THOSE GERMAN
UNIFORMS.
They Will Prove Mighty Poor
Things to Gets Votes With
FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY-
The Democrats Have Cot Majority
of Popular Vote In Six
National Elections.
(From our Regular Correspondent.)
Washington, Aug. 17, 1900.
The administration's keep-it*
dark policy has been turned on the
Chinese news this week. Every
body in Washington knows that
important news received from Min
ister Conger—so important that
Mr. McKinley returned a day
ahead of the time he had appoint
ed, but what it was is merely
guesswork, and Assistant Secretary
Adee actually had the nerve to say
that he thought the newspaper
men should refrain from guessing
at the nature of the news, lest it
might be guessed right and harm
done. According to latest advices
from the allied army, it should be
at Pekin by this time and able to
prove whether the Chinese govern
ment means war or peace —wheth-
er the foreigners in Pekin are to be
allowed to go to their friends or
are to be kept as hostages by the
Chinese government. When the
facts have been given by the press
dispatches the administration will
probably give out the official news,
unless it is calculated to reflect on
Mr. McKinley or his wobbling
policy.
Mr. H. R. Shade, who is in
charge of the German bureau at
democratic headquarters, said the
bureau was receiving many letters I
from Germans, commending Col.
Bryan’s Indianapolis speech and
announcing their intention to vote
for him because of his sturdy stand
against imperialism. Speaking of
a recent publication, Mr. Shade
said: "I notice that the republi
cans think they have a trump card
in a number of German band uni
forms, brought to Chicago from
the Fatherland by special permis
sion of the German government.
I think they will be mistaken in
the value of those uniforms as vote
getters. Instea<J of commanding
the admiration and enthusiasm of
the German voter the uniform will
remind him of the imperialism of
the fatherland, which he came to
this country to avoid.”
‘‘ln the six national elections
since Grant was president,” said
Col. J. B. Cleaver, of Tennessee,
‘‘the democrats have had a plu
rality of the popular vote four
times and the republicans but
twice. Garfield had a plurality in
1880, although it amounted to but
7,000 votes, and McKinley in 1896.
In 1876 Tilden had a plurality
over Hayes; in 1884 Cleveland over
Blaine; in 1888 Cleveland over
H irrison, and again in 1892 Cleve
land over Harrison. Because Mc-
Kinley had a plurality of 600,000
four years ago is no reason why
Bryan should not have a plurality
this year. Greater changes than
that have taken place, even years
ago when the total vote was much
smaller. In 1792 Grant had a plu
rality of 760,000, and in 1896 Til
den’s plurality was 250,000, a
change of more than a million
votes. When you stop to think
that the vote in 1896 was something
like 13,600,000, as against 6,400,-
000 in 1872, more than as much
again, it isn’t hard to believe that
Bryan has a show of wiping out
that plurality of 600,000 and him
self receiving a plurality of the
votes.”
By rejecting the three bids sub
mitted for armor plate for the new
battleships by the Carnegie, Beth
lehem and Midvale companies and
calling for new bids the navy de
partment has put off for a time the
decision which Secretary Long
was authorized to make as to
whether the extortionate prices
should be paid or a government
armor-making plant be established
with the $4,000,000 congress placed
at his disposal for that purpose.
Although the date set for opening
the new bids is October 2d, there
is reason for the belief that it is
the intention of the administration

The democratic national cam
paign committee is meeting the ef
forts of the republicans to befog
the Porto Rican question by cir
culating the proclamation issued
by Gen. Miles when he took pos
session of the island, in which he
told the Porto Ricans that the Uni
ted States forces had ‘‘come bear
ing the banner of freedom” and to
‘‘bestow upon you the immunities
and blessings of the libelal institu
tions of our government.” How
well the republican administration
and congress kept the promises of
Gen. Miles was shown by the tele
graphic news of the present week,
stating that a delegation of several
hundred starving natives from the
interior had visited the governor
begging for bread or work. The
Porto Rican chapter is one of the
most disgraceful in the record of
the republican administration in
congress and the people of this
country should not be allowed to
forget it, and will not be.
111 a letter to a local democratic
paper, denying the editorial state
ment that the negro vote was solid
for McKinley, a negro officeholder
said: ‘‘l am in a position to know
whereof I speak when I say that
Mr. Bryan will poll a larger negro
vote than ever was polled by a
democratic candidate for president.
Mr. Bryah will poll a splendid ne
gro vote in Indiana, Illinois, Ohio
and West Virginia. These are
states where the negro vote is a
factor, and where also you need
every vote you can get. In New
York he will poll 25 per cent, of
the colored vote.”
How Old are You-
Epwortli Herald.
Here is a unique and clever way
to learn the age of your friends.
Learn it by heart and try it when
you can. It will amuse your
friends and afford mathematical
exercise for yourselves.
One day there came to the court
of a king a gray-haired professor,
who amused the king greatly. He
told the monarch a number of
things he never knew before, and
the king was delighted. But final
ly it came to a point where the
ruler wanted to know the age of
the professor; so he thought of a
mathematical problem:
“Ahem!” said the king. “I have
an intetestiug sum for you. It is a
trial in mental arithmetic. Think
of the month of your birth.”
Now the professor was 60 years
old, and had been born two days
before Clir/istmas, so he thought of
12, December being the twelfth
month.
“Yes,” said the professor.
“Multiply by two,” continued
the king.
“Yes.”
“Add five.”
“Yes,” answered the professor,
doing so.
“Now multiply by fifty.”
“Yes.”
“Add your age.”
“Yes.”
“Subtract 365.”
“Yes.”
“Add 115.”
“Yes.”
“Aud now,” said the king,
“might I ask what the result is?”
“Twelve hundred sixty,” replied
the professor wonderinglv.
“Thank you,” was the king’s
response. “So you were born in
December, sixty years ago, eh?”
“Why, how in the world do you
know? cried the professor.
“Why,” retorted the king, “from
your answer—l26o. The month of
your birth was the twelfth, and the
last two figures give your age.”
“Ha, ha, ha!” laughed the pro
fessor. “Capital idea. “I’ll try it
on the next person. It’s a polite
wav of finding people’s ages.”

“No. The fact of the matter is,

WOMEN’S
SECRETS.
There is one man in the United States
who has perhaps heard more women's
secrets than any other man or woman in
the country. These secrets are not se
crets of guilt or shame, but the secrets of
suffering, and they have been confided
to Dr. R. V. Fierce in the hope and ex
pectation of advice and help. That few
of these women have been disappointed
in their expectations is proved by the
fact that ninety-eight per cent, of all
women treated by Dr. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such a
record would be remarkable if the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment of more than half-a-mil
lion women, in a practice of over thirty
vears, it is phenomenal, and entitles Dr.
Fierce to the gratitude accorded him by
women, and the honor paid him by the
profession as the first of specialists in
the treatment of women’s diseases.
Every sick woman may consult Dr.
Pierce by letter, alisolutely without
charge. Every woman’s letter which
contains her secret remains her secret.
It is read in private, answered in private,
and its contents guarded as a sacred con
fidence. That no third party should enter
into this secret, all replies are mailed,
sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, with
out any printing or advertising whatever,
upon them. Write without fear as with
out fee, to Dr. R. V. Pierce, Buffalo, N. Y.

NEGROES ATTACKED.
New York Mob After Negro Who
Killed Policeman.
New York, Aug. 15. —A mob of
several hundred persons formed at
11 o’clock in front of the home of
Policeman Robert J. Thorpe, Thir
ty-seventh and Ninth avenue, to
wreak vengeance upon the negroes
of that neighboohood because one
of their race had caused the porce
man’s death. Thorpe was stabbed
last Sunday night by several ne
groes while he was attempting to
arrest a colored woman. The man
who is said to have inflicted most
of the injuries is Arthur Harris, a
negro who came here several weeks
ago from Washington. In a few
moments the mob tonight swelled
to 1,500 people or more, andasthev
became violent the negroes fled in
terror into any hiding place they
could find. The police reserves
from four stations numbering 40
in all, were called out.
The mob of white men, which
grew with great rapidity, raged
through the district and negroes,
regardless of age or sex, were in
discrimately attacked Scores were
injured. It took the combined eff
orts of the reserves with as many
more policemen on regular duty in
the four precincts to restore order.
Clubs were used until the policemen
were almost exhausted. Revolv
ers were emptied into the air and
in one or two instances fired at the
upper stories of the negro tene
ements, from which tne negroes de
fensively threw bricks, paving
stones and other missiles.
ORIGIN OF THE TROUBLE.
The trouble grew out of the
death of Policeman Thorpe, of the
West-Thirty-seventh street station
the result of a murderous assault
by a negro early Sunday on Eigth
avenue and Forty-first street.
Thorpe was attempting to arrest a
negress when Arthur Harris and
another negro attacked the police
man with razors. He died the fol
lowing day.

! A PROCLAMATION 1
By the President of the Georgia ,
Cotton Growers Association.
In view of the fact that the cot
-1 ton season will soon be upon us,
! and many counties in the state not
having vet perfeter’ sub-branches
of the st ite as ocia i m by reason of
my utter inability to make a com-!
plete personal canvass of the state,
and properly attend to other im
portant duties devolving upon my
official position, I have deemed it
best to issue this general call for a
meeting to be held in all the coun
ties at their respectives county
sites on the first Tuesday in Sep-:
j tember for the purpose of perfect
ing sub-organizations without fur
ther delay. To that end. I hereby
call upon the farmers, bankers,
merchants, ginners, warehouse
men, and other trades and profes
sions in those counties not yet < |
ganized, to meet at their respect
ive county seats on the first Tues
day in September next, at 0
o’clock a. m., at which time t e
election of county officers can b_-
had’ and the names of members
joining the association enrolled.
The main objects and purposes of
the Cotton Growers Protective As
sociation are generally known to
our people, through its wide and
general discussion tl rmghout the
country during the past three
months. I will, however, furnish
to every county literature fully
explaining the movement, and
what we seek to accomplish by or
ganization. If the cotton growers
of the country will combine in a
determined effort to control prices
this season, we can easily secure
ten cei ts per pound for our staple.
If past methods are employed in
sale of the crop, prices will drop to
seven and may go lower. The as
sociation will throw around all
members every protection possible
in the sale of his crop. Under ex
isting condif'ons, there can be no
questisn of controlling prices this
season by united concert of action
in marketing the crop with an in
telligent idea of the true situation.
There is now a determined effort
on the part of the speculators and
spinners to depress prices at the
opening of tne season to seven
cents per pound. The world is
short of raw cotton and there is
none in sight except that which is
growing in the field. The present
crop will not yield more than ten
million bales,which not be sufficient
to supply the demand for American
cotton during the next twelve
in< nths. Let us combine and hold
back a portion of the crop, market
ing slowly; and we can command
ten cents per ponnd for our staple.
All of the cotton states are actively
agitating this movement, and many
of them will be fully organized by
the middle of September. We have
the opportunity presented, and I
call upon our people to come act
ively together on the day fixed as
above indicated, and determine to
secure a fair profit on the products
of their labor. The Georgia State
Agricultural Society in convention
at Dublin on the 9th inst. unani
mously endorsed this call for or
ganization to secure higher prices
for our cotton, and pledged their
individual and collective support
in behalf of the movement on Sep
tember 4th. The bankers of the
state have guaranteed their wil
lingness aud ab ility to advance
three fourths the value of all cot-

For 20 years Dr. Hathaway has confined his
practice almost exclusively to diseases of men,
and during that time he has restored more men
to health, vigor, usefulness and happiness thay
any ten other doctors in the country combined.
I)r. Hathaway treats and cures by a method
entirely his own. discovered and perfected bv
himself and used exclusively bv him. Loss of
Vitality. Varicocele. Stricture. Blood Poisoning
in its different stages. Rheumatism. Weak Back,
all manner of urinary complaints. Ulcers. Sores
and Skin Diseases. Brights Disease and all forms
of Kidney Troubles. His treatment for under
toned men restores lost vitality and makes the
patient a strong, well, vigorous man.
Dr. Hathaway’s success in the treatment of
Varicocele aud Stricture without the aid of knife
or cautery Is phenomenal. The patient is treat,
ed by this method at ills own home without pain
or loss of time from ousiness. This is positively
the only treatment which cures without an oper
ation. Dr. Hathaway calls the particular atten
tion of sufferers from Varicocele aud Stricture to
pages 27. 28, 2S. 30 and 31 of his new book.
F.very case taken by Dr. Hathaway Is specially
treated according to Its nature.ail under his gen

ii Iru are prepared from tho purest and bestd rugs in
hls own iaboratories under hls personal oversight.
Dr. Hathaway makes no < barge for consulta
tion or advice, either at Ins oftlce or by mail, and
when a case is taker the one low foe covers all
cost of medicines and professional services.
Dr. Hathaway always prefers, when it is possi
ble. to have his patients call on him for at least
one interview, but this Is not essential, as he has
cured scores of thousands of patients in a!l sec
tions of the world whom he lias never seen. His
System of Home Treatment is so perfected that
tie can bring about a cure as surely and speedily
as though the patient called daily at his office.

SMITH’S TRAP FOR FLIES-
He Smeared Molasses onaFan
Mrs. Smith Was a Victim.
Wilkesbarre, Pa., Aug. 16. —
There is no joy in the house ol
Smith, for flies and molasses have
separated two loving hearts and
husband and wife have had to ap
pear in court. A week ago Mr
and Mrs. Armand Smith of this
city, went to Lake Winola, where
they camped in a tent on the shore
ana enjoyed life. Mr. Smith b
bald and the humid weather of the
last few days drove many flies in ©
the tent. They saw Mr. Smith’s
tender spot and did their work.
On Monday night they dug at
the roots of where his hair used to
be so diligently that he could not
sleep. Being a man of ideas and
energy he decided that a counter
attraction was as good as a cure
and he poured a cupful of molasses
on a palm leaf fan, put it close to
his head and slept peacefully, the
flies sticking to the molasses.
All went well until daybreak
\vhen Mrs. Smith became restless.
Soon piercing shrieks awoke Smith.
He saw his wife tearing around
choking and sputtering ana with
the fan, and her hair and the mol
asses all mixed up. When he ex
tricated her she vented her anger
on him, left the tent, came to this
city and had a warrant sworn out
for him.
This morning he was taken be
fore Alderman Donohue. Hiswife
accused him of tryiug to smother
her. He told the story meekb,
The alderman said something about
the sweets of married life and ser*
them home,‘‘Come back in a week '
he said, ‘‘and if you don’t fe 1
any better, I’ll give my decision.
