Criticises Northetn Negro.

Washington, Special. "Thinty
cents" is what W. E. Stewart, a
negro financial agent of the Arkan-
sas Baptist College, at Little Rock,
Ark, said he had gotten from an
appeal to the Colored Preachers ALI
ance of Washington, for assistance
for his college. Stewart came to
Washington, it is said, to attend the
memorial services for Rev. George
W. Lee, pastor of a Vermont avenue
church, and during a meeting Of ne
gro preachers was asked to make a
speech. He told of the condition of
the negro race in the South and said
the negro had many wnite friends
there, as in the North. He protested
against negroes condemning Southern
white people because of sporadic in
cidents like the recent ~lynchings at
Palestine. Texas. He concluded with
his appeal for funds for his college.
"My appeal resulted in a donation
of 80 cents" Stewart said. "If this
is a measure of the sympathy felt
by the negroes, of the North for the
negroes Of the South, I say they had
better attend to their own business
instead of sending kilograms to Gov
ernors and sheriffs of the Southern
States expressing their indignation at
the lyncling Of negroes. Their reso.
buttons of sympathy are meaningless
to u.s."

found guilty of voluntary manslaugh-

end of his trial for stabbing James

Bessinger wore a Confederate cross
of honor in court during his trial. No
objection was made to this, and Judge
Charlton, in sentencing Bessinger to
two years in the penitentiary, said in
regard to it:
81 do not like to see a veteran
wearing a Cross of Honor in court
when he is OH trial for a crime. You
could have worn it for only one pur-
pose. to work upon the prejudice of
The jury. Practices Of this nature
would tend to make the Confederate
badge a common thing"
BcssinGer. and Payne formerly were
partners in a grocery business. They
quarreled over money, and Bessinger

w. Cooper died here Friday, his
death being remarkable because It
occurred in his twenty-ninth year.
That was the age at which his
father and eight of his father brotls
ers all died. Illness, and not acct
dents, were the cause Of these
deaths. Cooper became uneasy as
his tweslty-ninth year approached its
half way mark, a ~presentment SEEM
ed to come to him and he SAID. s,.eaS-
ing of his thiciieth birthday next
January:
eff I can on.v live until then, why,

A short time ago when Cooper was
taken sick with typhoid, the inevi-
table brooding over the fate of his
father and his mcles hastened the
progress Of the disease. He died
while his near relatives were too far
away to be summoned to his bedside.
His mother, Mrs. M. j. Cooper,
has returned from Europe on the
steamer St. Paul, landing in New
York, and his ~sitser, Miss katherine
Cooper, is IN Paris. Cooper was
prominent here, a member of the
Capitol City Club and connected with
a large cotton firm. He was born in

theory held by the government geo

limestone, which underlies the entire

WOMAN DIES in PRISON.
Higher Court Will Declare Miss
Wardlaw's Guilt CT Innocence.

Newark, N. j., Specialists Vir-
ginia Wardlaw, who, with her two
sisters. is indicted for the murder of
Mrs. Ocey Wardlaw Martin Snead,
died here in the house of detention.
Her death. it is said, will materially
affect the prosecution of liner two
sisters. General decline is given as
bhe cause of death. Miss Wardlaw
was at one time a resident of Tennes-
see.
The fate of the aged woman in this
respect paralleled that Of her alleged
victim. for doctors who examined
0cey Snead before her death said her
ailments were all due to lack of nour-
ishment. ,
In the opinion of Jail attendants,
Miss Wardlaw deliberately starved
herself to death, This has revived ru-
mors circulated at the time CT Ocey
Snead's death when the history Of
the mysterious household was under
investigation that a suicide pact ex-
listed between Miss Wardlaw and her
niece.
When she was removed from jail
there was found in the cell she oc-
cupied a quantity of.stale>foodew which
the prisoner had concealed.
At the aged woman's bedside when
she died were her sister, Mrs. Rich
ard Pringle, and her brother, the Rev.
Albert Wardlaw, both of Christians
burg, Va. But her other sisters, Miss
Caroline B. Martin and Mrs. Mary w.
Snead, Jointly indicted with her, we're
IN their cell as she expired.
What effect the death of Virginia
Wardlaw will have on the fate Of her
sisters is; still to be determined. She
was the dominating influence of tie
strange household, and predictions
are made that Mrs. Martin and
Mrs. Snead may never be brought to
trial.
