Are we to assume that Kentucky JUS
tice can not be trusted to deal with col
ored men who murderously assault girls ?
1t must be cheap kind of justice they
have in chivaIrous Kentucky, if that
superstition be the correct one. AS d
matter of fact, however, no one really
believes that the mob that hung the
brute at Hawesville, KY, Saturday, was
actuated by the slightest fear that the
courts wouldn't deal justly with the
negro. The populace wanted to satisfy
lust for blood, that's all, at least that
is the only apparent reason, for it was
long since demonstrated that lynchin;,
doesn't deter others from committing
crime, but on the contrary makes the
entire community more lawless.

Until the dwellers in the Mississippi
valley and those who think their re-
moteness a selfish protection from any
consequence of naval warfare realize
not only the contemplate but the
shortsighted quality of such an opinion
the dissemination of information by
those who are authorities will continue
to be as it is today a work to be en-
couraged. OF this sort are the articles
which eX-Secretary of the Navy Her.
bert and Speaker Reed have recently
contributed to the public through the
pages of the Forum and The Illustrated
American, respectively.
The country will repose a good deal
of confidence in the opinion of ex-Sec-

strength and that of other countries,
and otherwise presented a good deal of

Jewells Island of the coast Of Harps-
wen. q few miles from Halfway Rock,
probably more than any other island
on the coast of Maine appeals to Gre
dulity and has more remarkable claims
to being the rendezvous of pirate snug
glers and buccaneers. 1t has a perfect
harbor, broad, deep. half hidden at the
entrance and sheltered at every side.
1t is known beyond any doubt that the
coast of Maine was the resort of smug-s
glers in large organized bands, and on
JEWELS Island is an old house with
strange, half-concealed rooms, hidden
chambers, deep-set windows, oaken
shutters able to resist the firearms Of
those days, and an outlook into the
open sea. From the cellar are FIVE
separate exits, each one of which would
admit of escape into the thick woods Of
the island. Years ago the island was in
the possession of the Chase family, but
now is owned by Mr.. Mckeen, a Bow
dom college alumni, and one Of the
trustees of that college. Within year
they have discovered q very curious
secret-closet, cunningly contrived and
concealed. The house was built ninety
years ago, and there is no other sea-
girt domain that has been so frequently
associated with the name of Capt Kidd
or has been so persistently dug over
for pirate gold.

Courier Gazette: The Penobscot
yacht club might have been made one
| of the leading organizations of it's kind
in New England. The club started out
under most favorable auspices with
| nicely fitted up quarters, a large and

speedy boats to enter regattas, but the
apple of discOrd, which hangs over
every organization of no matter what
size. was plucked by some of the MEM
bers and in comparatively short time
the club was dismembered and all
efforts to re-establish it's prestige has
signally failed. But this did not kill
the yachting spirit throughout the
county by any means. Thomaston ana

speedy boats entered and good time
