To launder Iaeas.

In laundering battenburg and renais-
sance laces 1t is better not to iron
them. Instead, pin a white flannel
cloth to the ironing board. and over
this put clean white piece of cheese
cloth. Pin the lace down carefully at
all the scallops and points, and stand
the board near a radiator or register
where the heat will dry 1t quickly. The
results arc far more satisfactory than
using an iron. and the lace will last
twice as long.

DEATH OF NEGRO
APPEASED MOB
SCOTT DIED OF WOUNDS
INFLICTED nv POSSE THAT CAP
TURED HIM AT REBECCA.

Mob Had Gathered at Fitzgerald, De-
termined to Lynch the Negro.
to Prevent VioIence-Mob Womb
Not at First Believe the Statement
That RiSbOp's Slayer Had Died OF
His wounds.
Fitzgerald. Ga, Aug. PA. L. Scott,
the negro slayer of J. A. Bishop, died
in the city Jail here at o'clock this
afternoon.
His death probably averted serious
rfobvtrouble as excitement was at fe-
yer heat from the time last nights
special train arrived from Rebecca
with the prisoner, who was captured
by citizens of that place.
Yesterday evening, when the first re-
port of Scott's capture reached here,
Chief of Police Herman Smith, accom-
panied by six armed citizens. left at
once for Rebecca, which is a small
village. fearing a general uprising
among the negroes. Smith and his par
ty were followed by a special train
carrying a heavily armed force from
here and gathering up number en-
route.
The special train returned at 2:3O
o'clock this morning, carrying the ne
gro, who had resisted arrest until IA
tally wounded. He was taken to the
city Jail and early this morning the
mob gathered and there was imminent
danger of lynching The prisoner was
removed to the second story of the City
Hall, substantial brick structure, and
placed under a heavy guard.
Company NJ, Fourth Regiment, Geor-
gia State Troops. under command of
Lieut.. Charles A. Day, was called to
arms, and held in readiness for imme-
diate action.
The mob refused to disperse for more
than an hour after the death of the
negro. declaring the report to be
ruse to deceive the. excited populace
Till. he could be removed to Abbeville.
He died thirty minutes before the ar
rival of the sheriff of Wilcox county.
and the remains still lie at the City
Hall. The coroner of Wilcox county
was sent for, but has not come. and it
is hardly likely an inquest will be
held.

ST. Petersburg, Aug. 20, $3.50 p. m.-
The operations around Lao Yang have
undergone a complete change.
owing to the delay in the concen-
tration of Gen. Kuropatkin's army, as
result of the terrible conditions of
the roads the Japanese seized the OPP
portunity to attack the slow-moving
corps and severe fighting occurred Aug.
27-2S in which the Russians lost an
other thousand men, and they now
probably will have to accept a gem
eral engagement. Gen. Kuropatkin
himself describes the latest phase Of
the hostilities in long dispatch to the
Emperor from a point on the railroad
a few miles south Of Lao Yang, where
practically the whole army was as
sembled and awaiting battle. The tele-
gram, which was filed early this morn
ing, says:
"The japanese began at dawn, Aug.
27, two movements designed 10 cut off
the First and Fourth corps. The First.
stationed at Anchanshan. half way be-
tween Haicheng and Lao Yang. expe-
rienced the most serious difficulty, ow-
ing to bad roads. The japanese under
Gen. Oku tried to flank this corps from
the east.

CAM MPAIGN A HARD ONE.
BabcocIk Thinks the Race viii BE
Close for Congress.

BabcOck Thinks the Race Will BE
Close for Congress.
Washington Aug, a 29.-Chairman
Babcock of the Republican, Congress
sional Committee to-day expressed
his opinion that the present is the
closest congressional campaign he has
experienced since 1898.
What are the conditions which
make the congressional campaign
closer this year than il, has been since
1882" Mr.. Babcock was asked.
'They differ in Localities" he re-
sponded. In some the conditions re-
suit from the charactet of the nation
al campaign. In Others the conditions
are almost entirely focal. Then, in
some case, the difficulty. is over the
kind of men nominated for Congress.
In Nebraska, where there are six MEM
bers of the House to fight fort DEM
ocrats have abandoned the national
campaign. They have fused with the
Populists on the legislative and Con-
gressiona1 tickets, but not on presi-
Dental electors. We redeemed four of
those districts two years ago, but they
have been going one way or the other
by very narrow margins-not by 200 or
300 or 400. but in same instances by
II or Is or 20 votes. Now, the Congress
sional Committee has to so in there
without the usual support from the
National Committee"
There is not much interest in cam
paign literature continued Mr.. Bah
cock. I'VE are sending out speeches
on the tariff and some matters relat-
ing to the Panama canal; also a few
Democratic speeches, like that OF
Bourke Cochran, on the tariff. But
we have not had real campaign of
education since 1896. / have never sent
out as many documents in any one
year as then.
I'VE expect to have a good deal of
speaking. There are about dozen of
the leading Republican members of the
House Oh whom we are relying. Chief
among them, of course, is Speaker Can
non, who Is a splendid vote getter on
the stump. He is going to start out
soon by special train and will be ac-
companied on a part of his trip by
Representative Watson of Indiana, and
on the rest of his trip by Representa-
tive Adam Bede of Minnesota"

ton. one Japanese battalion lost all
OF its officers.
The retirement Of the Russian trans
port Of four corps yesterday evening
across the plain while the artillery and
troops in the rear held off the Japa-
nese afforded a magnificent spectacle.
All along the extended lines there was
an incessant roar Of batteries, the
Russians working their guns with great
coolness and not retiring until the

Gen. Rontkowsky was among the
Killed.

I came to tell Judge Parker that the
South stands ready to send a host of
orators North to help in the campaign
against Roosevelt. Every speaker in
the South is prepared to assist in this
work in the North. The South is solid
not so much against Republicanism as
against the personality of President
Roosevelt. The race question as faith
cred by Roosevelt will be the chief is
sue against him.
Il am highly pleased with Judge
Parker and with his views. 1 learned
much during my conference with
at Norwich, n. Y, and shall go from
there to Bridgeport. Conn.,"
The announcement by David B. Hill
of his contemplated retirement Jan. l,
occasioned much interest in Esopus to-
day, but Judge Parker refused to COM
ment upon it.
The Judge deferred his daily horse
back ride until nearly o'clock, when,
after finishing a long and almost un-
broken days work in his library, he
went for a brief gallop.

guns levelled at him. told him that
there were 200 men waiting outside
for the negro and that he would better
not attempt to make any trouble for
them.
In the meantime another masked
man had entered while the first two
men held the sheriff. The two men
took the keys to the Jail from the
sheriff's pocket and then the three
started for the negro's cell. On the
way they met DR.. Miller, who had
been summoned to dress two wounds
on Martin. sef-inhicted with the same
razor with which he had assaulted the
