There was a lawyer in the Indian
country who had none too good a repu-
tation for honesty, says the Chicago
News.
One of the aborlgines employed him
to do little legal business. 1t was
done TO the clients satisfaction, the
fee duly paid and receipt for 1t duly
demanded. "a receipt isn't necessa-
~" the lawyer said. But l want it,"
replied the red man. There was some
argument, and the attorney finally de-
manded his reason, "Snce becoming
a Christian l have been very careful
In all my dealings that may be ready
for the judgment" answered the brave
sententlously, land when that day
comes 1 don't want to take time to go
to the bad place to get my receipt from
you" The receipt was made out and
promptly delivered.

A TICKLE IMMIGRANT.
Her Experience with Two Lovers at
Uncle SANS Barge Omce.

Her Experience With Two Lovers at
Uncle SANS Barge ONCE.
"There seem to be manifold oppor-
tunities among the immigrants coming
to America on shipboard for falling in
love, particularly on the slower steam
ers, when people are thrown together
for n period Of from II to Is days."
says John Gllmer Speed in Alnslee's.
"In this case u worthy young Russian
was cheated out of very pretty bride
by likely Italian fellow traveller Of
the maiden. Strangely enough, she
knew not one word of Italian nor he
a word of Russian, yet the brides
countryman was Tilted, and the panto-
mime lovers were married and set
forth gayly and confidently to learn
each other and the great new world
they had entered at one and the same
time.
Another case was equally ludicrous.
A Swedish maiden of somewhat tickle
mind fell in love with fellow voy-
ager without apprlsing him of the fact
that she was betrothed to another man
whom she was to meet at the barge
office and marry. 1t was her intention
to hurry ashore with her new lover
and outwit the former by prior cere-
mony. but the red tape Of the office
prevented that, and the first lover came
to welcome his bride. She then as
promptly fell in love with No. 1, But
when No 2 pleaded and threatened,
she could not decide which one she
loved the better, so she was detained
while the two men haunted the barge
office, glaring at each other.
when the detention time had elaps-
ed, the bride, still not knowing her
mind, was sent unceremoniously back
on the same steamer that brought her
over both Tilted lovers abandoning the
field In despair. But on arriving on
her native soil once more the maiden
dared not face her people, so back she
came, having just money enough to
pay her passage, and sent for lover No
1. declaring that she loved him the bet
ter. He replied that he was very much
obliged, but as he had already married
a handsomer girl In the interval he was
compelled to decline to come for her
The maiden then sent word to No. tc
like effect, but he declared that he had
had enough of the tickle feminine, and
thus in defeat the maiden was trans
ported back again to face the leers and
1eers of her native hamlet"

pRITcHARD's ADVICE INcENDIARY.
He Urged His Hearers at Greensboro to Use
Force.

Yesterday morning the News and
Observer printed a special despatch
from Greensboro giving an account of
the Guilford county Republican con
yention In it were these words ,'-
Senator Jeter Pritchard addressed the
audience for some time, arousing consid-
cradle enthusiasm from the Republicans
by his abuse of the election law and his
reference to the necessity for the use of
bayonets to get their rights
At 10 o'clock yesterday morning,
soon after this paper had been issued.
the following telegram was received
from Senator Pritchard in regard to
the report of his speech:
Reidsville, N. c., July 3.
Editor News and Observer: The state
ment of your Greensboro correspondent
bayonets is false and l trust you will
make the correction.
j. G.. PRITCHARD.
Immediately the substance of the
denial was wired to the News and OBJ
servers correspondent at Greensboro,
and he was asked as to the correctness
of his report. In reply last night he
sent the following
Greensboro n c., July 3.
Editor News and Observer: Senator
Pritchard did not make use of the exact
language used by your reporter. but the
reference to the use of force by outside
help was so plain that every one in the
court house understood it that way.
| quote the language of the Evening
Telegram on this point:
when he (Pritchard) referred ind-
rectly to the use of bayonets and other
means to prevent the Democrats from
enforcing the law, (meaning the election
law, the Republican audience went into
wild and prolonged applause"
Messrs. Underwood, of the Charlotte
Observer, and Phillips, of the Post, so
understood the Senator's illusions, as
we'll as others who listened to him. The
tenor of his speech was that the Demo-
Gratis were going to try to cheat the Re
publicans and force must be used to pre-
vent it,
H. w. WHARTON,
It thus appears that though Senator
Pritchard did not in so many words
advise the use of "bayonets," he did
urge upon his followers the use of
force in the election.
Does he deny that?

SILVER 1e TO l.

the effect that the platform adopted
by the convention will declare expire
itly for "the free coinage of silver at
the ratio of 16 to 1.
There will be no lodging, no "sim-
pie re-affirmation," no sacrifice OF
Democratic principles" Mr.. Bryan
has insisted upon this course and in
this position he has been backed by
most of the great leaders of the party
And why not? If ''free silver 16 to l.
was right in 1896, as Mr.. Bryan and
the leaders of the Democratic party
then declared, free silver N6 to L is
right now.
1t was decided yesterday, as far as
anything can be decided before the
convention, that the platform shall
contain a positive and specific declara-
ton for free coinage at 16 to 1.

WAR IN CHINA INEVITABLE.

The situation in China daily becomes
more serious, and long and bloody
war in that country now seems in
evitable.
Emperor William, in a speech to his
soldiers embarking for China, has de-
cared his intention to avenge The
murder of Baron Won Ketteler, the
late Minister of Germany, and says
that he will dictate terms to the Chi
nese from the palace at Pel1in.
The English Government, while ac-
knowledging that the situation is most
serious, declares itself in a maze OF
uncertainty, and asks what the United
States is going to do about it,
This country, through its State De-
partment, insists that the Imperial
Chinese Government is not implicated
in the attack on the ministers and
missionaries, but that state of insur-
rectiOn exists in Pekin and the prov
ince of Chile and it must be treated
as such.
Thus stand the three great world
powers. In the meantime further re
ports from China show that the Boxer
movement is growing and that the
state of affairs is each hour becoming
more threatening. A despatch from
Shanghai says it is currently reported
there that two other foreign minis
ters were murdered on the same day
that Baron Won Ketteler was killed
From the same source it is declared
that the mission at Moukden has been
destroyed by fire and that the native
Christians have been massacred.
If these reports be true, it would
seem that war is now inevitable be-
tween the allied powers and China.
