An immensely wealthy Jew. q Mr.
Kudey, locked all his valuables in a
large safe. For ten hours the Rus.
SANS worked on this safe, managed to
open 1t, stole everything worth taking
and then burned his house.
The Jews were not allowed by the
police to protect themselves. When
they gathered together in bodies for
self-presercation, the police made
them disperse, and go. one by one to
their homes. Here they were mur-
dered by the Russians. Many chris
tians. it is said, were murdered be-
cause the drunken Russians could not
discriminate between them and Jews.
DR.. Doroschewski, the head pbysi-
clan Of the National Hospital at
Kishnef, after examining the dead
and wounded, has given the following
specific Instances OF hideous cruelty in
a dispatch from Kishineff, Besarabia,
to the New York World:
Jewess named Sara Fonarschi was
brought here with two nails seven
inches long driven into her brain
her nose.
"A Jew was brought in with one
nip, both ankles and wrists broken,
and severed hands and foot dangling
BY the skin.
4 Jew named Charlton lost her up
per and under lips, which had been
cut away with a kitchen knife, after
which the tongue and windpipe had
been pulled out through the mouth
with pinchers.
The ears Of Jew named Selz had
been cut away and her head battered
INTO twelve pieces. She was a raving
maniac,
"A carpenter was, surprised at his
work and both hands were sawed off
with his own saw.
"A Jewish girl was assaulted by sew
sral brutes, who then cut her eyes out
With pocket-knife.
"One woman, after trying to defend
ler children, was thrown to the pave
nent, disem bowelled and feathers and
1orsehair from her bed was stuffed in
20 her body.
Small children were flung out of
;he windows and trampled upon by
he mob.
Forty-seven were kill, d on the
pot, and eighty died from their in
uries, and three hundred are under
reatment, many being crippled for
ife.
-Four thousand Jews are without |
ood or shelter and it is impossible for
hem to get away"

GEN. GoRDoN's SPEECH.
AS Gen. Gordon rose to rep

AS Gen. Gordon rose to reply he
was enthusiastically cheered.
Gen. John 3. Gordon said in part:
ITO my thought it is most fitting
that this proud and patriotic organiza-
tion shoIld meet again in this historic
city which gave it birth. The meet
ing Of such men as you welcome today,
whose past deeds will remain forever
an inspiration to American ralor and
to future sacrifices for constitutional
freedom, is an auspicious event in the
country's history, whenever and wher-
ever it may occur: but how peculiarly
Inspiring is this reunion in Louisiana,
ON this Tooth anniversary Of her birth
into governmental alliance with
American States. a Roman eye would
have discovered in meeting Of such
men, at such time, an omen OF good
to the cause of liberty; and, Amerl-
can eyes should see in it nothing but
good to the whole republic. 1t must
Of necessity be benefcent and only
benehcent. We will not indulge on
this centennial--this political millenial
morning-nor at other times in any
bitterness. We feel none. We pity
those who DO We have long since
drawn the curtain Of oblivion over the
repretful and unseemly things of the
past: and we ecflerish as Americans the
valor and noble deeds Of both armies
and of all sections. We are satisfied

Was Murdered.

A dispatch from Langley to The
State says a gruesome picture present
ed itself to some passers-by Wednesday
morning on the Langley dam about
one-fourth mile from the mill. They
saw the body Of human being lying
cold in death. Upon examination it
proved to be the body of Joe Wertz, a
negro man who has been in the en-
plCy of the Langley Manufacturing
company for number Of years. WertZ
had been struck a heavy blow on the
back Of his head and then his throat

A Bank SuspendS.

a dispatch from Greenwood, to The

suspended Wednesday. The news
was as astounding as it was uncxpect-
ed. The first intimation Of the sus-
pension was thc posting Of the fol-
lowing notice on the front door:
Combinations Of circumstances, cou-
pied with unusually heavy demands
on US, absolutely forces the City bank
to suspend; creditors and depositors
will be paid in full, but it will take

GOV. HEARD.

Veterans, the outcome OF the
struggle that you carried on for four
long years against the most powerful
forces and urmaments that the world
has yet seen, in no manner or sense
can obscure the glory and fame that

total enlistment of 100000 you con-
fronted 2,SO0,O00. OF these in round
numbers 500, 600 were of foreign birth
and had Europe been in formal alli-
ance with the north, It could scarcely
have been expected to send more
than this number OF its organized
soldiery for it's quota in such coali-
ton. Considering the 200,0 600 negro
soldiers, the 500,000 foreign soldiers
and the 100000 native Americans,
it is not extravangaut to say that the
100000 Cocfederates confronted a
coalition Of America, Europe and
Africa. When we consider these in-
dIsputable facts we cannot but have
commisseration for the person who
would seek to detract from the un-
paralleled resistance made by the
armies in gray, uby impugning the
motives by which they were impelled
to make this truly legendary defense

NO PATENT ISSUED
To MIR. ID. G. Zeisler for Perpetual
Motion Machine.

The Washington Evening Star says:
The commissioner Of patents, Mr..
Frederick l. Allen, has stated posi-
lively that the patent office will not,
under any conditions, issue patents on
so called perpetual notion machines
and that no patents for such machines
have been issued by the office for the
past forty years. This statement
Of the commissioner was made in re-
sponse to an inquiry of reporter for
the Star regarding the alleged issue Of
patent for a perpetual motion ma
chine to a man in South Carolina.
This man claimed to have received a
patent for his machine, and long
articles praising him and the machine
have appeared in several Of the lead
ing Southern papers. 1t was a clip
ping from one Of these papers, which
contained, among other things, an
alleged statement of the patent Office
officials regarding the utility and prac-
tical merit Of the machine, which
brought forth such an unqualified de-
NAL from Commissioner Allen.
The clipping was brought to the
commissioner by Star reporter with
a request for statement as to its
truth. Mr.. Allen did not hesitate to
pronounce the statement false. 1t
has never come from the patent office,
he said.
''The article to which you call my
attention." said Commissioner Allen,
published in a daily paper Of Colum-
bia, S. c., and entitled Perpetual
Motion Machine Patented. First
Patent in Forty years. The Inventor
a Sumter Architect, MI. D. G. Zeigler
Generates Power for Effective
Work. is absolutely false where it
says, in respect to this inventions: 1t
is the first perpetual motion invention
that the United Sta:es government
has allowed a patent for in forty
years. because the patent office IS not
allowing patents upon perpetual mo-
tion machines at the present time.
"a long description appears in this
article, preceded by the words: The
United States patent office has the
following to say about the machine,
and at the end Of it-"This indorse-
ment by the patent bureau shows that
MI. Zeigler has hit upon a practical
machine. Mr.. Zeigler took bis
machine to Washington and illustrat-
ed it, putting it to practical test, and
the commissioners we're so well pleas
ed with it that they told him that bis
application would be filed and al
lowed
These statements are so utterly
false in their application that the
patent Office would do anything so
foolish that it is difficult to conceive
for what purpose this article was writ
ten, unless it was prepared to cast
discredit upon the operations OF the
United States patent office, or else to
induce ignorant people to embark
their money in a fraudulent enter
prise. 1T is enough to say that the
United States patent office does not
intend to assist in any schemes OF such
nature"

The thirteenth annual reunion Of

the most successful. There were

and that promises to disappear before
the morning. This was the illness Of

of the organization. lie was not we'll
when he left his hotel for the audi
torium and has not been in his usual
health for several days His strength
was not in reality sufficient for the
ordeal to which he subjected himself
and before the close Of the opening
session he was a greatly wearied man.
Nothing but his grim fighting spirit
carried him. through the day without
something akin to collapse. He was
not able to attend the afternoon Ses-
sion at the auditorium, and remained
quietly in his room at the hotel, re
ceiving no visitors. His condition is
IN no manner serious. but it is pos
sihle that he may not be able to pre-
side at all the sessions at the audito-
rum between now and Friday noon
He expects, however, to be present
Thursday.
When the hour for opening the
convention arrived the platform was
crowded with fair women and men
whose names are household words
throughout the south. Gen. Gordon
was delayed somewhat in reaching the
grounds and his entrance into the hall
was an ovation. Cheer after cheer
rang through the building as ne came
rapidly down the aisleS leaning on the
arm Of Adjt. Gen. Mickle. He was
surrounded instantly by group Of
friends as be reached the rostrum and
for time was unable to reach his
chair. No sooner was he seated than
fair young woman, Miss Tarlton of
Waco, Tex, approached and bending
down kissed the general. He sprang
quickly to his feet to acknowledge the
honor with repeated bows. Gen. j.
B. Leyert, commander Of the Louis

Grams, called the assembly to order
and introduced the chaplain general,

an eloquent invocation. Then, in sue

her, and the cheers were redoub!ed

Judge John Reagan, the sole survIv-
ing member Of the Davis cabinet,
then spoke from one portion OF the
rostrun. while numbers Of the Old
soldiers threw themselves upon Gen
Gordon at the other end. The recep-

voice and Gen. Gordon at the same
time, when Gen. S. D. Lee interfered
with the gavel, heSeeching the crowd
to be silent and to allow Gen. Gordon
to rest.
Mr.. Reagan spoke but briefly after
this. and an adjournment was taken

A CANADIAN EXPEDITION
May Make Break for the Much Cow
eted North Pole.

Ottawa, Oct. lit is probable that
the Canadian Parliament, before the
close of its present session, will vote Il
money appropriation sufficient to in
sure the speedy organization and de-
spatch of Il Canadian expedition in
search of the North pole. Since Cana
ada claims all territory north, it is con-
-sidered by public men here that it
would be most appropriate for the
honor of discovering the pole to fall to
a Canadian. 1t is thought, also, that
rich mineral tracts may be found in hte
polar regions. such as have been dis
covered in Alaska and Siberia.
The Canadian minister of marine
states that the original scheme of this
expedition contemplated a grant of
$125,OC0 to Capt. Bernier the French
Canadian navigator, who will have COM
mand, to help equip him for the voyage
Recently, however, a strong delegation
in which We're many senators and
members of Parliament urged that the
government build or purchase Il suit
able vessel for the enterprise
I'VE have immense territory in the
direction of the pole" said the minister.
"and if by risking 100000 in furnishing
Il vessel we could do something to ex-
plot it, / believe the country would ap-
prove"
Capt. Bernier. who is now in his 5lst
year, is Il skilful navigator, having
commanded a ship ut the age of II. He
has since commanded As ships. His
plans for the polar search have been
approved by several notable Arctic ex-
plorers, including hansen.
Capt Bernier proposes to enter the
Arctic by way of Behring straits and
then pushing as far northward as pos
sible, drift eastward to the polar region.
He has for years made Arctic naviga-
ton a special and all-absorbing study.
Besides the cost of the ship, about
Sl2o,0e0 will be required for equipment,
half of which sum already has been
realized by public subscription through
Capt. Bernier'S efforts, and as soon as
the government gives its sanction to
the scheme, the balance will be quickly
raised in the same way.
The ship will be provisioned for six
years. She will be heated and lighted
throughout by electricity and will have
a wireless telegraph plant. Automobile
| carriages will be provided for the pur-
pose of running on the ice.
Capt. Bernier is of the opinion that
the Fran, Nansen's ship, could be pur-
| chased by the government at low fig
| ure. If. however, it is deemed advis-
able to furnish a new ship, as will prob
| ably be the case, the vessel will be
built on the Pacific coast. 1t will be
constructed upon some unique and
| original lines, designed by Capt. Ber-
| nier himself. which the experience OF
| Arctic navigators. as well as his OWL
experiences in those seas, have taught
| him will be desirable to meet the diff
cultes ard perils of the polar ice fields
