negro JUMPED
FROM A TRAIN

Reports from Joe Brookshire this
morning indicate that he is getting ON
well and that he will likely be out in
a few days.
Anderson Bailey, the negro who
stabbed Mr.. Brookshire, is still at
large, though he came near to being
caught this morning on the passenger
train. Mr.. Bounds, superintendent of
the Marion County farm, saw the ne
gro get on the train at Purvis and
thought he identified him.. He pointed
the negro out to another man, and
when Bailey saw this he jumped from
the train while it was going about thir-
ty miles an hour and took to the
woods. Mr.. Bounds is certain that it
was the negro Bailey.
Bailey's house was guarded by the
police last night, but he did not show
up.

According to Prof. Irsing Fisher of Yale,

United States. This is equal to the deaths
from typhoid fever, scarlet fever, diph-

smallpox, and cancer all put together. a

She simply sat still while an army

ALL HONEST MEN.

I'VE are all honest men, says
Congress in reply to the thrusts at
that body in the President message
The Objectionable paragraph was
that in reference to the law enacted
at the last session of congress for
bidding the transfer of secret service
men to work on matters connected
with Investigations by the law depart
ment In the Investigations of the
connection Of certain congressman
with timber frauds in the West, these
secret service men rendered most
valiant service. So much so that one
Senator was convicted.
The President says that the res
friction on the transfer of secret
service men was in the interests Of
the criminal class. Now naturally
enough congressman object to being
included, even by insinuation, in any
such class.
The President used this pointed
language in his message:
The chief argument in favor of
the provision (forbidding the trans
fer of secret service mem was that
the congressman did not themselves
wish TO be investigated by secret
service men. l do not believe that
it is in the public interest to protect
criminals in any branch of the pub
lie service, and exactly as we have
again and again prosecuted and con-
victed such criminals who were in
the executive branch of the govern
ment, so in my belief we should be
given means to prosecute them il
found In the legislative branch.
So on Friday the house appointed
a committee of five to consider what
action should be taken. The Senate
| is expected to concur.
Some people are so sensitive.

other Directoire toque has large
soft crown of black chiffon velvet,
encircled with folded drapery of
green and gold shot moire silk, and
finished at the side with a high black
aigrette. A third Directoire shape
has a beehive crown of bright gold,
with folds of pink velvet by way of
brim, and pink aigrette to give the
necessary height at the side.
The large picture hats include one
in black satin, with a very wide brim,
trimmed with long black ostrich fea-
theirs of the weeping-willow kind
and showers of jet palliettes, and
another very beautiful chapeau in

ANOTHER FREE TRADER.

Following the declaration of Carne-
gle for a reduction of the duties on
steel, Claus Spreckels, President Of
the Federal Sugar Refining company,
takes a similar position in regard to
the duties on sugar, in an address be-
fore the Ways and Means Committee
of the House of Representative s on
Nov. II.
Thus it appears from the admission
of those best posted on the subject
that the present tariff which aids two
most important industries, is really
unnecessary, except to line the peck
cts of the trusts at the expense of the
common people.
The statements Of the two gent =
men named will be strong argumen, $
in the hands of the tariff reformers
at the coming session of congress.
With the whole country aroused on
the subject of graft, pressure should
be exerted sufficient to secure a re-
modelling of the tariff along lines
which do not contribute to the trusts
without good reason.
Mr. Spreekles goes farther than Mr.
Carnegie, and advocates the entire Gb-
clifton of the duty on raw and refined
sugars. He said in part:
1t is evident that the country de-
sires a revision of the Tariff, and ex-
poets a reduction of duties, whenever
it can be shown to be reasonable,
feasible and advantageous Person
ally, take no stock in the old and
threadbare theory that the duty on
sugar cannot be abolished, on accou 1t
of the Government requiring the rev-
enue, and have full confidence that
your Committee, and the Senate FL
nance Committe, can. after your years
OF experience, raise the necessary
revenue from other sources.
AS far as the production of the
domestic Sugar is concerned, | claim
that Beet Sugar Factories located in
proper localities, such as Colorado,
California, Utah, Idaho and Oregon,
should, and, am informed, can pro-
duce Granulated Sugar at 21ac. per
pound. OF course, If it be the purpose
of this Government, to impose tariff
which will enable the production of
articles in unsuitable localities, ut
the expense of tie American Public,
then an import duty is necessary, AMI
viii always have to be maintained.
AS far as Louisiana is concerned,
contend that the Sugar Trust is in
a position to seize, at its discretion, a
large share, if not all, of the benefit
of the protection granted.
AS far as our Colonies are concern
ed, they to-day are able to produce
Sugars in competition with the rest
of the World
Under the circumstances, | believe
the sooner our Government reduces
and gradually wipes out entirely the
duty on Sugar, the better it will be
for the country, and all concerned,
of course bearing in mind that
the differential afforded refiners,
should be reduced in proportion to
the reduction in duties on Raw Sugar.

the German soldier. Confectionery

surpasses roast beef, porterhouse

Who knows but some investigator
of the future will find in the matinee
girls caramels the foundation of
that physical yigor and mental alert
ness which is the admiration OF for
eign observers? Or discover in our
rs pounds per capita consumption OF
sugar annually the physical basis
of our eminence among nations?
