00ddW Indian Customs Put Highest Regard ON Personal Honor

The execution of William Going
the Choctaw Indian, by his tribe re-
Gently, will doubtless be the last of the
tragic Indian executions which have
now become famous. The determine
ton of the Federal courts to punish
those who sent Going to the happy
hunting ground will surely put stop
to all further affairs of the kind if the
warning of the Federal courts failed
to do so. The most tragic aspect of
the case, however, was the voluntary
return of the Indian to his doom.
Pythias himself was no more heroic.
He had the additional incentive of sue
coring Damon, who had staked his life
on his comrades honor The Choctaw,
however, was bound by nothing but
his word. He might have stayed away
from his tribe. He would have lived
and had its excavations. But he chose
rather to keep his word-to return and
die. 1t seemed simple matter to
him.
The execution of Going was ordered
by the Indian court that formerly had
jurisdiction in the Choctaw Nation, but
whose authority has been superseded
by the Federal courts. Sheriff Thomas
Watson was the executioner, and will
probably be the one proceeded against
by the Federal authorities, while some
thirty who participated with Watson
are likely to be indicted Going was

town in the depth of the Choctaw
wilderness. The crime for which he
paid the penalty of his life was the
murder of his uncle two years ago. He
was tried and convicted by the Indian
court at that time, and though under
sentence of death he has been free to
come and go as he pleased. He was not
even summoned to appear on the day
set for the execution. He was simply
notified of the date fixed.
The execution was originally fixed
for November, 1897. At the time he
was on the ground, but a reprieve was
granted and he was again released. He
was advised that several years might
elapse before any further action was
taken in his case and that he might go
where he pleased in the meantime.
Soon after the outbreak of the Spanish
war he went to Cuba and there fought
under the Cuban flag until peace was
declared. He married a senorita and
returned to the United States, settling
down in Kansas. Here he lived con-
tentedly until short while since let
ter came with the intelligence that his
death warrant was prepared.

Gagged BEAUTIES
Exposed For Sale to the Passer-By In
Algerian Marts.

Mr.. William Shark describes in Lon
don Literature visit, while in Alge-
ria, to street of Gagged women 1t
seems it is forbidden to Europeans af-
ter dark, but he wandered in, partly
through incident, partly through Curl
osity. He writes: Some women were
in barred rooms and some in cages, Of
fered for sale. The woman in the first
cage passed was rather pretty, and,
though her hair was dark, she had pale
blue eyes. Her long loose tresses were
everywhere clasped with little blue
brooches, and l noticed that her lips,
the end Of her ears and her finger tips
were stained dull red. She accosted
me in Moorish-French, and asked me
IL | would not like to take her away

a Spaniard, from one of the Balearic
Isles. Strangely, she was very fair.
with blonde hair full of dusky gold
sheen. She has been taken to Oran, at
the extreme western end of Algeria, by
a Spanish naval officer, and there in a
few weeks had been deserted. For
some months she was a derelict in that
old Hispano-Mauresque town. After
her child was born she had gone inland
to hill-set Tlemcen, the old Moorish
town that stands within sight of the
frontier of Morocco. There rich Moor
had taken her to his harem. On his
death few months later she had been
purchased by Jew from Algiers, and
straightway sold to young Turk at
Bona. The Turk, when tired of her,
disposed of his property to an Arab
sheik, who had grown tired of her in
turn and placed her in the street cage,
an article for sale. For some minutes
stood talking to poor imprisoned
creature. when a passing guard took
notice of the incident and whispered to
me in French to move away at once
and return to the foreign quarter. He
had passed on before l could see his
face. The next moment I deserted the
evil countenance of Jewish-looking
Moor, behind the cage of the Oran
woman. He was her owner and he had
been listening to our conversation.
When he discovered that he had not a
purchaser to deal with he came forward
brusquely. DO you want her or not?'
he demanded, sneeringly, in gutteral
Algerian French No? Then be off

JAILBIRDs' SIGN LANGUAGE.
They Can Talk to One Another without
Anyone Knowing 1t.

They Can Talk to One Another without
Anyone Knowing 1t.
Old jailbirds can defy the vigilance
OF all the wardens in Europe. With
mouths half open they can speak to a
companion hard by with absolute i'm
punity, the lips and lower jaw never
even being moved. If the companion
fails to hear he indicates the fact by
putting his finger into one ear as if
it were itching. Their dumb alphabet
is marvelously complete. A prisoner
wants to say that some one is dead; he
spells the name on his fingers, then he
rests his head upon his hands and
stamps on the ground-so-and-so is
dead and buried. Some one is impris-
oned for so many years, and this is
conveyed from one prisoner to another
by the former putting as many fingers
as correspond to the years across his
ear-the man has got, say, three
ear; for months a similar sign is
made on the mouth. Coughs and
sneezes of different kinds indicate all
manner of distinct things. One we'll
known cough means listen" The
prisoner who gives it has received a
letter; he looks at the palm of one
hand and pretends to scribble with the
other. II he has got newspaper he
pretends to be reading the palm of the
hand very intently. He pretends to
whip to indicate that he has been
fiogged; he puts his hand on his stom-
ach to indicate short allowance; he has
written letter, so he pretends to
write on his hand, and then to throw
the words into the air.-Cassell's Jour-
nal

ODDS AND ENDS.


1t is estimated that the consumption
of beer in the entire world amounts to
81, $50, 100000 per annum. This seems
to be an almost incredible figure, but
does not appear so strange when it is
considered that the beer which is con-
sumed throughout the world in a single
year would make a lake three and
three-quarters miles long, mile wide
and six feet deep.
1t is not generally understood that
the United States employs anthracite
coal for heating and electric lighting
purposes in the great state, war and
navy departments in Washington. And
this is done solely to avoid the smoke
nuisance. The United States treasury
department, on the contrary, uses
bituminous coal, with the result that
steady stream of smoke pours from
the furnaces Of that building, to the
detriment of the landscape, and to
the injury of all surrounding prop
erty.

The following extract from an inter-
view with Mr.. John Burroughs, recent
ly published in Success, contains
things that are we'll worth thinking
about:
81 consider the desire which most
persons have for the luxuries that
money can buy an error of mind. 1t
means nothing except lack of higher
tastes. Such wants are not necessary
wants, not honorable wants. If you
cannot get wealth with noble pur-
pose, it is better to abandon it and
get something else.
"Peace of mind is one of the best
things to seek-and finer tastes and
feelings. The man who gets these,
and maintains himself comfortably, is
much more admirable and successful
than the man who gets money and
neglects these. The realm of power
has no fascination for me. ] would
rather have my seclusion and peace
