NEGRO RAPIsT HANGED.

Mansfield Enterprise: On Saturday
evening last a negro by the name of
Simmie Rochelle was hanged by a mob
at Shreveport He had attempted to
rape a z-year-old child, and the mob
took him away from the officers and
hanged him to a railroad bridge near
the K. C. S. shops. He was positively
identified, and the officers were. over
powered and the brute promptly hanged.
This was the way to do it, in open day
light, and all good men will approve the
course of the people. The officers put
up a strong bluff to save the negro, but
in their hearts they were evidently in
sympathy with the people. This was no
mob, but simply an outraged people en-
forcing their fundamental right to pro-
tect their homes and their children. All
good men will say amen, and all talk
about letting the law take its course IN
such cases is sentimental nonsense, and
even the man who talks that way don't
mean what he says Let us be perfectly
candid with ourselves and the whole
world, and let it be known that such
outrages mean sure death to every cul-
Eprit.

BIG TRAFFIC IN WOMEN
S. S. Mcclure Says Duty of Publicists
Is Clear.

New York, Nov 2o-That the n1aga-
zines of this country have their work
laid out for them in helping to solve
the more pressing problems that con-
front the people is the opinion of S. S.
Mcclure of McClure's Magazine, ex-
pressed in lecture totay at the Hudson
theater before the League of Political
Education. Mr.. Mcclure also told of
the vicissitudes that followed him and
his associates before success crowned
their efforts at magazine making.
At the present time there are some
grave questions, he said. awaiting solu
ton, the consideration of which comes
within the function of the magazine.
Among these he named conservation of
natural resources, the enactment of laws
to cover the changes in the conditions
of our national life brought about by
the commercial, industrial and financial
development of the last hundred years,
municipal government, immigration and
the white slave traffic.
He gave more time to the last named
subject than to any of the others. In
cidentally he declared THE public has
no idea of the enormity and vastness of
the traffic When you reflect that there
are in this city 10000 men who have no
other business than to ensnare young
girls you can get some idea of its ex-
tent
This condition of affairs is due, he
said, to rotten municipal government
and the connivance of the police.
Mr.. Mcclure as prelude to his lee
ture told of various experiences, begin
ming with the editorship of his college
paper, before he finally became sue
cessful magazine publisher.

IsIDORE NEWMAN.

On Tuesday, November 80, Isidore
Newman died at his home in New Or
leans. In referring to his death the
Picayune says:
The death yesterday. after an illness
of some duration, of Isidore Newman,
one of the most prominent business men
of New Orleans, inficts a serious loss
on this city. Mr. Newman was one OF
New Orleans most wealthy citizens,
but his money was. not laid away to
rust in idleness or breed interest. It
was kept in every useful channel of
business activity and of benefaction
Mr.. Newman was great builder-up of
the city and developer of its resources.
He was largely instrumental in organ
izing our magnificent street railway
system and in the construction of the
great Maison Blanche and Audubon
buildings and in the reconstruction Of
the Touro Infirtnary, one of the most
extensive and perfectly arranged and
appointed hospitals ever maintained by
private charity

DR.. MAJORS GETS NOTHING
FOR HIS LOSS.

Mansfield Enterprise: On Monday
last the Supreme Court render ID de-
cision reversing the decision of the
lower court, which gave DR.. w. A. Ma
bors of this place judgment for about
$4,000 against the Commercial Union
Insurance Company, for the loss of his
residence at Naborton It seems that
DIR. Nabors carried his insurance in the
Royal Insurance Company, but that
when he moved out of the residence and
came to town, the Royal instructed its
agent to cancel the policy, which he did,
and wrote another in the Commercial
Union. 1t seems that the last named
policy had never been delivered to the
doctor at the time of the FIRE, and the
company set up in defense that it had
no knowledge that such a policy had
been written. Under these allegations
Judge Sorrelle decided in favor of DR..
Nabors, but the Supreme Court re-
versed the judgment and DR.. Majors
gets nothing for his loss.

CITY ATTORNEY BUTLER
Declines to Accept an Advance in Sal
ary-His Plea for Charity.

It appears that through inadvertence
letter from City Attorney Butler was
not read at the Councils meeting Tues
day as he had anticipated, and this let
ter therefore is given publicity through
the press. This aetioas of Mr.. Butler
will be commended BY iii good citizens.
1t is dictated in the spirit which appeals
to the best in men. If he were sordidly
inclined, he would insist on being paid
the amount of his salary, increased from
$I2oo to $I5oo per year
Unwittingly, perhaps, the finance COM
mittee of the Council cit off appropria-
tions for charities and increased the
salaries of officials. OF this number is
the street commissioner whose compen-
sation is fixed by the charter at $1,000,
but he is to be made Superintendent of
the city stables for which he is to re-
ceive as budgeted an additional $500.
And there is an appropriation of $1,000
for an assistant street commissioner,
which has no warrant in law.
If it is intended to reward the faith
full, this should not be sought through
the decrease of the charities.
When the finance committee struck at
the charities and raised the salaries of
officials, they aroused a sentiment of
popular disapproval which is being
manifested in no uncertain sound.
This action of Mr. Butler in declining
to accept an increase Of salary to the
detrinent of the charities is in keeping
with his inclinatio1s of benevolence.
His action, we repeat, Is commendable
and will add to his long list of friends.
Here follows the letter
Shreveport, La, Nov. 80, 1900

WORKING UNDER COVER
Will the Constitution Be Amended as
Desired by Governor Sanders?

The True Democrat: We had sup
posed that the scheme, suggested at a
banquet some months ago, of setting
aside the constitutional provision that
the Governor can not s6cceed himself,
had died a-borning so vigorous was the
immediate onslaught upon it, but the
Times Democrat of Sunday very
strongly asserts that the scheme is
neither dead nor sleeping but very much
alive, working under cover, it is true,
but is no less alive for that reason. The
scheme is to present the matter to the
Legislature, and disarm the scruples of
members of that body-should there be
any-by suggesting to them that they
are not usurping any powers that be-
long to the people, but are simply re
turning to the latter their right to de-
eide whether Article 63 of the Consti-
tuition shall be repealed or not The
schemers we'll understand how careless
the great body of voters is upon ques-
tons pertaining to constitutional amend
mer1ts or changes, and how the chances
are all in favor of the vote, by over
sight, being favorable to their project.
They will therefore first lull the uneasy
consciences of the legislators, and then
trust to the voters to do the rest.
But we do not believe that the voters

0VER-ELATED. AS USUAL.

In the defeat of the prohibition con-
held in Alabama on Monday, the whis-
key men are jubilating beyond ra-
=tiona1 degree. While the result is dis
appointing to the men who favored and
advocated the amendment, there. is no
warrant which can justify the anticipa-
ton of return of the conditions which
prevailed before that State had been
aligned for prohibition.
1t appears that the issue was not con
fined strictly to the question of fixing
the prohibition amendment in the Con-
stitution Of the State of Alabama, but
was more or less diverted to personal
and local politics.
The majority opposed to the prohibi-
ton amendment being fixed in the Con-
stitution is about 22,ooo. Of this mum
Der are men who are the strongest OPP
.ponents of the saloon and the liquor
traffic, who believed it would be mis-
take to embody the amendment in the
State Constitution, and therefore they
did not sustain it.
The purpose of the amendment was
to relieve the State of the continued
agitation by having it embodied in the
Constitution.
In their elatiorl the saloon and the
liquor interests presume that this de-
feat of the prohibition amendment is an
indication of change of the sentiment
of the people in the State who have
voted the saloon from Alabama, but
their reckoning in this, as in other in
stances, will lead to their disappoint-

issue never goes backward. It has fire.

Especial to The Sentinel. ]

Trinidad, Colo, Aug. 2S.-A SEN
sation was created here yesterday by
the arrest of J. Vincente Vigil. former

of this section, on charge of having
aided Leandro Martinez and others
in the desperate attempt of Saturday,
August IA 10 steal the pay roll funds
of the Victoria merican Fuel com
pany while the money was being
taken overland from this city to Gray
Creek
The charges against the former
commissioner are based on evidence
that horse owned by Vigil was rid
den away from the scene of the at
tempted holdup by two of the bandits,
and was later found in elump of
bushes near FL Moro SIS
Other circumstantial evidence is
that the rifle found in the possession
of Martinez at the time of his arrest
was the property of Isaac Amador,
one of the representatives of this dis
trict, the rifle having been borrowed
by Vigil Vigil admits that it was
his horse and that it was Amador' S
