Lynn, Mass, April 23.-Two Lynn

disappearance and killing of Father
Augustin, Catholic priest, at Bolo.
He says 1t was reported that Father
Augustin knew where insurgent gold
was buried. Men from Company d
captured him in December, 1900. and
dressed him in uniform of the United
States artillery He was then taken
to Banato and kept in a we'll. He re-
fused to tell where the gold was bur-
led, and on the night of Dec. he
was taken to house formerly occupied
by the presidente of the village. On
his arrival there, Bertrand says. the
water cure was given him by the wa

The men proceeded to get nearly all
the water out of him, but he did NOT
revive. The men became frightened
and a surgeon was sent for. His serv
ices proved unsuccessful, and the priest
died, Bertrand says.
According to Labelle, when Company
d was out on hike while stationed at
Dungas in July, 1900, the men were or
dered to burn everything and to see
that no grown person escaped.
This, Labelle says, the men proceed
ed to do. Labelle and Bertrand saw
that while at Dungas the soldiers came
to a hut where a native woman had
just given birth to a child. The hus-
band was made a prisoner and woman
and child were dragged from the house
and left on the ground. The native
shack was then burned but LabeIe

English hardly dreamed yield their
golden harvest to fill the granaries of

blessings of civilization to the jungles
of Africa and makes the islands of the

China and Japan and other far-off
lands have come to learn of her the

of the world are turned toward her in
every time of doubt and danger. When

who reads in days to come the story

doubt the miraculous victories of Gods
chosen people over their enemies, re-
corded in the Book of Books. But glo-
rious as is her past and present, it
is our privileges to make her future
greater. This is the day of united eff

to England and America the world

begun to be answered by America:

vultures of greed and avarice and dis
regard for law, corruption in politics,
and love of power and place, are how
ering over our fair land. The enc

than those of war. The victims of the
legalized sale of that enemy, which
your great poet has said Men put into

away are more by thousands than war
or pestilence sweep away.
1.-The loss in productive power, and
men, and home comforts, and happi

honor and craftsmanship are the dan
gers that Turk about us. Not enemies
without, but enemies within, are what
we have now to fear.
America welcomes to her liberty and
her freedom all of every nation and
cline who truly seek it's blessings, but
let them know that liberty is not Ii
cense to so use ones own as to injure
his fellow, but rather that freedom i'm
poses greater obligation.
You are. bound by all the ties of
kinship and brotherly sympathy to see
that America does not fail in giving to
the world that for which it has so long
strained it's weary eyes, and stretched
out it's empty hands.
Let US, shoulder to shoulder, take
up the march and lead the van, not
wavering in our faith, but trusting in
the God of nations.

Americans Pride.
Mr.. Travis said that he would
speak not alone of the Scotch and
Irish patriotic societies. Americas
history has been comparatively short,
but her patriotic societies and to all
her sons, the noble course of their
fathers he said is their dearest hertz
age. Whether to their great leader,
Washington or to the humblest Con-
tinental in the ranks, the American
would point with unfaltering pride.

Mr.. Travis. "As short as has
been their history, nearly every
hill and dale has been made sacred

Broughton street. were wont to gather
the Sons of Liberty. But few blocks
away, the gallant Pulaski fell and
there, too, Jasper poured out his life

AMERICA, ENGLAND's DAUGHTER.
MFR. w. b. Stubbs' Response to the
Land of Liberty. r

MFR. w. b. Stubbs' Response to the
Land of Liberty.
Mr.. w. B. Stubs responded to the
toast, America"
Every Englishman should be proud
of America-of her past achievement,
of her present glory. and of her pros
poets for the futures" said Mr..
Stubs. Americas triumphs are the
national evolution of those traits of
character and principles of government
that England alone stood for in the
past. True America is England's
daughter, rearing a family of stalwart
sons and daughters whose imaginations
have a wider sweep, whose ambitions
soar to loftier nights, whose field of
labor is broader, and whose mission
to mankind is to teach a truer liberty
and a nobler citizenship. Your own
immortal poet laeureate has we'll ex-
pressed the sentiment that ought to fill
the breast of every true Englishman,
when he says:
Gigantic daughter of the West
We drink to thee across the flood;
We know thee, and we love thee best,
For art thou not of British blood?
Should wars mad blast again be blown,
Permit not tnou the tyrantS powers
To fight thy mother here alone,
But let thy broadside roar with ours
America furnished England the OPP
portunity to illustrate to mankind the
law of the survival of the fittest, and
show that English Drawn and English
brain, English law and English re-
ligion could prove it's superiority in a
free-for-all fight for supremacy.
Ameria taught England that the
daughter who espouses eternal truth
and stands for larger liberty controlled
by law, has divine right to break
away from the heavy errors of home,
even at the expense of parental an
ger for a season.
America taught England that the
liberty and law she coveted for Eng
Iishmen is the rightful heritage of
every man whose face is turned toward
the light of civilization. America has
shown that the fertile fields and the
humming factories and the busy stores
of the wonderful island are but a
foretaste of the. vast harvests and
manufactures and commerce that the
Anglo-Saxon is destined to contribute
to the worlds progress. When the
crowned heads of the world count it
honor to be her guest, her ministers
of God speak to listening millions, and

though late in the evening the
response lost none of its brightness be-
cause of being late. 1t was hap
py effort and was applauded all the
way through.
In rising to respond to the
sentiment, Mr.. Travis said that
all things of the present seem
to have their prototype in the past.
I'VE can see in the history of our
common ancestors, now some fifteen
hundred years ago." he said, those
early beginnings of the ties of coun-
try and race which form the basic
principle of societies like yours. When
the Engle, the Saxon and the Jute
abode as neighbors, with common
blood, common speech and common So
cial and political institutions, we may
see in the blood bond which united
kinsmen of the same house first exem-
plified the remarkable love of race
which from time out of mind has been
displayed by Ango-Saxons, and which
gives the tie which binds together
those of common folk in your patri-
otto societies. There Harling was
wont to abide by Harling and Billing
by Billing, and each wick or stead or
ham or tun took its name from the
kinsman who dwet together in it,
With them, custom and law bound each
to protect the other against wrong and
to suffer with and for each other if
wrong was done by one of their house.
Side by side, they wrought in peace;
shoulder to shoulder they fought in
war.
Love of Race And Country.
THUS it was in the early days and
thus it ever will be with our race. Upon
a thousand battlefields. it has been this
love of race and country which has
strengthened the warriors arm and
nerved the patriots heart Whether at
Hastings or Yorktown, whether among
the rough and rugged crags of Scot
land or in the green clad valleys of
Virginia, whether storming with Wolfe
the rocky nights of Quebec, or crush
ing with Drake the fleet of the Spanish
invader, it has been this which has
made the Anglo-SaXon warrior almost
invincible.
MY distinguished friend" said Mr..
Travis, turning to Judge Barrow, has
spoken only to you of the unity of the
Anglo-Saxon race. Its unity has been
largely due to this racial love for ma
tional kinsfolk. Only a few years ago,
for instance, when Emperor William
had sent his message to Kruger in
South Africa encouraging him to fight
England, and Cleveland had delivered
his Venezuelan message which was in
terpreted abroad as a challenge to
fight, a famous Scitch divine was
preaching to congregation of Scotch
Presbyterians, than whom, as you
know, no people are more devoted and
none less demonstrative. When I
said tells the Scotch divine, that un-
der no conditions would the people OF
Great Britain fight their kin in the
United States and II there was to be

cans, there was wild applause; but

Judge Barrow's Happy Response 10

the First Toast
Judge Barrow's speech was a charac-
teristic and happy one. He regretted.
he said that his response to such
dull subject must of necessity be dull
itself. 1t is always a dull subject, he
said when one parades his family his
tory. Judge Barrow said that he
boosted the pure unadlterated blood
of the Anglo Saxon in his veins and
for that reason he could say what he
chose about English people without

lie traced the migration of the Anglo
Saxon from the shores of East Fries
land and Juteland on the coast of the
German Ocean to the shores of
Kent and to Normandy, and
told the story in his own original way
of the conquest of Britain. Then he
followed the same Anglo-Saxon across
the Atlantic to Plymouth Rock and
planted him on American soil, where
ne rules to-day from the Atlantic to
the Pacific and to the banks of the
Rio Grande.
Judge Barrow gave a characteristic
analysis of the character of the Anglo
Saxon. One of his habits he said, is
that of taking whatever he wants when
he sees it, whether the other fellow
is willing or not. and he is built so
that he generally gets it.

people, and are likely to help our

life the early Anglo-SaXon led on the
shores of Friesdand and Juteland, and
which is instilled in his blood and char
acter and will remain there as long as
the Anglo-Saxon race survives. Judge
Barrow's response was received with
a round of applause.
