Could Love But Rule

MANS inhumanity to man
Makes countless thousands mourn"
How true these words have proved to
be,
How many made forlorn.
How lack of love and charity
Have filled the world with woe.
Oh! would that men could ever learn.
Christ's mercy, sweet, to know.
How souls 80 innocent Of crime
Have such injustice known,
And those who held controlling hand
So little mercy shown.
IT'S sad how avarice and greed
Have so much sorrow brought,
When all might be such happiness,
Were Christ's sweet lessons taught
Oh! when shall love e'er rule the world
And make life sweet, indeed,
To fill our lives with peace and joy
And blessings that we need?
When shall mans inhumanity,
To kindness e'er be changed,
So that for love and happiness
Our lives may be arranged?

this same town in 1896 all the negroes

Saviors of society! Respectable citi

In the morning the morbid multitude
surges about the scene. For days and
weeks they come from all the country
round. Little children find pieces OF
fingers, stones covered with blood,
charred bones, precious relics of that
heroic night: sacred mementoes of the
exalted courage of those brave city
fathers. After that women lock their
doors in daylight; men start at their
shadows, and children have the night

our youth! What touching evidence

REIGN OF TERROR
Rev. Herbert S. Bigelow breaches On The
Prevalence of Lynch Law

Cincinnati, Aug. 3.-"Our Reign OF
Terror" This was the subject of the
discourse of Herbert S. Bigelow in his
pulpit at the Vine Street Congrega-
tional church today.
Text: Dearly beloved, avenge not
yourselves, but rather give place unto
wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is
mine; | will repay, saith the Lord. -
Romans 1919.
Mr.. Bigelow said in part:
Ny train was four hours late and
was waiting at little railroad station
in the southwestern corner of the
state of Missouri. A fellow traveller,
with whom was pacing up and down
the platform, told me that he was
bound for Pierce City.
Our lynching parties have been so
numerous that it is impossible to keep
track of them. But you may recall
that Pierce City Is one of the black
spots on the map of Missouri. 1t was
here that the mob drove all the ne
groes out of town that were not
lynched. Speaking of the affair my in
former said he "reckoned" there were
about five hundred "niggers there be-
fore the trouble, and that not one of
them had been allowed to stay.
He only knew of two people there
who did not approve of these doings.
One was his brothers fatherin-law
He said the "old man" cried about it
and declared it was an outrage. Any
one who protested against the action
of the mob was in danger and they had
all they could do to keep the old man
still.
They did Lynch one man who had
nothing to do with the crime. This
my companion admitted. But he said
he was "bad niger" and was
lynched on general principles.
I pondered long on that phrase Of
his-"lynched on general principles. !"

Rome, July 24.-The report which
was generally circulated that the body
of Pope Leo was beginning to show
signs of decomposition caused great
excitement here, but 1t is now CONTRA
dicted by the doctors. Many people
who had decided to visit the Chapel Of
Sacrament in St. Peters on the last
day of lying in state and thus avoiding
the crowd, hurried there today. fearing
that the body would be burr. E.tnniisit

resulted in the gathering at st. Peters
of a larger crowd than that Of yester-
day. Otherwise, the scene was practi-

sun and the dust. and the struggle to

Lexington, KY, July 24.-Claude
O'Brien and Earl Whitney, boys in
years and whose faces indicated moth

BROKERAGE FIRMS FAIL.
Heavy Decline in Mexican Central
and Southern Pacific Too Much
for Them.

New York, July 24.-The long-contin-
ued decline In prices for securities on
the Stock Exchange resulted this af-
ternoon in the announcement of the
failure of two important stock ex-
change brokerage firms. The first an
nouncement was of the suspension of
w. L. Stowe & Co., followed in few
moments by the news, sensational to
the entire financial world, that Talbot
]. Taylor, the senior member of which
Is a son-in-law of j. r. Keene, had
failed. The firm of Stowe & Co., was
heavily interested in Mexican Central
and was a member Of the pool in that
stock. The announcement Of the fail
ure caused an immediate decline of Z
3-S in the price of that stock.
Talbot J. Taylor & Co., it has been
supposed, were long on Southern Pa
cific ever since the Inauguration Of a
bull movement by the means of a
pool in that stock more than a year
ago by James r. Keene. Southern
Pacific sold today at a price of about
fifty points below the high record fig
ure to which it was put presumably
through the bull manipulation of the
Keene pool. Then, no dividend was
declared on Southern Pacific, and the
stock began to decline. Mr.. Keene be-
gan an effort in the courts to prevent
the Union Pacific and the Hartman
syndicate from continuing to exercise
control of Southern Pacific.
Almost Immediately after the first
declines caused by the announcement
Of the failures there was violent ral-
ly, showing apparently that something
of the kind had been expected and that
these suspensions were what stock
speculators had been saying for some
time was causing the decline. namely.
that there was something Hanging
over the market.

Indications Point to the Election OF Him as
Leo's Successor.

Rome July 24.-The nearer the time
for the conclave approaches the more
the two distinct tendencies are shown
in the sacred college, especially among
the cardinals of Curia, that is to say,
those living in Rome. These two
tendencies spring from the personality
of Cardinal Rampolla as the great
struggle continues to be in his favor or
against him. If Rampolla finds that
on the first ballot he has considerable
number of votes, he will try again. If
he has few votes, and one of his oppo-
nents has many, he will renounce his
chance and he and all his friends will
support Cardinal Gotti, with whom he
now has come to some such agreement.

who confessed to having caused the
death of the Texas millionaire, Will

Jones received immunity for becoming
a state witness against Albert T. Pat
rick. who was charged with killing
Rice through the instrumentality Of
Jones. About year ago Jones was
allowed to return to Texas upon an
agreement to keep the district attor-
ney's office informed as to his where
abouts.. For a while he did so. In
Texas he met only with scorn, and af-
ter residing in several cites, went to
New Orleans, and finally his letters to
New York stopped. 1t became neces-
sary to locate Jones in connection with
the appeal of Patrick, but no trace of
him can be found
