Locusts Good to Eat.

All native African races eat locusts.
With many it takes, and has to take.
the place of the British workman,s
beef and mutton. In good many vii
lagos sun dried locusts are an article Of
commerce. The Sudanese are particn-
larly fond of them.
Before they are eaten they are toast
ed. The wings and legs having first
been torn off, the long, soft body and
the crisp head form the delicacy.

prejudices influence me, but to give
the dish of grilled locusts a fair trial.

enjoyed them plus wild honey.
The one l was eating was rather
nice. agreed with my Arab servant

BY the time I was eating the Sec
ond locust it seemed to me absurd
why one should have sort of lurking

felt convinced that should get tired

At dinner party the other day
well known and deservedly popular
dramatist took lady down to dinner,
neither knowing who the other was.
AS subject the theater was started,
as it is so often under similar circum-
stances.
II can't think why they have reviv-
ed that piece at the Kings" the lady
said. 81 never liked it, and it's SO
worn that I should have done better
than that?"
YES" the dramatist replied, "per-
haps so. 1t was one of my first pieces
however, and had not had much ex-
perience when wrote it, Let's change
the subject"
The lady was quite ready to do SO
and wished, no doubt, that she had
known who her neighbor was. He
presently said:
Are you interested in the Fenton
case?" speaking of cause celebre
that was in progress.
Yes. I've read all the evidence"
was the reply.
Hell lose it, Of course" the drama
fist went on. HE never could have
had the faintest chance from the first.
It's marvel to me how any lawyer
could have been idiot enough to allow
such case to go into courtY'
"Well," answered the. lady quietly,

There is something peculiar about

stream" said Captain Gray, who has
been running boats on the big Alaska
artery. From the mouth Of the Yukon
up as far as there is any navigable-
water the stream is constantly sing
Ing. No matter where you are, there
is sound like that made by escaping
steam. At first used to think that
maybe it came from the boiler or en-
gines. But when we were tied nm at
night, with everything cold, the sound
was the same. have puzzled nv
brain to find an explanation of the
phenomenon, but without avail. The
singing goes on day and night.
When you get up stream some dis
lance, you can also hear the rocks
rolling over the bed of the river. and
this produces most peculiar sound. -

TAMMANY IN A NEW ROLE.

For side-splitting farce comedy,
the picture of Tammany doing the
reform act in New York City is
certainly the hit of the season.
Suddenly, after years of suprem-
acy, Mr.. Croker has awakened to
the fact that crime and vice are
rampant in the city of New York.
Solemnly he has called his braves
into council and has confded to
them that for strict puritanical
principles and the straight laced
observance of morality and order,
/ Tammany hall is in future to stand
as great apostle. 1t is no won
der that the petty chiefs stood
aghast at such an absolute reversal
Of all the past policies of that or
ganization, that is, they would
have stood aghast had they not
known that this sudden inundation
of morality was but a cheap politi-
cal trick forced upon Mr.. Croker
by the fearful conditions at which
he, himself, has connived in New
York City.
With solemn visage he informs
the braves that shonesty is the
best policy" and it can confidently
be stated that he should know for
he has tried both policies; at least
he has tried the dishonest policy
and states that he is about to en-
bark upon an honest one. Even
our most partisan democratic
friends do not attempt to maintain
that Tammany is not corrupt and
corrupting institution. 1t is the
boast OF Tammany that it has COM
plete control of the city of New
York; it is its boast that it has
given clean streets, and, in its
vainer moments, it is wont to COM
pare itself with Paris and Lon
don, and to hold itself up as an ex-
ample of purity. If the contention
of Tammany that it has absolute
control of New York City is true,
with that control must also 60 the
responsibility for whatever evils
exist. Just as our democratic
friends attached blame to the ad.
ministration because corrupt of.
fetal stole postal funds in Cuba,
so must Tammany stand response
BILE for the general and prevailing
vice that exists on the east side of
New York today. There is only
one principle under which we can
understand the effectiveness of
Tammany in its moral reform and
that is the old saying, "that it
takes a thief to catch a thief.
There are some corrupt men in
the republican party; no party can
claim monopoly on all the virtue
and all the honesty of the nation,
but we are glad that the republican
party has no Tammany for which
to blush, no corrupt ring of organ
lied bribe-takers who in large
measure control the party's destiny.
If democracy could divest itself of
three things it might stand before
the American people with some
show of grace. First it must cut

MOB VS.. LAW.
At Limon, Colorado, last wee

MUD w. LA w.
At Limon, Colorado, last week
a young negro was burned to death
in revenge for the atrocious outrage
and murder of young girl. 1t is
difficult to imagine more revolt
ing crime than that for which this
man met death and there is no
question but that death was the
proper penalty for him to pay.
The fire by which the murderer
was burned to death was lighted
by the father of his victim. This
case has unfortunately been paral-
leled at many times and in many
cases. We cannot find it in our
hearts to strongly condemn the
father of the outraged and muir
dered girl. The unusual and re-
prehensible phase of the Colorado
case was the open completely of
the officers of the law. The negro
was in Jail in Denver; the people
of Limon demanded that he be
brought back, not for trial but to
be lynched. The sheriff went to
Denver and demanded the prisoner
knowing as moral certainty that
he would be lynched as soon as he
was returned to Limon. The Den
yer authorities turned the prisoner
over to him and they too knew the
purpose of the people of Limon
and that it would be carried out.
The governor Of Colorado was
asked to interfere to save, not the
criminal, but the good name of the
state and he refused. There never
was more deliberate completely
in an outrage against law and or
der than that of the Governor, the
peace officers and the people of
Colorado and for this completely
they cannot be too severely con-
demned. We do not believe there
was anything of race hatred in this
affair, we believe that had the
criminal been white his fate would
have been the same. We are glad
to believe this but it does not les
sen the enormity of the ofense.
The authorities of Colorado will
doubtless claim that the effect of
such an awful example will be sal
utary and that such crimes will be
lessened by summary and terrible
vengeance. Granting that this
may be true is it not also the case
that this action of the governor of
Colorado and the peace officers will
encourage mob law? A mob is
not deliberative body; it is mere
chance whether it is right or
wrong. In this case it may be that
the penalty, awful as it was, was
no greater than the crime, but how
about the next case2 What guar
antee is there that the mob will be
right another time? And if the
mob is not right will not its actions,
encouraged by the acquiesence of
the authorities in the present case,
be directly attributable to those
authorities and will not the blood
be upon their heads? The ques-
ton is not one of unfolding crime,
it does not even involve censure
upon the father of the victim, it is
a cold blooded proposition as to
whether or not any state can afford
to connive at placing the DISPOSE
ton of justice in the hands of a
mob. Mobs and courts cannot CO.
exist, one or the other must fall
into disgrace and disrepute. So

long as men have passions so long
will violent outbreaks such as the
one at Limon occasionally occur,
but at no time can the state or its
peace officers afford to connive at
or encourage these disorders either
passively or actively.

A Baltimore (Md:) special Of
Sunday says: "Not q cigarette
or Seidlitz powder could be bought
in Baltimore to-day. For the
first Sunday in many every cigar
store, corner grocery, bakery and
the like were closed up tight. Few
drug stores kept open, those that
did displaying placards informing
the public that the soda fountains
were closed and that absolutely
nothing would be sold without =
prescription. Six hundred police
men kept busy all day taking the
names Of bootblacks, cabmen and
the keepers of little shops or fruit
stands for presentation to the grand
jury. The Sunday newspapers
were not stopped, but policemen
took the names of the pressmen
and employees. The police de-
partment will hand in enough
names to the grand jury to keep
that body busy for nearly the rest
Of the term, to the exclusion of the
regular business. The downtown
saloons, which have q pull, were
given tip BY their political pro.
tectors that even side doors must
be closed. Not a drink was OBJ.
tanned for love or money. The
laws 1t is sought to enforce are q
hundred years old. The rigid en-
forcement will doubtless result in a
revision Of them by the Legislature
