To Governor A. Il. .Longino !:

| 10 Governor a. II. 'Longin0:
AT the May term 1893, OF the circuit

and convicted on a charge of robbery,

continually 10 the present time been
very bad and that he is not able TO do
much work and that eis alsorupturfd
and in the year 1900 he had a very hard
spell of typhoid pneumonia, from which
he has never sufficiently recovered to be
able 10 Go manual labor, and he has
very little hopes of ever regaining his
health while he IS confined.
During all the tlme he has been serv-
| ing under said sentence, he has never
caused any trouble to the persons havirg
charge of him. but on the other hand he
has always been obedient. in the com

Jackson, July l4.-A movement
has been launched among the negroes
in Mississippi to induce the members
of the race to pay all taxes legally
assessed against them. The move
msnt las It's inclpiency IN Marion
county, where the Negro Taxpayers
Association has been organized, and
similar organizations are to be put ON
foot IN other parts of the state.
The resolutions adopted declare
that it is a public injustice that any
class of people should seek to escape
fulfillment of any obligation justly
due from them; that the poll tax re-
quirement is, reasonable and just,
and all male negroes stop the habit
of evading the tax, thereby bringing
reproach upon the race, and intel
lectual poverty upon their children.
In conclusion the resolution de-
clarss that the suppression of crime
among the negroes can be greatly
aided by enforcing the payment OF
taxes, and thus make them better
citizens.
Students Of the race problem wLc
have made inquiry into the matter
say there is no cause fer alarm in the
organization of these associations
and that it is not likely to result in &
general movement among the ne
groes to qualify for citizenship, or al
attempt to exercise the slectivssfs0A
chise. It's purpose is purely patri
otto, and the poll tax Collections
which the association proposes {,
enforce, are devoted to the common
school fund, and their payment vii
give better educational advantage
for the Negro children.

Mrs Birchett Declared Not Guilty on
Nearly Every Count.
The Board Of Aldermen Finished the
City Hospital Investigation
Last Night.
DIR. CoYLE WILL NOW RESIGN

Mrs. Sarah Birchett, matron of the
city hospital, was retained by the
boayd Of aldermen last night when the
trial of the charges preferred against
her by City Physician ]. E. Coyle
was concluded.
Tho prosecution did not close
Wednesday night, but three witnesses
were heard on that side last night,
which concluded the evidence Of the
prosecution.
DR.. Vernon blythe, who had been
called to the hospital to assist in sew
eral operations, testified that he found
the sanitary conditions anything but
good that the bedding in the colored
ward was dirty and the yards were
badly kept. As to her treatment Of
patients he knew nothing.
Rosa Boyoe, colored, who was an
inmate for two months, stated that
she had been in the hospital one week
before she even saw Mrs. Birchett;
that she had to clean her own room !;
that Mrs. Birchett was Of generally
bad temperament; that the defendant
often abused her and in one instance
threatened to. throw an old colored
man out Of the gate because he asked
for clean bedding.
Lanra Harrison, who worked for
Mckinney, the former keeper Of the
hospital, stated that during the two
weeks she had been an inmate of that
institution she had been treated nice
", but had seen mistreatmept to other
patients. In regard to the man who
wanted water just before he died and
who, it is alleged, was refused the
same, she stated that Mrs. Birchett
said that he wanted too much wait.
ing on and did not send or take the
water up She said the man died ask
ing for water. She also said that the
bedding was not clean and that she
found thirteen chinches under her pill
low and carried some away when she
was discharged, and that nothing was
done and no efforts made to rid the
beds and house of the chinches.
Viola Bradley, who testified
The Paducah sun. [volume] (Paducah, Ky.) 1898-1906, 1902-08-01

did not know how it started, but stat |
ed that he heard Coyle say, Twill you
please get out of this room and let me
alone until get through with this
PATIENT"
Officer Tom Evitts stated that he
had gone to the hospital several times
within the past few months. and had
found everything in a good condition
and no odors arising from dirty quar-
tiers or bad sanitation.
Lula Dean, Mrs. Birohett's daugh-
ter, stated in substance the same that
her mother testified in regard to the
direct charges made by DR.. Coyle.
She stated that DIR. Coyle had dis
charged one Of their nurses because he
had q sore on his leg, leaving them
without any help at all
Geo. Jones, a visitor, stated that
he had been at the hospital many
times and had occasion to look closely
into the management and treatment Of
patients, and he had never seen any
symptoms of bad treatment, and the
sanitation was good and the house
very clean. bedding and all. He said
DR.. Coyle stated to him at the begin
ming of the trouble at the hospital
that IL he did not get Mrs. Birchett
out some way, he would another"
meaning BY not sending patients to
the hospital. He gave Mrs. Birchett
the name of being . very industrious
woman.
Lillian Kane, who has been at the
hospital for two years, stated about
the same as Mrs. Birchett in regard
to the special cases cited where she
was charged with neglect, and gave
convincing testimony IN conflict with
that Of the prosecutions.
Ex-Mayor James Lang was sworn
and said that he considered Mrs Bir-
chett 9 competent woman, and said
that he had never said that she was
not.
Mr.. Lang then brought in Mr..
Alonzo Elliott, who was present at
the time the conversation was suppos-
ed to have occurred, and he stated he
remembered nothing Of the kind said
by Mr.. Lang.
The evidence on both sides here
closed and as no rebuttsl evidence was
introduced the aldermen adjourned to
privacy to discuss the matter. and de-
cided by unanimous vote that the
charge of abusive language against
Mrs. Birchett was not sustained; that
the charge Of incompetency was not
sustained, but evidence showed that
the hospital was not always kept
clean; that the charge Of disobeying
orders was not sustained; that the
charge Of neglecting patients showed
conflicting testimony, but that the
charge of using improper language
was sustained, and for which punish
ment was melted out in the nature Of a
reprimand to the matron by the board.
DR.. Coyle addressed the board and
stated that he desired to resign imme-
diately, but will have to do so through
the mayor and have the counc il to act
in the matter.
The board then adjourned.

IT Is A FACT

That the man who spends every
cent OF his income, no matter how
large, is poorer than he who saves q
part of his, no matter how small.
That sounds like common sense, does
IL not? This advice is just Is sem
sible. Put . few. or many dollars
into savings bank as often as you can
spare them, and you will soon be on
the road to ease and wealth.
Let us fit you out with one Of our
Home Savings Bank and you try IL for
Just month and see how satisfied you
will be.

Both attorneys in the Birchett case
have complimented President e. p.
Noble highly on his rulings and say
that they had never been more fairly
dealt with in any regular court. Pres
ident Noble was very brief when max
ing a ruling and always stated clearly
the grounds for his decision. He
showed no partiality to either side
and his action in the case was as salts
factory as could be wished.

Newark, N, j., July 14.--There was
an attendance Of over 5000 at the
Vailsburg track. Marcus l.. Hurley
of the New York Athletic club won
both of the amateur races. While the
long-mark men captured the money in
the half.mie professionals, they did
not do 50 well in the Spartan open for
professionals at two miles. This was
the race of the day and brought out
33 starters. The men were sent away
to rolling start. and as $40 prize
went to the winner of each lap 1t was
series Of constant sprints which
kept the spectators on their feet most
of the time. Houseman won the first
lap. Then Krebs led at the second,
third and fourth laps. Bald won the
fifth, Fem the sixth and Tom Butler
the seventh. Then the champion,
Kramer, got his wheel going and won
the race In a fighting finish by about
two feet. The time. All. is probably
the fastest ever made in a scratch

Tracy Heard From.
The Oregon Convict Again Resumes His
March Laid in Stock of Provisions.

Tracy then read Friday evenings
papers, and after learning now MRS.
Van Horn had betrayed his presence
In her house to the butcher boy, said
he had been careless in not keeping
everyone in that house constantly
under his eye. my carelessness in
this respect made 1t necessary to kill
two officers" he said.
He forced the Johnsons to give him
bundle of clothing and hats and six
days supplies of food, cooked for
him, put on Johnson's suit of Sunday
black and had the food. clothing and
blankets made into bundles. At 8
o'clock he bound and tightly gagged
the Johnson family, made their hired
man, Anderson, carry the bundles to
Johnson's rowboat, put Anderson in
the boat at the oars and started down
the sound. .1.h
Mrs. Johnson released herself and
the others two hours later and noti.
fed Deputy Sheriff Mckay, who lives
at Madison Point. Mckay secured a
boat and sent word to Seattle. Sher-
III Cudihee was summoned from Bo.
thell, and with several men started
down the sound in the Sea Lion. an
electric tugboat, looking for the des-
perado and the farmland. However,
as Tracy had Is hours start, 1t is
believed he will make good his es-
cape. The supposition is that he will
row all night, probably kill Anderson,
sink the boat, and disappear into the
wild forests of northern Washington,
where he may live many days on his
supply of food.
