Killed an Outlaw.

Harmon Murray, The notorious col
cred outlaw, who has defed the Authori

wide section Of country in Florida, was
killed about daylight Friday morning b.
Hardy Early, a coored lad Of l.. The
killing occurred in a swamp near Archer
Florida Murray called on Early about

Archer, where he said he was going to

Early TO the latters brothers house and
made him produce double -barreLled shot
gun. Both barrels were loaced and Early
put Il fteen more in a barrel
The two then started toward Archer
having 70 pass through q swamp on the

No Smoking on the Cars.

The, management of the Missouri
Pacific railroad system in Arkansas and
Louisiana has virtuf lily abolished smoking
on all of its passenger trains. When the
law went into effect the colored coach was
placed next to the baggage car; a divided
car was placed next and the first class
coach was behind. The divided car was
used as smoker, the members of each
race using their respective portion of the
car. The law, however, provides for
separate coaches. Yesterday an order
was issued to take effect Immediately, in
structing all conductors not to permit any
smoking on any train in Arkansas or
Louisiana excepting the smoking room of
sleepers and chair cars II is regarded
as one of the means adopted to make the
people sick Of the separate coach law, for
everybody knows the average citizen loves
to smoke, but in order to have separate
coaches he must give up his cigar. If the
conductors undertake 20 eject any passep.
gers for indulging IN the weed, some lively
law suits will most likely be the result.

IT is an exceptional married woman

IT has always been supposed until
latter days that colleges are endowed
and maintained for the purpose of in
tellectual development. That unfor-
tunate percentage of young men af-
hicted with such persistent stupidity
as to be incapable of intellectual de-
velopmeut was supposed under the
intellectual theory to retire from col
lege when the fact was demonstrated
by their failure to pass examinations.
The new theory that they are the
chosen class presents a novel view
both of college institutions and the
mental fibre of the college athletes.

Electricity at the Fair.

AT meeting of the Electrical Con-

the electrical division OF the Worlds Falr
delivered an address. He said he had
been delegated by Director General Davis
to explain to the convention the nature of

tant part in the exposition, A separate
building would be devoted TO electrical ex-
hibits, and all the power required for the
exhibition would be provided by.eleetric-

started for the holding OF great inter

the movements, which should be under

the auspices Of the United States govern

The Hawaiian queen an Anglomania,

A Honolulu letter saws the new
Hawaiian queen becomes daily more un-
popular with the natives and Americans,
as she takes no pains to conceal her favor
iteism for the English and ignores the
sufferings of the natives at the hands of
the big sugar corporations. The repuhli-
can feeling in the island is spreading
rapidly. The platform of the receruy
formed labor party demands new con =
stitution, republican form OF govern
ment and hints at annexation to the
United States.
The recent census shows that over half
the white population has left the island in
the last six years, having been crowded
out by Asiatic coolies, imported by the
sugar planters, and the natives are rapidly
dying OF.

The tendency to small families is
observable in this country, but here it
seems to prevail rather among the
rich and the well-to-do, the educated
and the refined. than among the poor
and the uncuItivated. English travel
ers have long made the smallness of
American families a charge against
our civilization, and they have also as
sailed the morality of France for
like reason; but this last census indi-
Gates that they have the same evil to
deal with at home. Marriage is de-
creasing in England, and the birth
rate is falling of even more. Once
begun, too. this decline is likely to
continue, and it may grow to be very
serious, as it is in France Already it
has overthrown the estimates and cal
culations of the statisticians of popu-
lation, at time, too. when the pros
perity of the kingdom has been fully
up to the average, unless it be as to
the classes dependent on agricultural
production

THERE is no doubt of the growing
sentiment in behalf of woodlands, and
here and in England, where the earth
and those who dwell upon it have suf-
fered much from ignorant and ruthless
cutting, there is a movement looking
to the proper obstruction of keepers
and foresters. who shall fell inteli-
gently and keep the wood free from
bad and rotting old trees and still a
perpetual sea of rolling green foliage.

IT should not be forgotten that in
all migratory movements the males
The manly pioneers come first to Sc
lect home and to secure fym foot
hold in the new land. When they
succeed they send for their wives and
little ones. If they fail they do not
subject their families to the hardships
rnd vicissitudes which they must en-
counter. There is no doubt that many
thousands of immigrants act upon this
prudent policy, and these constitute
the most desirable and worthy contri-
buttons to the country's population.

RED tape, or a certain amount of it
is perhaps, necessary in all govern
ments. but it is not thing to be
proud of. and certainly in demo-
cratic government it is desirable to
have as little of it as possible. This
was emphasized by Thomas Jefferson,
the first day of his administration
when he rode to the capitol in com
mon garb, hitched his horse, and pro-
ceeded unattended 20 take the oath of
Office as president of the United States.

We are nowhere near the limit of
our agricultural resources, but from
this time forward more labor and pro-

forcing of settlement will only serve
