 "It is almost incredible that president of the United States is willing to desolate and destroy thousands of homes and shed the blood of poor, unfortunate savages to keep himself and his friends in office. The situation is shocking from the American standpoint The strongest men in the re- publican party have turned their back on the administration. They are becoming disgusted with MeKinleyism.

 The story continues to be circulated that

 ably is not true now. The wishes, purposes
 or desires of MT. Cory in the matter are
 not known to reporters of The Age-Herald;
 but they aseertained from him within the past ten days that he had not acquired any part of the stock of the Hon. Horace Hoods paper and did not contemplate do- ing so This, perhaps, is the best answer to the story that Mir. Cory is concerned in

The Missionary's Little Joke.

A native Maori chieftain, the de-
scendant Of cannibal kings, is now
completing his medical education in
Chicago. Cannibalism ended in his
tribe, he says, when Bishop Selwyn
converted his grandfather; but he
tells some stories of it which haze a
distinctly humorous flavor. For in
stance:
It is said that once chief captured
missionary who was anything but a
toothsome morsel, as he was old and
thin and looked as if his flesh would
be tough. The missionary warned the
chief that he would not make good
dinner, and pulling up his trousers, cut
a slice off the calf of his leg and offer
ed it to She chief.
The chief tasted it, said he didn't
like it and passed it to subchief.
The sub tasted it, made a wry face and
passed it on. The next man who took
bite of it spat it out. Tha missiona-
ry was released. After he had gone it
was discovered that he wore cork

Rum in Africa.

Bishop Tugwell, Of the English
Church Missionary Society at Lagos,
West Africa, in a letter to the Lon
don Times, reports that enormous
quantities Of gin, rum, and brandy
are pouring into British West Africa
through Lagos, Akassa, Bonny, and
other ports. He afirms that within a
few days Of the time of his writing
thousands of cases of intoxicants had
been stocked on the wharves of the
merchants. Drinking habits arc being
formed, not only among the heather
and Mohammedans, but among the
better classes. Scventy-fve per cent
Of the deaths amongst the Europeans
are attributed to their drinking habits.
While some of the British officials
secu to oppose the traffic, they do it
Intellectually. An enormous revenue
is derived from the traffic, but the
moral degradation is still more enor-
nous. The bishop says: 1T is a.
shameful and horrible hypocrisy to
boast of cur imperial greatness and
suffer such evils to go unchecked. ;"
In an appeal to Christian Englishmen
to take some prompt and definite
action in the matter, he calls for the
prohibition of che importation Of spirits
in districts where the trade has not
yet been introduced, and that in other
districts the duty on the imports shall
be raised so that the price shall be-
come practically prohibitive. That
this letter Of Bishop Tugwell in the
Times has greatly aroused the British
traders in Lagos is evidenced by the
fact that they have brought an action
for libel against him on his return to
Africa. The committee of the Church
Missionary Society has hastened to
assure the bishop Of their sympathy
and of their readiness to accept the
pecuniary responsibility for his de-
fense. Possibly the stir shus made
will serve to arouse proper public
sentiment for the suppression of the

The Silent Example.

It is an education to come in per-
sonal contact with good man. He
may not utter precept, but his ex-
ample is an efficient teacher. The
Rev. Robert Balgarnie, an English
clergyman who preached at Scarbo-
rough, once rendered, unknown to
himself, great service to young
man by the influence of his silent ex-
ample. The unconscious benefit is de-
scribed by the Rev. Newman Hall, in
his Autobiography
A lady wrote to Mr.. Balgarnie, say
ing that she owed him more gratitude
than she could express. She had a
son who was struggling against the
evil habit Of drinking She dreaded
his going to Scarborough, lest the GUS
toms Of society might lead him away.
She dreaded the example, not Of the
worldly, but of Christian professors
who took wine.
Her son had written to say that he
had been at an evening party where
wine was handed round. He was
about to take it, following the ex-
ample of some respectable and good
people, when he saw that Mr.. Balgar
ME refused it. This fortified him to
resist the temptation, which with him
might have led to ruin.
Mr.. Balgarnie's silent example not
only saved the mothers boy, but ex-
pressed the rule Of the great apostle
eff meat make my brother to offend
to STUMBLED, I will eat no flesh while
the world standeth, lest I make my
brother to offend. "-YouMs Conpan-

Murderers Dash for Liberty.

ATLANTA, GA, October 21.-Edward
G. Flanagan, the Dekalb County mur-
derer, broke from his cell i'll the Dekalb
County jail this morning. AS he dash
ed through the door and past the guard,
who had the murdcrer's breakfast in
his hands, he snatched up the two
year-old baby OF SheritfTalley. Draw,
ing a long knife from his sleeve and
clasping the child to his half-clad
breast, the prisoner fled down the j all
stairway toward the street and liberty.
Down one flight Of steps and then
through q corridor leading to the
sheriff's residence, the only avenue OF
escape from the prison, Flanagan sped,
holding the screaming child with his
left arm and brandishing the knife in
his right hand. But for the presence
of the sheriff in the corridor Flanagan
would have escaped. Sheriff Talley
happened to be in the room into which
Flanagan dashed. Mrs. Talley, the
child's mother, was also in the room.
The father and mother simultaneously
sprang upon the escaping prisoner,
Mrs. Talley welding a broom and the
sheriff clutching Flanagan by the neck.
The guard came running down the
steps at the same instant in pursuit OF
the prisoner, and the three Of them
overpowered Flanagan and tore the
child from his grasp The sheriff then
drove him back up the stairs and into
the cell at the point OF lis pistol.
Flanagan has been confined in the
Dekalb jail since last February await
ing new trial IN the charge OF muir

Paid With a Snab

If anything rolls woman, it is to
have some younger woman get up and
offer her a seat in street car. This
misplaced civility infers that the elder
woman is to be considered on account
of her age, when, in fact, there is
little difference in years between the
two.
I witnessed a droll bit of comedy
the other day in Brookline electric
that makes me smile every time I think
Of it. The car was full, with several
passengers standing, when in bounced
stout, well preserved person, with
white hair beautifully pompadoured.
She was dressed in deep mourning,
but bunch Of violets in the front Of the
coat gave touch Of mitigation to
her grief, which was quite borne out
by mc,riment lurking in her mouth
and eyes. The lady grasped strap
and looked out of the window. Then
suddenly young person sitting near,
observing perhaps that no man in the
car intended to offer his seat, rose and
leaning forward touched the other on
the arm, saying:
"Won't you have my seat?"
care you going to get out?' asked
the standee.
"No, ma am, replied the tactless
creature, ''but you are older than l,
and" buS the sentence was never
finished. If glance could slay, that
young person would have fallen on the
floor dead.
"Thank you. When I am too old to
stand up, I shall not enter public
conveyance.

the passengers tittered.-Clncinno

ALBANY, GA, October 21.-The
danger of twisting the lions tail was
pointedly illustrated here to-day. Fred
Morris, aged 10, visited Cooper's Circus.
Eluding the vigilance of the keepers
he seized the tail of the biggest lion
and gave it the severest twist lis small
hands were able. With an angry roar
the beast thrust its paws through the
bars, grabbed the child's head and
nearly pulled it off before he could be
rescued. The scalp was nearly torn
off and the claws scraped the skull IN
dozen places. The child is seriously
injured.
