SAYS EARTH LIS BOUND
AND HE MAY BE THROWN INTO
PRISON.
snd Condition OF Affairs In England
Cir John Gorst Accused Of Intention
to Teach False Preospts-Uity OF Ports
mouth Excited

1t Is painful to read that Sir John
Gorst, the head Of the British eduea-
tional department, is In serious trouble
and has been threatened by Mr.. Eben-
ezer Breach and other taxpayers of the
city Of Portsmouth, IN the kingdom OF
England, with prosecution under the
"fmposters' act" It seems that the
schools Of Portsmouth have been teach
ing the damnable and heretical doc
trine that the earth is Q sphere. Sir
Johns attention has been called to this
dissemination OF seditious and trea-
sonable doctrine, but he has refused to
correct the abuse. Ebenezer and his
friends know, OF course, that the earth
Is as nat Hs pancake. They have
been patient with Sir John, and day
after day have allowed the false teach
Ing regarding the shape of the earth
to go on, but can stand it no longer,
they say, to see their children corr
rupted with this most theoretical doc
trine," As the complalnants call 1t in
this protest. Sir John Gorst has many
political enemies, and even his politi-
cal friends do not always agree with
him; but the depth OF his depravity was
not known until he was unrnasked by
Mr.. Ebenexer Breach and his friends.
Sir John may cavort about parliament
and deceive some people, but when he
runs up against body OF respectable
British taxpayers, the bulwarks OF the
throne and the guardians Of the eonsti,
tuition, It IL another matter. Such new
tangled ideas as that Of the earth be-
Tag sphere he may impose upon the
frivolous persons who riot in the I'M
cody city of London, but not upon the
taxpayers of Southampton. Ebenezer
and his friends mean business, and
have served formal notice upon the
Portsmouth school board that the
teaching that the earth Is sphere
cannot be allowed to continue under
any circumstances, plea or explanation
whatever" and that It must be aban
doned under pain Of the punishment
for schiBn by the law provided" After
having stamped out the dastardly doc
trine In the schools Of Southampton.
the committee announce that they will
next go up to London and bring the
London school board before the courts.
being well advised and informed that
the same doctrine regarding the shape
OF the earth is also taught in the Lon
don schools. Sir John, meantime. is
to be brought to court and prosecuted
under the ''imposters' act" aforesaid.
Now, the 'imposters' act" Is a part OF
the British constitution, probably
no one knows what Is. and what Is
not part Of that nebulous thing and
provides certain pains and penalties,
Euch as forfeiture OF estate and burning
at the stake, If recalcitrant Ebenezer
and his friends are worthy and reputa-
BILE citizens and mean business. II
necessary they will light the fires OF
Smithfield again for the wicked Sir
John. At last accounts Sir John was
still at large. and SO was Ebenezer.

The general, in a white hat, was

Several soldiers rushed into the yard,

afterward turned out that this rife

Suddenly the Filipino made a run for
life. He got through the hedge some
way and dashed across an open lot.
Three shots followed, ali OF which
took effect. The wounded man turned

the ground, and second after was

A MUMMY MYSTERY.

.-onaalne Eouuo OF woman OF Gigantic
Proportions
There has just come into the pos
session Of the Historical society OF
Kansas most interesting and remark
ab,e relic OF tho days when giants trod
the earth. The relic consists OF the
mummified body OF woman OF gigan-
tic proportions, In whose arms are
claspcd the remains OF an infant. The
bodies were found in q cave In the Yo-
semitic valley. There was no clew to
the age Of the mummy, and SO far no
authority on archaeological subjects has
been bold enough to 60 on record with
an opinion regarding the probable time
In the earth's history when the mother
and babe were living beings. The In
formation SO far gathered Is somewhat
meagor, although those most interested
In the matter are doing their best to
arrive at some plausible theory. Hero
IS the signed statement of the histori-
cal society, which throws as much light
On the subject as 1t is possible to obtain

matters OF this kind are uncertain as
to the probable origin Of the relic.

thin piece OF buckskin. badly worn
and frayed about the edges, covering
the head like q hood. and enveloping
the greater part Of the body. 1t seems
to have been divided below the knee

A correspondent writing In The

India, are larger and moro magnificent

season are incomparably finer than
Niagara in every respect. Tho roar of
the falling waters is simply terrific;
the whole earth shakes, and the thun-
