A MISSOURI NOTION.

How to deal with the lynching prob
lem is question which Is disturbing
several States of this Union The plan
which has found favor with the Mis-
souri, legislature provides that when a
sheriff or other officer has in custody a
prisoner whose life is threatened by a
mob, and the officer becomes convinced
that he cannot successfully defend the
prisoner, it shall be his duty to give the
man a thirty-elght- calibre revolver and
fifty rounds Of ammunition and tell him
that it is his right under the law to de-
fend himself, the officer affording him
every opportunity to do SO. Any officer
failing to take such action under the
circumstances described shall be pun
ished by fine and a forfeiture of his
office. The ground taken by the advo-
Gates of this law is that every citizens
right to defend his life is sacred until
after due process of law he has been
found guilty Of a capital offense and
even then he has a right to defend his
life against every attack except by the
State
OF course such a law Is a confession
of weakness in the government and an
indication of bad and dangerous state
of public opinion, though it has the
merit of giving man some show
against those who would murder him.
But could such a law be enforced in
States where lynching Is popular?
Would officers obey such law any bet
ter than they do the laws which in
MANY cases have not had any effect in
them to try to protect those
threatened with lynching?

1t Is the opinion of DR.. Henry M.
Wetherill Of Philadelphia, an expert on
insanity and member of the Pennsyl-
vania Board of Charities, that insanity
Is on the decrease. Although the hos
pitfalls for the insane in Pennsylvania
are overcrowded the increase in the
number of insane patients last year
was less by some hundreds than it was
for the year previous. This improve
ment is ascribed by DR.. Wetherill to
change in the habits of the American
people. "In ancient times" he says,
insanity was practically unknown ex-
cept as the result of epilepsy or bodily
injury; for instance, a fracture of the
lived simple life and did not have
to worry much about their bread and
butter. In our days overwork and the
excitement and high pressure of mod
ern life are the main cause of insani-
ty. But that great improvement over
these conditions is taking pltce nobody
can deny. The Americans seem at last
to have come to their senses. They
are beginning to be reasonable in work
and play alike. The tendency to over
do either is gradually disappearing,
and that will have more influence in
emptying the asylums for the insane
than anything else / can think Of"

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. p1UNDER.

| No wonder the people of Newfound-
land are sick of their one-sided bargain
with Contractor Reid. They were GER
| tainly good to Mr. Reid. He was the
, contractor who built the Transinsular
railroad. He agreed with the govern
| ment to operate the whole railroad of
$50 miles, at his own expense for a term
of fifty years, as from 1893, paying ST.
900, 900 cash to the government and re-
ceiving a subsidy from the government
of $500 acres of land per mile. At the
end of the term of fifty years, and on
the payment of a further $6000,000, the
railroad was to become his own prop
erty. He also agreed to purchase st.
Johns dock and the government tele-
graph system for cash payment of
100000, undertaking to improve the
dock, to cheaper the rates of the tele-
graph system and to build eight mail
steamers for the coast service, receiving
subsidy of 100000 for thirty years on
this account. The land granted to him
included large coal areas, which he
bound himself to work mining not less
than $4,000 tons a year and paying to
the government royalty of ten cents
ton; also pulp and lumber mills and
copper and other minerals The con-
tract was approved by the Newfound-
land Legislature by large majorities in
both houses.
The British colonial secretary refuses
to help the colony out of its bargain by
annuling the contract, and the prospect
is that Mr.. Reid will be able to hold
on to one of the softest Snaps" that
any man has ever had Newfoundland
ought to have applied for conservator
before she made the bargain.

ONCE MORE.

During the last few years that famous
and inquisitive Chinaman Lii Hung
Chang has most of the time been either
upon the point of going out of power
or upon the point of returning to power.
So 1T is not at all surprising to read
a dispatch from Pekin which says he
Is now upon the point of returning to
power. Good luck to the willy old chap.
He has had as many ups and downs as
an old-fashioned churn, and he has
managed to save a head which is well
worth saving. We hope he will return
to power and not be soon upon the point
of going out of power. We don't know
how he stands just now as to his pea
cock feather and his yellow jacket, but
we hope that his feather is allowed to
wave DER him and his jacket to CLEAN
round him.

Here Is trick that simplides diff
Guilty of hairdressing. 1t Is in that por-
ton of the pompadour that is behind
the ears. Ali the hair that is to be used
for the putting about head and face
should be a length shorter than that
used for the coil. Take the long hair
and arrange 1t either at the top of the
head or half way down the back, and
leave all the puff hair hanging. The
latter should be separated from the coil
locks by part that runs around the
head, outlining the section where the
long hair grows in the shape of a tom
sured crown.
If you still incline to the central part
make that and gather together all the
puff hair at the back under the coil
Draw it all evenly, so that there is a
continuous puff all around the head
Next roll the ends under and secure the
top by back comb just under the coil.
If you want the all-around pompadour
then it is necessary to separate from
the rest of the front hair just the CEN
trail portion and puff that back, turn
ing under the ends and securing them,
either under the top of the coil or by a
comb. Then draw back the
rest, being careful that no parting
shows at the sides of central or fore
head puff. The glossy puff is preferred
to the curly or fluffy one, and the nat
ural wave produced by binding the hair
at night with tapes is considered the
prettiest. FLORETTE.

According to the Textile World the
khaki which is to be used largely in
the United States army and navy is a
cotton cloth made, or, rather, finished
by a secret process. Large contracts
have been given to a New York firm
for it's production for use in making
field uniform coats and trousers. There
is no difficulty in the fabricat ton of the
cloth on the loom, the important feature
Of it's manufacture being in the finish
ing, which is designed to make it more
or less waterproof. The New York firm
engaged in the production restricts it
self to the secret process of finishing,
obtaining the fabric from different
mills.

1t appears that Spirits" can be too
previous as well as human beings. The
news of General Sherman's death
reached Washington in the afternoon
and the correction did not arrive until
half past s, when many people were
housed for the evening. At a spiritual
fet1c meeting in private house there
that evening the spirit of John Sher-
man signified it's presence, and, on being
welcomed, proceeded to deliver mes
sage on a slate and the handwriting
was easily recognized as Sherman's. He
announced change of views as to the
money question, but had not grown any
warmer in his devotion to the leading
elements in Ohio politics.

A writer in the Politische Correspon-
DEM Of Vienna, denying current re-
ports about the Cars health, says:
The Emperor Nicholas is one of the
most assiduous workers of the Russian
rulers Of this century, comparable in
this respect only with his great-grand-
father, Nicholas L., and his father,
Alexander III. He is, indeed, the most
laborious and exact functionary of his
empire, and devotes the better part of
the day to state affairs and representa-
five duties. 1t is common saying at
the Russian court that the Car takes
the Emperor Francis Joseph as his
model, fact which implies the perfec-
tion of the sense of duty.

The latest in the way of arrests for
insults to German officials of standing
has Just been decided in court During
a public meeting at Dedensen a speaker
remarked that the "schoolmaster of the
voting district appeared to be much
interested in The compromising Gandi-
dacy of the national liberal party.
Teacher Woehler, who was present, re-
ported that he had been insulted $50
worth, and the court granted him that
amount of damages. When taken to
the higher court in Hanover the report
of the lower court was sustained, for
the reason that the word "schoolmaster"
without any additional words was to be
considered an insult when spoken in
public, as it certainly injured the feel
ings of teacher, who was accustomed
to be characterized, not as "Schulmeis-
ter" but as der Herr Lehrer."

C~ANCUBANS GOVERN THEM

One of the best known di~plomatists re-
Gently declared that the Cubans are in
capab!c of governing themselves, and
thet the United States must maintain its

the island. There will be those who viii
dispute this, but there are none who dis
pute the we'll established fact that Hos
letters Stomach Bitters is capable Of
controlling the common diseases Of the
stomach. IT is a remedy that is backed
by fifty years of success. 1t is an ideal
medicine for c~onstipation; a strength
builder for those who are predisposed to
lung troubles, and for nervousness it is of
wonderful benefit. AS an appetizer it is
incompatible. Those whose stomachs are
out Of order should not fail to try a bot
