honorable men may not do other

But, besides saying that the premature
publication was owing to misunderstand
ing, which statement We accept without
question, the Journal proceeded in iaunty
mood to say that IL fortunately discovered
that it had no right to publish the matter in
season 10 prevent the untimely publication of
all Il designed to print. 1t was inexpicable
then, and il is stili unexplained, why, if This
discovery was made in time 10 prevent the
publication of the portion that was not pub
llshed, it was moi in time to prevent the
publication of the portion that was publish
ed. But if anybody who knows lie facts will
make consistent explanation of the puzzle
we will gladly publish it, and thank him for
the service. Les, the Advertiser put an un-
warranted construction upon Ibis statement,
1t is perhaps necessary to add that the
PRESS does not accuse the proprietors of the
Lewiston journal of any thing dishonorable
in connection with this explanation We say
only hal we do not understand il. Perhaps
they do not care whether we unders and it
or no. They have an indisputabe right TO
take lha ground, right as indisputable as
the Advertisers % think that we insult hon
orable me n by not understanding something
they say.
Touching this matter we shall have no
more to say 10 The Advertiser, which is bat an
intermedd'er in the business. The Lewis
ton journal has not intimaied any dissatis-
faction. Whatever ii may have to say, if
anything will be reprinted in the PRESS in

and Amina. When seven years old Ahmed
frequented Mussuman school, and at the
age OF twelve had completed the study of
the Koran. Thanks to the devotion of his
brothers, established carpenters and boat
builders, he was enabled to continue his
studies in The neighborhood of Khar' cum

and Abd-el Ayim, son of the Sheik Ell Tayeh.
II was then, having completed his studies,
that he came TO live on the island of Aba,
on ths White River. He lived there about
fifteen years, revered by the Bagarahs, when

Mahdi, that is to say, for one sent by God
to regenerate Islamism. Mohammed All

Senator Lamar of Mississippi in letter to
the Commonwealth Club of Philadelphia
says the paramount issue before the country
is still the reform of the National Govern
ment from its sectional usurpaion and cor
fnption. Where this usurpation exists Mr..
Lamar does not point out. Certainly none
of il can be found III his own State for there
the BourboDs are in full control aud though
they habitually suppress the negro vote by
force and fraud the National Government
does not intefere 10 the slightest extent.
And the condition of things in Missis-
sippi is not essentially different from that
which exists in every Southern State. There
is not one which is not fully under
Democratic control. What the National
Government has usurped at the South it is
difficult to imagine, unless Mr. Lamar
think, the trial of offenders against the
United States laws in National courts is an
ueurpatiOn.

Comets and Meteors.
A Talk by Pref. Young Regarding some
of the Wanderers i'm space.
IN. Y. SUM-

IN. Y. SUM-
Prof c. A. Young Of Princeton College
had small piece of stone in his hand when
he began speaking in Steinway Hall last
evening. "If This stone couli tell its histo-
ry,' he said, 81 should not need to say
word. If i, could have been announced
that The story of this stone would be told
he,e tonight by Itself he hall would have
been crowded, even though the weather has
been as bad as it is" 1t YVES piece of
meteor which fell in South India.
In the course of his lecture Prof. Young
said that meteors enter the earth's atmos-
phere with velocities of from tyentv to fifty
times that of cannon bali, and the wonder
is that, considering the intense heat which
Is produced, they are not wholly consumed
before strlking the earth. The ore which
fell, bringing ice with it, in India in 1870
he said, brought with it something of the
temperature of outer space, which NAV be
200 or 300 degrees below zero. He spoke of
the theory that meleors are fragments which
were cast up by VOLCANOES of the earth and
moon when those planets were young. and
which remain beyond the limit of those bod
les attraction for ages before being again
drawn back to the earth. Prof. Young did
not believe that this theory was the true one.
Some of the meteors, he said, might have
come from the sun or planets. The reason
for this supposition was that they had SO
much hydrogen gas in them. IT has been
estimated that msny millions of meteors
come into the earths atmosphere every day.
The probability is that there is a meteor
every 200 or 300 miles in space
Prof. Young said that there is sort of
relationship between meteors and comets,
In five instances focks of meteors have
been found tagging along behind comets.
just what the connection is has not been de-
termined. 1t was Mr.. Proctor who STYLED
comets s'the scandal of the astronomers"
Yet in some respects, the lecturer said.
comets were the astronomers triumph.
Astronomers had done some of their best
work in determining the periods Of comets.
The comet now invisible Prot. Young
said, was one of the captive comets, it hay
ing been brought into its present orbit by
the influence Of the planet Neptune. 1t is
the comet Of 1912.

II is not the practice in Massachusetts to
turn insane criminals loose as might be in
ferred from the statement OF despatch that
Amero, the alleged murder of Mrs. Eta G.
Carlton, had been discharged ON account of
his iRsanity. The true reason Of Amero's
discharge was the lack of evidence to con-
vict him. When he was brought from Nova
Scotia the government certainly believed
the evidence of his guilt was conclusive.
Subsequent investigation has proved that a
large part of the testimony relied on is
worthless As to his mental condition, there
Is difference of opinion among physicians,
some thinking that he has been shamming
insanity, others coutending that his mind is
really diseased, view of the matter which
Is strongly supported by the fact that a
hereditary tendency to insanity exists in his
family. But his mental condition, whatever
It may be, had nothing to do with his dis
