JUDGE YOUNGBLOOD'S VIEWS.
Tells SOutherners at New Orleans
His Personal Ideas on the
Race Question.

New Orleans, Aug. 29.-Judge F. M.
Youngblood, of Carbonate, ILL.,, is in
New Orleans. In response to an in
quiry as to what he attributed the in
crease in the number of lynchings in
the north, particularly in Illinois,
Judge Youngblood said:
ITO the increase in crimes that
merit lynching among the negro popu-
lation l believe that the north is
more keenly beginning to appreciate
the situation of the south than former
ly. 1t appears to me that the situation
between the two races is daily becom-
ing more and more strained and would
seem to tend to future race war, the
deplorableness of which upon the coun-
try could not be estimated.
"In regard to equality granted the
negro in the north, will say that the
respectable republicans and the demo-
Gratis have nothing whatever to do
with him, more than the white people
have in the south.
THE Booker T. Washington incident
has caused profound disgust through
out the north and it is generally felt
that it has injured the negro more
than any recent incident"

But One More Rain Needed.

Early corn is almost made and but
one more rain is needed to mature
the late corn, according to the
United States weather bureau week
ly report. Cotton has been making
too much stalk growth, to the detri-
ment of its fruiting, and it is not ma
turing as it should; with a period of
warm, dry weather, as it has had dur
ing the past few days, the crop will
be up to expectations. Tobacco is
ripening and cutting is in favorable
progress; the crop, as a rule, is large
and fine and remarkably free from
worms. The second crop of Irish
potatoes is coming up well, as rule.
Sweet potatoes are doing well. Peas
are growing and developing into
bountiful crop. Large quantities of
hay have been saved in excellent con-
dition. Turnips are coming up well.
Seed clover is turning out well.
Flowing for the fall seedlings is well
advanced where the ground is not
too dry and hard. Apples are drop
ping from the trees.

Buried Alive.

Jim Cummings, a negro, was COW
cred to a depth of three feet in sand
for the space of three and one-half
hours and taken out alive and I'M
hurt, in Adamsville last week. He
was redigging a well for Joe Bras
field and when about 40 feet from
the top and some 10 or Is feet from
the bottom, while suspended on a
bucket, the sand gave way, filling
the well some Is feet. Rescuers
were delayed in preparing wooden
curbing to prevent further caving
and supposed that the negro had
gone to the bottom of the well and
hence was some Is feet under the
earth, and of course was either dead
or would be before all the sand could
be removed. After a few kegs of
dirt had been hoisted it was learned
that he was yet alive and he was res
cued in all haste,

SAYS EVERYONE DOES IT
Three Young St. Louis Physicians
Are Under Arrest.
They Are Charged With Appropri-
atfng Supplies From PoOrhouse
Dispensary for Private Use.

st. Louis, Aug. 29.-Three young
physicians are under arrest, charged
with stealing medical supplies from
the dispensary at the poorhouse. Alex
ander McCully and Emanuel T. Urban
were employed there as assistant ply
sicians. The third, G. F. Knapp, was in
practice, and had an Office on the third
floor of the Imperial building, down
town.
For some time Supt. H. E. Hart and
Health Commissioner Simon have sus-
pected that stealing was going on, but
until Thursday no positive evidence
could be obtained.
When DR.. Knapp was arrested in his
office there was found a satchel filled
with medicines, some bearing the Ia
bells of the poornouse. Seeing that he
was trapped, Knapp admitted his guilt
DR.. Urban also confessed that he had
been in the conspiracy, and both the
young men seemed surprised that their
actions were considered a crime. Ev-
erybody did the same, they said. Both
Urban and Knapp were formerly en-
ployed at the female hospital, and they
stated that they thought they were en-
titled to use the city's drugs in their
private practice. When Knapp left the
city's employ and Urban was trans
ferred to the poorhouse last April, the
latter continued to furnish his friend
with medicines, he said.
Their method was a simple one.
About once week DR.. Knapp would
take dinner with the two. He would
take a satchel and when he left IL
would be full.

Hamilton Smallpox Cases.

The joint city and county board of
health of Hamilton county held an
important session last week. Dur
ing the month of June there were
146 cases of smallpox, in July there
were eighty-six, and during August
there were all told twenty-nine cases.
There are On hand at present seven
teen cases. Of these twelve are in
the hospital and five in Chattanoo-
ga, but the latter are isolated and
the patients are receiving good care.
While some of them are quite sick,
the disease has not appeared in a vi
client form during the month. The
question of erecting a permanent
hospital building was brought up.
The concensus of opinion was that
the building should be gotten under
way as soon as possible.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Aug. 29.-Presi-

of Vice-Consul Magelssen shall suffer
for their crime. If the porte shows
any ugly disposition in the matter, Ad-
miral Cottons warship may be ordered
into action and drop a few shells
among the Beirut mosques. The fleet
is expected to steam into the harbor
of that city within a week.

THE bird In the tree top sends forth his
L note of sweet song and then swing
ing off upon the breeze he mounts up
upon the glittering shafts of the sunbeam
into the blue of heaven and is lost to sight
and sound, and it is not hard to imagine
that he has gained the ramparts of the
heavenly city and is mingling his rare
music with that of the angelic hosts.
The rich farmer drives by and, with
a commissioning glance at the poor
house, he talks with me about his fine
farm down yonder which he is going to
visit l met him that day. This is no
fine figure of imagination. This is real
life as the Lord opened it up to me that
day. The rich farmer with his heart
buried in the soil, and his glance reach
ing no higher than the tasselling corn
tops which drank in the Heaven-sent
sunshine and cool evening dew, who saw
the reddening and glowing sunset re-
f1ected in the rosy-cheeked apples hang
ing in heavy profusion from the bending
limbs, and never thought of Him who
had tinted the swelling sides of the
luscious fruit, but was carefully figuring
on the number of barrels he could send
I
The pauper in the poor house grounds
heard the song of the bird that day. Per-
haps his soul bounded upward with the
Eight of the bird in prophetic promise of
the resurrection morn.
The rich farmer with his bursting
sranaries, his spanking team and his
fine farm down yonder, was covering his
soul so deep with this worlds possessions
that it never could hear the glad music
of the resurrection morning, but would
sleep the heavy sleep of death until sum-
moned to appear before God and then
mass on into the outer darkness.
If had had the wealth of Vanderbilt
TO have bestowed upon those paupers and
7 had emptied that poor house that day
and given each a mansion and bank ac-
count. it would not have pleased my
Lord so much, 1 believe, as the ministry
which I rendered in His name and for
His sake. And is not this our greatest
obligation to the poor? Mere charity
which alleviates physical suffering does
not fulfill our highest obligation to them
If the Lord and His claim upon the poor
are left out! if the greatest need of the
poor-salvation in Christ and treasure in
Heavens not supplied, then have we
failed. We may have given to the poor,
but we have not given to the Lord. The
poor we have always with us, and wnen
we will we many do them good, but let
us not forget to break our alabaster boxes
of love and devotion and gratitude at
Jesus feet as we seek to give to the Lord
the precious souls Of the poor.

was an unfamiliar road over
l. which I travelled. l had never oeen
that way before, and 1 knew not what
would meet with along its pathway,
and rather strangely but providential-
ly, believe, the first opportunity came
to me at the county poor house. 1t was
not silver coin which l had to give to
the poor that day, but l did long TO
break the alabaster box of my love
and devotion at the feet of my Lord IN
order that He might take and use 1t
to the blessing of some poor soul. AS
l entered the poor house grounds
met the superintendent and secured his
permission to visit the inmates of the
place, both in the building and upon
the grounds, which were shady and
comfortable with their benches under
the trees. A group of six or eight aged
and decrepid men were gathered there.
l had my Testaments and Scripture
cards handy, and as l entered the
group l gave each card and spoke
CHEEKY how-de-do. Here were men
with place to stay and meager daily
food to nourish the body, but no place
to call home. Ali how l prayed that
the Lord would enable me to speak
some word of His eternal brightness
and truth which would shine as bea-
con light to the poor souls and light
their way to Heaven. l did try to tell
them of the Christ and the mansions
He had gone to prepare in the heavens
for them that love Him. Some seemed
fO md
and could not understand my speech.
They were all interested and 1 know
enjoyed my visit. One of the group,
seemingly more intelligent than the
rest, displayed much interest in the
things whereof l was speaking. l gave
him Testament and the last l saw OF
him he was seated, with the others
about him, reading the precious Word
of God. Perhaps that day new visions
were opened up to him which will
grow brighter as his failing days fade
into the grave. Perhaps some day the
pauper whom l met that day will greet
me on the other side and we will re-
joice together in the riches and COM
fort and joy of the Fathers house. God
looked down upon that ill-sOrted group
VI nuludH DeluSS. HIS gaze pSuSlIdISu
the homely, ill-fitting garments of the
paupers and my not elegant, but bet
ter dress, and saw beneath the needy
souls of each and all, for God is no
respecter of persons" But for the
grace and favor of God 1 might have
been numbered among those lonely
outcasts. Be that as it may, God in
His love was tenderly yearning to-
wards these souls as He was towards
me, and l needed the blood of Jesus
Christ to cleanse me from all sin even
as did they. 1t is good sometimes to
strip ones self of social distinction
and worldly position and favor and try
to view the naked soul as it is placed
along side of the soul of one whom the
world hardly deigns to look upon and
considers a burden because public
funds are needed to house, clothe and
feed the poor outcast.
