DIFFUSION OF TilK NEGIIOKS. St. Louis Globe-Democrat: The census report shows that the negroes are holding their own in the country at large, but the figures for the separate states reveal the fact that they are losing ground relatively in the south. The data are already in for Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Maryland and Louisiana. In every one of those states the whites have grown faster in the past decade than did the blacks. The growth, in fact, has been under way for many years. While there were 155,000 more whites than blacks in Alabama in 1890, there was 174,000 of a preponderance in 1900. The relative increase of whites has been as great in the rest of the states named, and in some of them it has been greater.

Bat the most striking change of all has been made In the case of Louisiana. In that state the negro has been in the preponderance for a century except in one or two short intervals, but in 1900 the white was in front. In 1890 the negro's lead had been reduced to a small figure, being only about two thousand. In 1900 the whites are almost 79,000 ahead, As the negro population of the country as a whole has increased about as fast as that of the whites, the black men must be distributing themselves over a wider area than they had formerly. More of them, relatively as well as absolutely, will be found in the northern and western states when"thefigures are all in than were here ten years ago.

Of course this diffusion of the negroes throughout the country at large will have Apolitical and social conse quenoes. As the black man decreases .n the south the political proscription of which he is the victim will gradually die out. The laws, organic and sLatu tory, directed against him as a voter will be repealed, or be allowed to be come a dead letter. On the other hand, the opposition to him in some of the industries in the north, which is oocasionally.manifested, may increase, at least for.'.a'time. Possibly the pro scription in^the south has had some thing to do with'.his diminution in that section, although the climate there ia presumed to be more congenial to him than Is that of the north and west This dispersion of-the negroes through out the country, which is revealed by the census figures, is one of the most Interesting of the social phenomena of the time*.

of less than a foot in diameter to be cut and requires the smaller trees to be carefully protected. "If this sensible plan," says the Philadelphia Record "had been adopted a century ngo in the north our pine forests would still be producing large quantities of maretabie lumber, with no prospect of extinction." But those forests are now a barren waBte and people can only ruminate on what might have been.

THE Dowager Empress Frederick, the mother of William II, was a woman of education and force of character. Bismark accused her of having an undue iniluence in liberalizing the German politics of a dozen or a score of years ago. It was BiBmark's belief that liberalization in that era would be carried too far for Germany's good, but the woman who has just died was of the opposite opinion, and it was understood that her husband, Frederick III, who was on the throne for a few weeks after the death of his father, William I., and who then died, shared her view. Bismark disliked Eogland, and said that th,e empress dowager, who was a daughter of Queen Victoria, wa9 swayed too much by English ideas. She had ability and courage, however, and in a political way she gave the Iron Ctiancellor some of the hardefct fights of his strenuous life.

BURNED IT STARE

Horrible Fate of Negro Ravisher at Hands of Southern Mob.

CONFESSED HIS CRIME

John Wesley Pennington Who Assaulted Wife ot Prominent Farmer Dies At the Post.

Whites anti Blacks Alike Join I11 Inflicting1 Summary and Terrible Punishment.

Birmingham, Ala., Aug. 8.—With agonizing screams and his eyes bulging from his head, John Wesley Pennington, a negro, was burned at the stake near Enterprise, Ala., before a crowd of 500 enraged and determined citizens of Coffee county yesterday. The mob was composed of both whites and blacks, aud though the suffering wretch pleaded for mercy and frantically endeavored to breau the chains that tightly bound him, not a touch of sympathy was shown on the faces that peered at him through the flames. Pennington hnd commited a brutal assault upon Mrs. J. C. Davis, the wife of one of the most prominent farmars of Coffee county, and confessed his guilt.

The crime was commi^i while Mrs. Davis was gathering -etables in her garden. She was stooping over plucking tomatoes when Penuington slipped up from behind her and threw her to the ground. He choked the fear-stricken woman into insensibility, accomplihsed his intention and fled through the wood near by. As soon as she regained her senses Mrs. Davis crawled to the house and told her husband what had happened. A large posse- was quickly organized with bloodhounds, and they captured the negro in a swamp. Pennington was bound hand and foot and taken back to the Davis home for identification. Mrs. Davis immediately recognized him, and the negro broke down and wept. He admitted having committed the assault, but pleaded for mercy, but with cries of terror the trembling man was dragged from the house and into the woods, where the crowd had gathered. Evidently expecting the confession, several of the citizens had already driven an iron pipe in the ground, aud as the men approached with Pennington both whites and blacks were piling brushwood around the stake. The negro saw his doom, and a scream of terror fell to the ground in a faint. He was quickly revived and dragged to the stake, while the crowd stood silently by. Tne frightened man was limp and had to be held up while the chains were fastened around his neck and body. A match was applied to the pile, aud with oil to feed upon, the tiny flame soon burst into a roaring fire. The terrified neg.-o again pleaded for mercy In the most agonizing tones, and prayed to God that those around him might perish. He then called upon the Maker for forgiveness, and as the flames leaped up and encircled his neck, an unerathly shriek was heard and the man's eyes had almost bulged out of the sockets. By this time the fire had gained such headway that nothing could be seen excepting a wriggling motion in the center of the circle of fire. A deathly silence followed and in a few minutes the flames had sufficiently subsided to see that Pennington's head had fallen forward and hung limp over the iron chain. The body was quickly consumed, and all of Pennington that remained was a pile of ashes. The crowd then quietly dispersed.

"Window Glass Interests to Be Under One Head. PitfsLni'rg, Aug. 8.—Another vast industrial combination, one of the greatest that &as ever been planned, is evidently under way, and two prominent Pittsburgers are taking a leading part in the consummation of the project that lias for its object the placing in the power of one corporation the control of the world's supply of window glass.

The proposed combination is to take in all of the window glass manufacturers of the world. If effected the business will be conducted from Pittsburg, and the nucleus of the organization will be the American Window Glass company of this city. This company practically controls the window glass business of the United States, and the only factories In Europe that amount to anything are located in Belgium. A combination of these is now under way. The Pittsburgers who are conducting the negotiations are President James A. Chambers and Vice President M. K. McMullin of the American Window Glass company. They left this city for Europe about 10 days ago.
