universal Peace"

The cars attempt at the establish.
ment of universal peace is not tho
first of the kind that has been made
by European monarch. The French
King Henry w. of Navarro proposed
something similar in the sixteenth
century. His idea was to form the
European nations into confederation
of states, and each state to be even
ly balanced in military and naval
power. rhe confederation was to be
a supreme court Of arbitration to de-
eide all disputes that might arise
There was one flaw in this peace pro-
posal-the Turk was to be excluded.
and the states were to wage war Of
determination against him. The
project was discussed and dropped.

Both Sexes of African Natives Fond
of the Process.

Tattooing is almost universally prac-
ticed by both sexes of the natives of
Africa. 1t is, however, very roughly
done and is altogether inferior to the
tattooing of the Maoris of New Zea-
land and other Pacific races. The
method of operation is simply to
make slit in the skin and then rub
In charcoal. Among the less pleasing
feminine ornaments must be reckoned
the nose buttons OF the Wa-Yao and
the frightful pelele or lip ring of the
Anyanja. The nose button is cir

let into one side of the nostril. Ugly

OUTRAGED AND ROBBED
MRS. CHARLES RIDDLE VICTIM OF
 NEGROES.
Woman Living Near Burlington, N. J., Assaulted Fly Brutal Blacks--Hun- dreds Searching for Her As- sailanta.

Burlington, N J., July 5.-With her l-year-old baby by her side and her husband away delivering milk, Mrs Elsie T. Riddle. wife of Charles Bid de. farmer living near here, was the victim. she says, of criminal assault and robbery by three negroes. To- right hundreds of men, armed with all sorts of weapons, are securing the country for the robbers.
 Mrs. Riddle says she recognized one of the men as Aaron Timbers, who was recently released from the Jamesbury reform school Pursuers caught uE with the negroes and two of them are said to have been wounded.
 Two negro suspects were brought to the Burlington jail late today and a large crowd threatened to lynch them but they were saved. Both men de- clare they are innocent.
 Mrs. Riddle was washing the break fast dishes when she heard a knock at the door Responding to the call she was confronted. she says, by three masked negroes. One held a revolver to her head and demanded money. She protested but one of the negroes was left on guard and the other two forced Mrs. Riddle to go up stairs. Covered by a revolver she produced SIS.
 Timbers had worked on the Riddle farm ana Knew the Idmliy HdDlts. The negroes found a watch which they returned on the plea that it was given to her by her mother.
 The negro who was on watch was called up stairs and Mrs Biddle's hands were tied behind her and two hand kerchiefs stuffed into her mouth. With a revolver pointed at her head. Mrs. Riddle was assaulted, she says. by each of the negroes. Then they left the place.
 Mrs. Riddle managed to leave the house and crossing the fields met a neighbor. She told her story and within half an hour posse was in pursuit.
 Charles x. Davis. a farmer. while hurrying to the Riddle home. says he came across the negroes and opened fire One negro was wounded. Davis says. but he got away with the oth- CTS William Braddock. another farmer. also says he saw the men and fired at the trio who sent several shots. Braddock says that he hit one of the robbers.

St. Louis. July 5.-(Special )--The early manifest prediction of Southern Democrats generally for the nomina- tion of Judge Alton Brooks Parker. of New York, as the candidate of party for President. Is having its legitimate effect and more. The recent deter imitation of the Southern Democracy in the concrete to adopt and stand firm for conservatism on all questions of National interest has made a pow erful impression upon the Democracy of the North. and they have joined with the Southerners In Il grand eff fort to put the party in shape to com mend itself to the whole country as safe. sound and progressive.
 The logic of that sort of thing as far as finding a candidate to suit, pointed to Judge Parker. There has been for months little doubt among the leaders of the party who have in vestigated as to the New York jurist Democrat that he would be nominated. From the day that delegates began to gather. his nomination looked all ways the strongest probability and 1t has so grown in likelihood that to- night the talk everywhere is Parker on the first ballot"
 There have been numerous elements of oppos tion. the most of which were not serious. The methods of the op- position that tried hardest to stop the Parker tide agitatej 1t to run only the swifter. There has never, at any time. been in the anti-conVentiOn sit uation a particle of stamina or reason for continued existence in any part of the opposition to the choice of New York and manlfestly of all Southern States. Efforts to make impression upon delegates thought to be in- clIned for Judge Parker made no Inn pression at any time.
