northumberland Farmers Break 49,
Year Record of Old Dominion.

Heat h Svillc &. Va, August To-
Nirginia'S unblcmishcd lynching rec
ord of eighteen years standing has
been broken.
AT Lillian, northumberland County,
within few miles Of llcathSvillc,
William Page Il colorcd farm hand
recently accepted for the now national
army, last night was hanged by a
party of nearly 500 masked and
grimly determined farmers, following
an attempted assault made upon the
daughter and niece of Captain Truitt,
one OF the most prominent farmers
ON the Northern Neck.
That the aSSailant Of the young
women was unsuccessful was due en-
tircly to the presence OF mind dis
played by eighteen year old Miss
Fruit, the object of Pages attack.
She it WAS who sped to her parents
home, after outwtting the Negro. and
gave the alarm. Truitt. armed with
shotgun loaded with huckshot. was
on the trail Of the Negro within a
lew minutes, and captured him in less
than half an hour. Three hours later,
the Negroes body was dangling from
Il tree within the confines Of small
Negro settlement. and the farmers
VINO had mctcd out summary Justice
were dispensing quietly for their
homes.
the attack was made about s o'clock
IN the evening and within a stones
throw OF the Truitt residence. Miss
irHltt and her young cousin were re.
turning home. when suddenly thcv
heard a movement in the bushes he
side the road. and the burly form OF
Il Negro appeared at their horses
mead. AS the horse stopped, the Me-
gro slipped rapidly to the side of the
buggy i'll which the girls were driv-
ing.

"WE WANT THAT Niger. "

Just then group Of masked men
appeared. 1--WE want that niggcr,"
was their command. The sheriff re-
monStratod He soon saw what the
crowd meant: and the next instant
Page WAS swallowed up by the crowd
and led away to the front OF a school
house in the heart Of colorcd sci
Element. There after the prisoner
had been allowed to see his wife and
mother. the execution took place by
hanging. The crowd then dispersed.
Thcrn WAS no appeal to the gov
ornor for troops. The attack, cap
turc and lynching all occurred in four
hours. There was little time for de-
liberation. Troops could not have
reached the section for hours after
wards.
The last lynching in Virginia was
on March 81, 1900, during the admin
istration Of Governor J. IIogc Tyler,
in GrccncSvillc county, near Emporia
Va. During the fire at Hopcwrll
over year ago, it was reported that
a colorcd man had been lynched for
looting burning houses but there was
no truth in the report.
On several occasions in recent years
governors have been called upon and
have sent troops to restore order and
prevent lynchings ,--Richmond, Va.

ARTISTS FAMOUS AS WRITER'S
Several of the Most Noted NoveIists
Deserted the Brush for Lit
erary Work.

Several artists of note have been
known to desert the brush for the pen,
and when they have died they have
left their mark behind them as lit
erary men, observes an exchange. Will
liam de Morgan did this. He wrote
the longest set Of novels since Dick
ems and Thackeray "ceased firing" al
though he was an old man when he
took to the pen. George du Maurier
was an artist who turned author after
making European fame with the pen
Gil as satirist of society. He sudden
ly startled the world with "Trilby,'
and set two continents comparing feet.
With him novel-writing seemed his true
forte, but ne had started too late. Ee
only enjoyed his new fame few years.
Even Thackeray tried art before he
found his true vocation, and he illus
trated several of his own books even
then. A very piquant story tells cf
ThackerGy calling on Charles Dickens
to see if ne could get the commission
to illustrate one of his earlier novels.
He had not written vanity Fair
then!
A very distinguished artistaaN tee
was Dante Gabriel Rossetti, who WfN

RFOnreSS.

Sending messages by lightning, trav-
cling at 40 miles to the hour, cross
ing in a week the ocean which the May
flower perilOusly breasted, in our
sumptuous vessels, framed of iron, lux
urious in appointment, propelled from
within, and gay with color as so many
swimming summer gardens-these aD-
plauded achievements do not tend Of
necessity to the upbuildng Of nobler
courage, to the development Of a lu~
minous moral wisdom, to the culture OF
even philosophical refinement, or the
nurture of the temper of devout as
piration. On the other hand, do we
not sometimes feel that virtue among
us is coming to be too much mat
ter of manners; that the intense sub
jective processes from which august
character is derived are In a measure
being superseded by the mechanical
contrivances and the physical sue
cesses with which our noisy years re-
sound; and that the grand and lovely
spirits, which are present still, and In
which, whenever we touch them, we
find strange charm and inspiration,
are fewer and lonelier than they were!

Alphabet Of the Soul.

Gestures part in Oriental drama 10
set forth in recent Hindu volume,
which says that there is fitting ges-
ture to represent every emotion. The
gesture, In fact, is described as a deaf
and dumb alphabet of the soul. There
are nine movements Of the head, cor
responding to nine emotions, men
toned by one authority, twenty-four
by another; twenty-eight movements
of the single hands, and twenty-four
Cor twenty-six) of the double hands,
etc.; also "hands" denoting animals,
trees, oceans, and other things. For
example, certain position of the
hands denotes a certain emperor,
caste, or planet. The translator says,
rather slyly, that only cultivated au"
dience can appreciate Indian "actor'S
art"

The PIGS Food Habits.

We must all (says the Pail Mall
Gazette) make our apologies to the
pig, who has been grossly maligned in
regard to his food. Instead of being
ready to eat anything, he turns out to
be the most fastidious Of animals. Elk.
periments have been made In France
and Sweden which show this to be the
case, and in the latter country the
record tells us that out of 575 plants
the goat eats 40 aud refuses 1876; the
sheep out of 52S plants eats 1877 and
refuses 141; out Of 49, plants the COW
eats 276 and refuses 2lS; out Of 474
plants the horse eats 262 and refuses
212; and the pig out OK 2A3 plants eat:

EASY TO TRAIN SHEPHERDS
ippies Soon Learn II They Are placed
With Ewes and the Lambs
Taken Away.

1t is easy enough to train shepherd
dogs If they are taken as pup
pies. When the sheep are lambing,
take lamb away from its mother
and put the puppies on the eve. Keep
the eve tied up for few days and
see that the little puppies nurse her;
then it will not be long until she viii
think as much Of the pups as she does
Of her lamb.
AS soon as the pups are old enough
to follow the sheep let them go with
the bunch and they will soon be TAX
ing care of the sheep. The dogs will
soon learn to take them out OF the
sheds in the morning and bring them
back at night. And IL strange dog
or wolf comes around, one dog will
stay and fight while another will start
the sheep for home. In lambing ting
they keep the sheep close around the
ranch or camp, and seem to take on
degree Of intelligence that is mar
velous. They can soon be taught the
masters calls or signals and will obey
promptly. It is essential that they
shall be fed by some sort Of system,
and it Is well to have them understand
that this is their reward. IL one has
good working dog, it is surprising
how readily young animal will learn
from the old one. But the masters do
not always have an old dog, and then
the trainer must play the dog himself
and do a little running. Everyone
has his own whistles or words Of COM
mand, and dog soon catches on.--Ex-
