FOR REBUILDING
 THE NEGRO RAGE Great Meeting of Race Leaders
 Held at Washington GOOD WORK MAPPED OUT Unreaehed Negro of Little Culture, of No Practical Piety and With Her. edItary Evil Appetite Is the
 Criminal Negro.

Washington, March 3.-Perhaps tht largest movement ever inaugurated among the colored people of the United States has taken shape here in Washing ton at Asbury NJ E. church where twen- ty designated official representatives of religious denominations and agencies en- gagged in religious work among the ne- groes have gathered to consider the spir- itual, moral intellectual and social prog ress of the race and to make arrange ments for a monster gathering of the en- frightened young negro men and women in the summer of 1902 This meeting will be known as the Negro Young People, 8 Christian Congress.
 Bishop Wesley Gaines, Atlanta, Ga, was elected president of the movement; Dr. w. D. Isaacs, Nashville, vice presi- dent; Prof I. Garland Penn, Atlanta corresponding secretary; Rev. R. W. Ar nett. Springfield, Ills. assistant secre- tary; Rev. W. M. Alexander, Baltimore treasurer.
 An executive committee, which will have charge of all arrangements has been appointed, consisting of the officers and the following members:
 Bishop R. s. Williams. Augusta, Ga. ; Bishop c. W. Clinton, Charlotte, N. C; ; Rev. 8. N. Vass, Raleigh, N. C.; Bishop c. T. Shaefer, Topeka, Kan; Rev. D. J. Sanders, Charlotte, N C.; Rev. J. L. Thomas, Washington. D. C.; Rev. L. C. Davis Pratt City. Ala.
 During the preliminary session here greeting to the negro was drafted, which after congratulating the negro upon the progress he has made since his enamel patton. says:
 Wisdom suggests that In this first year of the new century the sensible ne- gro admits the shortcomings of his race as well as emphasizing the marvellous results achieved and the hopeful signs of the future
 Helped as we have been by the good people of the North and South, encour- aged by frtneds everywhere. inspired by race examples of the most marvellous character. in well nigh every avenue of life as we'll as stimulated to succeed by the thrusts of our enemies, rather than discouraged, we find ourselves at the door of new century with thousands of unreached members of the race with alarming indifferent class of young peo- pie as to their own spiritual, moral, so- cial and intellectual awakening, with a still more alarming class of a criminal character whose deeds are deplorable and the reports of which surprise and shock every true, enlightened man and woman of the nation.

The Criminal Neuro.

The unreached negro of little culture of no practical piety. and loaded with evil appetites, which have their origin ir former conditions and which heredity has given him is the criminal negro and must be reached, and good people every where will help to reach him, but the most conspicuous and far-reaching work must be done by the thousands of young men and women of the race trained in schools and reared in good families and to this work we must and hope to in this effort speedily address ourselves. That a concerted movement of this character be begun, the undersigned, by official ap- pointment, representing every church and well nigh every agency at work along religious, moral and intellectual lines issue this call for the mass convention oi the negro, to be known as The Negro Young Peoples Christian Congress" with a view to a general awakening of the youth of the race to the importance, to the vast missionary work to be done at once at our doors.
 "The negro has no idea of leaving America That may be understood once for all If he Is to stay and some or many commit crimes, the result of vicious capacities and idleness, which forces itself to the front, it should be understood that lynchinR and mobs will not stop it any more than courts of justice can entirely eliminate crime.
 ITO save the unreached negro and stor criminality so deplorable, the remedy to be applied Is Christian education, Christ ian training and practice, and to this end every enlightened negro man and woman should speedily enlist himself. Hence this call for the Negro Young People, s Christian Congress for the summer of 1902 The place to hold such monster meeting will depend upon the liberality of tho people, ability to entertain the hots and friends.
 .The general theme of the programme will be reaching the unreached negro the race for Christi

Of the eighty-one Representatives who retire from the House on Monday. John J. Lentz of the Twelfth (Columbus) Ohio district. can best be spared. He served two terms and has never been popular, even on his own side. His chief ambition In life seems to have been to be as mali cious, pestiferous, offensive and irrespon- sible as possible. He is the prototype of Pettigrew in the Senate, except that he lacks Pettigrew's ability and then Petit grew. despite his record, has some agree able characteristics. As far as Lentz is concerned 1t has been impossible to find
 any redeeming feature. The wonder is
 ttat John J. Lentz has been able to keep Governor Nash of Ohio as his law part

En- tering Congress, he seemed to feel it his duty to misrepresent and blackguard the President whenever possible. His tirades

YANGER-w INVITE MILL.
Number Of Rounds All That Keeps
Them Apart,

Chicago, Oct. 10-Benny Yanger, the
Upton Slasher, and Tommy White may
meet in a limited round contest, to be
decided some time this month. The
Twentieth Century Athletic club at De-
troit is eager to secure them and has
offered so per cent of the gross receipts
as. an inducement- White has accepted
and his manager has posted $3.50 with
Malachy Hogan, the clubs representa-
tive and referee, as a guaranty that
they Will fulfill their part of the agree
ment- White has offered to match on
hangers terms, 126 pounds ringside,
but the Yanger party are holding out
in hopes that a longer contest can be
arranged.
Hertz is in negotiation with St Louis,
where he would prefer to have the bat
tie decided on account of the fact that
the men will be compelled to travel 10
rounds.
In a contest of ten rounds White
cunning into play, and would in all
probability have enough the better of
the argument to secure the verdict of
the referee, despite the fact that the
weight would handicap him consider
ably. This is the prevailing opinion,
and Hertz is a strong supporter of it.
On the other hand, should they travel
10 or 20 rounds Yanger would have an
excellent chance of wearing down his
opponent by continually forcing the
fighting and making Whites body the
principal point of attack Tommy's
tantahzing left would work havoc Wits
Benny'S features while his strength
was there to back it UP, but in a drawn
out contest and the weight in question
it looks as though hangers chances
would be much brighter.

SUES FIT. SCOTT.
Farmer Wants $4,000 For Falling
Into an Excavation.

Fort Scott. I1as.. Oct. 1o.-The first
jury trial of a civil case tried this term
was the case Of William Elliott, d
young farmer living near Hepler,
against the city of Fort Scott, an ac-
ton to recover $4,000 damages for al
legged personal injuries sustained by a
fall. A year ago last April Elliott was
in town, and while walking on the east
side of Walker street. opposite Ira
Travis livery stable, he fell into the
deep excavation on to a pile of rocks
and broke his leg, and for this the
prosecution is attempting to recover
damages. The city claims that Elliott
alone was responsible for the injuries
that resulted. The city is attempting
to prove that when the plaintiff was
wandering around on Walker street he
was there for unlawful purposes. The
plaintiff to offset this attempted to
show by cross-examination that the
city legalized these places by accepting
monthly fines in the form of licenses
but the court held that if such evidence
was permissible the proper time to
present it was in rebuttal.

woodmau at Hiawatha.

HiaWatha, Oct. 10.-The Woodmen log
rolling was the best ever held in this
city. Ten thousand people were present
from the surrounding country. During
the fireworks display two boxes caught
fire on the platform, exploding $500
worth of fireworks. None of the men
who were doing the firing was injured.
Among the features of the Woodmen
log rolling was a football game between
the ST. Joseph Medics and the local
team. The game resulted in favor of
the local team: score, % to 0. The ST.
Joseph team was outclasSed at every
turn. Clark, of Hiawatha, made a
splendid run from Hiawatha's 5-yard
line, scoring a touchdown. He was
followed by a similar run by Buchler,
also of the Hiawatha team. The game
was witnessed by 5000 people.

Seven Men Are Placed in Jail
at Winfield.
Believed That Montgomery's
Murderers Are Caught.
HEAVILY HANDCUFFED
Detectives Say They Robbed a
Freight Car at Wichita.
But Santa Ee Officials Deny q
Car Was Broken Into.

Winfield, Kan, Oct. 10.-Santa Fee De-
tectives John Law and Stubs brought
in seven suspicious looking men from
the south last evening. They were heav-
lily handcuffed, and when they arrived
were loaded into a wagon and the horses
driven to the Jail on a run. Law says
they were arrested for breaking into
freight car at Wichita. Santa Fe Off
ellis at Wichita deny that car has been
broken into. These men are supposed
to be the murderers, or connected with
the murder, of Detective Montgomery,
and Laws story, it is thought, was
simply to throw off suspicion and quiet
the mob, which soon gathered at the
Jail The sheriff's office will say abso-
lutely nothing. The Jail was dark last
night, not a light being shown. The
doors were locked and guards are sta
toned in and around the jail to chal-
lenge all approaching. Everybody here
is confident that the officers have the
murderers. The county commissioners
of Cowley have offered 5000 for the ar
rest of the murderer.
The murder of G. G. Montgomery, of
the Santa Fe secret service, Saturday
night, makes the second Santa F'e Off
Cial to be nySteriOuSly murdered here
within the last eight months and is the
third recent murder for which no one
has yet suffered.
About eight months ago when the con-
ductor of the midnight freight went to
the window of the Santa Fe depot for
orders he discovered the body of Night
Operator D. c. Coates lying in a pool
of blood. He saw everywhere signs of
an awful struggle-chairs overturned,
tables broken and the walls literally red
with blood. The mans face was drawn
with fright and pain, plainly showing
that he had made a strong fight for his
life. The body was still warm when
found. The cash drawer had been
broken into and the money taken. The
motive was purely robbery and the sup
position is that the murderer had tried
to make Coates open the large safe but
the station agent says that Coates did
not know the combination.
The second mysterious murder is that
of G. L. Wiltberger, a wealthy farmer
residing in this city, but owning farm
near here. He was shot and instantly
killed April IS last while returning
to his farm after selling load of wheat,
receiving in payment two checks. The
crime was committed at o'clock in the
afternoon on main Travelled road, the
murderer standing SO close to the old
man that the neck and hair was powder
burned. The gun used was a 44-caliber
revolver, the bullet striking the back
of the neck, coming out his eye.

New York, Oct. 1O.-Jfm Corbett, the

championship, he said very frankly, II

strength and knowledge of the game.
What are you going to do with a fell
low that weighs 225 pounds? He stands
and punches when he sees you punch,
and sometimes is bound to COP you.
Now, Rubin is a strong, husky fellow,
but ne is not heavy enough for Jeffries.
and is not clever enough to keep away.
No man, don't care who he is, can
make an aggressive fight against JEFF

that's what 1 did for 20 rounds, wasn't
it? Why, thought 1t was piped for me.

Franklin, head of the physical chem
istry department at the University OF
Kansas, has received the first ship
ment of apparatus for the liquid air
plant to be erected at the university
1t will be one of four such plants in
educational institutions of the United
States.
Within two months the chemistry
department will be manufacturing
liquid air at the rate of two quarts an
hour 1t will pc used in the instruc-
ton of classes and for research and in
vestigation. The plant will consist OF
one 25-horsepower motor, receiving its
power from Fowler shops. One COM
presser will compress air at the rate
of 20 cubic feet a minute to 5000
pounds q square inch, or one-half the
pressure in the explosive box of a long

New York, Oct 10.-If nothing goes
amiss Harry Harris, of Chicago. will
make a return visit to England and
meet Ben Jordan for the 124-pound

ago Charley White, who formerly man
aged Tom Broderick, of Yonkers, re-
