Booker T.

Archbishop Ireland says that in a recent audience with the Pope he was assured that the Holy Father was well pleased with the relations of the American Government to the Church in Cuba and the Philippine Islands, a spirit of justice peryading them. At a street fair, held in Montgom ery on Friday last, Gen.

They may elect Bryan without the Empire State, but with New York, they would give him an overwhelming popular and electoral majority. The Anthracite coal miners have won a satisfying victory and they have won it by deserving it. The strike has been most creditably con ducted, but not even good general ship would have availed to enforce demands that were not just. The miners had public sympathy on their side, and they scrupulously abstain ed from any action that would for feit it. The justice of their cause, the wise judgment of their leaders and their own good conduct thus com bined to command for them success. We are glad that the strike in the coal regions or Pennsylvania is set tled, and we are glad that the miners have secured an increase in wages We are glad also that the strike was attended with so little of disorder. Some small boy out in Ohio threw a stone which hit Colonel Roosevelt on the head during one of those tur moils which the roystering New Yorker loves so dearly to be in the thick of, and afterwards in speaking about it the colonel said he had not been injured at all. Theu he added: "Had I been feeling in low spirits I might have felt the pain from the blow more than I did." Now how can Roosevelt possibly know any thing about this or even guess at it? He has never, for a moment, in all his lif e been low spirited, and ' has never been able to find the time to investigate such a womanish phe nomenon in others. It takes a man of much finer feeling than Roosevelt to , feel low spirited, a man who is occasionally conscious, though even dimly, of his own limitations. Who ever heard of a toy Jack.in-the-box being low spirited anyway? THAT JOYFUL FEELING With the exhilarating sense of re newed health and strength and internal cleanliness which follows the use of Syrup of Figs, is unknown to the few who have not progressed beyond the old-time medicines and the cheap sub etitutes sometimes ottered but never accepted by the wsll-loiorraedi YOUTSEY GUILTY.

Charles Dudley Warner Dead. Hartford, Conn., October 20. Charles Dudley Warner died sud- dealy Jale this afternoon, leaving Mark Twain the only eurviver of the trio who gave Hartford a lit erary reputation. Mr. Warner this afternoon took luncheon at the house of A. C Dunham, with the Rev. Joseph H. Twitchell, Miss Harmony Twitchell, Senator Hawley and Colonel Frank W. Cheney. He was in the best of spirits. After luncheon he went to the office of the Hartford Courant, of which he was editor, and from there to the house of Bobert Smith, a negro, in whose family Mr. Warner took much interest, fre quently giving them books and assisting them. He complained of illness and laid down, asking to ba awakened in ten minutes. When the ten min utes were up he was dead. The medical examiner decided that neart disease was the cause of death. Mr. Warner was 71 years of age. He leaves a wife and one brother, George H. Warner, en gaged in literary work, who is married to a sister of William Gillett. THE SOUTHERN INDUSTIAL CONVENTION. Philadelphia Times. The business men of the South are becoming as practical as they are energetic. They have countless sources of undeveloped wealth to invite not onl the money of the capitalist but the labor of the wage-earoer; aud they bare lately been organizing tnd perfecting practical method to hasten their industrial nd commercial achieve ment. The most effective agent now employed in the South to develop her industries and trade is the Southern Industr al Convention, and it has become a fixed institu tion. Its existence has been brief, but it meets semi-annuaily, and each mooting of the body has in creased its numbers, widened its influence, sod to- day it can point to positive achievement in quick ening Southern development. The next meeting of tbe South ern Industrial Convention will open at New Orleans on the 4th of December, and it promises to to be one of uncommon interest. Official invitations from the gov ernor of the State to tbe officials and proauGeut business men of the country have b en issued, 'in viting the co-opera tio a and the sending of delegations of busi ness men to personally icvesfci- gate the vast resources of the South. Instruct1 ve addresses will be delivered by thoroughly ex perienced men on the leading in dus'riil interests and the advance ment of the Southern States, and a nuniet of prominent men from the North and South are acnoune ed as speakers. This industrial Convention should attract not only the atten tion of our busina3S men gener ally in the Njrth, but it should especially command the atten tion and co operation of the bus. iness men of Philadelphia. They have been slow t-o raap the rich fruits from the South which are offered to them, but now that our city has reestablished steamship connections with the Southern ports, our merchants and manu facturers should follow it up to attain closer connection with the South; and the best way to do that would be to send a strong delegation not only from our city but from other portions of the State, to attend the New Orleans Convention ou the 3rd of Decem ber. The South is today the most inviting field of the world for legitimate employment of both capital and labor. Philadelphia with her large surplus wealth and her experienced and practi. cal business men should be in the front rank of those who aid Southern development and gather the rich fruits which that devel opment must bring to those who take the lead in the great" work. Let Philadelphia and Pennsylva nia both be well represented m the Southern Convention. KILLED IN FOOTBALL GAME A Bingham School Student Dies From Injuries Received. Sat urday. Asheville, Oct. 21. William Dougal Price, of Palestine, Texas, a student at Bingham School, died this afternoon of io juries received in a football game yesterday af- l ternoon al 5:30, ANGLO-GERMAN AgreementTerritorial Integri ty of China, It is Said, To Be Preserved. London, Oct, 21. Following is official statement given out here as to the ag-eemsnt be tween Germany and England to preserve tha integrity of China, as was &gieed upon last Tues day between Lord Salisbury and Count von Hazfeld1-, German Ambassador to Eagland. "Tbe German government and and Her British Majesty's gov ernment being desirous to main tain thsir interests iu China and their rights under existing treat ies, have agroad to the following principles regarding a mutual pcliey iu Chine.: ''First, it is a matter of joint permanent international interest that tbe port3 on the rivers and littoral of Chica should remain free and open to trade and to every other legitimate form of economic activity for th9 peo ples of all countries without dis tinction, ,asd the two govern ments agrdeon their part to up hold the same for all Chinese territory as far as they can ex- erc'se innsnce. "Second, both governments will not on their part make use of tha praseut complications to obtain for themselves any terri torial aivantasra in Chinese do minion, and will direct their policy toward maintaining un diminished the territorial condi- lon of the Chinese Empire. "Third, la case of another power making use of the com plications in China in order to ob tain under any form whatever such territorial advantages, the two eontracting parties reserye to themselves the right to come to a preliminary understanding regarding the eventual step to be taken for the protection of their own interests in China. 'Fourth, the two governments will communicate this agree ment to the other powers inter ested, especially Austria-Hungary, France. Italy, Japan, Rus sia and the United States and invite them to accept the princi pies recorded in it." JOHN SHERMAN DEAD The Great Republican No More- Death Yesterday Morning Washington, Oct. 22. Ex-Sen ator John Sherman died early this morning. His family was at his bedside all night, The attack from which the aged statesman died took the form of a general collapse, in part due to the gen eral debility incident to old age, and to the effects of the serious illness Twhich he suffered while on a trip to the West Indies two years ago. He never fully recov ered from that illness. A man will walk four blcc'is out of his way to shun a man he owes fifty cents. The more a man blows his own horn the le3s there is to blow about. Conversation at a reception is about as intelligent as Sanscrit screed, The wages of sin is death and the laborers are never idle. China continues to break out in gome more new places every day A man is like the moon when he has reached his last quarter . STEVENSON'S ESTIMATE.
