Two weeks since our readers will
remember that we briefly corrected
three misstatements of a local news
writer in regard to the candidates
for Town Clerk and Treasurer of
Morristown, he having attempted to
put up fence and make it appear
that tue Republican Club stood in
bunch here, the Grand Army were
corralled over there, and the farmers
were all in a heap by themselves out
You'd, +, each group backing" a
chosen candidate. In this connection
the same alleged news-gatherer writes
further to this Effect
The Reed Mckinley club held well attend
ed meeting at Hon. p. K. Gleed's office last
Monday evening. The local scribe of the
News and Citizen, in connection with some
town clerk talk to fill space, says they are
only organic d for the purpose of education,
and are perfectly willing the "olI lfounders"
should pick ali he persimmons. Being secre-
tary for the club he ought TO know.
To correct~a very broad misrepre-
sentation Of facts and to have the peo-
pie know the truth, and by the way
it is very desirable to state the truth
in cold type, and be accurate and
comprehensive in newspaper state
ments, even if it should 'fiIl space"
we stated among the rest, some of
the principles of the Young Mems
Republican Club, which we believe
has an honest purpose, an education
al work, "A patriotic principle above
and hey ond petty political plot
ting or boosting. Nowhere in our
statement can there be found a word
to warrant this "old rounder" and
"persimmons" chatter in this item
quoted. The Reed-McKinley Club, in
common with all other similar Dr.
carnations In the State, which
gathered with such splendid success
ia Montpelier last week, draws no
line in its membership. 1t has faith
in the young men of Morristown and
OF the State, but also an abiding faith
il those who havepassed through the
experience and met the honors, vie
tories and defeats of staunch Re-
pubicanism. Believing in the wis
dom OF being met and meeting on a
common level our elder brothers in
the faith, the Young Republicans of
Morristown and of Vermont look for
but a reasonable recognition 10 such
honors as they may be deserving.
The oft used expression "oldrounder"
should be cast out and in fact is be-
log cast out as an evil spirit, while
the work OF education goes on. For
some time the Young Republicans of
Vermont have been telling each other
why they are organized, now the
days of talk end and work begins.

The Beedles Are Coming.

On Saturday even ng OF next week,
Bfedles famous orchestra and ag-
gregation OF musical talent appears
at town hall. This is what the Win
chpndon, (Nass)., Courier says of the
company: -
"At the seventh annual concert
and ball of Naukeag Council, the ca
pacity of he hall was taxed when the
first overture by Beedles Orchestra
was given. The audience were close
ly attentive, enjoying to the utmost
the bewitching strains from the in
struments of the talented musicians.
The characteristic piece ION the
Plantation" was received with en-
thusiasm, and the lovely "Serpnade
de Noce" by the String Quintette de-
serves more than a passing notice.
The concluding number by the In
perial Band, the popular Kajoka
dance, was bright and lively.

The Houma courier. (Houma, La.) 1878-1939, 1896-07-04

The expedition which will go from
the Lick observatory to observe the
eclipse of the sun in Japan next Au-
gust will carry a novel Photographic
machine to picture the great coronal
streamers that r seen around the sun
when its globe is hidden behind the
moon. The suns corona has been
photographed during previous eclipses,
but as it's light is much stronger near
the than at a greater distance, the
photographs have invariably been over
exposed for the brighter part of the
phenomenon when so timed as to catch
the image of the fainter parts; and,
conversely, the outer portions of the
streaners have been lost in the photo
graphs when the exposure has been
made short enough to give a good image
of the bright inner portion. Mr.. Burck-
halter, Of the Chabot observatory, Oak
land, who will accompany the expcdi-
ton referred to, thinks he has contrived
a machine that will equalize the ex-
posture for all parts of the corona, and
thus enable him to get a perfect photo
graph of the wonderful display around
the sun during the eclipse. The prin-
cipal feature of his invention is rotat-
ing diaphragm, driven by clockworL
and provided with a peculiarly-shaped
hole for the passage of the light where
by the faint outer part of the corona
will get a much longer exposure than
The brilliant inner part.-Youth's Com

unitcrate and Wretched, Her Lot Is Very

If there be any truth in the statement
that the civilization of a country is to
be measured by the status of its wom-
Ell the Spanish kingdom is on the verge
of barbarism. Educationally it is be.
low Turkey, China, Japan and ever
Siam. Seventy-two per cent. of its
adults are illiterate. AS between the
sexes the figures are go per cent. for
men and "a for women "A large ladies'
library" in Madrid usually consists Of
so or 10 trashy p~aper-covered novels.
Ii a woman--or man, for that instance
requires a higher education they
must go abroad. Very Few go. The
social conditions make women worse
than dolls. A little girl is seldom al
lowed to play in the open air. From
the age of eight until at least so she
never goes alone in the street nor is al
lowed to speak to or approach a mar ex-
cept in the presence of a duenna.
Usually she is married off by her par

the husband replacing the father or the
guardian. She is raised in ecclesiastical
darkness. She believes it is her duty to
accept her lot as the will of Heaven, no
matter how horrible it may be. Divorce
from a husband who has murdered her
only child would be a mortal sin. Under
such circumstances most women in
that land grow up mere children in in
telligence and knowledge. At 80 few
of them know as much as American
girls of ten. For those who are dis
contented with their lot the convent
doors are always open. The number of
nuns and monks is enormous. AS a
class they are consumers and not pro-
ducers, and are therefore a grievous
burden on the community. Woman's
wages are insignificant, aRd the fields
in which she can labor may be counted
IN the fingers of one hand. The univer-
sal ~illiteracy is appropriately accompa-
MED by a poverty and a low moral
standard. The industrial classes are in
despair and are continually immigrat-
ing to other Latin lands. The best
types of Spanish womanhood are to be
found in the South American republics.

value q 4 slava

When the slave trade was in full
swing, it was q common thing for mer.
chants on the west coast Of Africa To
purchase a cargo Of rum and tobacco.
and give slaves in exchange. The price
of a prime slave when Mungo Park was
among the Mandingoes was from nine
to twelve minikallies, the equivalent Of
minikalli being something like the
following: Eighteen gun-fints, As
leaves of tobacco, 20 charges Of gun
powder and a cutlass. DIR. Living
stone, than whom no explorer did more
to expose the rayages Of the slave-raid-
er, says he never knew Of an African
parent selling his own offspring. When
OF his first great missionary journey
he relates how, in q foray among the
Makololo, 80 captiyes were given in ex-
change for three English muskets.
Livingstone is especially severe on the
Beers for footing his mission station
in 1882, killing many of the Bakwains,
and driving nearly 200 Of his mission
children into slavery. The Beers, BY
SO retarding his work, and making him
uncomfortable at Kolobeng, helped to
decide him to move northward, q de-
cision upon which hung the future OF

Savage Chief Making Serious Trouble for
the Dutch.

= the Dutch.
Atjeh, the scene of the rebellion, is
o strip of territory on the northeast
coast of Sumatra. The points occu-
pied by the Dutch are the haTbor of
Oleh-leh and the garrison town of Kota-
raja, which are connected by a railway
several kilometers long.
The natives Of this district, the
Achinese, are the most savage and RAJ
p~acious of all the inhabitants Of the
Dutch colonies. At one time they ruled
supreme throughout Sumatra, and even
to-day they are the ~implacable antago-
nists of the Dutch, while the remaining
more or less peaceful tribes periodical
~ transfer their allegiance from one
to the other Of the two rivals.
The instigator of the present rising.
Toekoe Djohan, or Umar as he is some
times called, has on more than one oc-
casion voluntarily surrendered to the
Dutch, who, IN spite of the horrible
m~assacres and craftily planned Il
ders of ships companies Of which he
was practically guilty, acknowledged
his 'princely dignity and looked upon
ILL dS q WCACOAC UlSL1AUAC4kE " HSeASb
in quelling the revolts of other tribes,
for which they paid him a substantial
yearly salary.
Toekoe Djohanis tall, slim man be-
tween 30 and 40 years Of age. Like the
majority of his followers. he processes
to belong to the Mohammedan faith,
but in reality he has no particular re-
spect for the tenets Of that religion.
He is a courageous and clever leader,
and these qualities, together with rare
cunning and the fact he has had FREE
quent opportunities OF becoming ac-
quainted with the Dutch methods Of
campaigning, render him one Of the
most formidable chieftains of the Achi-
nese.
He is now once more on the warpath,
and for a change he is collecting the diff
ferent tribes with whom he was re-
Gently at feud for the purpose of con-
Quoting hostilities against the whites.
Thus what was the generally foreseen
now proves to be the case-namely,
that it would have been better to have
shot this cold-blooded murderer of
women and children instead Of ac-
lCnowledging his princely dignity. II
Is to be hoped that the Dutch will suc-
coed in capturing this disreputable
ruler, and that they will once for all
ef~fectually put an end to his warlike
Observation-Disclosures Times.

A LEMON CHESS PIE.
Directions for the Making Of a Tooth
some Dessert.

DAE9cBAOMS TOT the making OF q AOO6ma
some Dessert.
This pie is somewhat Of a puzzle to
housekeepers. 1t is composed of eggs,
butter, sugar and lemon juice, so put
together that they form a perfectly
light, consistent paste if the directions
are followed. 1t win not be possible
to expect a successful result unless the
directions r implicitly followed,
though they contradict the ordinary
method Of mixing. Measure out three
rounded tablespoonfuls of butter, five
tablespoonfuls Of sugar, the grated yell
low peel and juice of one lemon and the
yolks of three eggs. Put all these in
gradients in a porcelain-lined saucepan,
hold the saucepan over the stove and
beat the ingredients together continu-
ally for five minutes. Do not let the
saucepan rest on the stove, but tip it all
the time so that every part of the mix
ture may be moved by the beating. Use
al egg whip in beating. Finally, the
mixture will have thickened, remove il
from the fire and add at once the whites
of three eggs beaten to a very stiff
~ GOAp4AuC " DCul III UnG WHITES
with an egg-whip for five minutes. Line
u ten-inch pieplate with rich pastry and
pour in the filing. Bake the pie three
quarters Of an hour in a rather quick
oven. The whites will not separate
from the butter and sugar if the pie is
properly made. Cut the pie as 0 as
it is taken out of the oven. Serve it cold
or hot. If the butter, sugar and yolks
sink to the bottom and the whites rise
TO the top the pie has not been prop
erly mixed. The secret lies in properly
beating the butter, sugar and yolks to-
gether over the fire to form a slightly
thickened mass, which, when mixed
with the whites, becomes a species of
sponge. It is an improvement to most
sponge cakes to be raised with eggs
alone and to heat the yolks of the eggs
and sugar over the fire while beating
them together. The beating must be
stopped a moment or the eggs would
be ruined by curdling.--.N. Y. Tribune.

Phenomenon Of the Tide RID.

A tide rip" phenomenon of the sea
was encountered in the Indian ocean
recently by the ship Francis, which ar
rived at this port the other day. The
tide ran in many directions, apparently
almost at the same time, and the big
ship was whirled around by it like a
top OF took peculiar and erratic sheers
until she became uncomfortable and
could not be kept on her course. It was
feared at times that she would go to
pieces, for the tide seemed to increase
in force. For IA hours the Francis was
at the mercy of this peculiar action OF
the ocean currents, and soon afterward
a cyclone struck and partially dismast-
ed her, a disaster which has been before
reported. - Philadelphia Record.
