the law-not by "A lawess mob. The men
who broke into The Frederick Jail and
put the wretched brute to death became

Lynching is in the eyes of the law
nothing short Of murder. This Fred

denotes. Every organ of public opinion
should as a matter of principle steadily
teach the people the paramount i'm
portance Of law and order. But we do
not have to go far from homs to find
newspapers which take different view
of their duty, and think that lynching
is a matter out Of which IL is proper to
make political capital. Accordingly
they comment severely on such things
when they occur in States which give
| Democratic maiorities, and hold lynch
ings up as instances Of the depravity Of
men who vote the Democratic ticket,
but never say word when the politi-
cal situation is reversed. Our morning
contemporary, for instance, makes "A
specially of editorials about lynching
in Democratic States, and il Maryland
had elected the German ticket at the
recent election this Frederick lynching
would have furnished an excellent text
for its usual dclivcrance on the sub
ject But it SO happens that Mary,
land gave Republican majority, and
that Frederick is in the Congressional
district Of the Chairman Of the Repub-
lican State Central Committee. Con-
sequently this lynching does not re-
ceive word of editorial mention at
the hands Of our contemporary. In
telligent people, however, will not fail
to understand that lynching is not APP
proved by any political party, and has
no partisan Significance. 1t is vic.
lent and lawless outbreak, and its in
creasing frequency is sad commen-
tary upon the civilization and intelli-
gence of the people.

behind them they decided that the
wOman must be killed at all hazards.
They. therefore. swiftly returned. each
by himself, hoping to surprise her.
Mrs. Sexton had remained outside the
house and on the alert. She managed
to keep track of the movements of three
of the Indians. but the fourth crept up
under cOver Of a ditch and had q fair
shot at her at a distance of 100 feet.
The bullet cut the waist Of her dress
under her left arm, but did not touch
the flesh.
AS Mrs. Sexton saw the smoke above
the ditch she left the shelter of the cab
in and advanced upon the Indian. Her
action ratified the buck, who had not
yet reloaded his rifle. and he rose up
to run away. From a distance of fifty
feet she fired and tumbled him over
with a bullet in his back. He was NOR
tally wounded and paralyzed from his
hips down, but lived about five hours.
The three remaining Indians took ref
uge behind the stable, which was about
fifty yards away. and the woman took
up a position at the corner of the cabin.
Ten or a dozen shots were fired at her
without effect. and then II of the
bucks carelessly exposed himself and
was shot through the left lung and died
in ten minutes. Only two were now
left out of the band of ten.
They probably agreed that their best
chance was to make a rush upon the
woman, for that was the eXpedient
adopted, They did Il foolish thing,
however, in firing upon her before the
rush. as they had only their knives to
depend on when they left cover. She
dropped one of them almost as soon rs
he stepped out. The other turned to
the west to run away. but stumbled
and fell. and as he got up he received
a bullet in the bach and pitched for
ward to die within five minutes. a
quarter of an hour later two white men
and three Indians who had been at
tracted by the firing. rode up from the
south. The CONAN was found seated
on the doorstep with the Winchester
living across her lap. She was pale ana
trembling. but by no means on the
point of fainting away. The only red
skin left alive was the man she had
shot in the ditch, and he it was who
gave the particulars of the attack.
AS soon as the news of the tragedy
reached Gray Wolf, chief of the tribe,
who was friendly to the whites. he or
dered the bodies of the Indians burned
and their property turned over to Mrs.
sexton. He also adopted Mrs. Sexton
as q sister.

The Awful Fate OF q Rcdskin.

suddenly leaped to his feet with a terri

internally. Smoke and even flames
were issuing from his mouth, and his
agony was something awful. His loud
screeches brought the members of the
camp about him, who looked on in
silent, terror-stricken awe, unable to do
anything for his relief. The combus-
ton continued until the Indian was lit

time after the spirit Of life had fed.

A 3OO.Year.Old Bank,

Japan has a banking house that has
been in business without a break for
over 300 years. 1t began with Kechigo
No Kami, an impoverished feudal noble
Of the province Of Ise, who broke away
from the traditions of his caste and
went into the liquor trade, manufactur-
ing sake from rice. One of his sons es-
tablished a bank, which two centuries
ago was removed to Toxic, the present
capital, and from the name Of the prin.
cipal at the time took the NAME, by
which 1t is nov known. of the Mitsui
Bank. Like the R%othschilds, the whole
family is engaged in the business, q
marked feature Of which is that ting
capital belongs to all in common, while
no one member can claim a separate
share. The most competent individual
is chosen president. The bank has now
over thirty branches and Is the greatest
private bank in Japan.

There was a small window on the 9th

We Have Room for MANY Mora y,

Have you any idea Of the number of
persons that the United States would
sustain without o~vercrowding the pop-
ulation or even going beyond the limit
Of density now shown by the State of
Rhode Island? The last census of the
pigmy State just gives it a popula-
ton OF 397 800. The area of the State
In square miles is only 1850, thus we
lind that there is an average Of 31S
persons on every square mile of her
territory. Scatter people all over the
whole land from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, and from the Gulf to the Brit
ish possessions as thickly as they are
now in Rhode Island, and we would
nave 945. 10000 inhabitants, instead
Of an insignificant 3d. 600. In other
words, II the United States could be
peOpled to their utmost sustaining
capacity. we could take care of nearly
two-thirds of the present population of
the globe.
