A Startling Proposition Made to the At
torney General.
From the Washington Star.
The recent assassination of Mayor Har-
rison has been the subject of innumer-
able communications TO the president and
the members of his cabinet as to the best
means of preventing q repetition OF such
a calamity. The following letter, re-
ceived by the attorney general from q
resident Of Western city, is good in
dex of the others:
Thinking over the sad case of the
murder Of Mayor Harrison, OF Chicago,
and some other cases that have happened,
thought would make a suggestion to
you. l heard it stated lately that there
were 1000 murders in these states last
year, and 1000 brought to justice. sug-
gest that you or some one in your hon.
orable house bring in bill to legalize
lynching for one year, and see il it would
not curtail those murders, the lynchers
to be tried for their lives if they killed an
innocent person. Notice in the Mosaic
code there is not law against avengers
OF blood. Whoever sheddeth man e
blood, BY man shall his blood be shed.
We cannot improve Gods laws, and
when it became law not leave it in the
statute books only, but send conspicu.

postofiice in the Union.
"If it were in every murderer's mind
and heart that an outraged community
would kill him if he would kill-a goot
many would pause and think. Some
years since, three miles from here, &
man shot his brother, and dishonest
lawyers for money got the Jury, by some
means, to acquit him-and just 30 al
over, the lawyers have good harvest fo
defending such persons.

Clad in Picturesque Garb They Form
an Interesting Feature.
Children as part of wedding pageants
are more seen this season than ever be-
fore. A fashionable London wedding is
almost unknown just now that does not
show in the bridal procession one or
more children in picturesque garb, lend
ing, with the flowers, a charming effect Of
unconscious beauty. at a recent New
\ Ork wedding four children assisted. in
describing the event the New York Times
says that two flower girls, each about 10
years old. in empire frocks OF white India
silk and carrying large white enamel
baskets Of dalseS and orange blossoms,
led the train of six bridenlaids down the
aisle to meet the bride, whose maid of
honor was another young miss of 10, as
pretty as picture, in her graceful gown
Of white crepon and big hat with droop-
ing plumes, as was the bride herself. A
the altar the groom and best man were
waiting, and beside them stood little
fellow of IN Il continental suit OF black
velvet, with white satin waistcoat, lace
ru1lies and low shoes with buckles. He
carried in his small gloved hands a silver
tray, upon which, on a tiny mat of white
velvet, rested the ring. 1t was noticed
that when the best man stopped to take
it from the small page it was tied in
with narrow white ribbon, wise pre-
caution, since otherwise such inexperi-
enced little hands might easily have
tilted the important circlet to the floor.
When the ceremony was over the flower
girls preceded the bride again, scatter
ing blossoms before her as they walked,
and the small page, still holding his tray,
marched along in solemn state directly
behind her. 1t was amusing to watch the
little fellow, who had evidently been in
structed not to step upon tue brides
train, but as evidently had not been told
about the flowers that lay upon the floor
in his path. These he decided were to be
equally respected and with careworn
expression of responsibility on his face
he made his way down the aisle taking
funny little skips this side, and that TO
avoid trampling the blossoms, but keep
ing always in serious mind and sight the
trailing length of satin thatswept just be-
fore him. 1t is these little unexpected
things which children do, their tremen-
