The Rev. Glen McWilliams preached
a sermon on prize fighting at the
opera house last night to a fair-sized
audience. He was strong in his de-
nunciation OF the "manly art of self
defense, = and appealed to the fathers
and mothers to suppress it in Pine
Bluff. He was severe in his denun-
citation of the city council for lieens-
ing such performances, and said that
no tax, however great, could justify
it. He urged its total prohibition in
Pine Bluff. During the course of his
sermon he also made some startling
and sensational statements.

Ouecr Human Bcings.

An island in the gulf CT California is
inhabited by queer human beings. The
Ceris, without doubt, are one Of the
most interesting tribes of aborigines to
be found OH 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 Of
the peninsula. In former days they
made excursions upon the mainland,
spreading havoc along the coast but in
later years they have kept closely to
their island home. They are extremely
fierce and varlike and use venomed ar
rows IN fighting. The island is known
to be very mountainous, with innumer-
able rugecd cany o:.s and gorges, where
the Indians ambush and which renders
subduing them almost an impossibility.
Beyond the fact of the existence Of the
Ceris tribe very little is known. Their
habits and language are said to be Pc
culiar to themselves, while their origin
is subject of conjecture. The island
shows no sign of vegetation from the
gulf, and their method of gaining sub
sistenoe is unknown. Shippers cruising
in those waters carefully avoid this Is
land peopled with blue eyed savages,
and Its rugged outlines, which loom up
in the gulf, are shrouded in mystery

A Leonard Hunt In Africa.

Started oat hunting at 5 o'clock ;
came upon small herd of mswala; fol-
lowed them carefully, but could not get
near enough to have shot. After an
hour found that was not alone in
being interested i'll the mswala. A Loop
ardess had stepped in between me and
the game. When I first saw her, she was
crouched like cat. Then she moved
stealthily into some thick bushes and
crept rapidly toward the buck. For
about a quarter of mile l moved
stealthily and quickly toward the game.
l was then within short distance of
them and could family hear the crea-
lures in among q clump of trees.
was thinking how best to stalk and
get shot when the leopardess again
appeared about eight yards from me and
close to the mswala. She had cleverly
crept to windward and was now almost
within striking distance. She crouched
and moved her head slowly from side
to side in order more clearly to see her
game To get "a better view she slowly
raised her head and sat on her launches.
Then she took still better view by put
ting her front paws on log, which
raised her two or three inches higher.
Then she showed her head and shout
ders above the grass, and I succeeded in
putting a snider bullet through her.
She was six feet in length. 1t is q very
rare thing to see leopard at oil and
most unusual to see one i'll the day
time. The natives were delighted. I
find the killing of the leopard raises
me to heroic plane, while, as mat
ter of fact, the mere killing of the beast
was as easy as the shooting of retriev-
er dog.-Diary Of the Late e. j. Glave

Independent Order Of
Reehabiges
In NORTH AMERICA.
THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
a Refuge From the Tempta-
tions of Strong Drink.

NHE more important object of this
Il Association is Mutual Benefit in
the exercises of Temperance, Forti.
tude and Justice, securing to its
membership sympathy and relief in
times of sickness and distress; and in
the event of death, the decent OBJ.
servance of the necessary funeral
obsequies; and is based upon and
seeks, the extension of the principles
of Total Abstinence from all intoxi-
eating drinks.
The Order has three subordinate
branches, viz:
Primary Tents, composed of white
male persons between the ages of 16
and IS years of age, who believe in
the existence and omnipotence of
God and are willing to sign our pledge
of total abstinence, are eligible to
membership.
Persons over age may become hon
orary members.
Female Tents, composed of white
females ~ years of age and upwards,
a Junior Branch of Boys from 10 to
16 years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of 5 and 16 years.
Each branch has a service especially
adapted. 1t has been found that by
working in separate branches OF the
organization, there is more freedom
Of action than when all ages and
sexes are thrown together. Each
branch of the Order is represented in
the higher body, and fostering care
is exercised over all alike. Thus with
the men and women, girls and boys
all united under one head the l. o.
of R. is as an irresistible army NOV
ing on to victory.
The Order has. and will continue
to prove blessing to our country,
not only in proving an asylum for the
reformed drunkard, but by inducing
the sober and religious part of the
community to unite in securing the
rising generation from the evils of
intemperance, and ultimately hand
down to generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sobrietY.
