Wanted a Job-On Demand.

In the May American Magazine
Ray Stannard Baker gives wonder
full picture of the clash between
the races in a Southern city. In
connection with his account of the
freedom with which an old-time ne
gro will make demands IF white men
Mr.. Baker tells this story:
"Often a negro of the old sort will
literally buIldoze his hereditary
white protector into the loan of
quarters and half dollars, which
both know will never be paid back.
"Mr. Britain, superintendent of
schools in Fulton County, Ga, gave me
an incident in point. A big negro with
whom he was wholly unacquainted
came TO bis Office one day, and de-
manded he did not ask, but demand
ed job.
"tWhat's your rame?' asked the su-
perindent.
Martin Luther Britain was the
reply.
'''That sounds familiar said Mr..
Brittain-lt being, indeed, his own
name.
"'Yas, sab. Ah'm the son of yo' OF
nanny
SIN short, Martin Luther had grown
up on the old plantation; it was the
spirit of the hereditary vassal de-
handing the protection and support
of the hereditary baron, and he got
it,of course"

of the times. Organized labor very
largely believes the men innocent,
and champions their cause as martyrs
to labor An active campaign to
raise funds and create sentiment in
their behalf has been waged. 1t is
claimed that the men were extra
dited from Colorado by questionable
methods, amounting to violation of
their rights. President Roosevelt has
written the Central Federation that
so far as the federal government
can legally prevent any miscarriage
Of justice for or against these men he
will instruct the att orney general to

McClure's for Nav.

The May issue of McClure's Maya
zine is both important and pleasing.
The first article is CP. Connolly's "The
Fight of the Copper Kings" in which
are described in vivid manner the
struggle between F. Augustus Heinze
and the Amalgamated Copper
Company, the picturesque campaign
of 1900 and reelection of CLARK to the
senate, and the beginnings of the
great legal battle over the Butte Hill.

GENERAL NEWS.
Death of Ian McLaren.

DR.. John Watson, better known as
Ian McLaren, author of "Beside the
Bonnie Brier Bush" and many other
works, died in Burlington, Ia, Mon
day from the effects of tonsilitis,
while on lecturing tour. He was a
noted Scotch preacher.
Irish Council Bill In.
The so-called Irish council bill, in
tended to give modified home rule
to Ireland, was introduced in the
House of Commons Tuesday. 1t is
a government measure. Only faint
trace of home rule is apparent, the
intent being to give Ireland control
only of portion of the affairs that
solely concern her. The Unionists
oppose the bill, while the attitude of
the Irish members has not yet been
outlined. 1t apparently yields too
much to satisfy Great Britain and not
enough TO satisfy Ireland. 1t passed
to third reading, however.
MARVIN child Is Dead.
The body of little Horace Marvin.
who disappeared from his fathers
home at Dover, Del, March 4, and
for whom detectives had sought the
country over, abduction being feared,
was found Saturday lying in a pool
about half mile from where he was
last seen playing. There was no out
ward appearance that the child had
met with foul play, but rather that he
died from exposure, fatigue and hun
ger. Bot for the fact that the very
spot where he was found has been
searched repeatedly, there would be
no further suspicion. His father be-
lieves a crime was committed, and
that the body was placed there but
shortly before it was found.

Indians With Blue Eyes.

One of the mysteries of Mexico is
presented by the Maya Indians. who
inhabit the Sierra Madre mountains in
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins. blue eyes and light hair. and
students of ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them.
There is a tradition, however. that
these Indians are the descendants Of
the crew and passengers of Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the new world. but this tradition is
founded on nothing more substantial
than a folklore tale current amcng
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds OF moons
ago.

before City Judge II. w. Scott in
Barre city court. A granite cutter
named Osterberg was arrested for
vomiting on the sidewalk. He was
promptly discharged by Judge Scott,

the stomach Is not expectoration and,
incidentally, Judge Scott gave it as
his opinion that splitting and ex-
pectorating are two different things.
He held that ejecting saliva or tooac-

expectoration under the meaning of

statute.

CORONER ON HAND.
Had Warrant Issued at Once
 for Conductor Eaton

The news of the wreck quickly reached New Haven. Vice. President Dunn of the Naugatuck road, accom-. panied by Coroner Mix and others hurried to the scene. The coroner after making an inquiry into the situ. ation called upon Prosecutor Meigs and had warrant issued for the ar rest of Conductor Eaton of the spe- cial, which was turned over to Super fntendent Beach. who immediately communicated with the authorities at New Haven telling them to make the arrest as soon as possible. The cor oner then paid another visit to the scene of the wreck. after which he left for New Haven. stating that as practically all the parties whom he wanted to interview on the matter live in New Haven he had decided to hold the hearing there. Coroner Mix is somewhat familiar with the location where the collision occurred and not without good reason. About three years ago he was a passenger on a car coming into this city when it collided with an engine going in the opposite direction. The engineer was killed and several had close calls for their lives. Coroner Mix came out of the mixup with three or four broken ribs and a few bruises on his body.

First Weeks Debate in the Reich. Stag Predicts a Long Drawn
 Out Argument
NO CATHOLIC AID
Chancellor Won Buelow Would Form Government Majority :. Clerical
 Centrists Seemed Determined to Harass Government.

Berlin, March 2.-The first weeks debate in the new reichstag has widened the breach between the gov ernment and the Catholic party, with the result that it is tolerably certain that there is long contest ahead. Chancellor Won Buelow is endeavor- ing to form a government majority in the reichstag without the aid of the clerical centrists and the latter are determined to embarrass the gov ernment in order to reassert their former paramount position, and thus compel the chancellor to form 8 working arrangement with them, The debates indicated a growing in tensity of political feeling, which is extending to social relations. The members of the center party at a caucus resolved not to leave their cards at the chancellor's residence. as has been customery, nor to attend his parliamentary reception. The impression of experienced observers is that Germany is likely to have a period ,of lively internal politics which may even lead to another dis solution of the reichstag, after the reassembling of that body next fall, as the government. having badly de- feated the socialists may desire an- other general election and seek to re- duce the parliamentary representa- tion of the center party.

One of the Best Boats in the Pacific Coast Steamship
 Company's Service
FERRYBOAT COLLISION

Eureka, Cal, March 2.-The steam CT Corona, Captain Boyd, the best boat in the Pacific coast steamship company's service between Eureka and San Francisco, lies straddling the north jetty on Humboldt bay, q hope less wreck The Corona with nearly 100 passengers aboard, struck yester- day as Captain Boyd was attempting to drive her into port. The officers finally calmed the frightened passen- gers who assembled on the hurricane deck, where they remained until the rescue work was undertaken, a few hours after the ship stranded.
 Soon after the ship struck, a boat In charge of Quartermaster Gum was lowered. It contained three of the crew and three steerage passengers. It capsized at once in the boiling surf and sailor Herricks0n was drowned. Gum and the others reached the shore.
 A second boat in charge of Second Officer E. V. Jam, was put off. Bad ly battered and leaking like sieve, |. II, night saloon watchman. formerly a marine in the United States navy, stripped to the waist and attempted to carry line ashore. The line part ed, before he had gone far. Sothern was picked up by life savers. Sever al attempts were made to shoot a line aboard, but each time the line fell short. Finally Captain Hennig of the life savers managed to reach the Corona and picked up the line, Several unsuccessful attempts were made to work the life buoy, but it was not until near dark that Captain Hennig and his men worked effec- lively. At that time the ships boats had begun working and at dusk. Captain Boyd the last to leave the ship. stepped ashore.

The barkentine was damaged in the stern and her steering gear was disarranged. The accident is at- tributed to g misunderstanding of a signal. The Luarca was tied up safely at Mystic wharf.

PASSENGERS STORY
Says His Experience when Crash Came was One He'll Remember

Terrence Sullivan of Bank street, en employe of the Democrat, who with Patrick Craven, got on the pas senger car at Ansonia. says it was an experience he will remember as long as he lives Craven and himself were sitting together when the crash came and the next thing they knew they were lifted in the air and thrown on their backs. Sullivan was dazed by the shock, but he soon recovered and went to work carrying the dead men from the wreck. John Fftzsimons, brakeman on the special, told him that he jumped when the cars came together and also yelled to the engi- neer and firemen to do likewise, but unfortunately they either didn't have time or didn't want to. Although at noon the body of Engineer Fisher had not been found. this gave color to the rumor current about the place all day that he had jumped and dis appeared in the direction of Town Plot.
 Mir Sullivan says that it was some time before anybody could tell how many were killed and many were so confused that they didn't know what to do. He and few others imme- diately turned their attention to the engineer and tiremen, but at that time nothing could be done to help them and he believes that the force of the impact killed them outright.
