Thus Far Has Been Light.

Hhus Far Has Been Light.
San Francisco, Dec. 19.--Not until
few hours before their fight to-mor-
row night will Jimmy Britt and Bat
Ting Nelson leave their camps. Their
work. however, practically ceased yes
terday, and the young boxers to-day
did little more than move about in a
recreative way.
Nelson is slightly under weight and
Britt a fraction over the mark, SO the
forfeit money is safe on both sides. To-
day each of the pugilists expressed
confidence in the outcome.
Betting on the match has thus far
been light. with Britt the favorite and
Nelson supporters asking for great
odds. To-day 10 TO were the figures
given around sporting headouarfers
and tonight the Nelson men were
asking 10 TO z. The heavy betting As
not looked for until tomorrow.

ven of the most modest variety, Mrs

Seaboldt says.
The women of the upper classes are
often very we'll educated" she says.
and there are some good convent
schools, but their education is acquired
merely as an accomplishment, and
they never make any practical use of
it. Their only business is to look pref
ty before marriage, and take care of
their children afterward., Their lives
are certainly very dull. Much as 1
enjoyed Mexico, 1 do not envy the lot
of the Mexican women. Yet American
women, even if they are known to
have been in business, are treated
beautifully there. The lower class
women have more liberty and wider
interests than those of the upper
classes, and it is they who do the
beautiful drawn work for which Mex
leo is famous"

INCENDlARY ATTEMPT IN FLORENCE.
Negro Entered Tobacco Warehouse
in Florence But Made His Es-
cape From Officer

Florence, Aug. Florence would
have suffered another serious incen-
diary tobacco fire last night had not
the plans of negro been frustrated 5y
Deputy Sheriff E. G. Harrell, an at
tempt having been made to burn the
Dixie warehouse. Officer Harrell hav-
ing gotten wind that such an tempt
was going to be made had concealed
himself in the. building, to foil the
would.be incendiary in the act. The
negro entered and was about to apply
the torch when the officer halted him
and fred. The negro calling Mr..
Harrell by name said he
would surrender but the two
men being in close prox-
nifty then, the negro grabbed hold of
the officers gun and escaped in the
darkness. Another shot was fired but
with no effect.
The officer knows the negro as far
as his identity is concerned and thinks
he will pick him up sooner or later.
His arrest may be the solution of the
city's numerous incendiary tobacco
fires, although Policeman S. J. East
is now in jail, on the charge of having
set FIRE to the Pee Dee warehouse last
April.

STRIKERS DEpREss BUSINESS.

New Yor'y, Aug 5..-R G. Dun &
Co.'S. Weekly Review Of Trade tomor-
row will say: Labor troubles are the
most serious drawback to recovery
in business, most other important
factors tending toward Improvement.
Despite some reduction in the yield
of wheat, crop prospects are most
encouraging, and the loss in quantity
of wheat promises to befuIly Offset by
higher price. SO that the agrlcultur-
al communities will be in position
to pu1chnse commodities. Delayed
orders for iron and steel products are
being placed and at woolen mills there
is q notable increase in activity.
Railway earnings in, July were only
q per cent. smaller than year pre-
yious, and at many cities there is evi-
deuce Of returning confidence with a
little improvement in mercantile coll
lections. But several strikes in pro-
gress and others under consideration
initiate against resumption Of nor
NAL conditions in trade and manufac-
tnre. In the primary market for cot
ton goods the situation lis without
change. Exports to China have been
Che best features.
Failures this week in the United
States are $50 against 17S the cores

On the negro question and for that
matter on good many other cues
tions, The Providence (R. L. Journal,
independent Republican, carries one OF
the most level newspaper heads III the
North. Discussing the negro plank IN
the national Republican platform it
says: "The time has gone by when
the Federal power can arti6cially ele-
vate the negro above the level pre-
scribed for him by the people of the
several States. !" Then it sets forth
that the Republican party needs the
negro vote more this year than for
sometime past, and adds cit is only
necessary to keep this fact in mind to
recognize the buncombe that underlies
the negro plank" That's the whole
of it. The plank is simple buncombe
Ia bait to catch gudgeons'' as The
Journal remarks in another place and

COTTON BLIGHT IN LANCASTER.
The Farmers of Lancaster County
Much Puzzled, as we'll as Wor-
ried, by the Unfamiliar
Pest.

Lancaster, Aug. 4.-Ten days ago
the cotton crop in this county was the
finest, for the time of year, ever seen
in this country, but now it is being
rapidly injured by a blight of some
kind, the nature of which is puzzliDg
to the farmers, for they never saw
anything exactly like it before. 1t
more closly resembles what is known
as the black rust than anything else
with which the farmers are familiar,
but it has some characteristics never
before observed in rust. Small black
spots first appear on the leaves Of the
plant, rapidly growing larger until
the leaves wither, dry up and fall off.
In some localities the plant is report
ed to be well-nigh stripped of leaves
and the shapes now dropping off. The
blight seems to be much worse in
sandy land than in clay. Ten intelli-
gent, conservative farmers, living in
the sand hills, informed your CORES
poudent yesterday that the cotton. in
their section is damaged from one
third to a half.
Mr.. ". J. Cunningham, one of the
best farmers of the county, has ex-
amined his cotton with microscope
and he reports that he found insects
on the plants resembling lice, but he
is unable to say whther they are re-
sponsible for the damage being done
to the cotton.

TO Lynch the Brute.

Hartford, Conn, Aug. 5.-Henry
Osborne, q former police commissioner
and one Of tie leading business men
of this city. was murdered by his for
mer colored body servant, Joseph
Watson, today. The negro was found
tonight hiding under a bed in the
basement of the Osborne home. Out

were gathered and as Watson, heavily
manacled, was escorted down the steps
to the police patrol wagon the air re-
sounded with cries of "kill him, lynch
him. -
AS tie wagon started the crowd,
which was rapidly increasing in size,
swarmed after it, making Ia demon
stration, the like of which has hardly
been duplicated under like circum-
stances In New ENGLAND. At the sta
tion the police had difficulty in pre-
venting the crowd from forcing its
way into the guard room.
Watson is is years old and is very
unprepossessing in appearance, but did
not quail wien face to face with the
crowd which seemed so anxious to
avenge the murder. He said he killed
Mr.. Obsorue. 81 had it in for him,
and I killed. him,'' he said. /" | am
not afraid to die: and | am satisfied
now that I killed him.
Mr.. Osborne was deliberately killed
by Watson out of revenge for being
discharged AS valet on July. Is. Watson
says that he, 90 into the house last
night after Mr.. Osborne retired and
went to be6 in the basement.
This morning Watson went up stairs
when he heard; Mr.. Osborne stirring
about and meeting him at the bath
room door, fred one shot, Mr.. Os-
borne ran into his bedroom and the
negro followed and fred two more
shots. both bullets taking effect.

JUDGE PARKER
RESIGNS JuDGESHIp.
The Democratic Candidate is True
to His High Conception of the
Judicial Proprieties.

Albany. N. Y, Aug. 5.-Alton B..
Parker ceased to be chief Justice of
the court of appeals of this State at
3.2O p. N. today and became the un-
trammeled candidate of the Democra-
tic party for the presidency of the
United States, lacking only the formal
notification of his nomination OF his
nomination which will take place at
Rosemount mex; Wednesday after
noon.
Without any advanced announce
ment or intimation of his purpose, he
came to Albany, took part with Eve of
the ether judges in clearing up prac-
tically all of the cases which had
been argued before the court and
then sent messenger to file his for
nal resignation in the Office Of the
secretary Of state, as the constitution
and public officers law required.
He left Esopus at 1925 a. m., ac-
companied by the newspaper men who
have been on duty at Rosemount ever
since his nomin alton. Until after the
train had left Kingston he would not
divulge his destination. Few of the
people in the day coach in which he
rode appeared to recognize him,
though there were one OF two Ulster
county acquairtances with whom he
chatted until that rain reached King
ston. He arrived IL Albany just after
1 O'Clock and after luncheon went to
the capitol and at once joined in con-
sultation with his colleagues over the
cases pending before the court. The
consultation lasted little over one
hour and at 3. 05 the judges fled into
the court rooua and handed down to
the clerk 6e decisions which practical
ly cleared up the business before the
court. The only cases remaining are
