After the colored People.

We look for considerable scare
among the colored people Of this Sec
ton, for the terrible beast that has
been causing SO much alarm in New
Jersey is undoubtedly headed this
way. The creature was first heard
from in New Jersey about month
ago, when its tracks in the snow were
observed. They could be seen in a
field, and then they would suddenly
disappear. This was the source OF
much mystery until it was discovered
that the fearful beast could fly as well
as it could walk. James Harding
was the frat man to see it, and be de-
scribes it as sort of Cross between a
vampire, tiger and bovalipus. 1t
has enormous wings, long, pointed
bill. four legs armed with claws like
steel hooks, one eye in the center of
its forehead, and screeches like loco
motive whistle. A colored man by the
name of Bill Glfferson was a victim of
the go-devil, or whatever it may be
called. He was walking along a
country road, when it swooped down
upon him, carried him to the top of a
high hill, and, piercing his jugular
vein with its needle like bill, slowly
sucked his blood while it gently
famed him with its wings.
The beast was seen near Hagers.
town last week. George Jacobs was
out hunting, when he saw strange
10 king thing flying over his head.
He thcughtlessly fred at it, but the
shot ratified from its tough hide as if
he had shot against an iron plate.
The enrsged go-devil whirled around
after him and he barely escaped by
lodging into stable and slamming
the door. Its yawps were fearful 1t
is said that it laid an egg near Half
Way-an egg almost as large as a
barrel, covered with tough, parch-
eut.like shell OF yellowish color.
What alarms us is that the awful
creature is reported to have been seen
near Sharpsburg. and that it is be.
lleved to have taken up its abode IN
the cave along the cliffs known as
"Tohey's hole" about a half mile
above ShepherdstowD.
This vanplre-devil only attacks
colored people. 1t is native of Sen
egambia, where only colored people
live, and go it has never acquired
taste for white persons. 1t is seldom
seen during the day, feeding at night
only, and the strange part is that it
seems to prefer colored IN to colored
women, though it attacks the latter at
times. II never gets after children,
unless very hungry, as they do not
have sufficient blood to satisfy it.
The latest report is that the govern.
ment intends to send troop of United
States soldiers and Gatllng gun to
Shepherdstown, with the hope that
tuey can kill the dreadful monster.
The Smithsonian Institute, however,
wishes to capture 1t alive.
Latest-The monster was seen last
night by Norfolk & Western engl-
neer, near Antietsm Station. 1t was
flying bout fifty feet from the ground,
and 1t appeared to him to be about
the size of large horse.

All Physicians

Must prescribe some Of the In
gradients that are contained In
Hoods Sarsaparilla for all trou-
bIes Of the blood, stomach, kid
neys and liver.
They include sarsaparilla, stillingia,
yellow dock, gentian, wild cherry bark,
mandrake, dandeGon, juniper berries,
pipsissewa, etc.
The combination and proportions are
our own formula and give power to cure
beyond the reach of any other prescrip-
ton or substitute. That's why it is
wise to get Hoods and only Hoods.

of the court permit. But here again
the law carefully provides that no
injunction or other process shall is
sue to compel an employe to work
against his will. So that the award
whilst perfectly binding on the en-
ployer is only morally so on the em-
ploye. The act next says that en-
ployes dissatisfied with the award
shall not by reason OF such dissat-
isfaction" quit the service within
three months without 80 days notice.
The employer dissatisfied with the
award is forbidden to discharge en-
ployes within three months because
OF such dissatisfaction without so
days notice. The law continues the
effect of the award during one year.
The act distinctly and in terms
Gath sectlon) limits the right of eth
er party to take the controversy in
to court except for matter of Law
apparent on the record" Upon
such questions alone Is any appeal
to court given. No appeal therefore
lies on questions Of fact. on Ques-
lions of the reasonableness of wages
OF Of any of the terms Of service. The
questions of law which give the right
to either party to appeal to the
courts are such as: that the arbi-
traitors did not hear the parties; or
that they did not take an oath
as the statute requires. Clearly this
very restricted right to appeal to the
courts is not important or material.

SCOPE OF ERDNrAN Law
Act Does Not Provide Compulsory
Arbitration.

Act Does Not Provide Compulsory
Arbitration.
In view Of misapprehension as to
the scope and effect OF the national
arbitration law commonly called the
'Eerdman act" brief statement
OF the provisions Of that act seems
called for.
The act does not. as indeed 1t could
not. provide compulsory arbitration;
but 1t does purport. and was intend
ed to provide machinery for fair
settlement by arbitration OF all dis
putes between a railway company and
its employees, where both consent to
arbitrate.
The Law was passed by congress
June 1, 1908. and it's material pro-
visions are below stated.
Whenever a controversy arises
concerning wages. hours Of labor or
conditions of employment, serious
ly interrupting or threatening to in
terrupt the business of the carrier.
the chairman Of the interstate COM
merce commission and the commits
sloner OF labor are required, upon
request of either the carrier or the
employees, to use their best efforts,
BY mediation and Cancellation, ami
cably to settle the same.
The next section of the law says
that II their mediation fails the con-
troveFsy may be settled by arhitra-
tion mote that this requires consent
OF both parties), that the carrier
shall select one arbitrator. the labor
Organization one. and the two thus
chosen shall select a third; IL the
irst two arbltrators fail to select
third within ave days he Is to be
chosen by the commissioners above
mentioned. A majority Of the board
thus chosen Is empowered to settle
the dispute, The board Is required
by the next section OF the Law to
commence It's hearings within 10
days and to make an award within
so days. The act provides that pend
Ing the arbitration the status before
existing shall not be changed. but
provided that no employees shall be
compelled to render personal service
without his consent. The award and
evidence taken Is required to be
filed in the circuit court OF the Unit
ed States.
The law says this award shall be
tinal and conclusive upon both par.
ties, unless set aside for error Of
law apparent on the record" The
law next says that the award shall
be faithfully carried out BY the par
ties and that q may be enforced by
the court. IN 50 far as the powers
