SOME INTER ESTTNG TESTIMONY.

General James H. Wilson has long been citizen of the State of Delaware. He gives this testimony: Our city is in a perilous condition, and the entire State also, as result of the lynching. Mobs of both colors have held possess sion of our streets every night for week. The most of the entire trouble lies in the lawless political elements in the city. MT. Addicks has so influenced the colored citizens, has taught them such contempt for law and order, that it is not to be wondered at that we must now reap the harvest. The blacks have been made to believe they will be protected in anything. They have been shown by the wholesale vote-buying and political corruption that the law can be evaded and justice trampled un- der foot. Such course of corruption must bear fruit.
 The Baltimore Sun, which is ac- quainted with the condition of things in Delaware, gives similar testimony. It says: It is politics. That has been the bane and the curse of the negro for thirty years. It was the political lead CTS from the North who sowed the seed of enmity toward his white friends and neighbors in the heart of the negro. It was politics and the price of his vote which attracted the class of negroes to which White belonged to Delaware, and it is politics which largely creates that class of negro criminals which is found in every part of the South. * If political conditions should attract a large negro population to the northern States, as has been done in Delaware, then the people of those States may learn lesson about the race problem which will cause them to repent of the harsh and unjust criticisms of the South and it's people who have been facing that problem for a generation and in that time have drunk the very dregs of the cup of bitterness.
 Just how much truth there is in this only those who really know the situa- tion can tell. But reputable and trust worthy southern men and newspapers are saying it as if they really believed it.

4 STIR IN ILLINOIS.

The decision just handed down by the Illinois Supreme court as to the sale of liquor in clubs and other social institu- tions not provided with a regular license is expected to result in an immediate ef- fort to compel them to comply with the requirements of the law. The courts decree leaves no room for doubt as to the meaning and effect of the existing statutes on this point. Under the gen. eral laws of the State, it is pointed out, no person has the legal right to sell spirituous liquors without license. The mere fact that the liquors may be sold by corporation organized "for literary, social or benevolent purposes or that they are sold only to persons who are members of such organizations makes no difference
 Commenting on the failure to enforce the license provisions in the case of clubs the Chicago News says: It is to be noted that the federal government permits no such negligence where the sale of liquor is concerned. The internal revenue officials seem to have no diff1- culty in learning where liquor is sold and in compelling the payment of license fees. An investigation made by the News shows that whereas the inter- nal revenue officials are collecting reve- nue in Cook county from more than Ill., 700 firms or individuals engaged in the sales of liquor, the city of Chicago col- lects from only 7,106 within the city limits. Making due allowance for the number of licenses which the govern ment issues for drug stores and for sa- looms in country towns, it is estimated that more than 2,OO0 concerns or indi- viduals in Chicago are successfully evading their just payments to the city. It is time to end this state of affairs.

4 GOOD BOAT.

The performance of Shamrock IT. Saturday indicates that she is pretty good boat. It was her first trial trip with Shamrock I. The two boats start ed from Scotland lightship, and in a very light southerly wind beat ten miles. Then they had close reach of about five miles and then ran back to the lightship. The run was about fif- teen miles, The challenger showed that she is vastly superior to the older boat under the conditions on all points of sailing, and those who watched the trial are satisfied that the coming races for the Americas Cup will be the clos est and most interesting that have yet been sailed. There were some watching the trial who insisted that the Sham rock III. is a faster boat than the Re- liance.
 A closer race than there has lately been would be pleasing all around, and it wouldn't be entirely discouraging if the plucky and polite Sir Thomas should succeed in getting the cup. It is evident that the hope which springs eternal is springing strongly now in the breasts of those interested in the English boat. But there's many a slip between the cup and Lipton, and tho Reliance was built and will be sailed for the purpose of adding another slip to the list.

WONDERFUL AUTOMATA.
Secret of Their Mechanism Died Witt

Secret of Their Mechanism Died With the Inventor.
 "Few persons in the mechanical world have not heard of the automatons of the famous Neuchatel mechanician of the eighteenth century" says a writer in the Scientific American. Most peo-
 pie would not know where to find au- tomatons of Jaquet-Droz. They are said to be in Russia, in England and scattered here and there throughout the world. But the most remarkable of these masterpieces are in the possession of Mr. Henri Martin, of Dresden, where they are the admiration of all those who happen to visit Dresden, and are able to examine them. According to the information kindly furnished us by MT. Martin, the automatons are in good condition and work as we'll as at the time when Jaquet-DroZ exhibited them to the sovereigns of France, Spain and England, though now they must be put in operation by hand.
 "One of this wonderful mans clocks went for very long time without being rewound. This kind of perpetual move- ment was produced by different metals expanding and contracting at the same temperature. Another clock, without being touched, answered the question, What time is it?' It must be presum- ed that the breath of the questioner was sufficient, by a delicate combination, to put the mechanism in movement. Still another exhibited the hours, the min utes and the seconds, the center of the dial indicating the course of the sun through the zodiac, and the four sea- sons, and the different phases of the moon in perfect accord with it's evolu- tion The dial was lighted at the time of the full moon, and the stars appeared and disappeared at the required inter vals. This artificial Armament was cov- cred with clouds if the weather was un- pleasant, or lighted if it was clear As soon as the hour was struck a chime was heard. It played nine different melodies, to which an echo responded. A lady seated in a balcony, holding a book in her hand, accompanied the mu- sic with gesture and look, from time to time took a pinch of snuff, and bowed to those who opened the glass door of the clock. When the chiming was end ed a canary, standing on the hand of a child, whose gestures expressed admir- ation, sang eight different airs. A shep- herd came in his turn and played on the flute, and two children danced around. Suddenly one of the children threw

For the Picnic Senson.

Come to the woodland bowers, Let us now hle away; Gather the sweet wild flowers Through the long summer day. Come to the woods alluring,
 Flee from the dust and heat That we have been enduring, Nature again to greet. There, where the birds are singing, On the greensward we'll lie, Where violets are springing,
 Some purling bro0klet nigh. Worries that now distress us, We'll leave them all behind. Contentment shall possess us, Enjoyment pure we'll find. Then let us get to packing
 The sandwiches and cake, The pie must not be lacking, Some lemonade we'll take. For Nature sweet doth backon And must not get snub, And Natures claims. reckon, Include pile of grub.

WHY NOT?

These are the days of big schemes, and there is apparently nothing prepos- terous in the scheme of the man who has come to this country to interest United States capital in his plan to transport people from the United States to Paris by rail in fourteen days. M. de LobeTs scheme contemplates the use of railroads already constructed in this country, Canada and Russia, with the addition of a route to be known as the Transalaska- Siberian railroad from Irkutsk via Jakoutsk, East Cape, Beh- ring Strait. Prince of Wales Cape to Yukon City. As it appears, even to M. de Lobers enthusiastic. brain, an ir1- possibility to construct a ferry across the thirty-six miles of Behring Strait, his idea is to build tunnel. and then his connection will be complete.
 M. de Lobel only wants six years and $2Q0, 100000 for the completion of the road. The time isn't much and the money isn't, when the capitalization of some of the companies which exist in the United States is considered And the tunnel under Behring Strait doesn't seem impossible. So before very long we may hear the cry in New York station: Express train for Paris now ready on track seven! Through without change!"

Those who are tired" may find some thing to interest them in the case of Thomas B. Abemathy. an insane man Mho was arrested at Carthage, Missouri. He knows he is often sick but thinks the cause is misunderstood by physi- clans. The earth. he says, sometimes gets strengthened for room in which to revolve because the stars come to near, and on such occasions he gets a feeling of helplessness. He has seen many other people unable to work and is sure their trouble is due to the same cause.

Ibsen has given up reading newspa- pers or books. He writes no letters and does no literary work. He seldom sees any one except his servant and mas seur. He never leaves the house at Copenhagen, but is able to move about in it with the aid of two canes. Five years ago he was still quite active and as regular as Kant in his habits. Every day he took the same walk, stopped be- spra tyie~ clock on the university building to regulate his watch, and then read the newspapers in the Grand Cafe.
