THE TEXAS HURRICANE
RACED WITH FURY IN NEW
FOUNDLAND YESTERDAY.
(By Telegraph to Virglnian-Pllot)
St. Johns, N. F.. Sept. 13?The Texas
hurricane reached here tnst night and is
raging with full fury this evening. It
has swept the coast, wrecking many
fishing places. Numerous schooners huve
been driven ashore near St. Johns and
tho telegraph wires in remote localities
are down. It Is not known how much
damage has been done at distant points,
but It Is believed the storm must have
played havoc among tho fishing vessels
on the Grand Banks, as the wind has
blown from every quarter of the compass
within the last twenty-four hours.
Lancashire Cotton Trade.
(By Telegraph to Vlrginlan-Pllot)
Manchester, Sept. 13.?The prospects of
the Lancashire cotton trade for the year
to come are regarded as gloomy. In ad?
dition to the reported smallnoss of the
new crop thcro Is a special reason for
reducing tho output, namely, that India
and China, owing to famine and war.
have not consumed the usual quantity of
cotton goods, heavy stocks of which aro
on hand there.
The stoppage has already had a serious
effect on the Burnley weaving trade.
To-day mills representing 2.000 looms
stopped nnd there Is every indication of
a wholesale stoppage for the next two
months.
Value of Man's Life.
The Supremo Courts have recently
been busy with a curious question?Unit
of deciding the value of a man's life.
The decision reached wus that tho life
of the average man Is worth just what
ho is able to enrn. A man's earnings
depend to a great extent upon his phyni
cal health, nnd it Is always within his
power to Improve his condition. The
stomach Is the measure of health and
strength. Every man may hn be bright,
nctlvo and happy, If his digestion is
normal. If It Is not. Hostetter'fl Stomach
Bitters will make It so. 11 puts the di?
gestive organs In condition to properlv
digest and assimilate food. Try It for
constipation, Indigestion, dyspepsia, bil?
iousness, liver or kidney troubles. It has
cured stomach aliments for the pnst fifty
years, and there is nothing Just as good.

LILLIAN CLAYTON JEWETT
NOT ALLOWED TO ADDRESS BAP?
TIST NEGROES.
(By Telegraph to Virglnian-Pllot)
Richmond, Va.. Sept. 13.?Miss Lilian
Cl.tytuu Jewell gffCCCeOBo Ih creating
a sensation nt the meeting of the Na?
tional Baptist Association here to-day,
and insisted on speaking despite the
refusal of the ministers and delegates
to endorse her.
Just as the morning session was be?
ing brought to a close Miss Jewett,
who occupied a seat in the gallery,
arose and began to address the meet?
ing. Her remarks were prefaced by
the words: "Ladies and gentlemen."
and she went on to say that she was
the friend and champion of the negro
race, although the convention had re?
fused to accord her the privilege of the
floor to deliver her address.
Continuing, she said that she was on
the roll of Virginia, and would speak.
She asked all to follow her into the
street In front of the church, and said
that she would there address them.
She declared that she would speak,
even If the people wanted to lynch her
for so doing.
At this point an attempt was made
by a member of the convention to raise
the hymn, "Throw Out the Llfe-Line,"
but the president called him to or?
der, and stated in a few words that it
was not the desire of the convention
to take any part In Miss Jewett's
movements. Miss Jewett left the gal?
lery and went out Into the street,
which was packed. Standing in a car?
riage, she spoke for about ten min?
utes on her usual theme. "Antl-lynch
ing." Then she shook hands all
around, the negroes pressing forward
to greet her.
The following statement was given
out to-day:
"Miss Lillian Clayton Jewett, the
anti-lyncbing ngitator of Boston, will
not address the National Baptist Con?
vention, which Is now in session in the
Fifth' Street Baptist Church, of which
I nm the pastor. We cannot afford to
indulge any one in remarks that would
tend to mar the present relations that
now exist between the white and col?
ored people of this city and State.
(Signed) "W. F. GRAHAM."
A committee, consisting of Rev. C.
R. Morris, of Boston, Mass.; Revs.
Adams. William H. Stewart and Rev.
W. F. Graham, pastor of the Fifth
Street Baptist Church, was appointed
to wait on Miss Jewett and tell her
not to speak before the convention.
This committee performed Its duty.
Pev. Graham said that it had been
decided best not to even have Miss
Jewett introduced, as she might at?
tempt to say something and say too
much.
ROOSEVELT'S TOUR*
SPOKE YESTERDAY IN SOUTH
DAKOTA.
(By Telegraph to Vlrglnlan-Pllot.)
Watertown, S. D.. Sept. 13.?The first
stop of the special train in bearing the
Roosevelt party, after leaving Brook
lngs this morning:, was matle at Castle-,
wood, where Governor Roosevelt madcC
a brief address. "Watertown was the
next stop. Here an outdoor meeting
was held and Governor Roosevelt spoke
at some length. Governor Roosevelt
said. In part:
"I would like to discuss not only the
serious questions of free silver, of
trusts, the tariff, orderly preservation
of law and upholding of the flag, but I
would like to discuss even the opera
bouffe questions of militarism and Im?
perialism presented by our opponents.
Certain of our Democratic friends have
the audacity to say that they repre?
sent tho principles of the founders of
the Republican party of long ago. If
they had any feeling or a drop of the
blood that ran In the veins of the great
original statesman who conducted tho
country through the four years of civil
war. and then gave up his life that his
country might live, they would turn
wllh Indignation from the stage where
the candidate of Democracy speaks to
those nominating him about the con- I
sent of the governed as regards the
Philippine. . knowing that one of the
chief chances of his election and abso?
lute triumph of his party consists In
nullifying the doctrine in some of the
Southern States which Lincoln gave his
life to free."

i Ing the very sincere share that the

public and the whole nation take in the
calamity that has proved such a cruel

a special train from Somerset. They
have no definite plans, hut expect to re?
main here for some time. There was

During the stop nt Johnstown some
one In the crowd called out: "Major,
what are you going to do with us the
next four years?" The President
smiled nnd replied: "It Is more Im?
portant Just now to know what you are
going to do with me the next four
years."
"We are going to stand by you," was
the rejoinder, und the crowd shouted
its approval of this last remark.

AN ENGLISH AUTHORESS' POSES
Prove Rather Daunting to Her Un- i
a (Tee ted A m c r I ea n VI s 11 o r s.
Now and then stories have come
across the sea to tho effect that Mrs.
Humphry Ward Is deficient In humor
To be sure, her books would not lead
one to expect any particularly hilarious
finality to be part of her make up.
lint lately, says the Junior Munsey, the
rumor has been blown over that she is
riven to an elaboration In entertain?
ment which would better befit a new
brewer baronet than the creator of
Mnrcella and other democratic charac?
ters.
For Instance, nn American woman
who went armed with Introductions to
her was Invited out to her place.
Dropping down to the drawing room to
tea. the visitor found her hostess a
vision a la Gainsborough, In a big,
plumed hat and an elaborate frock.
Mrs. Ward explained, as she poured the
tea. that she had been out In her gar?
den gathering flowers. She had evi?
dently attired herself for the pastoral
part according to the Watteau shep?
herdess standard rather than that of
the modern Englishwoman.
Another party of Americans, Invited
to lunch at her place, were properly
Impressed by tho fact that there was
one liveried serving man for every two
guests at the simple noonday repast,
and that it lasted until almost dinner
lime. The same people, lunching with
the Bryces, of "American Common?
wealth" fame, a few days later, were
amused at the contrast. There was a
pleasing absence of formality, and halt
the lime Mr. Rryce went to the side?
board himself for what he wanted.

NOVELTY FOR THE TABLE.
A Pretty Fruit Piece That Anyone With
a Little Taste Can Arrange.
Here Is ah Idea that may appeal to an
ontertuiner: it Is an evident fact that
the time-honored fruit dish, with its as?
sortment of fruit, no longer has any
place on a modern table; each kind of
fruit Is put by Itself on a separate sil?
ver dish artistically arranged. Anyone
who has a little taste can Imitate the
arrangement, says Anna Wentworth
Scars In Woman's Home Companion.
Tako tour plates of equal size; put on
them some green leaves?bay leaves,
geraniums or whatever one happens to
have at hand?and arrange the. fruits to
suit the different kinds. Make a pyra?
mid of bright red apples, with four ap?
ples for a base, three oa top, and one on
lop of all. with the leaves in between.
Arrange oranges in the same way, but
on the third plate lay bunches of grapes
carelessly on leaves, and on the lourtn
put bannanas. Lo'! with the four plates
at the four corners the table Is dressed
at once. Nuts may be used Instead of
fruit on one plate, and tigs and dates on
the other, but beware of the old-fash?
ioned fruit basket or dish if you wish
your table to be up-to-date.
EVERYTHING ARRANGED.
She?"Have you everything planned
for our elopement, George?"
He?"Everything, darling: every?

write homo the news from Montreal, at
London write a letter for forgiveness,
and from Paris we will cable for cash
to get back home again."?Puck.
TIME WILL TELL.

factory coal oa the market.
