"The Leopardfs Spots
A Southern ItRorriance
The Citizen Will Tomorrow Begin Publication
of the Novel Just Completed by
Thomas Dixon. Jr.
The Citizen tomorrow begins the
publication of what has been styled
the most dramatic story ever written
about the South" "The Leopard's
Spots," a romance of the white man's
burden (1865-1900) by Thomas Dixon.
Jr.
This is an unusually strong and vi
rile tale of the South, showing in the
most vivid and dramatic way the ter
rible struggle for existence and the
.blind groping for light which has been
her let since the war of 't6, and no
reader of the paper can afford to miss
a single installment of it.
The Southern side of reconstruction
and of the race problem is dramatically
set forth in the story.
It begins with the return of a wound
ed Confederate soldier from the Appo
mattox and it ends with the present
-on. ill, tr- ,'t;natton of a southern
-( .; h .- hire authority.
.' ;I i;i" intermediate history is deft
ly uiiri-.f 1 into the story the poverty
of the rst days after the surrender,
the organization of the Union League,
liie confiscation of property, the rule of
ti -csTpetbasgers and the negroes
thtT' is for the first time a lifelike
picture of a carpetbag legislature a
chapter that a man will remember for
ever); the Ku-Klux, the true nature of
which :s explained and the overthrow
of negro rule.
Through all this runs a story full of
the greatest aramatic power; but every
chapter of it is a typical event.
As a relief to the current of events In
the ?outh, the scenes of some of the
chapters are laid In Washington and
Boston, and it is shown that In the
Nortli the negro is treated not accora
tng to philanthropic pretension, but
with a cruel mockery of race equalitj
when the final test comes.
The Confederate soldier and the good
women of the Southern town where
the story opras are so lifelike that they
must have been drawn from the real
people.
It i a southern story of note, for It
preserts a picture that, though a pan
of history, is now accurately known to
few people, and it presents the south
ern attitude to the negro.
Mr. Dixon spent much time In read
ing the files of the southern newspa
pers that extended over a dozen years
to get incidents and dramatic situa
tions that were actually historic.
There is running through the book a

The
tragedy is overwhelming.
By a series of pictures drawn from
facts of absolute historical accuracy,
the author shows the boy Charles Gas
ton In the midst of the desolation im
mediately following the war which had
so sapped the life-blood of the Soutn.
and the impressions which his, young
biain received, never to be forgotten.
The vile and corrupt government which
the "carpetbaggers from tne nortn.ana
cowardly deserters of the South, set
up; the auction sales of thousands ot
homes In every county for taxes ille
gally Imposed, the increase -of inso
lence, lawlessness and crime on ir.c
part of the negro; and then the deliv
erance and the solution of these tre
mendous, difficulties in one weeK, are
graphically told.
Years pass, and Charles Gastoii
grows to a rising young lawyer, elo
quent but poor. He is different from
other young men, in that he has kepi
his heart always closed to love, keeping
to his boyhood's ideals and waiting ror
the bne whom he felt sure would some
time come. He finds her, and she re
turns his love. A most beautiful love
story is woven about this young
and gifted couple, and the old adage
proves true that "the course of true
love never did run smooth."
Gaston is forc-ed to wait, and devotes
himself to bettering his countrymen Dy
freeing them from a corrupt govern
ment which Is controlled by one wno is
his rival both In politics ana 4n love
The awful power of a silent, (deter
mined mob of men in dealing with tne
negro question in the South and the
scarcely less terrible indifference of
the north which persistently shuns the
negro and the negro problems, are
most vividly shown.
And finally, after Gaston has passed
through the snares set by his enemy,
his triumph brought about by one su
preme speech at the time when it was
most needed, and which won both hon
or and happiness.
One cannot but feel that the negro
confronts us as a great problem. One
feels a new sympathy with the South,
and with all oppressed humanity. One
sees what it is to love, and love truly,
both qne and all; and one feels as nev
er before a desire to uplift suffering
humanity and overthrow every form of
corruption and crime.
The first chapter of this brilliant
story will appear in The Citizen tomor
row afternoon.

Better Foreign Exhibits Can be
Secured by a Postpone
ment Washington, Jan. if;--Ths Louisiana

take place until 1904. This fact was
practically conceded by ex-Governor
Francis, president of the Exposition
company, and Adolpb Busch, financial
agent of the company. t the Whit
House today. Since the arriving and
conferring of foreign representatives
Governor Francis and Mr. Busch have
come to the conclusion that unless the
exposition is postponed for the year,
tne exposition will not be able to se
cure tne elaborate iorcign exhibits

stance, that a gieat Japanese fair is to
be given under goyemmtnt auspices, iu

until 1!04 everything of Interest exhib
ited there can be brought to St. Louis
the ioliowlng year. It is the desire or
the exposition management that the
foreign exhibits especially shall be
complete. In order to interest the for
eign governments, it is the desire of the
exposition management that the for
eign agents of the exposition be ap
pointed and accredited by the State de
partment, and steps are being taken to
that end now. Yesterday Governor
Francis and Mr. Busch extended an in
vitation, through the German embassy,
to Prince Henry, to visit St. Louis dur

ARRAIGNS GOV. TAYLOR
Frankfort, Ky., Jan. 17. Jim Howard
took the stand in his own defense yes
terday afternoon, being the first wit
r.e?s called on that side. At the fore
noon session. Judge Thomas R. Gordan
made the ' opening statement for th
defense. He paid a high tribute to the
personal and-political character of Wm.
Goeble and was severe In his arraign
ment of ejc-0overnor Taylor and Caleb
Powers. 'Hf contended that his client
the defendant, however, was innocent.
Howard's defense in the present, as in
the former trial. Is an alibi.
He swore that he was in the Board
of Trade Hotel when Goebel;was shot,
talking to Ben White and Jde Wages.
He said he went to the state-house for
the first time that afternoon. He says
he was clean shaven and denied that
he exhibited any cartridges to Culton.
Howard's lawyer produced a photo
graph which showed the prisoner to be
smooth shaven. It, was -taken in
group with his wife and children and
the commonwealth objected to its ex
hibition to the Jury. The court suj
tniaed the objection and the faces of
Howard's wife and children were cov
eted with paper. -,:
The clothes which Howard wore
when he was in Frankfort on January
30 were also shown to the jury. The
suit' was blue and the overcoat black.
At 3 o'clock Mr. Violett concluded his
