The sequal to the story Of the ont
rageous hazing and branding of five
Juniors by a numbero of sophomorcs at the
Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware. O.,
is that the offenders have been dismissed
from the college, arrested and placed
under bonds to stand trial A story that
should go along with that of the action of
the college men" and which is rather
more sensational, has lately come to light.
On the same night that the men" took
the juniors in hand and branded them.
about forty of the girls of MOnnett Hall. a
branch of the university, took five other
girls and proceeded to Initiate" them in
manner similar to the way the boys car
ricd out their plans They took the girls
down in the basement and behind locked
doors burned pictures, letters, etc, with
nitrate of silver on their breasts, bodies
and limbs. The burns will leave sears for
life. After the burning the girls held a
ghost dance" to the accompaniment of
their victims means. The probabilities
are that they will be served as the young
men were dismissed from the college and
held for trial for assault.

That Famous Harris Case.

Gov. Flower does not seem to be salts
fed with the result of the trial OF CARLYLE
Harris and has adopted the extraordinary
course of appointing a commissioner to
examine the additional evidence for and
against Harris that the indofatigable
lawyers have accumulated since Harris
was finally sentenced to death. If ever "A
man had a fair trial Harris had The
highest court i'm the state reviewed his
case in an opinion that has been generally
commended for fairness and ability. On
the motion for a new trial all was said in
Harris behalf that it was possible to say.
The conclusion reached by the jury and
all the courts was that there wasn't rea-
aonable doubt of his guilt.
The impression prevails that Harris
sentence win be committed to imprison-
mont for life The governor seems to be
yielding to popular clamor in Harris be

The matter of blackballing of Mr. Theo-
dore Seligman by the Union League Club,
of New York, on account of his race and
religion, has been taken up by the leading
rabbis. From their pulpits in New York
on last Saturday Rabbits Raphael Benia-
min and F. de Sofa Mendes denounced in
round terms the bigotry of the black
halling party. Rabbi Benjamin made "The
Union League Folly" the subject of his
address. He said, among other things,
that the leagues folly" was an I'm
American, un-C Christian" act done by a lot
Of 'brainless youths" for the purpose of
"heauing indignity upon the Hebrews of
America" Rabbi Mendes' remarks were
less warm but not less earnest in protest
ing against the injustice done his people.
Each of the rabbis, however, assured his
hearers that the act of the Union League
Club did not portend the beginning of an
anti Semitic agitation in this country
Since the leaders and teachers Of the
Hebrew faith have so promptly resented
the clubs action, there is little doubt but
that the older members of the club will
endeavor to formulate and carry out some
plan of disavowing the action of the young
men who blackballed Mr.. Seligman.
The plan Of holding primary elections
/ for postmasters of the fourth-class was
recently tried in Indiana, as well as in
North Carolina, and the Indiana nominees
papers are on file with "Hcadsman" Max
well, with the prospect of favorable con
sderation. At first MIR. Maxwell was not
inclined to view the primary plan with
favor, SO it is said, and told the Indiana
/ congressman who presented the applica-
tions that he preferred the Endorsements
of citizens upon petitions. But when the
/ petitions began to come in indorsing the
same men who had been voted for, he
concluded that it would save time and
trouble to file the applications of the can
didates with a statement of the votes they
had received, and base his action upon

by the governor. acting under in
structions received from England, to
the effect that the Darien colony was
illegal and improper, and should not be
countenanced by His Maiesty's loyal
subjects. They arrived at CALEDONIA"
only to find, instead of d happy, pros
porous settlement of their fellow -conn-
trymen, waste and bowling wilder
ness. This was the harder for them, in
asmuch as this second expedition was
out not to settle a colony, but to recruit
order. The leader knew not what to
do, but Capt. Campbell, of Finab, ar
rived shortly afterward in sloop with
provisions and some more men; SO it
was resolved to hold onto the place.
Then the Spaniards came, invested the
fort and blockaded the harbor. Disas
ters accumulated fast, until, as Bore
land writes, "What with bad water
salt-spoiled provisions and absence of
medicines, the fort was indeed like Il
hospital of sick and dying men," The
Spanish general, seeing their condition,
offered easy terms of capitulation,
agreeing to help them out of the coun-
try if they would leave their guns and
ammunition and promise not to come
back again BY this time hardly 800 of
theco 'onists were fit for duty, and the
deaths were at the rate of sixteen per
day Finally, after stay of four
months and half, the broken-hearted
and physically debilitatcd band were
assisted on board the ships that had
brought them out, and three others
that had since arrived. Numbers died
of hardship at sea, malignant fever
broke out on board, one ship sprang u
leak and had to be run into Cartagena,
where she was sold to the Spaniards;
another was wrecked near jamaica, and
on board the others some $50 men per-
ished from disease on the voyage from
Caledonia and jamaica. At jamaica
more deaths occurred, intemperance
fastening the end of many, and the
numbers were further diminished by
desertions. The remaining ships were
refitted and again sailed for England,
but the Rising Sun was lost off Charles
town with about l4O souls. How many
survivors of the two expeditions
reached England is badly known, but
they were very few. SO ended the
great Darien colonization scheme

1t is not easy to be sleeping car por
ter on a long distance train. He gets no
sleep himself, except wink now and
then after he has the shoes BACKED, and
he is held to g. strict accountability for
erything that can be scratched,
broken or torn. No matter at what
hour the train arrives. he must have all
berths made up, unless the passengers
refuse to rise, and his car in a clean and
presentable condition. He has a long
sleep when he reaches town. The
worst enemies chat the porter has are
women, who want pillows at all hours,
who require tbe1r vaises several times q

Of the sidewalk in Third Avenue, near

on it and came near falling. A small
boy kicked it toward the inner edge of
the sidewalk and another small boy,
coming along just aftcrward, kicked it
back again. Two men stepped out of

carefully stepped over it. A fat man
stubbed his pet corn against it and
swore. A shop girls skirt was torn on
a nail in the hoop, and Il nurse girl,
wheeling baby carriage over it, nearly
upset a squalling infant.

enough to throw a thing like that into

farmer, who was the next passer. He
picked up the hoop, stepped to the
curb, pulled out big ,jack-knife, cut up
the hoop and threw the pieces into the
gutter. AS he did SO Il policeman laid a
heavy hand on his shoulder and said:

DIR. CARVER'S CLOSE CALL.
1t Required Quick Work with Pistol
to Save Him from Indians.

1t Required Quick Work with q Pistol
to Save Him from Indians.
A friend of mine who knows the ex-
pert shot intimately told me the. other
day of a thrilling experience of DR.. w.
f. Carver, in the unsettled part of Min
nesota, while trapping with a comrade
named Brewster. They caught some
Indians robbing their traps and fired
upon them with effect. For two months
after this they were forced to play
band of Indians. They had q "dug-
out" in little valley and felt secure in
this against reasonable number of the
foe. Late one evening Carver was
alone in the dug-out making biscuits.
He had thrown all his weapons aside,
and with,sleeves rolled up was working
the dough, when shadow was cast
from the entrance of the little cave.
Thinking it was his comrade, he said,
"Hello, partner, you are back soon"
In cultural tones came the reply, GLOW
Koola," and, turning, he saw three In
dams, White Antelope, Whistler and
Fat Bear, all well-known chiefs. They
had noticed that he was unarmed, was
interested in his occupation, and, in
stead of attacking him, Whistler, who
appeared to be in the authority, signed
to him to continue his work and pre-
pare supper for them.
Carver obeyed, making the biscuit
ready for baking and placing beavers
tail on the fire. Then he started for
some wood, indicating by signs that
wood was needed. Whistler motioned
him to remain, and White Antelope
went after the fuel He brought with
others one stick about the length and
size of base ball bat Carver placed
One end of this in the fire and laid sup
per for his savage guests upon buffalo
skin. The Indians began to eat in q
manner which made Carver, notwith-
standing his danger, grieve for the bis
cults which were SO rapidly disappear
ing.
Realizing the fate which awaited him
as soon as the supper could be disposed
of, Carver was devising some means for
reaching one of his pistols, which were
not many feet distant. Making pre-
tense of stirring the fire, he drew out
the blazing stick Of wood, dealt one of
the Indians stunning blow on the face,
gave the second vicious kick and
leaped over the third, who was dazed
by the flying sparks and the suddenness
of the attack. The next instant Carvers
pistol rang out three times as rapidly as
a skilled hand could pull the trigger,
and the three Indians as speedily be-
came "good Indians" for they were
