AS the result of experience acquired in
the late war with Spain the United States
naval authorities have decided in future
to paint their battle-ships a dead gray
color with yellowish shade. This mix
ture is said to approximate most nearly
to the color of rock and of the obscure
horizon.

by the jury. This did not satisfy the pub

men for the murder of Mcintyre. He
was again placed before a jury and found
guilty, with the penalty fixed at death.
1t was the desire of Majors. counsel to
have the second trial come off in Oak

strong. 1t availed him nothing. for the
Alameda County jury sentenced him to

Near Cumberland

Sheriff Casey Makesa Peculiar Arrest
Near Cumberland.
Special to the Register.
Cumberland, Md, May 2S.-Sheriff
Casey yesterday arrested a wild man
cut in the country and brought him
here and placed him in Jail. He is
a most remarkable specimen of human
ity. When arrested he was wallowing
in mud hole like hog. He refuses
to stand erect and walks ON all tours.
When arrested by the officer he refused
to sit on the buggy seat, but rode all
doubled up. He cannot be induced to
speak a word. His hair is long and
unkempt, and his skin as red as blood.
He was examined by the county physi-
clan, who is puzzled at the mans queer
conduct. The physician thinks he is
playing possum.

THE WlFE'S PROMISE.
BY Mrs. Campbell.

BY Mrs. Campbell.
All Women's Suffragists claim the
right of a wife to her own person and
property; in fact, to be legally as free
in all things as is the husband; con-
sequently, nearly all of them deprecate
the wife's promise of obedience in the
marriage ceremony. For this they are
denounced by the Church as inculcat-
ing disobedience to divine command,
for had not Paul said: "Wives, obey
your husbands?'' But the clergy do
not now reiterate all of Paul's injunc-
lions. They did often in the anti
slavery agitation quote what they now
ignore, such as: Servants, obey your
masters in all things" to perpetuate
slavery. Nor do they often quote his
command to submit to those appoint
ed to rule over you,' for that would
continue any despotism, however in
tolerable it might be.
Paul was Jew, and imbued with
all the prejudices of his people. Their
ancient estimate of women may be seen
in the thirty-first chapter of Numbers,
when the Israelites made war upon the
Midianites, and captured immense
spoils-so many thousand sheep, and
so many thousand beeves and asses,
and $4,000 women and children,
dividing them amongst the warriors.
Mrs. Stanton thinks there should have
been Stead, then, to have given Moses
a lecture upon his abominable atrocity
in delivering these helpless women
children over to his savage soldiery for
worse than british purposes.
Women were considered as property
by both Jew and Gentle nations.
Then, good round price had to be
paid for wife. Jacob became Laban' s
hired man for seven years to get one
Of his daughters, and then the old
man played mean trick and palmed
off upon Jacob an ugly daughter that
he didn't want. But, with praisewor-
thy constancy, Jacob worked for Laban
seven years more to get the girl he
loved. But, at last, he got even with
his father-in-law, and shrewdly reim-
fbursed himself by means of his super
ior knowledge Of the influence of prem
atal Impressions
But in modern days. either because
women are intrinsically of less value,
or from over-production of them, they
are now given away" except among
savage tribes, where they seem to re-
tain their original value. The price
paid at the latest sale reported was 40
broncho ponies. To be sold for such
a large sum might fatter the vanity of
woman, but to be regarded as so
valueless as to be given away must be
the depth of humiliation. 1t is beyond
my comprehension how any intell-
gent, self-respecting woman can sub
| nit to this semblance of her former
degradation, that of being a mere chat
tel, to be disposed of as any other
commodity. And then her promise to
obey, thus perpetuating her former
condition of servitude and subsection.
Few women make this promise. ex-
cept in Pickwickian sense, mere
meaningless form: thus, thoughtlessly
and immorally. though without evil
intent, impairing the idea of the sacred
and abiding nature of marriage VOWS.
