against just such attacks, a number of
which have been made on him since he
killed Jesse James. He at once Owed
behind the bar and seized his revolver
with which he turned loose. His first shot
hit the cowboy on the shoulder and
Hurry fell to the floor hut managed to
discharge two more shots at Ford. The

and the wounded man was taken away.

Thurman did not complete his speech at
Music Hall last night, but was CON-
PEELED, on account of failure of strength,
to stop suddenly. Putting his hands to
his side, he said II would have liked to

to do 1t; 1 am getting sick" He was
taken to his hotel where he could have
rest. He regretted this infrmity very
greatly because, as he stated afterwards,
he had reserved for the closing part of
his speech some good words for the Dem
ocrstio candidate for governor. These
he was prevented from uttering by the
sudden weakness that came upon him.

to be prizs orator Of the senior class at Cor

day OF the honor conferred upon him. He
was nominated for the place by q political
faction rs means Of catching votes, all
unknown to himself.
AS soon as he heard OF his nomination he
resigned, but too late to have bis name re-
moved from toe ticket. There being no
contest for the place, he was selected with
out opposition and without a thought as to
hts nationality, for being a well-dressed
and wel-mannered young man. he has al
ways been treared by his classmates with
out regard to his color.
He refused to accept the place because Of
the manner Of his nomination and because
he has no desire to put himself forward.
His selection had no connection with Nor
game at Harvard and, as he says, no
Significance as to the university or to his
race.

SEATS CONTESTED IN HIGHER COURT.
The large number of red handed wife
murderers who have scooted gally
from the seafoli to little better To-
cation in paradise than that of the
wife they kicked to death during the
preceding winter, would naturally
suggest to us that people may be mis-
taken in the symptoms of their regen-
Grafton and election. Many who have
believed themselves to be elected,
may, in the bright light Of Higher
Court, find their seats contested.
The execution of criminals, of course
is subject which interests Us at this
time. Electricity does not yet obtain
in Africa, though there are other
shocking methods of executions. A
favorite one seems to be like this:
The defendant is placed in a sitting
posture, with nothing to sit on. He
is then bound to two stakes which
are driven into the ground by his
side. His eyes are then bandaged.
Next cane collar is put around his
neck under the chin. Now tall, en-
thnsiastic sapling is bent over so that
its top may be tied to this cane collar.
This stretches the neck of the brunette
homicide like that of Christmas
gobbler. The executioner now makes
a chalk mark across the back OF the
young mans said neck and splitting
on his hands-his own hands-he
swings big cleaver around his head
seven or eight times. All at once, as
some one looks at the strange scene,
he notices that the head of the homi-
eide is missing. Some boys climb the
fence, and over in the kraal back OF
the bungalow they find it. A fight over
the head follows amid much merri-
ment.
Missionaries on the Congo, it is
said, will soon resort to the method OF
revival now so popular among the ne
groes OF Georgia, by offering large
watermelon to each convert. It would
have been tried this year had the
melons been given an opportunity to
mature, but they were prematurely
eaten. Even the usual sign,

Mr.. Ward has received a gift, for
instance, of bananas, plantains, and
several pounds of human flesh from
an admirer, just asan old frontiersman
always sent a sparerib to his neighbor
when he butchered. Cannibal eti-
quette is worthy of close study, and
the tableware, such as eye spoons,
brain spoons, and blood scoops, serve
to make one glad that, even if New
York does not get the Worlds Fair,
it will not go up the Congo.
MI. Ward in FIVE years Of life at a
stretch in Central Africa has become
very thoughtful indeed, and days OF
unremitting toll and nights of intense
anxiety have caused grave and ear
nest nature. 1t is not the killing of a
lion or tiger or an elephant alone
that entities an explorer to the pro-
found consideration of those who re-
main at home, but the great courage
and steadfastness Of purpose which
enables man to brook delay for
months while an ignorant old royal
Aunt-eater ponders over the problem
of whether he will let the white man
cross his picturesque jungles and well
kept swamps or not; delays that are
dangerous, and yet often unmarked
by any incident for days outside Of
the regular royal assessment. Then
comes the treachery, the deadly dis
eases that lurk in the imperfect sani-
tary arrangement of interior Africa,
and the general curiosity to know
how young Englishman would taste
with coon gravy.
