town of cave-dwellers, mm ana

tbe stalui In a vacant lot In Coatesville, Pa., last August. The Governor has instructed Deputy 'Attorney General J. E. B. Cunningham, of Pittsburg, who is in change of the prosecution, to go before the Supreme Court, Monday morning, and present request that the lynching cases be taken out of the Chester courts and removed to the courts of some other couuty for trial. In speaking of this novel procedure, Cunningham said that the application to tbe Supreme Court is not intended In any way as a reflection upon the conduct of the Judge of Chester county In tbe previous trials, and continuing:

"I swear you can't diagnose my case!" exclaimed the misanthrope. "I think," said the doctor with fiendish acumen, "that you're just had a poem rejected." "How dare you." foamed the misanthrope. "Do you take me for a sublimated ass? Dp you think I've fallen so

low as to write poetry? You must in

said the

doctor drawing on his gloves," but you don't deceive me. I'm a pathologist." "Pooh! I'll bet you don't know what a pathologist is. I know I don't. You can't scare me with that bogey. When doctors are up a tree they begin to talk pathology." "Come now," persuaded the doctor in his best sick-room maner, "didn't you have that poem returned you read to me the other day?" "Is't possible I ever read you any of my poetry?" "You know you did and," added the

i doctor in soft-voiced admiration, "I

thought it exquisite." "Oh, ray dear friend," cried the misanthrope jumping up and wringing

What the Juries Did. ..The Deputy Attorney General went on to say that It was only after a great deal of unnecessary delay that the grand jury, called for the purpose of Investigating the crime, handed down

tbe Indictments. He alleges the trial j

juries paid absolutely no attention to ; that rampages, that poses in the spottbe evidence presented and always j light, that gets all the checks .that is returned a verdict for acquittal, even . featured in the head-lines, that is re-

after a defendant had admitted his t connection with the crime. In five trials there were six defendants and all of them were set free lay the Juries, who said, did not make the least pretense at considering the evidence. The crime for which Governor Tener wants the guilty parties punished was one of the most spectacular case of lynching that has ever occurred north of the Mason and Dixon line. Edgar Rice, a special officer employed as a watchman around the mills of Coatesville, and a great favorite with the workmen, was found dead with a bullet wound in his head, August 12, of last year. One Zachariah Walker was accused of the crime, and Immediately a posse of Rice's infuriated friends was formed and set out to hunt the negro,. He was finally surrounded in a tree on a farm near the . outskirts of the city, and as the posse drew near, he shot himself and fell from the tree. He was, placed under arrest, and taken to Coatesville hos- ' pltal to have his wound dressed. The feeling against- the . accused negro waxed warmer and on the night of hit arrest 400 masked men stormed

"Is it not," lowerlngly continued the cynic, "those barbarians who murder the English language and can't tell a French verb from a soup turreen, who wear evening clothes to afternoon receptions and say 'yes ma'am to a lady?' " "Don't ask me," said the doctor. "I'm not In society." "N'o," sneered the misanthrope, "but you practice in it." "They pay Avell," grinned the doc-

Don't glare at me!" i "It is your fault Its everybody's fault. I intend to glare at you and anybody else whomsoever I will. I am disgusted with life!" stamped the misanthrope. "Why are we' here?

Only after the body of the man had been re

The lynching horrified the whole country and the lynchers were denounced by the newspapers in all sections. Governor Tener was especially bjtter and ordered an immediate investigation and the prosecution of any and all of thoso who participated in

the lynching. The work of the officers met with opposition on all sides i

AH the stories the same. All the articles cut out of tbe same pattern. The .contributors have the same names. Their rejection slips are modelled on the same plan. "Magazines, you know, have "readers" who pass on whatever is sent in.

"But what has this to do with dark streets?" asked the doctor. , "Nothing at all." said the misanthrope. "Indeed I don't know who introduced the subject." "It is the fact, however," said the doctor, "that people are not sufficiently considerate of the public. They should light their houses, throw up

After hearing this statement by the defendant Judge Fox immediately granted the decree. Mrs. O'Hara testified that the defendant had struck her upon numerous occasions and that he had otherwise mistreated her. She testified that upon one occasion he threatened to strike her

Woman s Power Over Man Woman's most glorious endowment is the power . to awaken and hold the pure and honest love of a worthy man. When she loses it and still loves on, no one in the wide world can know the heart agony she endure. The woman who suffers from weakness and derangement of her system, soon loses her personal magnetism. Her general health suffers nd she loses her Mood look, her amiability and

womanly charm. Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., with the assistance of his staff of able physicians, has prescribed for and cured many thousands of women. He has devised a successful remedy for woman's ailments. It is known as Or. Pierce' Favorite Prescription. It is a positive specific for the weaknesses and disorders peculiar to women. It purines, regulates, strengthens and heal. Medicine dealers sell it. No kenest dealer will advise you to accept a substitute in order to make a little larger profit.
