welt administration in the Northern States than ever before In the entire history of the country It Is now general convic- tion among thoughtful people that the negro was never in more peril as to his future than he has been subjected to by the seriously unsound policy of the Pres ident of the United States. People &C., customed to weigh public utterances for possible moral effect look upon Roose- velt's harping upon the color of the vic tins of mob violence as S simply a breed reed mobs It is not forgotten that last spring when President Roosevelt lavish ed the tribute of his best eloquence upon a company of negro troops at Spring field. Illinois, and appealed for fair play to the negro, he had hardly got to the White House before mobs in Illinois had hanged and shot to death different ne- groes. His continual championship of the negro has not lessened the true white mans race pride. and has only melted the bad negro to senseless insolence or worse; When the white mans resentment and rage at the negro's brutality against the weak and defenseless of the white race can be controlled by such sentiments as Mir. Roosevelt has written to Governor Durbin for the negro voter to see. then will the white hot bowels Of Vesuvius serve to keep snow balls intact.
 Deprecation Of lawiessness. condemna- ton of mob violence and passiOn-ma dness depiored as it is in every pI,T part sof the the
 impulse of virtue unless the color of the victim be considered. Thus is the Pres luenI s IeIter 10 GONeTnOT DuEDln lnIeT- preted. The frail, defenseless figure of the child of some poor white parents, mu- tilated and bleeding to death, must be forgotten while the color of the horrible and guilty criminal is considered. This from the man who boasted of killing Spanish soldier as he ran from him. Southerners in Washington who have lived all their lives in peaceful relations with negroes, resent the insult to the white race contained in the Roosevelt. Durbin correspondence. and they ardent | a election capable white citizen in the South will go
 to the polls and vote for the retirement into obscurity of the arch-promoter of race discord who is now President of the
 United States. He has made a race is- sue for the next campaign and that he will hear from 1t is as certain as election comes. There are many who believe it would be a dangerous thing to make the question an issue. but there are many who do not see how 1t can be left out while Roosevelt Is a candidate. In his
 unconscionable egotism which may be admitted as honest conviction, he imag ines that he can solve the race question and be done with 1t just as he thinks
 he did with the anthracite coal strike. It is as plain as any indication that has come from him that he expects the pol icy he has adopted on the negro will elect him President of the United States He expects to rise into fame far above the great negro emancipator as the great negro elevator.

 This from The New Orleans Picayune: Great f1eas have little fieas to bite 'em; And so on, ad infinitum.
 This was said by the witty Samuel But Ter.
 Nay: this was said by greater than Samuel Butler; it was said by Jonathan Swift Yet it is not quoted as Swift wrote it-though the sense is the same.-Port- land Oregonian.
 At the risk of being charged with what what Shakespeare calls "damnable iter- ation," let's get the quotation correct. De Morgan wrote: Great fleas have lesser fieas upon their
 backs to bite 'em, And little f1eas have lesser fieas, and so
 ad infinitum. And the great fieas themselves, in turn,
 have greater f1eas to go on, While these again have greater still, and
 greater still, and so on.
 But a century before De Morgans time Jonathan Swift wrote:
 So, naturalists observe, a flea Has smaller fieaS that on him prey; And these have smaller still to bite 'em; And so proceed, ad intinitum. If Samuel Butler also wrote something on the same line, we do not now recall it.

HIS LAST HOPE REALIZED.

From the Sentinel, Gebo, Mont)
 In the first opening of Oklahoma to settlers in 1889. the editor of this pa per was among the many seekers af- ter fortune who made the big race one fine day in April. During his travel ing about and afterwards his camping upon his claim, he encountered much bad water, which, together with the severe heat, gave him a very severe diarrhoea which 1t seemed almost inn possible to check, and along in June the case became so bad he expected to die. One day one of his neighbors brought him one small bottle of Cham
 berlain's Collie, Cholera and Dlarrhoea Remedy as last hope. A big dose was given him while he was rolling about on the ground in great agony, and in few minutes the dose was re- peated. The good effect of the medi- cine was soon noticed and within an hour the patient was taking his first sound sleep for fortnight. That one little bottle worked a complete cure, and he cannot help but feel grateful. The season for bowel disorders being at hand suggests this item. For sale by all druggists.

 NEW YORK, June 1e.--The trial of Robert A. Ammon, formerly counsel for William F. Miller Uf 52O per cent notoriety, for receiving $30,0oO of the money feloniously obtained by the Franklin syndicate was continued be- fore Judge Newburger in the court of general sessions.
 The first witness was Frederick l.. Cantwell, formerly clerk employed by the Franklin syndicate, but now a policeman attached to the police sta. ton at Voorhees, avenue, near the Shore road, Brooklyn. Cantwell said he made two deposits in the Franklin syndicate of $50 each for his mother and grandmother. He never received anything in return.
 Rose Lipmann of Thirty-seventh street, Brooklyn, depositor in the syndicate, testified to visiting the of flee three times, at each of which she deposited $50. The, last visit was only two days before the syndicate went to pieces, and she received two dividends, one on $50 and one on $1o0.

 It's difficult position for Boss Mur- phy. Devery does control the district. He masters the majority of the votes there. His delegation was thrown out of the democratic state convention at Saratoga, but it was there with the vote behind it. Now if Murphy yieros and surrenders to Devery the places he covets, the vile character of the man and his following may defeat the whole Murphy ticket. If on the other hand Murphy sticks it out and refuses to recognize the ex-ohief of police how many votes will the big fellew draw off?

A Raid in Mott Straet

X Raid in Mott Street. not make their piaints heard. There were tales told, ghastly tales, but true, that made men turn pale and clench their fists.
 Perhaps the memory of these things has a little faded by now. But lest we forget
 The other day house was raided on Mott street-not in the Chinese part of that famous thoroughfare; the Chi nese are more decent. The police found it a literal rabbit warren of hooks and crannies where terrorized women might be hidden. There were closets walled off from the ends of passages, only to be detected by measuring the floors and comparing with the rooms: there were false floors with traps be- heath which slender girls could lie. Out of such crannies the men in blue pulled eight women.
 Later came an alarm that an Italian girl, young, knowing no English, had been stolen. The police again visited the same house and with them went this time an old reporter of the very conservative Evening Post, which is often accused of slowness but never. of sensationalism. The girl was not found, but all the hideous machinery of traps and secret passages was found just as the earlier raid had revealed it.
 No trace of the girIwas found during 2 the visit, but it is evident that her cap- tors were we'll scared, for upon the next day she reappeared. She had been concealed behind trap door during the search and next morning was led into the street with little shawl thrown over her face so that she could not identify her whereabouts. In the next street her conductor whisked away the shawl and suddenly left her blinking in the strong sunlight.

5ERVIA'S NEW RULER
Prince Peter Made King by
 Senate and House.
AMNESTY TO BE GRANTED ASSASSINS
Narageorgevitch Accepts the Throne Rendered to Hssn by the People. Perfect order Now Pre-
 vails I'm Belgrade.


 BELGRADE, Servia, June 16.-Peter Karageorgevitch has been elected king of Servia to succeed the murdered. AL exander Obrenovitch. The election was made by the senate and the skupshti- na (house of representatives) in joint session, and the vote was unanimous.
 It is expected that resolution grant ing amnesty to all those who took part in the recent murders will be passed.
 The Servian army officers held a meeting at which it was decided to publish the names of the conspirators who were in the plot for the assassi- nation of the king and queen, ''be- cause" according to the resolution adopted, Lit could not be tolerated that they should renounce the reward of their brave deeds"
 The election of Prince Peter Kara georgev1tch as king was enthusiastic ally acclaimed by the people.
 King Peter has sent dispatch from Geneva announcing his acceptance of the throne.
 A proclamation signed by all the ministers was read by President Veil mirovitch, who took /the chair at 8 joint session of the senate and skupsh' tina. The proclamation said:
 Every one knows of the events which took place last Wednesday night, when the late King Alexander lost his life. Servia remained without king or heir to tho throne The friends of the fatherland, having heard 0S fhN AvAnf Ynnf tn diaaJlSz vvhaf should be done for the country. The result of their consultation has been the constitution of government and the election of King Karageorgevitch. , The fact that his election as king of Servia was quick and unanimous, how ever sad might be the conditions sur rounding it, may be regarded of fair augury for the speedy return of nor nal conditions in Servia. It was great. ly hoped that the new government would enable the powers and every one else to forget as soon as possible the cruel events which had recently con- vulsed the country. Seldom has policy and sentiment been confronted with such almost frreconcilable contradic- tion, but it is believed that the best has been done under the circumstances.

'sstrong armed" The Pretty Mllrners. into coats too big for them and as- sured that ''it fits like de paper on de. vail" It was the kind of trading that succeeded best with men partly drunk, and that made the most of it's sales after people in other parts of the city had gone to bed. The goods were cheap, and if wisely bought not had bargains. Most of them were secondhand, but cleverly faked to conceal the fact. I have no doubt that Baxter street was boon to many poor man who kept sober enough to know what he was doing.
 Fifteen years ago the system was at its height. The "pullers-in" were brawny fellows. full of fight. Ere quently they got into conflict over a promising customer, when the poor fellow would fare like an angleworm seized by two fish at once. Of late years the police have been obliged to Interfere with such rough methods, and one can venture into Baxter street at any hour without fear.
 Division street is less than half as famous as Baxter, and until last year it was more than twice the fun. It is the great East side millinery quar- ter. Imagine a long succession of shop windows filled with the cheap est possible hats and bonnets, and in front of each door, instead of a brawny prize fighter. a girl skilled in language and full of wiles. In- suits for her rival saleswomen, bland ishments for the girl customers, sar- casm for those who pulled them selves free from the detaining hand and went their ways--oh, it was all wosth seeing!
 It's all spoiled now. A sort of trust has been made up of the former rivals. There is still puller-fn before each shop, but she seldom ventures beyond: ssWe have some very nice hats, lady; won't you walk in? 'Twon't cost you nothin'," or some mild-as-milk obser- walton of that sort. In some ways the town does get less interesting.

The old man lost much money of late years. He went into politics, which is good way to get rid of s,iperfuous wealth. Worse than that, he invested in stableful of race horses and went upon the turf. However shrewd he may have been in Baxter street, he was child on the track, and presently failed.
 He drifted into the produce busi- ness in Brooklyn, and his native shrewdness won him another fair fortune, which he left to his eight children and his 24 grandchildren.

ALLIGATOR PEARS.

Alligator pears have not grown any cheaper since Porto Rico became part of the United States, and New York CTS cannot see their favorite sum- mer salad is any more plentiful than it was five or six years ago, when the fruit began to be eaten in this city. There has been no change in the prices. The fruit companies do not import the alligator pears curiously enough, and the supply here is rarely equal to the demand. Those that come to this market are brought up by the stewards and other employees of the steamers that ply between this country and Porto Rico. ..., s+
 The pears are difficult to keep unless they are plucked when green and brought here to ripen. Then they have not nearly so much flavor as when they are brought here just as they have begun to ripen.
 Tn this latter case there is little cer- tainty that they will last for more than few hours after they arrive here. It is their extreme perishability that prevents the fruit importing com panies from dealing in them.
 In Porto Rico the pears are so abund- ant as to be practically worthless. They are not appreciated by the na- tives as they are here.
 Most New Workers still eat them with French dressing after they have been peeled and cut into slices. Some persons, however, declare that the real flavor of the alligator pear is to be appreciated only when 1t is eaten with little salt They simply cut the pears into two pieces, salt the inside and eat them with spoon.
 Other new ways of eating the pears is to peel them and after mixing them with such salads as lettuce, romaine, or escarole, pour over French dress ing in which vinegar plays very small part
