BAD BLOOD AT JACKSONVILLE.
Takirs Are Mad. So Are the Fair
People and So Is the Gala Week
Crowd.

FaI<irs Are Mad, So Are the Fair
People and So Is the Gala Week
Crowd.
Jacksonville, Fla, Nov. 20.--While
the State Fair is progressing satisfac-
torily as far as the gate receipts and
exhibits are concerned, much bad feel
ing has been generated by an alleged
breach of faith on the part of the fair
managers regarding tent attractions
and side show features. The fact that
the streets of Jacksonville have been
practically given over to midway shows
ard exhibitions of various kinds has
caused a howl on the part of the show
men and fakivs who have paid round
Sums for the privilege of exhibiting in
side, the fair grounds. They feel that
they have been defrauded and are
much incensed over the matter as their
receipts have been materially affected
thereby.
AS a matter of fact the Fair man.
ayers are not to blame, but the ap-
pearance of the street shows is said to
be the outcome of a feud between the
officials of the Gala Week Association
and the Fair managers. 1t seems that
the Gala Week Association has, by its
charter, a right to one weeks use of
the streets for exhibition purposes,
and are, by their charter. obliged to
utilize their privilege in order TO main
tain the charter. The decision on the
part of the Fair Association to hold
the Fair here precluded the holding of
a gala week also in the minds of some
of the members of the Gala Week Com
nittee. A disagreement on this prop
osition resulted in the resignation OF
Fire Chief Haney, one of the active
members some months since. George
L. BAIL. president of the Gala Week
Association. was in favor of holding
a carnival, and while the State Fair
people were aware that a few shows
would be opened, it is claimed that the
show business on down town streets
has been largely in excess of an al
legged agreement with the gaia week
people. TINS Mr.. Bah1 dsntEs, and
claims that the Fair managers are 1T
fault.
A daily newspaper interested in the
Fair Association has made a savage
attack on the street shows as immoral
and has succeeded in having at least
one show closed by the police. The re-
suit has been a deal of bad blood over
the matter.
The State Society of Christian En-
deavor Associations will meet i'm con-
vention at the Fair grounds tomorrow
at 10 a. m.

TO USE uNFERMENTED WINE.
virginia Methodist Ministers Mas
still Use FobaccO.

Newport News, Va, Nov. 20.-The
Methodist conference of Virginia ap-
proved to-day two memorials asking
that unfermented wine be used at COM
muninon. The conference refused to
approve the memorial which designed
that no minister using tobacco be ad-
mitted to the conference, and that a
minister admitted and afterwards TAX
ing up the use of tobacco be treated
as having violated his ordination vows.
The board on publishing interests
reported that the report of Barbee and
Smith, general publishers, is mad
euuate to enable the conference to
form an opinion. The board recon-
mended that no opinion be expressed
by the conference.
The Publishers Censured.
The memorial calling for censure OF
Barbee and Smith, general conference
publishers, and for returning to the
United States government the money
received from the war claim" was
unanimously adopted at the afternoon
session. Memorials were also ap-
proved providing against admission to
the church of those divorced on any
but Seriptural grounds: providing for
the order of deaconnesses; providing
for coditication.

THE BONNIE JURY SECURED.
TAKING OF EVIDENCE WILL BEGIN
THIS MORNING.

District of Columbia Appears TO
Have It's Full Quota of Unintelli-
gent Jurors-Two Names Ordered
Removed From Jury Box-Many
Opposed to Capital Punishment
and Several TO Execution of Wo-
men--A Juror Who voted i'm
Maryland"
Washington. Nov. 2o.--At a few
minutes past o'clock to-day the jury
which is to try Mrs. Ida BONNIE on
the charge of numbering James Sey-
mour Ayres. Jr., the young census
clerk, was completed, and the court
then adjourned until 10 O'Clock to-mor-
row, when a presentation of the case
on behalf of the government Will be
made by the district attorney.
Mr. Douglass. representing Mrs. Bo-
nine, said after the court adjourned
to-day that he would reserve his open
ing until after all the witnesses for the
prosecution had been heard. 1t is ex-
pected, therefore, that the taking of
testimony will begin during the fore
noon session tomorrow.
The entire time of the court to-day
was given up to the completion of the
jury, and it was after O'Clock before
a single additional acceptable juror had
been secured. AN told, thirty-nine
talesmen were presented during the
day and out of this number only three
were accepted, nine of those left in the
jury box yesterday being retained. The
proceedings consisted of d dreary
round of questions intended to develop
the mental attitude of the would be
jurors on the questions of capital pun
ishment, circumstantial evidence and
prejudice for or against the defendant.
AS on yesterday a number of negroes
were He'd -sStlt all Of stfeii4-+IIeFe es-
cused, either for cause or upon the per-
emptory challenge of Mrs. Bonine's
lawyers. One of these created a ripple
of laughter in the courtroom by stating
in reply to questions that notwith-
standing Washington was his place of
residence he had been allowed to vote
in Maryland in the presidential cleo
tion of last fall, lRfng temporarily en-
ployed in that state.
Mrs. BONNIE Joined quietly in the
manifestations of amusement. When
the juror was permitted to take his
seat her counsel challenged him and
he was excused.
During the day Judge Anderson d.
rected that the names of two of the
men called for jury duty be taken
permanently from the jury box because,
he said the men evidently were unfit
for jury duty. One of these was
white man, who said that he had
reached a conclusion as to the merits
of the case, and the other negro,
who appeared very ignorant of all
questions. Quite a number of the men
called expressed themselves as opposed
to capital punishment. Probably half
a dozen stated that they were opposed
to the execution of women. The de-
Tense used only eleven arbitrary chal-
lenges, leaving nine of the number al
lotted to them unused.
The jury as finally agreed upon is
composed as follows: John d. Robin
son. coal agent; Walter J. Fry, coach
man; w. P. Colley, hotel manager;
w. L. Koontz. coal dealer: G. 3. Bury,
druggist; Cornelius j. Carmody, gro

| Thomas F. Keane, carriage maker;

Jacksonville Negroes Boycott Cars
Because of Separation Ordinance.

y
Jacksonville. Fla, Nov. 20.--C. 3.
BENEDICT, a member of the City Coun-
Gil and one of the leading merchants in
this city, has introduced an ordinance
TO repeal the ordinance recently passed
to clothe the street car motormen and
conductors with police powers to en-
able them to properly separate white
and colored passengers when condi-
tons seem to require it. The ordinance
met with strenuous opposition from
the colored people, and boycott has
been successfully enforced against the
street car company. The colored pop
ulation on whom the company depend
ed for a large share of its revenue,
have ceased riding on the cars and
there has just been incorporated a
coach company with a capital stock of
$1,000 for the purpose of equipping a
line OF coaches to operate in this city,
for the exclusive purpose of carrying
colored passengers at rate similar to
that charged by the street car COM
pany.
While there has been but compare
lively little violence, the determination
on the part of the negroes has. had
an effect not only on the car traffic.
but on business as well. Some of the
leading colored men claim that they
would not seriously oppose an ordi-
nance which would demand separate
cars, but to give conductors and mo-
tormen police powers and allow them
to forcibly eject persons occupying a
certain seat in a car to make room
for another is sure to bring about ra-
cial disturbances, which can only
eventually be disastrous to the negro.
Everything is quiet here but the situ-
alton is serious one to the street
railway company. and may result in
trouble at some future time. Mr. Ben
edict has taken a bold step in the in
PRODUCTION of repeal ordinance.

NO BOUNTY FOR VOLUNTEERS,
Reports to This Eject Are Entirely
Erroneous.


Washington, Nov. 2o.-Statements
have recently been made in a number
of papers saying that a bounty was due
to many Spanish-American war volun-
teers. Senator McLaurin has received
a number of letters asking about the
same. The following letter from the
auditor of the Treasury Department,
in reply to an inquiry, will show no
foundation for such a report:
"a special dispatch was published in
several of the leading daily papers on
or about Sept. %. 1901. in regard to an
alleged discovery of some old laws by
a Brooklyn lawyer, granting $S4 state
and 1892 federal bounties to soldiers for
services in the recent Spanish Aneri
can war, stating that it would cost the
estate about $4,000 900 and the federal
government about $5,000.000 1t was
also alleged that some thousands of
cases were before Attorney General
Knox at Washington for his decision,
and that the matter is expected to be
settled in about ten days.
This dispatch is very vague, and so
far as the United States is concerned
is incorrect and misleading. No such
cases are before the Attorney General
of the United States for his action or
decision.
Furthermore, no law has ever been
passed by Congress, granting any
bounties whatever to any soldiers for
service in the late Spanish American
war of 1893 and 1899. Certain laws
were passed giving extra pay to such
soldiers in certain cases, in lieu of a
furlough or leave of absence. But in
nearly all of such cases the soldiers
who were entitled to such pay have
been paid it.
1T is only necessary to say in con-
clusion that there is no foundation
whatever for any such statements as
set forth in said dispatch, SO far as
the United States are concerned, and it
is hoped that those interested in this
matter will not be induced to make
useless inquiries or file worthless
claims on account of such misrepresen-
tatiOn."

Thousands of Chronic Catarrh Pa
tients Under Free Treatment.

Wherever DR.. Hartman is known
the name of Peruna has become a
household word. 1t is safe to say that
no medicine in existence is used by
so many families as Peruna. This is
especially true of this time of the year
when the people are liable to catarrhal
affections, coughs. colds, la grape,
etc
Peruna has cured more cases of
chronic cdtarrh than all other medi-
cines combined. The great majority of
those who use IL buy the remedy them
selves, use it according to directions
not even reporting their case to DR..
Hartman until after they are entire
ly cured.
But now that a limited number of
cases can secure the personal attention
OF DR.. Hartman free of charge, it is
not to be wondered at that many prefer
to do so. Peruna never fails to cure
catarrh when properly used.

EASY FOOD,
Ready for Instant Use without
Cooking.

Almost everyone likes a cereal food
of some kind at breakfast and supper
but the ordinary way of cooking
cereals results in pasty mass that re-
qujres strong digestive power to get
along with. and If not properly digest
ed the raw mass goes down into the
intestinal tract where gas is generated
and all sorts of troubles set up.
Everyone knows that good food prop
erly digested keeps the body well
while poor food, or even food Of good
quality that is poorly prepared and not
digested, is sure to bring on some kind
of disease.
The easiest food to digest In this line
is Grape Nuts, made from wheat and
barley, and cooked thoroughly at the
factory. some ten or twelve hours be-
ing consumed in the different processes

THE CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
Trustees Make Statement as TO Dis
charge of DIR. Henebry.

Washington, Nov. 20.--A notable as
semblage of high Catholic prelates at
tended the annual meeting of the board
of trustees of the Catholic University
to-day. A feature of the proceedings
which were secret, was the discussion
of DR.. Henebry, who was dismissed re-
Gently from the Gaelic chair of the
university, and whose case attracted
widespread attention.
The board authorized the following
statement relative to Henebry:
The most careful consideration was
given to the recommendations of the
university faculty and senate relative
to Rev. DR.. Henebry's reappointment
as associate professor in Gaelic. The
board of trustees unanimously declined
to reappoint him. With equal unani-
nifty it declared it's intention of hold
ing sacred the trust committed to it
by the Ancient Order of Hibernians
and yields to no body of men in its
conscientious interest in all the pur-
poses OF this endowment. No thought
of diverting the earnings of the
a. o. Fl. chair to any 9TH
er teaching than that of Gaelic
has ever been or ever can be enter
tanned. The Right Reverend Rector
was instructed to make every effort to
secure as soon as possible, an instruc-
tor in Gaelic. who shall be engaged

The treasurer reported the trust
funds of the University at $S76.6S3, the
permanent properties of the University
aggregate $S6S,S79, and the assets of
the University as $131.374 making
total of $l,S71 1897. The total receipts
during the year amounted to $160,51l,
