Half Of Mob of One Thousand

Coatesville. Pa, Aug 13.-Zaeharia
walker, a negro desperate, was carried
on a col from the hospital here tonight
and burned to crisp by frenzied mob
The negro, who last night shot and killed
Edward Rice, a special policeman Of the
Worth iron mills, was first dragged to
the scene Of the shooting. begging pite-
ously for mercy.
He had been arrested by a posse late
this afternoon after a search which had
stirred the countryside. The posse
finally found him hiding in cherry
tree. The negro, with the last bullet
in his revolver, shot himself in the
mouth, falling from the tree. He was
removed to the hospital and placed I'M
der guard.
A few minutes after 9 o clock a crowd
numbering almost 1000 persons APP
peared at the hospital. The leaders we're
denied admission, but they quickly
smashed the window frames and crawled
through into the corridor. When the
negro was first taken to the hospital he
was strapped down in order to prevent
his escape. The mob, seeing this, gath
cred up the bed and, placing il on the
shoulders OF four men, started for the
country. When half mile from the
hospital they entered a field and quick
ly gathering up pile of dry grass and
weeds, placed the bed containing their
victim upon it. A match was applied
and the flames shotu quickly, entirely
enshrouding the screaming victim. That
not a vestige of the murderer be left,
the mob tore down the fence along the
road and piled the rails upon the burn
ing negro.

DUST DEALS IN DEATH.
Consumption Spreads in Dusty
Trades.

A warning against the dangers Of dus
was issued in statement made by tn,
National Association for the Study anG
Prevention Of tuberculosis, in which il
is shown that the percentage Of death.
caused by tuberculosis in dusty trades is
more than double that of all employed
men in the registration area Of the I'm
tied States.
As . result OF the dangers from con-
sumption to those exposed to various
forms of dust, and at the request OF
the National Association, the United
States Government has recently APP
pointed a commission to work in coop
Grafton with State authorities in making
an investigation into the conditions of
the metal mining industries in the I'm
ted States, with special reference to dis
eases Of the lungs. The work Of the
commission engaged in this special task
viii follow lines somewhat similar to
those worked out by the Royal Conn
mission OF Australia, whose report was
recently received in this country.
'Dusts are Of three kinds" says the
National Association; factory, street
and house dusts. The statement re-
fers to the results obtained through in
vestigations made for the Bureau Of La
Dor, by Frederick L. Hoffman. While
among males generally in the registra-
ton area of the United States. 14.5 per
cent of all deaths are from consump-
ton, the mortality among grinders
from this disease is 1872 per cent, and
in hardly any of the dusty trades is it
below 25 per cent. The percentage of
deaths from tuberculosis among those
exposed to metallic dust is SO. 8 per cent;
to mineral dust, 2S.S per cent; to mixed
animal and other forms of dust, 1921
per cent; to street dust, 25.5 per cent;
and to organic, or dust coming from
the articles being manufactured, % per
cent.
The statement speaks also of the dan
gers from house dust, especially in rooms
that are not well ventilated The Asso-
citation warns against dry sweeping, and
against the use of the feather buster, or
other devices that scatter, but do not
take up the dust
Since the ordinary dust blown about
in the streets is impregnated with dis
ease germs, the National Association
urges the adoption OF methods that will
prevent the further dissemination of
such bacilli. 1t also urges for the COM
ng months of fall and winter, more
open windows and more fresh air in
house, shop and schoolroom.

1T MIGHT BE

Verify, verify, l say unto you, as
certainly as there is maternal instinct

The spring of 1911 will bring, as other
springs have, a removal of carpets a

Please, Mr. Man, when you go home
some night from work, tired, too, per-
haps. for no one stands work quite so
well when the vernal season, with its
dangerous influence is here; please,
Mr.. Man, be very patient with Mrs.
Woman If she doesn't have her table
set in quite as dainty style as usual;
please, Mr.. Man, don't make any un-
pleasant remarks about dinner if it is
burned, and then, again, please, Mr..
Man, don't swear if you stumble over
rolls of carpet lying on the uncovered
floor, or if, when you go into your
room, you have to hunt for the bed
which is no longer i'm the corner in
which you have been accustomed to
+ find it.
For, Mr.. Man, if you do get cross
