Fret not thyself becauso of him who
pnosperetli in his way and bridgoth
wicked devices to pass." There is
good philosophy and much comfort in
that poalm. Its frequent perusal will
fortify us against trouble and leave us
calui and serene at least for a time.
Butt I don't believe that David hail as
many things to exasperate him as we
do. Ncrtv ihere is a Chicago religious
payer sent to mo to disturb my tranquility.
ft contains a Burtnon recently
delivered by the editor to a large congregation
of hir* followers and they
said ameu and amen at every malediction
that he uttered against our people.
J don't fret myself about what a
northern preacher says nor a northern
editor writes, but 1 don't like that
amen from the saints, and it grlevro
mo to realize that the more malignant
an editor Is against us the more subscribers
his paper gets. Now this
Chicago editor says In his sonnon:
"If I were president when the next
lynching takes place in the south '
would put a cordon around that district
and hang a hundred of thoin and
T would shoot a hundred. Worthy oi j
cannibals are the horrible things car- J
riod on In the south. As sure as you
live those eight million negroes will
one day hurst loose. If It Is to be
blood for blood, then woo to yon In the
black belt. You southerners with your
rebellious pride sflll left you lynch the
poor negro for the very crime that
your fatheVs committed on their slaves.
There is one voice that will speak if
all others are silent. (Applause.)
When the time comes we will do more
than speak. God will judge you?yo;t
wliiled sepulohers who strain at a gnat
and swallow a camel. 1 have been
told that 1 havo lost friends at tho
south. I never had any. They were
never worthy of my friendship. Th'-y
are neither Christians nor good citizens.
I hear the march of eight million
Kthtopians. and It will be an awful
day wlion they burst loose In the black
belt."
My wife says that 1 hail better take !

Ruit about those preachers who are

boys, lot's haug him up by the legs and
give him time to repent?the cowardly

my religion, and I've been on that line
ever since these outrages began. I rejoice
over every lynching of a brute,
of the same kind. Oovjrnor Candler
may purge his own record about lynch

It is that h-ame puritanical set of

Rome of our writers and orators declare

their capital stock and it has spread
frmn Now England to Chicago and the
great west. The fl. A. R's. have appolnted
a conwnltte to write up a his
tory of the civil war. and the next
thing will be to force it into the public
schools. The (.?. A. R's. are a power In
the land and their creed is to draw
more pensions and bigger ones, but I j
can't understand hCw they can look a j

C'amller exclaimed In big head linos,
"Oh. for ono more breath of Puritanism!"
I've been perusing history. Of
course he didn't mean those Puritans
who came to New England and went
to imiKirting negroes and robbing the
Indians and burning witches. Mr.
Stodnvan and Miss Hutchinson have
eleven volumes of American literature

witchcraft times when Increase

women arrested and tried and hung
for witchcraft. The wh ie procertuie

heart sick to read how the poor creatures
begged for their lives and in their
last moments on the galows denied

Freak Clocks.
An ingenious Frenchman named he
Iloullat. who lives at Coutanccs. has
made himself famous for the curious
clocks he manufactures. He can make
n clock out of almost any conceivable
material. Straw and paper are among
the raw materials he uses. For 20
years he has been manufacturing freak
I clocks nnrt m??t KVi.n.Oi...i.~ ...??
something out of the common In that
line apply to Lc Boullat.
A while ago he turned a lot of newspapers
into pulp, mixed it with a hardening
substance and carved the clock
out of the compound. Even the wheels
and all the machinery of the clock
were made of this material. Naturally
this curious clock does not keep very
correct time, but the wonder is that
it goes at all. The newspaper clock is
one of Mr. Lo Uouilat's latest trluniphs.
Another of his designs appears to be
merely a collection of large and small
sticks held together by wires. It is
only upon close inspection that one
sees that it is a clock constructed on
excellent principles. It keeps very fair
time, never varying more than two
minutes in a week.
One man has found u $10 bill clinging

of men whose wheels have picked up

Jacksonville, Fin.?The most disastrotis
fire In the history of this cily began
Friday shortly after noon in a
small factory, from a defective wire,
according to the best Isdiof, and
burned for nearly ten hours. In that
time a property damage estimated
from $10,000,000 to $10,(xK).?XHi was
caused.
According to the city map, 1150 blocks
were burned, many of tlicin in the
heart, of the business au<l residence
section. The estimate of houses to tho
block is ten, hence 1300 of them went
up in smoke. Many of the tinwsl publ.
ami private buildings were destroyed,
including hotels, theatres,
churches and resiliences.
The burned district reaches from
Iturhrldge street on the north to the
St. John's ltiver on the south, a instance
of not quite two miles. Tins
willth of the desolated area is thirteen
blocks. Within this space practically
everything Is blackened ruins, on Fry
street, the principal mart of trade, tho
Western Union Telegraph Company's
building Is tin* tirst building standing
going west, Lvorytling cast <?f Laura
Bay Is gone.
The suburban settlements, with the
exception of La Villa, are intact. l,a
Villa was badly hurt. Thousands of
persons trumped the streets, homeless,
with practically all of their worhly
possessions upon their backs. Tim
stations of the railroads, situated in
the southeastern section, were turned
Into temporary lodging houses ami hospitals.
Luckily the weather was tine,
so that there was no suffering on that
score.
Seven hotels, including the Windsor
and St. .lames, a theatre and nearly
all th? business buildings are gone.
The St. James was the principal hotel
of the city, a brick structure, five
atories high. It was the winter home
i?r many Northern ndlllonaries.
Started at the corner of Loo and
Monroe streets, the lire was spread
with great rapidity t>y the high wind,
which almost amounted to n gale. It
was soon seen that the local tire department
could not cope with the
emergency ami appealing messages,
asking help were sent to nearby cities,
ltrunswlck, (la., sent one thousand
feet of hose and three firemen by a
special train for Jacksonville, running
sixty miles an hour. Two tire engines,
with crews, came front Savannah oil
u special train.
When the fire reached Julia street
it was a roaring furnace and seemingly
beyond control. The local military
companies were called out to keep
back the crowds, and the Fire I >epartment
began to use dynamite to
blow up houses a block away to prevent
the lire spreading. So fierce was
the blaze, however, and so strong the
wind, that sparks ami burning shingles
were thrown live or six blocks,
setting a tire roofs of houses in advance?
of the department. Senator Taliaferro's
residence and otln r adjoining
houses were soon ablaze.
Desperate efforts were* made to
save the Windsor and St. James
hotels, blit both were quickly wrapped
Ui flames. For about an hour the
patrons of the Windsor laid been busy
packing, and they went away loaded
with trunks and grips. Leaping across
the street Iroui the Windsor, the
flumes caught the Sells House and then
the Methodist parsonage. A few minutes
Inter the Trinity Methodist
(Jhurch was on lire. The Opera House
Mock followed. Once the lire got
started on Nhiin street the closely
huJlt buildings went one after the
othea Paint shops with barrels of
oil in stock wore plentiful, nnd as they
caught fire the hlnze rose hundreds
of feet and started lire in buildings
across the street.
The City Building went, tli* Fire
Department Building, the Armory, the
County Court House, the Clerk's ofllco,
with the county records; the Criminal
Court House, the City Jail and the
Graded Schools nnd the Catholic
Church and Orphanage. St. John's
Episcopal Church and the convent. Almost
all ths large buildings in the
city w?rs burned up In less than four
houra.
The Chief of Police has ordered all
saloons closed until further notice.
Mayor Bowden says the property
loss will exceed $15,000,000. Ten
thousand to tlftecn thousand people
are homeless.

direct from tin* Philippines, where he
was in ooinmaiul of four departments
of Soutliern liiusoii.
"The loss of life by killing nlone lias
been very great." continued the <?eneral.
"hut I think that not one man
has lieen slain except where his death
served the legitimate purposes of war.
It lias been necessary to adopt what in
other countries would probably liv
thought: harsh measures, for the Fill

fought in his own war.
"Captain 11 and. of the Forty-fifth

while walking alone a road In Southaril

and one day I sent Captain Hand to
stop the practice. He and six men
concealed themselves in a covered
wagon. When they were held up they
opened tire on the insurgents, and tlve
of thetn were killed. After that there
was no more levying of taxes.
"The insurgents also caused us nnteh
trouble by tampering with our tele

to treat every one outside of our lines
as an enemy. If a man was caught

lie was shot. On one occasion six Fill
