BANG OF DYNAMITE
Panic Created by Thieves
al Race Track. Three
Hurt.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

Chicago, Aug. 25.--By the explosion
of some dynamite caps and iii the
panic that followed it, three persons
were injured this afternoon at the
Hawthorn race tracks. 1t is supposed
that the caps were thrown on the
floor of the betting ring with the ldea
of creating a panic during which the
cash boxes of the bookmakers might
be robbed. An attempt was made to
rob one bookmaker but it failed.
The injured are: Frank Williams,
left foot lacerated; Mitchell Bruno,
right foot lacerated; A. M. McGill re-
ceiVed a severe scalp wound and was
badly bruised in the panic in the ring.
None of the injured is seriously
hurt.
The first explosion was caused by
Williams, who while walking through
the eastside of the ring stepped on q
cap. 1t exploded, tearing off his shoe
and lacerat ng his foot severely He
fell to the floor with a cry and instant
ly there was q shout that an insane
man was discharging his revolver at
random. Immediately there was a
wild panic and while the bookmakers,
Selling their cash boxes, bent low in
their booths the crowds rushed across
to the southsde of the ring in the eff
fort to escape. Just as the thick of
the throng reached this side of the
ring somebody trod on another cap
and the crowd tore back to the place
where it had started on the first gun.
McGill was knocked down during the
rush and was trampled upon.
A third explosion took place some
minutes after the panic had been al
layed 1t occurred just beneath q
chair on which Bruno was sitting,
threw him to the floor, and a portion
fo the cap striking his foot tore it
badly.
While the excitement was at its
highest Il man made an effort to grab
the cash box of a bookmaker doing
| business under the name of The Chi
cago Club. He was Knocked down by
a clerk and ran away before he could
be arrested

THE COLORED FAIR.

A. r. Middleton, president OF the
Colored Fair Association, was III ia
leigh Yesterday and last night attend
ed an enthusiastic meeting of the eN-
ecutiVe committee at the Office OF
Capt Jim Hamlin, the secretary or the
fair, at which the work of preparation
for the annual fail event was thor
oughly canvassed. The preparations
which are being made are on more
extensive scale than ever before, ana
it is confidently hoped by the manage
ment to make the next fair both the
largest and most successful i'll the
history of the organizat on
The colored fair. started number
of years ago, has lived through many
vicissitudes until it has come to be OF
real use and benefit in the scheme OF
advancement of the negro race in the
State; and conducted as it has. been OF
late. on reasonable and thoughtful
lines. it has won the communication
of the white people, as well as the
pride of the progressive negroes.
The fair of this season will lay
stress upon the two causes, of educa-
ton and agriculture, the emphasis of
which will do most towards the real
uplift of the race.
Secretary HamIin said last night
that he had no doubt that the eX-
hibits at the next fair would be finer
and the crowd larger than for many
years. ut is hoped" said he, that
the occasion will prove one of real
value to the negroes and to the State.
At the educational conference which
will be held it is expected TO secure the
attendance of the leading negro edu-
Gators and others and to bring under
review the educational work of the
race. At the agricultural conference,
which will be addressed by able and
practical farm experts, it is hoped to
secure the attendance of number OF
negro farmers who can best spread
the lessons learned among the rural
element of the race. The hope of
the negro is in education, combined
with industry, and it is gratifying to
see that the masses of cOlored people
are coming to realize the fact. Had
thew done this years ago, instead of
blindly following the lead Of unscrup-
ulous political demagogues, many of
the ills of which they now complain
would have been happily averted."
Secretary Hamlin stated that he
would soon call upon the business men
| Of Raleigh to solicit a contribution of
their liberal advertising patronage to
| the Premium List in which way they
had in the past contributed much to
| the success of former fairs.

DELICATE CHARITY.
Youn@ster From Methodist OrphanaSe
Made Happy by Invitation to
Spend Vacation Away
From CITY.

That was a pretty sight and one
that was beautifully illustrative of
practical charity and love. the de-
parture of one of the bright little
boys of the Methodist Orphanage
yesterday on a holiday trip 30 the
home of a good woman who had asked
him to come and spend some OF the
summer weeks as her guest.
The boy Il manly little fellow. was
put on the train by superintendent
j. w. Jenkins. HIS eyes shone with
the excitement o. the trip, with the
JOY of novel experience; his clear,
childish laugh rang like a bell in the
ears of the tired, hot and enuied
groWn-uDS.
You who get on n train on n hot
day to suffer in stolid endurance the
annoyances of travel, take the time if
you viii to watch how some child is
taking the same trip. You will see a
being TRANSPORTED to the seventh
heaven of delight: his round eyes fol-
low the conductor admiringly the in
take of his breath when the colored
porter calls the station is estate. he
follows the fruits and candies on the
butchers" basket With avid gaze--to
him the passing country with its fields
and woods and houses. the horses in
the fields, the pools OF water by the
roadside, all the things that tone in
follows habit. are so much material
for imagination. for romance. You
can catch the light of the stories he
is making through the window in the
sparkle of his eve; you can read the
dragon tales he tells himself with
each shrek of the locomotive as the
train thunders through cut; you can
watch him grow and expand with the
variety Of sight and sound!
This even in the case of the chill
dren of the well-to-do. who journey
each summer, to whom travel is n
usual thing eval before they are out
Of kinckers. Yet the fascination
holds well through childhood into ear
~ youth. And to a boy without home
or parents, with no opportunity to
travel-thnIl of the bliss!
If what Mrs. Hubert Barrow did
for tho little Methodist orphan had
been merely the trip on tho train
md back ii would have been 10 him
an event; as it is, including a stay at
her home in Concord, whore he can
play out Of doors and feed like the
healthy young animal that he is and
meet new companions and new scenes
and come into touch with new in
terests and diversions, it means q big
step in true development. wider in
terest a decoer sympathy and under
standing Of life and people.
Most folks go down now and again
in their pockets for the orphans but
needed as this kind of help is. it is
necessarily institutionallY bestowed.
There IS = need Of a more widespread
personal interest and Mrs. Barrow has
struck the solution of how to give
this gracefully and in the best way

Children's Many Misfortunes.


In the ages of children up to twelve
years, their misfortunes, from baby'S
prickly heat to the boys open sore
are many. Few parents realize the
therapeutic value of sulphur for skin
diseases and impure blood.
HancocIts Liquid Sulphur, Nature
Greatest Germicide, is indispensable
in a home where are children-it may
be taken internally or applied dlrec

used your Liquid Sulphur on our one
year-old baby, who suffered intensely
from prickly heat over her entire
body. half dozen applications III
two days entirely relieved her and SHE
slept soundly. You should recon-
mend Liquid Sulphur strongly tc

\ RAT VISITOR.
The Story of How il Escaped Being
Made Into Snake Food.

There's strange rat 'avisitin' round
in the Union Depot section of Raleigh,
and though it's nativity is not known,
it furnished a bit of a stir at the
depot yesterday.
And the visiting rat has doubtless
told "hot stuff story of it's adven-
lures to all the Raleigh rats it has
called ON. and as these stood up and
played with their whiskers, they must
have exclaimed at times: Horrible,
and yet you live to tell the tale" and
then passed the heese to the Visi-
tor.
A rattlesnake. red zach whip snake
and the rat referred to. all in one
compartment, a king snake in the
other. such was a box i'm the express
car of the Seaboard Air Line north
bound train yesterday, as centre of
interest to those who looked.
With these was a negro in charge
who Informed the curious that he was
a British officer, and was taking the
snakes to St. Louis. The rat had been
put in for the snakes to feed upon, but
had successfully kept from being
snake food when the outfit reached
here.
The old negro, while the train was
waiting here endeaVored to have the
snakes feed on the rat and opened
the top of the box The RATHER rat
tied, and with two desperate leaps the
rat got out jumped to the platform
and then under the train, on and off
the rail at times.
The train started the wheels went
round, but they missed the rat. As
the train passed from under the de-
pot the rat scampered off into the field
at the side, disappearing from sight
in the grass and weeds.
And later he visited. Hence in the
chronicles of rat history in Raleigh
there will go down the wonderful story
