LYNcHING Is MURDER.-"Every man
who participates in the lynching or
the burning Of a Negro Is a murderer
pure and simple"
This opinion was given by Associate
Justice David G. Brewer Of the su-
preme court Of the United States, who
is in this city on private business.
"Of course" explained Justice Brew
er, there may be extenuating circum-
stances which would vary the degree
of the crime, but the principal parti-
cipants in the crime would be held by
any court in the land for murder In
the same degree as If the crime were
committed by the individual.
There Is going to be reaction
against the atrocious crimes with
which the papers have been filled.
The people are now interesting them
selves in the discussion Of this problem
more and there Is a tendency toward
a change. I expect that it will come
soon. l cannot say what form 1t Will
take but there will be an uprising of
popular feeling against lynching that
will result in legislation or remedy
of some other form. WIS.,,

CHAPTER XVIII.

THE AA1D O6 6nAOo1Anh.
~ EXPECTANCY, concern, the
dread of uncertainty marked
the countenances Of Grau-
stark's ministers and her chief
men as they sat in the council cham
Der on the day following, awaiting the
appearance Of their princess, at whose
call they were unexpectedly assem-
bled.
All realized an emergency. Not one
in that assembly but had heard the
vivid. soulful sentence from the throne.
Not one but wished in secret as Gaspon
and Halfont had wished In open
speech.
When the princess entered with the
prime minister they narrowly scanned
the face so dear to them. After the
greetings she requested them to draw
chairs about the great table. Seating
herself in her accustomed seat, she
gazed over the circle Of anxious faces
and realized, more than at any time In
her young life, that she was frail and
weak beyond all comparison. How
small she was to rule over those strong,
wise men Of hers How feeble the
hand that held the scepter!
MY lords" she said. summoning all
her strength of mind and heart, Il am
gratified to find you so ready to respond
to the call Of your whimsical sovereign.
Yesterday you came with hearts bowed
down and in deepest woe. Today l as

advice concerning the events OF that
strange day. Bolaroz will do as he has
promised. We are to have the exten'

ring. Good things, It asserts, like rud-
dy blood, were meant to be kept in
brisk circulation, and soon congest and
stagnate in any system that does not
with strong, pulsing heart send them
coursing through every artery. vein and

the same merry or touching stories are
lighted on in every age and in every
region Of the globe-in China, India,
Europe, America and most likely, Pat
agonia. They were too good to keep
that tells the whole tale. The sailor
on the Chinese junk told them to the
East Indian pearl diver, and he to the
Persian trader, and the Persian trader
to the Arab date merchant, the Arab
date merchant to the Greek ballad
singer. Wherever donkey and camel

fires or in swarming bazaars, there
they "swapped stories" That was all.

AMERICAN MANUFACTURES.
A Few Facts From tho Greatest Story
of Modern Times.

The main cause Of the increased i'm
ports in the United States is the de-
mand for manufacturers materials,
which amounts to about $40,O00,0OO
worth a month. For II months ended
with May the exports Of manufactures
increased slightly. while the manufactu-
rers' materials for the same were $685.
900 900 larger than in 1902, and $131,-
0O0 900 than in 1901. The figures, for
one thing, denote an increased home
consumption, the result of conditions
of high prosperity. While imports
have grown, home production has
more than kept pace. Pig iron was
manufactured in the United States in
1902 to the amount of 17,s00,000 long
tons, against 100000 tons in 1900, an
increase Of 30 per cent. In two years
cotton production gained 100000 bales
and wool 3O,OOO.OOO pounds.
Raw silk, India rubber, fibers and
iron in a partly manufactured state are
among the articles imported in larger
quantities. This fact means greater
activity in manufacturing in the United
States. American locomotives shipped
to the Soudan are admitted to be
cheaper in initial cost and more eco
nomical in running than those Of Brit
ish make. American firms are building
power transmission systems in Mexi-
CO, a bolt plant in Buenos Ayres, min
ing plants in South Africa, foundries In
Canada, lathes for Madrid, an ice ma
chine plant in Central America, iron
mining works in Norway, oil separating
plants in England and Russia and the

tenn at Bath, England. American man.

REMEDY For OBEsTY.-"There Is no
better remedy for obesity than the juice
of the frosted pokeberry," said doc
tor. 1.-The value Of this plant was
discovered in an odd way. A Penn
sylvania physician who was a great
gunner noticed how ravenously In the
fall, the birds fed on pokeberries, and
how they consisted, at this season, OF
little more than skin and bone. There
fore he asked himself why the poke
berry shouldn't make human beings
thin, even as it did the birds. He
gathered lot Of the globules, squeezed
their Juice on sugar tablets and tried
them on several corpulent people. One
man lost forty pounds in three months,
feeling no inconvenience, but actually
gaining in health and strength while
this change went on in him. A woman
lost fifteen pounds in two months. An

NuRTuRED sy She WOLF.
Mountain Baby Fit Successor to Rom
tffr" H. ..l n.,.,,.

From Ewing, thirty miles from here.
comes story 80 strange and startling
that it has attracted much attention,
and that steps have been taken to eth
er prove or disprove it, for II 1t is true,
a new fact in natural history has been
established and the much -maligned
wolf will take q higher place In the
estimation Of the human race.
Several weeks ago, according to re-
ports that have reached here. an infant
daughter Of william Dunphy. pros
pector, who lived in the hills overlook
ing Ewing, with his wife, was carried
OH one afternoon by a wild animal.
Search was made for the little one,
but no trace Of 1t could be found, anu
the babe was finally given up for dead.
Ever since then the father has spent
his time in the hills seeking the bears
and the wolves which are numerous IN
the mountains, slaughtering them
wherever found, while the mother has
sat and wept and pined away over the
fate Of her child.
While Dunphy was hunting in the
mountains yesterday he came on wolf
den, which showed signs Of being occu-
pied. He waited for long time, ana
then, as no wolf came forth, he decided
to enter the den and see for himself
what was in 1t.
AS he entered the place he heard the
cry Of child. Advancing, he saw
sight that almost turned his hair white.
Lying on a bed Of grass at the end OF
the den was a big mother wolf, with
several pups playing beside her, while
close to her side was his lost baby, try
ing to get a dinner from the mother
wolf which seemed to enjoy the tug
ging. ''-
The wolf simply growled, but made
no attempt to escape or to make an at
tack when the man approached. She
was attached to the child, apparently,
and had been nursing 1t. At least that
is the supposition, as the little one was
well nourished and was without
scratch.
Two men who have come from Ewing
today have told the same story. Both
men hitherto had excellent regulations.

The silence OF death stole into the
room. Every mans eyes were glued
upon the white face Of the princess
and none could break the spell. Not d
word was uttered for many seconds
Then old Caspar's tense muscles re-
iaxed and his arms dropped Imply
from their crossed position on hia
breast.
"My child. my childp' he cried life
lessly. "You cannot do this thing!"
"But the people?" cried Gaspon, his
eyes cleaning. "You cannot act against
the will Of the people. Our laws, natu'
raj and otherwise, prescribe the. very

unless he be Of royal blood, can share

"Knowing that. my lords, ] have
come to ask you to revise our laws.
My throne will not be disgraced by the

She spoke as calmly as If she were
making the most trivial request instead
Of asking her ministers to overthrow
and undo the laws and customs Of ages
and Of dynasties..
"The law Of nature cannot be chang
ed," muttered Caspar as If to himself.
"In the event that the custom cannot
be changed | shall be compelled to re-

"You would not leave us-you would
not throw aside as despised the crown
your ancestors wore for cepturies?"
cried Gaspon.
The others were staring with open
mouths and icy hearts.
"Yes, as much as it would grieve me,
I would do all this" she answered
firmly, not daring to look at her uncle.
Her heart ached to turn to him with a
prayer for forgiveness. but there could
be no faltering now.

CAUGHT IN A LOG JAM.
Thrilling Fishing Experiences In North

Upon one occasion In northern Mich
igan I was trout fishing in company
with a veteran timber cruiser, man
who knew everything about the rough
bush life. says a writer In the Worlds
Work. In time we reached bend
In the stream where q lot Of small
logs had 1ammed during the spring
freshet. My comrade unconcernedly
ventured upon the logs, and before I
could follow by some mischance he
stepped upon loose one and instant-
ly disappeared. Had not been looking
at him it is likely should have imag-
ined he had crossed and gone into the
brush upon the farther side. One log
Of all the mass was rolling, and hand
showed at one side Of 1t. To dart
across and seize the hand occupied but a
few seconds, but to my horror I could
not pull him up through-the narrow
space through which he had slipped.
To set foot upon the log either side
the opening and shove with all strength
was the only hope. For seconds ] chung

Slowly the logs separated and up he

stomach across log. Half drowned

he gasped. and a moment later he was
on his feet. Most men would have
weakened then, but he was iron. He
had swallowed lot Of water, had been
cheek by jowl with an awful death, yet
he had no idea Of proving false. The
logs were slowly slipping farther apart
and 1 was standing like q certain large

stand much more spreading or TO spring

out making me endure the misery tnat
will come to me If l desert my fathers
throne and the people who have wor-
SHIPPED me and to whom am bound by
a tie that cannot be broken. l do not
plead SO much for the right to rule as
do for the one who may rule after l
am gone. 1 want my own to follow me
on the throne Of Graustark."
Then followed long, animated dis
cussion, growing brighter and more
hopeful as the speakers viking hearts
warmed to the proposition. Lorry was
favorite, but he could not be their
prince. Hereditary law prohibited.
Many times the princess and her wise
men met and overcame obstacles, huge
at first, minimized in the end, all be-
cause they loved her and she loved
them. The departure from tradition
ary custom, as suggested by the prin-
cess, coupled with the threat 10 abdi-
cate, was the weightiest yet the most
delicate question that had ever Collie
before the chief men OF Graustarh.
For the first time in the history OF tie
country u woman was sovereign; for
the first time there had been no direct
male heir to the throne. With the
death of old Prince Ganlook the mas
culine side Of the illustrlous family
ended. No matter whom his daughter
took for husband, the line was bro
ken. Why not the bold, progressive,
rich American? argued some. Count
Caspar held out until all were against
him, giving way finally In a burst OF
oratory which ended in tears and sobs
and which made the sense Of the gath
ering unanimous.
The Princess Yetive won the day, so
far as her own position was concerned,
but there was Lorry TO 6e considered.

Baxter and Co.'s Cotton Letter.

New York, Aug. 15.-Cables were a
trifie lower to-day. The Chronicle
summary was pretty fair but not quite
as good as expected. The stocks in Liv-
erpool suffered loss of AZ, 900 bales
during the week. The appearance of
worms in Alabama gave some concern
to shorts. and so did the numerous re-
ports of continued rains. Dry hot
weather is absolutely needed now to in
sure fair crop, and without it in view
of the lateness of the crop the question
so bulls contend win be how small a
crop will be made as repeatedly stated,
the trade continue to refrain from do
ing much, pending the arrival of new
cotton, and there are no signs of any
great quantity turning up in the near
future. OF course the receipts in the
course of time must necessarily look
very heavy by comparison, but the pc
Rod for such movement seems re-
mote. Prices here opened a few points
lower, but there was very little doing.
Nothing was heard of the hurricane in
the Gulf. The bull leaders were not in
evidence, and the trade was simply
looking on and watching. The crop
uncertainties were too serious, how
ever well it may be now doing, hence
the present hull in speculation. New
York stocks are down to $4,000 bales.

STOCKS AND BONDS.

New York, Aug. 15.-Operations in
to-day's stock market were made up
largely of professional trading, an i'm
portant proportion of the stock ex-
change membership having left the city
for an end of the week holiday. The
professionals were inclined to work for
a reaction, owing to the rapidity of the
weeks recovery in the market, which
might be assumed to have buflt up a
vulnerable account on the long side Of
the market.
London evidently took the same view
of the situation and had made some
inroads upon last nights prices here be-
fore our opening. The selling by the
arbitrage operators quickly carried
prices down TO the London level. There
was also free profit-taking in Amalga-
mated Copper, attracted by yesterdays
late squirt. After the London selling
was completed there was a pause and
then a vigorous recovery. which re-
trieyed practically all the losses. This
was apparently in anticipation of a
favorable bank statements The state
ment did not meet this expectation.
The loan contraction. in view Of the
weeks augmented buying Of securities,
might have been regarded az a pleas
ant surprise. but the sentiment OF the
market seemed more influenced by the
loss of cash where a considerable gain
had been hoped for. The market sold
off again TO about the lowest and closed
easy with net losses Of a point or more

evidence of the withdrawal of the pre-

The declines were moderate in view
of the trailers, who appeared in time
to take advantage of the situation and
bid the price down. Only moderate
lots changed hands. Little is heard
as to the probable course of the tur-
pentine market. A reaction such as
has come was to be expected, for the
rise was known to be too rapid to
hold. An evidence of the sort of ad-
