Northern Weekly Gazette. — 1899-04-29 (Stockton-on-Tees, Cleveland, England)

APRIL 29, 1899.  Wben he went out to South Africa, a few yam' ng,i he t.itdi out a number of Northumbriau mirers who wished to make a new start in life in a new land. and he not only paid their passage for them, but found them employment. When. ever be can be ~f service in the Cmoperatire movement, or in laying a foundation-stone, as he did on Saturday, of a new Mechanics' Institute for Seaton Burn, he is ready and willing. His reference on Saturday was to the billiard tables to be provided. In Sir Edward Grey, in Earl Percy. and in Mr Charles P. Trevelyan the younger sons of Northumbria all promise to keep faith with tradition and lead useful lives in the higher spheres of public service.  TRADE journals are now pretty familiar, but a trade magazine is altogether novel. The attempt is a bold and ambitious one, but it ought to hs heartily responded to by the trade which the magazine has thus dignified and set in the fns. must rank. The printers have a monthly tiade journal which is a work of art, and which is lovalealde to each member of it as a model of good work and the latest inventions in regard to his craft. " The Grocery Trade .Magazlne," however. has been got up in a most tasteful manner, and the letterpress and illustrations are all that can be desired. Fine artistic taste and a high degree of finish is displayed in the conception anl execution of the attractive cover. The contents are not less striking, and a very informative illistrated article on the far-famed Coleman's Mustard Manufactory at Norwich, the frontage which occupies three-quarters of a mile. Wit 3 the portraits of the founders and pre,erit directorate, is given, with a supplement g:ring 3 pan,... view of Coleman's works, which is four feet in length, the largest half-tone picture ever produced. It is made up from twenty photographs. To our readers familiar with the origin of l?urham mustard this development is Interesting. This is the first attempt in this or any other country to provide an industry with what is practically a magazine, in which secondary at. tention is given to ordinary commercial infxauction, and first place to interesting illustrated matter, worth perusal for its own sake. Another feature in the magazine is a beautiful reproduction of a striking new poster, reproduced in colours. An amusing sketch is given on tea, and an article on Lipton. Besides this a novel competition is announced, and there is a gallery of new posters and showcarcis, interesting alike to the collector an-I tradesmen.  A TERRIBLE story comes from Georgia this week. A negro was burned at the stake for murder, to which he confessed. The unfortunate man's ears and fingers were cut off, and then a torch was applied to the faggots. His body was cut to pieces, the bones being crushed into small fragments, and the tree was divided and carried away as souvenirs ci the shocking and brutal revenge. Deceased was said to have outraged his victim's wife, but this he denied; and he alleged that he received twelve d..llars from a coloured preacher, aged sixty, to du the murder. The preacher was hung, after his ears and fingers were cut off. This blind display of passion may spring from a dssire to protect white woman, but its brutality is utterly unjustifiable. and fills one with amazemerit that white inert can have their prazions little under restraint as to delight in the most wicked and savage forma of revenge.
