The third annual dinner of the
American Booksellers Association,
held in New York a few days ago, the
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr, spoke on the
negro question. The first subject dis
cussed was the consideration of the
steps to be taken to revive the re-
tail book trade and stop cutting Of
prices by large stores. In this mat
ter thespeaker declared that the main
tenance Of fair price for books was
the only hope Of the retail bookseller;
that the public is prepared to pay
fair price and that the matter Of 10
cents more or less, which means little
to the purchaser, frequently repre-
sents for the bookseller the margin Of
loss or profit.
Dr. Dixon, talking on the negro
question, said
Race prejudice is of two kinds.
One Is a mean thing. This is the pre-
judice which proceeds from fear OF
another races superior powers or abil
tiles. Such is the prejudice against
the Jew. Il exists simply because the
Jewish race is the most persistent,
powerful. Commercially successful race
that the world has ever produced.
Thousands Of them have been asslmi-
lated by America and thousands more
will be assimilated.

ERRING WIFE coNFEsSEs.

Mrs. surdick Forced to Tell In Court
Of Her Wrong'Doing.
A dispatch from Buffalo, N. Y,
says: Mrs. Alice Null Burdick, wild.
ow Of Edwin l.. Burdick, underwent
merciless examination by District
Attorney Coatsworth Monday after.
noon at the resumption Of the inquest
into the death of her husband, who
was murdered on February 26.
With q package Of letters in his
hands, some Of which were written to
Mrs. Burdick by Arthur R. Pennell,
correspondent in the divorce proceed
ings instituted by Mr.. Burdick and
other communications between Mr..
Burdick and his wife, Mr.. Coatsworth
forced to tell the story Of her rela-
tions with Pennell from the time he
first made love to her in New Haven,
in 1898, until 1901, when these rela-
tions were renewed after Burdick had
forgiven his wife and had taken her
back to his home for the sake Of their
children. -.
Mrs. Burdick was deathly pale
while on the witness stand. She an
swered questions in low, faltering
tone, evading a direct answer when
ever possible, and reluctantly admit
ting facts when the district attorney
pitilessly read extracts of the love let
ters written to her by Arthur R. rem
nell.
When the inquest was resumed at 2
o'clock most of the spectators in the
chowded court room were women.
There was. hum of excitement when
Mrs. Burdick took the witness stand.

Al,eued Swindler Jailed.

A Columbia special says: There ar
rived in Lexington few days ago
well-aressed white man who called
himself C. ]. Crawford, representing
an insurance company Of Williams
port, Pa. Shortly arter his arrival he
became w. S. Walker.
On last MONDAY Henry Minis, col
ored, of Lewiedale, swore out a war
rant for him upon the charge Of oper-
ating an insurance swindle. He was
located in a negro house, and while
the constables were waiting for him
to come out of the house he attempted
to escape by jumping out OF a second
story window, undressed, and running
for a nearby swamp. After chase
he swas captured and committed to
Jail.
The strangers victims were princi-
pally among the ignorant class Of ne
groes. After collecting the premiums
he would deliver printed form OF
policy, in the nature of a certificate
without any writing on it, date or sig
nature. These worthless papers were
generally accepted in good faith by
the ignorant negroes.
Crawford, or Walker, is said to be
wanted in Georgia, where he made his
escape by breaking jail.

In the heads of her four little children
Monday, threw their bodies into
closet, scattered oil over them and
herself and then, after setting all on
fire, closed her awful work and her
own life by cutting her throat.
But for the accidental discovery OF
the fire the deed of the mother might
have been hidden forever from the
world by the destruction OF the
house. Two boys happened to oe
passing the house when they saw
smoke coming from a window. They
burst in the house and tried first to
put the fire out with buckets OF water,
but it gained on them so fast that
they were obliged to run for help. The
neighbors prevented the flames from
reaching above the first floor.
Up to that time no one knew OF the
tragedy. But some one noticed that a
closet door, which seemed 70 be more
charred than the rest of the wood
work. was open, and, glancing inside,
q blackened mass was seen. In this
heap were the bodies of Mrs. Burke
and her four children. The fact that
she killed them was not disclosed un-
til one by one they were taken out,
and then 1t was seen that every one OF
the little ones had itshead split open,

was seen in the gaping wound IN her

PRESIDENT CASTRO RESIGNS
But Venezuelan Congress Is 10th to
Let Him Go, and Beg His
Reconsideration.

A special from Caracas, Venezuela,
says: President Castro has resigned
He placed his resignation in the hands
of the Venezuelan congress after read
ing the presidential message.
In the ordinary course Of events,
President Csstro's term would have
ended February 20, 1908. He was
elected president of Venezuela last
year in February for six years. He
had been elected provisional president
Of Venezuela on March 80, 1901, by
the constituent assembly. Senor Cas-
tro, when the presidency changed
hands some time previous to that date,
had proclaimed himself president. and
the United States government In No
vember, 1899, had oncially recognized
the defacto government headed Dy
him. The action of the constituent as
sembly legalized his position and In
vested him with the full powers OF
presidential ruler to the limit of its
authority. Up to that time, while be-
ing generally recognized as president
of Venezuela, he had in reality been
simply dictator Of the republic. A
year later, as already stated, the Vene-
zuelan congress ratified his election
and regularly installed him as presi-
dent Of Venezuela for term of six
years, dating from February 20, 1902.
Congress Refuses to Accept.
4 later dispatch from Caracas says:
The Venezuelan congress, by a unani'
nous vote. has declined to accept
President Castros resignation, and
has passed a resolution requesting
him to reconsider his decision. 1t Is
believed that President Castro will
yield to this expressed desire Of con-
gress, and remain in power.
The News In Washington.
Saturday night Secretary Hay re-
ceived a dispatch from Mr.. Russell.
the United States charge at Caracas,
confirming the report Of President Cas-
tros resignation, but stating that ne
doubted If the Venezuelan congress
would accept It,
The first intimation received by Sec
retary Hay of President Castros resig-
nation was given him by the Associa-
ted Press dispatch announcing the
fact. He would not discuss the mat
ter, however, beyond stating that the
news was unexpected.
Herbert w. Bowen, Venezuela's s
plenipotentiary in ashington, like
wise had not been informed until

STEAMERS In COLLISION.
Freiahter and Passenger Boat Of Fall
River Line Crash In Fog-Sx
People Lose Life.

A special from New London, Conn,
says: Travelling at a moderate rate
of speed through Long Islano sound,
early Friday morning the big passen-
ger steamer Plymouth, of the Fall Riv-
er line, bound for Fall River, from
New York, and the freight steamer
City of Taunton, of the same line,
came into collision in the fog just east
of Plum island, the bow of the freight
steamer raking the starboard side OF
the Plymouth and causing the death OF
six of those On board the lymouth
and serious injury to a number OF
others.
The complete list of injured Is i'm
possible to obtain, for the reason that
many who were slightly hurt were at
tended to Immediately upon the arrival
of the Plymouth at New London wharf,
and then proceeded on their way.
Three of the injured are at the hos
pital.
The responsibility for the accident
has not yet been determined, and will
be the subject Of an investigation. 1t
Is said by the officers Of the two yes
sells that both were going at o fair
speed, considering the fog, and that
there was no time after the warning
whistles which followed the lookout's
discovery Of the danger, to avert col
lision.
The steamers apparently were under
good headway when they met. The
bow of the City Of Taunton, which
was proceeding westbound from Fall
River to New York. penetrated ten feet
into the bow of the eastbound vessel.
When the vessels pulled apart the bow
Of the freight steamer raked the upper
works of the Plymouth, tearing out the
second cabin and ripping out state
rooms like card board. Seven cabits in
all were swept from the starboard
bow Of the big passenger boat.
