$. G. ,Younlzin, bookkeeper for the
ped by his wife in front of the National
hotel Saturday night
The reason his wife gives for publicly
Furnishing her husband is that he was
very friendly to Miss Virgie Davis and
that she passed his wife. The Younkin
family live at the corner of Sixth and
Western avenues. Saturday night a
walking on the street with Miss Davis
and telephoned her. She took her baby
to neighbours to be cared for and, ac-
companied by her SiSter-in-law, Mrs. c.
L. Younkin, she went up town in search
of him. She bought a rawhide buggy whip,
to Miss Davis she raised the whip and
commenced to cut him around the head
and shoulders. Younkin tried to get out
of reach, but the Infatuated woman fol-
lowed him, plying the whip fast as she
could.
Policeman Maze finally stopped the af-
fair and took the woman home and made
no arrests The story told by Miss Davis
Stepfather and sister is that Younlxin mar
ried Miss Davis on February %. They are
determined to have him brought to justice,

that Younkin had two wives. He was
supposed to have represented to wife No.

Der of his lodge, when in reality he was

was discharged from his employ, and that
she was seeking revenge on him for dis
charging her.

Slaves Under the British Flag.
nom the Now YORK Tines-l

From the New Y DIRK Times.
Zanzibar is a British prOtectorate IN
der the nominal sovereignty of an Arab
sultan whom the British government
placed on the throne and the admins
tration of the island is almost entirely
in the hands Of British officials. In the
vast population it is estimated that
some 280, 200 persons are still in a state
of bondage, although when Zanzibar
came under British control one of the
earliest judicial acts was to abolish
therein the legal status of slavery. Re
Gently in London the subject was taken
up, and has of late called forth some
pulpit orations. The British and For
eign Anti-Slavery society and the anti
slavery committee of the Society of
Friends appealed to the under secre-
tary of state for foreign affairs to end
| the deplorable safe of affairs. The Of
! ficialS of the government reply that il
! they force the slaves to be free I'M
told restitution and starvation would
result and the industries of the island
would be ruined. There is said to be no
analogy between the institution of sla-
very in Zanzibar and that which has
existed in any other part of the world.
The Zanzibar slave has house of his
own and plot of land. He and his fam
lily are clothed; his children are edu-
Gated and cared for, and the master and
slave both holding the same religious
belief, the slaves home life and per-
sonal rights are both recognized and
respected. These personal rights of the
| slave include the fixed tenure of his
| bondage; in other words, he can not be
| sold to another master and transported
| elsewhere at the cost of separation from
| his wife and family and the breaking
| up of his home. The government Off
| Gals argue that should the Zanzibar
| slave be emancipated at once and at a
| single blow he would be deprived OF
every material advantage which is now
! his. The majority of the freed blacks
| near the coast are said to have volun-
tarily returned to bondage. The gov
eminent sums up it's reply to the anti
slavery societies about as follows:
| Before we confer upon the slaves of
| Zanzibar the sentimental boon of lib
| erty we must take steps to provide
| them with the means of utilizing that
| liberty as wage earners; and so far
| nothing has been done in this direction.
| To set them free without this condition
| would simply mean the wholesale pau
| perization of the whole population OF
| Zanzibar"

THE PRODIGAL RETURNS.

Bill, the Blacksmith"

A large, robust fellow with close fit
ting suit of corduroy that failed to hide
the muscles of his six feet and 100 pounds,
staggered along on lower Kansas avenue.
He was crying piteously, and when an
officer stepped up to him he cried to him
for protection.
The officers took him to the police sta
ton and he was booked, in the common
parlance of the station, being affected
with Jim Jams" but when City Physician
Mitchell was called he pronounced it a
very severe case of delirium tremens.
The fellow was led into the cell room.
He threw himself upon the floor and
groveled in the dirt. He crief for help
and tried to dig his way through the walls

and the doctor doubled the usual dose.
He was booked as William Ellison. Ser
geant Tim Donovan recognized him. L

trying to patch that old coat, master.
You will never get it until you put off
the old coat you have been trying to
patch. Put off the old coat you have
been trying to keep, the old coat; but
instead of throwing away the old, you
have been trying to patch up the old.
There are some people who will tell
their experiences, and they will never
get away from it; they hash it over and
hash 1t over. They are something like
a teacher once who went to board
around. In the olden times you know
teachers went from place to place to
board a week, and they killed an old
gander, and they had gander old and
gander lean, and they asked him to ask
the blessing. Oh, Lord, we have had
gander hot and gander tender, gander
tough oh, Lord, you know we have
had gander enough. Some people, you
know, hash up the same experience they
have given; they are weak and they
want to go to heaven; they want to
have salvation, and they never throw
away that miserable experience.

RIOT AT HUNNEWELL
Bad Men Fill up on Whisky and Ter
rorize the Town.

Coffeyville, March 27.-News has
reached here from HunneweH of an old
fashioned riot at this place similar to
border day troubles.
Three South Haven young men drove
to Hunnewen Friday and filled up on
bad whisky and started to run amuck.
They were John Boone, John Brady and
OFT Nave. They carried on high, de-
stroying property, soaring women and
children and fighting anyone who I'M
dertook to interfere or arrest them.
In the afternoon between and 8
o'clock the three fellows climbed into
one buggy and drove out of town. But
it was only about a half hour until they
returned, running their horse up and
down the streets of Hunnewel, shout
ing at the top of their voices, shooting
revolvers and creating an awful dis
turbance.
They were finally arrested but not be-
fore one of the officers had an eye put
out in the operation.

SEPARATE GOVERNMENT
For Each of the Philippine Islands Is
Suggested.

New York, March IA special from 10
lilo says:
The transport Indiana has arrived here
with reinforcementS for Negros island,
where the situation is still satisfactory.
The rising of the hill tribes was of no po-
Htica1 significance
The committee of natives with Colonel
Smith, the American governor, presiding,
proceeded with the work of drafting
constitution, taking the American const-
tuition as the basis of the document. 1t
has been formally proposed to raise the
islands revenue entirely from exports in
stead of by the present method of levying
upon the land values and cedula personae,
thus relieving the laboring classes as far
as possible. The natives desire the i'm
mediate Introduction of the English sys-
tenn of education.
A gentleman who has had excellent op-
portunities for studying the political stu
alton advocates separate government for
each of the islands, with a representative
assembly at Manila for general control,
under the supervision of an American gov
ernor general, who shall be free from in
reference from Washington, except in
regard to international questions.
The deputies for the Island of Negroes
will meet AprI 8 to discuss the draft
