A Seismic shock Felt in st. Louis.

st. Louis, Aug. 17.-An earthquake
shock which lasted for several Sec
onds was distinctly felt in all parts
Of st. Louis early yesterday morning.
So marked was the seismic disturbance
that many slumbering residents OF the
city jumped from their beds in fright
and waited tremblingly for other and
greater shocks, but they did not mate
rialize. According to those who felt
the disturbance the shock took place
OF seven minutes before four o'clock
All agree that 1t was jar rather than
a trembling Of the earth, but so vio-
lent was Its nature that houses shook
at their foundations as If they were
momentarily to totter and fall. Nc
damage has been reported.

BREWER ON MOBLAW
The Associate Justice Gives His
Views on Burning Subject.
IT UNDERMINES RESPECT FOR LAW.


New York, Aug. 17.-Associate Jus
tice David ]. Brewer. of the supreme
court of the United States, has con-
tributed to Leslie's Weekly an article
on the crime Of lynching, In the course
of which he says:
"Our government recently forwarded
to Russia a petition in respect to al
legged atrocities committed upon the
Jews. That government, as might
have been expected. unwilling!y to
have its internal affairs a matter OF
consideration by other governments.
declined to receive the petition. II,
instead of SO doing, 1t had replied tnat
1t would put stop to all such atroci-
ties when this government put stop
to lynchings, what could we have
said?
ut is well to look the matter fairly
In the face. Many good men join In
these uprisings, Mortified at the atroc-
ity Of the crime and eager for SWIFT
and summary punishment. on course
they violate the law themselves, but
rely on the public sentiment behind
them for escape from punishment.
Many of these lynchings are accompa-
MED by the horrible barbarities OF saw
age torture, and all that can be said
in palliation is the atrocity OF the Of
lenses which led up to them. For
time they were confined largely to the
south, but that section Of the country
no longer has monopoly. The chief
offense which causes those lynchings
has been the rape of white women by
colored men. No words can be found
too strong to describe the atrocity OF
such crime. It is no wonder that the
community is excited Men would dis
grace their manhood If they were not
And II a few lynchings had put stop
to the offense society might have con-
doned such breaches Of its laws, but
the fact is, IL we may credit the re-
ports, the crime instead Of diminishing
is on the increase The black beast
(for only a beast would be guilty OF
such an offense) seems to be not de-
TERED thereby. More than that, as
might be expected, lSnchlng for such
atrocious crimes is no longer confined
to them, but is being resorted to Tor
other offenses.
what can be done to stay this cpl
demic Of lynching? One thing is the
establishment of q greater confidence
in the summary and certain punish
ment of the criminal. Men are afraid
of the laws delays and the uncertainty
of its results. Not that they doubt
the integrity Of the judges, but they
know that the law abounds with tech
nIcal rules and that appellate courts
will often reverse q judgment OF con-
viction for a disregard Of such rules.
notwithstanding Q full belief In the
guilt of the accused. II all were GER

of the delight with which President
Andrew Jackson first tasted it. Guests
at the next White House reception
were treated to the frozen mystery,
and great was the fun Of the initiated
when they saw the reluctance of 9th
ers to taste the cold stuff. Those from
the rural districts especially eyed 1t
suspiciously, then melted each tea
spoonful with the breath before swal-
lowing 1t. The next time they had u
chance they ate 1t with delight.
