Arab slave dealers In East Africa are trv.

Arab slave dealers In East Africa are try
ing new scheme to defeat Europeans bent
upon suppressing the slave trade. 1t has
been their practice to treat their weaker cap
tives with great cruelty. They have now be-
gun the policy OF kindness and indulgence.
The newly caught slaves are placed In the
care Of older bondsmen. receive plenty OF food
and drink. and are encouraged in the most
dissolute and immoral practices. Thus grad
ually persuaded that slavery Is really rather
pleasant thing. they are taken to the coast
without chains or other tokens that would be-
tray their servile condition. They are loaded
with merchandise and under the name Of
porters both men and women are brought
down to the sea in spite OF the interdct
against this practice.
The Arabs take care to tell their victims
most horrible stories Of European atrocities.
and long before they get to the coast all whites
are odious to the deluded blacks. and they do
not hesitate to tell every ono that they are
free. preferring to deny the fact that they are
bondsmen rather than receive their freedom
at the hands Of tho whites. This is the story
the missionaries tell. and they add that it Is a
perplexing matter nowadays to distinguish a
newly caught slave from hired porter.

VERY YOUNG MRS. CAREY:
Her Unclo Willing to Step Down - Guar
dian, But Not to he RE- moved.

The case OF Anastasia Carey. the girl bride
Of Joseph Carey. came up in the Orphans
Court in Newark yesterday on application for
the removal OF her uncle. Owen Kane. as guar
dian. William ]. Kearns. counsel for the girl.
insisted that the letters OF guardianship
should DO revoke as his client was now mar
ried. Judge Henry. who appeared for Kane.
said he saw no reason why the guardian
should be removed. as there were no facts set
forth in the petition. for such action Of the
court which would be a reflection on MIR.
Kane. The petition showed that Miss Tevlin
at the time OF her marriage was o minor. and
the presumption was that the marriage was
voiG.
1t will bc remembered that Anastasla. aged
IA. was married to joseph. aged IL. on Feb. ~.
made until Mach 4. Mr. Kearns brought in
that point. saying that Miss Tevlin had no
guardian at the time of her marriage. and con-
seuuently tho consent OF q guardian could not
be given. Tho fact that she was a married
woman. he said. was suppressed in tho uppli-
cation for n guardian.
Judge Kirkpatrick said that as the girl was
now over IA she could apply for u new guar
dian, and Judge Henry said that his client
would make no objection to such an apuicn-
ton. but he did not want to be removed by tho
Court, as that would look like u reflection on
him. An application was made subsequently
to have Michael q. RiOrdan. an uncle al tho
young husband appointed her guardian. and
Mr.. Kiordan gnvr $1,000 bonds. He will DO

They were convinced that they had fallen
on bad times. the worst times which had
ever como. and that things generally were
desperately out Of joint The rise OF
democracy filled many OF them with
forebodings even sadder than those OF DR..
DIX to-day. They believed that II the
people were allowed their own way. they
would go straight to the devil and carry
the Government along with them.
Well. a century has passed, and what Is
the practical result2
II DR.. DIX could be set back In even New
York as 1t was In his youth. and be able to
contrast 1t with New York as It is now. he
would be amazed that an improvement go
vast and an advancement so great could
have occurred in q period 80 short.
He would find progress in every
direction. religious. moral. political.
intellectual. and material. II he could
carry out In fact his imaginary COM
parison OF kodak views Of the past and the
present, he would return from his journey
backward to glorify the New York OF this
time even more than he vilifled it In his
sermon to the Sons Of the Revolution.
He Is too much Of q man to yield to the
weakness Of narrow and commonplace age
by repeating the old. old croak that the
former times were better than these. as II
the evolution Of civilization and the prophe-
cies Of religion were the delusions OF men.

A KITE TO THE RESCUE
SEEMING Ont Experimental Life Liae In
the Fnce of Wind and Tide.

SEEMING Ont nm Experimental Life Liae In
the Face OF Wind and Tide.
The experiment OF sending out life line
attached to n buoy by means OF kite was
tried yesterday at South Brother Island by Mr..
]. Woodbridge Davis.
The kite. which. when folded. is the size Of
an oar. was spread and two lines attached.
which were run out from reels provided with
ratchets and hand brakes. the construction Of
which was recently described in The Sun.
Tho kite rose instantly and pulled hard. By
means Of the two steering lines 1t was de-
flected to tho left and right OF the due leeward
point 67h degrees. sweeping through total
angle OF 1856 degrees from extreme to ex-
treme.
Riker's Island was not directly leeward OF
South Brother. but tho Kite was readily made
to pull toward the southern end OF Riker's
the main line at the buoy. The buoy was
dragged down the beach and scudded through
the water at n rapid pace. dashing the foam
about 1t. At times 1t Jumped. like a porpoise
eight feet out of the water and took forward
leans Of fifteen m feet It Was dragged over q
that island.
The distance was not measured. but 1t ap-
peared to be more than half mile. A strong
tide was sweeping through the channel Mt
stream in a great curve. After the kite. and
buoy had been detached by party on Riker's
Island, 1t took four men on South Brother.
pulling together. half an hour to haul in the
line that the kite had dragged out In few
minutes.

Mlsrepre sentations.
To THE EDITOR OF THE Suy-Sir: Out OF tho
mists OF ignorance and false presentation OF
the silver question beg the space to report
the following facts for the practical consdera-
ton OF your wide community OF readers:
The prime factor OF influence here against
tho enactment Of the pending Silver bill is the
specious accusation that 1t aims to hoat
seventy-cent dollar. But the present market
price OF silver is to be accounted for. and its
future Is not as uncertain as 1t now appears.
First-Note our newspaper instigation OF
foreign opinion as to tho requirements and
operation OF our existing law OF 1890. This
European influence Is reflected In New York.
This opinion and its reflection appear in
Saturdays cabled quotation OF an editorial in
the London Times. thus: Tho accumulation
of almost useless bullion is producing the
natural consequence. and business mon are
awakening to perception OF the DANGER and
in tho New York Evening Posts review OF the
state OF trade to- day, thus: AS for silver. 1t is
apparent that the time must soon come when
tho enormous mass OF about 43OOOO.OoO OF
silver accumulated in the United States
Treasury under the Silver Purchase act must
como upon the market in one way or another"
The actual fact. however. is that the title to
this silver bullion in the Treasury. of the
United States is carried In the, pockets OF the
people In the form Of notes ~ ss ,ha
