DISPLAYING MATERIALS
FOR BUILDING WORK
Iron and Steel Are Coming In
to More General Use.

London. July 2O.--In many directions
iron and steel are disp1acing other ma
terials for constructive purposes. The
case of Orders for colliery purposes is
perhaps one of the most typical and
striking. Some 10000 tons OF pit
wood are sent weekly into Cardiff
alone and although pitwood costs 2os.,
and steel about f6 los per ton. steel IS
winning its way all along the line,
mainly because timber is getting
scarcer and dearer, and because steel
is a more convenient and reliable MA
terial. If this change became general
in the mining world, one can easily i'm
agine that the demand for steel Sirders
would be enormous. seeing that the
worlds output of coal is now close on
to a thousand million tons.

TIGER MEDICINE.
A Secret That Was Guarded by an East
Indian Trainer.

The maharajah of Jammu had al one
time the distinction of possessing the
finest male tiger kept in captivity any
where in the world. Percival Landon
in Under the Sun" describes this
beast and tells strangely interesting
story, which he declares is strictly
true. in regard to it.
The tiger, glorious brute of white
and orange and black, with steel SIN
ews ard teeth like Sikh daggers. lay
sulkily in his cage and growled. Ma
daun. the attendant. spoke to the tiger.
and as be did so the beast flung him.
self furiously against the fiimsy bars
The keeper pat his slender hand under
his clothing and pulled out a little
white bag.
Some years ago the tiger had found
that the little back door OF his den was
open. The assistant Of the little men-
acerie returned to find him loose in
the garden and fed.
In half an hour Jammu's streets were
as those of dead city. No man him
dered the tiger, and he glided silently
down the main street of the town,
beautiful vision of orange and black
striped death. He reached the jungle
and vanished.
An hour later Madam came back to
his work and heard the news. A few
minutes afterward another solitary fig
ure made its way down the still empty
street. He had no weapon. He had
little white bag in his hand and was
soon lost to sight in the jungle.
An hour later he returned, barehead-
ed in the sun At his heels, fawning
and kittenish, sIouched the tiger, and
round its neck was loosely tied one
end of Nadaun's white pugree. 1t was
the little white bag that had done it.
Would your honors like to see the
effect of this medicineT' Nadaun put
his hand into the bag and scattered a
few whitish grains inside the bars. In
a moment the tiger was upon them,
searching out the tiniest bit of what
ever it was. In fifteen seconds he was
on his back, beating the air with his
huge paws, like a kitten at play.
Madam very naturally refused to al
low US to look closely at the powder.
1t was his livelihood. he said. and his
secret, IL our honors would pardon him.

CHILD Dor.

Posing as men of refinement, chris

OF children in mines, factories and
sweat shops. When these men appear
in public they are looked up to on
account of what IS supposed to be
their superhuman millions of dollars.
Instead they should be cursed as ira
itors for that is what they are. They
are betraying thousands Of their fell
low beings children into soul des-
troying and mind dwarfing condition
in order to make the difference be-
tween what a man can command in
wages and what a child can get.
Dumb animals are better treated than
these poor children. A farmer

It was fully developed and strong
enough to stand the work. A child
employing manufacturer thinks moth
ing of the health he is stealing from
a child of barely five years. We speak
of America as the home OF the free

home Of over two millions of child
slaves laboring for a miserable pit
lance, stunning their health and NOR

and the odious sweatshops of all the
great cities. Unless the educated
men who are fathering this system

wrong they are committing, the time
will come when they will pay terri
BILE price for their crime. These
children, dwarfed, as we have said,

OPERATOR MURDERED.

Morris F. Van Gosen, Baltimore
and Ohio Railroad telegrapher. for the
past six years in charge of the signal
tower near Hancock, Md, station, was
murdered at 2:30 O'Clock yesterday
morning about 200 yards east of the
station.
William Jones, a Baltimore and Ohio
track hand, whose home is only short
distance east of where the crime was
committed, was arrested and lodged in
the county Jail at Berkeley Springs,
charged with causing the death of Van
Gosen. The theory is that Van Gosen
was mistaken by Jones for another man
with whom Jones had quarreled q
short time before, and that in the dark
meas Jones killed Van Gosen, thinking
the operator was his alleged enemy.
Jones declares he Is innocent.
Desiring to attend dance Saturday
night, young Van Gosen secured re-
lief operator-Ford Bachtell, of Berke-
ley Springs-to take charge OF the sig.
nal tower during his absence. After the
dance had broken up Van Gosen and
other young men OF Hancock and vicini-
ty returned to their homes. At 2:20
O'Clock yesterday morning Van Gosen
went to the signal tower to see il
everything was in good shape. After con-
versing for about FIVE minutes with Bach
tell and several companions, including
John Rankin and Edward Catlett, who
were at the tower at the time, Van
Gosen started down the railroad to 20 to
the home of Julius Cordwell, where he
boarded. A few minutes after he had
left a shot was heard by a number of
persons living in the neighborhood, but
as everything wss quiet after that no in
vestigation was made.
1t was not until 6 o'clock yesterday
that the lifeless body of Van
GOsen was found.

TROUBLE I'M ONANCOOK.

There was trouble in Onancock, Va.
last Friday, superinduced by the attempt
of John NJ. Fosque, liveryman, to col
ect from Sylvanus Conquest, colored, q
clerk in the store of Samuel L. Burton,
also colored, the amount due for the hire
of a team. When Fosque went to the
store and demanded the money, Con-
quest refused to pay, and he and Burton
cursed Fosque.
Fosque left the store and put the mat
ter in the hands of Constable Tankard
Kellam, who aflerwsrd went to Burton's
store. Conquest was impudent to KEEL
lam, who called upon Burton to help ar
rest him. Burton refused with curses.
Mr.. Kellam had to use brass knuckles
to arrest Conquest, who was tried by the
town authorities that night and fined.
On Saturday night the negroes planned
a riot. j. ID. Uzzle, schoolteacher,
editor OF the Peninsula Times and secre-
tary and treasurer of the Negro Fair
Association, without provocation began
TO shoot in front of r. l.. Shield & Co. g
store.
A ball severely wounded Garland Be-
lote, who was coming out of the store.
About the same time at the east end of
the town, near Burton's store and
Uzzle's printing Office, a crowd of negroes
had met to FIRE upon Mr.. Fosque if he
should drive hack to the station.
They sent a negro, John Topping, to
see whether the vehicle was driven By
white man or by negro. At his reply
that the driver wss white man the
negroes opened fire, fatally iDjuring
Topping, but by a miracle, ak men and
one woman who were in the hack escap-
ed unhurt. There trunks and dress-suit
cases were riddled with bullets. This so
incensed the citizsns that they began to
gather, heavily armed.
The crowd went to look for Burton
and Uzzle, but they could not be found.
For an hour they kept up heavy firing
of guns and pistols, and then as the
crowd seemed willing TO disperse the
mayor, constable, and sergeant went to
their homes.
A thoroughly aroused mass of men
from miles around began again 10 shoot,
and the store and printing Office we're
burned. At daylight the firing ceased,
except from the guards who remained on
duty throughout the town for several
hours.
"Dr. Bowen black sgilator, was also
ordered out of town. Uzzle and Burton
are still at large, and threats oflynching |
if they are caught have been heard.
Arms to be supplied by the Governor
Of Virginia were talked of at citizens
meeting. The residents also asked for
an injunction to prevent the negroes
rom holding their agricultural fair at
rasley Tuesday.
Governor Swanson, accompanied by
General Anderson, left Rich.
nond for 0nancock last night, after re-
'eipt of telegram from the mayor Of

ammunition be sent Immediately, as

'ort News 10 Old Point the Chesapeake

rnor and the acknowledgement, and they

Charged with Perjury.

Berlin, Aug. 12.-On the strength OF
a new statement made by Olga Molitor,
daughter OF the woman Carl Hau, the
former Washington college professo, rwas
convicted of killing, Hsu's attorneys are
suing Olga for perjury. Miss Molitor,
who was with her mother when the latter
was killed, stated that she saw the muir
derer and is convinced it was Hsu. This
directly contrsdicts her testimony in
Hau's trial and is the basis of the alleged
perjury.
Gable messages from Berlin last week
stated that Olga Molitor had herself been
accused of numbering her mother by
Baron Won Lindeuau. The Baron was
reported to have written letters to Olga
saying he had been behind her at the
time Of the murder and saw her commit
the crime, but offering to keep the secret
if she would marry him. Lindensu, it
developed, was also the author of several
anonymous letters sent the prosecutor
during Hau's trial saying Hau was not
the guilty party.
