MAINE SCHOONER ABANDONED.
The Albert T. Stearns, Rockland,
Ashore Near Chatham, Mass.

Chatham, Mass, April q. - The
ROckland, Me-, schooner Albert T.
-Stearns, which grounded on the Shovel
full shoal at an early hour, this morn
ing, while on her way to the Delaware
Breakwater with load of ice from
Bath, was abandoned by her crew, this
afternoon, and will prove a total loss.
The schooner went ashore at high
water, but the life savers from the
Monomoy Point station and a crew of
Wreckers from town, who boarded her
during the forenoon, reported that there
was chance of saving her. This af-
ternoon, however, the wind freshened
from the eastward, causing her to roll
SO badly that her seams opened. 1t
was then decided to abandon her and
the crew, together with the wife of the
mate and her child, were all brought
ashore by the life savers.
The Albert T. Stearns was built in
Newburyport in 1885, She was 4S2 tons
net burden, 1852 feet long, 35 feet wide
and II feet deep. She formerly hailed
from New Bedford, but recently was
purchased by Rockland, Me-, parties
1t is understood that she was fully
insured.
The wreck occurred very near that
Fart of the shoal on which the barge
Wadena grounded in March, 1902, and
it was while taking some of the wreck
ers off this barge that the crew of the
Monomoy station lost their lives.

NEGRO LYNCHED.
Angry Illinois Farmers Hang
Rayisher of Girl.
Then They Riddle His Body With
Fusilade Of Bullets.
Also Attack Colony of Colored Work
men in Same Vicinity.

Thebes, ILL.,, April 26.-An unknown
negro, aged about II years, was lynched
by mob of angry farmers, near the
village of Santa Fee, this afternoon, for
attempting to assault the 10-year-old
daughter of Farmer Branson Davis and
this was followed by a general on
slaught upon a colony of negroes living
in tents, who were engaged in bridge
construction work. The tents We're
burned and many negroes were shot,
but so far as known none was killed.
Hundreds Of shots were exchanged, but
no whites were hurt.
Branson Davis lives one-half mile east
of Santa Fe, a small village near here.
While his 10-year-old daughter was in the
barnyard, today. the negro accosted her.
She ran. but he seized her and her screams
brought her mother to the rescue. The ne
gro fled. Officers were notified and were
soon in pursuit. News of the assault
speedily spread among the neighboring
farmers and resulted in an angry mob
starting in search of the assailant. The
negro. meanwhile, had been arrested by
officers and was being brought to Santa
Fe, when the mob was met.
A fight followed, during which the farm
ers secured the negro. He confessed to
the crime but begged for mercy. Without
a word, the mob started with the prisoner
toward the new bridge being constructed
across the Mississippi, where he was
hanged to an oak tree without ceremony
or delay. After the body had been dang
ling in the air for a few moments it was
riddled with bullets. officers endeavored
to dispense the mob, but their efforts were
useless.
A rush was made for a colony of sew
eral hundred negroes employed on bridge
construction work and living in tents near
the bridge The negroes saw the mob
coming and opened fire. A fusilade fol-
lowed and the whites fired with effect, as
many of the negroes were shot down.
None of the mob were injured and it is
not known how seriously the negroes
were wounded.
The mob pushed forward. notwithstand-
ing the steady fire. until the negroes fled
toward a woods, taking their wounded
with them. The mob then fell upon tie
tents and burned them. After accomplish
ing general work of destruction the mob
dispersed.
Extra police were sworn in, and, tonight,
the village is under heavy guard. The ex-
element is intense.

FOR REVENGE.
HartweII Stafford Of BrookIine,
Shoots S. NJ. Bishop.
Trouble Arose in the Usual Way, a
Woman in the Case.
John Marotto and Mrs. Viola Both Held
for Murder.

Boston, April 27.-Three deafening re-
volver shots rang out unexpectedly in
the Office of the Edison Illuminating
Co., on Head place, today. and through
the smoke the startled clerks saw one
of their number, Stillman NJ. Bishop,
fall to the floor. The shots had been
fired by man who was a stranger. In
an instant some one had taken in the
situation and the next moment the UNI
known man was seized by number of
clerks and disarmed. A police call was
given and the visitor was arrested. He
proved to be Hartwell Stafford of
Brookline, and later it appeared that
he had shot Bishop to avenge an al
legged wrong which he felt Bishop had
done to the family of Stafford'S intend
ed bride. Bishop, who was wounded in
the arm and side, was taken to a hos
pital, where it was announced he had
good chances of recovery.
For time the cause of the shooting
could not be learned. Later, however,
the police learned some of the facts and
it appeared that Stafford wished to
teach Bishop not to persist in annoying
the young woman to whom Stafford is
weeks ago Bishop was the accepted
sutton of Miss Eta Mclean of Rox-
bury, in whose family he boarded. At
the tine mentioned, an engagement of
marriage which is said to have been
entered into by the man and the wo-
man was broken. Soon it began to ap-
pear that Hartwell Stafford, proprie-
tor of a mail agency business, was
favored by Miss Mclean and later an
engagement was announced. Bishop,
who had moved from the Mclean
house, persisted in his attentions to
Miss Mclean after she selected STAFF
ford as her fiance. Finding, however,
that matters were going against him,
Bishop is said to have adopted another
plan.
Bishop, it is said. had purchased as
an investment some time ago a mort
gage on the residence of the Mclean
family. For some reason the owners
OF the property were unable to meet the
payments, and Bishop threatened to
start foreclosure proceedings.
Stafford, incensed at this treatment,
decided to forcibly interfere. He went
to the Edison office at about $50 to-
day. Bishop, who occupied a desk on
the second floor, was busy when STAFF
ford called. He at once rose to receive
him and placed a chair that he might
be seated alongside of his desk
Without waiting to take chair and
without uttering single word. STAFF
ford pulled a 3S-calibre revolver from
his pocket and fired three shots in rapid
succession. Two of the shots hit Bish-
OPP. The other went wide. In an in
slant the office was in a turmoil. Then
the police came.
Bishop is Is years old. He has been
employed by the Edison Co. for 10 years
and is highly spoken of by his employ
ers. Stafford is 81 years old. He is a
Southerner, but has been living in Bos-
ton for some time pursuing varied &C.

after l commenced I began to have
headaches and a dull, heavy, stupid
feeling. These symptoms grew worse
until I was ill but I had no suspicion
that coffee was the cause of the
trouble.
Il could not get up any strength, and
after dragging around half sick for
some time 1 was sent off on a visit to
see if the change would do me good. 1
soon began to feel better and at the end
OF three weeks felt perfectly well
again.
Before leaving I had a long talk
with my friend as to the cause of my
getting better. 1 had taken no medicine
of any kind. and the food was about the
same as at home, the coffee was par
ticularly rich, strong and palatable.

insipid drink and was only used by
people who could not drink the old

My friend said she had been using
it for two years because when she
drank the old-fashioned coffee 1t kept
her sick half the time. Then it dawned
on me like flash of light that the old
fashioned coffee was the cause Of my
trouble and sickness and that leaving
1T off and using Postum for three
weeks had made me we'll.
When went home I told mother of
the change. She saw how round and

well she was astonished and from
that time to this we have left the old
