LETTER TO DR.. VIM. II. KINGSLEY

Dear Sir: We know what the paints are
all made-of. you know; we have to. In
Wilson, n c. are two dealers. One of
'em thinks he can't sell paint for more
than 81 gallon; the other won't have
such stuff in his store-sells Devoe lead
and zinc, of course.
The 81 paint is adulterated rs per cent;
Devoe is all lead and zinc and linseed oil
with as little good dryer as possible. A
gallon Devoe has in it little more paint
than four gallons of the other. A gallon
Devoe will cover as much as four of the
other. Who wants to pay wages for
painting four gallons for one?
How much is Devoe lead and-zinc
in that town?
Yours truly

ON God.

Our heavenly Father keeps us con-
stantly in the condition of uttermost
dependence on Him. Were it other
wise with us how wanton would we
become. Therefore, He writes the
sentence OF death upon ourselves, and
also upon u choicest temporal mer-
cies-not that He always means to
remove them, but to hold them as a
special gift from Him; and, despair
ing of all succor but His own, that we
should place our trust not or self,
not on valued fellow-creatures, but
on God, who can raise UP 20 help us
even the very dead q Cor. 1870.
He is considering our weakness, ard
our need, and our work; and in per-
feet wisdom and love has already ar
ranged for the very best.

Atlanta, Ga.-Just as the State and
city authorities were congratulating
themselves that they had secured con-
troll Of the race rioters, who had ter
rorized this city and caused half a
dozen or more deaths within a day or
TWO, the inobs a riot again.
The trouble began in Pittsburg,
the negro settlement in the southern
part of the city. The blacks tnem-
selves opened hostilities this time,
showing that they have begun to re-
taliate On the whites. While a squad
Of county policemen were riding past

aiately dispatched to the scene.
The negroes retreated to the woods
with the militia following. In the
encounter which ensued twelve ne
groes were killed. it is reported, and
four captured.

before being entirely disabled. He

as a shield, fired from behind it at tie
blacks, killing three of them.

NURSE CONFESSES MURDER
indian Girl Accuses Herself Over
Child's Corpse.
Hurried TO Jail at White Plains, N.
", to Save Her From a Pos
sible Lynching.

Brewster, N. Y.-While the funeral
of little Wilbur Winship was being
held in the Wiuship home at Cowles
Corners Jennie Burch, the dead
child's fourteen : year : old nurse,
threw herself across the open casket
and cried out:
ooh, my God! I cannot keep it.
killed him. 1 poisoned Willie"
The girl then fell to the floor in a
sWoon. as the mother of the little VIC
tim rushed forward, s~hrieking execra-
tons at the unconscious figure.
During the excitement Coroner
Mitchell took the girl away, and once
outside the house a detective hurried
her to a place of safety, as there were
cries of Lynch her! Kill her!" from
some of the younger men among the
mourners. She was later placed in
a carriage and hurried to the White
Plains jail, the Coroner being afraid
to put her in the Putnam County in
stitution.
Herbert Winship, father of the
murdered boy, is a well-to-do cattle
raiser. Three years ago he employed
the Burch girl, who is the great
grandchild of a full-blooded Mohawk
Indian.
Winship's big barn was burned,
and other mysterious fires followed.
An hour after a detective had left
the house, the Winship boy was t.ken
seriously i'll. He died as physicians
were wort .ng over him, the doctors
giving it as their opinion that he had
been killed by either arsenic or
strychnine.
The girl had, in the meantime,
fallen in a faint. When she revived
she declared she and the child had
been made i'll by eating a peach.
She was not suspected of the pois-
oning, which was believed to have
been accidental.

Justice Garrison has granted COM
mltment papers transferring James
Lynch, aged 107 years, and the oldest
man in the State, from st. Francis
Home, Beverly, to the county asylum
for the insane at New Lisbon. Until
a few months ago Lynch possessed a
sound mind. Recently he has at
tempted to commit suicide by jump
ing into the river, by cutting his
throat and by hanging, but was each
time saved from death by the watch
full Sisters. Lynch was born near
Dublin, Ireland, in 1899, and came to
America when he was eighty-two, at
the e%ntreaties of friends. He settled
on a farm near Woodbury.. He is UNI
married, and, while a total abstainer
from drink, is an ardent lover of the
pipe. When 100 years old he drove

ciers, Who Helped Ruin Bank.

New York City.-Following an af-
fectionate meeting between Paul o.
S~tensland, Chicago's self-confessed
bank wrecker and captured fugitive,
and his son Theodore, there was a
long and earnest discussion during
which the father, who returned here
On the steamship Prinz Adalbert from
Tangier, Morocco. finally convinced
his favorite son that it would be un-
wise to fight eXtradition, and he went
voluntarily to Chicago, where he will
shoulder part of the responsibility
for the 100000 bank loot.
Stensland was taken direct to Po-
lice Headquarters, where he spent
the night in a cell. He admits thefts
~aggregating 100000, and by turn
ing States evidence against others,
whom he says are implicated, he will,
1t is expected, startle Chicago with a
sensation equal to that first felt by
the $4,000 depositors when the bank
president fed.
His confession many prom
inent C~hicagoans, and much of the
responsibility for the immense de-
felt is placed upon Cashier Herring,
who is nov under arrest. and who
has been attempting to dicker vita
the States Attorney by aiding the
prosecution of Stensland.

Found Dead After Fight.

The body of Samuel Conover, an

had lived at Bordentown many years,
was found near his home, on Mill
street, on the outskirts of the city.
There was a fight between Edward
WILDER, who lived near the Conover
home, and Charles Perry, and it is
thought Conover might have been in

M~endenhall made a post-mortem ex-
animation on the body and decided
that Conover died from rupture of
the aorta and spleen. Both WILDER
