colored party by the name of Booth, in the
employ Of the Pullman sleeping car company,
was looking from the train on the Minneapolis

and almost instantly killed. The projecting

A Strange People,

DR.. e. r. Heath, in paper on g Pc
ruvian Antiquities, describes strange
people living in town called Eten, in
seven degrees south latitude and about
two miles from the sea. They number
about A, 900, and they speak besides the
Spanish, language which some of the
recently y-brought-over Chinese laborers
understand, but there is no other simi-
larity between the two peoples. They
intermarry uncles, nieces, brothers and
sisters, nephews and aunts, that is, pro-
miscuously, and with no apparent curse
of consanguinity; but they will not per-
NIT any intermarriage into their num-
ber, or with the outside world. They
have laws, customs and dress of their
own, and live by braiding hats and
mats and weaving cloths. They will
give no account Of the place whence
they came, or of the time they settled
at Eten. History does not mention their
existence before the Spaniards arrived.
Among them are no sick or deformed
persons, their custom being to send q
committee to each sick or old person,
and those who are reported past recov-
cry or past usefulness, are promptly
strangled by the public executioner.
Eten orders it, they say, and with
Eten's orders there is no interference.

Sad Results OF Intemperanee.

Special Officer Chiardi, of the Society
for the Prevention of Cruelty to Chill
dren, appeared in Jefferson Market po-
lice court, in New York. He alleged
that Ellen Doyle, the mother of three
children, living at 115 Sullivan street,
was drunk, and her children in a state
Of starvation. Mrs. Doyle was arraigned
at the bar. She looked haggard, dissi-
pated and forlorn. The story told by
the officer was pitiful one. He stated
that fifteen months ago she was living
in South Fifth avenue, while her hus-
band was working with H. B. CIafiin &
90. She drank heavily, and the children
were very much neglected, though the
husband was sober and attentive to his
duties. He was at length compelled to
have her arrested; but, relenting the
next morning, presented himself in the
court, asking the judge to give her an
other chance for the sake OF the little
children. She promised to take the
pledge and sin no more. In short
time she was again arrested. Her
rooms were in disorderly condition,
and the children had the looks of starv-
alton. She was sentenced to three
months on Blackwell's s island, but again
her husband interceded, and she was
released. Her promises Of amendment
were stronger than on the previous occa-
sion; she vehemently asserting "that a
drop Of liquor would never again cross
her lips" However, she was only a
short time at. home when the old pas
sion for drink was aroused. Her hus-
band, wearied out, in despair and to
drown his grief, took to drink and lost
his position in Clafiin & Co.'S. The
furniture and apparel we're pledged or
disposed of until everything had disap-
peared. A short time ago the husband
was missing, and has not since been
heard Of The only remaining article
in the room was the stove, and this the
unfortunate woman sold, and got drunk
upon the proceeds. She was arrested
and sent to the island for six months.
The children will be cared for by the
Society for the Prevention Of Cruelty to
Children. The eldest is aged four years,
the next, boy, sged two years, and the
third, an infant, few months.

Some Long Walks.

The prepOSterous extent to which pc
destrian competitive strivings have Of
late been INDUCED IN in this country,
says New York paper, might well lead
some to imagine that the passion for
this particular branch Of sport was never
before exhibited in lightso whimsical,
not to say absurd. This, however,
would be a rash conclusion, as many
ridiculous exhibitions are recorded in
the fading leaves of periodical litera-
ture especially pertaining to such per-
formances. With but passing refer
ence to the walk Of Capt. Barclay, in
1909, of thousand miles In thousand
hours, the accomplishment Of which set
the inhabitants of sportive Newmarket
so nearly beside themselves with won
der and admiration that nothing short
Of setting the church bells ringing
would satisfy them, We may mention a
famous walk told of in the annual
Register for 1885, In that year an Irish
gentleman named Wballey laid wager
of $100, ,0C0 that he would perform a
walking tour from London to Constan-
tinople and return, his attire being o
swallow-tail blue coat, brilliant waist
coat, buckskin breeches and top boots,
and his weapon of defense stout shil-
lalah. The eccentric individual re-
turned in good time to claim his win
nings, and was ever after known as
Jerusalem Whslley. A very re-
markable feat Of walking for stiff cake
was performed in more recent times by
legs unprofessional. Capt. Ross was
with shooting party at Block hall, in
Kincardineshire, the time OF the year
being August. For seven or eigh
hours they had been wading waist-high
among the bull-rushes, shooting snipe,
and had well earned q good dinner.
After the meal, Capt. Ross fell asleep,
and he was shortly afterward awakened
by Sir Keith Hay. Gross, old fellow"
exclaimed Sir Keith, "iump up, want
you to go as my umpire with Lord Ken
nedy to Inverness. I have made him O
bet Of S2, 500 side that / get there on
foot before him." The distance was
100 miles, and Capt Ross thus con-
tinues the story: "Off we started
there and then, with our shoes and silk
stockings on our feet. We went straight
across the mountains, and it was
longish walk. I called to my servant
to follow with my walking shoes and
worsted stockings, and Lord Kennedy
did the same. They overlook us after
we had gone seven or eight miles, hut
fancy my disgust when discovered that
my idiot had brought me, worsted
stockings certainly, but with them light
Wellington boots The sole Of one
boot vanished after T had gone four
and twenty miles, and now had to fin
ish the walk barefooted. We walked
all night, next day and the next night,
raining torrents all the way. We
crossed the Grampians, making per
fectly straight line, and got to Inver-
ness at one o'clock A. M. Sir Keith Hay
lost his money, as be preferred to
travel by the coach road, which, al
though much easier, was thirty-six miles
longer than by way Of the mountains y
