THE EDITOR'S LEISUEB HCUSS.
Points and Paragraphs of Things
Present, Past and Future.
The situation in China at this writ
ing is still "an unknown quantitv."
There have been so maiy things publish
ed and then contradicted it is next to
impossible to see just how things are
there. But taking the most honaful
w jr
view from the most favorable conditions
there, an! the situation is one to be
. 'ored. They are killing folks, and
tha- alona makes every humane mind
recoil and wish that the smoke of battle
could ba fanned away forever by the
sweet winga of peace, and that the
sound of cannon could never again
disturb the peace and quiet of the
world.
The great distress that persons of
a supersensitive disposition endure
is of sufficient frequency to have
a place in a column of "pass
ing events." Such parsons ar9 to be
pitied many times when they artf
condemned.
It is tru6 that some one Las well
said that people haye co business
spreading their feelings so far around
them that others will walk en them
unawaras ; but the person of the very
sensitive disposition does not every
time know how far his feelings have
gone an d sometimes perhaps we are not
careful enough ourselves to keep off
the feelings of other people that lie
so broad around.
J.H3 world poorly appreciates its
loss in the death of a good and con
scientious journalist. Too often they

to mantj AThat thay are.
These reflections come from reading
some of the tributes paid by tha Vir
ginia press to Col. Cowardin,late editor
of the Eichmond Dispatch. His death
occurred in Richmond about two
weeks ago. To be sure, the many ex
pressions of appreciation of his worth
a3 a rnsm and worth zs a journalist
ahoTt the hish esteain in which he
was held l y tha people of the State and
the South generally; but even with al
ibis his is the common lot of men who
work as he worked. He did far more
than any one yet reckons-
It is gratifying to the world to see
signs of an early termination of the
war in South Africa. Tho sympathiz
ers with the Boers will be glad to learn
this as well as others not because the
Boers will not be successful but b
cause an end to the strife will cause so
much suffering to cease.
No people in all the history oi the
world have .ever struggled more heroic
ally than the Boers of South Africa,
and they will be so remembered in the
history of the wars of the century.
And "while they have pledged never
to surrender it is said that they are
beginning to see the folly of continu
ing human sacrifice to the satisfaction
of keeping personal pledges. ! Let the
war terminate and ' may we hear oi
wars r0 more.
Charity and Children remarks that
from the many and handsome adver
tisements which the newspapers are
carrying for the different scboola and
colleges of the State, the educational
interest must be at high tide. It does
look so indeed, and it is source of
gratification to all lovers of intelligence
and advancement. The day-dawn
seems to be near when North Carolina
will be fully aroused on the question
of general education. -
The Commonwealth renews its in
quiry, "Are the young men of .North
Carolina making sacrifices for educa
tion as did many young men of former
years?" We fear that in mauy cases
the answer to this inquiry.il thorough
ly expressed, would have to be a nega
tive one. We seldom see young men
wearing bome-epun clothes at college
now, while in former years some of
the best students at the college wore

INDIA'S GREAT SUFFERINGS.
The InterDenominaticnal Committee.
While the great heart of the Amcri
can people is being stirred to its depth?
by tales of snflering and starvation
among the famine-ridden native3. oi
India, one is apt to forget among the
general now ol sympatny such stories
excite, the noble and even heroic part
our American missionaries are playing
in th;.3 dark drama of famine and dis
tress. With the pestilence raging on
every side, and thousands dying daily
ol disease and starvation, the mssion-
aries haye bravely remained at their
posts in the interior and, sided by their
wives, and active helpers, have fought
back the famine with the slender weap
ons at their disposal, with a sublime
faith in Providence and in the prompt
generosity of the American people.
How they are succeeding in this hand
to hand battle with death may be gath
ered in part from the report of a meet
ing cf the Inter-denominational 'Mis
sionary commit lea at Bombay, India,
an account of which recently appeared
in the Christian Herald. This Com
mittee is composed of representatives
of every protestant denomination now
operating in the famine district. Rev.
a. nume, oi tne a. a. v. n M. is
Chairman, and the Rev. E. F. Frease,
of tao Methodist Mission, Is Secretary
This Committee was organized in In
dia at the request of The Christian Her
ald, to receive and distribute the money
contributed by it3 readers and friends
in America.
After referring to general conditions,
the report goes on to say : "There is
no disguising the fact that the distress
i3 increasingly scute and the mortality
from starvation is now terrible and rap
idly becoming larger. Over whole
proyinces the conditions are worse
than in 1897. " In one largj section

eigbty-seyen persons in every hundred
;.re likely to perish." Only thirteen
persons left alive where a short time
ago there were a hundred. All the
rest slowly and -painfully starved to
death. And this is not in one parti
cularly afflicted village but "through
out a large section."
A resolution passed y the commit
tee requires all missionaries receiving
funds through the Committee to use
the money for the relief of the famine
sufferers, and in no case to apply it to
the mission work. It was also decided
that in apportioning fund3 the main
consideration should be the severity
of the famine in the respective areas,
attention being paid in each instance
to the work already inaugaratedineach
area and funds available from other
sources. . -
The QUITO, with its 200,000 bush
elajaf corn, sent to Bombay by Tl9
Christian Herald, chartered by the Uni
ted States government, laden with corn
contributed by the American people,
has reached its destination in safety and
already Ihecorn has been widely dis
tributed among the starving people.
This com is ground by the native wo
men in little hand mills, so familiar to
us all in pictures of Oriental Hie, then
mixed with water and baked in little
flat cakes. Not exactly aT dainty meal
to our fastidious taste, but one quart
of corn treated in this way will keep
life in a man or woman for three days,
while a pint suffices for a child during
the same period of time.
Gilson Willets, the well knwn news
paper correspondent, writing of the
famine conditions during his recent
trip through India, says : "
"I have just returned from another
and more extended tour bt the f:iminn

districts, and with mine own eyes haye
verified the worst stories I have heard
or read of the suffering and distress of
these starvirsj people. Children
wandering about like chips on the sea,
people ' dying along the roadside from
sheer lack of food, jackals and vultures
feasting upon human flesh all these
things are only too true.
The land swarms with multitudinous
living skeletons. I have grown ac
customed to the eight of stomachs hol
lowed out like basins. There is noth
ing romantic in this form of suffering
for starvation, in its visible form it is
simply and only hideous.
The aeath rate is appalling, despite
the fact that the Government is doing
its level best to save human life. The
money raised and sent by England is
doing a lot of good, but the money
thus sent is not yet sufficient to cover
the wide-spread distress nor the multi
tude of sins on the part of the natives
in charge of the Relief Works.
- It is a pleasure to add, however,
that the funds sent here by the people
of America and entrusted to American
Missionaries reach the sufferers in a
direct way, and in such a way that
five America dollars go farther and
do rrore good than the same amount
in English money.
The scenes I have witnessed are heart
rending in the extreme, and surely
they serve to emphasizs the fact that
the help of the American people is
sadly needed. The money tent here
from the United States through the
Christain Herald is doing an amazing
amount of good. And still more
money is needed, for the rainy season
approaches, and Heaven only Knows
how these unsheltered sufferers are to
be saved."
Blood Thicker Than Water.
Savannah News.
"Blood is thicker thtu water" has
become a historic phrase. The prob
abilities are that most English speak
ing men have used it at one time or
another, and all have hoard it used.
But how many know the origin ot it?
How mauy Know that an American
a Georgian, a Savanuahian gave cur
rency to ths sentiment under circum
stances which are recalled by current
eyents in China?
Forty-one years ago Captain (after
ward Commodore) Jo3iah Tattnail,
who was born in this city In 1795, was
llag officer on the Asiatic Station ot
the United States Navy. Arriving at
bis post he found China at war with
the allied English and French fleets.
On July 25 ot that year, standing on
tne deck his ship in the Pei-Ho, he
saw the British vessels under firs of
the Chinese forts. These were th6
Taku forts, where the foreign warships
are now gathered. The fire from the
torts wa3 proving terribly effective.
At length Captain Tattaail could re
sist the desire to interfere no longer.
Uttering his memorable words to his
executive officer, it is said he gave the
signal for action, and his men respond
ed gladly and promptly. Tattnail
picked a crew to row him to the flag
ship of the British fleet.
hile his boat was between his own
vessel and that of the British it was
struck by a Chinese shell, which killed
the cockswain and severely wounded
Lieutenant Stephen uecatur Trench-
ard. Tattnail's order wasfor the men
to bend the harder to their oara. The
Americans had then an added motive
for fighting to ayenge their comrades.
Boarding the British vessel Tattnail
and his men pressed to the front and
aided the British . in defeating
the Chinese. It was a glorious
victory, and tho British have al
ways given - the brilliant American'
high praise for his part in it
Tattnall had of course viola ted the
neutrality laws of the United States
in thus going to the aid of the British.
But public' opinion in this country be
lieving with him that "blood is thick
er than water," ' upheld him in his
course ; so instead ot punishment, he
receive 1 new honors. The sentiment
was repeated and reciprocated on the
p-irt of the British during our recent
war with Spain. "It was an open secret
that the British were our friends dur
ing that war, so that the whole of
Kurope was stopped from interfering
in any manner with our operations
againet the Spaniards.'
You may as well expect to run a
steam engine without water as to find
an active, energetic man with a torpid
liver, and you may know that his liver
is torpid when be does not relish his

times dizziness. A few doses of Cham

EIGHT WEEKS TRIAL-
A Murder 30 Tears Ago
NOW TO B3 AVENGED.
Philadelphia Record.
New London, Mo., July 9. A legal
battle for life which promises to be
one ot the hardest ever faugh t in the
courts ot this State began to-day, when
Alexander J. Jester was brought to
the bar for a murder done nearly 30
years ago.
Jester is accused of having killed
Gilbert Gates, brother of John W.
Gates, former chairman of the board of
directors of the American Steel and
Wire Company.
Jester is now 75 years of age, white-
haired and feeble, and is a man of
deep religious convictions. He quotes
the Bible fluently, and has been aclo.re
student of it, but the passages dealing
with the wath of God and a future
8fnte of punishment in which the devil
and a lake of brimstone and everlast
i ng fire occur are the ones most ready
to his tongue and most frequently
quoted.
Drinking, gambling, smoking and
chewing he condemns as bad habits
and has none of them. Card playing
he believes is not intrinsically any
more wrong than checker playing, but
it Bhould be shunned, he says, because
an appearance of evil goes with it.
He is a man more than six feat tali
and wilh his white hair and beard
looks like a preacher. His two sons,
Harvey and William, are here and his
wife and daughter are coming early
to-morrow morning.
The whole of to-day was occupied in
getting a jury to try the case. Mora
than a dozen lawyers are in attendance
W. S. Forrest, of Cnicago, represents
John W. Gates in the prosecution.
The State of Missouri is represented by
T. T. Rhodes, of Paris, Mo ; J. H.
Rhodes, of Sedalia ; C. P. Johnston, of
St. Loni, and J. W. Hays, of New
London. The lawyers for Alexander
J. Jester are Cullen & Mclntyre, of
Mexico, Mo., Judge David Eby, of
Hannibal, presides at the trial.
In its intricacies the story covers a
dozen States. A. A. Gates was a resi
dent of West Chicago in 1870. Gilbert
and John W. Gates were his sons, the
former, 19 years old, being the elder.
Chr!e3 Hazlehurst, a neighbor, pre
pared to move to Kansas.
Gilbert Gates, with his father's best
team and wagoti.wen twith Hazlehunit
taking a load of household gooes
Ha zlehnrst settled at Towanda, Kan,
Gilbert Gates was not pleased with thc-
ountry, however, and in Jsnuarv, 1871
he started for home with tho sams
outfit he took a way.
Alexander J. Jester, then 48 years
old, was living in valley Centre, near
Towanda. Jester had a wife and six
children, but, leaving them behind, r:e
started overland for a visit to his o;d
home at Dal ton. Ind. Near Fort Scott
Jester overtook the boy Gates, and
from that point they travelled together
through Missouri. It 13 alleged that
Jester killed Gates on this trip and
took his effects away.
Jester went to Dalton, Ind., and then
back home to Kansas. When young
Gates did not reach home, his father
took up the trial and had Jester ar
rested at Valloy Centre, Kan. Jester
was extradited by the Missouri ,autho
rities and taken, to Paris, Mo., in June,
1871. The Monroe County Grand
Jury indicted him. The trial was set
but Jester took a change of venue to
Audrain county. He was impmioned
at Mexico, and in January, 1872, he
escaped to Northern Texas, where, un
der the name ot W. A. Hill, he is said
to have gone to work for a ranchman.
Jester's wife and family were in
Kansas. In Texas, however, the pro
secution asserts, he met and married
Julia Reynolds, and they had several
children. In 1889 Jester went to Ok
lahoma. It is asserted that he was
married again, and soon aftcrwarC
divorced, and toat within three months
he Wft3 married a fourth time and
again divorced. -
He was about to marry again, when,
In June, 1899, hia sister, Mrs. Calvin
Street, wrote to the Sheriff of Sedgwick
county, Kan., saying that Jester was
living in Shawnee, Okla., under the
alias of W. A. Hill. His arrest and
the prppent trial resulted. "
' The prosecution will present a long
and seemingly unbroken chain ol cir
cumstantial evidence The principal
points cf the dafeuce are: that -Gates
was seen aiive alter tne fate oi tne
supposed murder, and that there is no
proof of his death, in spite of tho ef
forts of hia brother to nd ;t. - TheJ
trial is expectei to last e?ght weeks.
