CONGR ESSMAN
BURTON'S
IGNORANCE

BURTON's ton of Kansas is
IGNORANCE quoted as saying
the Egyptians
were negroes. and Moses of old mar
ried a negress. In his argument with
Senator Tillman of South Carolina,
Senator Burton has wilfully misstated
the facts through ignorance or per-
versity.
Moses never married negro, nor
were the ancient Egyptians negroes.
Every attainable historical fact will
rrove this. No negro tribe or nation
that ever existed could enslave the
Jews. The negro from the jungles
of Africa only found places in the
life of the old-time dwellers along
the Nile as eunuchs in the harems.
1t is pitiable that a United States
senator in showing his regard for the
negro and in an attempt to defend the
people of tic lortl in their race
views as he happens to see them
should display his ignorance and boy
colt historical facts in such manner.

GLAD SHE
USED A
HORSEWH|P
Mrs. Hathaway MOI. Sorry for
Her Attack on French at
Worcester Last Night.

Worcester, Mass, April 2s-Mrs. Aifce
M. Hathaway. a young woman OF this
city who, It is claimed, gave Forrest ]
French a severe horsewhipping last nigh,
and drove a woman who was in car
riage with him from the vehicle, does not
regret her act. Her story CT the differ
ences which led to the exciting episode
is as follows:
Mr.. French has been keeping company
with me. but the other day we parted by
mutual consent. Last night ] saw him
driving down Walnut street and saw a
woman with him. / was not looking for
him at the time, but when I did see him
i followed him and saw him stop at the
Waldo street stables.
IT walked up and stepped upon the car
rfage seat. Hohiing on with one hand
I wrenched the whip away from him and
hands in order TO strike HIM better and
got the reins away from him. knocked
his hat of and struck him again. as many
as six times, across his face.
BY that time he got the whip away
from me and the horse started so jump
ed OF and hurried away. The woman
who was with him screamed when /
struck him, and Jumped out. / wish
had had a chance TO strike her with the
whip too. I am not sorry that horse
whipped him, am sorry any one saw
me do IL but might do II again just the
same.
1t was agreed between US that he would
not 20 with any other girl right off, be-
cause that would shame me. l did not
care how many women he went with, and
l told him so, but / did not want him
TO go with them where ne would be seen
so soon after breaking with me, because
everyone knows we have been together
and IL would make me look so foolish. -
Mr.. French admits that Mrs. Hatha-
way administered the long whip about as
she described.
THAT woman has been an awful bother
TO me-" he said. 81 have only been a
friend TO her. Z never made love to her
and never asked her to marry me. She
has followed me day In and day out, and
/ could never get rid OF her. have In
my possession threat written by her In
which she wrote that she would kill me
dead
she has followed me and fought with
me in public and / could do nothing 10

she gave me last night is the limit, how
ever. l shall telephone to her folks
today and ask them TO take her away so
she won't bother me any more
