landlord tells me that this fellow used
not to have two cents to- rub together,
and was always cadging from some one
or other. Now he has taken to setting
up drinks for the crowd and changing
gold right and left

of comprehension. Here was situation
which came within his province. We
will just keep an eye on this gentleman

it would be easy enough for the young
lady to bribe fellow like that to do any
sort of crooked work. !"
why in thunder can't you leave the
young lady out of your calculations?
cried Bradshaw impatiently. If she is
guilty, you can always lay your hands
on her when the proper time comes, but
judging by the way you are going on
you will end by letting the real murderer
slip through your fingers. This poacher's
sudden wealth may not be in anyway
connected with the affair, yet l think
somehow, that if you keep an eye on him.
you are likely to learn good deal before
long"
Il suppose I shall have to telegraph to
the Yard for another man. said Brading
ruefully. Il hate to do it. You get
a case like this all cut and dried, with
only one little thing lacking to make the
chain of evidence complete; and then
a new man comes along hits upon the
clue by accident, and takes all the credit
while you have done all the work. y
Still, you have the local policeman
to help, haven't your"
Don't talk to me about the local
policeman" exclaimed Brading in tones
of intense disgust "Fox-that is his
name-it ought to have been Goose.
The night Angler was attacked found
some splendid footprints on the soft
ground outside the study window, and
l set Fox to keep guard over them until
l could take proper cast. 1t appears
that Fox had heard of taking cast too
read it in Sherlock Holmes or some
where-and when 1 got back found he
had saved me the trouble. He sent for
some plaster of Paris, he did, and poured
it, thin as pea-soup, all over the ground.
OF course, when you are dealing with soft
dry ground you want to oil it over very
carefully before doing anything else
and the result was that the impressions
Fox got might have been made by any
thing from Man Friday to an elephant.
No, sir, the less we have to do with P. c.
Fox the better"
See here" said Bradshaw, Il have
nothing particular to occupy me just
at present, and fancy l would like to
take a hand in the game myself Sup

"Oh, come off the fence, and don't

fully "You British policemen are not
taught anything, excepting how to regu-
late traffic. You do that we'll enough,
I'll admit, but when it comes to delicate
case YOU are not in the same catalogue
as the French detectives, or, as far as that
goes, the American. Good Heavens!
a New-York headquarters man would
have discovered the murderer a week
ago; and unless he coughed up hand
somely, would have delivered him to the
memorable clutches of the law, there to be
held until the jury disagreed on the
twenty-first appeal and most all the par
ties to the case were dead"
THAT is all very pretty, Mr.. Brad
shaw" said the detective rather sulkily;
but if you come down to real results,
think you will find that English detec
tives score more successes in the long
run than all your Frenchmen or Ameri-
cans put together. If we find a woman
with her head cut off, we don't look up
the antecedents of the two-year old
baby, simply because he is the most
unlikely person to have committed the
crime As rule, the most likely person
is the person, and anyway l am not such
a perfect idiot as to allow myself to be
thrown off the scent by the simpering

"Say," exclaimed the American in
accents of deepest disgust, you give me
a pain in the neckl | have met poison
ously bad women with pretty faces but
they have not taken in men, or indeed
anybody else, worth a cent. You want
to read up Lombroso, my friend-you
should study criminology in its physio-
logical and physiognomical aspects. Show
me that Miss Hollis head is too fiat and
her eyes too close together, that her ears
are pointed, that the angle of her jaw is
too wide or too narrow-show me even
that her mouth is too large or too small
confound you!-and 1 will say: Let us by
all means watch Miss Edith Holt

monty fine girl" growled Brading And
/ don't mind the further admission to
YOU, sir, that | am not quite SO sure as
1 was about her guilt As l told you, 1
am quite satisfied about the matter of
that three hundred pounds. And l am
pretty well satisfied, too, that she had
nothing to do with that attack on Angler.
At the same time, there is something
very queer about it all, and more than
once have been near arresting her upon
my own responsibility
And pretty pickle you would be in
when she was proved innocent"
Il know that" answered Brading
simply. That is what held me back.
1t would have been grand feather in my
cap to convict a woman with forty thou
sand year; but if l had failed there
would have been an end to the career
of yours truly. Still, you see l must
make some move. 1t does not rebound
to my credit that the murder of a man
like Lord Arncliffe should remain a
mystery, and if | don't clear it up the

American irrelevantly.

In the public press we noticed
you dined Booker I. Washington

Booker Washington's ability, but
deny his right to social equality

Gov. Vardaman Sees Trouble as Out.
come Of Incident.

jackson, Miss, Aug. 49,
When asked his opinion of the
Booker Washington Wanamaker
social equality incident, Governor
Vardaman said:
''My views about this matter,
| think, are pretty well known.
| will say, however, that ! think
the whole affair is discreditable to
the nigger. The saddle-colored
citizen from Tuskegee is the one
party to this affair who has suffer
ed socially. 1t also reveals Book
er's real purposes, and gives the
lie to his former utterances. 1t
does another good thing, it places
in their true light and locates in
the line of march a certain brand
of theological politicians and
Ogendite niger coddling white
men of the South, who must now
take Booker to their swelling bos-
oms as he really is, and all he rep
resents, or repudiate him alto
gether. This affair is the ripening
fruit, the belated but natural out
growth, of the fifteenth amend
ment, and the logical sequence of
this rank rot about the higher
education, social elevation and
political equality of the nigger as
a race. 1t is the forerunner OF
serious trouble. This apparently
unimportant affair will inspire
hopes and aspirations in the
breasts of the niger which will
cause him to do things for which
the white man will hang him. II
is horrible to contemplate, but il
must come. 1t is but Incidental
to this particular stage of the cru.
Ell process through which we must
pass for the solution of the race
problem. It can not be evaded,
but in the end will be settled and
settled according to the white
mans idea Of right. In the mean,
time, it would be well for Ala
bama il her people could induce
Booker to 60 North, where things
would personally be more con
genial to his fastidlous taste. "

THE YELLOW
FEVER SITUATION.
NEW ORLEANS STILL MAKING A HARD
FIGHT TO STAMP OUT PLAGUE.
A Few Cases Reported at Mississippi
City.

The official reports on the fever
situation in New Orleans are not
alarming. The fever is almost ex-
clusiyely confined to the down
town district below Canal. 1t is
difficult to keep the ignorant Ital-
ians in line with the sanitary reg
ulations without the use Of force
and this cannot be used. If it
we're possible, the conditions
would be greatly simplifed and
the disease would be soon under
control by the physicians of the
Crescent City.
The following report is for
Thursday, the latest at our hour
for going to press:
Deaths, 4; cases, "A; foci, IA.
Thus making the totals to date:
Deaths, 180; under treatment,
424; discharged as cured, GIG;
total cases, 1920; total foci, 262.
The ocfiial report from Mis-
sissippi City, Harrison county,
announces nine cases for that city !;
four new ones for the day. AS
a result of the fever at Mississip-
pi City, jackson has established
an absolute quarantine against the
entire Gulf coast. Fhe Gulf &
Ship Island road is tied up be-
tween jackson and Gulfport, and
all stations along the way are
closing their doors.
All precaution is being taken
at the only place in our State
where the yellow fever is in evil
dence. Mississippi City is sparse
Iy settled and at wide range and
no difficulty is apprehended in
preventing a aspread of the disease.
Besides, almost the entire popula-
tion is immune, having had the
fever In 1897 or previous to that
date.
Mississippi may congratulate
herself that she has escaped the
dread infection thus far, so hight
ly. Sporadic cases occurred at
Sumrall and at Lumberton and
the disease was stamped out.
This result is liable to be re-
peated at Mississippi City.

THE WANAMAkER- WASHINGTON DINING,

The Wanamaker- Washington in
cident at Saratoga last Sunday,
lpromises to arouse the resentment
of the white people of the South
quite as much or even more, than
tdid the Roosevelt Washington
luncheon of three years ago.
In this instance the position of
Booker Washington appears in a
far more inexcusable light. Con-
ducting negro industrial school
in Southern State and knowing
full we'll the sentiments and un-
compromising position of the
Southern people on the subject of
negro social equality, yet here we
find him going to popular
Northern pleasure resort and serV-
ing as escort to a white woman of
social distinction in that section.
This is a long step too far.
1t not only stamps with
falsehood Washington's past
utterances and pretensions on
this question but partakes
of the nature of challenge to
Southern sentiment, as much as
to say, "Well, what are you going
to co alb out it!"
The Leader has always believed
in and advocated conservative,
kindly and humane policy toward
the negro race, within certain we'll
defined lines. When it comes to
social and political equality, these
lines must be drawn and recog-
nized, particularly as far as the
South is concerned. 1t is best for
the whites and best for the negro,
in the long run, that this be done.
Booker Washington, as a recog
nized and aspiring leader of his
race, by his example has taken a
long step beyond safe bounds and
crossed the limit. The people of
Alabama, where he is conducting
his school, owe it to themselves
and to the South to see to it that
he leaves that State and finds per-
manent refuge among the Wana-
makers and others of that ilk in
the North. As to how this
is to be effected, it is sufficient to
say, that the Southern white peo-
pie have never yet been lacking
in effective expedients when
confronted by actual or impending
dangers in the race question and
they never will.

The jackson News recently sent
to Chicago for a copy of the Ben
iamin Sanborn arithmetic recently
adopted in Mississippi. The
"nigger'' example appears alright
in the original version, and the
News is consequently sustained in
it's assertion that the paragraph
was expunged only after it had
been condemned BY the people of
Mississippi. This book should
never have been adopted, and the
Enterprise believes that the peo-
pie should refuse to use it

The other question to which the
News raised objection are to be
eliminated. The "nigger" arith-
metic is not meeting with very
