THE POLITICAL FAKE.

The White Southern Office Holder:

The White Southern Office Holder:
GREENSBORO, ALA. Sept II, o2 The
Southern Office Holders as a class ir-
respective of party are the most adept
in their profession or any similar class
in the United States. II is perfectly
wonderful how they have So long been
able 10 deceive the American people.
Under the guiSe of maintaining white
supremacy the Ku Klux clan and 9TH
er similar organizations fourished in
the south and this was simply to keep
a certain class of Southern white men
in office. When this support failed or
was about to fail OF the purpose of its
beginning then election frauds were
instituted and by this means this same
class was peTpetuated in Office. The
white republicans having been run out
of the State Offices there was then in
stituted a secret understanding be-
tween the white republican office
holders and the democratic office
holders that the one would maintain
the other o-hold their grip. When a
National administration was repub-
lican these democratic ot1ce holders
under the state administ alton were
to help the republicans (white) get
the National offices and in turn these
federal republican Office holders were
not to disturb this democratic Office
holding class in the enjoyment of the
state patronage. This served its pur-
pose well until there grew to be so
many democrats wanting Cflce that
they started another ruse to enlarge
their field. Wherever there was place
a democrat could hope to get from z
republican administration then the ar

dent. OF course when a democrat was
president the thought was never en-
tertain d that republican should be
appointed even to a fourth class post
office at the smallest road. A south
ern Democrat never conceded any
thing from democratic admi3lstra-
ton to a republican. In other words
the average Southern democrat Office
holding c! ass expects and requires o.
fce under all administration.
>Iw this new departure ABOUT ex-
Guiding cOlored men frem Republican
councils is another ruse of the office
holding class or white men in the
South, for they we'll know that
good will come to them either way II
happens. If the COlorel man is ex.

will have that TO iaduce the Negroes 70

In Fl HORSE BLANKET.

BALTIMORE, Md, Oct. 23.-When
Mrs. Theodore. Rosenorn, clad only i'll
a horse blanket, was arraigned before
Justice Sauber, at the Northwestern
Police Station, on charge of disturb
ing the peace of Grocer Arthur Cow
man, above whose place Of business
Mrs. Rosenorn and her grown daugh-
ter occupy handsomely furnished
apartments, one of the strangest sto-
ries ever revealed in court was told.
Until taken in custody by the police

six years, and for the last four of that
term had permitted no eyes except
those of her handsome daughter to
look upon her.
The daughter, who is % years DID,
had not been out of the home for ten
years, and for four years had not been
seen by any person save the mother.
When the elder hermit was brought to
the bar she was in a pitiable state of
excitement. She said that she was
the wife of Theodore Rosenorn, the
prosperous proprietor of q riding acad-

brought by Mr.. Cowman that she had

DR. BARNEY 6LAIMS He HIS SURE SHE HPPEHRED COURT CAD ONLY
CURE FOR CONSUMPTION
CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.

New York, Oct. 13.-Doctor George
D. Barney of No. 301 Third street,
Brooklyn, who announced that he had
inoculated Miss Emma King with tu-
berculosis germs several months ago,
to prove that consumption was not in
durable, has now given to the world
his formula for curing the much
dreaded disease. In a report that he
will make to the Medical Journal in a
few days is the statement that within
the last year he has attended 100 cases
of consumption.
Doctor Barney's formula is simple,
and he regards it strange that no 9TH
er physician ever discovered it. The
only medicine used is comprised of the
three kresols-para, meta and ortho-
made into one compound and known
as trikresola. Added to the kresola
is one of the strongest disinfectants
known to science as ethlendiemine.
These, made into one liquid, form
what is known to the medical world
as kresamin.
This kresamin, according to Doctor
Barney's formula for the cure of con-
sumption, is, perhaps, the strongest
disinfectant, if it can be SO called,
known in medicine, In odor it strong
ly resembles carbolic acid. Used In a

Cuban Land SWindl6

WASHINGTON Oct. 23.-Consul
General Bragg at Havana has reported
to the State Department the existence
of a fraudulent Cuban land company
that is distributing in this country a
large number of circulars making
false and misleading statements re-
garding its property.
The circulars, Mr.. Bragg says, de-
scribe the land as situated in the Prov
ince of Santa Clara, on the Zapata
Peninsula. Steamers are reported as
running from the small port of Batat-
bano in the Province of Havana to the
Bay of Cochinos, In Santa Clara. Mr..
Bragg explains that no such line of
steamers exists, for two reasons: Lack
of water and lack of trade
Zapata Peninsula is largely a
sewamp. 1t is described In the census
OF Cuba (1S99), made by Lieutenant
Colonel Sanger as can almost impen-

length, with a maximum breadth OF

Physicians say that the man is so

ed by the suns rays.
Bennett is a. caterer, and was en-
ployed in one of the large summer
hotels in the Adirondacks two years
ago, when he suffered severe sun
stroke, and came to this city for treat
ment. When he recovered he remain
ed as caterer in the Fort Schuyler
Club.
Last summer he had another sun
stroke, and after spending months In
the hospital, recovered. A few weeks
later he was driving hired horse
when storm came up and the animal
dropped dead from lightning stroke.
Bennett had to pay for the horse
In May of this year, Bennett was su-

the clubhouse was filled with sulphur

lightning rod, fell insensible. For
hours he was supposed to be dead, but
finally he recovered in the hospital,
after several weeks. Tuesday was the
anniversary of his last sunstroke, and
Bennett celebrated it by getting struck
by lightning once more, and was car
ried off to the hospital
Now he is tired of it, and says that
he will try to find a spot on earth
where he will be safe from electricity.
When he finds it he says he viii stay

6-per-cent solution, kresamin is placed
in a vaporizer, operated at very high
pressure and forced into the lungs of
the patient seated in a air-tight steel
cabinet.
AS Doctor Barney explained his
treatment today, the patient is placed
in this steel air-tight cabinet from
which all the air is drawn, and a
fresh supply is forced in by means of
a bellows. A rubber tube connected
with the glass vaporizer outside the
cabinet is placed in the patients mouth
the vaporizer is started, and the
kresn.ain Is .hus forced into the lungs
OF the sufferer.
Acting much as any ordinary disin-
fectant acts, the kresamin is forced to
all parts of the patients lungs, killing
according to Doctor Barriey's THEORY,
all tuberculosis germs. The lungs are
made uninhabitable for germs of ali
kinds. as the sickroom is ordinarily
made uninhabitable for germs after a
strong disinfectant has been used.
Il claim for the formula" said Doc
tor Barney today. that in all ordin-
ary cases of consumption it will be
found effective. One can see at a
glance how simple it is, and | have
proved during the last four years how
practicable and how efficient it is. So

sells for general use I keep guam

Not that she thought he was sweet.
On the contrary, the Gerry Society

was found weeping in Rutgers Park.
He said he was Abraham Nortzan, II
added that he had lived in No. 221

the candy shop there to a Mrs. Solo
mon, who had told him to get out.
The fearful boys story was investi-
gated. Mrs. Hyman Wahl was found
in No. 131 Broome street. She con-
sented to go to the children's court to
explain why the small boy should be
transferred with the store. Justice

was discovered few minutes after
she had swallowed the poison by

An ambulance was summoned and
the young woman was taken to the

while on the operating table, The
body was transferred to the morgue.

her mother objected to her accepting
