the important towns Of Schuylkill county
including Shenandoah. At Lofty connection

capitalists, and which will run through to
Wilkesbarre.
The central office of the company will prob

the best and the rates will be far below those
charged by the present company, and con-
sequently the new line will be brought into

The fifth lecture on the Aztecs was de-
livered by Professor Starr last night at
Plymouth Church. His general subject was
their government and society. This topic
was divided into three subheads-land ten
ure, government of society and war or
ganization. Professor Starr undertook to
prove that the Aztecs had no such civiliza-
ton as they have been credited with. He
denied that they had empire an en-
peror, or that Il feudal system existed. His
lecture was directed at the proof of these
assertions.
Their land was held by tribes each gems
or cluster of related people, having its own
area and fields allotted for cultivation
Land was then allotted to individuals. and
so long as a man used his land his right to
use il was unquestioned. but If ii were
neglected for two years it reverted to the
gems. to be allotted to some other member
There was no such thing as individual own
ership of land, Professor Starr asserted
and without individual ownership there
could be no feudalism.
The government was pure democracy of
the military kind. The Aztecs were con-
trolled by a tribal council. which was
an elective representative body. When
CorteZ entered Mexico the Aztecs We're a
This confederacy was controlled by a coun-
ell elected from the three tribes and pat
termed after the tribal councils. Monte
yuma was then the head war chief of the
confederacy. There was no approach to
an empire and Montezama not an en-
peror.
The Aztecs lived only for war and gain
The boys were trained for from the
bers of the same gems fought side by side

in the army except that gained by per-
sonal bravery and prOwess.
The last lecture of the series will be de-
livered next Saturday night, and will treat
