A RELIC OF LIVINGSTONE.
Coat Worn by the Explorer Found
in the Heart of


The Charterhouse school contains relic
of Livingstone, presented to the institution
by Bishop Naples. says the London News.
The relic is the old tattered coat, given by
Livingstone in the course of his last jour-
ney TO one of his native followers. This
native gave ii, many years after to Bishop
Naples. The bishop gave an account of the
incident. The native African, he writes,
describes Livingstone:
"A short man with bushy mustache,
and a keen, piercing eye. whose words
were always gentle. and whose manners
Were always kind. whom as a leader it was
a privilege to follow and who knew the
way to the hearts of all men. Then
he showed me the coat; 1t was ragged now,
he knew, but he had kept it those ten
years in memory of the river. from whom
it had been Il legacy when they parted at
Mataka's. To no one but an Englshman
would he part with it. but he let me have
it as one of LivinGstone's brothers Che
Said), and it now lies in the museum at
Charterhouse school,"
The black, of course, did not talk in the
above style precisely. But you can see
what he was at. 1t will interest anthro-
biologists TO know that Naples and his
white followers. when they visited Il GER
tain tribe which no European had reached
before, were taken for ghosts Histories

tain like instances. Sir George Grey, long

woman took him for the spirit of her dead
son, and how she clung to him.

LIVELY TIME EXPECTED.
Attempt of PrOhibitionists to Capture
the State Temperance COnven-
fion Will Be Resisted

Topeka, Kas, Jan. 30.-(Special0 The
Kansas State Temperance Union will hold
its annual convention in Representative hall
next Tuesday and Wednesday,. Secretary
Stephens has heard from various sections
and he says the attendance will be larger
than for years before. A lively time is ex-
pected if any effort is made to turn the
meeting into Prohibition party gathering.
The Fulcrum. the official organ of one OF
the three factions Of the Prohibition party,
has given it out that such an effort will
be made. 1t advises "all temperance peo-
pie who want the union to have party
behind II" to come to the meeting. Sec
retary Stephens says the leaders Of the
union will not permit 1t to fall into the
control of any political party. 1t is a nom
partisan organization and its membership
is made up of people from all parties.
liquor question is TO educate all parties
up to it. and not to attempt to work
through any single party.
The metropolitan police question will also
bring up some discussion. There will be
many delegates present who will urge the
adoption of n resolution favoring the abol-
ishment of the system. DR.. ]. G. Dougher-
ty. of Kansas City, Kas., favors such ac-
ton. He says he is satisfied that the peo-
pie living outside of the large cities, and
especially the temperance element, do not
understand how the thing works. If they
did, he believes they would join the peo-
pie of the cities to have it repealed. 1t is
reasonably certain that the union will let
Governor Leedy know what 1t thinks of
him and his whisky administration.

Attorney General Boyle's constituents.
whose sugar bill last month was higher
than he thought it ought to be, has writ
ten in. asking what had become Of the
proposed fight against the Kansas whole
sale dealers and jobbers trust. Enough
evidence was obtained at the Chanute in
vestigation TO warrant the commencement
of proceedings, and the attorney general
then said that he would draw up the pa
pers and start after the octopus immed-
lately. But for some reason he has not yet
taken any steps and the octopus still
reigns. and the great common masses must
pay trust prices for sugar coffee, matches,
yeast. tobacco and various other articles.
The only explanation given is that he found
another octopus in the plumbers trust,
which he concluded TO tackle first. The
plumbers trust affects thespocketbooks of
the plutocrats. and he wants to give those
people relief first. Then he may consent
to take up the case in which the great
common people are concerned. But the
plumbers must he brought to time first.
