The General Assembly will con-
vene on the 9th inst, and the people
are looking forward to our law max
ers to do something to put a quietus
to the everlasting liquor question.
Whether anything will be done re-
mains to be seen. Some politicians
are perfectly content with existing
conditions because it gives them a
a theme to harangue the people, but
the people are tired of this constant
picking on one string, and they ex-
pect our law makers to devise some
plan which will give aspirants for Of
6ce something else besides the liquor
question to talk about. By permit
ting the people to legislate the liquor
business to suit their conditions, the
question is taken out of the halls of
the General Assembly, and matters
of graver importance can be attended
to more properly. If we could get
the liquor question placed into the
hands OF the people Of each county
to determine for themselves, many
days OF the session at $1,000 per day
would be cut of, and the money
saved to the taxpayers. We do not
know just what will be done, but we
10 realize that if the legislators are in
close touch with their constituents,
they know there is much dissatisfac-
ton among them in regard to the
present system OF controlling liquor.
a change is demanded and ought to
come, but whether the present Gen
eral Assembly has the courage to
make the change will be known later.

A Lover of Prison Life.
From the London Telegraph }

II George Edwards, an elderly clerk, of
Bond Street, Vauxhall, possessed what is
called the literary faculty. he would
make an excellent editor of handbook
on the advantages Of Her Majesty's prisons
as health resorts. These are the only places
in which he finds contentment of mind and
good appetite, and he strongly recon-
mends them as an economical substitute for
the Engadine or the Mediterranean. When
a hard hearted governor brutally expels
him from Jail at the expiration of SEN
tence George visibly pines away until a
kind judge sends him back to his iron bar
red Elysium for another term. When not
in Jail he passes his life in stealing coats.
So far as is known. he never steals any
thing else, and is generally caught in the
act. George has been convicted over and
over again. and the happest day Of his life
was when he received the longest impris-
onment-three years. A short sentence al
ways sent him away sad. His last esca-
pade was to steal Colonel Benson's over
coat at Waterloo Station. AT Southwark
he tearfully asked the magistrate to send
him to Jail for period which would enable
him to end his days there in healthy old
age At present he Is only sixtyfour, SO
that for stealing cSat he actually has the
audacity to ask for at least twenty years
penal servitude. He is a veritable gour-
mand for prison life. Mr.. D'Eync5irt was
unable to oblige him. and so handed him to
the sessions, where the judges may be more
disposed to grant his hygienic request.

DESERTED THE FLAG FOR LOVE.
Connecticut Soldier Comes Home
and les Arrested.

WINSTED. Conn, Oct 2S.-The news
has come from across the continent to
William R. Griffen that his son, Walter
Griffen, who was a hero a year ago, is
now deserter and likely to be shot Love
proved stronger than duty with the young
man. For his bride he incurred disgrace
and risked an infamous death.
Walter Griffen had long been in love
with Miss Kitty White. of Lakeville, Conn.
But her father resented 1t, and parental
influence prevailed with the young woman.
When the Spanish-American war began
Griffen enlisted in the Third Connecticut
Volunteers When that regiment was
mustered out Griffen was an important
man. Maybe 1t was a triumph of affection
or an expression Of patriotism that made
Kitty White listen to Griffen. Whatever
the reason. certain it is that they ran away
to Millerton. n. Y, and were married
Griifen felt that the war spirit was still
strong within him. He wanted real SER
vice. So he enlisted in the Thirty fifth
United States Infantry to go to Manila.
But the long delay and the hardships
OF preparation, the journey across the con-
tinent, the prospect of the long voyage
over seas and the separation from his bride
destroyed all sense of soldierly honor and
obligation. Just before the regiment en-
barked at Vancouver, he and another
soldier, Hamilton, deserted They fed in
to Canada, but returned to the limited
States shortly afterward, and Griffen was

Quite the most patriotic Boer and rabid
anti-Briton is a member of the Volksraad,
named Stofel Tosen. This man is rene

maritzburg. Many years ago he deserted
to the Transvaal, and fought for the
Beers in the war Of 1881. His son, the pres

the bill Tosen gravely said that "the word

PIRATES IN NOVA SCOTIA.
Revelations of Crime by n Gang o
Outlaws.

Outlaws.
QUEBEC, Oct. 2S.-When piracy and
| smuggling went out Of fashion century
ago off tie coast of Scotland a piratical
germ was transplanted to the coast Of
Nova Scotia Thre it iourished amazingly
in some districts without interruption from
the authorities.
Recently some OF the gang of pirates who
held the people of Whitehead and Guys
boro in terror have been brought to JUS
| tice, some are behind the bars, and 9TH
ers have turned states evidence.
1t was a difficult task to apprehend the
freebc0ters. Vessels were wrecked and
fishing villages at night and everything
of value from fish to money was stolen;
houses were burned, sometimes from spite
and sometimes to defraud the insurance
companies. The inhabitants of the ter
roriZed district lived in fear of their lives.
The arrest of Perry and Arthur Munro
and Otto n. Feltmate, members of promi-
nent families. and heir conviction for per-
jury and ship scuttling, was the first move
for relief. People breathed easier. But
a greater surprise was to follow.
a few days ago Mrs. Melinda Munro, the
mother of Perry and Arthur Munro. accus-
ed her brother-in- law Enos L. Munro, the
collector of customs at Whitehead. Guys
boro county of having burned the govern
ment buildings at Whitehead. She named
Howard and Cranswick Munro as accom-
plices. Enos Munro, pillar of the church
and model for the young men, Is now be-
hind the bars. His conviction seems GER
tain.
Since Arthur Munro received his SEN
tence OF six years in the penitentiary he
has confessed that with others of the gang
he poured oil on the property of an old
man named Handesber and then set fire
TO it. This crime seems tc have been COM
mitted out Of sheer deviltry.
There have been several mysterious deaths
which, rightly or wrongly, are now laid
at the door OF the pirates. II is certain
that they are indirectly responsible for
the death Of two brothers named Hamil-
ton. who owned vessel that put into
Whitehead owing to stress Of weather.
She had valuable cargo and many pas
sengers aboard. Passengers and crew were
induced by the pirates to sleep on shore,
and while the vessel was deserted the gang
stripped her of cargo and valuables and
slipped her anchors.
Instead of going On the rocks she was
intercepted by a Captain Harris and
brought back. Salvage was demanded
and the Hamiltons could not pay it. They
chartered leaky vessel. intending to make

opinion of the world, and hesitate TO con-

ago it was ridiculed and distrusted under
the name OF mesmerism. The church did
not hesitate to stigmatize it. Now hyp-

That the spirit of prophecy has always
existed is historical. If great Caesar him
self had listened to the soothsayer's cry,

to the Senate chamber, or needed his
wife's dreams, he would not have fallen
at the foot of Pompey's statue with the
mournful cry Eft tu, Brute!
Possibly the cards or tea grounds or
crystals and such accessories of the mod

tration, and self-hypnotism does the rest,
for some scientists admit that in the hyp-
motto state the faculties are exalted"
