It took eight years for them to become acclimated before Mr. Speer got a single grape; during those years all died except about eight hundred vines, when thase began to grow vigorous and bear fruit ; from these, layers were made for new vines. The vineyards now cover fifty six acres. It has proven asuccess.

Al- ready eighty bodies have been re- covered and it is estimated that 200 perished. Many are wounded. Medical assistance is scarce in all parts of the island. What makes the present distress greater is the fact that a month agoall public im- provements were stopped owing to lack of appropriations. Thousands of persons were thrown out of employment. A general re newal of public works would be a great relief. Many pianters and merchants are ruined and cannot give employment. Gen.

Aug. 16 —Five brutel assaults by a negro on white women have occurred in Little Rock | in the past twenty-four hours. It} is believed all these crimes were| committed by the same negro, but| three suspects have been arrested, | and if the right man can be positive- ly identified he may receive sum-| mary punishment. The victims of} the assaults are highly respected white women of the city. Their| names are: Mrs. Belle Aiken, 2114 Chester| Milton Young, 2401} State street; Mrs. Kennedy, 1ith| and Jones streets; Miss Emma Coy Long, 1402 Booker street; a young lady at Twentiethjand Cross streets. All the assaults occurred in the suburbs of the city. The first was that of Mrs. Aiken, which occurred yesterday afternoon. As Mrs. Aiken was passing by Twenty-first and High streets the negro seized her, dragged her into the woods. She resisted and cried for help. A passerby frightened the negro away after he had severely beaten his vic- tim. Officers at once began a search for the assailant but failed to find him. At 9 o'clock this morning, a few blocks from the scene of the first crime. Mrs. Young was assaulted in almost the same manner. The negro knocked her down with such force that a rib was broken, causing internal injuries of a serious nature. Be choked and beat her about the head and on the side, inflicting very serious injuries. The negro finally seized her purse and disappeared in the woods. Mrs. Young, who is a frail woman, is in a precarious condition from her wounds and the shock. Her cloth- ing was torn almost entirely off in the struggle. An hour later Mrs. Kennedy was attacked at her home near West End park. She was knocked down, beaten and choked. Her child ran for assistance and the negro fled. Mrs. Kennedy's injuries are very painful. About 11 o’clock Emma Long Coy, the 1l year-old daughter ofa grocer, was attacked and beaten by anegro half a dozen blocks from West End park. She escaped from her assailant. City and county of- ficers, together with a large number of citizens, were by this time ecour- ing the vicinity for the negro. The greatest excitement prevailed and the anger of the citizens in the neighborhood was thoroughly arous- ed. The fifth assault occurred early this morning on a well known young lady at Twentieth and Croas streets. She was likewise knocked down and badly beaten. Her face was swollen and discolored from the effects of the blows. These outrages were brought to the attention of Governor Jones, and he at once offered a reward of $1,506 each for the arrest and con viction of the guilty parties. Judg- ing from the temper of public senti- ment the officers will fiad it difficult to protect their prisoner should the right man ba captured.

Knows Washington Post The war in the Philippines has reached the stage where a victory for our arms is only less deplorable than a defeat A victory means the killing and wounding of men strug- gling for something which we do no really wish to take from them— that is, their liberty. Not one in a thousand of the people of the United States avows or feels any desire to deprive those people of any of the rights enumerated in our own dec- laration of Independence There- fore every bulletin which tells of renewed sorrow, irrespective of the of the fight. Some people, when asked what We are fighting for, say that the Filipinos are savages and must be put down. Others say that they began the war, and must be put down for that reason. Others con- tend that the flag never “hauled down” where it has been once raised, whether it was rightly raised or not. These were a pretty large class in the beginning, but are} seldom heard from now. A fourth variety say that trade follows the} flag, and that the Philippines must | be retained for the money that there | isinthem. These, too, were rather | formidable, both in numbers and} brass, at the beginning, but have dwindled since.

Sam Jones thus expresses himself on the Philippine question: “To tell the truth,” continued Mr. Jones, “I think we have more crops planted than we can take care of. If we are no better guardians of the Philippines than we have been of the Indians, the Chinamen and the negroes, I fear for the results of our so-called philantbropy. If French- men, who came to our relief in the war of the Revolution, had assumed the same attitude we have taken to- ward Cuba and the Philippines, we would have been fighting that coun- try yet. “Our old style of philanthropy was to take the spelling book and the Bible. Latterly we have been using the gun and the Bible as our implements of conversion and civili- zation. We Protestants believe in no probation after death. Therefore, we argue, we put the heathen on the other side of probation. But it is kind of us to give him a Bible after we kili him.” No one knows the unbearable tor- ture, the peculiar and agonizing pain caused by rites, unless they have suffered from them. Many believe them incurable. This is a mistake. Proper treatment will cure them. Tabler’s Buckeye Pile Ointment is an infallible cure. Price 50c in bot- tles, tubes 75c. At H. L. Tucker's.

From this fact one can readily in fer that the Philippine war is going to prove a most costly enterprise But it is stated with much ap- proval that Henry Clay Evans, com- missioner of pensions, in bis annual report aunounces that the number has decreased 2,000 over that records ed last year. Perhaps this decrease may be traced in some degree to the fact that sixty-three pension attorneys were disbarred, ten suspended and two dropped during the year. The total number of attorneys dropped to dates is 1,163. And yet 37,000 new pensions were granted. Undoubtedly many of these were fraudulent claims, for at this late date since the ending of the war between the states it does not seem reasenable to believe that all of these 37,000 pensioners had valid claims There is no disposition on the part of the people to refuse aid to deserving survivors of the ware, but the fact that nearly 2,000 pension attorneys have been disbarred shows ‘that fraud aod rapacity are largely responsible for the tremendous bur- den which a pension list of $150,- 000,000 a vear imposes Ballard’s Snow Liniment gives instant relief in cases of bleeding, burns, bruises, ecalds, cute, ete. going away to a better place I have | been called to be chaplain of a pen | itentiary.
