Clever DcccDtion,

AIcNcr reception
Houses like Alitchell's, with tunnels
leading to places OF safety, We're COM
mon throughout the border States in
slavery days When the band of sher-
ifs would come In pursuit of the es-
Gaping negroes, with bloodhounds to
aid them, the people about the house
would resort TO clever eXpedient to
save whatever negroes We're there.
When the news of an approaching
posse reached the house the negroes
would be led to the river and then
back to the house, their tracks being
obscured by vilely-smelling turpentine.
There were twenty-seven stopping
places between Mitchell's and Ohio.
Mitchell was arrested at least half a
dozen times. Once he was taken to
Richmond, Va, where a mob wanted to
hang him. Another time he was taken
to Wythc County, where mob broke
into the Jail and took him out, but the
sheriff saved him just MS they were
putting rope around his neck.

COLLEGE COURSE MUST Be SHORTENED.
BY President Harper,

The feeling grows stronger in every quarter that
the college course at least for those who to

who are preparing for profession distinctly In

These are commodities that the miner
has to have to live, and 1t will be
noted that many of them have adj
vanced 100 per cent or more. Coal has
gone sailing skyward, but the men who
dug 1t get no advantage from that. Mr..
Cammack further says:
"These are the prices that the av-
erage workingman pays now and what
they had to pay in 1898. trust that
this statement may be Of service in
opening the eyes of the laboring men
of this country, so that they may vote
against the trusts and the party that
makes it possible for them to rob the
laboring men by charging them these
outrageous prices, and if they make
any complaint enjoin them from walk
ing on the earth"
1t is not surprising that with this
sort of sentiment developing among
the miners Senators Plat and Quay
have made an effort to induce the mine
operators to arDitrate the questions in
volyed. The time has come when the
common sense of the people revolts
against the eXactions of the divinely
constituted trustees of property who
operate the trusts.

SAILORS HAVE SERIOUS RIOT.
Indulging too Freely in Stimulants
They Cause Bloody Fight.

NEW YORK. Aug. 26.-Several sail
ors, who are said to have been indug-
ing too freely in stimulants, have caus-
ed a fight on Charles W. c. .)rexers
yacht, the Alcado, from Philadelphia,
which amounted almost TO nutiny. says
a Halifax disratch to the Herald. Sew
eral members of the crew became In
toxicated and began smashing things
, on board. The captain called in a po-
liceman, but he was powerless.
Reinforcements were called, and
when they arrived, the sailor who was
the principal cause of the trouble Ie-
treated down a hatchway. The police
men closed with him, and after put
ting irons on him, brought him to the
deck. Then they started to handcuff
another sailor. Meanwhile, the prison
er snapped the handouts apparently'as
easily as if they were made Of irvine.
The two prisoners were finally taken
TO the station, but during the scrim-
mage the policemen had their helmets
broken and got many cuts. Che pris-
oners were paid off by the captain and
they will be arraigned in court.
