An Old Negro Woman Redeems the

A few weeks ago an old negress came from
Bridgetown, on the island Of Barbados, to
missionary ard asked him to read three masses
for Victor Hugo. The missionary was as.
tonished and at first believed that no had mis-.
understood the visitor. But the negress replied
to his questions that years ago she had given
aid to Hugo's daughter. who had married an
English officer against the will Of her father,
and had fed with him to Barbados The
officer deserted his wife, who consequently be-
came almost insane and was cared for In that
condition by the negress.
The negress wrote to the poet OF the sad con-
dltion OF his child. Hugo sent her 1000 francs
and mad her go to Paris with his daughter.
After remaining time in the house Of the
author the negress decided to return to Bar
BADGES. One reason for tais was the fact that
the poor daughter had become iDcurabIy III.

poet. who respected the negress becaus. OF the
love she had borne his daughter, said to her

Moser Found Guilty of
Criminal Libel.
MACDONOUGH THEATER WAR
A Young Girl Suddenly Dashed to
Death in Redwood Canyon-Notes
i'm Three Cities.

The suit for criminal libel against c. E.
Moser came up yesterday morning before
Judge Allen. The courtroom was crowded
to suffocation, but there were fewer
women on hand than on the previous day.
Only Frances Cameron and her gray
haired mother occupied the row of chairs
reserved for women spectators.
The defendant was continued on the
stand, and Mr.. Aram. his attorney, again
started in with his direct examination.
Nearly the whole morning hour was con-
sumed in wranglng over law points per-
tanning to the mode of questioning the
witness, and it was after II o'clock when
the witness was turned over to Mr.. Church
for cross-examination.
Moser was put through most severe
cro.s-examina alton. but no new points were
brought out. The witness became slightly
confused on one or two occasions. but in
the main bis story was not materially
shaken. Mr.. Church concluded in half an
hour after court convened after the noon
recess, to the surprise OF all, as it was
thought that his cross-examination would
take up the entire afternoon.
The witness was all through most ex-
plicit as to details, and when asked a
question would persist in entertaining the
house with his explanation of points.
His quaint and old-fashioned ways
would create an occasional laugh IN the
audience, and the court was compelled al
one time 10 warn the crowd that this was
not show. He ordered the Dailiff to lock
up Tor twelve hours the first person who
laughed in the courtroom This had the
desired effect.
After the testimony of the defendant
had closed, Mr. Aram, his LAWYER. asked
for continuance of the case until Mon
day next, in order that Lawyer Powell
who he claims is material witness in the
case, might be on hand. An affidavit TO
this effect was introduced and read, but
after deliberation the court refused to
allow continuance
The next witness called was j. Mac
donough, who is superintendent Of the
delivery department at the LEGAL postoffice

received at the postoffice were stamped.

Since the Franco-Prussian war in 1870
progress has been steadily made in the
breeding and training Of carrier pigeons
for military use There are times when
neither railways nor telegraphs serve to
convey urgent messages from one com.
mander TO another or TO the home gov
eminent. For that purpose nothing has
been so successful as carrier pigeons.
Germany has been especially progress.
sive in developing this branch of her
military service. The German emperor
sent back the homing birds with mes
sages to his empress from time to time
during his famous visit TO England in his
own yacht. The French naval vessels
carry birds for sea service, and now the
officers of American warships are taking
the matter mp and training birds success
fully. Several messages were sent lately
from our fleet off Fortress Monroe to
New York and Washington by this
means. Swift birds can travel 40 miles
an hour. The message is written upon
tissue paper and tied by silken thread
to the pigeons leg or underneath its
wing. In some instances the message,
after it has been written, is photographed
in greatly reduced size upon a thin colo
dion film, and this substance is used in
stead Of the tissue paper a magnifying
glass is in such cases necessary to de-
cipher the writing. The French declare
that the swallow is superioras a messen-
ger bird to the pigeon-that it is capable
of longer, swifter flights. If now some
experts could only break in the English
sparrow to do the work of carrier pi-
geon. how happy we should all be,

nur,aI Customs in Kentucky.

In the mountains of Kentucky when a
husband dies his funeral sermon is not
preached until after the death Of the
wife, nor that Of D wife until the hus-
band also is dead. Then preacher is
sent for, friends and neighbors are
called in, and the respect is paid to both
together
More peculiar is the custom Of having
tho services for ono person repeated, so
that the dead get their funerals
preached several times months and years
after their burial. / heard the pitiful
story of two sisters who had their moth
ers funeral" preached once every sum-
mer as long as they lived.
In strange contrast with this regard
for ceremonial observances is their neg
lect of the graves of their beloved, which
they do not seem at all to visit when once
closed or to decorate with those symbols
of affection which are the common indi'
cations Of bereavement. -"Blue Grass
