in its employ, and last year 1900 seameh

immense traffic it transacts, and the hold it
has on public favor. Nor is this to be won

ITS organization to the present time, it has
never sacrificed the life Of a passenger. Its
success is due TO the staunchness of its boats,

VENTILATION.

In nearly all small dwelling houses

self, and while the occupants are not
confined to one apartment, but move
from one room to another, the circula-
tion of air, caused by the opening of
doors, is sufficient to keep up q supply of
fresh air. During sickness, however,
ana at nights, there is nothing left but a
choice between foul air and a dangerous
draught. A recent author suggests a
method Of avoiding both. Apiece Of wood,
three inches high and exactly as long as
the breadth of the window, is to be pre-
pared. When ventilation is required
raise the sash, put the strip of wood ON
the sill and draw the sash down closely
upon it. If the window is well fitted
there will be no draught at the lower
part Of the sash. but between the upper
bar-and the lower bar of the other sash
there will be an opening through which
a perpendicular current of air may enter
or pass out of the room, but not be felt
as draught such as would be created by
simply raising or lowering the sash.

From the New York World. 49,
The Bloody Shirt Preparing for
Another Shake.

The story goes that in the forthcom-
ing Presidential Message an effort is
to be made to alarm the country again
about Louisiana. According to cor
respondents information, the keynote
is to be struck in this wise "More
serions trouble is anticipated next Jan
uary than any which has yet occurred
to mar the peace of the State" This
more serious trouble is to come about
by the lynching of the Returning
Board by the White League, and a
VIOLENT packing of the Legislature in
the Conservative interest by the opera.
tion of League rifles, etc., ETC., all of
which -"facts," it is said, 'sare In the
Presidents possession" and the init.
nation is that they are to be produced
In the message by the President, who,
while he is most heartily disgusted
with the unsettled condition of affairs,
IN which he has the sympathy of the
Attorney-General, recognizes the OBJ
rigatIon riga !" to prevent anarchy and stay
That the President and the Attorney.
General will seek to cover over the or
lgnal wrong that was done by foisting
the Kellogg Government upon Louisi,
ana through the illegal enforcement of
Judge DurelPs decree-a wrong and an
outrage from which all the subsequent
troubles have fowed-we do not doubt.
The readiest way to do this is to dis
tract the attention of Congress and the
country to the anticipation of new
disturbances. If things are to be al
lowed to flow on smoothly in Louisi-
ana under the tranqulizing effect of
the late elections, there will be moth
ing to stave off the inquiry that must
be instituted, sooner or later, into the
origin OF Kellogg authority and the
reign of Radical faction that under
him usurped the control of the State.
There is nothing in the past-nothing
down to the present moment-that
will serve the purpose of diversion
OF the Inquiry. II can only be accom-
plished by the anticipation of some
greater trouble that will happen in
the future, which will serve to throw
all the complications and troubles of
the past into the shade and afford
preteXt for putting the State under
martiallaw. The invention of "plots'
is an easy trade, and even in this intel
ligent country and enlightened age it
has sometimes been successful one.
On this occasion it will fail.
In the meantime, while waiting for
| the evidence that is to disclose this
| greater trouble" we have Just two
things to say. All our information
leads us to feel entirely assured that
| the Conservative classes and tho Dem
ocratic party of Louisiana will do
nothing whatever that their friends In
the North would have occasion tn re-
grct, either in the organization of
their Legislature or in any other mat
ter. They may be hampered with le-
| gal difficulties; which have sprung
from the original violence that was
| done to their public affairs by the i'm
proper interference of the Federal
Executive, and by the uncertainties
| that have been created in their laws.
But they will have no disposition to
solve these difficulties by violent meth
ods, because they, as everybody else,
must know such solution can accom-
Iplish nothing.

Bad News for the Coal Regions.

Suddenly, orders have come from
headquarters for the managers of the
P. g. r. c. s. I. Co.'s mining operation

following ten: Brookside, East Frank
lin, Phoenix Park, Mahanoy City, Bos-
ton, Plank Ridge, Tunnel, Merriem.
Mt. Carmel Shaft and North Franklin,
No. 1. We understand this step is due
to the fact that there is an immense
stock of coal at all the company's

at all lively. In fact we believe the
supply on hand is sufficient to supply
all demands until spring shall be con-
sideably advanced. d.-[Miners' Joural,

w1rCH.nuRN1NG IN MEXICO.

The following is the official report Of
the burning Of witches in Mexico, da-
ted April 10th:
On the morning of the 7th of this
month, the witches Diego Lugo, and
his son, G. Porras were executed In
the public square of this place, having
failed to cure the bewitched Sylvester
Lacarias, as they had compromised
themselves to do.
The execution of the witches was Or
dered at 10 O'Clock at night They were
placed in the center Of a bonfire and
square formed of sixty men armed
with Mexican knives. The place itself
was then encircled, when it was order
ed that the persons who had at different
times assisted the witches should light
the fire, which was done Immediately.
Soon after the fire had commenced to
blaze the witches cried out, Mr.. Judge
put out the fire and we will give up our
idols.
An order was given and Immediately
carried out to extingulsh the fire and
loosen the witches, whereu2on the null
titude present commissioned Damian
Lerma to proceed with the witches to
their houses and receive the idols which
they offered to give up, which was
done, the latter handing over a little
pouch-shaped loadstone, and stones
from the sea, enveloped in cotton and
paper, which were deposited in the
Court. At the same time the witches
denounced several accomplices. The
people clamOred for the execution ofthe
witches and the burning of the idols
which was subsequently done.
