NEGRO PASTORS ADVICE.
Re a Law Umf0 Yourselves, Your Own
 Court and Jury.


 Re a Law Unto Yourselves, Your own
 Court and Jury.
 WILMINGTON, Del, June 29.-The Rev Montrose W. Thornton, colored, pastor of the First A. M. B. church of this city, preached a sensational ser mon to his congregation. He is report ed to have said in part:
 "The white man, in face of his boast ed civilization, stands before my eyes the demon of the worlds races, mon- ster tncarnate, and, in so far as the ne- gro race is concerned, seems to give no quarter The white man is heather, fiend, monstrosit% before God and is equal to any act in the category of , crime. I would sooner trust myself in a den of hyena as in his arms. With a court, law and officers of law in his hands the despised negro can expect no mercy, justice or protection The negro is unsafe anywhere in this country. He is the open prey at all times of bar barians who know no restraint and will not be restrained.
 EtThere is but one r--S-t left for the persecuted negro whe = charged with crime and when innocent. Be law un- to yourself. You are taught by this lesson of outrageSto save yourself from torture at the hands of the blood seek ing public. Save your race from insult and shame. Be your own sheriff, court and jury, as was the outlaw Tracy. Die in your tracks. perhaps drinking the ' blood of your pursuers. Booker T Washington's charity, humanity, ad' vice of forgiveness, love for industry and so on will never be reciprocated by white men,

THE DAILY STATEMENT.

The strikers executive committee is- sued the following statement this af- ternoon:
 To-day our strike is ITO days old, and our boys are in good fighting trim, even though they were defeated by our Bridgeport brothers Saturday Our boys were used white by their Bridge port friends, and taking everything in 10 consideration 1t was a big success for the boys down there. They also like ourselves are fighting for a grand principle -Unionism and liberty.
 ''Unton and liberty is the great prin- cfple of united labor. Itis the corner stone of our civil government. It was the battle cry of the boys of '76. It was the sentiment that inspired the soldiers to march in their bare feet over the snow and ice of Valley Forge, It was the cry when Washington pushed through the icy Delaware and soaked the scab Hessians at Trenton Tt was the battle cry of the boys of '61 at the battles of Williamsburg and Malvern Hill-the cry of union and liberty was on the lips of the brave Sheridan when he made his famous ride and turned the tide of defeat to victory. Without union there can be no liberty. If any of our states should set up an Independent government we would take the leader in that state and hang him for treason With the great developments of the industrial world to-day. with the formation Oi the huge trusts. it is absolutely neces sary to preserve unionism. Destroy unionism and pou crush liberty in ouI land. And all citizens. rich and pool alike. will suffer.

Eo verdiot Vet In yonen Murder.

CHARLOTTE. N. C., June 29.-A special from Wilson, N. O., says: 'The jury has not yet agreed on verdict in the Jones murder case. They now have had the case more than twenty four hours, and there is no indication that they are ready to render a verdict. Judge Shaw visited the courthouse, but was told by the officer that no yer dict had been reached. It begins now to look like a mistrial. The judge, however, has decided to keep the jury together until all hopes of verdict are given up, and it is probable that he will keep them together all of this week if they fail to agree"

Tvyenty-four Mexican Miners Killed.
 BARRATOERAN, Mexico, June 29. Twenty four miners were killed and about fifty others injured in an explo- sion of gas that occurred in Las Els peranzas coal mines, the property of the Mexican Coal and Coke company. The disaster was caused by the igni- tion of the gas by the flame from de- fective lamp. As soon as it was known that the flames had subsided miners went below to ascertain the extent of the damage, when the dead bodies of twenty -four men were brought to light. A call of the roll has shown that they were the only ones who perished, though others may die as result of their injuries.

A White Mans Colony.
Baltimore Sun.

Baltimore Sun
An incorporated company has pur-
chased Il large tract of land in Ala
bama on which an interest inc expert
ment is to be made. 4 colony is to
be established and into that colony
black or yellow face will not be adj
mitted. Land will be sold to settlers.
but the sale will be coupled with the
condition that no negro shall be en-
ployed as workman or servant. or
permitted to purchase any part of it.
The land of this white man $ colony
is said to be Il fertile tract half as
large us the State OF Rhode Island.
lying in Baldwin county, Alabama,
within the black belt" of the South.
1t is the theory OF the promoters of
this scheme that the presence of the
negro in the South excludes the best
class OF white labor. which will not
come to work side by side with the
black man. This colonization scheme
is, therefore. an interesting expert
ment. If it is found that white labor
can do the field work so near the
Gull OF Mexico, il the colony prospers
without negroes better than adioin-
ing communities do with negro Ia
Dor, then the theory of the promo
ters OF the colony will be justified.
While the great Western and North
wern prairies were being peopled
with the very best blood of the New
England and Middle States. and splen-
did States were being formed and ad-
mltted to the Union. none of the tide
OF emigration touched he South. and
it was the negro largely that kept it
away. Today there is room for far
greater population i'll the Southern
States than they contain. There are
not enough people to till the soil as
it should be titled and the Gland would
be greatly benefited by an influx OF
good, white citizens. The white mans
colony i'll Alabama will be watched
with interest.

Rescued from Suffering
and Death by
PAINE'S
Celery Compound
THE GREAT 1EDICINE.
Mr.. ALFRED BROWN,
A Prominent and Popular Citizen, Says:
"After the Use of Paine's Celery Compound,
Am Now in the Best of Health"
THE GREAT 1EDICINE.

The greatest of modern physicians, Prof.
Edward E. Phelps, M. D., Ii. D., after years
of long practice and close scientific study, gave
to suffering and diseased men and women his
marvellous, life giving prescription, with the
conviction and positive knowledge that it had
peculiar virtues and ample powers to cure.
Thousands of the strongest testimonials from
the best known and most reliable men and
women of our country fully sustain the claims
made by DR.. Phelps regarding his incompar-
able Paine's Celery Compound.
One of the most convincing proofs furnished,
comes recently from gentleman widely
known in the capital city of the Dominion of
Canada. We refer to Mr.. Alfred Brown, 81
O'Connor ST., Ottawa, Ont. Mr.. Browns
letter fully demonstrates the fact that the
greatest sufferer may cast off his or her burden
of disease and become well, strong, and happy.
1t proves, too, that the great medicine main
tains more fully than ever before its unrivaled
place in the estimation of people of wealth
and social standing as well as with the masses.
Mr.. Brown says
81 acknowledge with thankfulness and
pleasure the fact that have been cured of a
very painful illness of eight years standing by
use of Paine's Celery Compound. l had,
during the years of my illness, tried almost all
the advertised medicines without deriving any
good results. l was also treated by several of
the best doctors of this city, hoping to find
that one of them, at least, would understand
my case.
81 was getting worse, and was told was
incurable. was indeed in a critical condi-
ton. l could not 60 from the house alone,
as | was liable to sudden collapse. | tried
hospital treatment, but no relief or good results
came to me. could not sleep; anything that
I ate increased my agonies; was extremely
weak, restless, tired, and respondent; was
obliged to walk about with my hands pressed
firmly into my left side to ease my pains; my
feet and hands were cold continually; had
inclination to vomit, had profuse, cold sweats,
quick breathing, and would be racked with
pain for hours at time.
"After the regular use of Paine's Celery
Compound for time, l am now in the best OF
health, have good appetite, and can use any
kind of food. Thank God ! am my old self
once more, all through the use of Paine's
Celery Compound"
