THE FAILURE OF LYNCH LAW,

When a thing is tried for the purpose of producing a certain effect, and it is found in practice to produce precisely
 the opposite effect, reasonable people might be expected to drop it. Lynch ing first in its simple form and then with every refinement O; torture, has been defended on the ground that there
 is one crime so far surpassing all
 others in atrocity that it ought to be
 singled out for a special penalty in
 ficted in a special way. Thus, it is argued. the public mind will be inn
 pressed with the enOrmity Of this crime and men who might have been tempted
 to commit it will be restrained by a
 wholesome terror.
 This theory has been put to the test
 at Wilmington and at other places, and
 what is the result: Public attention, instead of being concentrG ted upon the crime, is diverted to the awful pun ishment and to the outraged law. The | laWless community takes the place of the suffering beast in the dock of na- tional condemnation. The crime is not
 checked for before the ashes at Will mington are cold it is repeated in other l communities, and within the past few l days it has assumed the proportions of a veritable epidemic. Nor is lynch law reserved for this particular offense, ! for the mob spirit, once let loose

 Since lynohing has thus manifestly | failed to accomplish the very object of it's existence. why not abandon it and turn to something more promising 1 The crime that furnishes the excuse for mob law is not committed in Ja-

 Jamaica as here; why does it display
 itself so differently? Is it because the
 law in a British colony is swift and

It is counting danger to stand under icy caves. Not few have learned this to their cost. Every winter injury and even death are reported as the result of this Carelessness.

He HELD MOB At BAY
But Mooney Empty-Handed
Disarmed Him.
Afterward the Negro Murderer Fled From a
Second Demonstration by the Crowd
Saved by the Police.
(By the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Sept. 9.-Under fire OF bricks
and stones, policemen last night rescued
a negro murderer from mob of woulc-
be lynchers.
Ten minutes before, John Brinkley,
colored Waterman, had shot and killed
Charles Mccarthy, a plasterer, almost IN
the presence of the latter's wife VINO
stood in the doorway holding her baby
Then the negro, backing into the door
way of his own quarters, held crowd of
200 men and boys at bay until Petrolman
Robert Mooney walked up to him I'M
armed, and took away his weapon
Mooney took his prisoner into the office
of the tile factory, in which Brinkle3
was employed, to await the patrol wagon.
But as he did so, the crowd surged for
ward once more with cries of Lynch
him." Lynch him." Get a rope"
Brinkley turned and fled from the office
by the rear door.
The mob saw the escape and, headed by
Mooney streamed down an alley in pur-
suit. The negro ran several blocks be-
fore he was finally overtaken. The police
man having been brushed aside Brlnkley
was now at the mercy of the crowd. A
teamster jumped down from his wagon
and began flashing the negro across the
face with his whip, the victim being held
the while by a dozen men and boys. A
patrol wagon arrived with three police
men, who, together with Mooney, seized
the negro and succeeded in dragging him
to the patrol wagon. The horses were
whipped up and the rescued prisoner
whred to the police station. None of
the rioters was arrested.
The killing grew out of a quarrel in
which Mccarthy had accused Brinkley of
stealing chickens from his premises.

Massachusetts entered a protest against
New Jersey, asserting that Hudson, of
the latter team was a regularly enlisted
member of the Goth New York Regiment.
Major Guilfoyle, the active officer, held
that the protest must be passed upon by
the board appointed by the Secretary of
War. which framed the conditions govern
ing the competition.
The wind up of the shooting in the ma
tional match was the most spirited fea-
ture of the meet, although it was ap-
parent half an hour before the firing
ceased that New York would win bv a
good margin. Each team. even those near
the foot of the list, was deeply con-
cerned regarding its standing at the fin
ish however, and therefore, the work Of
each man on each team was followed
eagerly. Even before cease firing" had
sounded, cheering in honor of the vic
torious team had begun. The throng at
the firing line numbered many hundreds
and the shout that arose was a mighty
one.
The program for tomorrow includes the
completion Of the firing in the Leech Cup
and company team, veterans team and
the re-entry individual matches.

PAY FOB FULL TIME.
North Carolina Companies Entitled to Eight
Days Pay,

The Army and Navy register of Septem-
Der 5, 1903, publishes among late army
orders the following: "Cir 3, Aug. q,
w. d. Publishes a decisions of the Comp
troller of the Treasury III which he de-
cides that such portion of said organized
militia as shall engage in actual field or
camp service for instruction, and the or
ganized militia of any State or territory
as shall participate in any encampment,
manoeuvres and field instruction of any
part of the Regular Army, at or near any
post, or camp, or lake, or seacoast de
lenses of the United States, are entitled
to pay, subsistence and transportation al
lowance for the entire period from the
time when such organized militia shall
start from their home rendezvous to the
time of their return to their home rem
devious"
From this it would appear that the com
panies in the recent three North Carolina
encampments are entitled to full pay foI
the days taken in going and coming from
camp, thus those companies of the First
Regiment that left under orders, on Au-
gust IS, and returned on August %, would
be entitled to eight instead of five days

Thirty Were Killed at Beirut.
(By the Associated Press.)

Beirut. Syria, Sept. 7th, Monday, via
Port Said.-Vice Consul Magelssen, when
he was fired at recently, was near a po-
lice booth. His assailant is not yet known.
The authorities are Indifferent and thus
far have given no satisfaction.
The Moslem section of the city from
Friday up to last night was in state of
anarchy and thirty persons were killed,
among whom, however, were no foreigners.
The shops are closed, the streets deserted
and the government is seemingly unable
or unwilling to assure the safety of the
residents.
The arrival of the American cruisers
Brooklyn and San Francisco was most OPP
FORTUNE. Admiral Cotton is on the alert
and signal men and a guard slept at the
United States consulate last night. The
men on board the warships are under arms
ready to disembark on }signal from the
consulate. The boats of the Brooklyn and
San Francisco have reconnoitered the
coast below the property of the American
mission in order to select landing places
in case of need The American mission
authorities have demanded guards from
the governor for the protection of the mis-
SION printing Office anu Tic lhlSiSOh PiOP
erty. An attempt to enter an American
residence on Saturday was frustrated.
The Americans here think the United
States government should insist on the
dismissal of the Vail of Beirut, notorious
bribe-taker and to whom all the disor-
ders were attributed. The opinion here
is that the powers should take action with
view to bringing Beirut under the juris-
diction of an autonomous Christian gov
eminent for the Lebanon district.
