Case of Cruelty at Lima.

A most shameful outrage was per-
petrated on a poor laborer by rail-
road detective who caught him steal
a sack of coal from a car. The de-
tective fastened the mans arms
around telegaph pole by the use of
handouts, and left him standing in
that position for an hour, in water
up to his shoe tops The man was
nearly frozen before he was discov-
cred, and his hands were badly lacer-
ated by the handouts. When he was
discovered, crowd rapidly gathered
and there was strong talk of mobbing
the detective, who hid in barn. He
was dragged out of his hiding place
by city official, put under arrest fol
viol alton of the humane laws of the
State, and bound over to Court
The man who was mistreated, con
fessed to stealing coal, but said hi
family had been sick, he had used vi
all his money, and had no fire to keel
the room warm, He should hav'
made his wants known to his neigh
bors and not have resorted to theft
but even stealing was no excuse TO
such brutal conduct.

success all around. The house was
well filed with attentive hearers, not
withstanding the cold, windy
weather. The addresses, recitations
and songs were both instructive and
entertaining. ii. G. Moore, the
county secretary, and A. G. Carter,
assistant secretary, of Bellefontaine,
were present. The former explained
the Home Department work and the
latter gave good address on "Per-
sonal Work in the Sunday School, "
which was ably followed by several
other speakers. The next meeting

PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT has written
a characteristic letter to the Atlanta
Constitution on the criticism of his
policy in appointing colored men to
Office in the South. where they are
in every way qualified for the posi-
tions to which they have been ap-
pointed. He says he has nothing to
apologize for, but is open for COM
mendation for the stand he has
taken, and says: 81 certainly cannot
treat mere color as permanent bar
to holding Office any more than
could so treat creed or birthplace
The President has been lenient
toward the South, and has not heed
lessly offended their susoeptibilities,
but he will not bulge an inch on q
question of right and rights.
