A Foot-kissing Knight Of CozuzaI-
bus Attacks a Methodist
Preacher i'm GEae Streets
anal SEaDs His Face.

our readers will remember that some
y weeks ago, the Roman Catholic fanatics
OF Jacksonville, Florida, used every effort to
stop a street-preacher, Claud Shafter, from
talking against popery.
Mayor Van Swearingen did himself ever
lasting credit by refusing to be party to the
sitting Of free speech.
One Of the knights of Columbus who made
himself very loud and insolent at that time
was Ben Burbridge, a foot-zisser of high
degree among the local Knights.
Ben has evidently been nursing his wrath
to keep it hot, for he has picked out a safe
man to attack. and he has attacked him.
Brave Ben initiated the example of the
Supreme Knight James A. Flaherty, who
jumped on a poor printer and poor barber,
who had no resources and were unable to
fight.
Ben Burbridge, like his Supreme coward,
Flaherty picked the man he could safely slap.
and 81apped him.
And yet, there are a good many non-foot-
kissers in Jacksonville whose faces Ben Bur
bridge will never slap.
Ben h3c0acS 20hO to slap.
The gentleman whose face the daredevil
Ben slapped is named John A. HendTy, and
he is Methodist preacher.
He has been preaching in Jacksonville for
seven years, and for four years was Presid-
ing Elder.
During all that time Rev. J. A. Hendry
was never molested, and went his peaceful
way as most clergymen do.
But here of late he has seen fit to preach
against popery, the growing and deadly men
ace to our liberties and institutions
Rev. Mr.. Hendry sees that our President
is catering to popery, that our Secretary of
State is knuclIling to it, that our Immgra-
ton laws are made to suit it, that our Army
and Navy is being surrendered to it, that our
public service is almost monopolized by it,
that our newspapers are afraid of it, and that
our politicians will do any dirty work to get
the popish vote
Rev. Mr. Hendry h12oac8 that popery is the
deadliest foe to freedom of thought, freedom
of speech, freedom Of press, and freedom Of
worship.
The very law Of popery makes it system
Of corruption, imposture, of fraud, Of greed,
Of one-man power, Of persecution and Of muir
der.
Therefore, the Rev. j. A. Hendry, IN his
oacn church, began to sound the note of warn
ing to Jacksonville, Just as Rev. W. L. Pick
ard was sounding it in Savannah.
WhereupOn this insolent foot-kisser, Bur
bridge halted the preacher in the streets,
grabbed him by the arm, and demanded
"Why in the hell are you belying the Cath
Ollie church?"
Mr. Hendry was SO astonished that he
should be assaulted and insulted in this way
by a man whom he did not know, that he
said
"You are evidently mistaken in your man.
I have never at any time abused the Catholic
church, or belied it's teachings | have made
several statements regarding this church, all
of which were fully warranted by her history,
which I will not take back, or apologize for"
What do you suppose Ben Burbridge did

most urgently demands long credit and low
interest.
Now, what State Of this Union is leading
IN this matter?
Is It Georgia, where we have had the
Grange, the Alliance, and the Union?
No, it isn't Georgia.
Is It Texas, where they have had all sorts
OF farmers organizations, paying all sorts
Of salaries to loud-voiced gentlemen who farm
the farmer?
No; it isn't Texas
IT'S NE7F. YORK!
Laws 'amessy All of our illustrious
statesmen, near statesmen, almost statesmen.
&c, have left it to a small bald-headed chap.
Governor Glynn, to put it right up to the
State legislature to quit waiting on the Fed
eral Government and on those Congressional
farmers friends.
Governor Glynn tells the New York legis-
lature that the farms of New York are being
deserted, that the population Of the country
districts is not increasing, and thai something
mast be done.
He says that the farms Of New York are
mortgaged to the amount Of one hundred MIL
lion dollars
He says that if these loans were changed
into so year, gradual payment loans. the saw
ing to those farmers would be eighty teoo MIL
lion dollars.
And he uses this illustration:
BY amortization loans l mean that system Of
loans now used i'll Europe~under which the farm
ers OF Germany France Great Britain and Italy
borroW money on their land and pay it back in
: insta1lments at easy rates Of interest.
For thousand dollar loan at 6 per cent for
fifty years German farmer pays $63.44 annually
or only $3.44 over the interest. But these small
additional sums insignificant to an American
farmer, wipe out the debt.
For loan Of $1,000 at per cent. for ten
years an American farmer pays $500 interest and
the principal at the end of the term, 81 500 all
told II the European system were available he
would pay $135.86 each year. During the ten
years he would pay only $1,35S.6S, or S214.32
less than under our present system; yet his debt
would be completely paid"
Could anything be simpler, and clearer and
more just?
Don't you realize how that system Of loans
would electrify farm life, put new life in it,
brighten the home, and keep your boys and
girls away from the Sodom and Gomorrah Of
our big cities, where the sharks get SO many
victims that the wolves do not get?
Alas! Il piped unto you, and We would not
Dance
From 1888 to 1914, is long stretch; and
it seems to me that the farmer is about the
only man who does not understand that so
long as oar epjstjng zaaos stay IN force, the
more produce he carries to market, the more
loot there IS for the robbers to diUide

general complaint on the part of coal
operators that they were unable to

an increased production of coal in the

Urge New Road as Boon to Indians.
Washington-Con of new
road into the Crow Heart country of
the Shoshone Indian reservation in
Wyoming would be the first and great
est step towards enabling the red men
to make themselves at home, and util-
ize their lands. according to a report
to Congress by Secretary Lane. The
new road is necessary, the secretary
points out. to enable the Indians to
locate on their allotments. build
houses and cultivate their lands
This road" said Secretary Lane,
will also form part of the Yellow
stone Park highway. which, When
completed, will be of great advantage
to the Indians and largely increase
their income. The few allotments in
this district, which have been culti-
waited by white men and Indians of
white blood. are very productive. The
full bloods. however from lack of
funds. have been unable to establish
themselves upon their allotments. The
present roads into the timhered area
are worn out mountain trails over
which it is practically impossible to
bring out timber"

Preside. Tex. Jan. 2.-The north
ern division OF the Mexican federal
army at Ojinaga. Mexico, with Its
eleven generals, other officers and
about 1000 soldiers, after a merciless
three days attack by General Ortega's
6 900 rebels, began fleeing in disorder
across the river into the United
States
Several hundred armed stragglers
crossed. and about 1900 are now clus-
tered on the Mexican bank of the Rio
Grande.
The ending of the Ojinaga battle. at
tended by the most horrifying scen
of dead and wounded soldiers wit
messed on the border in the present rev.
olution, was declared to have in store
only one possible result the momen-
tarlly-expected flight of the whole fed
eral army to American soil.
With line of struggling wounded
at the border to indicate the extent OF
the carnage, and deserters already ap-
pearins in numbers. Major M. N Nc
Nance. commanding the border pa
troll. made every plan in anticipation
of the flight.
Less than 500 cavalrymen, mostly
of the Fifteenth cavalry, form the pa
troL here, but they are deemed by Off
cials sufficient to handle the situation.
81 expect at any time during the
fight that the greater part of the fed
eral army. possibly 1000 or 5000. may
be forced across the river. have made
dispositions to disarm and hold. them.
If this takes place." was the message
which Major McNamee sent out.
Scores of uninjured federal desert
ers came to the river and, in defiance
of the American patrol, crossed. with
their arms. All these were disarmed
and forced back to the Mexican side
More than 200 rifles, other arms and
ammunition thus were taken from the
fugitives.
1t was impossible to learn accur-
ately the number of dead Many were
believed to have died through lack of
medical attention, as neither federals
nor rebels are equipped with any field
hospital service and the Red Cross of
ficials on this side were not permitted
to ford the river-even under a Red
Cross flag

tank steamer Oklahoma broke In two
amidships without warning Sunday
morning south of Sandy Hook and a
large number Of her crew OF more
than forty men perished.
The stern section, in which was stu
atec all the heavy machinery of the
vessel and on which were thisty-two
members of the crew, sank immedi-
ately
cued by the Hamburg-American line
steamer Bavaria, whose captain says
some of the OklahomaE men told him
they saw an open boat put away from
the wreck with eight or ten men in 1t.
They reported that the revenue cutter
Seneca had picked up one of the
oklahcma's lifeboats. which contained
the bodies OF four men. They are sup
posed to have died from exposure.
Among those who sailed on the
Oklahoma and are believed to be lost
is Captain Loring A. Gates OF Boston.
formerly commander of the steamship
Iigonier. Captain Gates was aboard
as passenger on his way to take
command OF another vessel.
The story of the disaster was con-
tanned in wireless dispatch received
by the Hamburg-American line here
from Captain Cradles of the steamer
Bavaria. which is proceeding to Bos-
ton with the eight survivors of the
tanker on board.
From the fact that all the surviv-
ors were assembled forward" said Cap
tain Porter, 81 presume that an explo-
sion took place in the after part of the
ship where all the working force in
the engineers department were quar-
tered. Here also were the ships en-
gines and other machinery. The ac-
cident must have been of a sudden ma
ture. for otherwise the men aft would
have mad ample time to have saved
their lives by rushing to the fore part
of the steamer"
