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.

Suicide'* Brenntpin Stuck In Engine.
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.

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.

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.
