Although the King OF Siam styles
himself a civilized monarch and his
small kingdom has been undergoing a
regencrating process, the traveller In
that strange country will still find
relics Of barbarism. Among the most
curious practices still In vogue are
those for the punishment of criminals.
Executions are Of frequent occur
renee, and the method Of execution Is
interesting, although revolving In de-
tail. The locality mostly used for this
purpose Is situated in valley a short
distance from Bangkok. Morning Is
the time generally selected, when
crowds of natives may he seen NOV
Ing toward the spot, arrayed In their
gayest colors, and one would imagine
that some pleasant and enjoyable fete
was about to be held. The assembled
thousands, arrived at the scene Of ac-
ton, chant merrily and bet among them
selves as to whether the executioner
will cut his mans head off at one blow.
The executioner Is dressed in red rags
and armed with large "dah." or
sword.
after a procession through the streets
of the city, in which the unfortunate
victim is compelled to carry the weap-
on which Is to take his life, the caval-

Always True to It's Pledges.

With the coming session Of Congress,
when the Republicans will have control
of both houses, the people may expect
an intelligent effort to reach and con-
troll the trusts and combines. 1t Is
somewhat doubtful under the limita-
tions of the Constitution, which have
reserved to the States certain sover-
eign rights, whether an effective ma
tional measure can be enacted. But
the people may rest assured that the
effort will be made, for the Republican
party never betrays its pledges.-Kan-
sas City Journal.

Hard Blow for saIoonkeepcr..

The Supreme Court has dealt the sa-
loonkeepers of the State hard blow, In
an opinion in a case brought to test the
validity of the ordinance of the city of
Holland. which imposes license fee Of
$500 on retail liquor dealers above the
$500 State tax. The court holds that 1t is
entirely within the province of cities and
villages to exact an additional license.
This opinion opens a very wide channel for
cities and villages of the State desiring to
crush out saloons.

As spring advances the outlook for
peaches grows brighter. One Of the most
prominent South Haven growers Is 90
confident OF a fair crop that he has made
a bet or 500 that he will harvest $4,000
baskets this season. His usual crop is
about 10000 baskets. The trees which
looked very badly month ago are put
ting on far more healthful look, the
wood-is losing some of the dark color
which frightened them so much at first,
and live buds on many of the varieties
are plentiful. Some say they will have
to thin their peaches. but large crop Is
not looked for by most growers.

STATE GOLF LEAGUE PROBABLE

| Meeting Here To-Day to Discuss Plans of Organization.
 A meeting of representatives of the golf clubs from the various parts of state is to be held at the New Haven house, this city, to-day to take prelimi- nary steps towards the organization of state golf league. As yet the arrange ments toward the formation of such an association have not progressed to any material extent. The meeting is called for the purpose of discussing the mat ter, but it is already assured that the movement will receive sufficient sup port from the delegates present to car ry the project to successful conclu- sion. The intention is to form state league which will send players to the national golf tournament.
 The majority of the clubs about the state which are well known have ses lected delegates to attend the meeting, and it is expected that the majority of the golfing organizations will be repre- sented. As far as can be learned the majority of the players throughout the state are very enthusiastic over the prospects, for they realize the advant- ages of such an organization, the pur- pose of which will be to promote the interests of golf.
 Since its introduction here several years ago the ancient Scottish game has become very popular It has su- perseded tennis. and the former devotees of that game have been won over to what to them is new sport. Golf has many advantages. In the first place the exercise derived from a round of the links is not violent, as is tennis, but is inyigorating and healthful, for the player is constantly moving about in the open air, and it is a we'll estab blsh- ed fact that walking is one of the most healthful exercises. In playing golf arms are also used to a considerable extent driving the ball about the open field over which the course has been laid out.
 Representatives are expected to be present at to-day's meeting from the clubs in Greenwich, Hartford, Water bury New Britain and other places about the state to aid in the work of forming state association. The dele gates from the New Haven Golf club are J. T. Whittlesey, John Reid, jr, tn- tercollegiate champion, and Walter B. Smith.
