attacks on the co!ored people Many Of
the negroes hav" left. stating that they
will moi receive protection. Many,
however, are determined TO remain.
Some own property, and some are in
business, and it is this class that is d.
viding the sentiment of the white pCu-
pie of the city and yiciuity. The toun-
ty officials still expect trouble and have
organized matters rs well as possible to
preserve order. one hundred deputies
have been sworn i'll. and an attempt
Will be made to control til" situat ion,

by some mysterious manner tho
pardon Of Cole has been commlmiaat.
ed to the prisoners in the workinnse.
The result is that the life and long
term prisoners want pardon. Men
who in the moment of passion violated
the law believe they are entitled to
clemcncy far more SO than the atus
dent armed with base ball bat hunt
ed for young Montague in order to
cover The bat with b.ood and gray
matter. The Sunday Star had this
on the case yesterday.

Consul at Cape Town,

SO1suA - SupC AOVhs
CHICAGO. April IA certified check
for 5000 drawn to the order of Presl-
dent Roosevelt was forwarded to the
president on March 2S by the commit
tee of citizens which Governor Yates
appointed In December last to raise
funds for the relief of Borr women and
children sufferers in the concentration
camps Of South Africa. Inasmnch as
the committee was without satisfac-
tory means of forwarding the money
President Roosevelt was requested to
accept the fund and have it forwarded
through such channels as he might
deem best TO be disbilrsed for the relief
OF the sufferers for whom it was in
tended.
A letter from Secretary Hay under
date Of April 8 has been received by
Peter Van Nlissingcn, secretary of the
Illinois committee, acknowledging the
receipt of the check by President
Roosevelt and stSting that as directed
by the president, the money has been
forwarded TO the United States con-
sui general at Cape Town, that being,
in the presidents opinion, the most ex-
prdiIious way Of transmitting it to its
destinations. The consular officer at
Cape Town. Secretary Hay states. has
been directed to distribute the fund in
the manner intended by the donors.
President Roosevelt and the secretary
of state having so readily complied
with this first request, MIR. Van Nlissll.
gen announced that it was now the
purpose OF the committee to undertake
tho collection of Il muclA~ larger sum
and that Il systematic effort will be
made throughout the state to collect

Beware of High Chairs.

A young lady of small stature recently
tainted at dinner given in her honor. 1t
was then found that she had not been able
to touch either of her feet to the floor or her
back to the chair, and the restricted circula-
ton and prolonged discomfort had finally
overcome her. An antiquarian traces the
present manila for high seats to the fact that
at the old French courts sets of handsome
furaiture were ranged along the walls for
effect, but were never occupied. The chairs
and sofas actually used were much lower.
Furniture makers of today copy the more
snowy pieces and further enhance their in
utilith by spring cushions. The dictum Of
a famous cabinet maker is that in choosing
chairs the knee Of a person standing should
come cleal aboYe the seat he intends to &C.
cupy.
