Murdered the Mate.

Last week relatives of Captain L. w.
Norton of the bark Justine H. Inger-
soil of New York, who live in Brewer,
received a letter from him in which
he tells of a brutal murder which took
place on a recent trip from the river
La Plata, South America, to Barba-
does, w. 1.
According to the letter the crime
was committed at an early hour in
the morning when but a short dis
lance from Barbados. 1t was just
before the hour at which the watches
were changed and the second mate
and his watch going before. The mate
was called to the side by two of the
seamen in regard to something in con-
nection with a rope which was hanging
over the vessels side.
There were some words and sudden
ly both seamen drew knives and in less
time than it takes to tell it had stabbed
the officer and thrown his body over
board. .,.,
The men We're secured and when
port was reached were turned over to
the custody of the local authorities, by
whom they were tried and sentenced to
five years each in prison.
Captain Norton fails in his letter to
give the name of either the murdered
man or Of his assassins.

The Grand Lama Of Thibet.

Most exclusive Of all ''pontiffs'' Cf the
term is admissible) Is the Grand Lama
of Thibet, the Pope of Buddhism, who
dwells in the inaccessible Businesses of
Lassa-"GrOund of God'-On which no
Western man may set foot. According
to the account of Main Singh, an Indian
Pundit, Lassa occupies the centre of a
plain surrounded by barren hills, the
passes of which are guarded by many
forts To say that this most sacred city
is insanitary is to put it in the same cat
egory for holiness and dirt with Benares.
Yet despite its reputed abomination. Las
ga, by virtue Of its being forbidden, has
been the object of many futile pilgrim
ages on the part of the adventurous and
prohibited Westerner To the weird GER
emonies and incantations Of the place
Buddhists may and do flock freely. but
the unbeliever who attempts to approach
the city often does so to his cost. This
as we have already noted. has been the
hard experience of Henry Savage Lam
dor, the special commissioner Of 'The
Daily Mail who has suffered torture
and come very near to death for his in
trepid attempt to enter the Ground of
God" The Grand Lama. we are told. is
the patron of the extravagant and cruel
celebrations with which the Thibetan
New Year is ushered in. and it would
seem that this holy man is likewise ready
to give his personal countenance when
would-be intruders on his sacred city are
visited for their temerity. IT was in the
Grand Lama'S own presence that Mr..
Lander was all but executed. After tor
ture with hot irons. which left the artist
explorer 'unmoved, it was decided to be-
head him. Several times the executioner
brandished his sword about the victims
neck, but at the last moment the Grand
Lama, of his clemency, stayed the steel
and committed the capital sentence to
the torture of the rack. Mr.. Landor.
who suffered terrible injuries. was at
length released, and made his way back
to India. What possibility there is of OBJ
tanning redress from the arch-fanatic Is
problematic. 1t is unlikely that the adj
venturer will seek satisfaction, as he
went fully prepared to take his chance,
even of boiling oil. The Lama, although
so exclusive to Westerners, does not
dwell wholly apart. He is. indeed, kept
constantly informed of European AFFAIRS.
The choosing of the Lama, according to
some accounts, is strangely effected. The
Lamas seek to find successor to the
Grand Lama in a child. The child Is
really selected by the crafty Lamas, but
on the people a pious fraud Is practised.
A bell used by the Lama fs' privately CIV |
en- to the child as a plaything On the |
day of public choice many unfamiliar
bells are laid before the boy, who is dis !
satisfied. and at length asks. ''But where |
is INV own favorite beli?'' The Lama 8
bell is produced and welcomed Plainly |
this is the Lama's spiritual successor. |
This story may or may not be authentic. |

BAD NEWS FROM HAYrl.
Two German Warships En- Route and the
Natives Expect Serious Trouble.

Washington, Dec. 3-The Haytiar
minister. Mr.. Leger, was an early caller
at the state department, today, having
news from home of a most disquieting
nature, of which he wished to talk
with the officials. Secretary Sherman
being still confined to his house by a
cold, and Assistant Secretary Day
having attended the President on his
journey to- Canton, Second Assistant
Secretary Adee was acting as secretary
Of. state. and to him the minister had
recourse. ,..s
/ 1t appears that his government has
cabled him from Port Au Prince that
the Haytian consul at Kingston, ia
naica, had telegraphed that two Ger
man warships sailed, yesterday. from
that island to Port Au Prince. The
news had created the greatest excite
ment in the town and all over the
island, and disturbances were appre-
hehded.
The foundation of the statement is
believed to be that the two German
school ships, which have been cruis-
ing in southern waters, are just start
ing on their way northward to thu
United States. Neither of these YES
sells can properly be regarded as war
ships. although they are attached to
the German navy and carry a large
number Of young naval cadets.
Nevertheless the Haytian ministe"
fears that their appearance in Haytian
waters just at this juncture, when the
threat has been made that German
warships will make a demonstration IN
the harbor of Port -Au Prince. may
lead to serious trouble there.

RESPECT FOR THE FLAG.
One Of the First Lessons That Is Taught at
West Point.

The new cadet at the National
Military Academy. whether he has
come from the little country school
with its home made flag and staff or
from the city school where floats some
times a flag big enough to cover half
the roof of the other school. has been
taught to respect the beautiful emblem
of his country: but he will learn at
West Point. as soon as he begins his
career as a future officer of the ARM,
how thoroughly he is to be trained 10
honor it in his daily life. The laugh
ing school boy salute he has perhaps
given the flag from time to time now
becomes matter of sober ceremony.
so rigidly required and handsomely Or
dered that it at once sets him to think
ing: and the good. sound patriotism
that was in him all along soon EN-
velOps every glimpse and ceremony ii
the cOlorS with sacredness that will
deepen day by day.
One of his first lessons is to doff his
cap each time he passes the color
line where the color is guarded by L
sentinel. Every summer the cadets
pass several months in camp on the
iONcIy DdHhS VI Tue f1uuSOH, ana De-
meath the grand, old trees of the
academy grounds
During certain hours Of the day a
long line of stacked rifles extends along
the front of the camp Across the two
stacks in the center of the line is laid
the color, rolled about it's staff. Up
and down by this flag marches natty
cadet sentinel, and woe be unto the
unlucky cadet who tries to pass this
sacred trust without raising his cap.
So during his life at the academy
this lesson of respect is continued, and
when he has "dcffed the cadet and
donned the brevet and changed til.
gray for the blue" and reported for
duty with his regiment. he finds the |
same lessons being taught the enlisted |
men. and then probably for the first |
time does he realize the full import |
ance of those early lessons taught in |
that far-away schoolhouse.-Lieut. 3.

FATAL VISITS 70 JERUSALEM.
Royal Couples Find II Headquarters Tor Bad
Luck.

While no one need feel surprised that
Emperor William should desire to under
take the trip to Palestine. yet there are
many who regret that hiss 'Zionism'
should have led him to permit his wife to
accompany him on the journey, and
among superstitious people much appre-
hension is felt and expressed in connec-
ton with the project. For it is a strange
popularity that hardly any royal couple
have ever visited Jerusalem together
without being shortly afterward over
taken by misfortune. Only eighteen
months ago the visit of the Archduke and
Archduchess Charles Louis of Austria.
was followed by the sudden death of the
former. who, as second brother of the
emperor Francis Joseph stood next in
line of succession to the throne and who
until that time. had enjoyed perfect
health.

grimage was followed by still more dis
astrous results We're the Crown Prince

These are only few of the large num-
Der of analogous cases that could be
cited i'm this connection. But they are
sufficient to show that superstitious peo-
pie have some grounds for experimenting
misfortune in the event of the Kaiser
taking his wife with him to Jerusalem
next spring. For. curiously enough,
those who make the pilgrimage alone,
and who leave their wives or their hus-
bands at home. appear to escape the fate
that overtakes those royal personages
