been given speedy trials and
would have been hanged in good
time had the mob not interfered
by taking the matter into their
own hands and burning them at
the stake. Such outrages are
not backed up by the sentiment
of the mass of the people of the
South, and it is rank injustice to
the good people of the South to
allow such offences to go I'M
punished. Vigorous and prompt
action upon the part of those
who hold the reins of govern

outrages than all the leading

al of the regular army, whose
civil war service was brilliant,
was seated on the lawn in front
of his Rhode Island avenue home
in Washington the other evening
in conversation with a crony,
when an Italian with a street
piano stopped in front of the
house. 1t was well-tuned for a
street piano of the better sort,
and the old General enjoyed the
music so much that when, at the
wind-up of the second tune, the
Italian entered the yard, smlrk-
ing and holding out his hat, the
veteran officer tossed him quar-
ter.
The Italian went back to the
tune machine and began to grind
out Dixie"
Before half Of the first measure
of "Dixie" had been played the
retired general rose from his
bench, and without a word to his
crony, walked into the house,
through the hall and to the back
yard.
He did not return to the bench
seat beside his friend until the
street piano man had gone away
down the avenue out of hearing.
He didn't mdke any explana-
tion when he resumed his lawn
seat, either. But his crony was
curious.
"Old man." he said to the re.
tired General, 81 never knew
before that you were narrow and
predjudiced. There's none q
