KILL OFF WHITES.
"A Fanatical semi-Religjous Society
of Southern Negroes.

"A rAhAtlcsAl Sem1-1teJ1EJONS Society
of Southern Negroes.
New Orleans, June 22.-The explana-
ton offered for the lynching of Prophet
Smith and F. D. McLand, the negroes
lynched by the mob in Bosieer parish,
La, is that they were the leaders of a
negro malta, a fanatical semi-reigious
society which had in view the murder
of whites, and that Foster, who was
killed by Prince Edwards, was formal
ly and officially selected by the society
to be murdered. The name of the Or
ganizaticn is the Church of the Living
God, and it was organized at Houston,
Tex, with Prophet Frank Smith as it's
head under the title of worthy shep-
herd. McLand was worthy treasurer,
and Edwards, who killed Foster, and
for whom the mob is still searching,
with the intention of lynching, was
worthy secretary.
eliminated in LynchinS.
Nearly year ago the negroes COM
prising the Church of the Living God
to the number of 100, moved from
Texas to the Foster plantation at once;
Smith remained in Shreveport, where
he was very successful in securing con-
verts He was finally ordered to leave
Shreveport by the chief of police Of
that city on the ground that his SER
mons We're infiammatory and tended to
cause trouble between negroes and
whites. From Shreveport the prophet
moved to the Foster plantation, where,
being surrounded by his congregation,
he was all powerful, and the trouble
which eliminated in his lynching was
precipitated. The religion prea ched by
Prophet Smith was wild fanatical
| one, based on the book of Revelation.

TERRIBLE AVALANCHE.

Great Sections of n Mountain Slide
Down Into the Valley.
Keyser, w. Va, June 20.-An ava
lanche unparalleled in the West Vir-
ginia mountains occurred last night at
Hopeville, Grant county, thirty-eight
miles from here. Great sections of the
mountainside along the Potomac river
for two miles rushed down into the
beautiful valley. Thousands of tons of
forest trees, immense rocks and earth
came down, and the home OF Mrs. An
drew Ours, a widow, was completely
wrecked. The twenty-two-year-ol
daughter of Mrs. Ours was instantly
killed and Mrs. Ours is in a dying con
dition. A little grandchild who was
spending the night with Mrs. Ours was
grabbed by her when the first warning
came, but escape was impossible, and
when found the grandmother was bur-
led to her waist in the debris, holding
the child in her arms above the chilly
mud and stone in which She was
fastened so tightly that after many ef-
forts neighbors found it necessary to
literally pull the bruised boy out, leav-
ing his clothes buried. The child only
will recover.

DowAGER IS boss.
Anniversary of Siege Fines Her
Ruling China Ms of Yalre

Anniversary of Siege FinCs Her
Ruling China as of Yore
Pekin, June 22.-Yesterday was the
anniversary of the beginning of the
siege of the legations at Pekin. The
events that have happened during that
time still leave the dowager empress
with firm grasp on her power; her
former generalissimo, Jung Lu, is in
favor at the court; Gen. Tung Flu
Hsiang. who commanded the Chinese
troops and ordered them to attack the
foreigners is scot free; Prince Tuan,
the chief criminal in the Boxer upris-
ing. has received comparatively light
punishment and his son is still the heir
apparent to the throne. The perils Of
last year, the plotting of the court,
the dastardly outrages, the e6icts or
dering the
determination of Foreigners
and the pandemonium caused by the
Boxer uprising have been largely for
gotten. The savage attacks on the
various missions and the massacres of
innocent missionaries are ignored,
while commercial schemes are given
prc-eminence. The Chinese officials
are afraid that when the Chinese regu-
lars arrive here before the foreign
troops withdraw from the various sec
tons of the city there will be collisions
and troubles between the home and
foreign soldiers. The people are anx-
ious about the future as they see no
plan as yet by which the Chinese pro-
pose to control the bands of ruffians
who are ready to rob and plumber when
foreign guards are Withdrawn before
the Chinese are reinstated in control.

The dull pupil, to whom school prizes
have been only unattainable dreams,
has at last received some recognition.
"A teacher in the Boys High School of
Brooklyn has initiated the plan of CIV
Ing prizes, not for eminence of attain
ment, but for general improvement.
This method, instead of being based Cd
the pupils competition with his fell
lows, is grounded in his competition
with himself. 1t assumes that it is
more of an honor to gain prize for
STEADY improvement, which means
faithful and persistent work, than to
gain one for a high percentage OF
scholarship, which may be the result
of great natural ability. It is hoped
that the encouragement may lessen the
number of pupils nearly one-third-
who now drop out of the high schools
before the completion of the course

Washington, June 20. - The cabinet
yesterday considered the situation in
Port, Rico and the probable necessity
for the president at an early date issu-
Ing proclamation declaring free trade
between the island and the United
States. Gov. Allen has called a spe-
cial session of the Porto Rican legisla-
ture to meet July l. The legislature
at it's regular session enacted a new
revenue law, known as the Hollander
law, because it was drafted by Mr..
IIollander, the treasurer of the island.
He has so rcmodo1ed the revenue sys-
tenn of Porto Rico that the governor
was able to get along without calling
upon the president for any allotment
from the revenues collected In this
country on imports from Porto Rico.
and to-day the fund, which was set
aside for the benefit of Porto Rico,
amounts to more than 100000. The
United States treasury holds this
money in trust for Porto Rico.
