The New York Way.

Sodus, N. Y, Jan. 31.-Two
negro boys, who branded the 12-
year-old son of Daniel Williams
with pocket-knife blades heated,
narrowly escaped lynching today
at the hands of an enraged mob.
The culprits were dragged up
and down the frozen streets yhal-
ters, and then a rope was thrown
over limb of tree and one of
the boys was swinging in the air.
The rope broke, but the mob
was 100 intent on administering
speedy justice to wait for new one,
and tied both the boys to tree
trunk. Fifty lashes were then
applied, and the boys were left
suffering in the biting cold.
Later four women took pity on
the boys and released them.

A wen marked peculiarity Of the
American people st large is that they
win not waste time over puerilities that
are 80 apt 20 tangle the red tape Of Eu-
ropean nations inexplicably. A normal
American cannot comprehend the small
ness OF code which permits the arrest
and punishment Of man for idle words
spoken when under the influence of
liquor. and yet such is the procedure
in Germany. and very much the same
undignifed httleness is apparent in the
whole of the Lippe-Detmold squabble
In France n Beaurepaire has thrown
the bourse into fever by charges Of
preposterous trivialit. that would be
laughed down the wind here. It win be
remembered that when our illustrious
Coxey set ont upon his crusade The
Saturday Review saw the end Of the
great republic looming up at last Fancy
such a movement in France as was
Coxey'sl But we laughed the crusade
out OF public sight. and the great re-
public went on unperturbed- It Is not
generally known that Jew in Russia
must apply to the police when he wishes
to name q child. and the authorities
furnish name. The imperial senate in
st. Petersburg has just had solemn
sitting over Jew who named his child
Samuel when the police insisted that it
should be Shemuel. the proper Yiddish
spelling. Commenting on this. the Paris
Temps says. THAT such puerilities
should engage the attention of the high
est legislative and consultive body in
the Russian empire is a striking indics-
tion of the intellectual level which even
the educated Muscovite appears to have
attained at the close of the nineteenth
century"

Whitaker Mann and Howard Har

Barlow knives in a blacksmith
shop at Ballardvjlle, KY, today,
to settle a quarrel which grew out
of the sale of some tobacco. The
men fought until exhausted, then
rested a while and resumed the
combat, which resulted in Mann S

died, while Harlin is thought to be
fatally hurt. They lived on ad-
joining farms, and were both men

CAPITAL LhAT.

The Chiekasaw legislature con-
vened yesterday at Tishomingo,
and Gov. D. H. Johnston's mes
sage will be read to that body TO-
day. Quite a budget of new and
unfinished business viii be trans
acted during the special session.
For several days there has been
q great deal Of apprehension
among citizens holdings large bod
les of land in the Chickasaw ma
ton, fearing that Gov. Johnston
would issue an order for all hold
ers of large pastures and bodies of
land under fence to reduce pastures
to 40 acres. There has been talk
Of such move, and in many por-
tions of the nation it is generally
believed. Gov. Johnston has au-
thorized an emphatic denial that
he contemplates making any such
move. He says he has never con-
tempIated any such thing, and the
rumors current to that effect are
without foundation.
1t is also stated that all acts of
the Chickasaw legislature passed
by the regular session and the ex-
ira session following it, have been
approved by the interior depart
ment at Washington and have been
sent to the president for his official
signature. That the president will
approve the acts is foregone con-
clusion, as the approval of the Sec
retary of the interior is the official
approval of acts, and whatever
course is recommended by that de-
partment is followed by the presi-
dent.

There are two questions yet to

The religious periodicals of the coun-
try in reviewing the past year mainly
agree in recognizing an increased intel
lectual activity in the churches. but
with one or two exceptions they point
out that there has been falling away
in spiritual interest. From the various
organs Of the sects there is an admis-
sion that devotional activity has de-
creased while the humanitarian ma
chinery of the church has been enlarged
Even the evangelical organs acknowl-
edge a decline in religious enthusiasm
The deficiency and change are various
ly attributed to the secularization of
church methods. the growth in luxu-
rious habits and the preoccupation Of
mems minds in vast commercial under
takings or the stress Of competition in
industrial ranks These remarks apply
more particularly to the centers of pop
ulation than to the country at large.

New York is. slowly making the dis
covery that it is treeless city. Com
parisons recently made show that it has
fewer trees in its streets than any other
American city. not excepting those that
were built up ON the treeless prairies.
All attempts to plant trees in New York
have been hampered. by sentimental
pity for Che trees themselves. No tender
hearted man would ask tree to try
and grow in gas soaked soil amid the
electrical conduits and the sewers.

Whereas, there are some so, 900
or 1O0,OOO white children between

ETY. of Silo, 1. T.:
That we do most earnestly pray
Congress to establish a system of
schools for the free education of
all white children (not members of

themselves. We are the cream of the

be preserved by going into a refriger-
