ABOUT PORK CHOPS.

Mr.. Gladstone writes thus ON the sub
ject of pork chops in Nineteenth Cert
ury: Although the questions respecting
the keeping Of swine and the use az
pork is by no means disposed Of, either
by the authorities quoted in the text or
by Wilkinson, I venture ct this stage to
offer the following conjectures as sopre-

consistent with the evidence as = whole.
1. That in the warm climates Of ERypt

sanitary grounds, repressed BY prohfbf-

THE NAvAssA RIOTS.


Trial In Baltimore OF the Negroes Charged
with Riot and the killing of White Men
ON SevAssa Island-The Governments
Witnesses Show that the Negroes Had
Been the Victims OF Cruelty and of .
Condition of Slavery.
BALTIMORE, Nd, Nov. 21.--The trial
of the eighteen Navassa Island rioters
was resumed yesterday in the United
States Court. The Government offered
I'm evidence the certificate from the
State Department of the discovery OF
the Navassa Island by Peter A. Duncan
in 1856. the proclamation by the State
Department and the charter of the Ma
vassa Guano Company.
Walter B. McAtee testified that he
was the receiver of the company. The
provisions sent to the island was of the
same quality for officers and employees.
There was a store kept on the island
and goods were sold to the men at a
small profit. Witness was ordered to
produce the list showing profits, etc.,
which will be done in a few days.
John w. Pead, shipping master, testi-
fled to the shipping of the men.
Henry johnson and James Bustley,
employees of the Navassa Guano Com
pany, testified as to the prisoners arriv-
ing on the United States war-ship
Galena and the briggs Alice and Ro-
nance, and identified the men.
United States Deputy Marshal Cole
testified to making the arrests in Mary
land waters.
The one important witness examined
yesterday afternoon was William jane
son, one of the negro employees on the
island. He was a Government witness,
and his testimony revealed plot to
kill, and also the existence of deplor-
able species of slavery at Navassa. He
testified that the negroes held meet
Ing on the night of September 13, at
which it was determined to kill the
bosses. The one man they were anxious
to kill more than any other, was James
Mahon. At the Governors yard next
morning the men were marched in sim
gle file and asked if they were
willing to work. James Phillips
replied: "Yes, if properly treated"
Henry Jones, with pistol in hand, at the
order OF DR.. Smith, the acting superin-
tendent, proceeded to take charge of
Phillips. Phillips resisted and Smith
fired a load of bird-shot into Phillips
face. Most of the negroes then fled.

ness, remained. The whites fed into
the house and opened fire. The negroes
stoned the house until p. M, when
they began throwing dynamite. This
made the whites surrender, the agree
ment being that if they gave up their
arms they should not be injured. The
murders took place afterward. Witness
did not see Mahon shot. Mahon
was very cruel. The men were
overworked, put in stocks and
triced up. Witness often heard
the men crying out in agony
while hanging by their hands. Most of
them complained that the food was not
TT to eat and some of them did not get
enough. They were allowed salt pork
and four pieces of bareback day, and if
they wanted more they had to buy it.
At the store extortionate prices were
charged. For thirty-five cent shirt
they had to pay $3.50 and five cents a
pound for flour. Court adjourned until

and the existence of the saloon, and a
strong resolution of condemnation was
reported. Mrs. Foster and her followers
sought to substitute modification of
the declaration without success. 1t was
''the straw which broke the camel's
back and precipitated the bolt of the
non-partisan women from the conven-
ton. They were prepared to go out on
the ground that the Womans Christian
Temperance Union pronounced in favor
of third party, but did not do so until
the resolutions in their entirety, con-
tanning the one against the Vice-Presi-
dent, had been formally adopted. The
seceders at once took steps to organize
the non-partisan Woman's Christian
Temperance Union women of the coun-
try. One effect of the movement has
been to impel the chief organ of the
Republican party in Iowa to advocate
the abandonment of prohibition in that
State and the enactment of high
license law.-Chicago News Ind.).

NOTES ON WlTcHcRAFT.
Discovery Of Documents Pertaining to tho
ExH DAYS or 1922.


Discovery Of Documents Pertaining to tho
Esil Days of 1922.
Few more remarkable discoveries OF
ancient documents have been made in
this country than that reported the
other day from Salem, where the origi-
nal papers relating to the terrible witch
craft delusion are said to have been
found in vault utilized for the storage
of county records. 1t would be hardly
possible to mention any one episode set
forth in the history of New England
that possesses so strange fascination
as belong to the rise and decline of that
fearful excitement in Salem-or, moro.
accurately speaking, in what is now
Danvers Center-which caused nineteen
innocent people to be put to death under
sentence for an impossible crime. The
remarkable story of ewly-discovered
documents pertaining to the evil days
of 1892 will awaken, for time,
particular public interest in the
whole subject. There is one fact, not
wholly unknown, but generally unno-
ticed, that bears weightily on the still
mooted question how far the honor of
our Puritan ancestry is affected by that
tragic episode. It is that when the de-
fusion had spent its force an attempt
was made out of the scanty public treas
ury of those days to recompense the
surviving victims, as far as money could
do so for the wrong done them. There
is said to have been found a list of those
who were in the prison when the tide of
public sentiment turned toward better
things, together with record of sums
ranging from EGO to ESQ paid the re-
leased captives or to the dependent rel
atives of those who had persisted on the
gibbet. This indicates what authentic
history confirms, that our forefathers in
the Massachusetts, Bay colony were SO
far from being obdurate, persistent and
heartless in their error, that they soon
repented and sought how they might
atone for it. In the same connection
must always be taken another fact, if
we would do even-handed justice to the
memory of the dead. Belief in witch
craft was practically universal in the
seventeenth century throughout the civ
ilized world, and had been for many
generations. just two hundred years
before the outbreak in Salem Papal
bull had kindled inquisitorial fires in
Germany for the destruction Of sorcer-
ers, and successive bulls increased the
popular frenzy; so that many hundreds
of helpless victims were put to death,
often by means of cruel fortunes, during
a comparatively few years. But no sect
or section of the Christian world was ex-
empt, and Protestant England, under
Elizabeth, James L., and Charles l., was
the scene of cruel prosecutions for this
cause. Historians tell us that fully
three thousand people are believed to
have persisted under charge of witch
craft during the period of the Long
Parliament; that is to say, at the very
time when the seeds of civil and relig-
ious liberty were being planted in old
and New England. Boston Adj

ANECDoTE OF EDISON.


Boston Newsboy.
Many stories have been written tell
ing of the close-fsted and miserly ways
of that prince of inventors, Edison.
The following little incident which
came under the observation Of the
writer serves to illustrate the fact that
the heart of the great genius is in the
right place, and that he is not penurious
upon all occasions. 1t was some time
ago, when Edison was in Boston, and
he, together with several other gentle
men who are identified with important
electrical inventions, were conversing
eagerly upon some new idea or appli-
ance, standing at the same time in front
of the cigar case at the Court square
side of Young's Hotel. A little news
boy had been captured by one of the
hotel attendants while trying to sell his
papers in the place, and was being
hustled out by the ear.
Edison caught sight Of the forlorn lit
tie kid, 2 and signing to the porter who
held him to let him go, called the yend-
er of newspapers over to him.
ssP1ease buy a paper, mister" piped
the boy in mournful tone.
'.Of course I'll buy paper" said the
great inventor, with smile, as he pat
ted the boy on the head, and selecting
paper from the lot he handed the boy :
silver dollar, saying: Never mind any
change; but keep persevering, my little
man, and you'll come out all right in the
end" Then, as the child thanked him
and scampered off with q radiant face,
he turned to the gentleman with whom
he had been talking and said, feelingly:

The BIessings of Protection,

We now see the wives and children of
starving Illinois miners sentout on organ
lied begging expeditions; we hear of riots
among the unpaid coke workers of Penn
sylvania; we know that New England
cotton operatives can only live by giving
up life TO the two thoughts of work and
economy; we know that the woman who
makes shirts or trousers for the trade
can save her wo,nanly goodness only at
the sacrifice of sleep, food, exercise and
by the utter Punishment of all thoughts
of pleasure. Starvation was unknown
and pauperism rare before the days of
the war tariff. Wages were SMALL in
dollars and cents, but their purchasing
price was proportionately greater, and
striking the grand average there was
then greater comfort, independence and
self-respecting individuality among
working-men than now. Millionaires of
the Rockefeller-Carnegie type were un-
known in the early days, whereas they
are now found on every railway train,
and the question as to whether the rich
are in fact growing richer and the poor
poorer is answered.-Detroit Free Press.

TRUSTS AND DEMOCRACY.

"Trusts," Blaine said last fall,
If his words you'll recall,
"Are quite largely private AFFAIRS
And he argued, of course,
That we could not enforce
Restrictions on doings Of theirs.
But a judge in New York
Has got in his work
In manner exceedingly pat.
He, in just one bout,
Knocked the sugar trust out,
And. of course, he's Democrat.
When trusts would do wrong
Then the law must be strong
To stand for the press they assail.
When laws can't defend
Then tits time to amend,
For Justice, not wealth, must prevail.
While Blaine may insist
He must not resist
Entertainments of Doodle and wrong,
Let Democracy fight
For justice and right
With faith that is steadfast and strong.
