Mr.. Henderson NJ. SOmerVllle, gen.
eral appraiser OF the port of New
York, democrat. a native of Virginia
and a former member of the Alabama
supreme court, contributed a paper TO
the North American Review for Octo-
Der on the subject: Some C~o-operat-
ing Causes of Negro LynchingS." And
thereby hangs or may hang a tale.
For 1t is alleged that Hon. Theodore
Roosevelt has become so moved by the
article in question that he contemplales
the removal of Appraiser SomerVllle,
though under the law he will have to
appoint another democrat to succeed
him. Speaking of this proposed action
The New York Sun says: w do
not imagine that Mr.. Roosevelt Woui
dispute the statements of fact that lie
at the basis of Judge SomerVille'S a.
ticle. We refer to such statements as
the following: FIRST. the crime Tor
which most of the lynchings of colorEd
men occur in the south is the forcIble
violation of white women by negroes,
or an attempt to perpetrate this dia-
bolical o~ffense. Secondly, no such
crime was ~perpetrated during the era
of slavery, or even during the CIVIL
war, when the white women Of the
cotton states were left comparatively
unprotected. Thirdly. the crime has
become almost extinct in MISSISSIPPI
and the black belt OF Alabama SINCE
the negro vote has been eliminated in
those states as a political factor.
Fourthly, the localities where the lei-
nOus crime occurs are almost always
those in which the negro holds the ball
ance of political power. or where his
unsurpassed vote is eagerly counted
and ardently solicited as of value N
doubtful contests between political
parties. 1t cannot be for the formula
ton of these statements of fact that
Judge Somerville's removal from office
would be contemplated by any fair
minded man.-NOrfOlk VirvinIan-PilOt-

Portland July lin search ot
his son, William, from whom he
had received no message since
last March, J. T. Shepard arrived
in Portland this morning from Mt
Vernon, Ill, and without waiting
to register at hotel, walked rap.
idly to the police station where he
made anxious inquiry of Capt. Geitz-
macher. He was told that moth
ing was known of his son. but if
he would return in an hour, an Off
Ger would b. detailed to go with
him, and aid him in the search.
Hardly had the hour elapsed,
when the aged father walked into
the station, and told the captain
that he~had located his boy. He
is working in cannery at Annita,
Wash.,' - said the father. II met
young fellow on the street, who
told me where he is. Before I
would believe him, I took him to
the sheriffs Office, where they knew
him. They say that my son is
slightly mentally unbalanced, and
that, probably accounts for the fact
that he has failed to write u.s.
To Capt. Gritzmacher the father
stated that it was through fortune
teller that he and his wife were
made aware that his son was not
right. He said that when they
failed to hear from him. his wife
went to Medium, who told him
that the boy was is core distress.
After the medium finished, it was
quickly decided that the father
should come West to seek the lost

Ms Howard was once a society
girl of Montgomery Alabama. and
just before the civil war she visited
Richmond, where she led the cotil-
ion at the seasons most notable af-
fair. It was during this visit to
Richmond that she met circus
clown to whom she lost her heart.
There is no record of her marriage
to him, but at any rate the mem.
bers of her family, one of the oldest
in Alabama, were shocked the fol-
lowing year 10 learn that che had
signed contract with circus man
ager and had begun what was to be
a most notable career. She was
forbidden ever to enter her home
again.
Miss Howard sold papers the day
she died. The last morning she
spent on earth was bright and
warm. She left off selling papers
about 10 O'Clock and went to News
pa per Row to settle her weekly
bills. Then home, dinner for the
dogs, two hour map" and her
daily walk. AS she was returning
home she had a 1ghing spell and
swooned. A hsmorrhage followed,
and she was taken into dwelling
at 730 Orleans street, where she
died few minutes later.

New York, Feb. 1O.-Whateve1
the result to the minds of Sir Lip.
ton and Designer Fife, there was
nothing about the work of the
Shamrock III, Monday, to cause
Yankees to fear. The two Sham
rocks sailed a tnirty-mile course in
a breeze varying from eight to ten
miles All hour, the challenger fin
lshing in 3 hours 8 minutes and &c
seconds. Assuming that she would
allow the Shamrock I ten minutes,
the time would be reduced by that
extent.
But the test was calculated to
bring out the top speed of any fore
and aft rugged vessel. The sailing
was merely a broad reach out and a
close reach home. Another "But"
(and bigger one)-the Reliance
covered similar course, under as
near the same conditions as it is
possible to judge, in better than 10
minutes less time.
This does not mean that Reli-
ance is ten minutes faster than
Shamrock III exactly. but it is as
significant as can be of their rela-
tive abilities. Yachts don't race by
the clock, for cups.
Shamrtcx III kicks up more fuss
going through the water than her
predecessor, and much more than
the probable defender. It is at her
bow she tumbles the water most,
though her counter wave is of not
dimensions. And this
in smooth sea.
