Roanoke ChOwan Times.
There is much talk of harmony in
the Democratic party by those who kick
ed up so much muss and left the party in
1896 and 1900. This handful of boilers
want the millions who remained in the
party to get down on their knees, coz
fess they were wrong, and invite the
boilers to take charge of the party shIp
and steer it where they please. The
masses of the party have learned some
thing and are not likely to acknowledge
any masters.

tells an interesting story of the dis
covery of strong evidences of the
treasure hidden by Lafitte, the pirate
chief, which he says lies at the bot
tom of Galveston bay instead of being
buried on Galveston island, as has long
been supposed.
He says the dredgeboat George
Sealy has been pumping up old Span
ish coins and other rare relics of an
cient times from the bottom of the bay
for several days past, and the boat
crew believes the bulk of the treasure,
which is said to amount to hundreds of
thousands of dollars in gold, will be
recovered.
In addition to the coins several hun
dred pounds of copper bolts have been
pumped up from the same locality.
These bolts were used in the construc-
ton Of ancient sea-going craft. The
latest date on the coins is 1912. Huge
stones have also been encountered in
the bottom of the bay, and it is thought
they were placed there by Lafitte to
mark the location of the sunken treas

or if a weak Liberal Ministry is re-
tanned in power only a short time, Mr..

Ministry. According to an authority
thoroughly cognizant with Mr.. Cham

AN INSANE ARMENIAN

FRESNO, September II. - Manoog
Avedesian, an Armenian lad aged 10
years, was this afternoon committed
to the asylum at Stockton. The case
is OF peculiar interest, especially to
allen1sts, for the reason that the bows
insanity was brought on by Witness
ing his relatives slaughtered seven
years ago.
AT the time he was living at Har-
poot, Asia Minor, and the Turkish SOL
dlers descended on the town. They
attacked the house where Avedesian's
uncle and cousins We're staying. and
they We're all murdered in cold blood.
The boy hid in a corner of the room.
and when the soldiers had finished
their bloody work he ran out of the
house and hid.
When he was discovered he was a
physical and mental wreck from
fright. He was brought to this coun-
try four years ago and soon developed
epilepsy. He has had the care of the
pest physicians, but they We're able to
do nothing for him. They felt sure
that the boys condition was produced
by witnessing the terrible massacre.
and now their diagnosis is confirmed.
for in his rawlings he constantly refers
to it and thinks he is called upon to
aVenge the horrible deed.
