nar,nr Robbery as lacrosse.

LACROSSE, Wis, October 2O.-Three
daring men held up every one 10 Joseph
Ausfelder's saloon at 10 O'Clock last
night. shot two persons, one OF them
probably fatally, cleaned out the money
drawer and made their escape before
their victims could made an out cry or
summon the police. The boarders and
habitues Of the place were seated at the
tables playing cards when the men,
each with a dark handkerchief tied
over tie lower part Of his face, entered
the saloon. Each one Of tho men carried
big revolver and the trio covered the
whole crowd ia a twiDkling and COM
manded every one to yield up whatthey
had.

materials which had been inferred
with the bbdied. Perhaps the distlnc-
ton was one OF social position, OF per-
haps it was only one OF wealth; possibly
| IL was both. at any rate, these coffins
in the mound contained an almost In
| finite variety Of implements and uten-
sils in stone, copper. earthenWare ana
woven materials, and even through the
earth of which tho mound was COM
posed these relics were frequently to DO
discovered.
I was incredulous concerning the
'pygmy' story from the first. and the
measurements made confirmed me In
the belief that these remains were those
OF race not very different from the So
called Village Indians OF the southwest
in point Of stature.
1t was CHASTITY work to unwrap these
stiffened bodies and work over the
crumeling fragments with tape-line and
pencil. but IL resulted in finding thar
the bones were certainly those OF race
of tall men. Other explorers have found
Isolated groups Of graves containing the
bodies OF children only, as was SHOWN
by the condition Of the teeth and other
bones. 1t wss apparently their custom
to bury their children apart. and IT may
be that the Tennessee mountalneers
have come upon these segregations OF
small bones and mistaken them Tor the
bones OF pygmy race.
The race affinities OF the so-ca!ied
pvgmles are very doubtful. Several
writer's upon the question lind close re-
semblance between their habits and
those. of the Peruvian 1ncas, and In
many ways 1 know that they closely
ressmbled or perhaps were Identical
with the Aztecs and some OF the semi
civilized nations Of ancient Mexico ana
Central America.
In the arts and the manufactures
the pygmies were somewhat behind the
Aztecs, for their pottery is rough ana
without glazing, while that OF the
Aztecs was in many cases finely en-
ameled. In their ceramic decorations,
too, they were behind, having made
extensive use Of a common iron oxide
as a pigment, and this has not kept It's
color we'll.
One of the common designs upon the
pottery is In the form Of o well defined
cross, inclosed in figure OF circular
outline. It is q question whether this
has any particular significance. Many
of the vases and pitchers and other
vessels were designed after the human
figure and after some of the common
birds and animals, many OF the portraits
being quite true to life.
They worshipped strange Gods, these
''pygmies," the stone graves, the
mounds and the earth all around con-
tanning an endless number Of images 10
stone and baked earthware. II
would seem that. In order to find a nse
for all these divinities, every act from
the beginning to the end OF their lives
must have baen performed under the
auspices Of separate god. To judge
from tha expressions Of the faces-all
ugly enough-there must have been
both angels and devils in the pygmy re-
llgion. These gods came In all sizes.
apparently to suit the depth Of religious
conviction or the depth OF pocket OF the
would-be worshipers; they are from q
few inches to nearly or quite three feet

MEMPHIS, TENN, October 2o.-There
is an old graveyard right over yonder,
t'other side of that ridge" my compan-
ion said, indicating the direction with
a nod Of MS head.
'An old graveyard ! exclaimed"
ST didn't think there were enough peo-
ple here to make a graveyard thrive.
We were trayersing, on horseback,
one OF the spArsely settled rough hill
districts Of western Tennessee, and
were, / thought several miles at least
from any human habitation. What
purpose would a graveyard serve, es-
pecIally an old oneP
"'Tain't that" my companion said,
compassionateiy, "'tain't no common
human graveyard; it's the Leetle Peo-
pie. Been there since the Lord knows
when-thoy was all dead an buried
long before white folks come"
The Little People! Who has not
heard the Tennessee mountaineers' ira
dition of the pyRmy race which once In
habited their fields and woods? And
here we we're within few steps OF one

do TO 60 past in this way.
"Wait, said, ~ want to stop" and
we turned our horses heads away from
the rough road and struck across the
ridge of low hills behind which lay the
graves Of that almost forgotten people.
Two small streams, one flowing north
and the other northwest, met here
among the hills, and right In the con-
fluence, in the angle, lay the cemetery.
There was low wall Of earth inclos-
ing an area OF perhaps seven or eight
acres, the earth in this wall having
been thrown up from trench dug just
within. Whether 1t was intended to
serve merely as q boundary or in the
sterner capacity of fertilization we do
not know. The crumbling wall was
covered thickly with the rank vegeta-
ton Of the hills, which had irreverently
intruded upon the consecrated ground
and was making itself perfectly at
home, feeding upon the dust OF the
dead.
The earthworks were semicircular In
outline. In the eastern end OF the In
closure was low mound, about eight
feet high and eighteen or twenty feet

ing the entire American Federation OF
Labor convene in December. M ANAL
pamation OF every labor order and labor
union in the United Stats, WhereDy all
shall recognize a single supreme au.
thority, and in which our hundreds OF
thousands of workmen shall be an or
canized unit in everything that seems
TO affect their interests, is the END
aimed ct. Only one potent influence is
being exerted to thwart. the execution
of this scheme-that OF Samuel Com
pers. Another man, willingly or un-
willingly, is looked to as champion OF
the movement, Terence V. Powderly,
and he has already given 1t qualihed
approval.
IL will be remembered that Mr.. Pow
derly had lately authorized an announce
ment OF his coming withdrawal as gem
eral master workmen OF the Knights OF
Labor. 1t Is now authorltatlvely de-
clared by those who have served on the
committees which requested Mr.. Pow
derly TO accept one more election that
he has consented. The complications
growing out OF Secretary Treasurer
John w. Hayes official standing have
also, IL appears, been satisfactorily ad-
insted pending the converting OF the
general assembly. Mr.. Hayes bad been
notified by Mr.. Powderly and others oil
the Knights OF Labor board OF officers
that his Office was deemed vacant. Mr..
Hayes took the position that only the
general assembly had authority TO re-
move him since 1t elected him TO the
Office. Therefore be refused to be dis
possessed. Action will be taken by the
delegates when they get together.
1t has not yet transported that ~
conference In which representatives, OF
the country's great labor orders re-
Gently participated this scheme OF q
gigantic combination was almost con-
summated. Mr.. Gomphers claims &C.
cording to Delegate James p. Archi-
bald: the veteran labor organizer Oh
the United States and delegate from
New York to the Knights Of Labor
general assembly next month, we're so
exorbitant ia the matter OF authority,
