ROBBED MANY EXCURSIOSISTS
Supposed Thief Was Familiar Figure
Aboard Republic Ever Sunday

There was something of a sensation
on the steamer Republic yesterday as
she was about leaving Cape May Point
on her return trip when a number of
excursionists complained that the
pockets of their clothing in the bath
houses had been emptied while they
were bathing in the ocean. While COM
plants were being made in all parts Of
the steamer. Charles Crawford, a
Philadelphia, was a prisoner in the
captains cabin, and his pockets were
emptied of the stolen goods and money.
Crawford is said to have been a
regular Sunday eXcursionist on the
Republic, the officers of which have
received many complaints from people
who said their lighthouses had been
robbed. Yesterday the complaints were
unusually numerous.
Just as the gang plank was being
hauled in, prior to starting for Phila-
|delphia, Crawford became aware that
he was being watched, and attempted
to jump off the boat. He was caught
by e. NJ. Smith. of Lansdowne, one Of
tine victims, and when taken to the
captains room. where he was searched,
nearly all of the missing pocketbooks
money and watches were found upon
his person. He was kept a prisoner in
the cabin. and when the steamer
reached her wharf. at the foot of Arch
street. Philadelphia, he was placed
under arrest and taken to the Central
police station.

Should Not Testify in Court to
Their Degradation
SAYS ALL MEN ARR NOT EQUAL

Milwaukee, Wis Aug. 5.-A spe-
cial from Merinet,e, Wis, says. Uni
ted States Senator Benjamin f. Till
man. Of South Carolina, addressed a
large audience on the race question
from a southern standpoint. One OF
the features Of nis remarks was
plea in justification Of lynching
In Wisconsin you have 5000 black
men," said he. why don't you try
the bleaching process and exterminate
them by intermarrylng? The idea is
repugnant to you. In South Carolina
we have 100000 blacks and $4,000
whites The carpet baggers, the
Niger and the southern scallawags
and scoundrels ruled us after the war
until they had stolen everything that
there was in the state; then we went
with our shot guns to the polls and
took II away from 1hem. All men are
not created equal, and the 'niggers'
are not AZ to vote. Come what may,
the white people OF the south will gov
ern their own country"
He condemned Booker Washington's

industrial lines as an attempt to place
him on an equality with the white ar

race hatred in the south. He said
that among the 100000 slaves during
the civil war there were more Chris
tians tnan there are today among the
100000 blacks in the south.
II do not want to uphold slavery,
he continued. Il thank God there are
no slaves today under the Stars and
Stripes Mr. Tillman made an elo-
quent plea in justification of lynching
saying that southern women could not
be brought into court to testify to
their shame and degradation before O

Of the southern household and the
southern women and his remarks on
lynching were heartily applauded He
closed with an imprisoned statement

THE ONLY ENGLISH POPE.
Monument to Be Erected to Break
speare in Rome After Eight
Hundred Years,

At last the only Englishman who
ever sat on the papal throne seems
to be about to receive honor from his
own cOuntrymen, if not in his own
country. The project is now on foot
to erect monument in St. Peters to
Nicholas Breakspeare, Adrian w.,
which will be worthy of him and
England. The only other English
men who have a monument in the
Vatican Basilica are the two last
Stuart pretenders, who were COM
memorated in marble by the great
CanOva, but the genii who guard the
tomb offended the representative
modesty of Leo MI, who had them
draped, says a Rome correspondent
of the Pail Mall Gazette.
The site for the new monument has
not been mentioned, as the scheme is
as yet only scheme, started through
the enterprise of Mr.. Griselle, of Ok
ford, who hopes to raise sufficient
funds among English Catholics, espe-
cially those who are now on Pilgrim
age in Rome and those resident in
the Eternal City. The design of the
monument is already in existence,
having been made centuries ago, and
has waited all this time for some one
to execute it. The pontiff and &C.
clesiastical authorities look with
great benevolence on this project,
which really seems likely to be car
ried out.
Nicholas Breakspeare was most in
teresting man. He was born of poor
parents, in 100, at Langley, near St.
Adams, and, although he wished to
enter an English monastery, the re-
quest was refused. He then went
abroad and. rose from honor to honor
until, at the age of "a. he was elected
to the chair of ST. Peter. 1t was he
who conferred the sovereignty of Ire
land upon England, and it was he who
procured the execution of the cele-
brated Arnold of Brescia. To his ac-
count must be laid the beginning of
the long and bitter feud of the
papacy with the house of Hohen-
staufen. He had a personal struggle
with Frederick Barbarossa-who re-
fused to hold his stirrup for him to
mount his horse-which resulted in a
complete victory for the English
pope. In 1859, the quarrel having
gathered volume, he was about to ex-
communicate Frederick, when he
died, and Frederick thus escaped
what. at that time, was almost mat
ter of life and death.
And this man, to whom emperors
bowed, has had to wait 500 years for
his monument!

Few Birds in Texas Since Big Storm.
BY those who live in the rural dis.
tricts. as well as observing townspeo.
pie, the scarcity of birds since the Sep
TENDER storm is frequently the subject
of remark. Before the storm the wood.
around Brennan swarmed with birds OF
20 kinds and the town was literally
alive with English sparrows. There
are now very few OF the latter seen and
the chirp of bird in the swamp or
woodland is rarely heard. The gener.
ally accepted theory of their disappear
ance is that the smaller kinds were dis.
lodged from their perches by that
awful gale and beaten to death in the
brush and against the ground and trees.
In support of this theory it may be
said that the morning after the storm
hundreds of sparrows were dead in the
court house plaza here, and at the base
of every brick wall scores could be seen.
There is no doubt that they were blown
against the wall with sufficient force to
kill them.-Galveston News.

IRON ORE FIELDS RICH.

Development of iron ore deposits
of Washington will be commenced
this year. Iron of high grade has
been known to exist for many years,
but little attention has been given to
the subject because of lack of capital.
High officials of the Great North

matter. Lyon Case, the Minnesota
iron expert, was sent to the state last
spring and spent the summer investi-
eating the iron ore fields tributary to
the Seattle & Northern railway, re-

1t is stated that President Hill is
giving personal attention to the ques-

unusual inducement for such an en-
terprise.
