The Situation Is characterized by Uneasi-
ness and Fear.
WASHINGTON, April H.-Capt. Penny, U.
S. A., acting Indian agent at Pine Ridge,
has written, under date of April Z, long
letter to the commissioner of Indian affairs
relative to the situation at Pine Ridge. He
says the Indians look upon the recent legis-
lation by congress as another prom
ise, but their confidence is some
what strengthened by the perform
ance of the agreement as to rations.
He urges, however, that recent legislation
be carried into effect with all proper speed.
He says there is danger of future trouble
and bases the conclusion u oon the fact that
the people are In a state of unrest. They
have not begun farming. Their houses
and property were plundered and there il
feeling of discouraGement and a conviotio on
that it is hardly worth while to try again,
as there may be another war.

Operators Getting Nervous.

SooTrpALE, Pa, April 1.-THE exodus of
all but two companies of state troops,
coupled with large consignment of relief
money, has braoed the backbone OF the
l4,0oO strikers still out. As the soldiers
boarded the train in squads to-day. bitter
epithets were hurled after them. The oper-
ators ARE growing nervous and have doubled
the guards ut several points. Small sized
riots are now of nightly occurrence. Gen
orally they are led by women, who inllict
no great damage.

In Defense of Their Temple.

BENAREs, April 1.-THE excitement IN
this city, originating from the demolition
of the temple increases every hour. All
shops are closed, and natives of the city
and district have sullenly stopped work
and are gathering in large crowds in and
about the principal thoroughfares. The re-
suit 1s serious, and riots have already oc-
Cured between the enatives and local author
tiles of Benares. British troops are guard
ing all the banks and public buildings, and
also occupy many points of vantage
throughout the city and district. The
eventual effect of the spirit of resentment
and indignation existing among the Hin
docs, already felt far and wide in India,
cannot at present be correctly estimated.

LONDON, April 17.--Since Healy, across
the floor of the house. removed ms challenge
to the Parnellites, the Cork unionist load
ers there have sent Parnell assurance that
they will leave him clear field to fight out
the battle and that no unionst candidate
nor unionst support will obscure the issue.
This offer deprives Parnell of his last ex-
cuse for not facing Healy, but he will not
fight. The decision of the Cork hoard of
guardians yesterday, calling upon Parnell
to resign, shows that every chance he
had of success has vanished. Tho discon-
tent of the trades unions in regard to the
composition of the royal labor commission
grows in intensity. At n meeting to-dav
the parliamentary committee of the union
declared hostility to the commission unless
larger representation was given to the
trades.

Upon certain southern plantation, be
lore the late war, there was among the ne
gross an Cid man named Tony, whose
duty 1t was TO attend to a little overshot
mill, where was ground the meal used
upon the plantation. He was constitu-
tional grumbler, never satisfied that he
got his share of anything.
Between Tony and his master there ex-
listed strong friendship: they had been
playmates in boyhood, and Tony never
failed TO pour into his masters ear the
tale OF his real or imagined wrongs.
One summer an epidemic OF fever broke
out in the crowded negro quarters. 1t
prevailed for several weeks, and many of
the servants died, but Tony's house was
apart from the others, upon high hill
near the mill, and he and his family es-
capped the pestilence entirely.
One morning in the fall, after the cpl
denic had subsidized, his master, sitting
upon the gallery, saw Tony approaching,
with his usual moody, dissatisfied expires

The Ti~anaa

Every traveller who has visited Lima
writes enthusiastically about the charms
of the ladies, and attempts to analyze the
characteristics of their features and gait
All that has been said in praise of the
Limenas is we'll merited, except the COM
parsons which would give them unique
position in the hierarchy of feminine beau
ty. Pretty ladies with white skins, regu-
lar features, fine liquid black eyes, and a
well ordained distribution of flesh are to
be seen by the score in Lima; but, as
rule, it seems to me that their beauty is
shown to singular advantage by the ex-
treme simplicity of their costume, which
allows only the face to be seen, the white
ness CT the flesh and the brilliancy of the
eyes being set off by the contrast of the
dull black manta. In modern Partisan
costume the Limenas look less remarka-

was 1876 During the same period 1920
murders were committed. The dispropor-
ton between the total of the crimes and
the total of the capital punishments, law
full and otherwise, is painfully apparent.
The figures, however, are not complete,
for they fail to show the cases where ina
prisonment instead of the gallows was the
result of conviction. 1t may be safe to as
sumo, nevertheless, that at least half the
homicides avoided all penalty either
through escape or acquittal. For this
state of affairs the leniency of jurors, the
sympathy of neighbors, the skill of law
yers, and doubts as to the guilt of the &C
cused, as we'll as a thousand ard one other
things, are responsible. Some of these
conditions combined the other day to save
Eli Foster from the hangman and to ex-
tend the existence of Isaac Smith.
Eli Foster is a short, heavy set man, %
years of age. Since boyhood he has been
known to the people of Athens, o., as a
tough citizen" Eighteen months ago
Minnie Williamson brought charge Of
burglary against him. The chief witness
for the prosecution was a saloon keeper
named Daniel Bottomly. On his testimony
the jury convicted Foster, and he was sent
to the penitentiary for term of five years.
He only remained six weeks, however, as
the decision was reversed and the indict-
ment quashed.
Foster returned to Athens, and an
nounced that in due season he would "get
even" with Bottomly The day he reached

home he put himself in training for the
future tragedy by beating a man fright
fully with a beer glass. When arrested,
charged with deadly assault, he secured
bail and went out to accomplish his fell
purpose.
He first earned little money by hand
ling trees for gardener On being paid
off he sought his former haunts He
shook hands with an acquaintance he met
and babe him good-by. He drank beer at
a saloon, ate supper in restaurant and
then wandered about, drinking moro beer
and saying farewell to his friends. One of
them asked him if he was going away, and
he replied: Worse than that l am 60
ing to kill Dan Bottomly." Although
this statement was made with fierce earn
eStness, it does not appear that any one
thought it worth while to warn the threat
ened man of his danger.
At Evans saloon Foster borrowed a re-
volver and swallowed what be said was his
'last glass Of beer" Next he called on a
woman named Watts and left message
for her daughter that he was ''going to
kill somebody" He emphasized the re-
mark by firing u shot in the air To an
acquaintance whom he met little later he
announced that he was going to commit

mate after staggering with weakness took
his turn at the helm, read the burial serv-
ice, and launched the corpses into the deep
as the four men died in rapid succession.
The infant girl had to be locked in the
cabin, and during foul weather the water
there was sometimes foot deep. Often in
the lull of the tempest Mrs. Members
could hear the child calling, "Oh, mutter,
mutter!' and would shout encouraging
words n reply, but could not leave the

reached Freemantle without sighting a

over, but her husband suffered a relapse
