Only Two fhOfts In Iceland In . Thousand
Years.
In Iceland there are no prisons, and
the inhabitants are 80 honest in theil
habits that such dcfenses to property al
locks, bolts and bars are not required,
nor. are there any police in the island.
Yet it's history for 1000 years records
no more than two thefta OF these two
cases one was that Of a native, who was
detected after stealing several sheep,
but rs he had done so to supply his fam.
lily, who wero suffering for want Of
food, whom he had broken his arm, pro.
visions were furnished to them and
work was found for him when able 10
do 1t, and meanwhile he was placed un.
der medical care. but the stigma attach.
ed to his crime wns considered sufficient
punishment.
The other theft wns by q German,
who stole II sheep.
But as he was in comfortable circum-
stances and the robbery was malicious
the sentence passed upon him was that
no should sell all his property, restore
the value of what no hnd stolen and
thcn leave the country or be executed,
and he left at once. But though crime
is rare in Iceland and Its inhabitants
are distinguished for honesty and puri
ty of morals there is, of course, provi
sion for the administration Of justice
which consists, first of all, In the sher
IFS courts; next, by appeals to thu
court Of three judges at Reikiavik, thu

most civil cases to the supreme court n

Defines His Position Relative to Candidacy for
 Congress.

An enthusiastic democratic meeting was held in the city hall at Pratt City last night. About 300 voters were in attend ance, and Joseph Saulsbury presided.
 During the course of a speech Dr. Cum ningham defined his position relative to his candidacy for the democratic nomination for congress. He said that if Oscar w. Underwood declared himself in favor of the free, unlimited and independent coin age of silver at the ratio of 16 to 1 by the United States, he would not oppose Under wood; if Underwood failed to do this, he probably would run He said that the policy of the republican party was clearly defined by the Dingley bill and Gage financial measures.

LED XII IN THE VATICAN Lecture at the Opera House,
 February 15,
 BY F. MARION CRAWFORD The Celebrated Novelist Tells Not Only of the
The Celebrated Novelist Tells Not Only of the Daily Life of the Supreme Pcntiff, Put
 Also of His Remarkable Personality.

The following is from the Brooklyn Daily Eagle on the occasion of MT. Craw- ford's lecture in Brooklyn few weeks since:
 "A Roman Catholic who has at all times spoken his mind on religious subjects with pride of strong conviction. unmiXed with defiance, the lecturer handled his subject of last evening in a manner which was at once captivating, judicious and wisely moderate. The lecture breathed the very spirit of his novels, the spirit of human brotherhood, the spirit of hatred of all things petty and mean.
 "Those who are acquainted with the work of the celebrated novelist need scarcely be reminded that a great portion of the last two decades has been spent by MT. Crawford in Rome. Of the intrica- cies of the politics of this most cosmo- politan of continental cities this keenest of observers of men, this most subtle and keen analyzer of motives is qualified to speak in manner and with authority which can be claimed by few living men and certainly by no other living American and he showed in his lecture that he has taken the utmost advantage of every op- portunity that has been afforded him."
 Mir Crawford is making a lecture tour of the United States under the manage ment of Maj. J. B. Pond, of New York and his lecture in Birmingham has been secured for the benefit of the pipe organ fund by the ladies of the South Highlands Presbyterian church.
 The admission prices will be 75 cents for the parquet and the first two rows of the dress circle and 50 cents for the balance of the dress circle.

WAVING THE BANNER OF SILVER

Hon. Charles A. Towne, former member of congress from Duluth, Minn., chairman of the silver republican party, will de- liver address to the public at Seals hall tomorrow night at 7:SO.
 ". c. Garrett received telegram from Representative Underwood last night that Mr. Towne would arrive in the city Mon day morning over the Southern and would have time to make a speech. Accordingly an invitation was extended to MT. Towne and he will accept Every one is invited to hear him.
 Brilliant Orator.
 MT. Towne is one of the most famous free coinage of silver orators in the United States. He was born in Michigan and is now about 40 years old. He was educated at the University of Michigan at Ann Ar bor, and was considered one of the most promising young men ever graduated from the university. In 1892 he removed to Du- luth and began the practice of law.
 He was there for only two years when he was nominated and elected to congress as republican At that time the money question was not the issue, but MT. Towne has always favored free coinage.
 It was in February, 1S96 that he deliv- cred in congress his speech in support of the free coinage of silver which made him world famous. Time and again he interrupted by congressman who sought to get him tangled up, but he answered all questions with such ease and in so lucid manner that the mem bers crowded about him at the conclusion of his effort to extend their congratula- Jn charts in such manner that even the most simple-minded could understand.
 In the campaign of 1896 parts of the Con- gressonal Record containing MT. Towne's s speech were sent broadcast over the coun- try, and constituted one of the greatest campaign documents of the democrats.
 ~t ,.s.f Wont Out at St. Touir.
 Mr. Towne could have easily been renomi- mated for congress from his district were 1t not for the fact that he marched out of the convention hall at St. Louis with Senator Teller and others when the plat form was adopted and did not contain a plank for independent action by the United States in remonetizing silver.
 He returned to Duluth and was nominated for congress by the democrats and popu- lists. The campaign that followed was one of the fiercest that ever waged in the northwest. Page Morris was MT. Towne' s republican opponent, but the fight against the latter was Jed by the Duluth News Tribune.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the Sev- enth Minnesota district is overwhelmingly republican, Mir. Towne was defeated by only about 700 votes
 Keeping Up the Fight.
 Since the election Mr. Towne has kept up the fight for the free coinage of silver and has been endeavoring to change the senti- nent of the republican party In favor of independent action by the United States in remonetizing silver.
