too much water was coming down
his ditch, he concluded to go up
to his intake, a hundred yards
above the house and close the head
gate. The little boy less than two
years old started to follow, but the
father told him to go back and
shut the yard gate which he did
while the father went on about his
work. After getting to the intake
he noticed the little boy out in the
street, but supposed he was being
looked after by the folks at the
house, however, he hurried back,
but on his arrival he found his
child had disappeared and after a
hurried inquiry nothing was seen
or known of him, he went down
the stream about a hundred yards
and found his child in the stream
lodged against a wire fence The
child was dead and could be re-
vived.
The funeral took place from the
residence this afternoon at $50,
conducted by Rev. Harris OF Gle

millions of little tapers Will shed
thelr light in the Jewish homes and
9ynagogues the world over at the
celebration Of the Feast of Lights.
winch will begin December 10, and
last for eight days The Feast Of
lights, also known as Hanukah and
the Feast of the Maccabees, commem-
crates the emancipation of the Jews
by the Maccabees after struggle of
- years against the Seleucid kings
Of Syria.
In 168 B. c., three years before
the institution of Hanukah, Antioch
us Epiphanes set up an idol in the
temple and commanded the Jews to
worship it. The Jews looked upon
the momentary triumph of the Syrian
ta1th as a degradation and O. failure
or their people in their religious ide-
al.
The DreSent-day celebration con-
slSts of the kindling of tapers-one
on the first day, two on the second ,
ami so on up to eight on the last day.
Ihc lights are generally kindied by
the elders Of the house with appro-
PIRATE benedictions. In the syna-
gogues "Hallel," song Of praise and
rejoicing, is sung and O. prayer Is re-
cited, telling the historic basis of the
feast.

a LAY SERMON.

The formation of a law and order
league, at Cincinnati, to protect col
ored boys and girls, calls to mird the
necessity of some such organization
here, where conditions are but little
better and are growing worse.

A RACE TRAITOR

In assembling and passing resolu.
tions condemning the Wheeling In
) telligencer for it's advocacy of Jim
Grow measure, the people Of Hunt
ington took step which The Advo-
cate recommends to other commune
ties.
, Some Of our readers have intima-
ted that we are unduly alarmed, that
we have made a mountain out of a
mole hill, but these have neither had
the benefit Of The Advocates source
of information, nor do they suspect
the Negroes who are largely respon-
sible for this agitation.
The writer had an opportunity,
last week, to read a letter from one
Of our senator's, in which he promised
to exert his influence against the
passage of any measure discrimina-
tory to the Negro Continuing, he
said that certain very prominent
Negro of West Virginia, whose name
is withheld for the present, had call
of the young Negro to surrender his
seat to ladies. Reading between the
lines, it is very evident to the aver
age mind that our colored friend had
been offering up his race as a sacri-
fee for his own salvation or promo
ton.
There are but few who would sus-
pect this man of such perfidy, so
high has he been held in the estima-
ton Of his fellows, SO loud has been
his condemnation Of the very course
which he himself is now pursuing.
Then, there are a few other syco-
plants Of lesser note, who either
through ignorance or for the sake of
notCriety, are forwarding the jim
Crow movement by their inconsider-
ate remarks.
They, like the gentleman from
Wheeling, and the unnamed, are
thought to voice the wishes of the
race. 1t is to counteract the false
impression that our people must be
outspoken, must meet in assemblies
and protest its unequivocal terms

Unusual memories

II *
! 4he Of the most peculiar features
IL insanity is that occasionally one
faculty, either sight, hearing, smell,
TASTE, or touch. is extraordinarily
acute, Certain insane persons, insen-
! s1ble to every other impression, have
4 pronounced taste for music, and
] can repeat with accuracy an air
| which they may have heard but once.
Others have recollection Of form
| and color, and display an aptitude
! for drawing, while more frequently
one may meet with all inmate Of an
| asylum who has o. special memory
| Tor figures, dates, proper names, and
| words generally. ..:
There is a case ON record, for In
stance, of an imbecile who, at 81,
had such an extraordinary memory
that he could solve the most difficult
problems in arithmetic and algebra,
and repeat word for word long poems
after one hearing or reading them.
In another case boy OF IA, with
defective brain, who had the great
est difficulty in learning to read,
could, IL allowed two or three min
uteS to run over a page printed in q
tions of (which he was ignorant, re-
peat the words from memory as cor
rectly as if the book had been lying
before him.
Recalls Burials.
Very curious was the cause of an
other man, q deVout cnurchgoer, who
could remember the day when every
person. had been buried in the parish
for: IS $years, and could repeat, with
unVarying accuracy, the name and
age of the deceased and mourners at
the funeral. And yet he was com
plete fool, and outside the line Of
burials he had not one idea, and
could not give an intelligent reply to
a single question, or even be trusted
to feed himself.
At Earlswood Asylum, England,
they. have records Of imbeciles who
could not only repeat accurately a
page or more Of any book which had
been read years before, even though
it was a book they did not under-
stand in the least, but also of an in
sane person who could repeat back
wards what he had just read.
Another curious case is that of an
imebcile who, in the first place, new
er failed ,. to go to church, and who
on reachEng home could repeat the
sermon word by word, saying, Here
the. minsietroruc -
the minister coughed here he stop
pedSto klQw his nose,, 'anG SO on"
. 81 <ieNg6, Knows the Bible.
IN another case an imbecile knew
the Bible so perfectly that, if you
asked him where such and such a
verse was to be found, he could tell
witbpyhs hesitation and repeat the
chapter.

THE, BROWNSVILLE INCIDENT.

, (t'rom Charleston Maul -.
The New York World is rather Sc
we're in it's conclusions, on the Presi
dents final message about the
Brownsville incident, but the evil
dence would seem to Indicate that
the World is not far from wrong in
the following:
After two years of Investigation
backed by all the Executive power
and resources of the National Gov
eminent, all the direct evidence oh.
tanned by Mr.. Roosevelt in the
Brownsville case is based On the al
legged confession of a private in Com
pany B, which was obtained By a de-
tective who lis illiterate and had to
depend on MS memory for details. "
Ihereupon Mr.. Roosevelt sends a
message to the Senate declaring:
1T appears that almost all the
members of Company B must have
been actively concerned in the shoot
ing, either to the extent of being
participants or to the extent of vir-
tually encouraging those who were
participants. AS to Companies c and
ID, there can be no. question that
practically every man of them must
have had knowledge that the shoot
ing was done by some of the soldiers
of B. Troop, and possibly by" one or
two others in one of the other
troops 49,. -
The World doubts if the average
Southern jury would convict an ordi-
nary reputable negro of chicken
stealing on the kind of evidence that
Mr.. Roosevelt presents as conclusive.
But even accepting Conyers's alleged
confession as truthful in every detail,
it is plain that the President OF the
United States has been guilty of a
most hideous injustice in. Furnishing
innocent and guilty alike. 49,.
No criminal proceedings have been
instituted against any of the men
who. are alleged to- have been guilty,
and the only reparation Mr.. Roose-
welt offers to the innocent is that
they shall be reinstated provided
they prove their innocence and help
Ink the responsibility upon those
who did-&he shooting: ~"s"''',s-',"'
Certainly the United States Sen
ate, if it has any regard for law and
justice, cannot let this case rest
where Mr.. Roosevelt leaves it. -,

Ing and true could be added. And
Just as there Is one sense which Us
sometimes wonderfully acute in per-
sons OF weak intellect, so, In the case
of blind people, the sehse of. smell or
hearing is OFTEN very keen.
One of the most remarkable cases.
on record was that Of Julia Brace, a
female deaf and blind mute, who
could distinguish brothers and sisters
by smell, and who recognized any
body she had met before by the same

TIE OPERATORS AND MINERS.

All Wage-earnerS must SympathlZe
with the miners of the Kanawha coal
field in their opposition to any re-
duction in the present wage scale.
The highest wage scale is too lit
tie compensation for the hazardous
work they do. Too much can not be
paid them for their daily risk Of life
and limb, loss of sunshine, while at
work and the undesirable surround
ings Of their leisure hours.
But it would be we'll for them to
consider carefully before they strike;
to bear In mind the number Of
months they have been idle and their
uhpreRaredness to wage a long con-
test.
Then, too, the claims or the opera
tors are deserving of consideration
If, as they hold, they aren OF able to
compete with the non-union opera
tors and are operating at loss, they
must eventually close, unless the
miners accept a reduction. Even
then the1os to the miners would be
inconsiderable as compared with a
strike Of any duration.
AS a case in point, take the con-
troversy on Paint Creek, where II
mines employ about 500 men The
reduction will be less than cents on
the ton, or 5.55 cents more, it is
said, than is being paid on Cabin
Creek, where the mines are not or
ganized. This would make the price
for coal mining 40.55 cents a ton, in
stead Of As cents.
All things considered, it would ap-
pear as the wiser course for the min
ers to accept reduction rather than
to suffer shut down with the at
tendant ills which must arise from a
cessation of work following so close
upon long period of idleness.

ing of the executive committee that
unless sufficient money to advance
on the crop is available. even those
members of the association, who have
been benefited the most will be un-
willing to so into the pool again, be-
cause of the need OF ready money"
1t was he who suggested the inaug-
ucation of some plan whereby mem
bers of the association would be as
sured an advance of money, sufficient
to meet current needs, until the crop
was sold and the proceeds divided.
II is suggested that local banks
may be asked to set aside fund TO
be used for that purpose durlnx the
