Church Sells Mans Home,

The odd spectacle OF church securing
a judgment and selling mans dwelling
house from over his head was Witnessed
at Horton, Kan. a few days ago. The
defendant, Frenzsl, had given his note
for 500 to help pay off the church5debt.
When the note fell due he declined to
pay it on the ground that be had not re-
ceived any valuable consideration for
the mount represented and that the
note was therefore invalid. Bat the
court held otherwise, gave judgment
with costs, and the house was sold ia
satisfaction.

REHEARSlNG HIS OWN FUNERAL.
A japanese Who Paid a Good Price to See
1t Through Properly,

A curious incident is related by the
japanese papers. Mr. Kumekawa OF
Kobe, like every other intelligent Jap
anese, desired that his funeral should
be attended by ceremonies appropriate
TO his rank and position, and III order
that he might not be disappointed III
this respect, having reached his seven
ty seventh year and knowing that
his DAYS were numbered, he deter
mined to have his funeral in ad
vance& and make the arrangements
himself. Therefore, on the day
appointed his relatives and friends
were invited to his house and gath
cred around an empty coffin with
all the paraphernalia OF mourning ana
engaged IN the most elaborate Bud
dhist ceremony that could be devised.
Mr.. Kumekawasa sat at the head OF the
casket and watched with interest all
that was g0ingon.
After the ceremonies at the house
were concludeda procession was forms
ed which marched through all the prn-
cipal streets to the cemetery. Mr..
KumekaWa walked in front OF his
own coffin. The floral offerings were
numerous and beautiful. The Kobe
city band led the procession and play
ed modern airs, while at intervals
were groups efsdancing girls and mem
beers OF the theatrical profession, who
performed pailtomine allegorieS to IL
iustrate the@nobility OF Mr.. Knme-
kaWa's character and the loss that was
suffered by the community at his
death. Just before reaching the gates
of the cemetery the# procession was
halted and several photographs were
taken. After the coffin had been low>
cred into the grave and covered with
floral offerings the funeral party pro-
ceeded to the Jinko Club, where an
elaborate feast was served and speech
es eulogistic of Mr.. Kumekawa were
delivered by several of his friends.
Mr.. Kumekawa was thoroughly sat
isfied with the success of his funeral,
although it cost him large sum OF
money, and he may now depart IN
peace, knowing that all the rites have
been observed, and when he dies it is
only necessary for his family'to place
his body In the coffin that lies In the
ground.-Chicago Record.

THE STATES CONNECTS.
SOME INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT
GEORGIA'S CRIMINALS.
The Offenses of Which the Two THOUSAND
Inmates of the State Penitentiary
Were Convicted.
Were Convicted

There are in the Georgia penitentiary
two thousand, two hundred and one
criminals for the following offenses
Arson Is, attempt to murder 230, at
tempt to rape POI, aiding escapes
burglary 696, bigamy 4, bestlality IL,
breaking railroad cars 8, embeZzlenents
2, forgery 81, infanticide 1, incest 3,
kidnapping s, larceny after trust s, lar
ceny from house "a, larceny from per-
son 5. mayhem 9, manslaughter 2OI,
murder 419, obstructng railroad trains
2. perjury II, persOnating another 1, re-
ceivirg stolen goods l, rape l0l, robbery
81. resisting an officer /, simple larceny
1913 wrecking railroad train 5, shooting
at another Is, riot 4, sending threatening
letter !. seduction 1, counterteiting /;
making a total of 2,2Ol.
Two hundred and forty-five are white
men and three are white women, while
I $50 are black men and 68 are black
women. That is to say, there are elghI
black criminals to one white IN the
charge of the state, although the negro
population of the state is less IMAM Che
white.
mThese figures upset several impress
sions that are general abroad if not at
home. One of them is that majority
of the negroes are convicted OF petty Oh
lenses. A glance at tie figures given
above reveals the fact that large ma ma
iority of the convictions, more than Z,OOO
out of a total of 2,201, in fact, were Tor
very serious offenses. The largest num-
Der. 696. comes after burglary, crime
so serious that many favor making 1t a
capital offense. Next follow MURDER
AIS. attempted murder, 23O, and man
slaughter 2O1. Adding these figures we
find that there were $40 convictions s, 1or
or attempting to take human life Ihen
follow in the order of their frequency
attempted rape POI, simple .arceny 1o9'
ripe 1O1, robbery 81, arson TO-
The fact that there were 3o2 con>
victions for crimes committed ana az
tempted against women upsets another
impression. 1t has been asserted 50
often that the "usual crime" has oeen J;
must andwif be lynching without ian
that nearly#everY one now believes 1t W
be a statement OF fact.
