Of appeals today reAfiirmed the decision
of the lower court at Newport, Ky, il
sentencing AiOnzo Walling to be hanged
as hn accomp!ice of Scott jackson in the
murder Of Pearl Bryan last January.
The points Of law in the decision to.
day are different from those in the other
appeal, and this accounts for the fact
that they were rendered separately. LII
al! points the court ho DIS that the ex-
ceptious Of WalIing's lawyers are not
backed by sufficient legal usage, and
Judge Helms rulings are affirmed. The
final records in the caseE may go to the

that the house was filled with smoke
and flames had already reached the sec.
ond story. He awakened the family
and, hastily gathering some clothes,
they escaped.

The Churches are Gaining.

Comparing the ratio of increase of COM
municants with that of the population of
the country, we find that the advantage is
with the churches. The percentage of in
crease in population for the decade ending
in 1890 was "a. &c. Surprising it to be half
of this for the past five years, we have a
population of 70, 400, 900, which is mani
testify an exaggeration. 1t is hardly pos
sible that, with the decreased immigra-
ton of the first three or four years of the
present decade, the percentage of increase
of the previous decade has been main
tanned; but, conceding that it has, and
that rate is II. 43, we find this is far be-
low that of the churches. Their growth
since 1890 has been at the rate of between
10 and 20 per cent. This corresponds to
the rate of increase which the leading de-
nominations reported for the decade end
ing in 1890. The rate for that period was
AZ per cent, against the 24.S6 per cent.
representing the net increase of the pop
ulation. 1t is clear from this that the
churches are gaining on the population
rapidly and steadily. [Dr. H. X. Carroll,

England's Return to Protection.

For i've hundred years England had a
protective policy. Under that policy she
passed from the most backward country
in Europe to the leading commercial
, country in the world. Under that policy
she gave mankind the factory system,
parliamentary institution, religious free
dom, abolished slavery and established
the highest wages in Europe BY the
economic advantages thus acquired. she
developed superior productive capacity
which enabled her to undersell on even
terms all other manufacturers in the
world.
Having securely obtained this advan-
tage, she sought to increase the prosperity
OF her manufacturing classes 10y captur-
ing foreign markets. To this end, having
no fear of competition in manufactures,
and desiring cheap food in order that her
manufacturers might have lower priced
labor, on June n, 1916, she adopted free
trade, removing all import duties upon
breadstutfs and raw materials, as well as
manufactures.
This was heralded abroad as the stroke
of economic emancipation, and has been
the basis of nearly all economic literature
ever since. Free trade has been proclaim
ed as the true economic policy for all ma
lions. In this country, the economic
| doctrinaires have persistently propagated
the notion that our only hope for perma-
nent prosperity is in initiating the Eng
fish and adopting free trade. Thus far,
we have refused to be converted, but now
and then have wavered to the extent of
making partial experiment, and paying
the penalty in swift disaster.
On the 27th of next June, England will
have had half a centurys experience IN
der this free trade regime; and it is signi-
ficant that at the end of fifty years ex
| pertinent, which has not converted sin
gle country, she is now taking steps to
return as gracefully, but as effectively as
possible, to protective policy. This is
what intelligent protectionists have pre-
dicted would necessarily be the final out
come. England S competitive superiority
over continental producers has all along
been due to the superiority of her ma
chinery; and her ability to undersell
American producers has been due to her
lower wages. They have never been able
to understand why England's power to
undersell in the American markets was
the result of an entirely different cause
from her power to undersell continental
producers. From Guntons Magazine, N.
Y, for May.

OF stones, and always built their cities
close by the water caves, as their ruins
show; and it is interesting to note that to
this day all the civilized centers of Yucca
tan have risen around these natural reser-
voirs.
There are many forms of cenotes. When
the water flows at slight depth and the
calcareous layer has been only partially
eaten away, there follows an irregular
sinking which forms cave. opening from
side to side; but when the crust is thicker
and the underground stream has regu-
lar course, the soil is generally corroded
in circular space and the vault thus
formed, lacking support, falls in, making
an immense open we'll. Often the crust
is so deep that the soft parts only crumble
down, leaving small aperature toward
the top, fashioning real grotto with
stalactites and stalag mites galore. Again
| it happens that the crust is exceedingly
| thick, when colossal subterranean pas
sage, like tunnel, is formed in short. all
the variations which an undisturbed
stream may produce in friable soil by
the silent work of ages, may be here
| witnessed. The cenote of which write
is natural cavern nearly so feet deep,
broken down at one side, thus forming a
gigantic arch. Within it appears every
form of stalagmite and stalactite. and its
roof is perforated with holes in which are
thousands of birds and hornets nests. At
the bottom of it, reached by a flight of
stone steps from the charming garden
above, is an extensive sheet of clear, fresh
water, containing a multitude of tiny
tlsh, (pescado cenote) similar to those
found in the Mammoth Cave Of Kentucky
only these are not eyeless. The over
hanging roots of trees fringe its broken
| arch, affording shelter to innumerable
lizards and igunas, which dart along the
| ledge like embodied sunbeams; while
above them countless swallows circle in
masses so dense that the whirling of their
wings produces deafening noise, echoed

There is no village in Yucatan so poor
that it has not its noria, Or well leading to
the underground cenote. The usual
method of drawing is by an endless rope
passing over wheel and carrying small
buckets. These bring up the water from
below, and as they turn over the wheel,
their contents are emptied into an adobe
trough. The system, which is perfect
enough in its way, is almost an exact
copy of that used in Egypt centuries be-
fore Yucatan was heard of-another argu-
ment, perhaps, in favor of the theory of
Atlantis. Now a. days the rude machine
is propelled by mule, driven 10y nude
small boy; or sometimes it is COW OF an
OK, but always the poorest animal to be
found in the place, fit for no other kind
OF work. FANNIE E. WARD.
