widow RERNING

When the English put down widow
burning (SatD in India seventy years
ago, says the London Times, it was
predicted (by European officials as
we'll as by natives) that social disturb
ances would result from so rash an in
reference with an honored and i'm
memorial custom. But John Company
did his duty to humanity and nothing
worse happened than mutterings of
discomfort. Had the English kept pos
session of Java, the pearl of the east
ern archipelago, widow sacrifice would
have been made an end of there long
ago. 1t is a disgrace to the Dutch gov
eminent that this sacrifice. either in
the Hindu form of burning or in the
more horrible form of disembowling, is
permitted to last in the Island of Lo-
mank, administratively part of Java.
The sacrifice described by the Euro
pean eye witness was performed by
the kris, the native dagger. 1t seems
the widows generally choose this mode
of sacrifice in preference to burning
1t is also said that the sacrifice is al
ways voluntary. The same thing used
to be said, and wrongly said, in India.

FRANCES STUART PARKER
WIFE OF COLONEL PARKER DIES
AT CHICAGO.
Was in Honolulu With Her Husband
Last Summer and Delivered Several
Lectures-Her History

The wife of Colonel F. w. Parker, of
the Cooke County Normal school, is
dead. She died at Chicago on April l.
Teachers throughout the entire group
and many outside of the profession,
who heard Mrs. Parker's lectures in
Progress hall last summer, will sin
cerely regret the news of her demise.
The sad news arrived by the steamer
Nippon Maru yesterday. OF Mrs. Par
ker and her work the Chicago Inter
Ocean of April Bird says:
Frances Stuart Parker wife of Col
onel F. w. Parker, superintendent of
the Cook County Normal school, died
at her home yesterday morning after
an illness of more than a year. Mrs
Parker was born fifty years ago in the
city of Boston, and made distinguish
ed name in that city in the work of
education before she was married to
Colonel Parker i'm 1882 At that time
she was teacher of elocution and del
Sarte in the Boston University School
of Oratory and Boston School of Ora
tory. AS an exponent of Delsarte she
was recognized as perhaps the best in
America, and she made noteworthy
contributions to the literature of the
subject. Colonel Parker was, at the
time of his marriage to Francis Stuart,
supervisor of public schools in Boston,
and he and his wife worked together
in the Martha's Vineyard summer
schools. Since coming west Mrs. Par
ker took the keenest interest in all the
educational work in which her hus-
band is engaged, and together they
lectured from the same platform in as
many as thirty states. faVorite sub
ject with Mrs. Parker was that of dress
reform, in which she was associated
with Miss j. Miller. She was the au-
thoress of brochure on dress reform,
entitled, Dress and How to Improve
| 1t. Mrs. Parker was a very successful
| lecturer, largely owing to the charm
| of a fine, thoroughly trained voice. She
was a member of the Chicago Woman's
| club and the first chairman of it's ed
| ucational committee. She was presi-
! dent of the Political Equality League
! of Women and the first president of
| the EngleWood Woman's club She
was likewise a member of the Chicago
| FOrtnightly club. Mrs Parker's two
daughters are Mrs. T. l.. Sheperd OF
| Brooklyn and Mrs. George Rolfe OF
| Cambridge.

Pacific. arrived in Jamestown today
with $50 settlers who were bound for
Wells county. The new settlers are
from points south of Kansas City.
They had farm machinery. furniture
ana stock necessary to commence at

efs.
\ special train brought the settlers
from st. Iaul over the Northern paci-
tic. y train was made up here and
went north to SykestOn and CARING
ton where the new corners will locate.
Mr.. Daugherty will bring three coach
loads of settlers from Chicago next
week. He finds very little difficulty
in %pursuading people to leave the arid
plains of Kansas for the rich and fruit
full fields of North Dakota.
The Northern Pacific. 500 and Great
Northern have Il special one-way
blanket rate Of S., which is consider
ably less to many points than the half
local rates which these roads are now
obliged by the rate troubles, to use
every day. The homeseekers num-

enormous Immigrant business which
the transcontinental lines are carrying
every day on the rate war rates.

EVADE THE LAW.
Insurance Company Tries a New Dodge
to Evade the Provisions of the In
surance Law.

Commissioner Of Insurance Harri-
son has received a number Of COM
plants from insurance men and farm
ers in various parts Of the state of the
operations Of an Investment COM
pany" that is doing an insurance bus
mess under a contract and sale scheme
and thus endeavoring to evade the law
requiring insurance companies to be
authorized to do business in the state.
The commissioner has received copies
of the forms and contracts used by the
company in question. The contract
is for the purchase Of the crop Of a
farmer before it is grown, and in case
Of destruction by hail or other ele-
ments, the company takes the crop
and pays the stipulated price therefor.
1t will be seen that it is practically an
insurance scheme, although the matter
of insurance is not mentioned in the
contract. The commissioner has laid
the matter before the attorney gen
eral and steps will be taken to compel
the company to comply with the insur-
ance law or quit attempting to do bus
mess in this state.

The Hon. John p. Bray, consul gen

it's readiness to purchase hides and
skins without limit. "Our trade rela-

from the fact that Australian imports
