DR. NAUSSAU SA7S LEOPOLD
DOESN 'T tell truth.
Ruler of Belgians, He Declares,
Responsible for Horrible Con
ditions Now Exisitng.
By Private Leased Wire
Sew York. June S.—"King Leopold
Is a monumental Mar and cut-throat.
I would not be In Leopold's boots for
the whole world. He has on awful ac
count to render his Maker,"
In this. language Rev. Dr. H.
Nauaiau characterized the king of the
Belgians yesterday on his return from
Africa In the White Star steamship
Majestic.
Dr. Nassau Is TO years old, and has
been In Africa for the Presbyterian
board of foreign missions since 1SS1
visiting this country but four times in
tne meanwhile.
-Everything that has been claimed by
the enemies of the slave traffic," said
Rev. Mr. Nassau, "Is true, but.a great
deal has not been told. I think there
would be no slave traffic If there were
no Leopold. He Is behind It all.
"When Leopold, through his agents,
denies the existence of the sluve traffic,
he is a monumental liar, us well as *
cut-throat. I am a clergyman, and
cannot form words sufficiently stron
to characterlxe the king of Belgium,
should have to get a dictionary and
mark off the words without saying
them. I cannot bo profane.
"Leopold denies that outrages are
committed on the helpless natives In
Africa. He knows It to be true, how
ever and with truo diplomacy the oth
er politicians of Europe take his denial
as granted. Leopold sent his own com
mission out to Africa to learn If cer
tain things were true. He expected that
commission to whitewash him. But the
commission confirmed all the stories
that all the traders and travelers told.
“Leopold Is the owner of that state.
It is a personal ownership. Whsn he
dies he will turn It over to Belgium.
“England will probably stop the traf
fic. The question is now In parliament.
Mr E. D. Morrell, an African editor,
Is In England leading the crusade
against Leopold.” ,

A Remarkable Demonstration in
Shorthand.
Bagwell's Business College, of this
city, has adopted Chsrtler shorthand,
said to be the most remarkable system
of rapid writing ever published.
Mr. L. C. Spencer, one of the pub
lishers, took charge of a class Monday,
many of whom never had studied or
seen shorthand before, and after live
days' study many of them write prac
tice matter at the rate of one hundred
words per minute and read tt without
I hesitation. A number of prominent
stenographers and court reporters have
attended the « *
. ; demonstration during the
week and witnessed the results obtain
'd by this class, and all pronounce It a
marveloua achievement.
The closing exercises will be held to
night at I o'clock In the College hall,
1»8 Peachtree street, and the public Is
Invited to attend. The demonstration
will be a treat rarely experienced In
Atlanta.
MISSOURI COAL STRIKE
IS PRACTICALLY ENDED
Most Remarkable Din
ner Party Ever Given
in Atlanta.
One By One Candles Were
Snuffed As Courses Were
Eaten and Taken Away.
"Let Joy be unCOKFINed" for “we'll
not go home tlll-momlng," said Julius
L. Brown to hla coterie of distinguished
guests on the occasion of his "tlfty-
elghth and last official birthday," when
there was gathered at hie home, at No.
187 Washington street, a small com
pany of the lnttmate friends of this art
connoisseur, member of the American
Bibliophile Society, whose residence
contains treasures collected ifrom the
old and new world, from the Orient
and every quarter of the globe. Sur
rounded by antiques, with priceless
pieces of art and original manuscripts
plied here and there In almost endless
confusion, Mr. Brown dined his guests,
who sipped wine that had been made
for the kings, while they Joined heartily
In tho burlesque on the American so
ciety dinner, as this occasion waa.
Those Who Were There.
"For they are Jolly good fellows and
that none can deny" was applied by
Mr. Brown to those who seated them
selves at his dinner table. They were.
In alphabetical order, Reuben Arnold,
BenJ. M. Blackburn, Joseph If. Brown,
Julius L. Brown, Julius A. Ftsrhrr,
Dr. Amos Fox, Joseph C. Greenfleld,
Dr. J. J. Knott, J. G. Oglesby, Govern
or Joseph M. Terrell. H. M. Reid and
John R. Wilkinson. From 7 o'clock, the
hour of the most unusual dinner ever
given In Atlanta, as those present de
clare It was, until the hour of mid
night, when they took leave of their
host, there was a running lire of Jokes,
there was fun rampant, although Mr.
Brown announced "My days are In the
sere and yellow leaf,” and the dinner
was such as might have been held •in
Dante's chamber of death, with Its
somber decorations and Its funeral at
mosphere.
Those who were Invited to celebrate
the occasion of Mr. Brown's "flfty-
elghth and last official" dinner knew
they would enjoy something unusual:
they knew they would be surprised, but
what they saw when they walked from
the brilliantly lighted library to the
dining room Immediately adjoining In
the rear of the house waa more than
they were prepared for. There was
black here, black there, draped In the
windows and over the furniture; with
dull silver shining and reflecting back
the little blaxea from the candles In
every part of the room. There was
no other light. Some of the guests,
the most Ordinary one In the com-
any, Mr. Brown says, thought he waa
elng made a part of an Irish wake,
while others, unable to' account for
the unusual sight, seated themselves
In silence, snd looked about them
askance, with glances half frightened,
and all to the keen enjoyment of the
host, who, seated at the head of the
table with his brother, Hon. Joseph M.
Blown, the guest of honor, hailed Ills
friends to make merry and have no
thought of the 'morrow, for 'twas i
society dinner they were having, some
thing unusual. In this day of the un
usual.
Coming to realising that no one had
suddenly passed away, but that they
were the guests of an occasion that
must assuredly be sn event In their
guests of the evening, and they did
not fall to see things. To make It
clear—Mr. Brown's dining room Is the
last of three large rooms opening Into
each other, on the south side of his res
idence. A huge mantelpiece on one
side, massive sideboards of antique de<
rare china and glass; everywhere
curios that defy the Imitator;
walls covered with beautiful plates,
with practically every kind of an orna
ment everywhere. They were aeated
In the midst of another world, the
world of yesterday, yet no more Joyoua
ever celebrated than thi
guests of Mr. Brown on the evening of
his fifty-eighth birthday.
Skull Bsslde Each Pitts,
Mr. Brown ordinarily uses a square
table, but he wanted his guests to face
each other, so he had made especially
a round table, over which waa placed
a black velvet tablecloth. At each cover
was placed one of the black dinner
cards, together with a figure of a Gib
son girl on another card. A skull was
also by the side of each plate, while
suspended from the center of the chan
delier was another huge skull of ashy
white, and under which on a blacl
lestal sat the figure of a monk
Jraped In black. Candles were at
each plate, and there waa a candle
for every course of the dinner. With
the end of each course a candle was
snuffed out, this being continued
through the dinner until there were left
no lights on the table, though those
those In the corner of the room were
still burning. There was as little color
as possible In the room, though the
fantastic shadows thrown by the can
dles over the faces of those seated at
the table made queer fun of some of
Atlanta's public men, who laughed and
tested, courted death almost In their
thoughts. In enjoyment of the somber
surroundings furnished by Mr, Brown.
The Joke on the Governor.'

for all, and on Governor Terrell was
perpetrated a Joke, which surprised him
