The Indictment alleges forgery In the

THE LYNCHING OF WHITE.
Public Opinion Deplore Violence,
hot Sara Vrno-ennee Wai Jn.
WILMINGTON. Del., June 24.-The
excitement attending the grewsome
tragedy enacted outside the city limits
when George K. White, the. negro rnv
Ishpr and murderer of seventeen-year-old
Helen S. Bishop, was burned at the
Htake has subsided. The swift nnd
dire punishment meted out to the per
petrator of the terrible crime Is the sole
topic of conversation, but the details
are calmly reheursed. Public senti
ment appears to deplore the resort to
mob violence, but the consensus of
opinion Is that summary vengeance
alone could atone for the brutal out
rage upon the life and honor of the
young girl.
It Is generally believed that had the
courts brought the murderer to speedy
trial the tragedy would have been
averted. The judges who bad post
poned action upon the case of the con
fessed assailant of Miss Bishop explain
their action by stating that popular
prejudice und Indignation would have
precluded the possibility of a fair trial
for the culprit.
THE BERRY MURDER.
Senator Heaaln Sara Dewey and A .
aoclataa Can Clear Thenmel vc.
TOPEKA, Kan., June 24.-The line
of defense that will be made In behalf
of Chnuncey Dewey and his associates
will be self defense. It is not admitted
that either Dewey or Wilson or Mc
Bride, the three who are under arrest,
tired the fatal shots.
"Not a particle of evidence was Intro
duced In the preliminary hearing
against Wilson," said Senator Hessln
in discussing the evidence.
"Roy Berry testified that he saw
Dewey fire the shot which struck him
In the mouth. Beuch Berry testified
that McBrlde fired the shot which
killed his father, nnd he says he also
saw Wilson fire a shot, but it did not
hit anybody. That Is tho substance of
nil their testimony as to the shooting,
bo that there was no positive evidence
against Wilson, and, even tnklng Roy
Berry's statement ns true, there is no
evidence against Chauucey Dewey on
the charge of murder.
"The Deweya were harassed by the
Berrys on every hnnd nnd will have
no difficulty in clenrlng themselves of
the charge of murder."

GREENWICH, Conn., June 24. Lit
tle Genevieve Pcnts, the eight-year-old
daughter of the Insane millionaire wall
paper manufacturer, Alfred Peats, died
In the garduners cottage on the estate
from the burns she received In the
burning of Alta Crest, the country
home of the family on Electric hill.
Peats, who was driven Insane through
stress of business, has somewhat recov
ered his reason In the most marvelous
manner after the fire which burned his
little daughter Genevieve to death and
destroyed his home.
While his mind Is not entirely normal
after months of Insanity, It Is partly
clear, and It la now believed that he
will completely recover his reason.
The heroic mother, who risked hei
life to carry her burning child through
tho flames and who hereclf was seri
ously burned while extinguishing the
fire which was consuming the little one.
Is resting easier, and the doctors say
she will recover.
Mrs. Peats' sister, who was also
burned In escaping from the fire, Is re
ported Improved. She will recover.
Pear Is now expressed concerning
Mrs. Peats' strength to withstand the
mental strain which must come whet
the learns of the death of her child, the
one hope which remained after her hus
band drove himself insane by overwork
In building his great fortune.
PEATS INSANE IN BLAZING HOME
Millionaire Wall Paper Mnn'a Child
Domed and Mar Die.
GREENWICH, Conn.. June 23.
More misfortune has befallen Alfred
Peats, a wealthy wall paper manufac
turer, who last November while at the
height of his success In his control of
the wall paper trade of the country was
literally driven Insane by prosperity.
Alta Crest, his handsome residence,
was burned to the ground last night.
His eight-year-old daughter, Genevieve,
is so badly burned that she will die,
while Mrs. Teats, who rescued the lit
tle girl and ran with her from the
burning building, also received serious
Injuries.
Mr. Pcnts wns confined In one of the
wings of the bouse in the care of sev
eral attendants. Excited by the fire, he
began to struggle violently, nnd It took
live men to control him. They wrapped
htm In blankets and took hlui to the
house of n neighbor.
All the servants fled from the house,
which was destroyed, with all the treas
ures it contained. Mrs. Pcnts, nearly
frantic over the sufferings of her little
daughter, gave no thought to the tire,
nnd so there wns considerable delay be
fore nn alarm was sent in. The fire
men could do nothing to save the place
and confined their efforts to protecting
the other buildings on the grounds.

THE RUSSIAN NOTE.
erTlaa
Minister Await Itla Pe-
tar'a Action.
BELGRADE. Servla, June 23. The
position of the ministry Is becoming
more unenviable dally because of the
Russian nnd Austrian demands for the
punishment of the nssnsslus of King
Alexander and Queen Drnga.
The terms of the Russian note caused
almost a panic among the cabinet min
isters, who are anxiously awaiting the
arrival of King Teter to extricate them
from the dilemma. The war minister is
the paramount power In the ministry,
ns he Is bncked by the entire army, and
he threatens severe resentment in tho
ense of any hint by a member of the
cabinet looking townrd punishment of
the conspirators.
It Is reported that the new king of
Servla was not only fully Informed of
the military conspiracy nt Belgrade,
but it was actually carried out by his
agents. The officers broke Into the ko
nak with the fixed determination of
killing the royal couple. The question
of demanding the abdication of King
Alexander was not mentioned. On the
contrary, the late king, perceiving his
peril, spontaneously offered to renounco
the crown, but the officers had deter
mined to assassinate him.

Tho Ideal Advertizing Medium-
The advertizing manager of a big
city fiim says: The ideal adverttzing
medium is the home newspaper, It
is a paper which is so filled with good
thoughts for every member ol the
family that it finds a warm welcome
and an eager reading wherever it goes.
It is free from crime and scandal and
unwholeseme things. It takes more
pride in the quality of its circulation
than in the mere quantity but it has
the quantity as well as the quality. It
is not boastful nor too much given to
finding fault. It wins the confidence
of the people by its simplicity, honest
purity and progressiveness. It han
dles the news of the day in a manner
which appeals to the better class of
people and to the better rature of all
people. It emphasizes the hopeful
features oi the news rather than the
discordant ones. It has a permanent
location for its special features. It is
an authority on whatever it under
takes to exploit. It has a reputation
for correctness. It regulates its adver
tizing pages by reason requirements
regarding display and illustrations, so
that the page presents a pleasing
whole.
"My son," said one of our busi
ness men the other day as another
man was on his way to the bank
with an I-raade-the-world style,
"don't jump at conclusions when
you see a man going to the batik
with his head in the air and the
ends of two $70 bills ostentatiously
striking out between the leaves of
his bank book. He may not be
going to deposit $5,000 in 20's.
He may be going to take up a
90 day promissory note that is so
close to a p-otest that the recording
angel is listening to hear the notary
smile!"
