Rich Baronet Who Died In an Old Oarrel
Sir Henry Delves Broughton has just
died, in England, ninety-one years old.
He was one of the most eccentric
members of the baronetage. For years
he never crossed the threshold of the
bouse in which he elected to live the
life of a recluse. He passed his time
almost exclusively in the room in
which eventually he was found dead.
The cause of his death was senile de¬
cay. There was no one with him when
he died.
One of the things which seemed to
afford him especial delight was to pa¬
per the walls of bis garret ovor and
over again with pictures cut from the
various illustrated papers. A dressing
gown was his chief article of attire.
His menls were placed outside his
room at stated intervals. He had a
strong aversion to medical men, and
any business had to be transacted with
the baronet on one side and his interro¬
gator on the other side of the partly
opened door.
The rent roll of this eccentric baronet
amounted to $150,000 a year, and he
has left personality to the amount of
$750,000.— New York Press.

The Pews of Shakespeare’s Church.
“I hear from an American corre-
apondent,” says Truth, of London,
“that a number of chairs with carved
backs, purporting to be made from tha
wood of pews in the parish church at
Btratford-on-Avon, are now offered for
sale at Boston, Mass. The backs of
the chairs axe elaborately carved, and
are surmounted by a reproduction of
the Prince of Wales’ crest, and the
pharacter of the construction and carv¬
ing has suggested some doubt about
the authenticity of these relics, I
should be sorry to express an opinion
on the subject one xvay or another, but
the parish church of Stratford has
been restored and restored to such an
axtent of late years that there can be
very little left of the- original fabric
left on the spot by this time, and frag¬
ment* of It are no doubt scattered
all over the face of the earth. It may
be that some one who knows more on
the subject than I do can throw some
light on the fate of the old pews.”

0SE CERTAIN CORN CURE*
Shirks Graltl of Nolle.
The cowardiness of sharks la well
known among men who have been
much to sea In southern waters In¬
fested by man eaters. The fiercest
shark will gat out of the seaway in a
very great hurry If the swimmer,
noticing its approach, sets up a noisy
splashing. A shark is in deadly fear
of any sort of living thing that
splashes in the water. Among the
South Sea Islands the natives never go
to sea bathing alone, but always in
parties of half a dozen or so, in order
that they may make the greatest hub¬
bub in the water, and thus scare the
sharks away. Once in a while a too
ventureome swimmer among the na¬
tives foolishly detaches himsei- from
his swimming party and momentarily
forgets to keep up his splashing. Then
there Is a swish, and the man eater
comes up beneath him like a Hash and

EX-GOYERNOR NORTHEN SETS BOSTON AGOG
Georgian Speaks In Joint Dsbate With a Colored Bishop On the
Situation of the Negro In the South,
IT WAS AN UNUSUAL ADDRESS AND AN UNUSUAL SCENE
Papers of the “Hub” and the Press of New York Comment On the
Affair-Boston Made To Wince.
Fifteen hundred members and
friends of the Congregational Club
gathered in Tremont Temple at Bos¬
ton, Mass., Sunday night to listen to
a most unusual discussion between
ex-Governor Northen and Bishop Ben¬
jamin W. Arnett on “The Present Sit¬
uation as to the Colored People of the
South.”
It is doubtful if such a scene was
ever witnessed before on any platform
in this country. The gray-haired ex¬
governor pleaded the cause of “the
white man’s burden” in the section
from which he came, while the vener¬
able colored bishop pleaded the cause
of “the black man’s bnrden.”
Both were unable to say all they in¬
tended to, owing to lack of time. Ex-
Governor Northern delivered only
about one-half of his carefully prepar¬
ed speech, and even then occupied
two hours, leaving barely twenty min¬
utes to the bishop in which to reply.
In the beginning of his speech ex-
Governor Northern said:
“I not here 4 to apologize , for the ..

south. The south has her ills, her
sms and her crimes What section
has not? The south has had and w, 11
have violent shocks to her civilization,
Vvhat section has not? The south has
had her sorrows, God knows they
have been grievous and hard to be en-
dured.
“Whenever the south finds an
government without sm; a people per-
feet in aw and perfect in its enforce-
ment, the south will do its respectiul
obeisance and ask to be led into its
broader civilization and its better
power. ’Till then, and not ’till then,
we shall stand abreast of all other
sections, claiming as broad a civiliza-
tion as any, and challenging those
without sin to cast the first stone at
US.”
Boston Was Stirred.
Monday’s dispatches states that th
people of Boston are showing deep in¬
terest in the address of former Gov¬
ernor Northen, and it is the general
verdict that the citizens have never
be f 0 re had such an exhaustive state-
meut of the attitude of the south on

| Although necessarily restricted as
to time, Bishop Arnett, who was to
speak for the negro, held the close at-
teution of the audience and as he
closed was given a hearty handshake
by ex-Governor Northen.
Several prominent clergymen of Bos-
ton discussed the address Monday,
house, who said:
“The ex-governor evidently tried to
give the impression that the colored
man is the only offender; thathe has a
monopoly of the heinous forms of
crime which is at the bottom of the
greater part of the lynchings. If that
is the idea he desires to convey I stamp
it as false. I had occasion to visit the
south a short time since and I truth-
fnlly say that the black man has more
ground for complaint on this score
than the southern white man.”
Bev. Dr. Edward A. Horton said:
“I think that ex-Governor Northen
lias greatly exaggerated the true sen¬
timent in the south. I believe, how¬
ever, that the judges and these true
white citizens of the south daplore the
lynching methods.”

Press Comment.
In commenting on the speech the
Boston Journal says: “The case of the
negro nsver lacks recognition in Bos¬
ton and in Massachusetts and it was
well that the Congregational olnb, lis-
tening Sunday night to the speech of
'
Ex-Governor _ ^ Northen, T of . r* Georg.a . on
the lyncnmg evil, heard the other
side. For there are emphatically two
sides to this question. Nothing could
be more unjust and unfortunate than
indiscriminate criticism of the south
for a form of lawlessness which its
least and soundest public sentiment
deplores as profoundly as lhe north
does. To a very large degiee Ex-
Governor Northen was justified in his
complaint last night that the policy of
the press of the north in condemning
simply the lynching* while they main-
tam an ominous and painful silence
about the crimes that provoke them,
is incendiary in the extreme, as it en-
courages negroes to a repetition
“Besides the long list of political
m^Rlers, there are scores °f instates
, „f the lynching of black men for theft
0 r for using profane language con-
strued as disrespec.tiul There are
not lacking examples of the s aying of
j negroes because they were obnoxious
0 n general principles. In so far as
ex-Governor Northen s speech iails to
\ j meet this point, it fails of its complete
purpose. Nevertheless, it is fortunate
for a.l concerned that he has
| here and has spoken. He has given
us the southern side of this acute
; question, and say what it will we must
never forget that the whole southern
j people are our friends and brethren
born of our bone and flesh. We have
no right to chide them in a Pharisaical
spirit, and we can accomplish nothing
by attempting it. The problem which
they have is a terribly grave one, and
they deserve not our condemnation,
but our sympathetic co-operation, and
they must have it.”
Made 'Boston Wince.
Special dispatches from New York
say that ex-Governor Northen made
Boston wince in his speech before the
Congressional club in Tremont Tem¬
ple. He lashed the negro sympathizers
well, and practically pronounced “Un¬
cle Tom’s Cabin” a tissue of lies.
The New’ York Press of Monday
morning, the most anti-southern paper
published anywhere in the north, has
this to say on Governor Northen’s
speech:
“The importance of the address de¬
livered in Boston was doubly signifi¬
cant. That city was the parent of the
anti-slavery agitation. It was in New
England that the fires against the
practice w r ere fanned into white heat
by Harriet Beecher Stowe’s book,‘Un-
j cle Tom’s Cabin.’ It was there that
William Loyd Garrison, Wendell Phil-
i lips aud others flrst made the fight,
which eventually resulted in civil war.
: Boston, a typical northern city, always
j has been the center of agitation in fa-
vor of the negro,
: ‘Since the burning of Sam Hose at
tests and condemnations of the south,
and Georgia in particular. Many of
the resolutions and speeches have been
as intemperate as the wildest imagina-
tions of those in the south. Therefore
the speech of ex-Governor Northen
answering these criticisms was so sig-
nificant that it attracted the attention
of all advanced thinkers.
“Some of the points made by the
southern speaker iu his augumenta-
tive and impassioned speech caused
his hearers to wince. Critical Boston
does not like to be criticised, and
when the speaker practically said that
‘Uncle Tom’s Cabin’ was a lie, made
out of the whole cloth, there was sad-
ness and mutterings, for Mrs. Stowe
is one of the idols of the Puritan

I LYNCHING IN MEXICO.
| A Posse Hanged Three Negroes and
Shot Four Flore.
There is great excitement in the
town of San Dialo, Mexico, over the
■ lynching of several colored laborers of

and in company with nine others, was

prove the guilt of any of the negroes,
but banged three of them and shot
four more who were trying to escape.

CELEBRATED AT PORT TAflPA.
Festivities Occur In Honor of Queen
Victoria’s Birthday.
The greatest day in the history of
Port Tampa, Fla., was that of the
celebration of Queen Victoria’s eigh¬
tieth birthday Wednesday.
The shipping in the harbor was gay
j with its dressing of flags aud pennants
and throughout the town was a liberal
! display of flags, ‘"bunting and floral
(decorations. The flags of the two
nations taking part in the ceremonies,
the British and the American, were
floated from every point of vantage.
The most striking feature of the dec¬
oration was a triumphal arch, display¬
ing the British lion and the American
eagle. Iu one paw the lion grasped
and American flag and in one claw the
eagle waved the British colors, the
entire arch being twined with Ameri¬
can, British and German flags.
The most dramatic incident of the
occasion was the unveiling of a large
portrait of Queen Victoria. The por¬
trait was draped in the flags of the
two countries. At the hour of noon
in the capitol at Albany, N. Y., Gov¬
ernor Theodore Roosevelt touched an
| electric button, picture the covering and fell marines, from

ARE GOOD GUNNERS.
The Georgia Naval Militia Makes a
Splendid Record.
Lieutenant S -utberland, in charge
of the naval militia, has received a
preliminary report on the work done
by the Georgia naval militia during
the recent cruise of the Prairie, which
inaugurated the scheme of summer
cruises along the coast.
It shows that the work of the re¬
serves was particularly good, in view
of the fact that they had never before
been to sea or had the use of a govern¬
ment ship. That their gunnery was
good is shown by their smashing one
of the targets.

BIRTHDAY OF QUEEN
Is Celebrated Fittingly By
Her Loyal Subjects.
IS NOW EIGHTY YEARS OLD
Telegrams of Congratulation Are
Received At Windsor From
All Parts of the World.
A London special says: Torrents
of rain ushered in Queen Victoria’s
eightieth birthday Wednesday. At
Windsor, where a general holiday was
observed, the town was decorated with
flags and the church bells were rung
at 7 o’clock in the morning.
The weather cleared at about 11
o’clock and a serenade by the Windsor
and Eton Amateur Choral Societies
was given in tbe grand quadrangle of
Windsor castle. The sun then shone
brilliantly. The serenade was listened
to by the queen and the members of
the royal family.
The Eton college volunteer cadets
marched into the castle grounds,
headed by a baud of music, and took
up a position iu the rear of the choir.
Behind the cadets were drawn up the
rest of the Eton boys and the military
knights of Windsor. The mayor and
corporation of Windsor, in their full
robes of office, and the boroug magis¬
trates were also present.
The scene was extremely pictu¬
resque. ,Thev all sang the national
anthem and then the choir gave the
program. Finally the Eton boys gave
three lusty cheers in honor of her ma¬
jesty. looking be in
The queen herself, to
excellent health, came forward and
bowed repeatedly. Sir Walter Parrott
and the mayor of Windsor were intro¬
duced to the queen and handed her a
beautiful floral harp. Her majesty
afterwards knighted the mayor, J. T.
Soundrv.
Decorations Were Profuse.
Although the official birthday postponed cele¬
brations in London were
until June 3, all public buildings,
many business houses and a great
many private residences were deco¬
rated. In fact, more flags were flying
than at any tijne since the queen’s
jubilee. in order
Birthday celebrations were
throughout tbe provinces. The ships
in the different ports were dressed for
the occasion and the warships were
covered with hunting. At Portsmouth
there were reviews of the regular
troops, volunteers and naval brigades,
and the same ceremonies occurred at
various arsenals and garrison towns.
A telegram from Simla, the summer
capital of British India, recorded that
impressive queen’s birthday services
there were attended by tbe viceroy of
India, Lord Curzon Kedlestoue and
the Indian and military officials in full
dress. Royal salutes were fired.
Queen Plants a “Sapling.”
During tbe afternoon the queen
planted an oak sapling on the east
lawn of Windsor castle. She was as¬
sisted in the planting by the duke of
Saxe-Coburg aud Gotha, All the
members of the royal family witnessed
the ceremony.
A pretty incident was the presenta¬
tion to the queen by each of her grand
and great-grandchildren now at the
castle of a tiny bouquet of flowers.
Banquets and receptions were given
by the British ambassadors and minis¬
ters at all the leading capitals in
Europe in honor of the day.
The birthday banquet given at the
Hotel Cecil at nigh was attended by
members of tbe American society in
London. Lord Roseberry, who pre¬
sided, referred to the American guests
as “representing a great common¬ Brit¬
wealth of states once part of the
ish empire, but now nearer than any
country except the colonies. ”
Colonel Taylor, of the society, in
responding paid a tribute to the queen
and read cablegrams that had been re¬
ceived from citizens of Tampa, Fla.
His speech brought out a further re¬
sponse from Lord Roseberry after -
which the orchestra played “Hail Co¬
lumbia,” amid a lively demonstration.
