We cannot help regarding with~ some
severity the outrageous fake foisted up
IN the public of this city by the EVEN

TRADE Of Ben Tillman upon the floor
of the Senate.
There was no excuse, or color, or foun-
dalton for the yarn. Mr.. Morgan never
left New York. He did not visit Jersey
City. Neither did any other party of
New York bankers No person left on
the fast Washington express that day,
or any other day. to meet the President
at Quantico. What is more. no person
at the Pennsylvania station thought any
such thing was the case. On the con-
trary. when the rumor was investigated
by the New York newspaper reporters
on Wednesday evening and by the re-
porters of The News yesterday, every
one about the station emphatically denied
having given any information or hin
on which the story could be built.
Everyone denounced it, indeed, as a
vicious lie, made out of whole cloth to
raise a new howl against the President
and the late Bond Syndicate and to inn
pede the present operation in which the
Treasury is engaged. That the lie would
have succeeded is not open to doubt,
but for the fact that Mr.. Morgan hap
pened to be found at his home by the
New York reporters Wednesday night.
Had he CHANGED to be out of town. in
deed, if he had happened to go to the
opera, no doubt the story would have
been rehashed in the morning papers
with every variety of malignant adorn-
ment,
Comment is unnecessary on this jour-
nalistic exploit. Exposure is enough to
bring upon it the severest condemnation
of the public.
THOSE of us who have been expanding
a great deal of sympathy upon the
our tune as we learn more about them.
The account of the mobbing of Mr.. John
Hays Hammond, the American prisoner
who claims to be free from all COM
plicity in the Jameson raid, or it's al
legged a~ntecedent conspiracy. is not cal
culated to increase sur regard for these
sturdy exponents of freedom" Ap-
parently their ill-usage of their cap
tives was not unlike that of South
American semi-civilized republicans. It
is cheerful to learn, too, that while
the prisoners are not likely to be killed,
they will probably nave all their prop
erty confscated, while they are liable
to almost ANY sort of physical punish
ment."

A lawyer, who has an Office in the New
York Life building, was at a party the 9TH
err night where the. principal advertisement
was tricks, one of which recalls to the
lawyers mind one he used to do when he
was a schoolboy back In Maine. He called
for a whisk broom. and then, laying a
nickel in the center Of his open palm, of
fered it to anyone in the party who woul
sweep it off with the broom. One of the
&C nditions was that the broom must be
held straight up and the coin swept with
the ends of the broom straws.
20. 1 can do that" said a young woman,
and she took the broom and began to
sweep at the coin. The. harder she swept
the tighter the coin stuck to the open palm
of the lawyers hand. One after another
each person at the party tried to sweep
off the coin, and it was an astonishing
thing that the broom would not bulge 1t.
Since then the trick has spread. The re-
cent visit of has caused a revival
of interest i'm parlor magic, and at nearly
every party some one shows the whisk
broom and nickel trick. and 1t causes no
end of wonder and amusement. Any kind
of small coin and any kind OF whisk

The Ceris, without doubt, are one Of the
most interesting tribes OF aborigines to be
found on this hemisphere. They are said
to have fair skins and blue eyes, and bear
no resemblance whatever to the Indian
tribes of the mainland or. the peninsula.
IN former days they made incursions upon
the mainland, spreading havoc along the
coast. but in later years they have kept
closely to their island home. They are ex-
tremely fierce and warlike, and
use venomed arrows IN fighting. The
island is known TO be very noun
famous. with innumerable rugged
canyons and gorges. where the Indians
ambush, and which renders subduing them
an impossibility. Beyond the fact of the
existence Of the Ceris tribe very little Is
known. Their habits and language are said
to be peculiar TO themselves, while their
origin is a subject of conjecture. The island
shows no sign of vegetation from the gulf.
and their method of gaining a subsistence
is unknown. Skippers cruising in those

MAY GET MILlTEAMEN.
A Number of Kansas Companies
To Be Brought Here
At the Expense of the City Of
Topeka.
Completing Arrangements for thu
Laying Out of Camp Miles at
the Fair Ground

At the request of Major Anderson a
special meeting of the Committee Of
Fifteen will be held at the council
chamber this evening to talk over the
militia matter.
Since the committee cannot get the
state militia encampment in any other
way it proposes if possible to buy it.
A provision is made in the militia
statute for a contingency fund for ac-
tual service. State Auditor Cole says
that camping week and doing Moth
ing is not actual service and he will not
audit the expense bills of the militia
on that ground.
In consequence of this the militia
will not have an encampment this year.
Major Anderson proposes, however,
in order to have a representation of
the state militia here that the Commit
tee of Fifteen pay the expenses of sew
eral companies of the young men and
have them here anyway. This will not
be such an expensive proceeding as
it at first looks for but a few of the
nearer companies will be invited.
There are companies at Manhattan,
Lawrence, Emporia and Holton at
least that will undoubtedly be glad to
come this way and they will make a
very respectable showing. They are OF
course all uniformed and thoroughly
equipped.
The committee will take another look
at its funds and appropriations tonight
and see if it can afford it. There are
still several hundred dollars that have
not been appropriated on the list and
a good many members of the commit
tee feel that it could not be used to a
better advantage.
1t will be discussed at length to-
night.
