KIDNAPED BY STRIKERS.
Non-Union Machinists Hare Lots of
Trouble In Charleston.
A Charleston. S. C.. dispatch says:
Friday night striking railroad machin
ists seized six new men who had been
brought in by the Southern railway,
put them in a big wagon and hurried
across the river five miles into a wil
derness, where they released and
warned them under penalty of death
not to return. V volley of pistol shots
was fired to warn the new men that
they would be killed if the orders were
cot obeyed The kidnaped party had
been without food for twenty-four
hours. The men wandered through
the woods, and two of them reached
the city at laylight Saturday. The
others were lost, but were rescued by
a posse later. Warrants for the arrest
of the strikers have been Issued.
The new- machinists were the same
men seized when the strikers held up
a special train, forced lb* door and
threw them bodily to ihe ground.

VIOLATION OF RULES ALLEGED
i Used Position For Personal Ad
vantage--Ordered to Appear
Before Commission.
The United States Philippine com
mission at Manila has ordered H.
Phelps Whitmarsh, the governor of
Benguet province, to Manila to submit
to an investigation, owing to allega
tions that he had been using his posi
tion to his personal advantage, in ae- j
qtiiring iand and mining rights from I
the natives. He is at present charged j
with indiscretion and violation of his :
instructions. The commission partic
ularly instructed Governor Whitmarsh
to cultivate friendship and protect the
interests of the Igarrotes who suffered
from Spanish extortions and exploita
tions.
Colonel Duval, of the Fourth regi
ment, which formerly occupied the j
provinces of Union and Benguet, and 1
Dr. Kicffer, the regimental surgeon !
who was prominent in the civil admin- j
istration of the provinces, complained |
of Governor Whitmarsh’s methods of j
administering his office.
The commission is inclined to attri- j
bute the- feeling existing to military I
opposition to civilian authority in Ben
guet. Voluntary statements made by j
natives to Commissioner Worcester j
while on a visit to Benguet, formed the j
basis of the investigation. General ;
Bell has forwarded similar allegations ;
to Manila.
Two friars who were invited to Ca- :
lastao, province of i angasinan. to cel
ebrate a holiday, were mobued. A na
tive priest denounced the action of the !

tive papers have since inaugurated re
newed attacks on the friars.

KILLED lIIS THREE CHILDREN.
Horrible ami Most Pitiable Crime of a
Demented Father at Halifax.
At Halifax, N. S„ Monday three in
nocent lives were ended by the act of
a crazy father, the crime being one of
the most pitiable lu Nova Scotia for
many years. The father was Sydney
Locke, a respected citizen and munici
pal councillor of Lockport.
The dead children are Ruby, aged
fourteen; Erminie, aged eight; How
ard, aged eleven.
Locke rose at an early hour, aud af
ter partially dressing nimself. went
to the room where his three children
were sleeping. He carried with him a
44-calibre revolver. Without a word
he placed the muzzle of the revolver
at. the head of his oldest child and
fired. The next instant he killed Er
minie, his favorite child. Howard, who
was in be u by himself, attempted to
escape, but his father was on him in
a moment, and the little fellow, too,
went down. He was fatally wounded
and died an nour afterwards.
Sydney Locke was a loving father,
but for months past he had been men
tally unbalanced.

THE WEEKLY NEWS, CARTERS v iIYLE, GA.
CHANCE FOR STRIKERS
I Newport News Shipbuilding Com
pany Invites Striking Employes
to Return to Work.
James O’Connell, president of the
International Association of Machin
ists, arrived at Newport News, Va.,
Sunday, and after addressing a meet
ing of the strikers had a conference
with W. A. Post, general superintend
ent of the NewDort News Ship Build
ing and Dry i.ock Company. He asked
Mr. Post what the company would do
to end the strike and Mr. Post inform
ed him that the company would make
no concessions whatever. Mr. O'Con
nell made no proposition, but, return
ed and reported the result of the con
ference to the strikers, who voted to
stay out until their demands are
granted.
Monday afternoon Mr. Post sent a
letter to E. J. Mulcahy, president of
the local lodge of machinists, notifying
him that any of the men applying for
work between date of letter and 7
o’clock Thursday morning would be re
employed. Those not intending to re
turn to work were notified that they
must get their tools out ol' me yard be
fore that time, as their places would
be filled and their services would be
required no longer.
It 13 believed that the invitation may
be productive of favorable develop
ments, though on the surface there is
no change in the attitude of the strik
ers.
Not Collapsed at Miiwsfeiee.
Business Agent Holmes, of the strik
ing machinists, vigorously denies the
published statement that the machin
ists’ strike in Milwaukee was about to
collapse. Mr. Holmes said that the be
ginning of the eighth week of the
strike finds only two men returned to
work. Mr. Holmes said that President
O’Connell has been under the impres
sion that the local unions were afford
ing the strikers ample support and
that President O’Connell would now
assist them with large additional sums
of money to continue the struggle.
Strikers Return to Work.
Most of the 550 machinists who went
out on strike at Water bury. Conn.. May
20th returned to work Monday and the
rest are expected to return during the
week, the strike having been declared
at. an end without concessions on the
part of .he manufacturers.
FEARFUL MORTALITY IN CHINA.
Hubouic Plague Claims Hundred Vie
tims Daily at Amoy.
Consul Johnson, at Amoy. China, re
ports to the secretary of state the ap
pearance of plague at that place two
weeks earlier than usual this year. His
statement is dated May 14th. He says
he has refused to permit Chinese steer
age passengers to depart for Manila,
and adds:
“The spread of the plague during
the past ten days has been rapid and
the fatalities most appalling, it is im
possible to give approximately accur
ate data, as the statistics are kept by
tho officials. It is my opinion, based
upon the most reliable data from na
tive sources, that during the week just
closed there were as many as one hun
dred deaths per day in Amoy and its
suburbs. The same condition of af
fairs exists in surrounding cities with
in thirty miles of Amoy.”

CAVALRY’S FINE WORK
Insurgent Leader With Large
Force Brought to Bay and
Forced to Surrender.
Manila special says: Saturday
the forces of the insurgent leader,
which have recently been operating
around Donsol, province of Sorogon,
were driven across the mountains by
the Second infantry and finally cap
tured by the Sixth cavalry. Bellar
mino, with 1,000 men and 284 guns,
surrendered to Colonel Wint? at Abay,
capital of the province of that name.
Later in the day the official an
nouncement of the surrender of Bel
larmino was made. According to this
account Bellarmino, who aas been op
erating in the province of Sorsogon,
surrendered Thursday at Legaspi, on
Albay bay, with thirty-two officers, 215
guns and 3,000 rounds of ammunition.
The insurgent presidents of that sec
tion of the country and many Filipi
nos accompanied Bellarmino, who
gave himself up to Colonel Wint, of
the Sixth cavalry. In all, since June
1,081 insurgents have surrendered in
that district. Colonel Wint’s regiment
came from China with General Chaf
fee. Before disembarking at Legaspi,
Colonel Wint went to General Chaffee
and asked the latter if he wished him
to clean up that part of the country.
General Chaffee replied:
“Yes, but I do not command until
July 4th.”
In three weeks Bellarmino was cor
nered in spite of the theories of many
officers that cavalry could not be used
in effective operations in such a coun
try.
Former Filipino officers belonging
to Malvar’s command, report that fifty
insurgents were killed and that many
were wounded by the command of
Lieutenant Manaci during a recent
two days’ fight in the province of Ba
tangas.
The Twentieth infantry has been or
dered from northern Luzon to Batan
gas.
Civil Governor Taft and Military
Governor Chaffee are working agree
ably together. Tney are holding in
formal conferences and are arriving at
mutual understandings, a state of af
fairs hitherto almost unknown.
The insurgent general, Callies, who
surrendered at Santa Cruz, Laguna
province, June 24th, and his friends
have offered to negotiate with Malvar,
the insurgent leader in southern Lu
zon, for the latter’s surrender.
DEATH CLAIMS YON lIOHEXLOHE.
Former German Imperial < lianeellor
Passes Away at. Ragafz, Switzerland.
Prince von Kohonlohe, formerly
German imperial chancellor, died at
Rugatz, Switzerland, Friday.
Prince von Hohenlohe’s death was
generally unexpected in Berlin, as he
left the city several weeks ago appa
rently in good health, although his in
creasing weakness was evident. The
prince arrived at Ragatz extremely ex
hausted. His death is attributed to the
weakness of old age.
The officials of the United States
embassy informed the correspondent
of the Associated Press that the death
of tne former chancellor as much re
gretted because of his uniform kind
ness toward Americans and American
interests.
Prince von Hohenlohe’s attitude,
through his chancellorship, was always
fair and conciliatory in regard to Ger
man-American relations. Althought he
was an extensive real estate owner, he
did not share the agrarian hostility to
ward the United States. It as cer
tainly owing in a large measure to
Prince von Hohenlohe’s friendly spirit
during several trying years that Ger
many’s relations with the United
States never departed from cordial
ity. He received many Americans and
was always friendly to them.

About Rug*.
A Pretty, cheap aud durable rug may
lie made from pieces of old woolen
carpet, prepared as follows, and wov
en on any carpet loom.
Wash and cut into strips two inches
wide; tack together and stitch through
centre with machine; ravel or fringe
the edges, leaving enough body to giv<
strength. It takes quite a good deal ol
material for a rug, and you may know
about wliat it will require by winding
tile material into wheels as you weave
about live inches if the rug is three'
fourths of a yard wide.
Ordinary carpet warp may he used
any color, as it does not show. It will
be put into tile loom the same as car
pet, except in the gear, where three
threads are put on back shaft, then
three on front, until the required mini
ber are used. About ono-lialf pouuc
of warp is required for a rug three
fourths of a yard wide and two yards
long.
Rags prepared as for carpet may Ik
used instead of old carpet, and will
make serviceable rugs, aud can lit
made quite pretty by carefully ar
ranging and blending the colors.-

Table Decorations.
One of the most satisfactory colors
to use for tali Jo decoration is rose pink
which bears the light of sun and ar
tificial lights without much change
Blue often becomes green, and viC(
versa, under the influence of gas oi
electricity. Violet changes its hue, and
yellow appears faded and pale away
from the sun. Red is a trifle dangerous
in combination and contrast, although
very cheerful and effective if used Id
winter, when warm tints are accepta
ble. Foliage green is always pleasingJ
especially in summer, when ferns arJ
obtainable everywhere outside of dtjr
limits. Large and small l'erns will
keep their fresh greenness if when
gathered they are placed one over the
other compactly on a thin piece of !
board or cardboard, and then sprinkle ■' j
or even immersed in cold water ai_fe
kept in a cool, dark place for severaK,
hours.
A pretty table decoration consists of
a circular mirror, with silver mount
ing if possible, set in the centre of a
tine white lineu cloth or pink embroid
ered centrepiece. On the mirror rests
a glass bowl, tilled with pink roses,
while a wreath of asparagus fern en
circles it, and one end is continued to
a central chandelier directly over tho
table. Candelabra of glass or silver,
holding pink candles and pink silk or I
paper shades, throw a soft glow over I
the table. —Good Housekeeping.
