The mutinous soldiers before they
began rioting proclaimed three ORDERS:
First. that foreigners should not be
interferred with; second, that there
should be no killing. third, that there
should be no burning.
They observed only the first, how
ever.
Not many persons were killed, but
fires were started everywhere. When
the looting was completed, the mutt
neers proceeded south, seeking other
towns and injecting other garrisons
with the spirit of rebellion.

For some reason, | don't know why,

as to face my antagonist, l addressed
few brief remarks to him; and then,
just as some one handed him a fresh

in the toe. My bullet went a little

over the parapet and rolled down near

HOW FIGHTING BOB" EVANS won
THE NATIONS ADMIRATION

When the news was flashed over the
telegraph wires quite recently, Rear
Admiral Robley d. Evans is dead"
there were few people In this big
country who did not feel sense of
personal loss, that a personal grief
had come to them.
1t has been said that we Americans
are very tickle in our hero worship;
that we are quick and liberal in our
gifts of laurel wreaths, but equally
quick and illiberal in taking them
back.
The person who wants to sustain
this indictment of us can not bring
in evidence our treatment of Admiral
Evans. Fighting Bob" became a
popular hero years ago, and a popular
hero he has remained ever since
The American people never forgot
him, never wavered in their affection
for him.
What is the reason for this loyalty?
Why have we cherished our love for
Fighting Bob, and turned the cold
shoulder to men who have been equal
ly good fighters, upon some who, as
history estimates those things, have
rendered even more valuable services
to the Nation?
Those who had the good fortune to
come in personal contact with the Ad-
miral know the answer: Fighting
Bob's personality
Admiral Evans wrote two books
"a Sailors Log" and can Admirars
Log" both published by D. Appleton
& Coin which he tells the story of
his long and varied career. For those
who did not have the luck to meet
the Admiral face to face the next best
thing is to meet him through the
pages of these books. Seldom has a
man succeeded in putting more of his
personality into "cold type"
Here are a number lof stories as
the Admiral himself has told them
each of which brings out, though some.
Characteristic of the man. And let it
be said here that in reading these two
books one realizes the truth of the
verses which Rudyard Kipling sent to
Evans:
Zogbaum draws with a pencil,
And I do things with a pen;
But you sit up in a coming tower,
Blessing eight hundred men.
To him that hath shall be given
And that's why these books are sent
To the man who has lived more stories
Than Zogbaum or / could invent.
my first distinct memory of my
self is when 1 was about four years
old. l had rather long, light-colored
curls, was sturdy in health, and wore
a blue velvet suit, with feather in
my cap for ornament Al
this time / rode from my home to the
schoolhouse every day, a distance OF
five miles; and while can recall the
way. the teacher used to thrash the
boys, first sending them to cut the
birches, l can not recall that l learn
ed anything"

Senator Ben TiIIman as a
Purifier of the Political
Atmosphere.

THE funniest spectacle that we have been
privileged to witness In many long
day, is furnished by the appearance of Ben
Tillman in the role of Cato.
Benjamin has discovered that he is
ashamed of Governor Cole Blease.
Benjamin has discovered that Blease has
besnlirched the escutcheon of South Caro-
lima.
Benjamin lopes into view as the man who
must remove the Blease stain from the South
Carolina escutcheon.
Was it Governor Blease who uttered the
fine. enrolling sentiment
"It there IS a1oy stealing going on, rant
mey share of it?"
Was it Blease who made the campaign
against free passes, was elected, and was
then caught riding on free passes?
Was it Blease to whom piano was
shipped by express under the frank which
the express company had issued to him?
Was it Blease who was sending his type
writing machine through the mail under his
crank" when the p NJ. G. stopped it, and
exposed the fraud on the Government?
Was it Blease who was caught in the act
of stealing public land?
Was it Blease who wallowed in all the filth
of the Lorimer case?
Was it Blease who voted with the Lumber
Trust the Coal Trust and the Steel Trust?
In my time, I've seen many strange things,
but | never saw anything more cheeky than
Ben Tlllman's pose as political purist.

Blalock was out of order, and any honest

Who Is This "sGirl From GeOr-
ola ?''

THE staff correspondent Of The Menace
writes up Cincinnati's "House of the
Good Shepherd" one of those hells-on-earth
that the Romish priests have established in
nearly every one of our big cities.
The story which H. George Buss tells of
the Price Hill dungeon and sweatshop is hor-
rlble enough to create an imperative demand
for the punishment of the slave-drivers in
that blouse of the Good Shepherd" and the
liberation of those half-starved and over
worked slaves.
take this paragraph from the article
One eighteen-year-old girl from Georgia pit
eously begged for her freedom, her pleas were
met with renewed cruelties. Goaded to despera-
ton one evening about five o'clock she threw her
self from third story window to the cement
walk below Both ankles were broken. She was
taken to hospital here in the city. While there
a Mortified lady visitor exclaimed at her bedside
Just think what you have done, child you have
crippled yourself for Ife-arent you sorry
now?"
What do you think her answer was? Listen:
No, indeed am not sorry! Before l would
go there for another six months I would have
every bone in my body broken"
Who is that 18-year-old "girl from
Georgia."
BY her maddened leap from the Bird story
window, she tragically said,
'I'd rather die than stay IN, THIS HE'LL
HOLE arey longerF
She escaped with both ankles broken.
Her agony must have been very great as
she lay in the hospital; but so hideous had
been her treatment in the blouse of the
Good Shepherd" that she was not sorry to
escape, even at such fearful price. But who
IS this Georgia girl?
She must have blood kin, living in this
State, even though her father and mother be
dead
Where is the family from which an 49,
year-old young woman has strayed?
| am willing to do what | can to restore
this poor girl to her old home in Georgia.
She was lucky to escape the den which is
piously called The House of the Good
Shepherd~

The Macon Convention Gives Am
Ovation tO a Knight of
Columbus.
THE Augusta, Ga. Chronicle (Roman
Catholic) reprints the following:
(P. A. stovall in Savannah Press. J

Up. A. Stovall in Savannah Press)
The ovation of the convention was given Mr.
Joseph F. Gray when his name was read out by
the secretary as among the statehouse officers
who had been successful in the recent primary.
At first there was "a ripple of applause such as
greeted the other popular men, Tom Fielder for
instance. Then the applause continued and was
renewed. Finally it broke into cheers. This was
construed to mean that the Democracy of Georgia
repudiated the attack which had been made by
mos. r. Watson and others upon Joe Gray on
account of his religion and his associations Gray
divided with the Governor the reception of the
occasion.
1t is not true that [ attacked JOS. f. Gray
con account of his religion and his associa-
tions'
My attack was aimed, not at his relation.
but at his TREASON
The oath which he took as Knight of
Columbus disqualified him as voter, Juror;
and an office-holder.
He is oath bound to obey a FOREIGN. italian
potentate.
Immigrants landing on these shores have
to socear off just such allegiance as Joseph
Gray sa00re on.
Gray is oath-b bound never to employ. or
vote for, Protestant.
He is oath-bound to supply himself with
arms and ammunition to use them against
Protestants.
Archbishop Quigley, of Chicago, in pub
TIC statement some months ago, declared that
the Knights of Columbus were a secret MILL
to'y order, that was ready to obey any COM
mand of the italian Pope and his American
representatives.
In their great parade in Baltimore, last
year, the rifles and swords were conspicuous.
and showed up in all the newspaper pictures.
A regiment Of these incipient traitors went
to Aurora, Mo- fully armed, for the evident
purpose of intimidating The Menace.
Yet member Of this un-American and
treasonous organization has been elected to
one Of the highest and most responsible posi-
TONS
BY PROTESTANT VOTES!
And this man, with treason in his heart
and reasonable arms in his possession. was
given ovation in Stations Convention!
And it was done as slap at ''Thos. E.
Watson and others who had attacked GRAY
&C."
Very well, gentlemen The plain common
people are not blind to the way the city poll
ticians take Their slaps at Watson, after thew
have used him up to the last hour of the
campaign.
The plain common people will be heard
from concerning these "slaps,1 by and bye.

June n BY an extraordinary fatality two
gun accidents occurred within Il few hours
of each other on board the French armoured
cruiser jules Michelet during gun prntice off
Toulon. Twenty-one officers and men were
injured, and one officer, Lieutenant Guiot,
and three men have died Of their Wounds.
The accidents were apparently caused by
cartridges igniting as they were placed iG
the breech, the guns having become over
heated The first explosion occurred at $40
pm, during gun practice in the second tur-
ret. The cartridge which had Just been
placed in the gun exploded before the
breech was closed and ignited y second cart
ridge. The tuIret was instantly filed with
Il sheet Of fame. Though the clothing of
the off GERS and men was q mass Of fame
they left the turret in good order, and after
receiving first aid on hoard were taken
ashore with great difficulty owing to the
rough sea. admiral Sourrieu, commanding
the squadron, came on board shortly after
wards and ordered firing practice to be re-
stunned. The rnen obe,ed without showing
the least sign Of emotion. The second acct
dent happened about six o'clock, and was
appa, emily due to the same cause. The in
terror Of the turret was again filed with a
Sheet Of fame, and the guns crew burned.
The officers and men, as before, though
suffering terribly; left the turret one after
