striving of generous hearts and enlight-
ened minds for equality. Although
equality has never ceased to show it.

emit orders, and in modern times to
characterize at least specifically that
large composite order which we call
good society. civilization is still en-

One need not allege instances; they are

observation; and those who dread or
effect to dread the dead level Of equal.
ity are quite right in saying that even
in political democracy there is as
much inequality as anywhere. But
this does not prove that they are right
in admiring it. that it is not offensive
and stupid. Inequality still persists,
but SO does theft, SO does murder. so
does chastity. 80 do almost all the sins
and shames that ever were. Inequality
is, in fact. the sum of them; in the body
of this death they tester and corrupt

we shall have these sins and shames,
which spring from it, and which live
on from inferior to superior. Few vices
live from equal to equal; but the virtues

A California Ranchero's Awful FAN of
Nearly n thousand Feet.
Santa Rosa special to San Francisco
Examiner says: Word reached here
to-day from the Geysers of the acct
dental death of Daniel Harrington,
who. while returning to his home from
Cloverdale in an intoxicated condition,
tumbled from his wagon seat over what
Is known as the Devils Slide" and
was precipitated $50 feet on the sharp
rocks below in the falls of Big Sulphur
Creek. Harrington lived with nu-
merous family mile or SO from the
Geysers on the Calistoga road. He had
| made trip to Cloverdale, and On re-
turning in the evening he stopped at
the Geysers. He left there in drunken
condition, and an hour or SO later his
| horses and wagon arrived at his house
| dr;verless. Friday morning early his
children arrived at the Geysers in quest
of their father, and A. II. Hill, proprie-
tor of the hotel, accompanied the chit
dren back ON their way home keeping
a sharp watch of the bottom Of the
abyss alongside of which they were
travelling. When they arrived at an
extremely narrow bit of road nearly
a thousand feet below was discernet
the body of Harrington. A rock pro
jecting up in the wagon track told the
tale. and in all probability gave the
wagon the Jolt that sent Harrington
to his death. The body was mashed
beyond recognition, and death mus
have been instantaneous. Harrington
was an old-time settler, having LIVED
in Scnoma county for nearly forty
years.

force on the Congo, and in his paper
he gave a description of the cannibal
district and startling account OF their
customs.
After Capt Hinde mad concluded. MT.
ElwOrthy took up the discussion on pc
half of the cannibal, claiming that his
appetite was not altogether reprehensi-
BILE and that it should be in measure
considered with some leniency because
1T had been the origin of the most
solemn of all Christian rites, the Sacra-
ment. He argued that the idea under
lying cannibalism was to be found IN a
primeval belief of mankind which sup
posed that the person consuming an
other acquired in that way many of the
desirable qualities that had distih-
guished the victim.
He cited the well-known belief on the
part of certain savage tribes that IN
eating the heart of particularly val
liant enemy they introduced into their
own nature the courage they had been
compelled to admire in the man that
was dead.
| Capt. Hinde said that cannibalisni
prevailed almost universally through
out the Congo basin, and that instead
/ of decreasing, it is growing steadily
| and large trade is carried on among
the various tribes in selling and ex-
changing slaves intended to be eaten
He stated, also, the heretofore unpub-
lished fact that women were seldom
eaten, the savages, either from an In
nate sense of gallantry or from some
popularity of the palate, prefer males
as diet, and Furthermore that vic
tim intended for feast is never dis
roasted entire, the fayorite joints ant
portions being sliced off after the sub
ject is done to a turn.
The only exception is that the heat
is cut off, kept for several days, ant
then made into a stew. The brain il
considered the greatest delicacy, ant
generally goes to the chief. The mea
of human flesh tastes not unlike veal
The skin is never eaten, because whel
baked it becomes somewhat leather
and tough. That human beings ar
eaten for any religious or superstition
reason, Capt. Hinde denied, and said
was done purely for food.
Cannibals do not eat the flesh q
members of their immediate family
Capt. Einde told of a man who, havin
been killed, his two sons handed tn
body over to a circle of friends who at
it for them.
The most horrible of all the fact
given by Capt. Hinde was his descriI
ton of the manner in which cannibal
prepare victims for eating. 1t has bee
said that some Of these people keep
stock of prisoners on hand, fattenin
: them until suitable for killing. Cap
