is not necessarily
possessed of broad views and a wise under
standing of life. On the contrary, he may
be, and often is, selfish. mercenary and
filed with all uncharitabIeness- Grinding
poverty is not of itself uplifting to the hu-
man soul. But the man who has known
hunger and cold and the other miseries tha:
come from want Is apt to have a sympathy
for others in like case which those without
the experiences cannot well have. Then. on
the other hand. the effort to provide for
himself is likely to bring out manly quail
ties. 1t is a moral as well as a physical

Those who nave investigated the results
CT the in~determinate sentence are satisfied
that it is highly beneficial in reforming a
class Of men who have fallen into lawless
habits, and advantageous to the State
from a financial point of view. The pro-
cess Of removing old buildings n con-
structing modern ones at the Jeffersonville
obtain the results which may be expected
when the buildings now under construction
shall be completed. But, taking condi-
tions as they are, it appears that the pa
role and indeterminate sentence. in tho
few years that the law has been in force,
have accomplished surprisingly important
results. During the last two years 556 men
were paroled, which, added to the num-
Der previously paroled, makes us men
under sentence who have been sent out
since the Reformatory was established to
make another trial in the world. The
superintendent reports that the larger part
OF these men are doing remarkably we'll,
only 1873 per cent. of the paroled conduct
ing themselves In a manner which COM
PEELED their recall. To turn to honest
ways and to self-support so per cent. Of
a large class of men who, under the old
system, would be kept in prison until the
expiration of sentence, is a great achieve
ment. On the basis Of unsentimental
economy Indiana has saved SOS, 1888 the
cost of these paroled men to the State If
they had remained in the prison. Further
more, in the three and a half years the
paroled men have been taking care of
themselves they nave earned for their own
use $126, 791. 81. The State is nearly $500
better off, the paroled men have earned

thus far in the history of the R~eformatory,
is $1s5, 900 better for State and men, to say
nothing of the more important fact that
sc per cent. of these men have apparently
been reclaimed from vicious tendencies
and made to feel the Importance of living
reputable lives. The process is simply
taking from the ranks of crime several
hundred men who were n-onsupporting
criminals and enlisting them on the side
of the self-supporting and the self-respect-
