Fitzhugh Lee Doesn't Believe In
Lyncling.

Kansas City, Mo-, July 29.-General
Fitzhugh Lee was here yesterday on his
way to lecture in Beloit, Kan. Speak
ing on lynching, he said; 81 don't be-
lieye in lynching. Nobody believes in
lynching. Be careful that you get that
right. / don't believe in lynching.
Nobody does. However, there is one
of the objects attained by lynching that
is seldom considered. Ifs man, say a
negro, shall assault woman, perhaps
some very dear relative of yours, he has
got to be killed or arrested. 1t this
negro is arrested after his crime and is
brought into the courtroom, the woman,
the one who has suffered already, is the
principal witness. She must appear,
and perhaps, under the cross-exami-
nation of lawyers, relate every detail of
the assault, thus subjecting her to
humiliation to an extreme degree"

The College of Cardinals.

Rome, July 29.-The second OF the
last three high requiem masses for the
repose of the soul of Pope Leo was cele-
brated in the Sistine Chapel today. The
ceremony was similar to that of yester-
day and was on an eqally grand scale.
All day the city saw remarkable inter
lude in the papal ceremonies, in the
Italian governments celebration of the
third anniversary of the death of King
Humbert. The public buildings and
other edi6ces in the city had their flags
flying at half-mast. King Victor ar
rived in Rome early and attended a mass
at the Pantheon where Humbert is buried.
The Pantheon was the centre all day
for the pilgrimages of Italian societies,
marching with banners. AT all the
other churchs memorial services were
held for the late pontiff.
This morning the College of Cardinals
held their ninth congregation for the
nomination of conclavists or attendants.
Each cardinal is allowed one priest and
one servant, who must not be a mer-
chants lawyers or Princes agent, or
the brother or nephew of the Cardinals
Cardinal Oreglia will take the oath OF
each that he will not betray the secrets
of the conclaye or repeat anything which
he may hear during the meeting. All
the exits to the Vatican will be closed
by brick walls, with the exception Of
the portal into the Royal Hall, which
will be locked twice, Cardinal Oreglia
keeping one key, and Prince Chigi, as
hereditary guardian of the conclave, the
other. The Prince will remain on the
outside. Ecclesiastical authorities hope
the Pope will be elected by Sunday,
which is the feast of the Pardon of Saint
Francis, when the highest indulgence
are given. 1t will also be the feast OF
Saint Dominicus, whose arms show a
dog with burning torch, which seems
to fulfil the prophesy of Malachi that
such would be the emblem of the next
Pope. The flaming torch is part OF
Cardinal Gotti's coat of arms, and many
see in this coincidence another indica-
ton in that cardinals favor.
Rome, July 29.-The Tribuna declares
that Cardinal Gibbons has opened a
campaign among the cardinals for reform
in the Church, and adds that this has
scandalized the Italian cardinals.

COURT OF APPEALS AT WYTHE-
WILLIE.

The Court of Appeals of Virginia will
meet in Stanton September LIST. Among
the Commonwealth cases to come before
the court at that time is one of great in
terest, involving a test of a statute pass
ed by the General Assembly of Virginia
of 1897 and 1898, prohibiting the use OF
trading stamps, checks, ETC., in the ma
ture of gift enterprises. The case is that
of Albert Young VS.. the Commonwealth,
from Clarke county. Young, it seems,
was convicted of violating the statute
prohibiting the use of trading stamps and
was fined $40. From that judgment he
appealed, and the case has now found
its way to the Court of Appeals, where a
test will be made Of the constitutionality
of the statute under which he was fined.
The appellant is represented by Hon.
Marshall Mccormick, of Berryville, and
the Commonwealth by the Attorney-Gen-
eral. Six or seven years ago great deal
was heard of the trading stamp scheme,
as an inducement to trade, but the legis-
latlve enactment appears to have put an
end to the project. = Richmond Times

BULLET FLATTENED ON HIS JAW
BoNE.-Many athletes have pined for
the cognomen "The man with the iron
Jaw" but it has remained for Henry
Geyer. of Chicago, to show the ponce
that he deserves the name. during
quarrel over pitcher of beer Geyer was
shot by James Ludden. The bullet hit
Geyer in the jaw on the left SIDE, ana,
though the wound bled profusely, the
bullet fiattened on the jaw without even
splintering that member, according 10
physicians who attended the injured
man. Geyer says he thought for few
minutes that he was killed, but he soon
found that he was not even knocked
down. He walked to hospital, and
had the bullet removed and the wound
dressed without taking an anesthetic'
He then walked home. SO far as can
be learned Geyer is the first Chicago
man to be shot point-blank in the jaw
by .38-calber revolver and fail to suf-
fer broken jaw. DR.. /. G. Gary, who
removed the bullet, said it was easy to
take the bullet out, as it had circled the
iawbone and lodged inside the mouth,
Just under the skin. The physician says
that Geyer's escape from broken jaw
is due to the nearness of the pistol to his
head. Geyer's face was badly burned
by the powder

UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA. The

ANARCHIST IsAAK.-Anarchists held
a social session last night at the home of
George Brown and Mary Hansen in
Philadelphia. The occasion was the
visit of Abraham Isaak, one of the most
prominent deciples of anarchism, who is
at present touring the East. Isaak lives
in Chicago, where he is the editor of
Free Society, a publication devoted to
the interests of anarchy and, according
to its own description, "a periodical of
anarchist thought, work and literature. "
Isaak was seated at an old-fashioned
desk, near window, looking cut upon
a small patchwork of garden in front of
the antiquated frame dwelling when a
reporter was admitted. After greeting
the visitor Mr.. Isaak explained his pres
ence in the city, and the reporter asked
him if it was true that he had aspirations
for the preside initial nomination on the
socialists ticket. "You forget that |
am an anarchist and not socialist, re-
piled Isaak, land anarchists, you know,
do not believe in government" Isaak
smiled as he said this, and when asked if
he meant that anarchists believed il no
government at all he again answered in
emphatic tones 'None, whatever.
Government means servitude. and the
principles of anarchy are liberty and
equality for ALL" Isaak was exiled from
Russia 10 years ago and came to this
country, where in little time he master
ed the English language. Recently he
delivered lecture on anarchy before the
University of Chicago.
