TREY FIGHT AT CHURCH.
Two Colored Poys Fall out at Colored
Social and are Arrested.

At the social of the colored people
held at their church Halloween night
there was unusual good cheer, until
about 10 O'Clock when two boys who
were in attendance fell out over a girl
Or some other equally attractive feature
and concluded that their happiness de-
pended upon the death of the other. The
two boys, IL is said threatened to do
some carving. and the police were cali
ed
Officers RemsDear and Sutton We're
soon at the door Of the church, and the
boys concluded 70 adjourn hostilities
until future time. and made leap
for the window which went out frame
and all with the fleeing Africans.
Eugene Craig was the last TO make
his escape and his coat was caught by
one Of the officers and ripped entirely
IN twaine. The boys, after a hard chase,
were captured and lodged in the city
calabOOse and forced TO associate with
the wicked HallOw' eeners who had
been gathered in out of the frost by the
police. Yesterday the boys were given
the usual fine under the charge of dis
turbing the peace. They left the police

He PLAYED PRINCE
HOW TRAITOR WILCOX GAME TO
MARRY A BARONESS.
While He was in Italy, Ostensibly Studying
Military Tactics In the Interest Of the
Hawaiian Government, He Made Bril-
liant Matrimonial Match on His Preten-
sions to Heirship to the Hawaiian
Throne-His Wife Discovers that He is
Fraud Through and Through and Gets
DIvorce-Where wilcox is Now.

London, Nov. IA dispatch to the
Pail Mall Gazette from Rome gives an
account OF the troubles which led to the
divorce suit brought by the Baroness
Gina Sobrero, a brilliant writer known
under the nom de plume of "Menta"
against ?. W. Wilcox, the Hawaiian
revolutionary leader who was sentenc-
ed to death in January Of the present
year for the share he took in the re-
bellion against the people of Hawaii,
but which sentence was afterwards
commuted to 50 years imprisonment
and 81, 900 fine. The baroness belongs
to a distinguished family of Piedmont
The, baroness, it appears from the tes-
timony, met Wilcox in Turin, to which
city he had been sent by the Hawaiian
government to study military tactics
He spent money freely and declared
himself to be the heir TO the throne of
Hawaii
The baroness was smitten with the Ha
waiian and succeeded in obtaining the
consent Of her family to their marriage
which was celebrated with great pomp
Among the many splendid presents re-
ceived by the then happy couple was on
which appeared to have been sent from
C1e KING Oh hawaii. Inc baroness
later on accompanied her husband to
Hawaii where. to her disgust and as
tonishment, she found that Wilcox was
really the son of a carpenter and a
Kanaka woman. When the baroness
recovered from her surprise and con-
sterna ton she reproached Wilcox with
his perfidy and he, fearing that she
would denounce him, began to treat
her cruelty, and kept her under lock and
key.
After a number Of more or less TO-
mantle adventures, described by the
baroness in her testimony, she return
I'd to Italy, where she succeeded in OBJ
tanning a dissolution of her marriage
by the church, on the ground that Will
cox was not a Catholic, and now the
baroness has succeeded in obtaining
legal civil divorce on the ground of
mistaken IDENTITY" the sum and sub
stance of which is that Wilcox, in or
der to marry her, misrepresented his

An Interesting Mexican Village.

Tetxtcingo is the euphonious name of a village of l 1000 inhabitants, in the district of Morelos, state of Morelos, which has preserved the customs and the language of its founders, who settled there in the re- mote past. The inhabitants arc all h. dians of the purest Mexican or Aztec blood. They scorn the idea of intermix- ture or intermarriage with any other race. Their boast Is that they arc pure Mexicans. They all speak the native language. A few understand Spanish, but the great majority do not know one word of it.
 The men wear their hair long and plait ed in tail like Chinaman. They wear short pants. like those used by bathers, made of deerskin or of cotton woven by their women. The shirt, or body dress, is made of cotton cloth, also woven at home. The women dress entirely in home spun material and never comb their hair, which they wear rolled up in ball on the top of the head, and over It they put a jicara made f-om common gourd. They live upon corn and fruits and the flesh of animals and birds trapped in the forests and hills. They consume nothing what ever that is imported, and they support themselves entirely by their native pro- auctions. Governor Alarcon of the state of Morelos told Herald representative that robberies are totally unknown in the village. e.-Mexican Herald.

 Social Equality Rules,

Whenever men are remanded to situa- tion where personal worth has sway, so- cial equality reappears among them. In danger of any kind, in times of great hard ship, in periods of struggle or suspense
 in moments of patriotic emotion, equality again characterizes life, and one man Is as good as another. In new countries, where people live in the need of neighborhood and kindliness, equality is the rule; they laugh at the notion of anything else. That is the reason why equality was so long the ideal of America, for here we were every where emancipated from the old classifca- tions by the necessity which knows no eti- quette. We were forced to simplify our selves The new world, while it was new, had no use for the distinctions and differ ences of an older civility, and the eastern CT, even now, when he goes west finds a whole section ipcredulous of claims which his own sophistication has admitted From Equality as the Basis of Good So- ciety," by W. D. Howells, in Century.

LoNDoN's WATER SUPPLY.

The Great City Gets an Enormous Flood
 of Clear and Filtered Fluid.
 The whole of greater London, covering an area of about 690 square miles, is sup piled by these organizations, whose powers and districts are defined by law. The six Thames companies are allowed to draw a maximum supply of 120, 900, 900 gallons a day. the East London is allowed to take 83, 900, 900 gallons, and the New River 22, 500, 900 gallons Q day from the Lea The rest comes from the chalk wells. There is also, however, a supplementary supply drawn by several companies from the gravel beds by tho side of the Thames, and in times of flood or drought this nat ural supply is very useful.
 The daily total is about 22o, 900, 900 gal Ions, or 40 gallons per head Every drop of the water is carefully purified, with the exception of that from tho wells. For this purpose the companies have IA filter beds, covering 117H acres. Every com pany except the Kent, has storage reser- voirs, in which water is kept in readiness for emergencies. There are storage reser- voirs for unfiltered water, covering 474H acres and holding 1,SE0, 900, 900 gallons, and 50 filtered water reservoirs, holding 17,000, 900 gallons-that is to say, If every source of supply were cut off. London would have enough water in store for little more than a week.
 The pumping operations represent an enormous expenditure of force. The Southwark company, for instance, pumps 12,000, GOO gallons every day distance of IS miles to Nunhead, with rise of 215 feet, for distribution thence to the other parts of the district. The pipes, too, arc often enormous in size, some of the tun- nels being feet in diameter. As for the length, there arc in all London 5000 miles of water pipes, on which there arc some 27,625 hydrants. It is hard to gain from mere figures an adequate conception of tho extent of London's water supply, but the enormous stream of water flows steadily into tho houses-over S00,000 of them day after day, carefully filtered and puri- fled, and the system contrasts ouriously with the old New River water carts and Chelsea's wooden pipes.
