eX-SENATOR THURMAN
Denounces General Henry R.
Jackson of Georgia.
HE CALLS HIM “AN OLD FOOL,’’
Cuja mbps, 0., November 6. —Judge Thur
man, lute last night, in an address to the
Thurman club, at which only members and
invited guests were present, following
words in speaking of Judge Jackson's recent
speech at Macon, Ga. He said:
“An old crank down in Georgia, by the
name of Jackson—God forgive him forbearing
that name —a disappointed politician, a man
whom Grover Cleveland recalled from he
mission to Mexico, some say because lie got too
drunk there to be of any use. Ido not know
how that is, I am not accustomed to making
personal charges, but what I do know is that
the president recalled him, and, from the day
he was recalled to this day, it is said that the
president and tho democratic party have no
more malignant enemy in the United States
than he. [Applause.] This old fool, at
a meeting at Macon a month ago,
or something like that, saw lit
to’make a speech, and declare that the doc
trine •'( secession was not dead. Why, my
frit nds, if a man can make such a declaration
as that, ami not be an idiot, or what is worse,
a mi v'hief-maker, then 1 don’t know what
idiocy and mischief-making are. The doctrine
of secession not dead! Why, whatever life it
had was killed stone dead 1 y tho civil war.
Kverybody who has the least honesty
himself must acknowledge that. Where is it
that it is alive? Where is tho necessity of
blowing trumpets, and beating drums, and
sounding bugles in the north to put down the
doctrine of secession, when the south it <elf, in
<he most emphatic and binding manner in
Which men can speak, have put it under their
feet?”
Tho judge then quoted the nnti-scccfision
articles from the constitution of Georgia and
other southern states, and said Joseph B.
Foraker was doing more for disunion by his
spec •}>( .' than all the Jacksons that ever wore
•that name ex <-r did.
AN ANHU Ell TO THE CHARGE.
Bjrmingh a i, A la., November (>.-• [Special.]
It has been < barged by cx-Senator Thurman,

AFRICAN EXPLORATIONS.

Wolf.

Dr. L tdwig Wolf, tho eminent African ex

grt at discovery that the Kassai, Sankuru, and
Ixmiatui rivers form a hitherto unknown and
excellent waterway from the Congo, a little
ftbove Stanley Pool, aboutseven hundred miles
east to tho very heart of the continent, has
been so busy w ith his explorations that ho has
not rn aldo yet to write a detailed account of
his n markable discoveries in the great region
which ho was tho first to visit. Wo have r<*-

THE WEEKLY CONSTITUTION. ATLANTA. GA., TUESDAY. NOVEMBER 8, 1887,
stroy on the Upper Sankuru, to say nothing of
the many stations of•-! .vers far up the Congo
and between that river and Lake Tanganyika.
It has a big contract on hau l if it intends to
clear its territory «»f Arab slavers.
One day when Dr. Wolf was tramping
through a forest ho suddenly < Am<- to a grassy
opening ami saw bef-.re him a large village
; of the Batua dwarfs, whom Stanley heard of
; when lie first descended the Congo, though he
’ did not see them. The e curious little crca
, t. res. who ms: rr.;d oxa large extent of
- country south of the Congo, ar - very similar
!to the Akka dwarfs whom Schwin
' furth discovered north of that
, river. They are timid little folks, and they
wouhl doub: less have run away if thej’ had seen
Dr. Wolf b< for<‘ he suddenly appeared among
them. He found tluun living in mean-look
ing grass huts. Around their village wore
many c ir fully covered jut tails, nine to twelve
feet deep, whi< h they had dug for the purpose
of cab bing any elephants, buffaloes am! wild
boars that might vent'ire out of the forest to
feed in the glassy glade where tho dwarfs
lived.
At first the dwarfs, quaking with fear,
gazed on the white man from a distance, but
finally they became quite friendly. They arc
a little over four feet high, arc coffee-brown
in color, and are well-shap< <l. They make no
attempt to cultivate the soil, but live solely
by hunting, With their bows and arrows ami
spears. Tlioy dry a good deal of meat, which
they st 11 among the neighboring tribes for In
dian corn, manioc, and other vegetable
products. Lukengo, the king of one largo
tribe, keeps quit** a number of Batua in his
service,and it is their business to provide game
and palm wine for the king’s table. Dr. Wolf
say; th-y are exceedingly skillful in the man
agement of their bows, arrows ami spears.
Tho Baluba, whom Wolf and Wissman
found about 150 miles south of the junction of
the Kasai and Sankuru rivers, are among the
gentlest and mo t intelligent people who have
been found in Afrii n. They have, however,
one exceedingly bad practice. Dr. Wolf says
that they iiave become very fond of guns
sim e trading tribes who live nearer the white
men have introduced theweapons among
them, ami they will <ll their daughters and
even their wives to procure guns
and ammunition. These people have
many excellent proverbs and maxims such
ax those: “Law is better than force,” ami
“Life is better than wealth.” They are re
garded as being, in most respects, peculiarly
amenable to civilizing influences. For all
that, they support one of the greatest native
si.)ve markets in .Africa, and Dr. Wolf says it
will take a long time and strong civilizing in
fluences la fore their devotion to the slave trade
will ci ;< -e. 'They <lo not understand that there
is an\ thing wrong in selling their wives and
children. There is this striking peculiar
itv, however, about their slave trade.
'l'hey buy thousands of slaves every
yi ar from the oth. r tribes, ami they
treat them so well that the slaves can hardly
be distinguished by a stranger from members
of the tribi*. In their export slave trade, as a
rule, they sell only troublesome individuals
v bom they are anxious to get rid of. A while
ago the people in South Baluba became very
much uissatistied with one of their chiefs,
whoM‘numerous wars with other tribes cost
the, lives of many of his subjects. They finally
decided that tho best way to get rid of him
was to sell him into slavery. They put him
up for sale in tho great slave market at Mu
kenge, and were glad to let him go for ten
goat-, which th* y killed,and divided the meat
among the rchitivcs of some of tho men who
had lost their lives in Lis battles.
When |Dr. Wolf tdd mm JBaluba chief
that he was very wrong to sell his wives, the
chief took him apart and explained to him in
confidence that tho Baluba never sold good
wives, but only trouble <*mo women whom
they could not get along with.

THE HANGING OF HART.
Opelika the Scene of a Sensa
t o la! Lynching.
SEVENTY-FIVE MASKED MEN APPEAR
Opelika, Ala., November G.—[Special.]—
George Hart, colored, who murdered young
Ed. Waldrup, mmr Waverly, ] i-,t year, w..s
taken out of jail here last night by a mob of
about seventy-live masked men, ami carried
where the crime was committed, where he was
hung. Aplacard was pinned on his back, say
ing:
“The person who cuts this man down will
suffer the same fate,”
'J HE JAIL KEYS TAKEN’.
The mob came into town about, eleven last
night, and was so orderly that no one knew
they were here until tho sheriff reported it.
When they arrived they proceeded to the jail
and demanded the keys from Sheriff Gordon.
He refused to surrender them, W’hereupon six
men overpowered him and took the keys from
him. After he saw* the true condition of af
fairs he tried to pursade them to let the law
take its course. One remarked, in response to
him, that:
“We will take tho damn law in onrown
hands and pursue the cou.rse ourselves.”
THE STATE OF PUBLIC FEELING.
Public feeling has been against tho prisoner
since his capture, so much so that the authori
ties deemed it proper to keep him in tho Mont
gomery county jail, where ho has been since
last December circuit court. He was brought
hero under a heavy guard, but there
being some flaw jn tho warrant upon which ho
was arrested, he was then carried back to
Montgomery, and kept there until last
Wednesday, when he was brought up for trial
again. His trial was to come off next week,
and Sheriff Gordon, fearing that if he waited
until then ho would be taken off at Loacha
poka and hung, had him brought so soon. His
presence here was a profound secret, and how
the neighbors of the murdered man found it
out no one Knows. The opinion is general,
both among whites and blacks, that he met tho
fate he deserved.
FRENCH, EDISON AND A GIRL.
From the Philadelphia New s.
A veteran plainsman who had met Edison
when ho was out west in 1878, tells the follow
ing story about Edison, a Philadelphia doctor
ami a chance patient of tho doctor. !le said:
“A ranchman came along on his way to
Rawlins for a doctor to see his daughter, who
appeared to have been suddenly aftlicted by
some peculiar disease, the cause ami nature of
which puzzled and alarmed the family, who
wore evidently simple and well moaning but
ignorant people. Seeing such an unusual stir
about Separation, and so manly men there, ho
stopped and asked if any among us was a phy
sician. Dr. French, of Philadelphia, was there
and volunteered to accompany the man, so ho
THE SOUTH AS IT IS.
We print this week Correspondence from Alabama
giving the status of things in that state, 'this is
written by Mr. Phinizy, of The Constitution staff,
and is the fust of a series of letters that will cover
every Southern State. Members of our staff will
be sent into every State to talk with the Governor,
the agricultural commissioner, and others as to the
social, political and industrial condition of the peo
ple. '1 hese letters will cover descriptions of the
famous horse-breeding farms of Kentucky and
Tennessee; the oyster and terrapin farms of Mo
bile ; the corn farms < f Arkansas ; the sugar plant
ations of Louisiana; the sheep and cattle ranches
of Texas; the great cotton plantations of the Mis
sissippi valley, and the unique and special groves
of Florida. We shall print about three of the let
ters ca b week, and they will give such accurate
and pictur s pre pictures of life in the south as have
never before been printed. Everything will beta
ken from official sources or from actual observa
tion. Four Constitution men will be put on the
work, and the result will be of greatest interest to
readers north or south. No such letters as these
were ever printed on the south.
climbed onto the budkboard and tho mules
wore turned rancbxvard ag?in.
“Several hours later the ductor, xvho was a i
groat believer in tho vtlic.-iey ol electricity asa |
medicinal agent, returned and described the
case to us.
“Tho girl, who was about 17 years old and |
very beautiful in a rude sort of way, had been :
standing at a sink xvashing di>hes, when she
had suddenly leaned forward and remained so,
in a kind of cataleptic condition, until her
mother (\uno4o h r. proLablx an b.<»nr L-icr.
“She had seemed all right afterward and
could not explain exactly now the had been ,
seized. Afterward, another day, the same •
thing had occurred, as she stood hanging (Hit j
clothes. She had remained xvith lu r arms up- |
lifted, in one position, till she had been brought ■
axvay and aroused. But the occasion which i
had'most seriously alarmed them, and which |
had caused the father tobringa physician, xvas |
that she had lain doxvn. and been found in this
stupid condition, from which they had failed
to arouse her.
“Dr. French had worked over her an hour
and a half before she recovered the possession
of consciousness. But ho asserted if he had
ha»l a medical electric battery he could have
restored her immediately.
“At this Edison became quite excited and
declared if he could got some old cells and a
eoil from the operator ho could provide ti e ■
nee« e ary current. So Edison rigged up a rude ;
kind of battery and xxent down xvith French
to operate on tho girl tho next time she had
uno of h< r attacks.
“Ono of the whims of the girl xvas, when ,
emerging from her cataleptic state, to gra.-p .
whatever was nearest hor‘ so as F.di>ou hap- :
poned to be there x\ ith the spango on the back
of her nock treating her to a dose of electrici
ty, she took fast hold of l im. The father saw
this and supposed the girl to be in lov<» with
tho electrician. He ami the mother talke 1
the matter ox er, and came to the conclusion
that the electrical appliance was a sort of infer
nal machine or philter by which this stranger
was winning the affection of the girl.
“ ‘See here, stranger.’ said tho man t > Edi
son, ‘lf you mean business, all right.’ Edison
bowed very gravely, hearing not a xx ord. ‘(.‘uro
the girl up and you can marry her. There's
ijfty head o’cattle you can run off and sell if
you want to. as you look mighty seedy yourself.
1 don’t suppose you’re worth a dime, air .ye .”
Edison seeming to understand that a negative
was required, shook his head at this.
“ ‘1 thought so; jest what I told my woman.
But that gal's theapnleo’ my eye, and if she
hankers after ye she’s guin’to haxe ye: and
some of them men who seem to rather like ye
if xou air a pmh ’■.-s. ran witness tho thing
and bring down a justice.’
“Again Edi mn l»uw< d.
“French then thought it was about time an
end xvas put to the business and hurried tho
telephone man off to Separation, and tho rest
of us went down and explain-, i th' situation

ohoos • al ride for their sons, and, as wives are not
chc.s< n f >r their mental but physical Leauties alone,
certainly this is the place to choose, where beauty is
quite unadorned,, and therefore of this bath wc will
speak.
I he ladles arrive, each one attended by her own
personal st .tv; nt, and another who bears a very
suLsti ntial lunch basket and a handsome gold
bordered bathing wrap. The eunuchs remain out-,
sole or go away and come I aek at the hour the bath
is ended, as it occupies several hours.
PLUMP BEAUTIES IN THE BATH.
First the ladies are divested of their clothing and
receive a crape sheet, which they drape about them
while they sit the regulation length of time in tho
first room. During this time they chat with each
other, though not very familiarly, and they keep up
tho pretense of the drajery until they
reach and pass the next room, after
wliich the Jsheet and modesty are
I oth thrown off, and with their abundant hair
streaming loose and unconfined they xvalk erect
into the last room as Eve did about the Garden of
Eilen, and here they stretch themselves out upon
tie marble slats, while two attendants rub them and
lather them and pour hot water over them antil it
seems as if they would be boiled.
Each lady is laid upon a marble slab which is
slightly inclined, and two attendants begin their
lalxrs, one at the feet and the others at the head,
and the use a sort of clay called pilo, which raises
a thick white lather, which sometimes groxvs several
inches thick. The attendants use nothing but this
soapy clay and their hands to cleanse their subjects
xvith, and they rub and knead and punch until it
seems they would reduce the flesh to a
pulp, all the while leaving this lather to
accumul tj until the bather looks like
a snow I all. Another kind of soap is used for the
hair, and another again for the face, but the latter
is always left to gather thick as the worker rubs and
toils, the prespiration rolling in streams down her
own glistening body. Sometimes those attendants
are white, sometimes black, and some of the ladies
of fbe harem are as black ns any negro in our own
country, as it is quite a common thing for a man to
make a wife of his Aby. l innian slave. These inky
ladies wear the Turkish veil as religiously as do the
white wives, and indeed the color line is not drawn
closely at all in the Orient.
Th<; Turkish bath is lighted from .the roof and
through stained glass, and the colored light falls
upon „the forms laid out beneath with beautiful
effect. A large fountain with a deep basin stands
in the middle of this room and numberless little
pipes throw off .'prays of perftimed water above the
slabs on xvhh'h the ladies Tiy like animated snow i
link--.-, kicking and s mealing when soap gets into I
their eyes or mouths, or v.hen the attend- I
nut' t 5 kle them une.\j>ectedly. A littlesilver basin
standsat hand, and after the ladies have soaked in
s->ap long enough they take qiiito hot water, entire
ly t >o hot for anybody but n Turkish woman, who
i> use<l to it, and pour it gently over them, not
dashing the w’ater.bnt softly emptying it, so that it
soon x\ ashes olf all the lather, leaving the flesh rosy
a- -1 fresh. This touring of water is continued
sometimes half an hour, and rubbing, rolling and
kneading of the body, afrer which the lady is a
liberty to plunge into the basin, if she wishes
a-noag the other laughing and frolicking women
black and white mingling indiscriminately.

NEW YORK STOCKS.
Stocks as Reported at the New York Stock
I’xcliange.
NEW YORK, November I.—The stock market
today was active, and while strong at first it yielded
at close to heavy pressure brought to bear by beat s.
There was good 1 uying by commission houses and
foreigners, wliich was specially noticeable in Van
derbilt’s Canada, Southern and Michigan Central
easily leading advance. Chattanooga also showed
marked strength and held its gain till the close.
The high figures, after a steady advance of the week,
induced considerable realization by the short wajst
cd bulls, and bears became encouraged to make a
demonstration against the list. It mado but little
progress, however, until the is u- of bank’s state
ment with its loss of two million dollars in surplus
reserve, when the selling became more marked and
the list yielded rapidly. The Northern Pacific Pre
ferred was most prominent in decline, though the
business done in stock was small, and it is alone in
showing material loss this evening. The opening
was firm at advances of small fractions, and further
fractional advances were made in the first hour,
with Vanderbilt's very prominent. The market
became more quiet toward noon and prices began
to recede. But Iti e progress was made, however,
until the issue of bank statement, which accelerated
decline and the close was a live and weak at the
lowest prices reached. The net result of today’s
trading is that ffnost stocks are lower, though the
declines are confined generally to fractional
amounts only, the only important change being the
loss of 11,l 1 , per cent in Northern Pacific Preferred.
