NEGROES LYNCH NEGRO.
Posse of Blacks Avenges the Killing
of White Man.

Yazoo City, Miss.-The negro Charles
Jones, who killed r. +. Mccormick and
two negroes at Eden, yesterday even
ing, was killed about two hours later
by posse of negroes.
After killing Mccormick, 7-year-old
negro boy and a negro man, and grazing
the face of negro girl with a ball. and
shooting at sixteen other people, he
went to his home, about two and half
miles out, where the posse found him.
The posse consisted of five enraged
negroes, who were ready to defend the
community against such outrages. Three
approached the front of the house and
two the rear, and when Jones attempted
to escape from the rear he was killed
instantly. A posse hunted the negro
who sold the cocaine to Jones, and if
he had been found the chances are that
he would have suddenly quit business.
The people of both races are thoroughly
enraged, and the cocaine vendor will
hereafter be dealt with severely.

Total Loss.

Washington.-After having drawn the
attention of the world to his aerOplans
flights at Fort Myer, and having estab-
lished new worlds records for heavier
than-air flying machines, Oryille Wright
today met with a tragical mishap while
making two-man fight. The aero
pianist was accompanied by Lieut.. Thos.
f. Selfridge, of the signal corps of the
army. Lieut.. Selfridge was fatally in
jurtd and died at s.: 10 o'clock tonight.
Mr.. Wright was seriously injured, but
is expected to recover.
While the machine was encircling tho
drill grounds propeller blade snapped
off, and, hitting some other part of the
intricate mechanism, caused it to over
turn in the air and fall to the ground,
enveloping the two occupants in the
debris.
Soldiers and spectators ran to where
the aeroplane had fallen and assisted
in lifting Mr.. Wright and Lieut.. Sell
fridge from under the tangled mass OF
machinery, rods, wires and shreds OF
muslin. Mr.. Wright was conscious, and
said: ''Oh, hurry and lift the motor"
Lieut.. Selfridge was unconscious and
had apparently struck the ground with
great force His head was covered with
blood and he was choking when the sol
diers extricated him from under the ma
chine.

Time Ball Helps Business.

Whenever the time ball on the

out of business for even a day low
wall of agony goes up from the jew
elers of Washington. When one
doesn't stop to think about it. wouldn't
it seem that the jewelers. would de-
test that ball as hindrance to their
business of regulating and setting
watches?
1t isn't, though. A local jeweler told
me the other day that the time ball
was worth several hundred dollars a
year to him, and asked him how
Why, 'tis simple" said he, "as
simple as the problem of two and

thousand people watch that ball drop
every day at noon, and not single
one of all the number but sets his
watch on the dot. Now, setting a
watch at least once in "a hours is
not only bad for the watch, but 1t

NEAR RIOT AT OYSTER BAY
Prominent Citizen Roughly Handled
by Secret Service Men.

Oyster Bay-President Roosevelt's re-
ception to the villagers today nearly
ended in a riot when secret service men
held up Charles Kursman, the leading
business man of Oyster Bay. Mr.. Kurs-
man, accompanied by two ladies, at
tempted to approach the president, who
was receiving all visitors. A secret ser
vice man grabbed Mr.. Kursman and told
him that he would not be allowed to
approach the president.
Mr.. Kursman, as he tells the story
said tonight:
Il thought it matter of precedence
and l waited patiently. After every one
else had shaken hands with the president
l started forward again. Once more
was stopped. The secret service man
said that a complaint had been made
against me. l demanded that | should

retary or the chief of the secret service.
While Mr.. Kursman was protesting
the women with him began to cry. The
two hundred spectators were quickly at
tracted to the scene. Finally James
Stone, head of the secret service, came
up. He recognized Mr.. Kursman and
called Secretary Loeb.
The two conducted Mr.. Kursman to
the president, who received the merchant
cordially.
Mr.. kursman is not only the leading
merchant in Oyster Bay, but he is a
member of the presidents lodge of Ma
sons.

COMMISSIONERS RESTRAINED
Arkansas Cannot Enforce Freight
Tariff and Passenger Rate.

st. Louis, Mo.--Federal Judge Trie-
Der, of Little Rock, today granted a
temporary injunction to the Kansas City
Southern Railway, restraining the Ar
kansas board of railroad commissioners
from enforcing the maximum freight
tariff law and the twocent passenger
rate law He said tonight that, in his
opinion, the rates were so low as to be
cOnfiscatory.
Before issuing the injunction, however,
he required the railroad company to ex-
ecute a bond guaranteeing reparation in
all cases of overcharging, provided that
the court in final hearing decides in
favor of the complainant.
The railroad is required to issue to
each passenger a coupon with the ticket
showing the price paid and to each ship
per of freight a receipt showing the
amount he would have paid if no injunc
tiOn had been issued. Should the in
junction he dissolved, the road must re-
turn this difference to passengers and
shippers with interest for the period the
restraining order was in force.

That 1t is due to the effect of poison

That this poison acting upon the nerve

washinoton Statue for Capitol.

One of the subjects to be brought
before congress early in the next ses-
sion will be a proposition to provide
a suitable statue of Washington for
the east front Of the capitol, in view
of the removal of the Greenough
statue, which represents the Father
of His Country in the scant attire
of Roman statesman. from the plaza
to the Smithsonian institution.
Representative Mccall, chairman OF
the house committee on the library.
has introduced a bill providing for a
replica of the J. @. A. Ward statue
of Washington, which stands in front
of the custom house in New York.
Mr. Mccall proposes to place this
replica on the staircase on the east
front of the capitol, so that presidents,
In delivering their inaugural address
es, will stand at the feet Of the first
president.
This proposition is objected to by
many senators, who prefer having q
new work and not merely a replica.
The idea of placing a heroic statue
in bronze in a conspicuous place on
the plaza, representing Washington
in the act of delivering his inaugural
address, is finding many supporters in
congress, and they will urge an ap,
propriation for that purpose before

In the last few years, outside Of the

have been increasing in numbers in
the government service. Last year, in

national government, not including the
consular and diplomatic service, there
were 286,902 employees. Ten per cent.

Recently the department of COM
meree and labor has been looking into
detailed statistics concerning the full
civil service employees of the country.
It was found impossible to include for
comparison those employees in the sew

Home.

There's a vast difference between
a house and home. The house
is but the building and furniture,
the outward SHELTER and gathering
place of the household. The home
includes the kindly family affec-
tion, the thoughtful care and ready
sympathy and mutual confidence
and trust of the members. A true
home breathes the atmosphere of
love. A child should be made to
feel that his home is indeed a
home, the happiest place in the
world to him, not merely an out
ward shelter and resting place, but a
center of enjoyment, sanctified and
be purified by love, the thought
and remembrance of which shall be
the safeguard of his life as he goes
forth intothe world, gvng sire ngth

turning his thoughts to all that
may prepare him for the heaven
