G rover Franklin, the negro who was hanged to a tree by a mob of 200 masked men the other Sunday night, is now in the hands of the legal authorities, alive, and will probably survive to be hanged again, this time by the law. The circumstances concerning this case of attempted lynching are unusual. Franklin was seized on Saturday night at about eight o'clock by the mob. The night before he had been caught robbing a cash drawer of the mill of a cotton oil company where he was employed. On being found he shot and seriously of wounded the secretary-treasure- r the company. The negro then fled.

Three or four of the official's closest friends, accordingly, began the formation of a mob of determined men who could be depended upon to wrest Franklin from the grasp of the Two hundred men, heavily sheriff. armed and masked with black face cloths, were Anally assembled. They rode to the jail and demanded the prisoner. In the face of such a force the sheriff was powerless and the negro was seized by the mob. He was dragged to the northern part of the town, shrieking for mercy all the while.

In the meantime Sheriff liutler had gathered a force of his deputies, by a few citizens, and this body was in hot pursuit. The members of the mob, therefore, hurriedly remounted their horses, fired a volley of shots at the negro riddling him, as they believed and dashed away.

If he dies and the negro recovers, Franklin will, in all probability, once more undergo the experience of being hanged. It was found that only one of the many bullets fired at the negro had taken effect, and the wound was not serious. The lynchers, In their hurry, had failed to string him up high enough, and he was enabled to touch the ground with his toes. Leads Thief Gang. Los Angeles, Cal.

PASTOR HOUR TAKING WITHIN OF LAST HIS BURIAL LOOK FRIEND DETECTS MUSCLE TWITCHING. AT Washington Whisperings A Bits of News Gathered Interesting at tKe National Capital. William Young of Savannah barely escaped being buried alive, regaining consciousness only an hour before the time set for the funeral. Young had been 111 a long time and a few days ago he apparently died. A physician was at his bedside and he said the man was dead. The body was prepared for burial by an undertaker and placed in a casket. Friends of the dead man went to the house to express their sympathy to the family, among the visitors being Rev. J. E. McLaughlin, pastor of the church to which the Youngs belong. The mourners had assembled for the burial and the time was only an St. Joseph, Mo. Congressmen Listen to theSuggestions committee. ferred to appropriate Committees, too, have come to pay heed to these petitions and memorials. The written suggestions that come in are looked upon as a sort of And barometer to public sentiment. what member of congress is not always anxious to learn the drift of public sentiment in his district touching any public question? An examination of the files of the senate and house shows that the petitions and memorials come from all kinds of people. It frequently occurs that more than 10,000 names are represented on the petitions that reach the senate in a single day. Over in the house the petitions are even more numerous. From 1,000 to 15,000 names are represented on the petitions that reach that body daily during the first weeks of congress. As a rule the petitions sent to congress are not "worked up." The petitions generally show on their faces whether they are "ready made" that is to say, whether they have been solicited. Senators and representatives say that 90 per cent, of the petitions that come to them are not the result of any organized effort on the part of persons or corporations who want ii get legislation through congress. one WASHINGTON. If is inclined the American people are interested in the proceedings of congress he should become a reader of the Congressional Record and note the number of petitions and memorials that come up to the legislative body daily from every section of the country. From two to four pages of every day's Record are filled with the suggestions from the people. And it may be said that congress is disposed to listen to these petitions and memorials. There was a time when such communications were treated lightly. Not so now. The first thing every senator and representative does when he reaches his office in the morn ing is to have his secretary compile the advice that has come in from constituents during the last 24 hours. The documents are then presented to the senate or house as the case may be, are printed in the Record and then re Senate Investigation from Car Window with vigor.

On December 5 the experiment of going direct to Providence and returning through New York was repeated. It must have been a success, for it took but two days to be back in Washington, and it cost the government but $43.75. But on January 3, 1907, the first method of investigating New York's customs revenues namely, from the car window was resumed, and Mr. Shelton ran on to Providence and back without disembarking in wicked Gotham. Cost to Uncle Sam, $36.95. Now, isn't it funny that Mr. Aldrich's secretary should have to go to Providence, R. I., every time he wanted to investigate the New York customs revenues? And isn't it funny that an investigation authorized in March, 1905, should not begin until August, 1906? And should not cease until January, 1907? And should not then produce any report?

Since that time Mr. Aiken has been able to get recognition and postofflces whenever he wanted them, but he has been besieged by a score of members for cloth enough to "make a suit like Uncle Joe's." Last spring when he went home he engaged the old woman to make all the homespun she could during the summer. The result was three suitings. These Mr. Aiken brought up to to Washington and presented Representative Ryan of New York, Representative Lee of Georgia and Griggs of Georgia. Representative These three, with the speaker and Mr. Aiken, will form the charter membership of the "homespun brigade." Other applicants will be admitted when the old woman turns out some more jeans.
