ter. No one accompanied the party
witness was with to Savannah, but
they were met at Savannah by DR.,
Grace, who accompanied them to
Lockhart. The party was immediate
ly divided and witness went to the
camp, where he remained three
months; before going away the first
he took to the woods and tried to
make his way to Pensacola, but
couldn't say how far he had pro-
crossed He and his companions took
a direction, and kept going. They
were afraid some one would catch
them and take them back. Witness
said he ran away from the camp be-
cause he was cheated and not given
the work he contracted for. That was
one of the reasons and the other was
because it was hot work, the men
were without water ana there was no
one to take any care of them. Wit
ness left Sunday before noon and
was caught Monday afternoon. After
he was caught and returned thirteen
of the men asked for their pay in
order to leave, but they had not been
paid. There was one of the bunch
who could speak English and he
asked Mr.. Lamata to pay them and
the latter told them to wait for the
regular pay day. Witness left before
the regular pay day, but only got as
far as Escambia bridge. Not being
able to get across the men returned
to Lockhart They then asked again
for money and as 1t was refused the
men were therefore compelled to go
to work again and wait for pay day
Eleven returned. Witness said there
was one who could talk English and
the men asked this fellow to go to
the bosses and ask them to either
pay the men off or give them work,
as they had no money They were in
a peculiar position, not having a cent
OF money. AS they were returnins
toward Lockhart they told the man to
see Lamata and ask that he either
pay them off or let them go to work.
When they left it was their intention
to come to Pensacola and enter suit
for wages due them from the lumber
company.
At this point recess was taken
until 2:3O p. M, when the cross-ex-
animation of witness Laninger was
continued.

Witness stated, in answer to q
query by counsel for defense that he

for them. They were trying to sell
the man a coat in order to get money
wherewith to buy food. Before thew
reached camp they decided that the
man who could speak English should
go to Lamata and ask that they either
be paid or allowed to return to work
until the day of settlement arrived
They waited for this man to return
but as he did not do so they returned
without him. He was at camp 3 or

BY his Samson-like strength, Albert
Fischer, a workman of Quebec, Cana
da, saved his life. Fischer was en-
ployed at stone crusher and his du-
ties consisted of feeding great rocks
into a giant crushing machine. To do
this he stood on platform just above
the crusher Just after he had dropped
a little fifty-pound boulder into the
machine his foot slipped and he fell
headlong between the immense steel
Jaws. No person was near to stop the
engine Bracing his shoulders against
the steel crushers. which were slowly
closing together, the sturdy workman
exerted all his strength in one pow
erful effort For a moment the ma
chine stopped; then the massive sides
drew apart and finally there was a
rending of steel points and the crush
er fell to pieces.

Very few persons have the courage
to be married quietly, without fuss or
expense. Men have sometimes gone
through the ceremony and left their
wives at the church door, but in such
cases the marriage was one of COM
pulsion or state necessity, and in no
wise affected the general custom. The
old fashion of the posy ring, given on
the wedding day., was pretty, and
these rings, with their quaint conceits
and affectionate notices, are now
eagerly sought after as curiosities.
In these proSaic times lovers no long
er share broken coins, or the halves
Of lOcket, or give miniatures to
wear round the neck, as even George
w, that heartless and selfish monarch
did, being buried with the picture of
Mrs. FitZ Herbert hanging on his
breast. Little items of sentiment are
gradually disappearing, but not the
fine clothes, the parade, the extrava-
gance, the crowds and the champagne.
Sweet music, come touch me with a

And let me sing song

The same men and their following
were responsible for the defeat Of
Bryan in 1896, and they will continue
to contribute to the defeat of real
democratic policies and real demo-
cratic leaders just as long as they are
permitted to remain in the party. The
sooner they are kicked out and made
to line up with the party of the trusts
and corporations where they belong,
the sooner will the democratic party
be in a position to command the re-

a book little known even TO collect

Connecticut who have never heard Of

the custom for the negroes living IN
the state 10 hold an election on the sat

day. choosing one OF their number as

election was held. the retiring governor
assigning shis office 20 another. The
