The demand for lumber for shipbuilding and other purposes has become so great that the dealers are now drawing on the Pacific coast territory for their future supply. A fleet of sailing vessels, which includes the ship John A. Briggs, from Port bam bie, and the barks Guy C. Goss and Kate V. Troop, from Vies toria. British Columbia, are now on their way to this port, all with large cargoes of Oregon pine. There has never been a time when the demand tor lumber has been so great that purchas ers were compelled to look else where than to the South for their supply. Besides being cheaper, even after the ocean freight and duties are paid, the Pacific coast lumber has the advantage of be ing longer than could be purs chased on the Atlantic coast, or perhaps, anywhere else, owing to the fact that the trees grow to greater heights in the Oregon tad Canadian forests than al mos? anywhere else on the Con' tinent. The Briggs cargo con sists'of 1,500,000 fret of pine, the Kate Troop brings 1,200,000 teet, and the Goss 1,000,000, all of which is consigned to Pbila delphia lumber dealers. It will require at least four months for the vessels to make their runs, which will be accom plished by rounding Cape Horn. The cold weather has facilitated the shippers in getting the logs to the coast sawmills, the heavy snow being favorable for the work. The Government duties will amount to about $2 per thous and feet, and the freight will average over $14,000 for each vessel. The consignees of the cargoes state that by reason of the su perior lengths the shipments are especially desirable for the decks of warships aud merchant craft, and for passenger car manufac turers, for which use it has al ready been sold, partly to the Cramp Shipbuilding Company aud the New York Shipbuilding Company. The remainder has been taken by passenger car builders at Wilber, Del... and elsewhere lumber, it is claimed ;ts of a Higher pol ish - aore easily worked by reason of having grown in a cold climate, than the tough yel low pine shipped from South Atlantic and Gulf ports Phila delphia Record. England's Tale of Woe. The following is England's tale of woe to date, officially re ported from London : Officers killed 156. Officers wounded 386. Officers missing 114 (cap tured). Total number of officers killed, wounded and missing, 656. Men killed 1,484. Men wounded 54- Men missing 2,789 (cap turtd). Total number of men killed, wounded and missing 9,337. Other fatalities reported 563. Grand total of officers and men killed, wounded ana miss ing, and other fatalities 10,556. An old name seems to be a good advertisement for a news, paper in the far west and pro bably thr t is why the Sedalia Bazoo, the Texas Jimplecute and the Tombstone Epitaph of other days Lave plenty of imitators or successors. WILL TIL UP THE OFFICES Latest Scheme of the Kentucky Republicans. BATTLE IN THE COURTS Republicans Will Demand an Inquest on the Body ox Goe bel-Startling Evidence When the Case Comes to a Hearing. Louisville, Feb, 20 By a method of proceedure decided upon by the Republicans, every State office will be tied up Sat urday and no State business will be transacted after that date and for some time to come. The State election board will decide the minor State offices contest that day and its verdict will un seat the Republicans. An in junction will at once be asked tor by the Republicans, restrain ing the Democrats from taking possession of the minor offices, and this action will go to the Court of Appeals and from theTe to tl e United States Supreme r..rt. Until a final decision is reached, every minor State or fice, from auditor to treasurer, wiL be tied up. None of the 119 counties in the State will turn in revenue till it is decided who the legal officers are This will create a tangle that will paralyze State business, and no one can see any way out of it. Governor Taylor said this morning that he would obey any order of the Court of Ap peals in his case, but he would carry it to the Supreme Court of the United States on a writ of eiror. The action of the Goebelites in charging Taylor with com plicity in the assassination of William Goebel will lead to de termined retaliation by the Re publicans. The Republican State central committee, it is stated, will meet next week and demand that an inquest be held over the body of Goebel, and that Chind and LiUard, who were with Goebel when he was shot, be made to testify under oath. It will 6e demanded that phv;ans who attended shall also submit to examination un der oath. Some startling assertions are made by Republicans to contro vert the story that Goebel was shot from the executive build ing. They have witnesses who will swear that a man walking with Goebel shot him, holding a pistol under his arm. They also say that a Democrat, and not a Republican, shot Goebel, and that Goebel said on his death bed, referring to the Re publicans : "I forgive them ; they did not do it." Startling evidence is looked for when the case is tried. Goe bel court officers have refused to allow either Sutton or Whitaker to be tntd, and Republicans charge that the two detectives now at Frankfort are not there to locate the assassin, but' to prevent detection of the man who really shot Goebel.

J., Feb. 15th, and a Justice of the Peace was referee. The prize was Emma Burggraf, an orphan of 16. The decision of chance was fortuuately to hei liking. The lucky man is . Anton Klase, 28 years old, a furniture dealer at Paik avenue Newark street. The man who lost a wife and his temper is Herman Asop, a clerk, who asserted that the orphan maid had promised to marry him long before she ever knew there was a Klase in existence. The girl and Klase met only afteen days ago and very soon made up their minds that they were in love. Klase proposed. The girl was puzzled. She had promised to marry Asop. Mrs. Grew, with whom she lived, ad vised the girl to marry Klase, who had an established busi nes. So the girl accepted Klase, and they went before Justice of the Peace Seymour. While preparations were being made for the ceremony in came Asop, distrait and disheveled. "I object to this fake mars riage," he cried. "It is not legal. I shall marry Emma." The Justice, in a spirit of fun, suggested that the men draw straws to settle the matter. The girl was willing. So were Asop and Klase. A long and a short strip of paper were placed in a book, the ends protruding. It was agreed that the man draw ing the longest strip should win. Klase drew the longer strip. But Asop demanded another chance, and, against all known rules, secured it. He suggested that the girl hold the book. She held the book aud her fu ture. Again Asop drew thelos ing strip. He was satisfied, and Seymour performed the cere mony. AS TO VOTING IN CUBA. Americanized Natives to Have Privilege of Elective Franchise. Havana, Feb. 22. Governor General Wood has decided to permit Cubans who are natural ized Americans to vote at the coming elections. Former Sec retary of State Capote endeav ored last summer to torce whole sale renunciations of American citizenship, but General Brooke refused to permit it. General Wood takes the same position, but at the same time will grant the franchise to Cuban-Americans. Native born Cubans who are subjects of other nations will not be permitted to vote. There are many here, especially French. General Wood's offer will be published shortly. The Radicals may object, but like most Cuban protests, it will die a speedy death. Washington's birthday was quietly celebrated and some buildings owned by Cubans were decoiated. A ball was given to-night. Saturday will be the big holiday, it being the anniversary of the outbreak of the last revolution. The police overhauled one of the Kentucky innocent bystand ers the other day and found five revolvers on his person. It is strange that the police have not enough curiosity to search one of the beligeren's. Washington Post. THE NEGRO IN THE COURTS. (North Carolina Baptist.) Under this caption Rev. L E Fairley, editor of the Cape Fear Enterprise, a negro paper pub lished at Fayetteville, gives the necrro some wholesome advice and states some plain facts as to why the negro figures so con spicuouslv in the Criminal Courts. We quote from this the negro uninviting article : "This phase of question presents an picture to look upon the pro minent and conspicuous way in which the negro figures in the courts of the South. Very seldom a Sabbath passes but that several negro men aud women are brought before the mayor's or some magistrate's court for row dyism, disturbance of the peace or misdemeanor of some kind. "The idea that the negro is always taken advantage of in the courts of the South is fast being exploded, and the fact thai many of our race go to the jails, chain gangs and peniten tiary is because they get justice. "The Irshman saw the point when the judge said, 'You shall have justice.' 'Faith, and by Christ,' said Pat, 'that's what I don't want.' We must learn to respect, cherish and vindicate the majesty and dignity of the law and order of the community with a sacredness next to our religion. Indeed, the observance of law and respect for those in authority are evidences of genu ine religion. "Another reason for the plenti fulness of the colored brother in legal process is due to his want of ability to arbitrate and com promise small and petty affairs and offenses which might be set tled by him Some time the magistrates insist upon compro mise small and petty affairs and offenses which might be settled by him. Some time the magis trates insist upon compromise, but to no effect with some of the people. "The remedy: commit less of the crime and your presence will be less in demand in the court. Shun the very appear ances of evil. Avoid conditions which even implicate or show yju in any way an accessory to crime and vice." Editor Fairley is a Presby terian preacher and an ex super intendent of the Fayetteville negro normal school. His plain condemnation of his own race evinces a race loyalty which is not measured by the hurrahs and "go it brother" of the negro rabble. The negro must be up lifted motally as well as educa tionally if he is ever able to govern himself, much less others. The Shell Fish Fund. The receipts of the shell-fish fund from April, 1895, to Feb ruary, 13, 1900, were $28,890.31. The expenditures were 22, 445.28, leaving a balance in the treasury of $6,445.03. It is said of the disbursements more than one-third have been on account of the steamer Lillie, used by the Shell-fish Commissioner as a pleasure yacht. Frank Sherwood was down town to day, the first time since he had his tussel with cholera morbus. He says he drove thirty miles after he was taken, and never came so near dying in his life. After this when he goes out in the country he will take a bottle of Chamberlain s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy with him. Missouri Valley (Iowa) Times. For sale by W. W. Griggs & Son Druggists. BOER WOMEN NEVER WEEP Mrs. Louise de Lassevn 111. of Sau Fraucisco, returned from a tour of South Africa a short while ago, and relates some in teresting impressions of the Boers. riie Boers impressed me as being a very uncouth sort of people," she says, according to the Philadeiohia Times. "aN ar though those that wj met were pleasant enough. It is easy to see that they are required to pay little attention to the courtesies ol life while young, so that their manners are devoid of polish. and they frequently have a surly air. which does not by any means create a favorable impression up on strangers. But of their fight ing qualities there can be no question, and England need not expect to subdue them until their last shot has been fired and their last ounce of strength is exhausted. There is no more determined and stubborn race of people on earth than the Boers. "The children, both boys and girls, are taught the use ot fire arms as soon as they are old en ough to hold a gun. They prac tice constantly. "From one generation to an other the Boers have been pre paring for war, until to fight is now their natural instinct. "The women are as courage ous and combative as the men. A toer woman is never too old to shoot straight. You should see them as I have seen them coming to the station to say good bye to husbands, fathers, brothers aud sweethearts on their way to the front. Such stoicism is astonishing. "Not a tear d es a Boer wo man shed when she sends a son away from her to fight for his country. Not a tear does she shed when he falls in battle. Fighting to them is a business, a duty anything but a matter of seutiment. "My opinion is that when there are no more Boer men left on the field the Boer women will take their places and give des perate battle to the English foe, whom they hate with all their h arts. These afrikauder women are better soldiers man most men. "Life in the Transvaal for Boer women is very pleasant. In Johannesburg I saw more bicycles than in any other city, and I have visited all the large cities of the world." BIG MILL FOR STATESVILLE Orders Placed for 5,000 Looms and 100,000 Spindles. It is probable that the largest cotton mill in the South will be located at or near Statesville in the near future. The Coolee. mee Company, composed of Mebanes Dukes and other wealthy citizens having abund ance of capital, will build a mill in that section. They have al ready placed the order for the machinery for 100,000 spindles and 5,000 looms. The estimated cost of the mill is between two and three millicn dollars. The company recently bought Lookout Shoals, a very valuable water power on the Catawba river in Alexander county, and have been investigating with a view to building the mill at the shoals, but have decided to lo-s cate the plant at Statesville, aud transmit the power from the shoals b electricity. The com pany does not ask for any special favors All it wants is an avail able site of about 1,000 or more acres of land. GORMAN IS FOR BR Y .'. H Ex Senator says He Will S p port the Nebr iskan Hx Senator Gorman was at the Capitol a few day ago for the hrst time since the asscmbli g of the present session. He de nied to a representative if the Post the statement mad in a New York paper that he bad . L( in ! collusion with Lroncr in '.ne ........ . effort to renominate Bryan, order that the latter might : 11 defeated this year, and thus per manently removed from politic . "The fust kno'A kl,'e huh came to meofCroker's intent: 11 to .support Bryan," said Mi Gor man, "was through the ncwr papeis. I novel talked with Croker on the subject, an 1 n ver have been a party to any plan to renominate Mr. Bryan. I u the contrary, all my effoits, I am very frank to state, 1 ave I ri n directed against such action I did not believe it was a wise thing to nominate him. I be lieve now, however, that n til ing can prevent his v Ie( tion as the head of the Democratic tn k et. He certainly has the people behind him to a remarkable !r, gree." Mr. Gorman says that the Democratic chances foi su 1 1 1 are better now than in 1896, and have improved greatly, even within the last three week. "The tide," he said, "is now running against the Admin is tratiou." Mr. Gorman thinks that the Hay-Pauncefote treaty has had a great deal to do with the chauge in public sentiment, because it has given color to the charge that the Adtninistrati m has an understanding with Great Britain, aud that an offensive and defensive alliance will e the next step. "This treaty, ' he says, 'tand the conditions in the Philippines, to say nothing of the vexations problems that are constantly arising to plague the Administration, are helping the Democrats. I think, too," he added, ' that the passage of the gold staadard bill will also help us, because it will re move all danger of the free coinage of silver and will biing back to the Democratic ranks tho.e who left it in 189600 the silver issue." "Will you support Bryan if he is nominated?" "Certainly. I supported him in 1896, and I shall support him again this year. I do not j ro pose t desert my party." Washington Post.
