It was at first announced the negro was to be executed by hanging. Many, including the father of the negro's vietim protested that such a death would bo too easy and il was finally decided to leave the method of death to the father. He decided on burn ing at the stake. The train was then al- lowed to proceed and at Lake Station, about three miles from Limon and near the scene of the negro's crime, the party left the train and began preparations for the deed of vengeance. Suggestions of mutilation before burning were made, but MT. Frost declared against it.
 Wagons were dispatched for wood and upon their return a score of men assisted in preparing it for the fire. When at last preparations were completed a farther de- lay was made because it was known many were en route from Hugo and other parts of the county to take part in the affair.
 It had been announced that 5:30 should be the hour for starting the fire, but 1t was nearly an hour later when the word was given.

todian of the cross was made, Mrs. Helen Plane of Atlanta and Miss Rutherford of Athens, Ga, the advisory committee on the cross, also made reports. Mrs. Plane made the point that U. c. V. should not be on the badge, as it was intended for all Con federate Veterans, whether members of the U. c. V. or not. The committee admit msmanagement as to the distribution of the badges
 Mrs. Gahbett stated that Alabama's hero. General Wheeler, had not been given a badge, and has applied to her for a cross. This was corrected by Mrs. Dowden of Ope- lka who stated that her chapter has con- ferred the cross on General Wheeler. The committee asked for an enlargement of it's number.
 Much unnecessary discussion of this re- quest followed, amendment after amend ment was made to the motion that the com mttee be enlarged. Mrs. Virginia Craig Clopton of Alabama protested against the "wrangling," and urged that the commit- tees request be granted. The president and the house objected 10 the word ''wrangle." They were merely many women of many minds,' said the president. Mrs. Read of New York moved to table the motion and the amendments passed.
 Mrs. Cantsell of Kentucky then made a new motion that the committee be con- tlnued and enlarged at the discretion of the president and committee. Carried.
 Mrs Cantrell of Kentucky chairman of the mother committee, submitted her re- port. Eight suggestions had been sent in, but no action was taken on the matter.
 The meeting adjourned until o'clock.

PUNISHMENT IF
 CHINESE PRINCES
Tuan and Chwang Get Life Im- prisonment-An Impe-
 rial Decree.

hington.-November 16. - Minis Posts Sheng the following cablegranl, which he communicated to Secretary Hay today:
 An imperial decree of November 13 deprives Prince Yuan and Prince Chwang of their ranks and offices and orders them to be imprisoned for life; Prince Yin and Secondary Prince Ying to be imprisoned; Secondary Prince Lieu to be deprived of his rank; Duke Ian and Yng Men, to be degraded in rank Rang Vi being dead, no penalty can be imposed upon him, and Shao Shu Chiao to be degraded, put retained in office, and Yu Hsien to be eXiled to the farthest boundary"
 The chinese officials mentioned in the decree are among the highest in China and comprise most, if not all of those against whom the powers demanded rigorous pun ishment Prince Yuan stands at the head of the anti-foreign and Boxer movement. Previous ediets have degraded him and taken away his office and servants but this judgment of life Imprisonment is the most severe thus far given to any of the leaders responsible for the trouble. From a Chinese standpoint it is an extreme pen alty to a prince of the blood, hut it re- mains to be seen whether the powers will regard it as adequate to Prince Tuan's of fence. The others mentioned were Tuan's active associates, and two of them were specifically mentioned for punishment along with Yuan in Secretary Hays note of October 3. advising the Chinese gov ernment that this country would expect these officials to receive their just de- serts. Rang Vi is one of the officials who died suddenly after the demands for pun ishment had been made, probably by sui eide. Yu Hsien is another who was thought to have committed suicide, but the edict indicates that he is still alive.
 As the ministers at Pekin also have been considering the question of punishment it will develop speedily when they lay their demands before the Chinese envoys wheth- CT the edict of the Chinese Emperor gives punishment which are regarded ade quate to fit the crimes.

the entire proceeding. Not weapon was drawn, there was no angry discussion. After the fire had burned low they told each other goodnight and they went home. They did not stop to discuss the affair.
 The train bearing the negro in custody of Sheriff Freeman and his deputies arrived in Limon at 3:45 D. m. The cars were crowded with newspaper representatives and people who were curious to the negro executed. R. w. Frost, the mur- dered girls father, was one of the pas sengers. When the train stopped sixteen who had been selected by the vigilance committee entered the train and demanded the prisoner from the sheriff Their every action was marked by calmness and deter imitation. The officer protested in the name of the law and asked the men to allow hlm to take his prisoner to the county jail at Hugo, but his protests were disregarded.
 One man carried rope, one end of which had been formed into hangman's moose. This was slipped over the negro's neck.

London Advices.

London, November 16.-"Opinion is strong here" says the Shanghai correspondent of the Daily Express, wiring yesterday, that the European commanders are doing more harm than good by the punitive eXpedi- tions, which by the destruction of villages, excite the Chinese to eXecrate the foreign CTS, a feeling which it will take a century to eradicate.
 'It is perfectly clear that the Emperor and Empress Dowager care nothing be- cause a few hundred Chinamen are killed, and the allies would be far better en- ployed in trying to secure the return of Emperor Kwang Stu to Pekin.
 ''Vice-Admiral Seymour, on board the British battleship Centurion, and Herr Knappe, the German consul-general here, or board the Kurfurst Bismarck, have as- cended the river with the object of stop ping remittances to the court and securing the payment of customs funds into the foreign banks"

When They Prefer to Bite and What
They Do Afterward.
Anything from the pen Of Professor
Grassi relating to malaria will be read
with interest He has just published
another note in the Rendiconti della r.
Academia del Lincei, describing some
observations made by him in Septem-
Der of last year and during the past
summer at Grosseto with the object of
controlling the results obtained last
year in July and August by Koch's ex-
petition. The latter it may be remen1-
befed, found very few anopheleles, but
a great number of cuiees in this city,
although malaria was very prevalent,
and from this fact he considered 1t like
ly that culex pipiens is also an agent in
the propagation of malaria. Professor
Grassi, on the contrary, has found
anopheleles very abundant in the same
houses where Koch had noted malaria
the previous year, and he concludes
from this that Koch's party were in
expert al the work of looking for mos
quitoes and that their search was not
made in the proper places which are
the entrances of houses and outhouses,
and not in the bedrooms.
He found that the favorite time for
the anopheleles to feed at Grosseto was
the thirty or forty minutes immediate
ly after sunset, and, to much less ex-
tent, the same time before sunrise.
They take long flights in search of food
and like to go away shortly after feed
ing, for which reason they may be said
to change every twenty-four hours, at
least during the warm weather only
very few (about one per cent? being
consequently found infected In the
height of summer. AS the weather be-
comes colder they remain longer and a
larger proportion (about eight per cent?
are found infected. The infected in
sects are apt to be conveyed passively
over long distances and so spread in
lection to fresh localities hitherto ex-
empt.
Anopheleles are found in some places
where no malaria exists, as, e. e., along
the lake of Como. Their larvae live
freely in salt water and seaside places,
though usually exempt, are not invari-
ably so. Professor Grassi, in conclu-
sion confirms the observations of Chris
tophers and Stephens on the occasion

the culeX of bodies which resemble, but
which he does not believe to be sporoz-

i nation of the land now vacant, 1t will
be probably necessary to provide for
the condemnation and taking of tracts
of land which otherwise block the enter
prise. More than this the canals al
ready built in certain localities. al
| though small and readily insufficient,
may make 1t inadvisable to attempt to
reclaim other lands Immediately ada
cent. AT the outset it would have been
possible, at a slightly greater expendl-
ture, to irrigate all of the lands In these
localities instead of only a portion; but
even with existing disadvantages much
can be accomplished by prompt action.
In spite of the fact that private enter
prise has already taken possession OF
the more easily irrigabe land, there
still remain millions of acres to which
water can be brought by canals built
from the larger river. or by the con-
struction of storage works. The cost
of 50 doing will not be notably large
per acre reclaimed, but the total cost
is far beyond ordinary corporate effort;
and more than this, as stated before, it
canpot be made a source of profit with
out creating a great tenant population
and violating some Of the institutions
of a free country
The whole situation is illustrative of
the fact that certain public utilities or
functions cannot be turned over to cor
porations to be made source of profit,
without DISASTROUS effects. In the ara
region water, like air, is essential 20
life, and monopoly of it for speculative
purposes cannot be tolerated. On the |
other hand, public funds cannot be
used to better advantage than in con- |
serving the water supply and insuring
its greatest possible use in the creation
of thousands of homes Of self-upport- |
ing population. The great object to be |
attained is to bring these facts to pub |
lie notice while there is yet time to |
rectify past abuses and to insure for |
the future businesslike and patriotic |
treatment of the nations great heritage |
making prosperous homes for the !
many, instead of domains for the few.
