A KANSAS CORN CARNIVAL.

Thousands of people thronged the
streets of Atchison, Kan, on the 23rd
inst, the whole city being bright with
bunting and alive with music. The oc-
aston was the annual corn carnival.
This corn carnival is to Atchison wnaL
The flower carnival is to Colorado
Springs. The prevailing decoration of
the Atchison affair is corn, as the name
indicates, and people who have never
attended one of these carnivals can
scarcely conceive the many handsome
aud attractive articles which can be
made of corn in its different stages OF
development. In the big parsdes were
many floats in which corn was used al
most exclusively 10 decorating. One
of the floats, "The Fountain of Plenty"
threw up continual stream OF shelled
corn.
In the evening people went upon the
crowded thoroughfares, hundreds in
masks, with their pockets filled with
shelled corn, which they tossed into
ach others faces in passing. This
vas kept up until the pavements were
covered with corn, which the continual!
tread of thousands of people ground
into meal. This custom has, in former
years, been pronounced waste, but
he day following corn carnival wit
uesses hundreds of colored people
sweeping up the corn and Carrying it
away to be used as chicken feed.
Hundreds of corn costumes were
worn on the streets during the day.
Pretty girls in capes and bonnets of
corn shucks. neatly designed, were
everywhere to be seen. Some of the
corn hats are very pretty. Mrs. q. ].
Cusack, former Atchison milliner,
made one which attracted such general
.dmiration that it was expressed to
Mrs. William Mckinley, wife of the
President.

MINISTER'S on LYNCHING.
Savannah Association Not Likely to
Act-Dr. schaefer's Opinion.


The Ministers Association of Savannah
IS not likely, in view Of the many recent
cases, to take any action on lynching. The
matter has not been under discussion and
its consideration by the association is not
regarded as probable
There will be no meeting of the minis
ters until October, the monthly meetings
having been discontinued on account Of
the absence from the city of several of
the pastors. The next meeting may bring
a discussion Of the question and some re-
sulting resolution, but this is considered
unlikely. Savannah is too remote from
the section in which the lynchlngs have
occurred to be so deeply interested as
other places where the ministers have
adopted resolutions pertaining to the vio-
lations of the legal process of punishment.
Savannah ministers deplore the exist
ence of the readiness apparent to adopt
summary means of meeting out the pen
atty for the crime that usually impels the
lynchings. They consider the violation
of the lawful course such cases should
take as Injurious to the morals of the
right of every man to trial by jury with
all evidence adduced.
Rev w. c. Schaeffer, president of the
ministers associa ton, says there Is moth
ing that can be said in defense of lynch
ing. 1t Is practice Of late, but the prev
alence of which he regards as dangerous
in many ways to the moral character of
the communities in which the lynchings
are perpetrated. DR.. Schaeffer
fully realizes the intensity of
the human feeling that stirs
the excited lynchers and induces them to
take the law into their own hands.
The emotion of love for those he holds
dear Is sufficient, DR.. Schaeffer thinks,
to drive the man, who sees those dear
ones become victims to the incestuous vio-
lence Of brutes, to seek a speedy and ter
rible revenge for the wrong that has been
wrought him and his.
The law and the many qubbles and
turns" said DR.. Schaeffer, that keep
prisoner from trial are in a large measure
responsible for lynchings. The profession
Of the law is a noble one, and for 1t en-
tertain the highest regard but Ii loses
much of its dignity when the many wiles
and technicalities that keep a brute from
the punishment he so richly deserves are
practiced by his attorneys. The delay
OF justice serves to increase
the chances of the accused
70 escape the payment of the pen
atty OF his crime. As forgetfulness of it's
enormity comes with the lapse of time
people begin to show less interest in the
outcome Of the case, and it is not unlike
ly that the punishment, which should have
been death, becomes Imprisonment"
DR.. Schaeffer believes that legislation
which would insure legally speedy jus
tice in those cases in which lynchings re-
suit would prove the surest means of put
ting a stop to lynch law.
