It and everything else connected with
1t is a mystery. It war Q zinc cylinder
with a Illuminating cap sunk In one
end and sealed with pitch or asphalt
cement, and is about four inches long
and an inch in diameter. Mr.. DeMier
took it out aways and built a fire
around 1t, but It failed to explode and
had either become damaged by the
weather or else was a well manufac-
tured hoax. He did not Investigate
II further to see II II would explode.
Later: The bomb found by J. r. De

was filled with giant powder and
primed with an ordinary pistol car
fridge in which the bullet had been
drawn. It was a dangerous missive.

WONDERFUL ENGINE.
Invention Of a Chihuahua Man Prom.
ises i, RevoIntsonize Things.

An invention Of unusual interest
especially to mining men is the Multi
phase rotary steam engine just COM
pleted BY the inventor, ]. NJ. Evans.
at the foundry of the Compania In.
dustrial Mexicana, says a Chihuahua
dispatch.
This engine is OF 500 horse power
and is the largest MI. Evans has just
put up, but it thoroughly demonstrates
all the superior points that are claim.
ed and in a few days, when run long
enough to be smoothed down, the
tests will all be made. and then the
company will 60 into the manufacture
of the engines In Mexico.
This engine only weighs about 4 IL
tons, while a 500 horse power com
pound Corliss alongside of 1t weighs
ITO tons, or twenty-five times al much
as the Evans engine. The former oc.
cupies 1000 square feet Of floor space
to the latter's about twenty. This en-,
CINE a be built much lighter II ne,
cessary, and Mr.. Evans has the mining
men particularly interested, as he
says he can put up a twenty-five horse
power engine 81 that It weighs less
than 800 pounds and can be packed
on a mule in one piece.
The engine is attracting much In
terest and Is evidently beyond the ex
perimental stage, as Mr.. Evans has
built nine different ones. from five to
10 horse power. A $4,000 O com
pany is organized in the United States
to manufacture them, a 100000
company is organized In England fol
the same purpose. and the machine IL
patented in thirteen different coun
tries.

Vardaman's
Startling Speech
REASONS WHY MlsslsslPPrs
GOVERNOR WOULD KILL FlF-
TENTH AMENDMENT.

In his inaugural address. delivered
Tuesday before a joint session Of the
Mississippi legislature, Governor
James X. Vardaman declared that the
growing tendency OF the negro to
commit assault on white women is
nothing more or less than the mani
festation of a desire for social equal
#ity. in forcible terms he declared that
education is the curse of the negro
race, and urged an amendment to the
state constitution that will place the
distribution Of the common school
fund solely within the power Of the
legislature. Continuing his discussion
Of the negro question, Governor Yard
aman said:
AS a race he is de%teriorating NOR
ally every day. Time has demon
strated that he is more criminal as a
free man than as a slave; that he is
increasing in c~riminality with fright
full rapidity, being one-third more
criminal in 1890 than he was in 1880.
The startling facts revealed by the
census show that those who can read
and write are more criminal than the
i~lliterates, which Is true of no other
element of our population. | am adj
vised that the minimum illiteracy
among the negroes Is found IN New
England, where 1t is 21.7 per cent.
The maximum is found In the black
belt-Louisiana, Mississippi and South
Carolina, where 1t is est per cent.
And yet the negro In. New England
is four and one-half times more Grim
inal, hundred for hundred, than he is
in the black belt. In the south-Mis'
sissippi particularly know he is
growing worse every year. You can
scarcely pick up a newspaper whose
pages are not blackened with the &C
count OF uncomfortable crime com.
mitted by a negro brute, and this
crime, | want to impress upon you,
is but the manifestation Of the ne
gro's aspiration for social equality, en-,
couraged largely by the character Of
free education in vogue, which the
state is levying tribute upon the white
people to maintain.
The better class of negroes Is not
responsible for this terrible condition
nor for the criminal tendency Of
their race; nor do I wish to be under
stood as censuring them for 1t. ! am
not censuring anybody, nor am In
spired by Ill will for the negro, but
Ii am simply calling attention to 9
most unfortunate and uncomfortable
condition Of affairs.
What shall be done about 1t? My
own idea is that the character OF the
education for the negro ought to be
changed. If, after years Of earnest ef'
fort and the expenditure Of abulous
sums OF money to educate his heai,we
have only succeeded in making a Grim
inal out of him and imperiling his use
fulness and effectiveness as a laborer,
wisdom would suggest that we make
another experiment, and see II we
cannot improve him by educating his
hand and his heart. There must be a
moral substratum on which TO build
or you cannot make a desirable citi
zen.
The governor also declares that the
people Of the nation should rise w
and demand The repeal of the fifteenth
amendment.

PROHIBITS SONG IN CHURCH.
Minister at Racine, Wis.,, Causes =
Sensatien b. InterruDting Sing
ing 81 ave Maria"

Rev. George Murray Colville caused
a sensation In the First Presbyterian
church at Racine, Wis, on a recent Sun
day evening by 1nterrupting the sing
ing Of ave Maria by Miss Susie Rob-
erts, the soprano soloist of the church.
Lifting his hands, Mr.. Colville said:
Il beg your pardon, bat cannot allow
that song to be sung in this church. -
Miss Roberts had sung about one-third
of the song when she was stopped by
the minister, and she 1T once picked up
her wraps and left the church.
The other members Of the choir and
congregation were surprised at the &C.
ton, which they could not at first un-
derstand. 1t was learned that some
weeks ago Miss Roberts sang the same
song and was Informed by the minister
that although he thought the music
beautiful he did not believe that the
words were appropriate to be sung in a
Protestant church.

COPPER WITH A HISTORY.
Cent That Was Used to Determine the
Name of the Metropolis
of Oregon.

+. W. Pettygroye, son of F. w Petty
grove, one of the founders of Portland
and the man who named the city, has in
ais possession the copper cent with which
us father won the right to select the
rime. He is a commercial traveller for a
San Francisco house and naturally sets
great store by this cent, which he has
shown to many here on his visits to this
city, says the Portland Oregonian. Some
OF his friends have besought him to turn
this cent over to the Oregon Historical
been able to make UP his mind 10 do
this. George H. Hines, secretary of the
society, has been advised to wrestle with
Esr. Pettygrove, and it is not unlikely
that he may succeed in securing this
historical coin. Mr. Pettygrove has also
il his possession the Bible used on the
occasion CT the first sermon ever
preached in Portland, which with the
cant was presented to him by his father
as a keepsake.
1t was in the summer of 1845 that A.
L. Lovejoy and F. w. Pettygrove, who
owned the claim on which Portland was
located, employed Thomas A. Brown to
survey their property and lay it off into
streets, blocks and lots, and when he had
completed the plat the proprietors under
took to choose name for the newly born
city. Mr.. Lovejoy desired that it be called
Boston in honor of the capital of his ma
tive state. Mr.. Pettygrove contended
that Portland was more appropriate, as
it was at the head of navigation and the
port where would land all the freight
Intended for the valley Of the Willamette
and all the southern produce of the ter
ritory. In order to decide the question
it was proposed by Mr.. Pettygrove to toss
a copper cent, which he had brought with
him as a souvenir of his eastern home.
This was agreed to by Mr.. Lovejoy. The
cent was tossed and, Mr.. Pettygrove
proving the winner, Portland was
adopted as the name Of the embryo city.

Young Plants

Every farmer knows that
some plants grow better than
others. Soil may be the same
and seed may seem the same
but some plants are weak and
others strong.
And that's the way with
children. They are like young
plants. Same food, same home,
same care but some grow big
and strong while others stay
small and weak.
SCOTS Emulsion offers an
easy way out of the difficulty.
Child weakness often means
starvation, not because of lack
of food, but because the food
does not feed.
SCOTS Emulsion really feeds
md gives the child growing
strength.
Whatever the cause of weak
ness and failure to grow
SCOTS Emulsion seems 20 find

to climb
Take it easy; rock along an take your
time:
Try to keep the welkin ringin'
With your shoutin' an your singin',
AN you'll clean fergit to worry any more
