SAM JONES' HOT SHOT.

Rev. Sam Jones, the Georgi'
evangelist, who was one Of The
speakers at the Bloomington Chau
tauqua, was asked while there
what, in his opinion, was respon.
sible for the race wars in the
North, particularly the Danville
and Evansville riots. He said
in response:
81 have lived among negroes all
my life, and know them pretty
we'll, and in my mind there is not
much in this excitement among
them. Now this lyuching bust
ness is no anarchy. If a mad dog
or wild beast runs through the
streets and bites some one, the
thing to do is to kill it, and kill it
before it before it does any more
harm. There is not much differ
ence between a wild beast and a
negro who will attack white wo-
men. Why, in the South the re-
spectacle blacks help the whites
lynch the brutes. OF the IL ,0O0,-
900 in the South, the great mass
are peaceable law-abiding citizens.
Since we have gotten rid of the
Yankee skalawags who were stir
ing them up, We don't have much
trouble with them. They know
their place and they keep it, just
as The convicts at Joliet know
their place and keep it
There may be a thousand bad
negroes in the South, and they
are the ones who make the trou-
BILE. Ii was the enfranchisement
of the negro that made the trou
BILE at first. Ia Georgia we have
not disfranchised them. They can
vote at the general election, but
they can not vote at the primaries.
We have a white primary, and a
a nomination is equivalent to an
election, the black vote does not
interfere. Education is doing a
great deal for the negro. The on
ly education that l think is useful
to them is manual training, Book
er T. Washington is doing the
most for them. He is dignifying
labor and teaching them to work.

LIFE OF A COAL MINER.

First, the boy of eight OF ten is

slate and other Impurities from
the coal which has been brought
up from the mine. As he grows
older aud stronger he is advanced
to the position and given tie pay
of a laborer. There he gains the
experience which secured him d
place as a miners helper, and az
he requires skill and strength he
becomes, when i'm the height OF
his manhood aud vigor, full
tiedged miner.
If he is fortunate enough to es-
cape the falls of rock and coal, he
may retain his position as a miner
for number Of years. But as
age creeps on and he is attacked
with some of the many diseases
incident to work in the mines, he
makes way for those younger and
more vigorous following him up
the ladder whose top he has reach.

True to the reputation which
Kentuckians have long since es-

HOW OLD WAS ANN?
\ Connecticut Court Solemnly
Considers the Question

NEW HAVEN, Nov 24.-Aftel
being about the country creating
amusement and desolation and
searching for an answer for weeks
and weeks. The question, "How
Old Is Ann" Is to be dignifed by
the serious consideration of the
Connecticut superior court, and be
fore the matter Is finally concluded
the supreme court OF the state will
have fl ng at the perplexing prob
lem. Everybody has been wonder
Ing who Ann was, as we'll as cogi
tating over her uncertain age, and
In this case the court has the ad-
vantage of all the former contest
ants for an answer to the problem.
For 1t has been informed on au-
thority which cannot be doubted
that she Is or rather was, Ann Muir
pny, who died In this city short
while ago.
The court has further informa'
ton to the effect that Ann was IL
sured February 2, 1891, VIXEN she
took out life policy In local In
surance association. The bene-
ficiary. of course, was Mary, and
Mary, who Is still we'll known
resident of this city, has the family
name of Vincent. When Mary
came to present her insurance
policy for collection the insurance
company preached the oft repeated
interrogation, and, not getting an
immediate answer as to the age of
Ann, refused to pay the money,
claiming that Ann was older than
she said she was when the inSur'
ance company made out the policy
to Mary, Mary says that Ann surely
stated her right age, because she
( Nary Is LOW twice as old
as Ann was when she took
out the Insurance policy, and that
AIMS age Is recorded In the par
Ism of county Kilcock, Ireland, of
which Rev. James Herman Is the
pastor.
Judge Chase, In the superior
court this morning issued an order
for the taking of the disposition
of Rev. Mr.. Herman, who will pro
duce the records of the parish,
which will show If Ann was as old
as she said she was when she had
her life Insured. and If Mary Is
really twice as old as Ann was at
that time.
The insurance company will pro-
duce experts who will either assist
the court In figuring the real age of
Ann or add to the perplexlty of
the riddle.
