The London Revelations.

However questionable may have been the
motives OF the proprietors of the Pal NAL
Gazette in making public the horrible facts
concerning vice and moral degradation in
nigh places, and however much American
newspapers are to be condemned for their
republication of these filthy details of crime,
there is little doubt that the general intlu-
ence OF the course taken by the English
newspaper has been healthy one If evils
such as have been described exist, it is bet
ter that they should be seen and known
Shutting ones eyes to surrounding wicked
ness may be conducive to peace of mind,
but IL Is no indication of virtue. III the
world is ever improved and mankind ele-
waited, it will be by those who keep their
eyes open to the wickedness which they
know must abound, and attack it with a
discrimination to disable if they cannot de-
stroy 1t. That is the only way any Chris
tan or moral reform ever did or ever will
succeed.-TrdueHer.

POcahOntas.

John Esten Cooke of Virginia has made
searching investigation of the Pocahontas
matter, and he is satisfied, from all the evil
dence to be had that Smith was captured
by party of Indians in 1907 and carried to
the Indian capital on York river, where
Powhatan ordered him to be slain. Poca-
hontas interfered to save him. She took
Smiths head in her arms, so that it was inn
possible to beat out his brains without hit
tlng her. Powhatan consented to spare the
prisoner, and treated him kindly. After
ward Smith released some Indian prisoners,
stating that It was for the sake of Pocahon-
tas. He told his friends in jamestown that
Pocahontas had saved his life. In letter
to Queen Anne he said that he would he
guilty of the "deadly poison of ingrati
tude =" if he forgot the goodness of Pocahon-
tas. In several letters he gave to this girl
credit for his rescue from death. 1t was on
this account that Pocahontas was flatter-
ingly received at the English court. After
her marriage to Rolfe she was baptized, and
lived " civilly and lovingly with her hus-
band"

AT the Rutland railroad stockholders
meeting at Rutland the Clement board of
directors had forty-nine thousand four hum
dred thirty-six votes and no opposition.
Only sixty-three thousand shares were out
standing and this was the largest vote ever
cast for any ticket. Ex-President Page at

long controversies upon several points.
There was an informality in the notice of
the meeting and Mr.. Page insisted that it
was illegal. Motions to discontinue the suit
OF the road against the Clements in regard
to the oVer-issue were not favored by them
selves and We're dismissed. The following
are the directors: Charles Clement of Rut-

asked Lara to point out the man

pointed out Dave Woods as the man.
There was no hesitation and Lara
was positive that Dave was the man
who gave the ten dollars to him at
the plaza OF Tularoso. ] then asked
him to point out Mr.. Coghlan and he
hcsitated little, first looking around
and squarely at Coghlan and then
