Davislandtheir visits in Spencer On nuImerous occasions the members ofthe company would ride up to theDavis home and order supperprepared for thirty or forty menWhen the meal was ready Quantrell and his companions wouldquietly take their places aroundthe table and when the leaderrapped three times with his knifeon the table the men would beginto eat They always stood whileeating and spoke never a wordduring the meal Quantrell andhis companions were always po

lite at the table and in the Davishome

After finishing the meal QuantIrell would thank the host afterthe manner of a Chesterfield forhis hospitality and would add

fears for us We can take careof ourselves And in a momentQuantrell Frank and Jesse Jamesand Sue Monday OnearmBerry Dick Mitchell Capt Ma

MARRY OR GET OUT OF TOWN

lis What Greenwood Ohio People ToM

the Coons

IA scramble for marriage licenses at the office of the City Clerkof Greenwood Ohio resulted ina riot and five men and two wo-

men were seriously injuredThe indirect cause of the rio

was an edict issued by MayorCarson to the 200 negroes of thetown to get married and settledown or leave town within twelvehours Wednesday night two patrolmen raided a house known astheIthose caught in the dragnetbrought forth the Mayors edictThe rush for marriage licens waspoliceIof the town had Jo be called outto preserve order Men foughtwith each other to get on theclerks desk and in the scrambletwo prospective brides weretrampled under foot Four of

Up to noon more than a hun-

dred licenses had been issuedand preachers ill thee village and j

Cincinnati were kept busy tyingnuptial knots A few more were j

issued during the afternoonand it is thought that nearly every negro in the town will be amarried man tomorrow A rigidinspecttion will be made by Mayor Carsons lieutenants tomorrow and every colored residentwho is unable to display a bride

and a marriage certificate will berun out of town

The above occurrence tookplace north of the famous Masonand Dixons line Had it occurred south of that line what a howlwould have gone up for the poor

negroTheSouth has had the negro

to contend with for a centuryand its patience sometimes gaveout and the negro was handledpretty roughly at times In factthe Southern negro has been flogged until his hide was all weltsHe has been lynched and even

southIernersty had reached the point beyondwhich it was inhuman to goNever is there an instance inwhich a Southern negro no matter how heinous his crime hasbeen made to walk up and becomethe victim of matrimony Andthen to think that a whole townfull of them were so cruelly treated at one time And what goodcan come of it1 To make one

RICHEST MAN LIVING

The Czar or Russia is Given that Dis-

tinction

It was reported from St Peters-burg the other day on semiofficial authority that the Czar hadgiven 109090000 from his pri

warIindividual donor toany causeThe Czar is the richest man on

earth Even Mr Rockefellersmany millions would look small

comparisonHisare almost in

I credible It is estimated thatthe magnificent state ball whichwas given just as the war withJapan broke out cost over 1000000

The Czars gift to the orthodoxchurch in the course of the yearaverages over 2500000

9n the other hand the churchturns over large revenues to himestimated to exceed the amountwhich it receives

With the exception of the Shahof Persia the Czar owns a greater fortune in diamonds and precious stones than any man in th

worldThe

Czar is the luckiest man o

earth in the matter of windarte

of money by will which are noalways accepted-

Delicate diplomacy is requiredto induce the Czar to accept alegacy As a rule a wealthyRussian who desires to leavemoney to him communicates withsome official of the imperial household before he makes his willand obtains the gracious consentof his Majesty to his design

Even when this has been doneand the man dies careful investigation is made before the money is accepted with the object o

finding out whether anybody whohad a moral claim on the testator will suffer by his dispositionof his wealth If so the Czarorders that the money be diverted to the proper channels

These legacies when acceptedare never used by the Czar forhis private gratification He regards them as a trust fund andthey have been so regarded bymost of his ancesters This fundis drawn upon for charitable andreligious purposes

Five millions of rubles 500009 were given from it to relievethe starving peasants during thelast terrible famine in Bessaraba

The Czar made liberal donations from it to the last Indianfamine relief fund and in aid ofthe negro peasants of Martiniquewho suffered by the eruptions ofMont Pelee

It is impossible to arrive atany exact estimate of the wealthof his imperial Majesty said ahigh diplomatist from whom-most of the facts set forth in thisarticle were obtained but Ishould think that on the mostconservative estimate he mustbe worth from all sources farmore than 50000000 a yearThis is actual revenue and doesnot take into account the hugetreasures in specie bullion anddiamonds which are stored in thevaults of the Peterhof palace inthe citadel of Kronstadt and else-

whereAlthough he is undoubtedly

the richest man in the world hisimperial Majesty is a man of thesimplest tastes and his purelypersonal expenses would probablybe easily covered by 50 a day

Except when it is necessaryto assume the outward show o

his exalted rank he dresses in asuit that you could buy for 25
