THE pIsoRDER IN EVANSVILLE.

THE DISORDER IN ENANSNl Lille.
Following the race riots in Evans
Vile, Ind, Sunday night and yesterday
morning the situation is still menacing,
and outbreaks are liable to occur at any
minute. The day was one of nervous
dread. Early yesterday afternoon the
Evansville company of military quickly
assembled around the jail and is
waiting there under arms. The blacks
and whites passed each other yes
terday with dark looks, and firing has
been heard in various parts of the city
during the afternoon, but no serious re-
suits have followed and the firing has,
it is thought, been the work of few
unruly characters who wanted to foment
excitement,
Mayor Covert issued the following
proclamation late yesterday afternoon !:
''The condition of anarchy and law
lessness that prevailed in this COM
munity Sunday night was a disgrace to
civilized people, and a repetition OF Its
scandalous proceedings viii not be toler-
ated. 1t ia hereby ordered that all
saloonkeepers in the city close their re-
spective places of business at 6 o'clock
D. m. and keep them closed until a. m.
Tuesday. All congregations of people,
either on the street corners or in other
public places, are hereby prohibited.
All persons carrying arms or any kind
of veal ons for attack or defense, or any
thing with which an attack or defense
could be conducted, shall be arrested.
ANY boisterous or incendiary talk will
constitute sufficient ground for arrest.
The chief of police is hereby intrusted
with the faithful performance of this
order and if it shall require special
force of 500 men to restore peace and
quiet, he is authorized to furnish the
same"
Baptsttown was being depopulated
last night. Negro families by the
dozens were leaving, some of them tax
ing refuge in the open country. New
burg road leading to the west was lined
with negroes, some in wagons and some
camped by the roadside. Nearly all
are armed. The firearms and ammuni-
ton taken from the stores broken into
Sunday night are still in the hands o
those who composed she mob.
Alarming rumors and reports are in
circulation, and there is feeling that
there may be another outbreak. Ne
groes are said to be mobilizing at Bap-
tisttown to advance on the whites, and
a crowd of 200 white, is said to be arm
ing to repulse this attack and wipe out
the negroes.
Rumors last night that an Evansville
mob might go to Vincennes, Ind, to
lynch Lee Brown, the negro who killed
Patrolman Massey, and who is in Jail
there, have caused great excitement,
though the more conservative say there
Is no possibility of this.

Much political significance is attached
to the presence at Oyster Bay today of
Senator Hanna. Secretary Hay has also
been invited to Sycamore Hill. The

impress upon Senator Hanna his duty to

bring the Wall street financial
interests into line, If, as has often
been reported since the merger de-
cision these powerful financial fac

the leaders of his party that the insisted

Senator Hansbrougll numbers among
his North Dakota constituents an eloquent
French Canadian, who speaks the patois
huently and Is an exceedingly useful
member of society in campaign time for
keeping voters of his own nationality
within the republican fold This anecdote
was told yesterday in a senate committee
room about one Of the Frenchman's char
acteristic speeches:
''My friends said this French Canadian
orator, this United States. is wonderful
country. Every one of you may be elected
to the common council. Then few OF
you may be elected to be governor OF the
state. or one of you may be elected TO

isn't this then, a more wonderful coun-
try than Canada?' asserted the orator,
reaching the climax. Over across the
border not one of you could ever hope to

THE MAGAZINES

Chance to See Philippines in ST. Louis
That means the islands and not the peo-
pie. The Philippine exhibit at the great
fair will be thirty-five acres In extent.
So says William P. Wilson in the excel
lent December number of the American
Monthly Review of Reviews. Among the
features of the great exhibit will be "a
great map 125 feet long and so feet broad
will represent the islands in elevation. 1t
will be built upon q raised platform aof
cement. and SO adjusted that the visitor
can walk around the entire map on a
handsome raised platform of bamboo The
map will show the relation of the islands
to one another and the waterways between
them, and the geogra phical relation Of the
whole to Japan on the north, China on
the west, and Borneo and the Celebes on
the south. At the very entrance
of the grounds will be a representation of
the Walled City Of Manila. It will show
the massive old Spanish walls surrounded
by moats, pierced with embrasures for the
guns. and great ports and gateways." H.
L. Elnendorf. writing for the same naga-
zine, says: "a boy Of II should intimately
know the English Bible. He should know
it as literature quite aside from it's re-
ligious teaching. He should know it from
having had it read to him from his earliest
years. and from reading and studying it
for himself. A boy who grows up without
this intimate acquaintance with the great
masterpiece of all literature is without
something for the loss. Of which nothing
can compensate and which nothing can
replace.

The Rural Mail Carrier.

Fourth Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Bristow recommends that the
salaries Of rural mail carriers be in
creased from $500 to $3.50 year and
that they be restricted to the per-
formance Of their official duties. If
the rural carrier Is to give the gov
.ernment all his time, he certainly
ought to have as much of a salary as
the city carrier who does not have to
provide horses and wagons. At pres
ent the carrier ekes out his salary by
means Of all sorts; of; little commits
sions performed for the people along
his route. AS his regular pay is al
ready too small an increase of $3.50 in
his salary Is not enough.
1t is a grave question whether Mr..
Bristow is not making a mistake In
recommending that carriers be for
hidden to: conduct sort of private
express and commission business OH
the side. Half the benefits of rural
service will be lost for many of Its
patrons if they are deprived Of. the
purchases for them or attend to other
matters ia town.

there will be such a. demand for the
