eyes could flash, or twinkle nerrily with humor, or look out from under overhanging brows as they did upon the Five Points children in kindlest gentleness. So, too, in public speaking. When his tall body rose to it's full height, with head thrown back, and his face transfgured with the fire of earnestness of his thought, he would naswer Douglass in the high clear tenor that came to him in the heat of de- bate, carrying his ideas so far out over the listening crowds. And later, dur ing the years of war, when he pro- nounced with noble gravity the words of his famous addresses, not one in the throngs that heard him could truly say that he was other than a handsome man.
 It has been the fashion, too, to say that he was slovenly and careless in his dress This also is a mistake. His clothes could not fit smoothly on his gaunt and bony frame. He was no tailor's figure of a man; but from the first he clothed himself as well as his  means allowed, and in the fashion of the time and place. In reading the gro- tesque stories of his boyhood, of the tall stripling whose trousers left exposed a length of shin, it must be remembered not only how poor he was, but that he lived on the frontier, where other boys, less poor, we're scarcely better clad. In Vandalia, the blue jeans he wore were the dress of his companions as we'll, and later, from Springfield days in clear through his Presidency, his costume was the usual suit of black broadcloth, carefully made and scru- puously neat. He cared nothing for style. It did not matter to him wheth- CT the man with whom he talked wore a coat of the latest cut, or owned no coat at all. It was the man inside the coat that interested him,-Helen Nico- lay in the St. Nicholas.

 was made at Henderson's ball grounds in the edge of the town.
 There the negroes were given time to confess the crime. They refused to either deny or confess, and were so thoroughly frightened that they almost lost the power of speech. John Gil- lespie wept piteously and begged for his life.
 Firing of its efforts to secure state- ments from the negroes, the ropes were quickly brought forward and adjusted. and the three were strung up 10 the limbs of one tree, and with howls and curses the crowd riddled the dangling bodies with bullets.
 By 12:30 o'clock it was all over. and a half hour later nothing remained of the immense throng that had packed the streets but few groups of citizens dis cussing the lynching.
 George Erwin was taken from the iail with his associates and closely oues- tioned. Then the mob led him back to. his cell. Nease Gillespie maintained his innocence to the end. The others would neither confess nor deny the crime.
 Ed Barber, a relative of the murdered man, followed the mob with the prison. CTS to the scene of the lynching and pleaded with them to return the negroes

NOVEL BALLOONING AT WHITE

 Powerful Searchlight.
 Night ballooning, with the balloon within the intense rays of 50O0O- candle-power searchlight, was the novel and sensational spectacle presented at the White City last evening. This is the first time in this or any other coun- try that balloon ascent has been made under such spectacular conditions Man ager Speck was the father of the searchlight scheme, and it proved g great success. John Mack, of Professor Flowers company of aero- nauts, made the ascent from the White City at 10:15 and sailed almost straight up for nearly mile, the great search light keeping the balloon and daring aeronaut in sight all the time. The drop from the balloon and the opening of the parachute were as plainly visible to the spectators as the moon or stars. The scene was made all the more spec tacular by the turning out of all the lights in the White City, leaving the place in absolute darkness. It was cer- tainly sight worth seeing.
 Ascensions will be given every after noon and evening, and those at night will be given with the searchlight Pro- lessor Flower stated last night that the searchlight was decidedly the most in teresting and spectacular adjunct of night ballooning it has ever been his pleasure to witness, and congratulated Manager Speck for being the first to think of it. Splendid views of the as tensions can be had from the chutes and the various pavilions
 Every person entering the White City will be given free a ticket which on Thursday night of this week may result in their being awarded one of the fol- lowing fine list of prizes, the only stip- uiation being that the holder of the cor responding number must be on the

Bring upper arm down smartly, keep ing it rigid at elbow and wrist, palm of hand open, fingers well together. Carry it through the water just below the surface, describing a semicirele to end at the thigh, then bend arm at the elbow and brig it Harvard we'll above water, until it is straight before you in the original position. The under arm should be started when the upper one is just about through with Its stroke and should be brought down with force,

 is bent at the elbow like the other and
 brought forward just below the sur
 face. The upper arm should rest on the ? water, at full reach, while the under one one recovers, until it is at the height of the head.
 The action of the arms, in the side stroke entails rolling motion of the body which buries the face at every stroke. This necessitates an artificial way of breathing which has to be | learned before the stroke can be swum properly. It is advisable to make special study of it. Air should be in- haled through the mouth as the up- per arm is being brought down, and should be exhaled through the nostrils, under water, while the under arm
 goes farward Some find this impossible even after long practice, and breathe
 in and out through the mouth during the short period that the face is above water. but if one can acquire the other
 way it is far the best.

HOW

HOW TO SWIM-THE SIDE
 STROKE.
 Whether man be a swimmer or not, in taking up a new stroke he should begin with the leg movement only. In the side stroke it is called the scissor kick. To acquire it find place with water at least three feet in depth, where you can use either a stationary or floating support. Take hold of this support and let your body rest on the water, on it's side, with legs straight and well together and feet as if stand ing on tiptoe. Choose the side that feels most comfortable. Now proceed to open the legs very slowly not frog fashion, but fort and back, as in walking. The upper should be brought forward al- most straight, the under back, bent to a kneeling position. When they are about two feet apart snap sharply to- gether.
