WHERE SLAVES GOT RELIGION.

Minneapolis Tribune: Jimtown is not
on the new map of Missouri. Before the
war it was the only suburb Of st. Joseph.
1t was a stone building back in the woods
from the big road. At certain seasons it
was occupied five days in the week as a
schoolhouse. 1t was for rent on Sunday
to any denomination that wanted it for
church purposes.
But the original purpose of the building
was to nave a place to onver negroes
who were hired out by their owners.
There We're several plantations in that
neighborhood, or which negroes from
Virginia and Maryland were colonized.
A few men owned nearly all the slaves in
the county, and let them to people who
were not financially able to own such

one Of the most tragic of recent years.
She was, as Princes Regina AValos, the
most beautiful and richly endowed girl
IN southern Italy, and was brought up
by an aunt, whose violence of temper was
so great that on one occasion she shot
dead one of her bailiffs, in the presence
of her niece, for an act of fancied in
c1Villty. Regina was as unlucky in love
as in her guardian, for on the very morn
ing on which she vas to marry a young
and noble naval officer he was found
dead in his apartments with a bullet in
his brains. Soon afterward she married
the Duke OF Carracciola, who, after in
duclng her to leave all her vast fortune to
him, brutally poisoned her. For his das-
tardly crime he is now serving a sentence
of 10 years penal servitude.
One of the most notable of Spanish con-
victs is the Marquis Varela, who is under
going a life sentence for the murder of his
mother.
In the penitentiary at Elberfield, in
Germany, one of the aristocratic convicts
is young Count S%chleinitz, son of the
World-famous count who was for so
many years the trusted counselor of the
German Emperor, William I. The young
count was following in the footsteps to
positions of honor, and was employed at
court as equerry and chamberlain.
Three years ago the editor of a Berlin
newspaper was arrested on the very sert-
Gus charge of matchmaking, and from the
evidence produced at his trial it was ap-
parent that he had a confederate in Count
Schleinitz, who supplied the editor with
private information about his own family
and friends. on whom blackmail was
levied, the two conspirators dividing their
shameful spoil between them.
Another man of high rank who is IA
miliar with the inside of more than one
prison was not long ago, on the point of
marrying a very wealthy lady in New
j., York, when it was discovered that he was
an e~x-convict who had served two years
in a German p~enitentiary and six months
in a French prison for frauds of a very
mean character, and had also been ar
retsed in England for similar offense.

A Bicycle Boat For
The English Channel
THE LATEST INVENTION OF A FoLKEsToNE GENIUS WHO HOPES TO
COMPETE WITH THE GRMAN BOAT.

London, July 1.-THE channel sticks in
England's throat! 1t is SO exasperatins
to have a sheet of water stretching out
before you so rough that you dare not
breast it except upon a big steamer or the
most reliable yacht.
English SpOrtsmen are always expert
menting with channel boats and each
year they believe they have found some
thing.
The latest channel invention is not des-
tined to work great transformations in
the methods of channel travel. nor to
greatly affect commerce.. 1t is in truth
only a new bit of sport ing life let into
the present craze for the water.
A Folkestone inventor has rugged up a
cycle boat Upon which he declares it viii
be possible to cross the hanne in II
hours. A days trip Of easy working on
the water will bring you from Dover,
which is only a short distance north OF
Folkestone, to Calais. The boat. which
looks uncommonly like a row boat, ear
be worked like a tandem. making the
weight which the operator must push
much less. The movement is exactly SIM
liar to the pedal movement of a bicycle:
each downward push causing the paddle
wheel to revolve and propelling the boat
forward.
the strength and rapidity Of the push;
and this depends pom practice and the
muscle of a mans legs.
Tandem bicycling across the English
channel should be great fun. 1t has been

CONNECTS WHO WORE PURPLE.

That crime is by no means the "prerog-
alive of the poor is proved by the fact
that there are today no fewer than 5000
aristocrats undergoing sentences in the
prisons Of the civilized world. In Rus
STA alone the aristOcratic convicts num-
Der 1000, an army of blue-blooded pris-
Oners which would stretch in single file,
at intervals of a yard, a d stance of near
ly seven miles, and would take two hours
to pass a saluting point.
In Italy, too, the aristocracy is repre-
scented in the gaols by thousands of its
members, men who through pride or if
norance cannot earn honest livlngs by
work, and, having exhausted their for
tunes by extravaganza, prey on their
fellows for their own support. These men
range in rank from princes and dukes to
young scions OF impoverished and now
obscure noble families.
In one of the Belgian penitentiaries a
prince and serene highness is undergoing
. long sentence Of solitary confinement

tried by Chicot up the Rhine with much
success; but unfortunately, every at
tempt to send the bicycle boat across the
channel has proved unsuccessful. Just
off Folkestone, on the first attempt, a
storm came up and drenched the riders
SO that they out back to port for personal
repairs. The second trip resulted in a
chain breaking, quite a bicyclistic ex-
perience, and the third, which should
rave been successful, was brought to a
sudden end by the ~indisposition of one
OF the passengers, for the boat carries
IVA persons besides the Wheelmen.
There may soon be a motor boat Oper-
ated like the automobile cabs. But that
is some way off. The electric launches
are propelled on a different and more ex
pensive principle.
This bicycle boat is quite inexpensive,
1t costs 5000 for the machinery, and in
addition to this the cost Of the row-boat
which may run from $50 up to $500, ac-
cording to the woods. The FolkeStone
boat cost $3.50.
The idea is an advance one for Henley
mex year. If the boat can be operated
successfully, and if other boats can be
built, and the German boat can be in
duced to come to Henley, then there can
be a new exhibition of aquatic sport al
this famous water course.
The motion is one that could be inl-
tated by any machinist, who will readily
see by what simple art the wheels Of the
paddle can be made to go around in ODE
dience to the pushing down of the pedals
that connect With the paddles. The
strength required is, upon smooth water.
about equal to that required for pushing
a tandem up a very slight incline. 1t does
not run of itself, like a tandem upon g
perfectly level plane, but 1t requires only
the slightest push. AS for the sport, it is
great. With each push comes the splash

blue.

+, His full title is: His Serene Highness
Prince Charles Looz ct Coswarem. and he
is the descendant of a long line of ducal
of King Chales ". of Spain.
Two of the life convicts in the famous
Italian prison La Maddalena are w
brothers, Dukes of Notarbartolo, who
committed one of the most cowardly
murders in the whole history Of crime. A
young artillery captain, an officer of
great promise. whose only crime was that
his birth was plebian. had dared to fall
in love with the beautiful sister of the
two dukes. and for this presumption they
decided to murder him. They cultivated
his friendship and affected to take the
most sympathetic interest in his suit.
When his suspicious were quite disarmed
they invited him to dine with them, and,
as he leaving the table after a sumptu-
Gus dinner. in which wine and good
wishes had circulated freely, they
stabbed him in the back and threw his
lifeless body out of the window. At the
trial it was discovered that these high
born murderers We're leading members
of the Malta" one of the leagues of MUIR
derers and blackmailels that terrorize
Europe, and that for years they had lived
acter.
A companion convict in the Maddlena
is the Duke of Caracciola, the representa-
tive of one Of the noblest houses in Italy,
who's ecrime was almost worse than that
of the Dukes of Notarbartolo. The story
of the young wife whom he murdered is

broidered flowers. If she prefers, she can
write the names with India ink and orna-
ment the whole programme with en-
broidery. Others will paint them. Funny
programmes can be made by cutting cap
ital letters out of the and
FASTING them on a big sheet of paper and
afterwards decorating with newspaper
pictures. There is really no limit to what
can be done in the line of decorative pro-
grammes.
After the luncheon the guests are in
vited out upon the lawn or into the dra W.
ing room and the programmes, which
have previously been collected, are dis
tributed, no guest getting his own. The
result is something very odd and pleas
ant. Try it.

songs and fancy dancing. The hostess
arranges this matter and when she has
secured her talent she sends out her invi-
tations with an r. S. V. P. upon them. AS
soon as a guest responds she is furnished
with a few simple lines which tell her
that Miss White is to sing, Miss Black to
%recite, and Miss Green has a poem to
read.
Then comes the feature of the talent
luncheon. The guest is expected to pre-
pare a fancy programme setting forth
the entertainment.
If she be a woman talented with the
needle, she will embroider the names and
the numbers upon a piece of white satin
ribbon, and will decorate all with en-

A TALENT

The talent luncheon is the very new
est thing of the season. It is absolutely
unique, and the one who first gives such
a one in this city can enjoy the honor of
having originated something unheard Of
in her set.
N The talent luncheon originated this
summer in Paris, in the art students
quarter, where there is always something
to be noted.
The mode of giving the luncheon is not
so very different from others. 1t is a sit
down affair.
The table may be dressed according to
taste, and the usual viands set forth. But
the novelty lies in the programmes, which
are homemade.
The talent luncheon calls for an enter

A COTTON MILL.
A Rhode Island Company's
Proposition TO n Texas
Town.

The Eagles articles on the sub
ject Of a cotton mill have attracted
the attention Of q reader Of this
paper at Hubbard City, Texas,
who writes as follows:
"The business men Of this town
are now considering and investi-
eating a proposition by a Rhode
Island company to put up a small
cotton factory here-one Of 1000,
1000 or 5000 spindles. The prop.
osition is for the town, or any mum.
Der of citizens Of the town to put
up the bouse and take two-thirds
interest in the machinery. The
company will take one-third and
furnish an experienced superin-
tsndent TO run il. They say il
will cost about u spindle and a
2OsO spindle factory will employ
about so hands, a 5000 spindle
about 70, and a 5000 spindle about
100 or 1876 hands. The correspond.
ent says there are several such
small plants in that state wanting
to came south. think our people
should begin with such small
plants with the view of charging
as circumstances seem to demand.
Why not Bryan take one?"

Through Trains Resumed.

The heavy bridge washouts be-
tween Bryan and Calvert on the II.
IL t. c. have been repaired and the
first through trains since June %
passed north and south yesterday.
The first train over the line be-
tween here and Hearne was taken
out of the yards here yesterday
morning by Conductor Turner.
The II. & T. C. sustained heavy
losses Of property and business as
result Of the flood. II took an
immense force Of hands working
night and day for over two weeks
to repair their damages in this Sec
ton sufficiently for traing to pass.
II is greatly to the credit of the
management and employees Of the
road that under the perilous condi-
tons during the flood and the try
ing circumstances since It's abate.
ment no accidents have happened
to passengers, employees or trains,
and that too with two through pas
senger trains caught in this section
in the center of the food. Supt.
J. NJ Lee has given greater evil
dence than ever Of his ability and
fitness for the position he holds.
He rose to meet the emergency, a
giant in intellect and energy, re-
maiping with the men in rain and
sun and directing the work in per-
son and through the many capable
men under him on this division.
