EXEGESIS ON KISSING.
Interes ting to People Who Believe in
Oscillation.
h
From the Epoch


Kissing has been in vogue ever since
Adam kissed Eve in the garden of Eden. 1t
is frequently referred to in the scriptures
as indicating reverence, submission and
affection. The osc,tlttm pacis, or kiss of
peace was anciently given by the faithful
one to the other as testimony of a cor
diality Of affection. After the priest had
ordered the people to salute one another
with holy kiss Even to this day male
members of certain religious sects kiss each
other, in accordance with the injunction,
Salute the brethren with a kiss" In
ancient Rome kiss was a religious cere-
mony. The nearest friend of a dying per-
son received his soul" by kiss, for the
soul was supposed to leave the body
Through the lips. Pliny intimates that the
homan woman began to degenerate when
they INDUCED in indiscriminate kissing.
There are historical kisses on record, some
OF which were important enough to shape
political events. 1t is supposed that the
Kisses exchanged between Antony and Cleo
patra and Henry Will and Anne Boleyn
shook an empire and destroyed a religion.
When Cardinal John of Lorraine was pre-
Sented TO the Duchess of Savoy she gave
MIN her hand to kiss, at which the great
cnurchman became indignant. "Tll not be
treated in this manner" he angrily said;
l KISS the queen. my mistress. and shall |
Ilot kiss you, who are only a duchessw
Though the proud little Portuguese princess
resisted, he kissed her squarely on the
mouth. Charlemagne caught his secretary
kiSSlng the emperor's daughter at midnight.
ane carried him home on her back so that
MS footsteps might not be traced in the
snow. The emperor heard of it, and made
heT take him for the rest Of her life.

Evidence Reviewed.

REDwooD CRY, August 17.-District
Attorney Buck. in his opening statement
in the second trial of DIR. Powell for the
murder OF Ralph Smith. editor of the
Times and Gazette, said the State would
introduce testimony showing that the
crime was premeditated and the result of
malice.
Geo. Holden, the first witness called,
testified that he saw Smith walk up to
Powell in quiet way and say, "Doctor,
1 hear you intend killing me on sight"
to which Powell replied, putting his
clenched fist in Smiths face and saying
in an angry tone, "You are liar"
Smith then struck at Powell with his fist
and followed it up with an umbrella.
Witness saw Powell reach for his hip
pocket when he walked away.
Charles Jacobson, who was talking
with Holden at the time, corroborated
his testimony.
Charles Wentworth, the next witness,
testified substantially as in the former
trial and the Court adjourned.

SOUTHERN OUTLAWRY.
A Samguinary Battle Between Ne
grOes and Whites.


NEW ORLEANS, August 17.-A dispatch
from New iberia says: A certain class OF
idle and immoral characters, being or
dered away, many took refuge at Free
town, village composed entirely of Ne
gro families. Here from five to Six
hundred of the mentioned men congre-
gated and armed themselves. Then the
residents and property owners of this
section collected and finding large force
of armed Negroes as reported, de-
manded the surrender Of their arms.
A number accepted these terms.
Thursday morning fifteen armed Ne.
groes took possession of a colored
minister's house, refusing to surrender.
The whites hearing of this sent a mes
sage with tina command that they lay
down their weapons within twenty min
utes. The Negroes again refused. At
the expiration of the time volley was
fred at them, which soon became gen.
eral fusilade, lasting nearly an hour.
Finally F. r. Smith, white man, was
shot dead. The Negroes became panic
stricken and fled. When the fight was
over the bodies of eight Negroes were
found in the house and five others were
found outside. 1t is rumored that three
or four more men were killed.

During the past three days only four
new cases of yellow fever have occurred

The St. Paul Pioneer Press estimates
the aggregate wheat crop in Minnesota
and Dakota this year at round 100 ,000,-
600 bushels. Conservative judges make
the figures from 100000 to $4,000 900
less.

dent; E. Otis Hinckley, Maryland, Sec
retary; Francis Rawle, Pennsylvania,

elected was Benjamin Harrison, Of Indi-
ana, as vice.president.
Jennie Woolver, domestic on a farm
near Woodland, Miss, was shot and
killed by Geo. Moons, aged 20, who then
blew out his own brains. Moons lately
returned from Colorado, and il is sup
posed that he killed the girl because she
was soon to be married to another man
and refused his suit.
The St. Paul Pioneer Press has from
Winnipeg confirmation of the report that
the agreement to complete the Red
River Valley Railroad, between the Man

the Government is to build the projected
road itself, though some assert that the

Amusement Netes.

Seventy-three players of reputation
have been engaged by Daniel Frohmar
for next season for his travelling compa
MES and the Lyceum Theater.
The matinee and to-night's perform.
ance will close the engagement of The
Wife in This city. 1t has been very sue
cessful, both artistically and financially.
Neil Warner will appear at the Opera
House all next week, changing his bill
three times. Mr.. Warner is an actor of
the old school and those who have seen
him say there is no better upon the
stage. His forte is the heavy melo-
drama. He appeared at the California
Theater a number of years ago and made
quite hit.
The Lyceum Company is a collection
OF talented, polished, attractive players.
1t would be hard task to find compe-
tent substitutes for any of those having
important parts in The Wife. All seem
to have so thoroughly identified them
selves with the parts which shrewd man.
agerial judgment originally cast them
for, that the play is nov more the crea-
tion of the players than that of the
authors.
A successful play always calls forth
claims of plagiarism. Fanny Aymar
Matthews, of New York, novelist, now
states that The Wife is simply play OF
hers called Washington Society, with GER
tain changes. The Wife ran more than
200 nights at the Lyceum Theatre, New
York, and during all that time Miss Mat
thews did not discover this wonderful
similarity. 1t is needless to say that
Messrs. Belasco and DeMille know no.
thing of Miss Matthew'S play-if it exists
at all.

SWELLING DEMOCRACY'S ARMY.
Maine Republicans Who Think
Tariff Reform Is Better Than


AUGUSTA, Me. July 27.-There is quite
a breeze in political circles here over the
stand taken by several prominent Re-
publicans for tariff reform. Charles N
Hamlen, large dry goods dealer on
Water street, and q son-in.law of the late
Lot M. Morrill, has never voted anything
but the Republican ticket, but when seen
to-day said decisively:
II don't see how can conscientiously
vote for any other candidate than Cleve-
land. I believe in tariff reform. We
need free wool. Woollen manufacturing
in many of the mills here is an unprofit-
able business. Two mills in this county
are idle. They had been manufacturing
a low grade of cassimeres from our
American wools. The market being
overstocked with these goods and the
manufacturers being unable to import
the high grade of wool needed to make
fine cloths, because of the tariff, we're
obliged to stop their machinery"
Lendall Mtcomb, one of the most ex-
tensive property owners in the city and a
Republican, advocates tariff reform
daily.
DR.. W.lB. Lapham, formerly editor o.
| the Maine Farmer, and who has lo1e
been Republican, will vote for Cleve
land and tariff reform.-[New Yorl

ScOtt's Anniversary.

The Caledonian Club will celebrate the
anniversary of the famous novelist and
poet Sir Walter Scott on Monday evening
at Turner Hall with an entertainment
given by the Bairnsfather Family, OF
Edinburgh, Scotland. This family is
said to be the only Scotch company trav-
cling in the world. The following is from
the Chicago NeDs: The opera house last
evening was crowded-the Bairnsfather
Family was the attraction. They filed
the bill admirably-their singing was
good. The anecdotal ability Of Mr.
Bairnsfather was complete. He kept the
audience in convulsions. As is we'll
known their entertainment is purely
Scotch-and the family is deservedly en-
titled to a place in the front ranks OF
Scottish vocalists. Success attend the
