through III. E. Highton and j. j. Dunno,
against James Love- Jr., Annie K. Hart
and the Waterhouse Trust Co. for the
revocation of trust deed executed to
the last named defendant After re-
signed during recent years, the COM
plainant says that the trust deed given
to the Warehouse Trust Co. was ex-
ecuted without any consideration what
James Love, Jr. and Annie K. Hart,
and without any intention that the
trust should be irrevocable. On the
contrary, the complainant says that the
standing that it could be rescinded at
any time, and that he was never in
formed that the trust deed was irrevo-
cable. The complainant further says
that the Waterhouse Trust Co. collect
ed rents from his property. and that
the company also received the. sum of
$4250 due upon the mortgage of Y. Amin,
which said company refuses to pay to
plaintiff, except the income therefronl.
1t is further alleged that James Love.
Jr. and Annie Hart claim that the trust
given August 20, 1901, is irrevocable and

that they have refused to recognize
leases made by him and also interfere
with the erection of permanent i'm

also threaten litigation thus depreciat-
ing the value of his property.

deeds and for an accounting with the
Henry Waterhouse Trust Co.

Athletics in America.
rom the Chicago Journal

From the Chicago Journal.
 The United States for many years has had the champion prize fighter of the world, while her athletes in other sports head the lists in almost every event in the last few years This country carried off the championship for single-scull rowing at the Diamond Souls in Eng land, and has beaten England, Ireland and Scotland at their own special and particular games. As for rifle and pistol shooting, America holds the worlds hon ors. On the turf our horses have won the Derby and the Grand Prix, while nobody has yet been able to life the cup for yachting held for nearly half cen tury.
 This is the present record of a nation which at the time that Charles Dickens made his visit was looked upor as a overworked whisky drinkers and tobacco users. The athletic spirit in the land to- day Is everywhere noticeable. The idle wealthy are becoming race of athletes. Those who are busy manage to spare an hour or two each day for recreation and physical exercise, and as a result our health, strength and vitality compare fa- vorably with those of any civilized peo- pie.
 Those wholesome changes In habit seem to have been spontaneous. Ameri- cans are naturally "outdoor" people, and when the strenuous chase after the al- mighty dollar has slackened a little the old desire for the mountains, fields, for ests and ocean returns.

Wants Parker for Partner.

A "nervy'' member of the big law firm headed by former governor, Frank Black (Black, Olcott, Gruber & Benynge) ap- preached Judge Parker the other day with an offer of partnership in the concern in the event of sn Esopian defeat in Novem- ber The mission failed in it's direct pur- pose, but 1t was revealed at the inter- view that the judge had already made tentative partnership arrangements. He did not state the name of the firm with which he would be allied In the event of election disappointment, but it is well known in the financial district that he will join forces with ". F. Sheehan who has guaranteed him $500O0 a year for four years. MT. Sheehan has a very large corporation practice and is tied up close ly with Thomas r. Ryan, Anthony Brady c. K. G. Killings, P. A. B. Wdener and other gas and traction magnates. Mr. Sheehan has become very wealthy during the past few years by reason of his con- nection with these magnates and he is their chief legal adviser. The late Mir. Whitney had a great liking for MT. Shee- han and had a private entrance to his law offices. MT. Sheehan's offer to Judge Parker Is just double the guarantee offer ed Grover Cleveland on his retirement from the Presidency the first time.

Crop scares Discredited.

Government reports have given the flat footed lie to the market jobbing crop estimates of hired experts employed to kill lon papcr) wheat and corn. They met their Waterloo when they announced without reservation that the yield of corn would be under 1000 O00 00O bushels. Official estimates raise the figure to al- most 2,500,00o,000 bushels The gang of grain bulls on the Chicago board of trade and dcwn in Wall street who were employing these willing experts were caught in their own net. After making some money in wheat they started to run up the price of corn and in doing so took on 2O000,000 to 30,O000O0 bushels. They are still struggling under a part of the load and their losses down to date are said to approximate about $1 ,500. 00O Jim" Hill indignantly denies that he had or has dollars interest in corn. The chances are that he Is telling the truth this time and that lis interests lie on the short side of the stock market.
 J. J. Hill still insists that he is right and the government wrong in estimates of the corn crop. Almost no corn grows in the Jim Hill railroad territory, but he continues to show the liveliest kind of interest in the farm products of the coun- try through which the roads of his rival run, and the street is fortified thereby in it's belief that the old fellow is in the Hartman net and that he has not been able to cover his short line of Union Pacific and other granger shares. His lugubrious comments on the unfortunate condition of the west tend to tint the Wall street atmosphere a deep blue, but for some reason nobody pays much atten- tion to them. Wall streeters are convinced that his outc-ies are mere expressions of pain for hurts received. and while his lamentations afford amusement they do not have market influence the way he would like.

Smooth Men Active.

A little clique of smooth gentlemen have been taking good deal of money out of the market in the manipulation of the inactive stocls-the cats and dogs of the market. They have conducted their op- erations with unfailing success and there is seemingly no end to the play. They are content with moderate profits and jump from one stock to another with such clevarness that neither the bucket shops nor the professionals on the ex- change can keep up with them. Their campaign since the beginning of summer has cost the bucket shops $250,0O0 and the profits taken down through the reg ular commission houses are said to be as much more.

The proposition that the immigration laws be so amended as to permit the entrance of Chinese labor to provide substitute for the negro in the cotton fields of the south Is being favorably received by many of those who are inter ested in the solution of the socalled race problem of that section. That the time is coming when a substitute for the negro must be found cannot be questioned and just at present the Chinaman seems most fitted to fill the requirements. It Will pc denied by many persons that the negro is leaving the south, but the fact that he is needs no confirmation. The negro Is seeking what he considers a more con genial atmosphere, the number that add themselves to the population of the larger cities of the east each year Is steadily increasing and 1t is also true that such of the race as are not coming to the great centres of population in the east are gathering in the cities of the south. The problem of finding labor to gather each succeeding cotton crop becomes more serious and in some sections or the south much cotton has been permitted 10 go to waste in the fields simply because l there was no labor obtainable. The younger generation considers this class | of work as a remnant of the old slave system and equipping themselves with | a smattering of an education they are | seeking positions as teachers and other | work that carries with 1t medium 1 amount of physical labor. It is not to be | denied that the occupation of cotton cul-
 tivation as practised in the south is a | hard class of labor and 1t Is much pleas l apter to weld the birch in a schoolroom | or air ones views from the pulpit for no occupation so strongly appeals to a negro
 as the ministry, but the demand for
 school teachers and ministers has US | limits.
 Booker T. Washington planned wisely in making the teaching of mechanical trades leading feature of his school at | Tuskegee, but Booker Washington can not make his graduates stick to those trades after the student leaves the walls | of his institution and much of the theory | of agriculture that is taught there Is wasted because no negro who can get anything else to do is going to spend his life on farm, but at the very first open ing will hasten to the city and regardless of everything but his own pleasure cast aside all the benefits of the education that the liberality of the white philan- thropists of the nation have provided for him. The prosperous negro farmer Is a rarity and the children of the prosperous
 negro farmer do not as a rule follow In
 the footsteps of the father, but seek fame and fortune in some other diree-
 ton and not infrequently end In the chaingang or penitenitary.
 The building trades and the mechani-
 cal trades are open to the negroes in
 the south and the majority of this class
 of labor in the south is performed by ne-
 groes, but the spread of labor unionism
 in that section while not so apparent as
 in the north, has been sufficient to in-

Western Road Reports.

Western railroads almost unanimously report large tonnage and a prospect of a splendid winters business. The heavy crops west and south have given mer- chants everywhere renewed confidence and they are increasing their orders up- on wholesalers, jobbers and manufac- turers in anticipation of improved local business.
 The annual reports of railroads are coming in rapidly Some of them are dis appointing and others everything that could be desired. Erie has proved some what disappointing in that it shows loss of over $3,000,0 in net although 1t has been widely heralded that the year has been one of great prosperity and that great headway has been made in the re- mobilization of the property. A few more years of such boundless progress might easily land the company once more in the hands of a receiver.

Banks Complain.

Banks and trust companies complain that they lave made no money during the past year and half. The institu- tions themselves may have gone through a lean period, but the men who run them have done fairly well. Banks have had more money through the entire calendar year than they could conveniently use in legitimate way and the outlook is for continued ease in that respect. Four of the leading banks are so easy that they have 1T. combination about $25, ,000, 900 on deposit in London. A good many oth- CT banks have taken advantage of the foreign situation to float their exchange bills in order to provide a surplus at home with which to meet draft for crop moving purposes. These hills are sold against future cotton, grain and provis- ion exports. the result being that the bankers not only insure themselves, but are also ahead to the amount of inter- est they obtain on the cash and credits, Our banks could very easily raise S1O0.- 0c0000 additional by the sale of sterling bills, but such a policy is not deemed advisable. The credit Is there, however and can be made available should our money market harden appreciably.

DARING HUNTER.
Rescues Servant by Cutting Tendons
 of Lions Leg.

From the Chicago Tribune.
 An Englishman had one day set out into the wilds on a shooting expedition He was alone, but for his Zulu servant, Job who followed behind and carried a cowhide shield and d couple of assegais in his right hand.
 As they walked along the Zulu espied a huge lion lying on the top of stony ridge, Both men stopped. In a low voice the Englishman explained to Job what he intended to do. He had heard that if a lion Is approached boldly he will turn tail and bolt.
 This was what he intended to test Having given Job certain directions, the Englishman began to climb up the ridge.
 Step by step he ascended The lion slowly raised itself on all fours, and lashed its tail from right to left. So far there was nothing to fear. But suddenly the long tufted tail ceased it's sidelong swing. At first slowly, then quicker, it dashed up and down. The long yellow main grew more erect, and with an om- nious growl, the lion crouched ready to spring at him.
 brought his rifle to his shoulder, and sent a bullet tearing through the yellow body. An angry roar of pain followed. A long body, with tail outstretched and paws extended, rushed through the air. A dull thud and the Englishman was rolling down the slope.
 Bruised, but otherwise unhurt he sat up. Not twenty yards away he saw the Zulu bounding toward the lion, armed only with two assegais, and guardinl: his body with the cowhide shield.
 "Back-go back!' his master called.
 But the Zulu shouting loudly, made straight for the enraged animal
 Quick as a flash Job thrust one of his assegais into the lions side. Snarling fur lously, the brute sprang at him and bore him to the ground.
 But now the Englishman had advanced to the rescue. His rifle lay useless, with a large dent In the barrel. But, drawing his hunting knife, he rushed at the lion, and, with a rapid stroke severed the ten- dons of one of its hind legs.
 Again the wounded animal turned on him. and, seizing him in his paws, hurled him right over it's head. Then, with an- other savage growl, 1t crawled toward the helpless Zulu

CHINESE FOR THE SOUTH.
BY PHlNEAs FLETCHER.

terfere materially with the further ad- vancement of the negro carpenter. brick mason, machinist and engineer, for In these trades the white unionist gives the negro laborer little show. In the north it is rare to find a negro carpenter, brick mason or machinst and in some labor unions they are barred out entirely.
 Another feature of the problem that some persons will be inclined to dispute, but 1t can be proved beyond question, is the fact that the negro Is not increasing in proportion to the white race and the confirmation can be had by the compari- son of the health statistics of any city or section in which the negro race Is largely represented which will invariably show that the death rate among the ne- groes Is at least twice as great as among the whites, but the race Is increasing, even with its heavy death rate, at rate that Is amply sufficient to satisfy tho most enthusiastic admirer of the race, and at a rate sufficient to keep It's advo- cates and apologists busy Tor several years to come.
 II has been asserted in vigorous tones by yellow journals that the idea Of any amendment to the immigration laws by which the Chinese will be allowed to come in will be fought to the bitter end cy the labor unions It is not easy to say Just where the labor unions come in Tn the settlement of the question of the pest labor in the south; they have ignored the negro as an element in the labor agitation that they have conducted, and there Is no instance on record that any labor leader or organization has ever spent dollar or lifted It's hand to better the condition or the farm hand of the south. They have closed every possible door to his advance ment in the east north and west ana It Is not the business of the labor union to interfere where none of their rlgnts or assumed privileges are at stake.
 The time when their influence properly applied would have benefited the negro in the south has passed and 1T these or ganizations have any time to spare rom the adjustment of their own troubles 1t | might be well spent fin ameliorating the | physical and moral condition Of the rapid I 1y increasing negro population or the sec I tions to which the negroes are going.

For few brief months he was quite conspicuous, not because he wanted to be so, but be- cause gossip connected him with a variety of deals and intrigues. none of which did he have anything to do with.

 With a cry of triumph the Zulu sprang to his feet, and buried his assegai deep in the animals heart.
