NEGROES IN CITY
 UNRULY YESTERDAY
Three Murders Were Reported
 During the Day
MANY ATTEMPTS MADE
All Difficulties Were Among Them selves and Thirty-six Arrests We're Made During the
 Twenty-four Hours.

The negroes seemed to be on the war path yesterday. Among the various shoot ings was that in which Henry Smith was principal At about s:S0 D. m. he entered a house in Fifth alley, between Twen- ty-first and Twenty-second streets, and proceeded to let fly bullets in every direc- tion. He seemed to be seeing how near he could come to the hearts of the oceu- pants without killing them, for when the smoke had rolled away there were three negroes yelling with pain. Two men had received bullets in their arms, while a woman was shot in the leg.
 Smith did not remain for the investga- tion, but saw fit to leave town, making good his escape. Policeman Walker was called and he turned in the report to headquarters
 Deputy Catches Fleeing Man.
 Another shooting which occurred yes, terday morning early caused excitement on Avenue F in the vicinity of Fifteenth street. Deputy Sheriff Curl happened tc be riding along the street on his horse when a negro appeared on the sidewalk running as if for his life and pursued by a dozen others, some of whom were shooting.
 The deputy immediately joined in the chase. came up to the refugee and or dered him to stop. However, the mar continued to flee. Finally MT Curl got just little ahead, leaned down from his saddle and dropped the cold steel oi whereupon he stopped.
 When the prisoner was carried back il was found that his name was Noble Will. Hams, and that he had just shot William Washington, another negro, in the ab. domen, while standing in dye shop William may die.
 Murdered on Crowded Road.
 At o'clock yesterday morning William Winston, negro, staggered to the veran. da of a man named Mathis on the road between Avondale and Woodlawn, and cried out that a man in a hack had stabbed him for nothing.
 The occupants of the. house rushed out and before they could render him assist. ance he sank to the floor dead. The cor. oner made an Investigation and came tt the conclusion that Winston was carried to the place and murdered. He has clue to the identity of the murderer, and an arrest may follow. A receipt found on his person was the only thing that lead to his identity
 These were the incidents resulting ir death or probable fatalities, but the ne groes all over the city were unruly dur ing the whole day. All of their difficult ties were among themselves, and dozen were arrested on charges of assault and battery, assault with a weapon and az gravated disorderly conduct. Knives, pis- tols and knucks were among the weapons used.
 There were thirty-six arrests yesterday, and nearly all were negroes.

COT A BEAR.

Teddy Roosevelt, the President
bear hunter, met with his usual
good luck in the canebrakes oil
Louisiana. He killed a big black
bear in East Carroll on October
Is. The party was duly proud OF
the achievement after such siren
uous efforts to achieve this final
result. Undoubtedly this typical
American President will have some
good stories to relate of his ex-
periences in the cane brakes oil
Louisiana.

indeed that the time is not far
distant when the cotton stalk will
be as valuable a by-product of
the cotton crop as the seed has
become of recent years. and that
the stalks which are now cut
down and burned in the boil
weevil section of the South, will
be shipped to local cotton mill. :"

Road to Eminence.

At first blush it would appear
somewhat remarkable that the
young men of the present er,
desire to jump into paying posi-
tiOns without qualification or ex
periencs for the occupation t.
which they aspire. A little con.
sideration of the tendencies of the
times and the universal desire to
acquire wealth will disabuse the
mind of large share of its aston.
ishment. The memorable rules OF
preferment are imperative now as
in the earlier days of this repub
lie. Only in former days men
were willing to climb to promin.
ence by steady and persistent
effort, under disadvantages, and
by surmOunting great obstacles.
The times have changed and men
have changed with them. Hence
the growth of the spirit of specu-
lation, dishonesty, the Unsuitable
desire for gain to cater to wrong
full desires and evil passions.
There is only one pathway to
honorable preferment and that
road lays along the highway OF
honest endeavor. Persistent eff
fort alone leads to prominence,
backed By honest methods. That
is the history of every great man
who has achieved eminence in the
varied occupations or life. II is
the dislike of steady, persistent,
and unfsltering effort that is lead
ing so many bright young inteIlects
into ruin and disgrace. 1t was
Longfellow in his "Psalm of
Life" who sang the keynote to
honorable preferment when he
wrote those stirring words:
LET us then, be mp and doing
With heart for any fate,
Still achieving. still pursuing,
Learn TO labor and to wait"

with an innate gift and love fol
the profession. 1t requires a keen
kno Wedge of human nature and
the mental requirements of its
varied readers. To this must be
added mental acumen, diversified
knowledge. an aptitude in culling
the best thoughts of the best
writers on the exchanges, and an
almost tireless scanning the pages
of the numerous journals that
daily come into the editorial room.
These are some of the main
feaures of the necessary brain
work. leaving out all the numer-
Gus requirements of the minutIae
of the profession. or taking into
account the skill. taste. genius
and aptitude of the force in the
composing room.
Thus much as to this occupa-
ton which is the basis of public
intelligence and the handmaiden
of modern civilization and Chris
tianity. The American people
are highly intelligent, voracious
readers and exacting critics of
the mental pabulum furnished by
the daily and weekly journals of
the present era. They rarely
pause to take into account the
immense mental and physical
forces concentrated on these pub
locations. Yet. perhaps. there is
no business that furnishes so
much capital for so little re-
muneration. The expenses are a
constant drain on the capital
invested and the mechanical
operations are always on a cash
basis.
This leads naturally to the con-
sideration of the material en-
ployed in newspaper work. not
the least of which is the paper on
which it is printed. No matter
how high the price of paper may
soar. such thing as correspond
ing increase in the subscription

not so pessimistic as the common feeling at the present time. There is an old adage that it is always darkest before dawn. Sentiment changes quickly and another month may see people as hope ful as now they are depressed. There are several precedents for quick recov- cry in copper after great decline. The collapse of the Secretan corner put the price for Lake copper down to II cents in September, 1889, but in September, lS90 the price was l7 cents The col lapse of the Amalgamated umbrella in 1901 caused the price for Lake copper to go down to llla cents in November, 1902, but by the following March it was up to l4A cents.
 "The stock on hand is only small percentage of the consumption under normal conditions and it is confidently to be expected that it will be quickly swept away when confidence Is sufli- ciently restored to lead consumers into the market again. It is absurd to as. sume that the extraordinary recession of consumption that we have lately ex- perienced is going to continue indef- nitely, and when the rate does return to- the normal-when the banking trou. bles are over, when the speculators have been finally curbed, and when business confidence is generally restored-we may see revival of demand so sharp that the crippled producing facilities can not promptly meet it.
 Before that we may see further depression, even to nearly cost of pro- ducing the bulk of the output, which probably is between 10 and II cents per pound, but who can doubt that af- ter the market has come into natural balance the beam will swing up again What we should hope for is an elimin' ation of the unhealthful conditions which have created prices of 259s cents and llA cents in but little more than a half year. The natural laws of trade cause fluctuations in price, but not SC tempestuously.
