The Bangor Wing says: ''Three voters i'll
.one family-a father and his two sons, who
were Greenbackers last year, in the town OF
Parknan, say that they have looked over the
ground carefully, and are satisfied that the
Greenback party is party of false preten-
sions, and one that cannot safely be elevated
to power They will this year all fall into
the Republican line. There is another man
in that same town, who has in years past
held responsible town offices as Republic
can. Last year he was led, as thousands OF
others were in this State, to give his vote to
the Greenback candidates; the past year has
fully convinced him of his mistake. He de-
clares that where much was promised,
nothing has been given. This year his vote
will be given for the Republican candidates.
And thus are they coming in every day."

desk in the naval observatory at Wash.

Perfectly replied the professor.
Referring to book containing written
tables he continued: Thave made four
teen observations Of Delmos, the outer
satellite, and thirteen OF Phebos, the
inner satellite. The planet, you know,
will be in opposition on the 10Th of
November, and | shall continue my
observations until about the lst of De-
cember. The satellites will probably be
visible, however, for some time after
that date"
ITO what result do the observations
up to this time seem to point?"
Tine outer satellite is almost exactly
in the place computed from the elements
of the observations Of 1877. You may
say that ii is SO near the place that we
cannot tell, until the observations are

elongations forty-four minutes before

about 2,4j0 revolutions around Mars

that is very near its computed place"

astronomers are steadily working out a

is being given to Jupiter. An immense
pinkish colored spot has appeared on
his face. We don't know what it is, but
it is expected that it will furnish the
means of determining accurately the

Dla.ribs for German Woman.
London Telegraph.

How fierce the ire aroused in Russian
breasts by Germany's sudden abandon
ment Of the traditional Prusso-M Muscovitc
alliance in favor of more advantageous
arrangements with her Austro- Hunga-
rian neighbors may be gathered from
the circumstances that leading Russian
journalist has 30 far forgotten the die
tates Of gallantry as to publish in the
Journal des st. Petersburg, a furious
diatribe against German women, from
which we subjoin few extracts in lit.
eal translation. II Ia needless to say
that this ill-judged and unproyoked at
tack has excited the indignation of the
German press to degree wholly unpre-
cedented. The writer alluded to COM
menccs his article a. follows: at is
well known that German women occupy
the very last position of the great Euro
pean women, not to mention that any
comparison between them and the rep
resentatives of the two thoroughbred
classes Of the European female species
French and Russian women-is utterly
unimaginable. The German woman,
oddly enough, 10 completely forlorn OF
womanliness! She Is a sort of hybrid
cross between human female and q
mammal Of the lower animal tribes.
Mammal. indeed, is just the right word
for her? The German women are MT
endowed with any Of the feline charac-
teristics, such as agility. gracefulness,
swiftness Of motion, playfulness. They
are, in greater or less degree, cowlike.
Their characteristics are vulgarity,
coarseness, dullness, laxiness. torpor.
And all this is 90 deeply ingrained in
their natures that even those among
them who experience groundless ten
oency toward displaying sportive de-
meanor only remind one Of leaping cows
with wreaths of roses on their heads"
Such outragcs criticism of women at
once the most highly educated and do
ncstic of their sex In Europe, tends to
SOW dissentions between nations more
deeply than do the gravest international
grievances.

DEATH OF CAPT. KIDD.
The Notorious Pilrts's Trial and Ezssutaon
Reviewed.

a
The solemn session of Admiralty was
that which met at the cid Bailey In
May, 1902, when Capt. Kidd and nine
others were arraignsd for piracy and
robbery on the high seas. All were
found guilty except three, who were
proved to have been apprentices. Kidd
was also tried for the murder of his gun
ner and found guilty. The men pleaded
variously, and two OF them had un-
doubtedly surrendered themselves with.
in the time limited by the proclamation.
Gov. Pass, the Governor Of West Jersey
(now the State of New Jersey, adjoin.
ing that Of New York;, corroborated
this statement. 1t was shown that they
had not surrendered to q commission Of
four specially sent ont for the purpose
and they were condemned to die. This
was, as far as the writer can Judge, q
hard case. Another seaman. Darby
Mullins, said in his defense that he
served under the Kings commission.
and had no right TO disobey any COM
mands Of his superior officer; that, In
fact, the men were never allowed to
question his authority, because it would
destroy all discipline; and that even II
unlawful acts were committed, the off,
GERS were the persons to answer for 1t,
not the men. He was answered that
serving On he did only entitled him to
do that which was lawful. He replied
that the case Of seaman must be bud,
indeed, If he were punished in both
cases, for obeying and not obcying his
officers, and that II he were allowed to
dispute his superior's orders, there
would be no such thing as command on
the high seas. This Ingenious defence
availed him nothing; be had taken a
share Of the plunder, and had mutinied,
and further, had acted IN accordance
jury brought him in guilty with the
rest.
Kidds defense was not strong, as q
matter Of legal argument. He insisted he
was more sinncd against than SHINING.
He said that he went out on laudable
employment, and had no occasion, being
then In good circumstances, to 60 pi-
rating; that the men had frequently mu-
timed; that he had been threatened in
his own cabin, and that ninety-fve had
deserted him at one time and set fire to
his boat, no that he was disabled from
bringing his ship home or the prizes he
took; to have them regularly CONDEMNED,
which prizes, he said, were taken under
virtue Of his commission, they having
French passes (falsel. A witness. Col.
Hewson, spoke highly Of his previous
reputation for bravery. So much of his
own statement was doubtful or false
that he was found guilty. When the
judge put on the black cap, Kidd stood
up and said: my Lord, II Is very hard
sentence. For my part I am the most
innocent person Of them all. and have
