Scar-Face Charley, the leading villain
of the Modoc massacre in April. 1878, when
Gen. Candy and DIR. Thomas were killed
and two other commissioners to the Modoc
conference were wounded, died few days

Territory. The four commissioners had
met Captain Jack and other Modocs in

Charley, as he was known then, near the
lava beds in Oregon. The meeting was
under truce, and the white men were to-
tally unsuspecting. In the midst of the
conference Charley became exasperated
and fired a shot, and in a second all of the
Indians were shooting, Gen. Candy will
be remembered in the south as one of the
federal officers sent into South Carolina
by the radicals to keep the carpet-baggers
and scalawags in office at the point of the
bayonet. s-

The arrival of ex-Queen Liliuokalani in
this country will be nuts for the humor-
lists. But. really. there is nothing humor-
Gus about the woman, unless it is funny
to have all of ones rank and prosperity
and prospects swept away and confiscated
by people who once received the protec-
ton due to guests. The black woman
from the Sandwich Islands is as much a
royal parsonage as her majesty of Eng
land. Furthermore she is said to be
highly educated, speaking three or four
languages, and to have some artistic and
poetic talent She has composed a num-
Der of musical scores of much merit, and
performs on several instruments. She
very naturally feels that a great wrong
has been done her, and is justified in do
ing whatever she legally can to have that
wrong made right 1t does not follow
however, that this government should
right her wrongs for her.

Cubans Buying Old Whaieboats.

Whaleboats have taken a sudden rise
in price on account of the mysterious
demand for them along shore. Boats
which were thought good for nothing
but kindling wood command a large
price, and in fact at present are unob-
tainable. These old and about worn
out craft, which formerly brought any
where from one to five dollars, are now
bringing from twenty five to thirty dol
lars.
A rather strange and foreign appear
ing person turned up along shore Tues
day inquiring about these craft and
purchasing heavily. He succeeded in
creating a corner in whaleboats, and
now there are very few to be had at
any price. He is undoubtedly an agent
of the Cuban insurgents. The boats
that We're purchased here will be
shipped to New York on the propeller
City of Fitchburg. A number have al
ready been shipped. 1t is said that
these craft will be used in landing arms
and ammunition from the filibusters as
they near the Cuban coast. They will
probably load these boats with their
cargo and row quickly ashore, take
their goods from them, and leave the
boats to rot on the beach or to be
proudly captured by the Spanish SOL
diers.
A report has gone forth that these
boats were taken to the New York boat
at night, but such is not the case. The
Journal man witnessed the landing of
some of these boats in the afternoon at
the propeller dock. The mysterious
purchaser of these boats has been to
Provincetown, Edgartown, Boston and,
in fact, all along the eastern New Eng
land coast buying whaleboats, yawl
boats, and any kind of open boat which
can be pressed into the required service
of the Cuban cause. Newboats are not
wanted. AS these craft are only used
once, old ones can be patched up and
made sufficiently seaworthy to do the
work intended

ing willingness to die, as he himself
had taken a mans life, He warned
people to profit from his experience,
and to let his case be an object lesson
to them. He said he was not afraid TO
die, and wanted all his friends to meet
him in the happy hunting grounds.
His wife was present but did not take
any interest in the case, nor did she
grieve over his loss, although more
solemn crowd of people never gathered
around a dead hero than did his people
around him, and many wet eyes could
be seen in the congregation. At noon
he was taken over to Deputy Sheriff
Bob Jackson's house, where he ate a
hearty dinner. He was then put back
in jail for a short time. He was again
taken to the court house, where reli-
gious services were resumed.
At 35 o'clock Sheriff Canady Law
renee, a cousin of Homes, read the
death warrant to Homes. Then Law
renee made a long speech, telling him
and the people that 1t was not he but
the law that was going to do the shoot
ing, and if he had killed the ChoctaW
lawfully he would not have to be killed
but as it was done through his mean
ness he must die. He asked the people
to take warning from Homes and never
be guilty of the like.
At 1853 o'clock he was taken from the
court house, and placed in front of the
court house door on a box just five
PAGES from the building. He was
blindfolded, and two deputy sheriffs on

while Deputy Sheriff Bob Jackson
stood just inside the door with a forty
four calibre Winchester rifle and fired
at the mark on his breast, just over his
heart, but missed it. shooting about
two inches below the spot. The ball
passed directly through the body, and
came out in the back. Homes, at the
fire of the gun, sprang back, uttered a
few groans and was laid down on a
quilt to die. The blood spurted out
four or five feet in large stream. A
deputy struck the hole full of rags and
stopped the flow of blood. Homes new
er uttered word, but that he suffered
great agony there is no doubt, as
streams of sweat came from his face
while he was dying. DR. Baird exam
ined him and In ten minutes pro-
nounced life extinct. He was taken in
to the court house washed, dressed and
placed in his coffin, on which he had

The crime for which Homes paid the
death penalty was the murder of
Charles Kioutubby. a full FLOODED
ChOctaw and a step SON in-laW of
Homes. He went to Kioutubby's
house and, while he was asleep,
chopped his head open with an axe.
He then told Kioutubbys wife that II
she did not live with him he would kill
her. AT the first chance, however, she
| made her escape, and caused his arrest.
In February he was indicted and con-
victed He then appealed, but the APP
peal was dismissed and the sentence OF
the lower court ordered carried out.

FASHION NOTES.


The goods that We're unrolled by the

unless she is herself going to graduate
or unless she has some one in the fam

well give up and stop trying to be hap
py, for the one way to be happy after
seeing graduation stuffs is to wear 1t or
have some of it in the family. Gauze,

.aN rNrrREsrrNG HINT.

1t is related that when ex-Congress-
man Tom l.. Johnson, of Ohio became
interested in Henry Georges new gos-
pei of the single tax he did not have
time to investigate it for himself, for
he ia an exceedingly busy man. SO he
employed lawyer in whose honesty,
acumen and learning he had confidence,
to explore the subject. The lawyer, at
ter diligent research and profound men
tai wrestling, duly informed his client
that the single tax was right and Just.
From that day to this Tom has been
one of the most enthusiastic apostles of
Henry George,
This tale furnishes an interesting
hint to people who want opinions and
haven't the time or ability to have
them. OF course we mean opinions
that are worth something. Nobody is
so busy or so poor that he cannot have
opinions. and many people feel
thoroughly satisfied with their own
opinions on any subject, however trivial
basis those opinions may have. But
there are people who know that their
opinions concerning matters that they
don't know anything about are not GER
tain to be sound or valuable. Such peo-
pie pay lawyers, doctors or ministers
for opinions. Why could they not prof
itably initiate Mr.. Johnson and buy
opinions concerning many matters Of
private or public interest and import
ance. There are many experts in various
lines of thought who are we'll qualified
to furnish opinions and who would be
glad of an opportunity to turn an
honest penny by doing so. 1t is posi-
BILE, not to say probable, that if buy
ing opinions from people qualified to
sell them should become prevalent the
general quality of opinion would be
much improved. OF course there are
several sides to any question, and there
would therefore be room for a choice of
opinions on any question. Therefore
there need be no more monotony than
there is now. And there might be much
less foolish talk. For if one could buy
opinions ready made he wouldn't have
to spend his time and energy in trying
to show other people how he thought
them out.
AS business is business we suppose
that if the buying and selling of opin-
ions should become established there
would be an opinion" department in
the big stores which furnish every
thing that anybody needs in the jour-
ney from the cradle to the grave.
Then there would be bargain days
when the shrewd buyer could perhaps
get opinions to suit him for 20, 50 or
9S cents.

At an early hour Homes was brought

The George Junior Republic" is to
begin operations again about July 1st,
and if it prospers as it did last year
very interesting experiment will have
the success which it appears to merit
The George Junior Republic was plan
ned and organized by Mr.. William R.
George, Mr.. George has a farm near
Freeville, few miles from ithaca, New
York. In 1890 he began taking poor
children from the slums Of New York
into the country for brief outing. His
experience with them on such occasions
convinced him that these outings might
become educational as well as recrea-
tive, and he conceived the scheme of
establishing juvenile and temporary
republic of which his boys and girls
should be the citizens and masters. Ac-
cordingly last summer he chose a col
ony of about two hundred children from
them to the farm near Freeville. There
he Immediately instituted his expert
ment.
For a period Of about two months a
genuine republic was carried on by this
little community. Mr.. George himself
was the president with an absolute veto
power which, however. was rarely used.
There were three departments of gov
ernment, executive. legislative and jul
dicial. The legislative consisted of a
| senate and house of representatives.
| The laws enacted by this congress were
| The republic had it's system of curren-
| cy. There was a police system which
| made genuine arrests and inflicted gen.
uine penalties. Labor was honored and
rewarded and idleness punished. The
boys worked at farming, landscape gar
| dening or carpentry. The occupations
| of the girls were cooking, millinery or
serving The industrious, frugal and
| enterprising citizen of this Lilliputian
| republic secured tine usual rewards Oh
| such qualities. The lazy and thriftless
suffered the usual consequences. Start
| ing alike, with equal privileges, oppor-
| tunities and capital, only a few days
were necessary to separate them into
prosperous and unprosperous classes.
But, through the wise administration
of affairs, some of those who seemed in
corrigible at first braced up and became
successful citizens. One boy who was
VIGOROUSLY indolent and obstreperous,
who had been jailed for his misbehav
| ior, said to the president: 1T can't af-
| ford to be bad: it costs too much. If
worked outside as hard as l had to
work in prison I'd have the best money
of the republic, and I could eat at the
Waldorf--the community's best table
Now I'm going to the top" And he did.
Before the season closed he became
speaker of the house of representatives
There were some two hundred bills in
PRODUCED in the legislature, and of these
nearly sixty became laws.
| This truly philanthropic scheme
seems calculated to confer great bene-
fits on those who come under its influ-
ence.
