While this witness vas being 0Ues-
toned the prosecution gained a sigh
victory by securing the admission Of the

which the District Attorney was anxious
10 get at was under date OF August 3,

Is regarded as the most damaging evi-
dence against Senator Quay's son. 1t is
as follows:

According to ]. w. Young, an Ameri-
can, who acted as a scout with the
English army during the Zulu war Of
1879, there is a general misunderstood
Ing In this country as to the meaning
Of the title "oom," which is given to
Paul Kruger, president Of the Trans
Vaal. II has been translated "Uncle."
and Our" but Mr.. Young says it
means simply Chief" and Is borrowed
from a similar word in the Zulu
language, which he speaks fluently.
Every chief Of the savage tribes in
South Africa is an "0om," in his own
right. SO that loom" Paul has no Pc
cuIiar claim to the title. Mr.. Young
believes that the Beers, in case Of war.
win follow their old tactics, and fight
mostly on horseback. Their plan Is to
ride within 1000 yards Of the enemy.
dismount rapidly, fire a few shots. and
ride away, the horses being trained to
circle to the rear when shots are fired,
and to advance again as soon as the fir
ing ceases.

New Orleans Times-Democrat: 81 see
some fellow Is going to start a paper
that won't print any reports OF crime"
said an old detective. He thinks such
news Is immoral and harmful to the
public, and II he was in my line Of
business dare say he would change
his mind. The old-time professional
crooks who went in for big game have
ceased almost entirely to operate. and
II Is very seldom that one hears of q
great bank robbery, a burglary on q
large scale or a confidence game in
Volving more than a few hundred dol
lars In my opinion this Is due en-
tireiy to the newspapers. When a big
crime is committed it gets wide pub
licity, descriptions Of suspects are cir
culated all over the country and the
public generally Is put on the alert.
This greatly increases the chances OF
catching the criminals, and has made
such Jobs 30 dangerous that. as said
before, they have been practically aban-
doned. The newspapers have undoubt-
edly broken mp 'bunko' and other dan
gerous confidence games that used to
gather In thousands OF victims every
year. They did 1t by exposing them
50 thoroughly that at last 1t became
next to impossible to find q sucker

talking to a chap who used to be in
the green goods business in New Jer-
sey. He cursed the newspapers very
bitterly and declared they had taken
