he could only humble that his sister
had killed his wife.
The mob became furious at this
and it was hard work to keep them
off Salzner long enough to give him
chance to pray. The mob finally sub
sided and a short religious service
was held, after which he was strung
up, the rope being placed over a tele-
graph pole at Twenty-first and Wash
ington streets.
The mob found some difficulty in
breaking the cage, as it was an all
steel structure, but after half-hour
of telling blows upon the door, it
gave way and Salzner was secured.
The mob rushed him out of the back
door of the Jail. which is in the base
ment of the court house, around the
building, through the yard and out
into Washington avenue and up to
Twenty-frst street, which is promi-
nent corner and has public square.
He cried and begged piteously for
his life but was met by cries and
blows from the mob.
When Salzner was asked for his
last statement, stranger in the
crowd stepped forward and said he
believed Salzner was innocent, where
upon the mob fell upon him, kicked
him and finally knocked him down
and it was only the pleas of cooler
heads that saved his life. He was
compelled to beg mercy of the mob,
and announced in a loud voice that
Salzzner should be lynched, after
which he was driven from the mob
and all attention was given to Salz-
ner. After Salzner was hanged and
while the body was being riddled
with bullets the rope broke and the
body fell to the ground, where it now
lies. the mob going away and leaving
it.
Salzner was born and reared here.
He had been married about two
years last July when his wife was
found at her home with her skull
fractured. A bloody axe was found
under the bed. Two babies were
playing in the mothers blood. Salz-
ner was found at the home Of his
mother, where he often slept at night.
Before Mrs. Salzner died, she recov-
cred enough to accuse her husband OF
attacking her.
Feeling against him had been bit
ter, and tonight after the lynching Of
James, when some one suggested
Salzner, the mob rushed for the
county Jail, got Salzner and lynched
him.
Search for the negro, Alexander,
supposed accomplice Of James in
the Pelley murder, continues.

More Money Returned.

The dispensary commission has re-
covered $4,000 more in conscience
money from two whiskey concerns
doing business with the State, one
nine thousand and the other five
hundred. The money is in bank, but
the names of the firms are not given
pending some final adjustments.
This makes $4,000 altogether re-
covered in this way and Attorney
Fielder said to-day there would be
between 100000 and s150,000
more coming. This is in addition to
the amounts disallowed on the $780,

LION CLAWED LITTLE GIRL.
Exciting Incident on the Carnival
Grounds at Florence.

Florence, Nov. 10.-An incident
that created more excitement than
damage occurred on the carnival
grounds last night about 10 o'clock.
While the animal trainer was
bringing one of their baby lions to
the front Of the stage for the pur-
pose Of exhibiting it free, the beast
attacked a little girl and fastened its
claws into the child's clothing. For
tunately the trainer managed to
break the lions hold before 1t had
time to hurt the child. The child's
dress was torn a little by the flesh
wound.
The incident gave the large crowd
of onlookers terrible fright, especi-
ally the mothers, but the manage
ment apologized very promptly and
they will be more careful with their
baby lion hereafter.

Lynching Threatened.

Cairo, ILL.,, Nov. 10.-Because of
reports that an organized effort
would be made tonight to lynch Will
James, a negro suspected of muir
dering Miss Annie Pelley, shop girl,
the prisoner tonight was placed in the
steel cage in the county Jail, sur
rounded by a strong guard of police
men and deputy sheriffs. Many per-
sons arrived to-day from nearby
Illinois and Kentucky towns and the
police feared that many of these
wanted to lynch the negro. Later
James was secretly taken out of
Cairo in a train tonight. It is prob
able he will be put in the Murphress-
boro Jail.
Before daylight to-day Chief Of
Police Egan twice dispersed crowds
of men and boys who had started to-
wards the city Jail. In one case he
tore a mask from the face Of a man
who seemed to be leader of the
gathering and then prevailed upon
the others to disperse, pleading that
the evidence against James was only
circumstantial.
Most citizens, after an outburst OF
indignation, tonight were ready to
let the law take it's course. For this
reason it was thought that the situ-
alton would be controlled.
James, who is known as "Froggy'
because of his facial resemblance to
that animal, was ''sweated" by the
police to-day. While all the circum-
stances point to him as the slayer of
Miss Pelley, including the action OF
bloodhounds, which went from the
alley where Miss Pelley's body was
found to several places where James
had been on the night Of the murder,
the prisoner refused to confess.

Bull, which arrived to-day from Pro-
greso, Mexico, proved successful in

a mild form. Six great waterspouts
reared themselves out of the sea,
dangerously near the steamer, but

Cairo, ILL.,, Nov. 10.-A long dis
tance telephone message from Don
COLA, ILL.,, said that after James was
taken off the train there by the sher-
if he was rushed into the woods by
the sheriff, his deputy and one other
man. Dongola is 10 miles from
Anna, where a mob was waiting the
arrival of the train.
AS time passed and the people
learned that the negro had been
spirited away they became more ex-
cited. The crowd around the Jail
yelled in derision and open threats
against James were made.

Newspapers vs.. BilIbOards.

If a member of your family should
die, would you wish the obituary
printed on a bill board, opera pro
gram or curtain! Would you care
to have the announcement of your
marriage made public through the
same channel? Suppose there was
no other medium for the dissemina-
ton of news. You would have to
build quite a board fence to display
the attractions of every church fes-
tival, school picnic and other enter
tainments for the benefit of charita-
BILE institutions that are published
free b. the local newspaper. You
readily agree that the newspaper is
the proper medium to boost every en-
terprise for the public benefit. yet a
great many spend good hard money
placing their ads on programs. cur
tains. bill boards. fences, etc, and
bring their charity copy around to
the printer for complimentary inser-
ton. If the fences. directories. cur
tains. etc, are such result pullers
why not exploit the necessity of an
addition to schoO buildings, the need
for Better roads, and in fact use
these n.ediums for the upbuilding of
thee county and town in general Use

The TruthfulncSS and Untruthful-
ness of the Camera

The camera, so far from being orig
inally truthful, is consummately un-
truthful. 1t seizes hold of some I'M
essential something, perhaps,
that the human eye would not OBJ
serve at all-and exaggerates it un-
til it seems to be essential and pre-
dominating On the other hand,
some essential detail. some delicate
beauty of proportion, it fails to reg
lister duly.
And when We speak of the camera
we do not necessarily mean the light
of heaven passing through a lens
The lens may be accurate, the image
on the ground-glass be accurate, but
the final picture is, and must be, the
result of processes. To this picture
all the sun does is to throw the image
ilself-the representation OF the crea-
ture or scene that stood in front of
the lens being lost forever 1t is
the business of the photographer to
recall that image There, in word,
is the whole art Of photography
And photography is an art, be
cause it represents facts and can Sc
lect them Where il falls short of
art in it lack of invention, and its
dependence for beauty upon the beau
ty of the facts represented When,
granting these canOns, Photography
fails adequately to represent beauty,
it fails owing TO the unsklfulness of
the artist, because he does not under
stand the arrangement and juXtapo-
sition of light values, because he can
not select, because he cannot elimi-
nate Why, too, should it be denied
that his photograph of beauty, wheth
er of landscape or of flesh, should not
be the result of the successful ex-
preston of the artists emotions? A
beautiful woman beautifully rendered
is a work of beauty and work of
art 1t must, to be perfect, have feel
ing and quality, and that is what the
eleven perfect photographs of eleven
perfect women taken by eleven mas
ter photographers and reproduced in
color in the January Strand each pos
sesses.

The only other matters brought be

The market revenue at present

In his report, Marshal Crixell sug-

men who now maintain peace at or
near the market be dispensed with

the salaries of two mounted men
one for the district vest of the post
office from the rice mill TO the river,
and the other for the district east OF
the post office, these to replace the
two unmOunted officers who nov pa

asked for authority to suspend any
officer for a violation of the police
rules and for permission to swear in
special officers when occasion de-
manded without waiting for the con

The report was referred to the pO-
lice committee by Mayor Combe who
praised the city marshal for the good
work he was doing and expressed the

litical economy at Bryn Mawr Col
Iege, and in 1883 went to Wesleyan
University. He returned to Prince
