THE STRANGERS FIELD"
Bishop Taylor Tells why Thore Are
No Be=garn Gn Africa.

NO beEgnrA tu Africa.
One African custom observed by
Bishop Taylor has not been mentioned
by other travellers, and shows the
savage character In such a favorable
light that his description OF IL will
bear repetition In his own words. Ho
~SAyE:
- noticed that every village had
set apart u field for the use OF strang-
The chief wife OF the tribal king
cultivated this field, and stored away
the product in tho upper hall OF her
hut No man OF the tribe was per
mitted to touch OF the food thus stor-
ed. The kings wife had her share OF
thlA and made her living out OF IL
but all over and above the amount
actually consumed must be set apart
aid preserved.
This held Is known as tho .Strang-
er's field Whenever a stranger
comes into the village be makes known
his wants to the king. and he Is imme.
diatelY relieved. The best hut in the
village is set apart for him; he eats
OF tho food VI the strangers field and
the best wife OF the King prepares the
food for hlm with her own hand. He
remains a week. or a month, or any
reasonable length OF time and his de-
parture Is never hasteued. some
times he stays long enough to become
a member OF the tribe and he marrles
into the Kings family.
An amusing feature OF this custom
Ii the fact that INDECENT mem bers OF
the tribe sometimes leave their village
and go 70 other villages and become
strangers. so that very often when q
familiar face has been missed from q
certain village and / have asked
where So-and-so went or what becam,
OF him. some one has grRvely inform
cd me that So-and-so had grown poor
and become a stranger. Subsequent
ly have run across Ia " So-and-so in
a distant village living, % the TAT OF
the land as a stranger and being
treated to royal hospitality. There
are no beggars In Africa. When o
man or woman becomes too poor 10
get along comfortably he or sha
makes the circuit Of adjacent villages
as o stranger"

PARIS, Jan. 16.--inteTHe to-day an
nounces that the French government has
not promised support to the new Panama

French physicians criticise Koch's re-

shrouded IN mystery. Physicians also
say that no patient treated In France ac-

Further experiments are needed before q
final opinion can be formed as to the
merits of the lymph. Meanwhile physi-
clans urge that the remedy should
neither be deserted or Oyerpraised.

which time nothing can be heard Of him.
His father was here today, aud

PARoCHIAL SCHOOLS.
A Lively Fight to Cut Them OF From

SALTWATER, MIMI, Dec l2-The pa
rochial public school row Is to be pushed to
a conclusion at once. The whole commun-
ity is worked up over the matter. The
Pr. testants fear being driven to the wall
by the Roman hierarchy, The Protestants
claim that the foreign system is not whole
some 70 Americans. Monday morning a
delegation of Protestant ministers will call
on n. q. Clapp. president Of the city school
board, and ask that contract making the
parochial school part of the public school
system be snnulled on the ground that it is
illegal.
AN INJUNCTION TO BE OBTAINED.
II the board pays no attention to this re-
quest an injunction will be served on the
board. If no results are obtainabla from
this delegation Of citizens will refuse to
pay taxes on the ground that the money is
not spent for the purpose for which it was
levied. 1t is understood that the
local Catholics are unable to take
any action in the matter, because
il has gone out OF their hands to the pope.
The move to prevent the parochial schools
from sharing in the public school money is
based on a charge that the contract between
the parochial authorities and city school
board, providing that no religious doctrine
shall be taught in the schools between the
hours of a. m. and 4 p m, is being
openly violated ,as the Catholic catechism is
taught between and 80 D. m.

turn the fire. which they did, fatally
wounding Nike Copuicine, Mike Minnel-

PARIS, Dec. 12.-The fears expressed that
the existence Of the cabinet might be termI-
mated to-day, owing to the extreme dissatis-
faction of the members Of the right at the
governments announcement In the Cham
Der OF Deputies yesterday of its intention to
Introduce a bill dealing with associations,
religious and secular, have not been real
ized.
RESUMPTION OF THE DEBATE.
In the Chamber Of Deputies to-day the
debate on NJ. Hubbard's motion of yester-
day condemning the hostile attitude Of the
clergy and demanding that steps be taken
for separation Of church aud state was very
heated
NJ. Turrel demanded that fresh laws
against the clergy be enacted.
NJ. de Lafosse, speaking for the members
OF the right, adtured the government not to
disturb tue present relations OF the church
and state.
Premier de Freycinet said that he would
never allow the pretensions of the clergy 20
unbound by laws. He affirmed that the
present state OF affairs must be- changed, :
but stated that the government was op
posed to the separation of the church and
ment would introduce a bill relating TO
associations. The measure would not be
especially directed against the clergy. but
they must take warning.
HOSTILITY DENIED BY BISHOP.
Bishop Freppel, "A member for Brest,
denied that the clergy had assumed an at
titude hostile to the republic. He declared
that they were In no wise opposed to the
present form Of government. The organic
clauses Of the conoordat, he claimed, had
become obsolete and could no longer be used
against the clergy.
The chamber rejected NJ. Hubbard's
motion by a vote of 346 to 1Sl amid much
excitement
III. hyet then proposed a vote Of conf
dencs, pledging the government to use it's
powers to compel the clergy to submit to
the law: The resolution was passed 243 to
Us. This saves the cabinet.
M. Pichon then placed on the table pro.
posal for the separation Of church and state
and Nj. Hoveiacque introduced another for
the suppression of religious congregations
and the naturalization" Of their property.

ST. PAUL, MINI, Dec. 12-The alliance
organ, the State, is out this week with an
other "hold-your-whsat" circular, and pre-
sents the usual array Of figures to show that
the farmer will profit by following the adj

present and future deliveries from
farmers will fill but a small por-

advise the farmers to create an unnecessary
scarcity or to repudiate his debts, but to
sell only what he Is obliged to when the
receipts are large and increasing. and when
they are on the decline to sell only certain
portions each month. Taking all things
