A JAPANESE HERO SACRIFICES
HIMSELF.

Corporal John E. White, of the
Ninth U. S. Infantry in a letter
to his brother, in Atlanta, tells
the story of the battle of Tien
Tsin as follows:
'tThe big battle occurred on the
18th, and it did look silly to run
infantry up against those walls,
but it was done. and at a fearful
cost.
The British used their As
pound Lyddite gun with terrible
effect. In fact, / don't think we
could have run them out without
that gun.
The Japs were next to us, and
they fight like demons and can
out-drill any troops l ever saw.
There is not two inches difference
in the height of any of them.
They lost heavily aud stood it
bravely. One of them volunteer
ed to blow up part of the wall
with gun-cotton, and blow HIM
self up with the wall lit could
not be done otherwise) and he
was allowed to try it, so that
his troops could get into the city.

body knows, but a few minutes
after he left an awful explosion
occurred, big part of the wall
was down and the brave little Jap
went with it. How is that for
heroism %

For fit Of ambition study the
history of famous men and see
both how hard they worked and
how little real satisfaction they

1t is said that some of the
North Carolina mills children
only s and 9 years old, are en-
ployed, even on the night shifts,
working all night for ten cents
Madison Advertiser,
Yes, it is a shame and an out
rage to punish children of that
tender age in any such work.
They should sleep at night and
attend school in the day time.
There is enough hardships in life
without putting it on children SC
early.

THE OHIO WAY.

nesday night week, strong Re
publican town, 20 miles from
where President Mckinley lives
a negro named Peck criminally
assaulted a six-vear-old white
girl. A mob of 1900 citizens
gathered to lynch the rapist, and
cried lynch the niger In the
meantime the authorities had
quietly removed Peck and another
negro and sent them toCleveland,
Ohio, for safe keeping.
The mob would not believe that
the negro. they sought had been
taken away, although the officers
allowed a committee to search
the jail but they could not find
him.
As the night wore OIL, the fury
of the rioters grew more violent,
finally eliminating in an assault
on the jail and later on the court
house and city hall. Immense
charges of dynamite we're placed
under the city and county build
ings, and then to complete its
work the mob applied the torch.
They broke into a hardware store
and carried off a quantity of am
unition and dynamite, guns and
pistols. The jail was fired upon
and shots were exchanged and a
four-year-old child in a baby car
riage was shot and killed and a
boy eleven years old was shot
through the heart and killed, and
many persons injured.
The firemen in their efforts to
put out the fire were assaulted,
the hose cut and the men driven
away. The pris oners we're turned
out of the jail. The loss is esti-
mated at 5000, 900, and the records
of the city were destroyed.
The governor called out the
militia, and 625 soldiers arrived
on a special train to put down the
reign of terror.
This is unparalleled by any
similar destruction Of public prop
erty and life in the South.
If negro having committed an
assault on white girl had been
spirited away down here, the
Southern mob would have dis
persed, They catch the right
negro criminal and hang him for
the otfense as a protection to the
white women, but they do not try
to destroy property and kill in
nocent people because they might
be foiled in their efforts to get the
criminal.
Mckinley had better send his
troops to Akron, Ohio, to quell
home Boxers, instead of to China.

The New York Sun, Republican,
says there is less prejudice in the

The American troops having
rescued the American legation,
they have no further business in
China, unless Mckinley has made
up his mind to wage war on China
without the consent of Congress.

The Galveston disaster ought to serve
as warning that the sand Islands
#fringlng our gulf coast, from Florida to
the Rio Grande, are not safe in their
present condition for human habitation.
and in great and constant danger from
the violent hurricanes which arise, from
time to time, in the West Indies. Some
better protection must be assured be-
fore these islands can be settled with
out risk of life. What that protection
should be it will BE for the engineers to
say; whether breakwaters. raising the
grade OF the islands. or whether some
other better means OF protection can be
found. There have been 50 many dis
asters. too great a loss Of life and prop
erty. to continue the risk, as we have
done for years.

Hazleton. Pa, Sept 2O-With many
additions to their ranks, making 1885,

with employers whose workers have no
grievances pleading in vain with the
diggers, and with all indications point

continue their talk of arbitration.
Leaders OF the great body of man now
idle insist that they seek only a fair
hearing and are willing to let their case
rest on the decision OF impartial men,
promising to abide by the result, wha t

they are determined is that the whole
coal field shall be included in any nego-s

Alt11o in isolated cases owners of
mines have offered to discuss the differ

have promised to grant the principal
demands of the workers, the union of

settlements. They hold that any re-

strike and that all must stay out until
every employer joins in an agreement.
