VOL. XXIII. WELDON, N. CM THURSDAY, AUGUST 11, 1892. NO. 19 EAMTtiltX DYNAJliTKKS. A STAltTtJNll UKIMIHT COMES UY THK WAY (IF 1IOSTO.V Jlnfriyh CV.We. The Boston Republican says: In a deserted putt of Cambridge, there has becu nutieod lor tbo past two or throe Sut -days a number of colored tuen, well known members of several secret societies in Boston unl Cambridge, with their heads close together earnestly discussing what seemed to lie a very serious matter. They have been closely watched, but nothing could be learned ubout the mys terious meeting and its object. The thread which the Republican reporter got hold of was as fine and tilmy as one of the parts of a spider's web Imt he fol lowed it up elosaly as best he could and this is what he found. It is a fact that there are in the cities of Cambridge and Boston, colured men who have been taking lessons from Socialists and Russians how to make dynamite, bombs and othor explosives. The things has been going on for weeks and the families of these men have known nothing about it. They have taken tin oath which runs somewhat after this order: ''We pledge ourselves that in case any ni' our number should fall in the hands of the white tyrants of the South while elided in the holy cause of righting our wrongs, we shall never pait our lips as to our number, strength, names or what wo propose to do. That we will willingly die first, even though the death bo the nicst horrible, rather titan divulgo any thing which we hold to be sacred and inviolable, so help me God." This shows that these men mean bus iness, and that they are made of the right kind nf material. The Republican repicvntative resolved to ferret out one of these men, at least, and after traveling about town and Cambridge for five hours got the track of one. He was unwilling at first to say anything, but on being as sured that his name and identity would be with-'.teld from the public for the time being, he answered the questions put to him. Among other things, he said: "Yes we tiro all supremely in earnest and will accomplish what we have in mind. We shall return to the South where we were born, and have ruado up our miuds to do what all oppressed races and people have found it necessary to do, namely, to rid themselves of tyrants and despots. Wo arc determined that this lynching hanging and other outrages shall ha stopped." "Are you going to take any colored meu in the South into your confidence?" was asked. "Yes, sir, we are. There arc colored men nattered all over the South who are interested in the movement. I should really like to give you the names of the places where they are, but of course it would not do. You can put it down as a settle and established fact, that' a Wee number of colored meoin the South have made up their minds to give up their lives iu order to secure, the rights that beloug to them." ''Do you nnd your associates purpose to start light in and make dynamite and bombs, and if ho, take it South without being discovered?" ''Yes, the plan is to got light at it. Wo have no time to loose. So far as taking it South, that is casly done. There Is not. in much danger iitt ached to it as is generally supposed. I think " is pnittcneo to say nothing more at present. Tha country will hear from us by and by." Ak Your ! r lends Who have ti ken Hood's Sarsaparilla what they think of it, and the replies will be positive in its favor. One has been cured nf indigestion nnd dyspepsia, ' an other finds it indispensablo for sick head ache, others report remarkable cures of scrofula, salt rheum and other blood dis eases, still others will tell you that it overcomes "that tired feeling" and so on. Truly, the best advertising which Hood's Sarsiipnvilla roeeivon is the endorsement nf the, arrov of friends it has won by : its positive medicinal merit. ItKDHl'US AM DISKASH. J A NEW AMI STAUTUNU THEORY AS Til T11K HEVKI.fip.MKNT oK TniKUCUI.O- The recent publication of a nmp of N"w Haven showing the number of deaths from tuberculosis in the past fourteen years to be about ;j,(l(IO and indicating that there are what may he called tuber culosis districts in the city, makes the general subject of tuberculosis and its propagation a matter of present interest. The theory of Dr. DeFossct, who pro pared the map, is, we believe, that there arc certain houses in the tenement house districts that are favorable to the spread of this disease. Deaths from it have oc curred there ami are likely to occur again. Infected houses are a means of spreading the disease. Rut has the doctor any knowledge as to whether any of tin S3 houses which he has maikeJ with numerous piu points us the homes of tuberculosis are infected with bed bugs? The question is not so irrevalcnt as it may appear. The Medi cal News, in a recent number, copied from a German medical journal the tn- port oi the ease or a uoy eigntecu years old who had developed pulmonary tuber eulosis after having slept with a brother who had died of the disease. The third brotlur with whom the seeoud had slept, had likewise died of tuberculosis They presented numerous bed bug bites, and it was learned that the bed in which he slept contained a large number of tbo parasites. Thirty of these were taken and used in the inoculation of three guinea pigs, all of which died of tuberculosis. Cultures of tubercle bacili were also ob tained from the diluted and filtered pulp of fifty of these bu rs. Cultures were also obtained from bugs taken from healthy surroundings and brought into coutact with tuberculous sputum. The bugs become infected directly from human beiugs, or indirectly through tho medium of the expectoration, or by transmission from one animal to another. The trans mission of tuberculosis from the bui's to the human beings remains an open ques. tiou; but the probabilities point very strongly toward the possibility of infec tion in this maimer. , This may be worth looking into. It may be that it is less bedbugs that New Haven's tenement house district wants, not more veutiiation or better drainage, The bed bug is notorious for the way be gets there, and he may bo at the present time inoculating hundreds of uususpect iDg New Haveners with the deadly di.- ease. luebeu bug must go. For it must be remembered that where as The Junebug has the wings of gold, The lightning bug the flume, The bedbug has no wings at all, But be gets there just the same. LIFE, HEALTH AND STRENGTH.

HOW IT ItUKNEl) lll.UK AND SIZZLED AND SMELT 01' ALCOHOL. St. Louis Globe- Democrat: I was present at the autopsy nf a noted old romderoftuy town a few weeks ago," said John A. Holliday, of Troy, N. Y. at the Lindell, "and I was startled and shocked at what I saw. The dead man was about sixty years and had been the town drunkard for forty years. The doctors had surmised that when they cut his brad open a pronounced smell of alcohol wonld issue from the skull. I thought it only one of that grim sort of jokes that the .Ksculapians indulge in sometimes when they are carving a fellow-man to uiiueeiueat in the interest of their science. But I soon learned that it was no joke for when the surgeon's saw had cut off the man's skull the odor of alcohol that filled tho room was strong enough to almost sicken one. Then one of the surgeons struck a match and held it close to the brain. Immediately a blue flame enveloped the entire portion of the cerebral organ exposed, and the quivering flosh sizzled as if on a grid iron. That experiment and disclosure set mo to very seriously thinking about the error of my way. I am not a tem perance lecturer nor a prohibition poli tician, but I must most respectfully aud firmly decline your invitation to have something. I don't want my brain to float around in a sea of alcohol, as did that of the poor old town drunkard of Tny. There is no telling how many other men s brains will reveal the same condition if au autopsy is held upon them." CHANGING XAMtiS. Speaking of changing one's name the Chattanooga Tutus says: It is alleged that Mr. Whitelaw Reid, who was bap tized Jacob Whitelaw, dropped the tmt name Jacob because it had a plebeian sound, or because it was a Jewish name. Roth ideas are probably nousensieal, as tho Jewish Standard asserts them to be. Mr. Reid shortened his name, and in that was wise. He is by no means the first man whose uame hail been changed or modified before it appeared on a Presi dential ticket. Henry Wilson, so-called, Vice Presidential candidate with Grant in 18G8, was baptized Jeremiah Jones Colbath; he changed it at the a of sev entecn, by authority of the Massachusetts Legislature. His chief on the tieketwas christened Hiram I'lysses, and it was changed by the Congressman who secured him a eadetship at West Point to Ulysses Simpsou, ho having forgotten the lad's name; but knowing it was double, and that his mother was a Simpson, ventured on writing it I'lysses Simpson in the letter of appointment. The young man adopted the new cognomen, and wore it through life. The matter of a name isn't of much consequence. Character, uot name "goes" io this free and easy eoun try."

The commssiouers were in session discussing the second hand clothing business when a message was brought to our honorable mayor, Mr. R. B. ISritt, that a little stranger wished to see him at home. Ul course the happy father left immediately without even adjourning tho meeting only saying, "I am going, you all can stay as long as you want to." Dr. John A. Collins, one of the commissioners, said: Me too." Ho wanted to know the weight of the little one, so he also left.

And be sides, look at the danger. M. LITTLETON. Crops in this section are good and our farmers are io very good spirits iu conse quence thereof. We hate very much indeed to chroni cle the death of the late J. R. Moore, a native of this county, who recently moved to Petersburg and then to Baltimore. We learn that bilious fever was the cause of his death. Our sympathies go out to the bereaved family, relatives and friends. Politics, baseball and picnics seem to be the topics of the day. Our people seem to be very divided as to politics. Some favor the old patriotic Democratic party; some are for tho Alliance, etc. We heard a man of the Third party say that if tho Democrats remained in power ten years the poor man would not be allowed to vote. This was a good argument for the colored people many years ago, but we think it out of date now to talk that way to an enlightened people. It seems strange that out of a rotten party, as some of the brethren call the Democrat iu party, they can make a good ont a difference in opinion. W. M. S. RINGWOOD. Mr. W. P.
