whether the recent lynchings at Tall
lulah, or others that may follow, causes in
ternational trouble or not, does not worry
the people Of Louisiana. They are deter
mined to wipe out every vestige OF Mafiaism
In the state, and the sooner the ignorant
and cowardly Italians who belong to that
society learn it the better"
The speaker was Father Mention, a Cath
Ole priest, whose parish is a few miles
from Talluluah. La, and who has been
spending few days in Chicago.
The Italians in our section Of the state"
continued Father Mention, ''are, as a rule.
Of the lowest type Of their nation-the ST.
c1lians. There is such a strong infusion of
Moorish blood in them that they don't de-
serve the title of Caucasians Nominally
Catholics they ignore the church and every
law Of Christianity. They band themselves
in secret societies, and will kill an enemy
or fancied enemy with as little conjunction
as would kill snake. i
"Of the men lynched at. Talluluah two I
personally know to have been murderrers,
one having two assassinations to his dis
credit. OF the other three know nothing
personally of a criminal nature, but they
were reputed to be OF the leaders of their
race and their associations were against
them. deprecate lynch law, but it is the
only protection we have in the South
against these cowardly assassins, and there
fore believe it is under the circumstances,
justifable.
Here in the North 1t is hard to under
stand the conditions we are battling
against in the South, between the Italians
and the negroes. I went there seven years
ago, a Northern man, unprejudiced, but
today am a firm believer In the Southern
way of curbing both these elements.
LET me tell you of case of Mafiaism
that I personally know about. About ten
miles from my parish, two years ago, lived
arduously in his parish, and had accom-
plished a world Of good. An Italian, noted
for his wicked and vicious character, died.
His relations waited on my friend, the
priest, desiring him to conduct the funeral
service and bury the dead man in the
graveyard of the church.
The priest refused both requests The
man had lived and died, he said, outside
the pale of the church, and it would be i'm
possible for any clergyman of the Catholic
church to bury him according to its rites
THE relatives departed, threatening ven
geance, and the next day the priest received
a letter, written in blood or red ink, dec
grated with skull and cross bones, notifying
him that he was marked for DEATH It was
no idle boast, he we'll know. He went
about his clerical duties in constant ex-
pectation of a knife thrust bullet from
some hidden assassin. Under this strain |

HAULS A BOAT ACROSS Arp,r.
0onn Thorburn's Novel and succe...
full Journey in Dark Cont,r.,+


ful Journey in DIRK Cout,r.+
Sixteen hundred miles across the wi,ds of
Africa Wnere the foot of civilized man had
80 nl'nerto trod, is an experience that
presents dangers and difficulties enough of
l's own to discourage almost any ordinary
man. But to haul a steam craft that dis
tance with the aid of two companies Of his
own race and handful of ignorant natives
without the ordinary resources of modern
science is the Feat accomplished successful
~ Dy John ThOrburn, an African nioneer
who has recently arrived in London. This
is only one Of series Of notable accom-
Pilsnments and experiences through which
Thorburn has passed in his 30 years life In
the wilds of Africa.
Inorourn Is Scotchman by birth, who
emlgrated to the Transvaal some 30 wears
ago. He had steamer on the Wal r.vor
ana made considerable money trading with
the natives. Nature, however, conspired
against him, and the Vaal, after successive
dry seasons, was completely dried up I'm
deferred by the dangers of the undertaking,
InQrburn at once determined to take tha
boat across country to the waters of Della
goa bay, distance of 1000 miles,
the boat was 81 feet long, but was load
ca on wagon drawn by Is oxen. Its en-
gines were disposed of on a similar vehicle
and the journey was begun. 1t led through
a perfect wilderness, much of which had
never been trodden by man. Roads were
cut through this and wagons drawn along
as rapidly as possible. Numerous mishaps
failed to discourage the indomitable will Of
the Scotchman, and after encountering for
est fires. which all but destroyed the little
party, and being deserted by all Of his ma
tive helpers, he successfully reached Della
goa bay with his charge.
In the Transvaal Thorburn was Intimately
associated with two noted characters. One
was John O'Reilly, who was responsible for
the discovery of the diamond mines of South
Africa. and the other was Hans de Beers
who owned two of the most famous mines
of South Africa. the De Beers and the KIM
berley. O'Reilly's discovery was due to the
accidental play of a little girl with a bright
river stone. He purchased the stone from
the girls parents, saying he thought he
could sell it for good price, and would
return her one-half of the proceeds. This
he returned to her, the rest he used to pur
chase ground in South Africa in which to
exploit his find
De Beers sold his diamond interest for an
Insignificant sum. He knew of the immense
value OF the ground, but did not wish to be |
bothered with the wealth. only taking |
enough to keep him for the remainder Of his
days in quiet and obscurity. He died event. |

JIJlINEZ ABOUT TO START.

PLANNING TO GO To SAN DOMINGO TO-DAY
TO LEAD THE REVOLUTION IN PERSON.
Havana, Aug. 16.-General Juan Isidro Jmi-
nez. the aspirant 10 the Presidency OF the Re
public Of san Domingo. will probably leave Ha-
vana for san Domingo tomorrow. going by
south coast steamer from Batabano He viii
be accompanied by two friends and will travel
unarmed.
In Jiminezs judgment the time is now ripe FOR
him 10 place himself the head Of the move
ment in his favor. The dispatch which Pedro
Lluberas former Dominican Minister OF the In
terror sent from Santiago TO the revoutionists,
emphasizing the Importance OF denying the
prosperity OF the movement in favor Of Jiminez.
the latter interprets as merely intended to check
the horde Of Cuban and American adventures
who are eager to embark for san Domingo.
on the same principle Jminez explains tele-
gram received to-day telling OF the defeat Of
the revolutionary forces. This report. ne said.
is probably false as the advices he has received
personally from his representatives tell OF moth
ing but successes. Stories to the contrary are,
