WOUNDS

25 THE!) BURNED TO DEATH Negro Runs Amuck on Streets Of Monroe, La., Shooting Wildly. THREE VICTIMS TO DIE MAYOR OF TOWN WA8 SHOT, BUT THROUGH HIS EFFORTS FUR THER BLOODSHED ON PART OF CITIZENS PREVENTED. Monroe, La., Aug. 25. Believed crazed by whiskey or cocaine, Bill Wade, a negro, dashed down the main street of Monroe yesterday firing in every direction. Twenty-five citizens were wounded and three of them will probably die. The negro himself fin ally fell riddled by a score of bullets and his bleeding body was dragged to a public square, where despite the pleas, of the mayor, himself wounded by the negro, oil was poured over his body and a match applied. Last night Monroe was in a furor of excitement. : Peeling against the negroes is running high and only the counsel of the coolest prevented a wholesale slaughter of the negro population. The mayor and the sheriff have sworn In a number of deputies and the streets are being carefully patrolled, while on advice of the laV officers, all negroes are keeping off the streets. Wade appeared on the streets shortly before noon. There was nothing to Indicate his crazed condition. Under his arm he carried a double barreled shotgun and the pockets of his coat were filled with shells. Citizens Return Fire. When he reached the main street he uttered a savage yell and began firing right and left. Those citizens who were armed returned his fire. Patrolman Bigger, who quickly reached the scene, ran forward, calling on the negro to surrender. The black replied by sending a charge of shot through his abdomen. The policeman will probably die. T. A. Grant, a deputy sheriff, received dangerous wounds In his breast and neck and Simon Marks, a merchant, received an ugly breast wound which may prove fatal. George McCormick got too close the deadly fire and his right arm was torn off by the discharge of both barrels. The street was by this time crowded and shots were flying thick and fast. The negro, forced to cover entered a doorway. He ; would emerge only to fire and then retreat and reload. His every appearance was the signal for a fusillade. Finally his gun was silenced. : Citizens carefully approached and found him dead, his body pierced by a score of bullets. Cries of "Burn Him." Immediately there were cries of "Burn him, burn him." The body was picked up by a dozen members of the mob and hastily carried to the town's public square. Ten gallons of oil were poured over him. Mayor Forsythe, bleeding from a gunshot wound in the face, was soon on the scene. He made a dramatic appeal for law and order. The mob would not be denied. A match wa3 applied and the body consumed by the flames. There were shouts of "Kill the niggers," and at once the mob gathered They were counseled by the mayor and other prominent citizens to refrain f i om lawlessness, while many white rr.en declared they would protect innocent negroes with their lives. The mob spirit was thus temporarily quieted, but it may break, out afresh at any moment. Many of the negroes are leaving Monroe. It was at first reported that Wade was half crazed' at the time from the effects of cocaine and cheap whiskey, but an investigation by the police Bhowed that when he purchased the shotgun and box of shells a few minutes before he opened fire on the first there was nothlnglunusual in his manner. He had not been drinking nor did he show any evidence of having taken cocaine. Wade came to Monroe recntly from Pine Bluff, Ark. He was accompanied by several other negroes, and they commenced to make trouble for the local police soon after they arrived. It was alleged that they were members of n society in Arkansas which had as Us object revenge fof all injuries done the black, race. PENNSYLVANIA LINES SPECIAL , TRAIN SERVICE.

"IIICKLE" HOVELS

ARE MUCH BETTER THAN SOME TALES (Continued From Page One.) thing. The historical books always have a big place in his reading. What It Is Worth. "Many subjects in the high school course are not inherently Interesting to children. ' The chief thing is the proper introduction. A school course is worth $10 a day to a boy. But seven-eighths of the boys do not go through high school. The hope of the country is in cities the size of Rich mond. Select your mayors and councllmen from your school graduates, Do not take them from the mass at large. The schools must be made to improve the children and to do this they must be made to meet conditions as they exist. In his lecture to the teachers, Dr. Kinnaman this morning talked on prevention. It was the story of an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure. He said the chief subject must be how to avoid transgression, not how to punish the transgressor. He said more effort must be put forth on how , to train the youngsters not to need correction, than to learn how to punish them. "You have saloons and other places of evil open to your children," the speaker said. "Then you have to have police to arrest them and laws to punish them. Why not get rid of the temptations and remedy matters in this way, rather than learn how to inflict punishment for the transgressors?" Dr. Kinnaman suggested a community of interest as the solution. He said in the school, the thing to do ia to induce every child! to see he has a part of his own to play. He must feel an Interest in the school. The teacher must be the same way. A close relationship must exist between all. WHITNEY'S GRAND CONCERT. The Whitneys, assisted by Mrs. Whitney, reader, in a grand concert provided the principal entertainment on last evening's program. Miss O'Reilly continued her dissertations on "Irish Literature and Folklore." She Is a pleasing speaiker and her audience has become interested in her theme. Her efforts always are applauded. Mrs. Whitney entertained her audience with a reading of two scenes from Knowle's "The Hunchback." She was assisted by Mr. Whitney. Her work was first class. She is one of the best readers to appear in this city and each time she is heard, Improvement Is shown. The comedy features of the drama were presented in an artistically delightful manner. The audience was moved to roars of laughter as the sentences were repeated. Told Things to Teachers. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Kinnaman, the institute lecturer took a fling at the introduction of Latin and other foreign languages in the rural schools. He ridiculed the idea of this method of teaching. He said, tell the children something they may expect to be of some benefit to them. He also took up the subject of sanitation and disease. He lambasted the house fly saying it is the worst enemy of man. He declared the bedbug is a gentleman as compared to the fly. He told how the feet of the creature carry disease and infection of all kinds. He charged flies with being responsible for typhoid fever. The Kentucky educator aroused the antagonism of some of the women In his audience when he told them'they ought to know something about civic economics. He told the teachers they must interest themselves in subjects of civic interest and inculcate the right kind of principles into the children they teach. He told the teachers if they fail to tell their children the truth about public morality they will be in part responsible for their conduct in future years. Must Have Common Sense. Common sense is better to possess than all the book knowledge to be found. That is what the Rev. Ernest W. O. Neal would have his audiences believe. In his address on "Popular Fallacies" yesterday afternoon he called attention to many of the things he brands as falacious. Among them is the popular belief that a pale face goes with piety. The speaker remarked that the more healthful any person is the better he is. He would not have his hearers believe that the sad, melancholy, demore looking individual is the one who practices best his religion. The Rev. Mr. O'Neal is a powerful speaker. His address was of the typical chautauqua kind. There was sentiment aplenty andt there were some hard facts driven home. There was

Joy and pathos. There were oratorical

flights and "sunset scenes, such as always sway the more , emotional among a crowd. The address was wholly pleasing. Everyone in the audience found something in it to suit himself. That is more than can be said of the majority of addresses which have been delivered this season at least up to date. Common Sense Needed. In speaking of the need for common sense, the Rev. Mr. O'Neal said Shakespear was the greatest apostle of common sense. He quoted from one of the poet's works to illustrate his point. He said it lies within oneself to fit his destiny. A man can do what most he desires to do. Intellect without character will not bring success, the speaker stated. "ReDutation is your photograph , he said. In regard to genius, he said in many cases it is the result of hard and persistent effort about which the public knows nothing, and not a flight or inspiration that seems directed by an unknown power. In regard to the need for an excel lent physique and healthy, strong body, the speaker called attention to the historical fact that practically all the great leaders-have been strong physically. Some few who were weak in body succeeded, but there is no way to tell what they might have attain ed had they been blessed by good health in addition. WAS NIGHT TERROR" Sea-going Yacht Returns to New York After Severe Experience. PASSENGERS IN A PANIC New York, Aug. 25. The sea-going motor yacht Arion which, with seventy passengers, including many women and children, went on a fishing trip down the coast early yesterday, was towed into port, disabled today, more than twelve hours overdue. The passengers spent a night of terror on board in the open sea. The Arion was picked up by the steam pilot boat New Yorker off Seabright, N. J. The Alton's signals of distress were seen by a passing steam er which communicated with one of the life-saving stations along the coast. Word was then transmitted to Sandy Hook and the authorities notified. Important OS9talB. Whether the officers mentioned by Mr. Whintom In his "History of Antrim' (New Hampshire) regarded their position seriously and lived up to their official dignity is not told. It is certain that the small boys would hare hailed the opportunity of exercising such functions with glee and would have discharged their duties with vigor and alacrity. In 1TO8 the town of Antrim officially appointed three responsible persons to fill the position of dog petters. It was their dutj to sit near tbe meeting bouse door and to pelt, drive away or cane any dogs that dared to enter tbe sacred edifice. In the official records of tbe town are found votes of subsequent years, continuing tbe vocation of the dog pelters. One might question which would make tbe most disturbance In tbe church, the chance dog or tbe pelters in the exercise of their official duties. I ScolalBar Reform. It is accepted as a truism among educators that no child can be made permanently good by simply scolding. Tbe overscolded child Is made worse by tbe process, and tbe overscolded politician is likely to deteriorate, and for tbe same reason. Even a good dog will try to earn a bad name if he has it thrust too often upon him. Probably it would be an exaggerated statement to say that the essential spirit of reform in this country is tbe spirit of tbe scolding parent, but it resembles It too of ten. George W. Alger In Atlantic. An OM Staader. When tbe British admiralty bnilt the splendid naval barracks at Chatham they fitted up one of tbe largest rooms in fine style for court martlals and had "Court Martial" inscribed on a big brass plate on tbe door. When It was about to be used for tbe first time tbe discovery was made that tbe regulations require all naval court martials to be held on the water.

TURKEY IS AGAR!

EACHIGJ REVOLT Trofcps Now Being Rushed by The Government Into Albania. SOME SEVERE FIGHTING REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT IS SPREADING AND EVERY DAY MARKS MORE PILLAGE AND MUCH BLOODSHED. (American News Service) Constantinople, Aug. 33. Turkey is facing two revolts today. Troops are being rushed into Northern Albania and Hodelda, on the Red Sea, and it is feared that the reactionaries will take advantage of the perilous situation to rise against the present Sultan and the regime of the Young Turks. Reports of severe fighting came from Albania today and Mazi Bey with a strong force of rtoops was instantly ordered to the scene. At the same time time the governor of Hodeida was urgently telegraphing for troops. Along the Arabian frontier the situation has become revolutionary and every day sees murder and pillage. Small villages are being wiped out by fire and musketry skirmishing is going forward continuously. The Italian gunboat Volturno is hurrying to Hodieda while the governor has asked for a British warship to protect Turkish interests until the soldiers arrive. THEIR LAZY CLUB. English Workmen Make Lata Comer Pay For Tardiness. In the engineering shops of a cei tain English Arm the workmen of : year or two ago originated, what the; called tbe Lazy cbib. It was entirelj their own idea, which for obvious rea sons has received neither recognition nor financial support from tbe management, but has been the most excellent means of reduclag tbe number of late comers. Whenever a workman Is more than five minutes after time be finds tbe gate locked, and he is not allowed to enter until the half hour is up. This half hour is deducted from his wages, but in addition be has also to pay to tbe treasurer of the Lazy club about 5 cents for coming late. If be is late more than once or so during a week everybody is aware of the fact, and the second or third time he makes bis appearance after starting time be is greeted with a terrific combination of noises produced on any available material by bis fellow workmen. At certain periods tbe accumulated funds of tbe Lazy club are divided, not among those who have produced them. It should be voted, but among the entire staff equally. Thus tbe late workman is mnde to pay the early comers for his laziness. Tbe last distribution was just prior to a "bean feast." and funds accumulated during twelve months were distributed, amounting to over $1.75 a head. System. A Pepper Duel. A certain literary and diplomatic friend of oors once took pert Id a pepper duel at a foreign restaurant. He was provoked to the contention by the quantity - of stimulating condiment that a stranger across tbe table indulged In. The stranger sprinkled an unconscionable quantity of red pepper upon his food and proceeded to devour it. to tbe wonder and admiration of onlookers. Thereupon with studied nonchalance the American swallowed an immense piece of chili pepper. Then tbe stranger added more red pepper, then the American another larger slice, covered with cayenne, and so on. till it seemed as if both would explode, while tbe other diners looked on aghast, the American finally winning out with a prodigious dose defying all emulation. Century. , Professor Thomas Jamieson, of Aberdeen, is making himself very annoying to orthodox science by insisting that plants take their nitrogen from leaves and not from roots. He does not himself show how they do this, but demands to know how it is that so many air plants and lichens that have little or no root get their indispensable nitrogen. If Professor Jamieson is right, then the botany books will have to be rewritten from end to end. New York Press.

In addition $1,000 PER MILE IS REPAIR COST ASPHALT STREETS (Continued From Page One.) where a pavement is used which needs constant repairs. The heavy cost of repairing and keeping asphalt streets in repair is the greatest objection to that kind of streets, and it is an item of expense that has been given a great amount of thought by the city. A year or so ago the city purchased an asphalt plant of its own, and since then it has cost less to repair the streets, but still it costs about a thousand dollars a mile per year. In a smaller place where there is but one or two asphalt streets the city could not afford to maintain a plant of its own. EXPERIENCE QUAKE (American News Service) Sienna, Italy, Aug. 25. Great damage is feared in the earthquake which is believed to have shaken the entire district of Sienna early today. Soldiers were started out this morning to investigate and give aid to the sufferers. All telegraph communication wa3 destroyed.
