NEGROES KILLED IN A PANIC.
Tragic Close OF o National Baptist Con
vention ut Birmingham, Ala.

Tragic Close OF National Baptist Con.
vention at Birmingham, Ala.
Birmingham. Ala.-In an awful crush
Of humanity caused by a stampede in
the Shiloh Negro Baptist Church. at
the corner Of Avenue G and Eighteenth
street. seventy-eight persons were
killed and as many more seriously In
jured.
The disaster occurred Just as Booker
T. Washington had concluded his nd
dress to the National Convention Of Ne.
gro Baptists. and for three hours the
scenes around the church were almost
indescribable. Dead bodies were
strewn in every direction. and the am
bulancc service of the city was utterly
unable to move them until long after
midnight.
Shiloh Church Is the largest place Of
worship for negroes In Birmingham.
and at least 1000 persons were inside
when the stampede began. Instruc.
tions had been issued to allow no one
to enter after the building had been
filed. but the negroes forced their way
inside and were standing In every aisle
when the cry of Fight "Fightw was
mistaken for Fire" and o deadly
scramble began to get out. The en-
trance to the church was literally
packed, and the negroes were trampled
to death In their struggle to escape.
Most Of the dead are women. and the
physicians say In many cases they
tainted and died from suffocation. A
remarkable feature Of the calamity Is
that little or no blood was seen on any
Of the victims. They were either
crushed or were suffocated to death.

A View of the World.

1t Is true that the gentle old soul who
stands out in soft relief below lived in
the seventeenth century. but the charm
of simplicity and enthusiasm cannot
be outworn by time.
She lived in the Peak country Of
Devonshire, England. and had never
been out Of her native village till some
body took her to the summit Of one
Of the hills which rise far above Edale.
There she could view a stretch Of coun.
try reaching away for many miles.
Her heart and mind sprang up With
rapture.
81 tell thee what" she cried. 81 niv.

big as this"

Pittsfield. All the others healed up
and passed away gradually. This one
was carefully examined at the time.
and II was believed to be nothing more
serious than bruise. lor which the
only treatment required was the ap-
plication of liniment.
The pain only developed at Detroit.
At Indianapolis 1t was severe. The
bruise was black and blue and large as
a mans hand. No real abscess was
found. the physicians say. 1t was
pure serum, two ounces Of which was
removed from the leg. In another
twenty -four hours this serum would
have become pus and an abscess would
have formed. This might have spread
and blood poisoning ensued.
When the President was on the oper-
ating table his bruise was sprayed with
ether to deaden the pain. The Presi.
dent felt the pain Of the puncture. not.
withstanding the ether. but he made no
complaint.
The Presidents leg was painted with
iodine after the operation and washed
n half dozen times with carbolic solu.
tions. Then the leg was bound With
tight bandages so as to keep 1t rigid.

BOERS APPEAL FOR AID

Issue a Manifesto.
~our Country 10 Completely Laid u aste. -
They ssy-contrlbutioEs Asked Z"
Allay Terrible Distress.

Amsterdam. Holland.-The Boer Gen.
erals Botha. De Wet and Delarey have
issued a manifesto In the shape OF an
appeal to the civilized world. This
document recalls how. after the terri
ble struggle In South Africa. and the
Beers were compelled to accept the
British terms Of peace. the Generals
were commissioned to proceed to Eng.
land and appeal to the new Govern
ment to allay the distress which Is
devastating the colonies. and. In the
event OF the failure Of the mission. to
appeal to the civilized world for char
liable contributions.
Continuing. the Generals say that
having failed to induce Great Britain
to grant further assistance. 1t only re-
mains for them to address themselves
to the people of Europe and America.
After setting forth how sweet 1t had
been, during the critical days they had
passed through. to receive constant
marks Of sympathy. the Generals take
this opportunity to express. on behalf
of the people Of the late republics. fer
vent thanks to all those who had as
sisted charitably the women and chill
dren In the concentration camps. pris-
oners, etc.
1.-THE small Boer nation" goes on the
manifesto. "can never forget the help
1t received In its dark hours OF suffer-
Ing. Our people are completely ruined.
1t has been impossible to make Il com.
plete inventory. but we are convinced
that at least $4,000 houses on Soer
farms and many villages were burned
or destroyed by the British during the
war. Everything was destroyed and
the country was completely laid waste.
The war demanded many victims. the
land was bathed In tears. and our
orphans and widows were abandoned.
We are appealing to the world for con-
tributions to assist the destitute and
help in the education Of children"
The Generals repudiate all desire to
infianle the mirds Of the people. and
declare: THE sword Is now sheathed.
and all differences are silent In the
presence Of such great misery"
They say the small amount given by
Great Britain. even IL multiplied ten
fold, would not suffice to cover the war
losses alone.
I'VE solicit the hearty cooperation"
concludes the manifesto. "of all ex-
isting committees In the various coun.
tries which We are on the point Of WIS.,
iting with the object Of establishing
a satisfactory organization.
