soon the street was checked with an
CRY people, who shook threatening
fists at the Confederate flag and in
Weighed most bitterly.
Alarmed by the gathering that was
swelled every moment and that direct
ed its wrath again his home, Theodore
Roosevelt sought the cause that had
stirred the people to anger. He was
not long in finding 1t. Fierce acclaim
directed his gaze, which rested upon
the fluttering emblem of the south.
The Roosevelt nature has never
quailed before a crowd. Theodore, the
elder saw that imminent danger could.
probably be averted only through his
persuading his wife to remove the OBJ
jectionable flag. With a word to the
crowd, he left, entering the house and
finding his wife He told her what she
already knew-that the anger Of the
mob had been excited by her indiscreet
display of her colors, and that 1t would
be we'll for her to take in the flag.
ST shall not DO So" declared the
mother of the president. THE flag is
mine; the boudoir is mine. / love the
flag, for it represents my native land.
No rufian hand shall invade the pri-
vacy of my boudoir to drag down that
flag, nor shall ruffian shouts force me
to remove 1t from the window of
room that is wholly mine. Explain to
them that am southern woman;
that love the south. DO anything you
Iilre excaDt touch that flag 1t shall not
come down."
And It did not. Theodore Roosevelt
went again to face the crowd. He
made a speech, dwelling with f1nesse
upon his wifes love for her own land
and moulding the mob to his will and
to an Indulgence of Mrs. Roosevelt in
her desire to fly the flag of her beloved
south.
The crowd dispersed, but the story
remains to show a maternal quality
that has made a president.

A PERsIMMoN HUNT
ON THE JAMES RIVER.


Intermixed with the distress and suffer-
ing of our heroic soldiers and people dur
ing the civil war were many amusing and
curious incidents.
One day, late in the year 1854, the oppos-
ing picket lines being near each other,
north Of the James river, but concealed
at one point by intervening woods. one OF
the Union soldiers asked permission from
his officer to go out to a persimmon tree,
a short distance in front of their line, to
gather some persimmons.
Taking a tin cup in his hand TO put them
in. he sauntered in the direction Of the
tree, arrived at 1t and turned and made a
dash for our line as fast as his legs could
carry him. He fell in a swoon as he reach
ed our line. still holding on to the tin cup.
1t so happened that General Lee was rid
ing slowly and alone along the picket line,
arriving at that point the moment the
deserter did, so that when he swooned
and fell forward his head almost touched
the forefoot of General Lees horse.
General Lee stopped until the soldier was
revived and raised to his feet, which was
quickly done.
He then asked the deserter one or two
questions in low tone of voice and rode
slowly on.
of course the soldier knew nothing about
General Lee being out on the picket line.
but to those of us who had seen General
Lee coming. It appeared that he was max
ing such haste towards us in order to
reach us before General Lee would pass
the point
This incident, occurring. as it did. on
the picket line considerable distance
from the main line, was witnessed by
very few.

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

TRENTON, N. j., Sept. 1.-THE sub
committee appointed Wednesday by the
Republican state committee to prepare
platform for submission to the guber-
material convention was in session until
nearly o'clock this morning. The COM
mittee submitted the resolutions to State
Chairman Franklin Murphy who will be
nominated for governor.
Mr. Murphy. gave his approval and the
platform viii be adopted without opposi-
ton.
The following is the platform:
THE blow which ended the life Of our
beloved president was cruel. inhuman and
lawless 1t was aimed, not at the gentle
and lovable Mckinley, but at the repub-
lie and the majesty of law which guar
antees liberty of person and safety OF
property Any doctrine which justfhes or
encourages assassination is utterly hos
tile to civil station and the welfare OF
mankind and must be no longer tolerated
in this country and we demand and in
sist that laws, state and national be
enacted for the effective suppression OF
such teachings.
The pledge of President Roosevelt that
he will continue absolutely unbroken the
policy of President Mckinley has our un>
qualified approval and commends our
loyal support.
IF continued in power the Republican
party pledges itself to guard the sources
of income Of the state and to use the
surplus thereof for the further reduction
of the rate of local taxation, the enlarge
rnent of our school system. the extension
of our good roads, the benefit of our agri-
culture and our industries and the com
mon interest and welfare of the whole
people.
The convention was called 70 order
shortly after noon by Senator 2. G.
Stokes. of Cumberland county.
There were 500 delegates. All OF the
party leaders were here except United
states Senator Newell. who, on account
of illness, missed his first convention in
26 years.

AwaItlna q coneIIIatory TarIff.

Europe. wants to enter our markets more
freely, and 1t has been resenting the high
tariff wall that wo have raised against
her. She has shared something of the feel
Ing of the tariff reformers here at home
when they think of the practice Of some
protected manufacturers who sell their
goods abroad at lower prices than they
charge at home. And they have been in
clined to regard q tariff system under
which that was possible as a sort Of gov
eminent subsidy against which 1t was i'm
possible for them to compete. So they are
watching eagerly for signs Of change
of policy here.

From the fathers side may have
come some of the blood that gave
President Roosevelt his indomitable
spirit, but certain it is that the ma
ternal branch was rich in that quality
that marked the Bullochs of Georgia
for their resolution, pertinacity and
strength of will. No better exponent
of those traits could be found than
Martha Bulloch Roosevelt, the mother
of the president, says the Savannah
Morning News.
Not long after the civil war Mrs.
Roosevelt was on visit to Savannah,
where she had many friends. She was
a Georgia woman of distinguished an
cestry. the Bulloch family being one
of the best in the state, and its distinc-
ton in the. highest positions. 1t was
but natural, therefore, that she should
have been well received upon her visit
to this city, and that there should
have been rare pleasure to her. and UNI
reconstructed rebel" in her inter-
course with her own people, those who
had fought and bled upon the field Of
battle or fought the greater fight Of
waiting and watching.
Reunion with her southern friends,
after the years OF the war that she
had spent at her home in New York,
was a pleasure to Mrs. Roosevelt. and
It was with the keenest relish that she
recounted stories of the times and OF
the trials that she suffered in the city
of her adoption through her unswerv-
ing loyalty to the cause of the south
a cause in which one brother, Irvine /.
Bulloch, fought as an officer aboard
the cruiser Alabama. and which an
other brother represented at Eng
lands capital city. One of these stories
clearly revealed the character of the
woman and leaves little difficulty in
determining whence the president gets
some of those qualities that have tend
ed to his preferment.

TESTIMONY IS VILE.
Continuation of the Trial of the
 Jacksons.

JackS0nS.
 London, Oct. 1Z-The hearing of the charges against Theodore and Laura Jackson (Ann Odelia Dis DeBar) was continued today. The police court was crowded, number of women being among those present, while the police found 1t necessary to clear the sidewalk of those anxious to obtain admission and hear the most noisome testimony ever given publicity in a London court.
 The witness examined today was Daisy Adams, mere child, wearing a red Tam OShanter cap, and with her hair in curls hanging down her shoulders. She testified that she was enticed to London under the promise of being taught music.
 Laura Jackson continued tc conduct the case for the defense. She was clothed in soiled, bedraggled white silk toga. The woman evidently had a powerful in fuence over the Adams girl, and leaned over the dock and gazed fixedly at the witness, evidently with the hope of int midating her or of re-establishing her hypnotic influence. But the girl frus- trated the effort by turning her back to the female prisoner and looking at the judge. Then tiring of her effort, Mrs. Jackson demanded a chair. and seating herself in a corner of the dock interrupted the witness with irrelevant question and objections until the court ordered her to desist
 The testimony, which was of the vilest character, related to the indignities which the witness suffered at the hands of the male prisoner. while she was neophyte of the Theocratic University, under the promies that she would become a reincar- nation of the Virgin Mary.
 The witness testified that she was so fully under the prisoners influence at the time that she believed his claims of Divine percentage. Revolting practices were exercised, both when they were alone and in the presence of Mrs. Jack son.
 At the close of the morning session Mrs. Jackson demanded of the court the return of the money taken from the pri- soners by the authorities when they wehe arrested, but the court refused to grant the request
 Mrs. Jackson also referred to William T. SteadS recent repudiation of any knowledge of the prisoners and called him that redoubtable pro- Boer" and said De- tective Inspector Kane possessed half 6 dozen letters which had been written by | MT. Stead to the accused.
 On one occasion Mrs. Jackson held the | girls hand while the misconduct occurred After Daisy Adams had learned of the | experiences of the other girls she told Jackson that it was wrong for him tc | have so many wives. He retorted with | scriptural illustrations, saying that Solo. mon had 300 wives and six hundred "other l wives"
 During the presentation of the evidence 1 Mrs. Jackson interrupted the witness | saving: Did I ever give you immoral | advice?"

no importance except as showing the track of the bullet. The diseased condi- tion of the heart muscles shows why the pulse was so frequent and why 1t did not respond to stimulation at the criti- cal time. The report of the bacteriolo- gist, Dr. verman- c. Matzinger. Is largely what the doctors call negative" 1. e.. it concerns rather the absence of germs than their presence. As the result of an examination of various tissues and fluids removed, Dr. Matzinger concludes that ''the absence of known pathogenic bac- terfa, particularly in the gangrenous cav ity, warrants the conclusion that bacte- rial infection was not factor in the production of the condition found in the autopsy.
 A chemical analysis by Dr. Hill of the remaining bullets and of the contents o1 the cartridge chambers in the murderer pistol showed that there was no poison. ous material. thus disposing of the theory of poisoned bullet.

 The British had surprised several camps. The Boers are now in the habit of shifting camp by night. Lately the British columns after long night marches have arrived at their objective only to find the Boers gone. British columns penetrating Orange River Colo ny miles from the railway find fields of maize or freshly plowed lands, the Boers making off at their approach and re- turning when the columns pass on. The herds on the high veldt still seem to be numerous. The Boers are living on cat tie and mealies stored in out of the way DlaceS

The purpose of the corporation is to develop and utilize Elba's unsurpassed water power in the establishment of an electric heht plant. a cotton factory and other manufacturing concerns.
 The Democrats of Coffee are manifest ing very little interest in the approaching election for the ratification of the new Constitution. Nothing has been done by the County Executive Committee looking to an endorsement of the instrument. While it is believed that large major ity of the Democrats of the County are in favor of It's ratification the Populists and negroes are all opposed to it. Unless the people become more interested than they now seem to be very light vote will be boiled.

FIRST STEP TAKEN.
Hill-Morgan Consolidation Deal
 Progressing.

Burlington, Ia. Oct 17.-What is be- lieved to be the first tangible move in the Hill Morgan deal for the consolida- ton of Northwestern roads was taken here when articles of incorporation for the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company were filed in the Coun- ty Auditors office.
 The capital stock of the new company is $1OO, GOO, ,OO0 and it's object. as set forth in the articles of incorporation, is to ac- quire the Burlington system and other roads and to maintain a railroad in the States of Illinois, Iowa, Missouri, Kan sas, Nebraska, Colorado, Wyoming, South Dakota. Montana, Wisconsin and Minne- sota The life of the corporation begins October 19, 1901, and will continue for fifty years, with the principal place of busi- ness in Burlington. Ia. It is said that the corporation will take charge of the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company and the many lines leased and controlled by that company. and then transfer them all together to the Hill Morgan syndicate.
 The new corporation Is legally entirely separate from the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company. The old company Is incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois, while the new one is controlled by the laws of the State of Iowa. There is but one change in the name of the company, the old one Is a railroad" company the new a railway" company.
 The incorporators, J. c. Pesaley, J. NJ Deering J. D. Cornell, w. w. Bald win and F. NJ. Shelton. met in Chicago Tuesday and formed the articles of in corporation. but nothing was then given out about the matter. The same papers will be filed in the Secretary of States office at Des Moines.
 The first meeting of the incorporators of the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy Railroad Company will be held in Bur Iington. The new incorporators will probably meet on Saturday and eelct of ficers and the steps contemplated for talk ing control of the Chicago Burlington and Quincy Railroad by the new company may then be disclosed.
