REvIvES SUPPOSED DEAD MAN.
Surgeon Resuscitates Patient With
Strychnine and Oxygen.

Brooklyn, N. Y.-Dr. Henry Jaf-
fer, a member of the staff of the
Eastern District Hospital, Williams
burg, resuscitated a patient of the
institution after he had apparently
been dead for three minutes. Miss
Josephine Ryan, senior nurse, had
reported the mans death to the SUI
perintendent, DR.. Louis Wiegand, and
he had given orders for the removal
of the body to the hospital morgue.
An attendant had also been sent to
notify the wife of the patient. When
she arrived she found him alive. The
man continued to rest comfortably,
but DR.. Jaffer did not hope for his
ultimate recovery.
The doctor resusciated the patient
by injecting an eighth of a grain Of
strychnine into his side and applying
oxygen. Then he continued the arti-
fetal respiration until the patient
slowly commenced to breathe faint
ly. The pulse started at the same
time. When the doctor made the in
lection there was apparently no res
piration or pulse.
The patient is Oscar Culver, thirty
nine years old, of 262 South Fourth
street, Brooklyn. He is a sufferer
from consumption and rheumatism.

NEGRO LAbORERS ATTACKED
Miners and Mountaineers Unite
to Brighten Rivals Away.
Result Of Attempt to Work Negroes
With Whites at Kings Noun
tain Coal Mine. Tennessee.

Knoxville, Tenn.-Negroes are be-
ing driven out Of two mining districts
near Jellico by an armed band Of
white miners and mountaineers.
Three hundred negro men, women
and children have fed in terror into
Jellico and other towns. A band of
seventy-one negroes took refuge in a
company house in Antras, several
miles from Jellico, and, armed to
the teeth, bid defiance to miners and
mountaineers, estimated at from 200
to 400 in number, who surrounded
the place and threatened to kill and
burn them and the entire camp.
The band of whites, heavily armed,
quietly collected all the negroes at
the Kings Mountain Mine, near the
Tennessee line, and drove them like
sheep all day in the direction of Jel-
lico. The negroes travelled eighteen
miles. At night the whites permitted
the women and children to camp and
eat what they could collect, but
forced the men to move on. All day
negroes fled into Jellico and other

mine refused to leave, and eleven ne
gro men from Kings Mountain joined
them. When the white men reached
Antras they ordered all the negroes
to flee the country.
Women and children and many
men, 800 in all, fled, but seventy-one
negroes. armed with weapons pro-
vided by the general manager of the
mine and Deputy Sheriff Gross, re-
fused to go. Sheriff Huddleston, of
Campbell County, was found in a re-
mote part Of the county. He did not
reach the spot until night. He found
the terrified negroes huddled in the
company house. armed, but afraid to
fire first OIL the mountaineers. Cour-
iers went out in every direction for
possemen, and fifteen deputies and
twice as many civilians hurried to
the place to aid in the protection of
the. negroes.
General Manager German was
warned that if the negroes did not
leave he and all of them would be
killed.
Civil authorities do not believe
they can handle the situation, for
white men are slow in responding to
the summons Of the Sheriff. The
trouble started over an attempt to
work negro miners with whites in
the two mines. The negroes had been
in the mines almost a month, but the
white miners were hostile, and news
Of the race war in Springfield reached
that section and kindled the smolder-
ing fire.

100000 WELCOME
FLEET At SYDNEY
American Warships Greeted by
New South Wales Populace.
GUNS ROAR AND FLAGS FLY
Shores of the Australian Harbor
Lined With Great MultitudeS Of
Enthusiastic People - Salutcs
From Forts and Ships.

Sydney, New South Wales.-A thin
veil of smoke on the horizon signalled
to the watchers on the coast the ap-
proach of the American warships, and
at 5.35 a. m. official notification was
sent out that the fleet had been
sighted. 1t was yet twenty miles out
side of Sydney Harbor, but this word,
which had been awaited eagerly by
tens of thousands, stirred Australians
like a call to arms, and almost in
stantly those who had not already
left the city to take up positions of
vantage along the bays, were moving
in droves to line the quays. the roof
tops, and other places on the harbor
front to watch the coming Of the
%guardships Of the New World.
The day broke bright and clear. So
intense was the interest in the Amer
lean ships of war that half the popu-
lace had remained awake the entire
night and thousands upon thousands
of them long before the night was
over were on their way TO the hill
tops outside the city limits, where
they massed seemingly in unbroken
lines along the coast from Bondi
Beach to Manly.
1t is estimated that hardly less
than half a million people assembled
to give the visitors a royal welcome.
Sydney Harbor, with its innumerable
bays, coves and branches, never
--1. -.o,o ho,,f;fp1 nnr did the
American sailors ever witness a more
inspiring sight than that which met
their eyes as the white ships came
through the channel past the great
headlands into Port Jackson.
A hundred thousand people, the
greatest single assemblage o. all,
gathered on the south head, where a
magnificent view Of the whole scene
was to be had. Hundreds Of craft OF
all kinds moved up and down even at
that early hour, all the waters, with
the exception of the fairway and the
anchorage, being dotted with little
and big vessels decorated in every
conceivable manner with flags and
bunting.
In perfect alignment, the flagship

ships came out of the horizon. Pass
ing in through the Sydney Heads in
double column at intervals Of 400
yards, the ships looked to have a
world of speed and power under their
%glistening sides. The fleet vas at
tended by convoy steamers and was
greeted with a roar o. salutes from
the forts as it steamed slowly along.
The thousands ashore and afoat
added their cheers to swell the noisy
welcome, and countless British and
American flags were flung to the
breeze and still were waving long
after the anchors had been swung
from the sides.
The American ships doomed forth
a salute TO the port, and as oon as
they were safely moored at their
anchorage official visits were ex.
changed.

Those Considerate Japs.

"The japanese servant has many
curious traits" said the man who
keeps one, "besides his constant habit
of eating raw fish, but he Is inordi-
nately polite, as a rule. For instance,
he never will give you notice that he
wishes to leave you. Instead, his
work will grow steadily worse and
worse till you can't stand it any
longer, and so you fire him. It's al
ways done purposely to- avoid the
necessity of telling YOU outright that
he Is tired of you and wants to quit"

CHAF|N ACCEPTS
AS LEADERS CHEER
Prohibition Candidate Notified OF
His Nomination.
HIS ADDRESS OF ACCEPTANCE
At Music Hall, in Chicago, in the
Presence OF a Large Audience,
Eugene w. Chain, of Chicago,
Accented Prohibition Nomination

AcccpteQP PROHIBITION oIninatioH
Chicago.-At Music Hall, in the
presence of a large and enthusiastic
audience, Eugene w. Chain, of Chi
cago, accepted the nomination for the
Presidency by the Prohibition party.
The notification address was made by
Professor Charles Scanlon, of Pitts
burg.
In his speech OF acceptance Mr..
Chain said in part:
we are now approaching the close
Of another fifty years, where two
dominant political parties, Republican
and Democratic, have allied them
selves with the most gigantic crime
that ever cursed the world and by
their attitude made known to the
American people that they do not
propose to permit them to have a
chance, even though the majority
may favor it, to destroy the liquor
traffic and add another amendment
to the Constitution which would
mark the highest achievement of CIV
~ilization in the worlds history.
"The lofty ideals Of twentieth n
fury craftsmanship call for a United
| States Senate born Of an Intelligent
peoples conscience instead Of mock
ing statues surmounting the pedestals
of concentrated wealth; the equaliza-
ton of public burdens by a system
that will compel the rich to pay their
! proper proportion Of the costs of gov
eminent. A graduated income and
inheritance tax will be a long step in
this direction.
"The development of the trusts
has changed entirely all the old the
cries of a protective tariff and free
trade, and the people demand legis-
lation In their interest on this i'm
portant matter, which can best be
worked out by a permanent tariff
commission. Ours is the only party
that strikes a blow at the social evil,
so closely allied to the liquor traffic,
and proposes the only practical meth
cd of stamping out polygamy
throughout the nation by a uniform
marriage and divorce law.
while not a line Of history will
be changed by the election of a Re-
publican or Democrat, the triumph Of
the Prohibition party and the placing
Of it's platform in the Constitution
and upon the statute book will write
the longest, brightest, purest and
most beneficent chapter of history
that has marked the progress of CIV
ilization since governments were in
stituted among men,"
