ATLANTIC crrTs TIDAL WAVE
Caused Big Scare Among the coIoret
Residents

Caused Big Scare Among the coIored
Residents
Atlantic City, Aug. ia great
scare occurred in the colored resident
district OF the town about noon yester-
day. Some one started the rumor that
a long black line, supposed TO be the
tidal wave. could be seen approaching
the city far out at sea and extending
down the ocean In an instant there
was something doing. The older resi-
dents, who still recall plantation days,
and who have never been weaned from
the superstition OF the southern colored
race. fell on their knees and prayers
and revival hymns were sent heaven
ward as only scared colored men can
pray and sing.
There were lots OF people who went
TO the shore yesterday either 20 see a
real tidal wave or to show that they
were not afraid Of one. According 70
the figures announced the number al
excursionists that went TO the shore
yesterday was 1867. This is only Al
less than the record for the same day
last year. So far 1900 more people
have been carried shoreward this sea-
son than last

SCHWAB WON'T RESIGN
President of Steel Corporation Has
No Intention of Retiring.
DON'T LOOK LIKE A SICK MAN

MIR. schwab Says He Needs Rest, and
Is Going to France. Where He Will
Take Course Of Treatment at the
Mineral Springs.
New York, Aug 20. - Charles NJ.
Schwab, the president OF the United
States Steel Corporation. arrived here
last evening. He was accompanied by
his brother. Joseph Schwab, and his
private secretary. He stepped briskly
from the car, and as he did so he said
to number OF newspaper men present:
Now, gentlemen, l am going to tell
you three things. and don't want you
to ask me any further questions. In
the first place. don't look like sick
man. In the second place, feel the
necessity OF rest and / am going to
take one. In the third place, am not
going to resign, and have no intention
of retiring from the presidency of the
United States Steel Corporation"
Are you going to Europe?" was ask
ed of Mr.. Scbwab.
Yes" he replied, but don't ask me
any more questions; that's all 1 have
to say"
George w. Perkins. OF ]. p. Morgan
& Co. said: MIR. Schwab is not seri-
ously Ill, and the stories printed about
his resignation from the presidency of
the United States Steel Corporation
are almost too silly to be noticed. He
is not going to resign. no one has even
thought OF asking him to resign, neith-
er does any one want him to resign.
He will attend several business meet
ings before sailing for an extended trip
to Europe, as HIS been his custom for
many years past. Mr.. Schwab has the
confidence OF every member of the
Steel Corporation. and perfect harmony
prevails among all the officials and d.
rectors OF the corporation"

FAvoRs TARIFF REVISION
Secretary Shaw Addressed RepublI-

cans at MorrisNtlle, VT.
Morrisville, Vt, Aug. 20-Five thou
sand persons listened to Secretary of
the Treasury Leslie NJ. Shaw, who
was the principal speaker at a Re
publican rally here yesterday. Sec
rotary Shaw lived here when he was
a boy and went to school here, and
the residents of all the section round
about came to hear him. He spoke in
part as follows:
Il have been quoted as opposed to
revision OF the tariff. I have never
opposed readjustment of the tariff.
Whenever congress reaches the con-
clusion that the friends of protection
modify certain schedules, 20 as TO
meet changed conditions and at the
same time successfully resist the eff
forts OF the opposition to revise the
entire tariff law, thus paraEzIng bust

l have expressed some doubt, how
ever. about the wisdom OF instructing
by resolutions or exacting pledges
from candidates for congress. when
the effect is liable to precipltate a
protracted debate with very uncertain
results
The secretary appealed for the
election of a Republican to congress.
Then, he said, let the representatives
from all sections OF the country get
together, "and II they can agree upon
one or dozen items in the present
tariff schedule that can be reduced.

THE CRIME IN HENRI o.

CHARLES T INIBERLAKE (white) is now
conf ned in the Henrico Co., Jail in this
city, charged with the most heinous crime
known to the law. There can be no
doubt of his guilt in the minds Of those
who have heard the plain, straight-for-
ward statement of Mrs. Keziah Banks
or who have listened TO the testimony
Of about half-dozen witnesses, who
caught the brute in the act of commit
ting felony.
This case is an object lesson. CRAv.
EN was lynched at Leesburg for murder
of which he was not guilty. TIMBER
LAKE is allowed to inger in Jail in this
city and there is nc demand ON the part
of the populace for q speedy trial.
When JOE FIFE (colored) attempted a
similar offence upon a white lady IN
this city, speedy justice was melted to
him and both white and colored citi-
gems said, amen" when the drop fell.
His body was sent to the medical col
eye at Charlottesville, Va, to become
q 1T subject for the medical knives used
u the work of dissection. When JOE
HIGGINBoTHAM committed u similar
cffense at Lynchburg, Va, the same
decree went forth and if we mistake
not his body, too, is at the present time
n the picking vat of the University
college of Medicine in this city. But,
what viii they d with TndBERLAKE?
TIE press Of this city is and has been
silent VIII. the laws delay be exer-
cised 10 this case? VIII the poor Old
coloTed woman be tantaiized ana brow
beaten on the witness stand? Win the
scars on her face and neck be lightly
referred to, and will she be required to
call on her young 'marster" of slavery
days for protection? We shall see.
''He deserves lynohing," you say.
Perhaps he does. But lynching is muir
der and as guilty as he is and deserving
as he is of death, we would to-day rally
with the sheriff's posse to protect him
from such fate. In doing this, we
would be unfolding and defending the
law rather than saving brute, who
had forfeited his right to live. he
should die, but the duly authorized Of
ficers Of the law should officiate at his
6imely taking off.
1t would be we'll to remember thai

The mucous membrane is made ana
