WOMAN MOB
LEADER IS SUICIDE

Springfield, Ill, Aug. 26.-Mrs.
Kate Howard, leader of the mob
in the recent race war in SPRING
field, tonight killed herself by
swallowing poison while being
taken to the Jail following the re-
turn of an indictment against her,
charging murder. She already
had been indicted for destruction
of property, but was out on bail.
She knew, however, that she was
likely to be brought to trial for
her life, together with Abraham
Raymer and Ernest Humphrey,
who were indicted with her for the
alleged murder of the two Negroes
who were hanged by the mob en-
the nights of August IA and Is.
''If I am indicted for murder I
will end it all by DEATH" she told
her friends, but they looked upon
her statement as occasioned only
by the excitement of the race war.
The detectives went to her home
to arrest her as soon as the indict-
ment was returned She asked
permission to change her clothing,
and the request was granted. 1t
was the woman's chance to carry
out her predetermined plan.
While changing her clothing she
drank the poison.
Its effect had not become ap
parent when she stepped from the
room and surrendered herself to
the man waiting to take her to
Jail. On the way she talked of
her case. She was given a prom
ise by the sheriff that she would
be permitted to telephone to her
lawyer
The first indication of what the
woman had done was when she
fell senseless at the entrance to
the Jail. A physician was sum-
moned. He made one injection of
a poperful stimulant, but before
the remedy had time to operate
the woman was dead.

cent, but they embolden the Grim
inal. The criminal knows it is
much easier to escape the mad
fury of the mod than the de-
liberate vengeance of the law.
But no man is SO innocent
that he can be safe at all
time from the frenzy of the mob,
Statistics show that during the
past ten years an average of thirty
two Negroes a year have been
lynched on the charge of assault
ing women. Granting that thirty
two per year are guilty, is that just
reason for condemning over 5000,
600 adult Negro men who have no
part in such crimes? Are we as a
nation to allow thirty-two crimi-
mails year out of a race of 10000
600 Of people to throw us into a
frenzy and change the complexion
of our civilization SO that we are
held up to foreign nations as an
uncivilized people not governed by
law or order? Again 1 would say
1 am not making any special plea
for the Negro, but because I feel
that lynching is not only wrong,
but mistake-an awful mistake.
Mob justice undermines the very
foundation upon which our civili-
zation rests, viz, respect for the
law and confidence of its security.
There are, in my opinion, two rem
edies-First of all, let us unite in
a determined effort everywhere
to see that the law is enforced,
that all people at all times and all
places see that the man charged
with crime is given fair trial.
Secondly, let all good citizens
unite in an effort to rid the COM
munities, especially the large cit
les, of the idle, vicious and gamb-
ling element. And in this connec-
ton I would not be just and
would not be frank unless | stated
that the betters of the black race
could use their influence, especial
ly in the cities, to see that the idle
element that lives by its wits with
out permanent or reliable occupa-
ton or place of abode is either re-
formed or gotten rid of in some
manner. In most cases it is this
element that furnishes the powder
for these explosions.

Columbus, Ohio. j. P. France
of 1899 Parker street, has been in
formed that a patent for his auto
matte railroad signalling device
has been issued at Washington.
The invention contemplates the
use of compressed air to operate
semaphores through an attach
ment at the rail, which is affected
by the fange of the locomotive
wheel and the space between SEM
aphores is thus blocked so that no
other train or part of train can en-
ter. The road is clear and the en-
gineer can proceed in assurance
that there will be no collision
ahead or behind, for if another en-
gineer should ignore the signal,
either in front or behind, and
seek to run past it, he would be
derailed, Mr.. Frances first idea
was to use electricity, but he
changed to compressed air because
he was advised it was more reliable.
Operation, he says, can be carried
on at an expense of rs cents a day
for distance of 20 miles. The
semaphores may be so miles more
or less apart.

WASHINGTON.
Wants Justice Done Negroes Noted Educator Requests
the World to Call Attention to How Mods are
threatening Civilization. Twenty-Five Ne
groes Lynched Within Sixty Days.

(By Telegraph to the Editor of The
Worldly
Baltimore, Aug. l9.-Within
the past sixty days twenty-five Ne.
groes have been lynched in differ
ent parts of the United States.
Of this number only four we're ev-
en- charged with criminal assault
upon women. Nine were lynched
in one day on the charge of being
connected with murder. Four
were lynched in one day on the
Charge that they passed resolu-
Sions In a lodge approving the
murder of an individual. Three
were lynched in one day on the
charge that they had taken part
in the burning of a gin house.
The others were lynched for mis-
cellaneous reasons.
One was publicly burned in op-
en- daylight in the presence OF wo-
men and children, after oil had
been poured upon his body, at
Greenville Texas, and reports
state that thousand people wit
messed the spectacle in the open
square of the town. One other
victim was eighty years of age.
How long can our Christian civili-
zation stand this? I am making
no special plea for the Negro, inno-
centor guilty, but I am calling atten-
ton to the bangor that threatens
our civilization.
For the Negro criminal, and es-
pecially for the Negro loafer,
gambler and drunkard, l have
nothing but the severest condem-
nation, and no legal punishment
is too severe for the brute that as
salts a woman.
1t requires no courage for SEQ
men to tie the hands of an indi-
vidual to the stake or to hang or
shoot him. But young men and
boys who have once witnessed or
who have read in the papers OF
these exciting scenes of burnings
and lynchings often get the idea
that there is something heoric in
attacking some individual in the
community who is at least able to
defend himself.
No doubt the people who en-
gage in lynchings and excuse them
believe that they will have the ef-
feet of striking terror to the guilty.
But who shall say whether the
persons lynched are guilty?
There is no way of distinguishing
the innocent from the guilty ex-
cept by due process of law. That
is what courts are for. Those
who have examined into the facts
know only too well that in the
wild Justice of the mob it is fire.

platform. He said that the Dem
ocratic party was the only "white
mans party" and that any Re-
publican who would not vote for
those two planks should live to see
the day when "his daughter would
wed Negro and rear brood of
offsprings of the dusky sons Of Eth
iopia." Feeling in the packed
court house became SO intense
that the speaker was Kissed from
the platform. The local papers
will take the matter up tomorrow
and deal with according to their
respective lights. The city is
much stirred over the sensational
speech.

spicuous in the windows and doors
of many of the leading restaurants
and hotels 1t developed that an
agreement had been entered into
some time ago between the hotel
and restaurant keepers association
and the lodge whereby the associa-
ton agreed to pay for the use of
the st. Paul auditorium for the
Colored Elks provided the recep-
ton committees would instruct
visitors to keep away from all
places that were placarded. The
proposition was accepted.
Chicago, August 15.-Just as
the "Chicagoites" were commence
ing to forget about the restaurant
keeper putting up sign in the
window of his small, dark res
taurant that no colored patronage
was wanted, news leaked out about
a local business college refusing to
accept Miss Cora j. Hawkins as
pupil. Miss Hawkins formerly
live here, but now resides in Wash
d. @. She carried on
quite an extensive correspondence
with the management about enter
ing but when she made her ap-
pearance at the college some of the
ignorant members of the institu-
tions thought of the spelling con-
test in Cleveland and protested
against her admittance. AS is
usually the case, the applicant was
forced to go elsewhere.

RACE NEWS
GATHERED FROM VARIOUS SOURCE

Asbury Park, N. j., Aug. IT,
Hattie Reilly, aged 26 years, white
was slain tonight by her husband,
Randolph Reilly colored, after
she had shot him. Mrs. Reilly
was almost decapitated. The
quarrel began over the possession
of a revolver. Reilly demanded
that his wife give him the weapon,
and welded a razor in the strug-
gle to get it, The combatants fell
down the stairs, and Reilly was
hacking at his wife frantically
when the police entered.

Philadelphia's latest census
shows that it holds 107,OCO Ne
groes. Eight years ago it had but
62,613 Negroes, being outranked
in that respect by Washington,
Baltimore and New Orleans, Wash
ington was in the year 1906, the
chief Negro city, holding at that
time S6,702. There may occur in
1901 close race between Wash
ington and Philadelphia, but the
indications are that Philadelphia
will retain its position as the great
est Negro centre in the world, for
Africa itself has no city that con-
tains 100000 Negroes.

Chicago, ILL.,, August 49,
Through the presence of mind of
policeman another race riot was
averted in front OF No. 3317 State
street, Sunday morning. There
are a number of colored families
here who were forced to leave
their homes at Springfield, ILL.,,
where a serious race riot is being
waged, and many innocent colored
people are being killed or beaten
and their homes burned. While
discussing the affair Sunday
white woman happened to pass
and a colored woman looked her
square in the face. The white
woman became indignant and ask
ed the colored lady what she
meant by looking at a southern
white lady in that manner. She
continued that ''if you niggers
were down South you would be
lynched." The colored sister said
"You are not down South now, and
if I get to you I'll break every
bone in you body" Just then an
officer appeared and quieted mat
ters. The white woman pulled
hat pin and said: Il am not
afraid of 1000 niger If the
woman had been attacked chances
are would have sworn that she had
been assaulted. Then white men
would have come to her rescue and
there would have been another
riot.

Paris, Aug. S.-Fortune called
this week on a Negro dancer
named Charley Gregory, who is
100000 francs richer for the visit.
To be quite exact, fortune did not
find him at home, but in a tobac-
conist's shop, where Gregory, who
is an American by nationality,
but Partisan by employment was
lounging and chatting with the
proprietor. The latter while
sweeping out had found dirty
lottery ticket and offered jestingly
to sell it to Gregory for song
perhaps one ought to say a dance.
Gregory had not much use for the
lottery on the European plan, his
affections being faithful to four,
eleven, forty-four, but to oblige
his friend, the tobacconist, he
bought the ticket, which has now
won the first prize, $4,000. Now
Gregory is thanking st. Nicotin
for Turing him into that particu-
lar shop, but what will Carrie Ma
ton and the Anti-Tobacco league
say?

ONLY A DOG STORY.
BY EDWIN A. NYE.


ThlS Is a true story ABOUT Tommy
and his pup. mostly about the pup.
The pup was Tommy's understudy.
When Tommy was glad, the pup re-
joiced as to his tail. When Tommy
was sad. It was mournful to note the
decorous grief Of the pup. In DISPOSE
ton they were twins, Tommy and the
pup. In every expedition comrades.
All. the rare friendship Of boy and
a dog!
But n capricious fate separated the
pup from the boy forever. Tommy dis
appears from this chronicle. Remains
the pup.
A LOST DOG.
Detected, dropping, obsequlous, tail
furled and fearful, this pups very
manner invited the small boys hurled
brick and his tin can with pebbles in it.
Comes along boy. This pup bright
ems pcrceptibly. Something of the old
selfhood shows in him. He shifts Mt
the boys heels. The boy. imperator.
kicks ut the outcast, who deftly lodges.
The dog Is pariah--all the world against
one common. ornery. disheartened vel
low pup.
But the moods of a dog are not long
moods.
A diversion appears. A street arab
rolls ball along the sidewalk toward
another arab. HI" says the pup to
himself. there's something worth
while" With Haunting tail he bounds
after the ball. Every drop Of his
sporty dog blood is a-tingle.
The children Of the school near by
are let loose. They stream down the
street. The pup leaves of leaping in
great curves after the ball and leaps
up to the children. He would lick
their faces in high friendship. One of
the midgets is frightened, and then the
cry goes up:
MAD DOG! MAD DOGw
The children flee. The pup barks and
jumps after them in great glee. What
fun for yellow pup! How nice of the
children to scamper so and scream
with delight!
BANG!
The policeman's wicked gun cracks,
and Tommy's pup is of no more use in
this wOrld-as pup.
The moral of this tale?
oh, any old thing-the lesson Of poor
dog Tray. or of life misunderstood. or
the sting Of ingratitude, or the joyous
soul Of good woman ruined by a
mad dog cry, or any or all of these.
This is only dog story.

Humor ana Philosophy
BY DUNCAN M. SMITH
ALONE.

What's the difference II win
Or am distanced in the race,
AS a leader coming in
Or can hardly show for place?
Nothing to the world at large,
To admit 1t l am free,
If l merit q discharge.
But 1t means a heap to me.
Others may dissect my case
In calm, cold blooded tone.
Be 1t honor or disgrace.
They praise or cast a stone,
Or their shoulders they may shrug
And dismiss 1t with a sneer
Or a smile serene and Snug
If 1 happen to be near.
II I suffer and am sad,
II get the double cross,
II my schemes are to the bad.
Every deal a total loss,
Still the old world wags along
Quite contented on its way,
Seeing nothing very wrong.
Finding life serene and gay.
Clearly I must do my own
Weeping II it's done at all.
In my secret chambers groan.
Useless tits to hire hall.
And perhaps It's better thus.
If the world should pause to show
Sorrow at each private fuss,
When would It find time to got
