Gov. odsll--llan Of Businesa

Can the machine politician change
his SKIN, or the leopard his spots ?
Certainly no one ever thought SO
until "Ben" Odell, sometime chief
lieutenant of "Tom'' Platt, made his
first-year record as Governor of New
York State. His success has been
due to his set purposed to apply to
the affairs of the State the same
principles which he has always ap.
piled to his private business. He Is
the best type Of IA man of Business
in Politics" In McClure's Magazine
for July, Rollo Ogden, one of the very
foremost editorial writers of the
metropolitan press, has written in
the most unprejudiced and convincing
way of this man who, from the work.
ing head of the machine, became i'm.
mediately a reform governor. Yet
Platt says he will be the next Presi.

Chinese Graves Desecrated.

Cinnamon in Washington are stirred
up over the discovery that graves in
the Chinese plot in the Congressional
cemetery have been desecrated. Nell
son II. Adams has written to the dis
trict commissioners calling their at
tention to the affair. according to Q
Washington special. Mr.. Adams, in
his letter, says:
''My attention has been called by
Chinese friends to the dissertation of
the graves and tombstones of their
deceased countrymen in their pur-
chased lot in the Congressional ceme-
terry, which recent visit by my wife
to the cemetery proved to be lAore
than fully verified. 1t was found that
the tombstones had been daubed with
axle grease or similar substance and
that the graves were desecrated in q
most indecent manner. The Chinese
people have Q fervent veneration fol
their dead, and are unable to account
for such dastardly and sacrilegioui
acts in land of boasted Christianity
civilization and enlightenment ! asl
that the matter be investigated"

conna.asf TIlley ssaas Report %
the Popalation of Islanas Of Tu-
tuila ana Of the Nanua 0rouDs.

In accordance with instructions
from the navy department, Command
er Benjamin F. Tilley, the naval COM
mandant at the United States naval
station at Tutuila, Samoa, has for
warded to Washington report upon
the population Of those islands of the
Samoan group under the jurisdiction
Of the United States. From the most
reliable authority in the islands he
has ascertafned that the population
of Tutuila totals 1000 and of the
Manu- groups 1000, including adults
and children. In addition to the ma
tive population there are on the is-
lands approximately 100 whites.
Since his last report to the depart
ment Commander Tilley has visited
the islands of the Nanua aboard his
station ship, the Abarenda, and has
found everything in most satisfac-
tory condition. The natives of these
islands, he says, exhibit much more
kindly feeling than ever before. They
have voted tax for the payment of
their officials and for other expenses
of the government. 1t is paid in
copra. The rate is about one dollar
per head for every inhabitant. This,
says Commander Tilley, is very
light tax and is not in the least bur-
densome to the natives. The abun-
dant copra crop of the islands is now
being harvested and shipped, and
Commander Tilley is endeavoring to
have the natives realize fair prices
for it--something very unusual in the
past.
Commander Tilley reports every
thing in the island of Tutuila in a
very satisfactory state and the con-
dition of the Abarenda's crew excel

The following paragraph, clipped
from an exchange, will appeal to the
heart of every boy who ever turned a
grindstone for scythe that would
not sharpen, or an AZ as blunt on the
blade as on the head. The writer
truly says: "Since the time when
the first boy left the farm to seek
fame and fortune, shame or misfor-
tune in the field of labor, philosophers
have been attempting to figure out
why the bov leaves the farm. If the
farmer wishes to keep his boy ON the
old homestead and hear his CHEEKY
whistle from night till morn and
make his heart glad, throw away, or
crush with Siege this old-time wheel
of torture and get . twentieth cen
tury invention that can be operated
with steam, or. electricity. The
grindstone 10 the bane of the boy's
life and has caused his soul to be sur.
charged With all the pent up fury Of
demons."

Three Whites and Eleven Ne.
groes Killed in Ball Town,
Louisiana.
Shooting ARRAY at a Negro Camp
Meeting Started the
Trouble.
Affair Occurred Near Scene Of
the Lynchine Of the Negro
Morris.

Amite City, La, Oct 29.-Three white
men and eleven negroes killed is the
startling news from Washington par
ish. A man Just from Franklinton con-
firmed this information. but he knew
nothing of what has happened since
yesterday evening.
The first news of the race riot was
brought here yesterday by Cornelius
Nixon, who, with his mother. came
from near Franklintor in the morning.
He said that white men rode into
Franklinton at o'clock in the morn
ing asking for help. saying that the ne
gross were up in arms. threatening to
exterminate the whites.
The scene of the trouble is near Ball
Town where q negro was burned last
week for assaulting a white woman.
This was not the cause, however. OF the
affair Of yesterday.
Nixon say and talked with many men
from the scene and they said more and
worse trouble was expected. as armed
men were focking to the scene, and it
was reported the blacks were equally
active in preparing for battle.
P. B. Carter arrived from Franklin
ton little after dark last night and
said that the situation was terrible and
more trouble is feared. He said that Joe
Seals and Charles Elliott and another
white man, whose name he did not
know, were dead. and e. II. Thompson,
white man, wounded, and that eleven
negroes were dead. His information
was up to last night and was obtained
from people who went to Franklinton
for help. At 3 o'clock this morning q
posse left Franklinton for the scene in
charge Of Sheriff Simmons and from all
over the country armed men were hur-
rying to the same place. Mr.. Carter
said that 500 men We're probably under
arms today in Washington parish.
The trouble occurred at negro
campmeeting. Greer Lott, a negro was
running refreshment stand, and con-
stable, q white man, went to him and
asked for his license; he had none and
became impudent cursed the constable,
and defied him. The constable withdrew
and went for assistance. He returned
with several whiteI men. when Lott
rushed out and fired point blank into
the crowd, killing Joe Seals and Charles
Elliott. The whites returned the fire
and killed Lott. Then negro preacher
namd Connolly rushed out Of house
with gun in hand, attempting to shoot,
when he and his daughter were killed.
In the shooting which followed an
other white man was killed and E. H.
Thompson wounded, and seven or eight
negroes killed.
The shooting had no direct connection
with the burning of the negro Morris in
that section last week, but 1t is I'M
doubtedly sequel to that tragic event
Since that time 1t is reported that the
negroes have been holding nightly
meetings preparing to attack the
whites.
Ball Town Is about twenty miles from
Franklinton, in a sparsely settled sec
ton. 1t is isolated and almost entirely
cut off from the outside world. Frank
linton is twenty-seven miles east of this
place, and there are no telegraph CT tel
ephore lines.
