LOCKED IN A TRUNK.

While Playing with q Kitten a Two.
Year-Old Repeats tho Experiences Of
Gencvre.
Mary, the two-year-old daughter of
jeremiah and Margaret Driscoll, Of
Hayerhill, Mass. was the victim of
peculiar mishap Wednesday, and she
passed through an ordeal which her
friends will not care to again undergo
II she lives to be a centenarian. Mamie
was playing with kitten in a room
where there was large travelling
trunk left unlocked. Suddenly she
was missed and search was instituted
for her; but she could be found no.
where in the house TO make
matters more distressing, her voice ap.
peared in distress, and could be plainly
heard The family looked everywhere
under beds, under the piazza, in the
basement, in the attic, even in the
stove; but little Mamie could nowhere
be found. Her parents were frantic In
the meantime her voice could be heard
continually, growing fuinter, but more
agonizing. The mother, WIN, was rush
ing about frnntically, became un-
Sou"ciouS NLBe crown was ~
tracted to the scene, and they began
literally to tear the house to pieces
Several of the women were made i'll by
the excitement After four hours
search the hunt was temporarily given
up, and the voice was supposed to be of
ghostly origin. Wednesday evening
the trunk happened to be moved, and
known to be empty its weight caused it
to be examined. In it was lying the
child alive, but unconscious. It's mind
may be gone, due to the fright She
crawled in during play and wns caught
by the snap lock.

WENT BACK

To Serve Out His Roma rhnblo
Course of a Convict who Escaped From
the Mississippi Penltcnsiary.
Five years ago a white man named
w. T. Hunnicutt escaped from ths Mis-
sissippi penitentiary. he was sentenced
for ten years for stealing a mule in
Washington county. Saturday he re-
turned and surrendered himself, and is
once more behind the walls On arriv-
ing in jackson he hunted up DR..
Sproles, pastor of the Baptist church
and chaplain Of the penitentiary, tell
ing him that while in the pen he became
converted at his services, and not long
since, while lying dangerously i'll at
Delhi La, that sermon had come back
to him, and he determined then and
there to lead better life, and return
to Mississippi to serve out his sentence,
even though he were not guilty of steal
ing the mule. DR.. Sproles accompanied
Hunnicut to Gov. Stones office, where
an explanation was had and clemency
prayed for. They then went to the
penitentiary, where the converted con-
vict voluntarily entered upon the pun
ishment meted out to him years ago. 1t
isvery probable he will be pardoned at
an early day.

T. S. Hammond, district U. S. fudge,
handed down his decision in the now
fanlons case of r. M. King, the Seventh
day Adventist. King was convicted a
year ago Of Sabbath-breaking by plow-
ing on Sunday in Obion county, Tenn.
He appealed to the Tennessee supreme
court, and the sentence was confirmed.
Then the Advcntists and National
Secular association took up the case.
Don M. Dickinson was engaged as coun-
sci, and the case YVES taken to the fed
eral court at Memphis last November
on a writ of habeas corpus, the conten-
tion being that the conviction was con-
trary to the bill Of rights of Tennessee
and the constitution of the United
States, and that the defendant was
held prisoner by the sheriff with
out due process OF law. The applica-
ton was argued several months
ago, and Judge Hammond has had
it under advisement ever since. The
opinion is u lengthy and learned docu-
ment, and dwells exhaustively upon
every phase of the argument in favor
of the religious prisoner. The defend
ant is remanded back to the custody of
the sheriff, to pay the fine or serve the
time in lieu according TO the sentence.
The decision is based not SO much on
the constitutionality of Sabbath laws
as upon the fact that King was
convicted under process of Tennessee
law, and it is not in the province of tho
federal court to review the case. Nal
ice, religious or otherwise, may dictate
prosecution, but il the law has been
violated this fact never shields the
law breaker. Neither do the courts
require that there shall be some NOR
al obloquy to support a given law be-
fore enforcing it, and it is not necessary
to maintain that to violate the Sunday
observance custom shall be of itself i'm
moral to make it criminal in the eyes of
the law. 1t may be harmless in itself,
because, rs petitioner believes God has
not set apart that day for rest and holi-
ness, to work Sunday. and yet if man
has set it apart in due form by his law
for rest, it must be obeyed as mans law
if not US Gods law.

HALF-.BREED.
Their Status Undor the Allo&.
nent Law.
a Decision which WIN AGect the Title to
Land Ali Through the Northwest.

Considerable comment has been
aroused ty the decision of the United
States court in regard to the status oi
children born of Indian women and
white or citizen husbands. The case
was that OF the United States VS. Ward,
on the charge of selling liquor to a
half-brced. The evidence was that the
half-b breed in question had colored
man for q father, who was citizen,
and an Indian mother. The decision OF
the court is that. the children follow the
status OF their father, and hence are
citizens of the United States, and
amenable only To- It's laws. II the de.
cisicn holds good it will affect the
ownership Of the greatest part of the
lands taken up in tho vicinity of Ft.
Pierre, S. D., and Stanley, across the
river from Pierre, as it is nearly all
held by squaw-mon's children or their
wives. The department officials at
Washington have always held the con-
trary, and the allotting agents, who
have been and are now at work, are
performing their duty under instruc-
tions to give all people of Iudian blood
preference for lands under the nllot-
ment law.

iting Berlin some months ago he found
that the military archives of the general
staff were completely lacking in copies
of the many and valuable publi-

by the U. s. department of war.
He also ascertained that the military

destitute Of German war publications.
Upon this information Minister Phelps

the United States from Canada and
who were discharged by order Of United
