ADvICRs received at Plymouth from Sa-
moa, under date of August IL, report the
return there of the exiled King Malietoa
W the German warship Wolf According
70 a report from Apia, sensational incl
dent occurred on the voyage of the Wolf
from Jaluit Island to Samoa with Malietoa
on board. When the King was taken on
the vessel he was not told what were the
intentions regarding him; but on the sec
.ond day, after having dined with the Off
GERS, Malietoa was told that he was being
aiken back to Samoa. Whether he dis
srusted this information and feared some
punishment, or whether his mind had be-
come affected is not known; but he seized
the first opportunity, and a short time
afterward jumped overheard In midocean.
A boat was quickly lowered and he was
rescued. A watch was then kept upon the
chiefs movements; but two days after
ward he eluded the vigilance of those on
board, and for THE second time threw him
self into the sea. He was again brought
on board, and during the remainder of the
voyage to Apia was guarded to prevent
anything further of the kind.

ed TO time OF space; it reaches out with
treless wings after the infinite. Its ae-
tlvltles. Its capabilities and its longings
alike testify to the truth of that revelation
that it is the breath of its Creator. by which
the clay tenement of material things be-
came the dwelling place of an immortal
spirit
The existence of the soul and the fact
that it will outlive its mortal habitation
have been the common belief of the human
race IN all ages. How came this article
into every creed? The belief of all nations
Is one OF the strongest evidences of the
truth OF that which is thus accepted. This
faith has taken on grotesque forms both as
to the characteristics and destiny of the in
visible survivor of the mortal body. but
the essential facts of the souls future ex-
lstence has been the common faith of man.
kind
1t we accept the Bible as truthful record
the question is settled beyond all contro-
yersy. No one can study attentivelv what
Is there recorded of the life and character
OF Jesus without being convinced that he
was something more than a mere man. If
the Bible Is not accepted as revelation of
divine truth there remains this picture of
life that has no parallel in all human ex-
perlence. If the character is fictitious
then he who created it and embodied in
1t such infinite perfection must himself be
more than human, for no human pen ever
portrayed an existence so worthy of hon.
age of the world. The doctrine of a fu-
ture endless life for the soul of man is
clearly set forth In the words of Him who
spake as never man spake. He encoun-
tered the SadduceeS who denied this great
truth and He proved to them from their
scriptures that the patiarchs who founded
their nation still lived although their
bodies were resting in the grave And
when He stood at the sepulchre of friend
he loved and called him back for a few
years to renew the earthly pilgrimage He
announced the deathless future of the soul
In words that have been an unspeakable
comfort IN all succeeding ages
There are many other logical reasons for
faith In the future existence of that which
in man is responsible for his conduct. The
inequalities of the present life is perhaps
one of the most striking of these, and the
innate sense of right and wrong which
every one possesses demands a season of
retribution in which Justice shall be adj
mlnistered to all with an impartial hand
We never hear the wild filings which some
are led to make at the doctrine of future
state without recognizing in them the tone
of dread which reveals their origin. But
whether hope or fear predominates, it re-
mains true beyond all question that the
soul Is conscious of its own existence, and
can not escape, if it would from the inef-
faceable impression that its life will not
end when the body is laid aside to its rest

UNCLE SAM AND THE DOMINION.

There has hitherto been a manifest dis
position on the part of the dominion lib
erals to exagerate and on the part of the
tories to underrate the strength of annex
alton sentiment in Canada Partisans on
one side have assured us that public
opinion in Canada was overwhelming In
favor of annexation, or at least complete
commercial union. and was only awaiting
an opportunity for expression. Partisans
on the other side have asserted just as
positively that there was no annexation
sentiment at all in Canada worth mention
ing, and but little in favor of commercial
union. So far as can be judged from re-
cent popular expressions at the polls
the tories are much nearer the truth than
the liberals. But there is reason to be-
1ieve that neither is wholly right. ltseems
probable that many who would not be
ave1se to political union with the United
States if they supposed such an agreement
would he sanctionedby Great Britain have
been restrained from expressing their
views at the polls by a sentiment ofloyalty
ard feeling that their conduct might be
misconshued Probably if an express
SIGN could teLad on this question free from
all cCnst1aint theresult would be something
Ct a surprise to thetory leaders. And yet,
most likely ii would be quite as much of a
disaII cirin ent to the liberals. There is
nov some evidence that the tories are
r1era1irg to admit that there is some force
in tie annexation movement, so much in
deed. that it cannot be wholly ignored any
lcreer with safety. La Canadien, the
Leading govell ment organ at Quebec, pub

ATHENS OF MEDIEVAL. TIMES.

Florence was the Athens of a medieval
Greece, with Lorenzo de Medici for her
Pericles, says the Edinburgh Review. No
where was the classic revival more enthu-
siastic or more general. Noble ladies
kissed the hem of the robe of Filelfo; pill
grims from Spain approached Bruni on
their knees; illustrlous citizens like N1cco-
10 Nicoll spent their fortunes in the collec
ton of manuscripts Florence had util
lied her unique opportunities Of classic
culture Here Manuel ChrysOloras had lee
tured in 1896; here learned Greeks had
found an honorable asylum; here the En-
peror John Pal@ologus, scholarly prelates
like Bessarion of Nicaea. and philosophers
like Gennadius or Gemistos Pletho had at
tended the council which Eugenius ".
convened In 1893; here the enlightened
liberality of the Florentine government
procured, instruction for the youths Of the
republic frem the most eminent scholars OF
the day; here ArgIropolo lectured on Thu

hourished the Platonic academy and the
Studio Florentino. Admiration of the

day of his birth and death was commence
rated by banquets, as it was celebrated at
Alexandria in the days of Plotinus and
of Porphyry. With such advantages and
with such enthusiams it is not surprising
that classic culture was generally
difused. Both men and women knew
Greek and Latin, and the people applauded
the arrival at Leghorn of a cargo of manu-
script or statuary with the same delight
with which they welcomed Florentine
victory. 1t was period of intellectual ac-
tivity. Macchiavelli has pointed out how
the mental energy which was fostered by
the collisions of factions called into exer-
else abilities which in intervals of peace
were directed to worthier objects, and
raised Florence to the first place In Euro

ANOTHER KENTUCKY FIGHT.
Wholesale Slaughter in a Court Room
Where Blood Flowed Freely.


LEXINGTON, Kentucky = Reports re-
ceived here from Browsburg, a small vii
lage of about 800 people, in Rockbridge
county. IA miles north Of Lexington, state
that the village is terribly excited over a
bloody fight between leading men of
the vicinity. DIR. H. J. Walker one of
the most prominent physicians and sur
geons of the state had threatened the life
of Henry Miller, a prominent and wealthy
citizen. for insulting his wife. Miller
had Walker arrested and placed under
bonds to keep the peace. Friday afternoon
the case came up in the magistrates court
and trouble soon started, which ended in
both sides drawing their weapons. Miller
was killed, DR.. Walker fatally wounded
and Mrs. Walker, who was a witness. was
also killed, and Dan and William Miller,
sons of the accused, were shot, and Dan
seriously wounded. Samuel Beaver and
others, whose names are unknown, were
also injured. The sheriff and d posse have
gone to the scene of the trouble.

THE FORMATION OF GUERRILLA
Why QuantrelI's Gang Was Organized and
Equipped.
Florida Times-Union.


In 1861, just after Price had captured
Lexington, Mo-, seven of his men bound
themselves by an oath to stand by each
other and kill all those at whose hands they
had suffered. They were Quantrell, Halter
the Little brothers, Hampton. Kelly and
Busham. Many others soon joined them
All complained of terrible outrages on
themselves or members of their families,
and it is more than probable the charges
were true, for that was an evil time. Men
were whipped, robbed, murdered; women
were insulted. outraged, driven from their
homes. Each army contained It's quota of
bad men and at the beginning of the war
discipline was shamefully slack. This, as
always happens IN such cases, men with
no feeling on either side of the great con-
troversy robbed Unionists and charged it
to the secessionists, and vice versa, and in
such heated times each party believed the
worst of the other.
The region in which the Jameses and
1oungers grew up has had singular ex-
perience IN lawlessneSs. From 1919 to
1854 the western lines of Missouri, from
the site of the present Kansas City south,
was the border between the whites and the
semi-civilized Delawares, Shawnees and
WyandOttes is to say the line where
criminals were safe. The white population
of Jackson, Clay and adjacent counties had
increased to a few hundred when the Nor
mon war began and ragged at intervals for
four years. till the Mormons were expelled.
Even years later the emigrants to Califor-
MIA made Independence their gathering
point and life became generally reckless.
Soon followed the Kansas troubles from
1854 to 1857 Hatred buried in the hearts
of the people ON both sides of the line;
hundreds of ''Jayhawkers, p" Red Legs
Border Bufians'' were longing for
chance to get revenge. Out of this san
culinary chaos of blood and fire the Guam
trell oano WAS evoked

prisoners now on trial are none of them

guilt is established, they simply remain
the agents of crime. Every fact thus far
developed at the trial points to an intent

conduct of the trial thus far shows that
the prosecution is looking sharply to the
larger ends of justice in the revelation of
the real head of the conspiracy. Many
severe things have been said about State S
Attorney Longenecker and his associates,
but so far as the presentation of evidence
is concerned they are to be praised for
their skill thus far.
THE har.!ships to which working girls
are subjected In some countries are dis
grace to our nineteenth century civilization.
There is paper mill, for instance, in Fort
Edward which is run day and night. Half
the girls go on at 7 in the morning and
work till noon. Then the other half go
on and work till Z p. M, at which time
the girls who worked all the morning go
on again and work till midnight. Then
the afternoon girls take up the burdens
again and keep itup until a. m. The
work is very exhausting taking from
the rolls Of heavy sheets of MANILA paper,
counting and disposing of them. 1t in
wolves constant activity and watchfulness
and imposes a severe strain on muscles and
nerves. For the ten hours during which
it continues the working girl gets sixty
