Break Up Negro' Furniture Because They Said H Told ou Them. (Correspondence of The Ledger.) Blacksburg, July 4:—About 2 o’clock Wednesday night, John Chil* dere, Marion Stewart, Craig Stowe, J. Rowland Love and several other well known blockaders, went to the house of a negro named Anderson Brown about three miles south of Blacksburg and represented them selves as State Constables Eubanks, Drnke, Seay and others. They got the negro to open the door and he recog- i nised the parties, they not being dis guised. He at once suspected some thing wrong. They told him to come out and he said he would iust as soon as he could get on his pants. When he got on his pants he slipped out of the j -back door of the cabin and then j crawled through the underbrush to ajpoint near tne road above the house, where the rest of the party had been waiting and were joined by those who had been at the house. He heard them talking and after waiting, as they thought, a reasonable time for Brown, and he failing to appear, they then went back to the house. They claimed Brown was in the house and told his wife that if she would not open the door they would break it down. Brown’s wife, who {was sick, an old deaf negro woman, mother of Brown, and a negro man by the name of Sam Nance, were the only inmates) of the cabin. Brown’s wife opened the door and the men went in. They cursed the negroes and maintained that Brown was hid in the house. ( They searched everywhere, and final- | ly, failing to find him, took an axe and broke the stove to pieces, then all the chairs and some of the other furniture. Though Brown’s wife plead with them the? continued to destroy property, cutting open bags of corn j and meal, and finally took the corn and meal of! with them. After they had gotten a short distance from the house they shot into it. Brown is afraid to return to his home. It will be remembered that State Constable Eubanks and some other officers arrested Anderson Brown with some liquor Sunday night. La ter on, he was released from the county jail. Monday night the otfi cers raided the country to the south east of Blacksburg, capturing a block ade still and some liquor. The men operating the still escaped. The at tack on Brown and his family is the result of that raid. They claim that he is the one who gave the informa tion to the officers which led to the destruction of the still. In the section of country referred to, more stills have been destroyed than in any other section of the coun try except in the “Dark Corner” of Greenville county. “Stands” are to be found on almost every branch, and from one to another they go, trying to elude the officers. And another thing, it would surprise the public should.the names of those backing the operators of these moonshine outfits be known. Prominent always in church affairs, they seek to be con sidered respectable, yet furnish mon ey, corn, still, etc-, and profit by the conduct of men who prefer a life of lawlessness to one of civilizition and respectability.

Former Property of a French An arch int Believed to Be the Moat Complete In Existence—Entire Lot Pnrchnaed Fur $100, and Scraps Coaid Be Sold For Over That Sam. The story of the succeseful acquisi tion at a nominal price of what is be lieved to be the most complete collec tion of anarchistic literature ill the world was recently made public by the library authorities of Columbia university. Some time ago, says the New York Post, it came to the attention of Dr. Vladimir G. Sienkhovitch, the univer sity bibliophile, that a French an archist long resident at London, and of considerable literary ability, had died in the course of the winter, and that his library had passed to administra tors who were plainly ignorant of the character of the calling of the man. Dr. Sienkhovitch, however, knew that the dead man had spent the greater part of his life in making an exhaus tive collection of all the valuable an archistic literature extant; he noticed that this collection, which consisted not only of books and pamphlets, but also of posters, periodicals, Journals and broadsides, was turned over by the ad ministrators to the Sothebys, the Lon don book auctioneers, and soon found hidden away in their spring catalogue au item advertising the sale of the entire collection. This item appeared to have escaped the notice of European librarians, and eveu of those dealers who specialize in the literature of political and social science. Dr. James H. Caulield, libra rian of Columbia, appreciating the sig nificance of this “find,” at once pro ceeded to collect funds for the pur chase, and was soon able to authorize his deputy to bid £50 ($250) on the articles listed. A cable message an nounced a few day's later that the en tire collection had been acquired with out competition for the ridiculous fig ure of £20 ($100). The entire collection, in twenty-four large boxes, arrived at New York in the spring. The work of examinatiou, classification, appraisal, cataloguing and bindiug has been going ou now for several weeks, but has not yet been completed. Neither the scientific nor the pecuniary value of the consigu- mont can as yet be ascertained, but as au indication of the worth of the col lection it may be stated that much of this material appears in uo existing bibliography, being hitherto unknown; furthermore, for single pamphlets of fers have been made running into four figures of marks and francs. The list includes 252 sets of newspa pers and periodicals, nine-tenths of which are absolutely complete; iu addi tion there are nearly 300 anarchistic pamphlets and books, a collection of 270 huge sheet posters and broadsides, most of which have no duplicates; hundreds of photographs of prominent agitators of all countries; an enormous body of letters, documents, manifestoes and autograph manuscripts by most of the leading anarchists, from Bakouuiu, the Russian, down to the present time, and a vast quantity of inflammatory songs and clippings from nonanarch- istic publications. Access could be had to only a small part of the collection, most of It now being In the hands of the binders, but an idea of its scope, magnitude and importance can be gained from the fol lowing specimen items: A death war rant, forecasting to the inner circle the assassination of President Sadi-Carnot of France six hours before its occur rence; nine manuscript writings by the famous Louise Michel; a warrant is sued from a London police court for the apprehension of a desperate foreign incendiary; the school books of Rava- chol; announcements of attacks to be directed against nearly all of the crowned heads of Europe and photo graphs of Luchenl, who assassinated the empress of Austria. Another strik ing exhibit is a batch of scorched pa pers found on the person of a London anarchist who died while hurling a bomb into a crowded square. Among the periodicals in the collec tion are La Pere Peinurd, published in Paris by E. Pouget from 1889 to 1896, only two copies being known; Der So- clallzt, published in Berlin; the Alarm, wliich comes from Chicago; La Ques- tlone Sociale, an Italian paper printed In Paterson, N. J.; El Porvenlr Anar- quista, from Barcelona, Spain; Gazeta Robotnicza, a Polish publication from Chicago; Volne Llsty, a New York anarchistic paper in the Czechish ! tongue; Freedom, the great organ of the London agitators; the Beacon, printed in San Francisco; Le Tempre Nouveau, Prince Krapotkin’s paper, and Caserio, which appears in Buenos Ayres, the capital of the Argentine Re public. These periodicals are printed in English, German, French, all the Scandinavian languages, new Greek, Italian, Polish, Russian, Slavonic, Czechish, Spanish, Y'iddish and many other dialects and languages. On the opening of Columbia’s one hundred and fiftieth year in the autumn the entire collection will be placed conspicuously on view in the university library. A member of the faculty who has specialized in this field made the following cortment on the anarchica: “The collection has equal Interest for students of modern history, of soci ology, of penology and of morbid psy chology; and it Is unquestionably the most complete of its kind, nof only In the United States, but in the World.’' TO NATIONALIZE CHINESE. Signor Mayor dr* Planchr* and Bar on von Sternharg Will Make Long Trip*—Thorough Investigation to Be Made of the Condition* In Large Cities. “Commercial diplomacy” is the new field in which the members of the diplomatic corps at Washington are striving for supremacy, says the New Y’ork Herald. At other world capitals the line between the diplomatic and consular services Is strictly drawn, but the wave of commercialism which has swept over the United States and in vaded Europe demands that the for eign envoy accredited to Washington be posted on Amertcan financial and industrial developments to protect the interests of his countrymen. That they may get in closer touch with the consulates of their respective governments and themselves study American business methods and condi tions in all sections of the country sev eral diplomats have been instructed to make inspections of their consulates in the United States and report what changes and additions s.eem advisable. Signor Mayor des Planches, the Italian ambassador, will spend a month on a trip through the west as far as San Francisco and up the const to Seattle. He expects to stop on his way out at Chicago, Denver, Salt La \ Helena and other important cities. The ambassador’s trip as origina y mapped out was curtailed by the net s- sity of his returning to Washington from the dedicatory exercises at St. Ixiuis in April to sign the last of the Venezuelan protocols. Another year he hopes to spend several months on the same route in further study of the west. Returning to Washington in October from the Weirs, N. H., where he is spending the summer, Baron von Stern- burg, the German ambassador, will start on an extensive trip of inspection of the-German consulates in the west, going to Chicago, St. Louis, Denver, San Francisco, I.os Angeles and prob ably Seattle. Since coming to Washington the am bassador has had occasion to reorgan ize his entire embassy staff, and in se lecting his new secretaries he has done so with a view to the vast amount of commercial work the embassy is caHod upon to do. As each new secretary has arrived the ambassador has sent him off to visit the centers of industry in the east and middle west before per mitting him to take up Ids duties at the embassy. While no important changes have been made in eithenthe German or the Italian consular services, both ambas sadors are determined to make a thor ough investigation of the conditions In the large cities, and will advise their governments of the character of work their consuls are doing. Senor Ojeda, the Spanish minister, will make New York his headquarters for the summer, but will spend most of his time In visits to other large cities to make the personal acquaint ance of his country's consuls. M. Jusserand, the French ambassa dor, is also staying on this side this summer to get In touch with American life in all parts of the country and be able to post his government on com mercial as well as diplomatic matters. Tlte Object of the Onoek Man 'Wool, a Tlew Society. Branches are about to l>e established throughout America of the Quoek Mun Wool, which, literally translated, j | means “nation, men. society,” or socie ty of patriots, says a San Francisco dispatch to the Kansas City Star. It is an organization of Chinese who believe In the spreading of education from | their native land and Its defense against the Incursions of foreign pow ers, particularly Russia. A large and influential meeting of Chinese was recently held in San Fran cisco. The adoption of methods re quired to place China in her rightful place in the political world was urged by many speakers. An appeal for prac tical help in the form of money met with a liberal response. This is the most decided action ever taken by the Chiuese in the United States looking toward a nationalistic movement. NEW HOUSE ON HIS LAND. Boone County (Mo.) Farmer Made Rich by the Flood. As a result of the recent flood in Missouri I*. C.

The water was all over Mr. Nuck- les’ farm and drove him to higher , ground. When he returned the other day, he found the house on a piece of bottom land. It Is in good condition and appears to have been recently built. .All the furniture and clothing had been carried to the second floor and are only slightly damaged.

While cleaning an engine at the North White Plains yard the other day an employee of the Harlem Railroad company found the diamond breastpin worn by Mrs. Mary Agnes Hall Potter when she was killed the other evening, says a New Y'ork special dispatch to the Philadelphia Press. The pin was tightly fastened on the front of the en gine cab between the boiler and the window. The pin of the brooch was stuck Into the cab nearly a half inch. A railroad man said that it was the strangest incident he had ever heard of in connection with death on tho rail, that the pin should have gone with such force as to Imbed itself in the cab of the engine, which, since killing Mrs. Potter, has run several hundred miles and made 300 station stops. fl Lilvt *~=V sSiHOs i hi ww H We Paint anything at any time ;md anywhere.

Sir Thomas Lipton recently made a score of pretty Bayonne (N. J.) girls happy, says the New York World. They are members of the Epworth League of the First Methodist church and had an outing to Westfield. They reached the station at Elizabeth just us the train on which Sir.Thomas was returning from Washington pulled in. As soon as the girls learned that the British sportsman was on the train they insisted upon seeing him. Sir Thomas left his car and shook each girl’s hand and gave them a handsome bouquet to divide. Miss Coxon, the only English girl In the party, expi eas ed a hope that the Shamrock might win. Sir Thomas shook her hand again and, taking a rose from his coat, presented It to her. The girls cheered Sir Thomas as he returned to his car. Santon-Duonont’* Mfcht Flight. M. Santos-Dumont late the other night made a nocturnal aerial flight as far as the fashionable Outdoor club grounds on the He de Puteaux, in the Seine, says a Paris cable dispatch to the New Y'ork Herald. He had a pow erful acetylene lamp in his air ship, which flashed on the fashionable throng enjoying the cool night air at that fa vorite society resort. Owing to the dark and mist over the river he had to be led by the guide rope part of the way. The Mosquito'* New Foe.

Fan Painting Fnahtonable. An exhibition of ancient fans in Vien na recently attracted many visitors. The Austrian archduchess loaned many quaint and beautiful specimens, some painted on vellum and parch ment, others having designs transcrib ed on the skins of serpents and swans. There were several fans of the time of Louis XIV., that age of coquetry, these being very richly painted and having the ivory sticks united by ribbons. Fans of carved and pierced ivory formed a very interesting exhibit Sev eral of these, loaned by the Duchess of Cumberland, were decorated in gold and beautiful medallions. Fan paint ing is said to be the present craze of English fashionable demoiselles. The “American Fever” In Norway. The “American fever” is spreading so fast In Norway that the authorities are becoming alarmed. The country is very sparsely settled, having only *bout 2,000,000 inhabitants. Of these 28,000 emigrated last year, mostly to America, and the indications are that that figure will be nearly doubled this year. Why We Are Confldent.
