To hear old ben tillman talk, and
some others, too, one would be in
clined to believe the only rapists are
black men. Well, how about the
shooting and killing of Irene Buchter
, by her unnatural father, Clements
Buchter, at Louisville, KY, because
she would not submit to his brutal
desires.
Buchter fired twice, the bullets pass
ing through her head and neck. She
died almost instantly.
The girls mother, in trying to save
the girl, was shot through the hand.
Buchter was found skulking in the
woods later by the police and arrested.
About 400 people surrounded the
house when Buchter was captured, but
no effort was made to lynch him. In
Jail he refused to talk. The bullet
which passed through the mothers
hand entered the dead girls side.
We never heard of such case in
which a black man figured.

: No More Tips to Crou.pier...

The tip question bothers Monte:
Carlo, too, and as a result Of the laxity
due to giving and taking tips eight
croupiers have been dismissed and
other employees of the gambling estab-
lishment have been disciplined. IT all
came about through the dispute which
invariably arises when winnings are,
made by persons other than those con-.
nected with the house When the
wheel stops on a winning number ar,
gument begins as to who really pl1t
his money on that number, and the,
.croupiers naturally have been disin-
cl1ned to side against those who have
tipped them literally. The same IS the.
case when the dispute is left with the
presiding croupier. OF course the ag-
grieved player could go up higher and
appeal to officers superior to the cruu-
pier, but this course usually is dis
tasteful to gamblers. The spirit OF dis
satisfaction grew SO strong that some
thing radical had to be done, for the
bank wins from 81, 0O0 900 to SIS, 900 900
a year from the players, besides what
the players win from one another. Nat
.urally enough, the managers OF the
bank have decided to allow the crou-
piers to take no tips whatever from
any Of the customers. New York

by means of various instruments, the
most commonly employed being horns,
tomtoms, and whistles The horns are
of solid ivory, made by following out
elephants tusks. The mouthpieee is
at the side. These trumpets are Of all
sizes, but the favorite ones are very
long and give seven distinct notes, pro-
duced by plugging the mouth with
corks of various sizes. The ordinary
tomtom is a hollow log of wood, with
goatskin stretched over one end.
The following instance will illustrate
the way in which these native tele-
phones are employed: The post COM

by native Of neighboring village
that a provision train had been at

a point $50 miles further down the

and confirmed the story in part. They
had reached the scene Of the alleged
attack at the time reported, but the
shots which the natives had taken as
indications of conflict with robbers
had been fred at a herd of antelopes
More recently, when an officer of the
French Kongo came to grief in the
rapids, the accident. was reported the
next morning at village 1856 miles
distant. Among the Bengala tribe a
sort of xylophone is used with four
notes, by means of which the natives

The latest victim of the South to be
t1llmanized was Joe Washington, who
was burned to death near Savannah,
Ca, by mob more brutal than he
even If he was guilty of the crime
which he denied with his last breath,
and met his death without groan or
an appeal for mercy. And as the
press dispatches puts it, without a
shot having been: fired, without noise
and without undue excitement, they
dispersed. The tragedy. in which
Washington was the central figure
was enacted throughout with all the
semblance of decorum that it's charac-
ter would permit - s., 3. Hill S..

him, the Republican Guide of Bal

DR.. Bryant was 81 years old He
received the, degree Of doctor of medi-
cine in London, and was dean at one
time of the faculty of a college at
Nashville, Tenn. He was also a local
Baptist preacher. He came to Balti-
more about II years ago from a West
ern state, where he had been deputy
collector of internal revenue. He
brought letters of Introduction to sew
eral Republican leaders of this state.
He was an orator Of considerable abil-
lty, and became quite campaign
speaker
His first political speech here was
made at a Republican state convention
held in the Lyceum Theatre.
y He was district superintendent Of
street cleaning under Mayor Hoover,
and organized brigade Of street
sWeepers.
During the Spanish American war
he organized company of men Of
this city and was elected colonel Of
the command. He offered the serv-
ices of the men to President McKin-
ley, but the offer was rejected.
He also established school for
youths, for their practical instruction
and manual training.

Bryant's last public address was at

live in accordance with the standards

The devil, it seems, got into camp
meeting near Jackson, Ohio, last Mon
day. The presence of white persons
was resented, and when one Of the lat
ter got into a fight with an Afro,
American, general row ensued, in
which nearly 100 persons engaged.
The fight lasted, half an hour, when
the whites were forced to fee from the

the weapons used. More than a dozen

ABOUT INSECT Pests.
Men Fight Insects with Other Insects II
Hawaiian Islands. t..--

Men Fight Insects with Other Insects in
i. IN, Hawaiian Islands.
Few countries have suffered more
from the introduction of insect pests
than the Hawaiian islands. The two
chief products of these islands are
sugar and coffee, while a considerable
amount of fruit is also grown. Along
with the imported trees came their in
sect enemies, notably the scale insect
and the aphis. In the course of time
these increased SO prodigiously that
they threatened to destroy the indus
tries of the country. Man is doomed
to a constant struggle against nature,
and he is often compelled, so to speak,
to fight her with her own weapons.
So it was in this case. The trees were
being destroyed by insects; remedy:
import more insects. So in 1890 a cer-
tain ladybird (Vedalla cardinalis) was
sent over from Australia. It became
completely naturalized, and increased
prodigiously. feeding on the scale I'M
sects, which it soon reduced in num-
bers, until they. became comparatively
scarce. But there were other insect
plaques aphiCes and others of differ
ent orders The government therefore
employed naturalist to import more
insects These were brought from
Australia, and many of them have es-
tablished themselves and done good
service. One of the most useful is a.
ladybird which feeds on the aphides,
which had seriously attacked the sugar.
canes. It has done such good work
that there. is every prospect of the
canes being speedily cured.-Cham-
