Lynchlng at Norway S. c.

Columbia, Special.-There vas a
lynching in Norway Tuesday night,
and Charlie Evans, a negro, who was
charged with attempting to assassinate
Mr.. Phillips and daughter OF Sunday
night, was hanged and his body rid
died with bullets. He and three other
negroes had been arrested and placed
In the town guard house and a guard
stationed around it. The men were
overpowered by a mob, said to have
been composed of unknown parties"
and the three were taken into the
woods near the town. Pink Hartwell.
y. S. Johnston and John Fielder, who
had been arrested with Evans, were
released, it being shown that they had
nothing to do with the crime. Evans
was strung up and afterwards shot.
Mr.. Phillips was shot while sitting
down to supper, but he was not dead.
Shots from the gun entered his Shout
der and his lung. and >ne penetrated
his brain. and 1t is said that there Is
absolutely no hope for him. His daugh-
ter also received a wound in the head,
but it was not fatal. Evans was a
most desperate negro and the people
were more Infatuated than they would
otherwise have been on account Of his
previous desperate criminal acts.

THE B'NAI B'RITa PETITION
Official Statement Given Out From
Washington.

washington.
Washington. Special.-The State De-
patment has authorized the following
statement:
AT the State Department it was
stated by a high official in the absence
o. Secretary Hay that the delay in for
warding the petition of the American
citizens Of the Jewish faith as to the
ill-treament of their co-religionists in
Russia was due solely to the delay in
furnishing the address to the State De-
partment by the petitioners. The State
Department would, Of course, pay no
heed to any statement purporttng to
emanate from the Russian government
unless such statements were made Of
ficially, in some form or other, to our
own government. The State Depart
ment has been scrupulously careful to
act only in accordance with all the re-
Quirements of Official propriety, but
within the limits thus laid down it will
most certainly not hesitate to give ey-
preston to the deep sympathy felt not
only by the administration. but by ali
the American people, for the ulfortu-
nate Jews who have been the victims
in the recent appalling massacres and
o%utrages. In this connection, 1t was
pointed out by another official who
6!sclaimed any purpose to speak in his
official capacity, however, that it Seem
ed somewhat strange, to say the least,
that the Russian government should
choose this particular method Of max
ing a statement to the American people
at the very time when by methods
which are certainly the reverse Of
friendly to the United States, it has
sought to make China join in breaking
the plighted faith Of all the powers as
to the open door in Manchuria, and has
endeavored to bar our people from &C
cess to the Manchurian trade"
The above statement was shown to
Count Cassini, the Russian ambas5a-
dor, but he declined to make any CON-
ment on 1t.
Any reply to this statement must be
made under direct instructions from ST.
Petersburg. 1t is realized, both at the
State Department and the Russian en-
bassy, that the situation is extremely
delicate.

William F. Mcclure had been placed
under arrest and sent to Fort Sheri-
dan. His investigation Of the case
thus far tends to confirm the charges
of bigamy made against Mcclure, but
he also says there are indications that
Mcclure Is not sane. The dispatch has

ton.

substitutes for it have to be artifciany provided. This necessity has brought

The Wearing Of Mourning.

aAX ORELL said a sensible thing lot long ago, when he X
r. II planned Ito the public that the oSenauous mourner is not neces-
81 sarly the n who feels the most deeply. This la been safd
NJ j before. but it is worth saying several times
n u 1t is salutary to remember that there is 10 real merit IN q
long face. There is nothing more heathensh than the way IN
LEX which mourning is conducted in certain cities of American So
ciety. Whether genuine sorrow is felt Or not, quantities OF Grape
y@H must be worm; the house must pc darkened, and grief the more
emotional the better, must be displayed, regardless Of III pres
enceo of children or working people who need all the peasantness they can
ret in their lives And it is a lamenabe fact that in some cases this sort Oh
thing is more a matter of parade than anything else.
80 It seems hearuess to say it, and IL could not venture to comment On any
particular cae in this way, but there are people who go through all the out
Ewrd ceremonies Of grief, not 81 much because they really feel that they have
met with a terrible bereavement as because they like the Importance OF the
occasion. and feel that people will think that they are % showing proper SEN
sHiyeness unlesstm they behave in the traditional manner.
One finds these people saying, when others depart from the outline OF
mourning:
swell! I don't see how she bears up under it. She seem so cheerful she
can't have cared much for her husband. But then, some have so little
feeling"
1t may be that the apparently cheerful person is forcing herself to endure
without outward sign q crushing weight Of sorrow, in order hat the lives u
Others may no" be darkened by her continual tears and lamentations.
The woman who does this for the sake of her children is rendering them
n service for which they will live to thank her. There is no danger that they
win think she does not care. Children have their own ways of finding out
these thngs-New York News
