There's something barbaric about
lynching. as most people will agree. :"
said the man with the broken nose, &C.
cording to the Minneapolis Tribune,
but can easily name two worse
things. One is rolling a man around
In = barrel and the other Is a coat OF
tar and feathers. In my foolish young
days I arrived at a town in southern
Indiana to hnd the people excited over
several arrests for robbery. A fam
lily named Black. consisting Of . man
and wife and = Erown-up son, had
been caught and made to confess to 20
many thefts. Instead Of putting them
on trial the people had determined to
apply tar and feathers and walk 'em
out Of town. / had no objections AZ
far as the men were concerned, but
when II came to the woman I consti-
tuted myself her champion, and de-
clared that they must walk over my
dead body hrst. For about five min
utes I was . hero. Then about .
dozen men grabbed me and hustled me
into room. and after the Blacks had
been disposed of. according to pro-
gramme. was brought out for pun
ishment. Plenty Of tar and feathers
were left. but the crowd wanted 4
change. and II was decided that I
should have the barrel exercise. They

Of the sensations. They hrst kicked Il
along the wide. unpaved street, and
II had not rolled over more than twen-

After they had enjoyed themselves for
. quarter Of an hour I was praying for
death to hurry up. d!mly remember
that after they got tired Of the football

wEDDED HIS MorHER-lN-LAw.

Peculiar Matsineaial Mix-Up reported
fron Alsbama.
There was = peculiar case reported
BY the Tampa Tribune's Alabama cor
respondent in 4 recent issue. Accord
ing to the story young man Of that
STATE. In order to keep in control Of
certain property left by his deceased
wife, yielded to the unusual tempta-
ton and performed the remarkable
feat of marrying his mother-in-law.
There's brilliant opening on the
platform for that fellow. He is enti-
tied to the distinguished consideration
of curious world. The columns of
the yellow journals could be his to
command. Al . museum attraction
he would be gold mine to any mana
ger. Think Of the absolute rashness.
tho reckless daring of such step.
What laureled hero. In war or peace.
has surpassed It? Here 10 a man, young
and good looking. with bright fu-
ture before him. who, without hesita-
ton. without murmur of protest.
for the sake Of few paltry pieces Of
real estate. has deliberately leaped into
the arms Of his mother in law-tied
up to her In life. placed himself per-
manently In her power. burned all the
bridges OF escape, and laughed we'll
founded tradition to scorn. This Ala
bama experiment may have a great ef-
feet on the future OF the human race.
Hitherto. the mere existence Of the
mother in law has been the greatest
deterrent influence to the matrimonial
inclinations Of both sexes. Particu-
larly in the case Of every man who
has found himself on the threshold
Of proposal to the object of his idol
airy has the question arisen. not, Can
l AFFORD to support a wife?" but Can
I afford to acquire mother in law?"
After marriage she has been. too Of
ten the serpent that spoiled the hyme-
neal Eden. But the Alabama young
man, by his bold stroke Of originality.
may change all this. He may succeed
In giving the lie to precedent. He
may fnd the position OF stepfather to
his former wife a sinecure. As acting
grandfather to his own children he
may make brilliant record. and
should the second union result in on
spring. he may ind much mental en-
1oyment In the realization that he is
the father OF his eldest sons uncle or
the fond parent Of his youngest daugh-
ter's aunt. So We will watch the ca
reer Of the Alabama curiosity with
much interest. 1t may result In a COM
plete vindication OF the much abused
mother in law. We hope 1t will be
80; but. even as We hope. the voices
OF all history. the teaching Of all ex-
perience. tell us that we hope in vain.

A NEW YORK FIRE.

The burning of the fashionable
hotel in New York, the Windsor,
was one of those horrors that start
lie and shock the world occasionally.
A large seven story building crow
ded to the top with guests who are
crowded around the windows view
j g a parade in the streets is sud
denly found to be mass of flames
with many of the avenues of escape
cut off. The guests as a rule lose
their heads and becoming panic
stricken are practically helpless.
Many jumped from the upper stor-
les and few from the roof to the
street below. The horrors of that
gay scene of revelry and mirth sud
denly changed to devastation and
death are simply awful. AT least
sixty people are supposed to be lost.
Helen Gould, that noble type of
American womanhood, whose house
is near the scene of the fire, again
showed to the American people that
a "petted child of fortune" may
have as warm and sympathetic
heart as any one, by throwing open
her doors and asking that the suff-
erers DE brought in and cared for in
her magnificent home. This was
done and many poor sufferers who
had hurled themselves from
upper windows breathed their last
in her luxurious apartments when
everything that love, money and
skill could do was done to relieve
their sufferings.
God bless Helen Gould.

State Auditor Cole has refused to

ney whom Web McNall claimed he
had employed IN some case. Cole
claims, and very justly, that the at
torney general is the proper attorney
in such cases and that if a state Of
ficer employs additional counsel he
must pay for it himself. This is a
little different from Pop rulings; they
never lost chance to rob the treas
ury, under the garb of reform.
