Within three weeks I was was much better. In three weeks I had taken the three bottles of Tonic and was fully well. Took no other medicine then nor since, and am in better health and heavier than for the phst fifteen years. J.

"The startling facts revealed by the census show that those who can read and write are more criminal than the Illiterates, which Is true of no other element or our population. I am ad vlsed i that the minimum Illiteracy among tho negroes Is found In New England, where it Is 21.7 per cent. The maximum Is found In the black belt—Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, where It Is 65.7 per cent. And jet the negro In New England is four and one-half times more criminal, hundred for hundred, than he Is in the black belt. In tho south. Missis slppl particularly, I know he Is grow Ing worse every year. You can scarce ly pick up a newspaper whose pages are not blackened with the account of an unmentionable crime committed by a negro lu-iito, and this crime I want to Impress upon you Is hut Toe manifestation of the negro's aspiration for social equality, encouraged large ly by the character of free education In vogue In the state is levying tri bute upo nthe white people to main tain- “The older class of negroes are not responsible for this terrible condition or tor the criminal tendency of thel. race. Nor do 1 wish to he understood as censuring them for It. I am not confuting anybody, nor am I inspired by Ill-Will for the negro, buL I am simply railing attention to a most un fortunate and unendurable condition of affairs. What shall be done about it? Surely something must ho done M.v own Idea Is that the character ol education for the negro ought to bt changed. ,If. after years of earnest effort and the expenditure of fabulous sums of money to educate his head we have only succeeded In making a criminal out of hint and imperiling hi; usefulness and efficiency as a labor er, wisdom would suggest that we Hake another experiment and see 11 we cannot improve him by education of his hand and his heart. There must ba a moral sub-stratum upon which to bnild, or yon cannot make a de slrable citizen." Tho governor also declares that the people of the nation should rise up and demand the repeal of the fifteenth amendment Pope Issue* Order. Rome, Jan. 20.—The pope has issued a personal order transferring the elec- tio’n of bishops who do not depend on the propaganda from the special com- mis-yion of cardinals to the congrega- ttan of the holy office of which the ‘ *e orefect Five hundred persons have narrow ly escaped being burned to death In a fire which destroyed the 6-story Co lonial apartment building. There were no fire escapes on tho structure and tho fire started under the Btalrway, caused by a live wire, A number of women had ralnted or were overcome by smoke when the fire reached them. The elcvatqr op erator deserted his post, but Albert McCarthy, a porter, rushed Into the building and operated the lift. He succeeded In carrying many person* to the ground floor before being drlv-l en out. EASTERN SITUATION, STATUSJF AFFAIRS Japan’s Note Has Not Helped Optimistio Views. FAILURE JAPANESE DIPLOMACY. Great Irritation Is Said To Be Felt In St. Petersburg—Russia More In Fear of United 8tates Than Great Brit ain. New York, Jan. 18.— Private dis patches from Ut. Petersburg Indicate, eays a Time* dispatch frqjp Parte, that the Japanese note baa not helped to fortify optimistic anticipations. As long as there was room for fur ther negotiations, Russian diplomacy helped Russia to gain time. But Ja pan, having given a final answer to the latest Russian note, will not. It Is expected, wait Indefinitely for a deci sion on Russia's part. There Is said to bo a great deal of Irritation In St. Petersburg over the failure of Japanoso diplomacy. It is recognized tbgt the conclusion of tho Chinese-Amerlcaa treaty has material ly affected Russia's prestige. It Is reported that Russia stands in greater fear at tho present moment or tho United -Slates than of Great Brit ain. Another source of chagrin is tho In different attitude of Prance. CZAR’S AS8URANCE. NON UNION I8TS ATTACKED. Miners Assailed While Returning from Work at Coal Creek. Knoxville. Tenn., Jan. 19.—A special to The Sentinel from Brlceville, Tenn., says: A number of nonunion coal miners, while returning from Coal Creek last night, wore attacked by a party of men. and four were badly hurt. The worst injured man's name Is unknown. The three others are: Tnto Smith, of Cross Mountain. William Love, of Crors .Mountain. Allen Wallace, of Coal Creek. The men who were attacked were employes In the mines of the Tenner- see Coal company and the Cross Mountain Coal company. Empress Indisposed. Berlin.

The exclu- *° r ,h " P urp ° 8e - slon of ladles from tonight’s drawing room because of the empress’ Indispo sition has caused Intense disappoint ment on the part of the many women of distinction who have come from the province or other countries for pre sentation. Intends To Do AM In His Power to Maintain Peace. Bt. Petersburg, Jan. 18.—The czar's •asurance, given at the winter palaco Jan. 14 on the occasion of tho new year s reception that be desired and Intended to do all In hla power to maintain peace In the Par East, la re garded by the foreign diplomats as • hostage given to the world for tho preservation of peace, while the guar antee that Russia will recognise the open ports and other concession* in Manchuria will. It Is thought, place tho onus of a rupture on Japan. Most or the new- -rs here join in the peaceful cheiii- --e paper remark ing that it was strange for Russians to first hear the czar's words by way of America. The Novoe Vremya, referring to the reports or the offer of good offices from tho United States, Franco and Great Britain asks: "Is such action necessary when the world has been Informed on what his majesty has graciously been pleas ed to say to the diplomats at the win ter palace? How Is It possible to render further service to tho cause of peace after th eczar has announced that he will do all In his Influence to maintain It?" A more precise guarantee that Rus sia will not draw tho sword. It Is Im possible to conceive. As a sidelight on the situation, the Moscow Gazette announces that Its ed itors and other employes are donating their salaries to the purchase of a swllt privateer, and adding that the sum of $26,000 already has been raised Algxleff to Move Headquarter*. New York. Jan. 20.—It Is reported here, says • Herald filspatch from Che Foo, that the Russian viceroy, Ad- mfral Alexleff, Is preparing to remove hla headquarters to Harbin, a tows on tha Manchurian railway, where the line branches off to Port Arthur on JAPANESE BANKS CL08INQ. Russian Occupation of Sin Min Tun Is Reported. Port Arthur, Jan. 18.—The Japan ese banks are rapidly elostng up their accounts In Manchuria and ore stopl lug business. Japan Is seeking for agents in Manchuria and Coras to sup ply the government with information as to the Russian movements In view of the hurried departure of the Japan ese resldeate.
