"Mob With Noose Threaten Blacks If They Don't Move." eo runs the top head line of a news story In the Phil? adelphia Evening Tim u. The story Itself runs: "Determined that the I community's resolution to keep the' city a purely 'white town* should not be violated, and enraged by the ap pearanc* of two negroes, who they belle /ed Intended to move Into a house at 403 Market street, Glouces? ter. N. J.. a mob of more thar 600 men and boys stormed the structure for fully an hour and a half and threatened to burn the bulldlni un? less the occupants fled the place Ev? ery pane of glaas In the house was shattered, the exterior frame work was wrecked and the doors battered down by angry bombarders. Torches were secured and preparations made to Are the place. Ropes also weie se? cured, and when the police airlved the crowd was In a mood for d'astlc measures" Meantime the house's occupants were hiding In the cellar, without any understanding of why tempests raged. The loudly threaten? ed burning, however, drove them out, and from the windows a w >man pleaded for their lives. She was a white woman. In response to cries for the negroes, she declared that , there were no negroes about. The mob. searching the house thoroi ghly, found this to be the case. False ru? mors had been spread that a couple moving from New 8haron. N.

The Wonderful Dragon Trees ot Ten ertfe. Objects of Interest In Ten er I e are the celebrated dragon trees, which are really a species of gigantic sp?. ragus. One tree, situated at Lnguna, the ecclesiastical capital of t le is? land, Is said to be several thcusand years old. The growth of these drag? on trees Is very slow, and they throw out no branches until thty have blos? somed, which seldom takes pla :e be? fore their fifteenth year, and some? times not until their thlrteth. The oldest dragon tree known Irs) the Is* land was that at Orotava, which was at least six thousand years old- some botanists say ten thousand! It was about sixty feet high, with a trunk 48 feet In circumference at the base. The ancient Inhabitants of tie is? land, the Guanchos, performed their religious rites In Its hollow trunk. In 1867 the upper part of th? tree was broken off during a storm, and, though every effort was made t > pre? serve the remainder, It gradually de? cayed, and there Is now no trac B of It left. The sap of the tree, a resinous substance like dark treacle, Is called "dragron's blood." It becomes l.rit tle and crumbling when dry, and is an article of commerce used in med? icine. There are other kinds of drag? on trees In different parts of the world, but this particular species is peculiar to the Canary and Cape Verde Islands.?World Wide Maga? zine. ROW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.

New York, Nov. 26.?R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review tomorrow will say: i "Favorable industrial conditions remain unchanged and new produc? tion Is now proceeding at an enor? mous rate. The recent warm weather checked activity in some mercantile lines, and higher prices and specula? tive developments work unfavorably in others, and this gives the superfi? cial impression of a panic in business revival. But the basic facts will point to a remarkable industrial ex? pansion. "The heavy demand for steel pro? ducts continues and some reports in? dicate that specifications and new or? ders thus far this month have been even greater than the remarkable tonnage booked during October. There Is Increasing evidence of the reluctance of mills to accept business extending far into the future. "With a new and high basis for cotton prints, effected during the week, a somewhat smaller volume of business by Jobbers than cusiomarv Is reported. Converters of fine cot? tons have been increasing their con? tract obligations. Export trade In cotton goods is very quiet, although many samples are being sent to the Phillippines. The demand for wool? ens and worsteds continues active. Cotton yarns are quiet, while the woolen and worsted yarns are easier. "Trade continues to improve in footwear and business at present Is of larger proportions than at any time since the past two years. The leather situation remains very strong, although business is not quite as ac? tive." He Must Choose Between Life and Law. When by a public scandal atten? tion Is called to the fact that a man In the conduct of business has vio? lated some law or police regulation, we think he has done wrong, says Charles Edwards Russell In "Success Magazine.'1 It Is wrong for him, In violation of the law, to obstruct the sidewalk, or In violation of the law to occupy space under the street, or to defy the building department; wrong for him to do these things, and wrong to pay aldermen and po? lice captains for the illegal privilege of doing them. Of course, we are right in this thought. All these acts are wrong, but we overlook the fact that they are what may be called capitalized wrong; that is to aay, they have become part and parcel of the conditions under which busi? ness may be done, not alone by this one man whom we condemn, but by all men. They are the established customs of his trade; they have be? come Institutions more powerful than laws of police; we n.ust bow o them Neither wit nor will can stand against them. Suppose to the con? trary. Suppose him to be of such moral fiber that he Is able to stand alone and feel quite indifferent to the codes of his neighbors. Suppose him, therefore, to say, "I will not use the space under the sidewalks, I will not obstruct the highways, I will not violate in the slightest par? ticular the regulations of the govern? ment." The only result would be that he would cease to do business. His own conscience, to be sure, will be free from any reflection that he has departed from the prescribed duty of the citizen, if such a reflec? tion would cause him any pain, but this will in no wise help the public nor vindicate the law. The man who takes his place will obstruct the side? walk, defy the building department and pay blackmail to the wardman as Inevitably as the sun shines. He will do these things, or things like them, or he in his turn will cease to do business. He may be at heart the beat of men; most honest, upright, jealous of his good name and cherishing stern principles of civic duty, yet necessity will force him. Against his will, to do the things that are done In his trade, law or noiaw. He must do them; there is no other way. And if by any chance he is ? xposed and arrested and ruined ns a penalty for doing 10016 010? of these things, the man who succeeds him at the diii stand win do them no less; and so will the man across the stre? t find the man in the next block. For such ate the condition! of the trade, ami no law Of RlRtl'l making can change them, ?I'oley's Kidney Remedy will cure any case of kidney or bladder trouble that Is not beyond the reach of medi? cine.
