INSULTS TO sovEREIGNs.
Criminal Laws Guard Prominent
Persons in Civilized Countries.

Trum the Law Journal)
The criminal law Of most If not of all.
civilized countries is sufficiently strong to
prevent the publication Of writings the
object OF which is 20 bring the rulers OF
foreign states into contempt. The rule oil
English law, as expressly laid down in
peltlers case estate Trials, vol.
rs. D. 530). is that any publication tend
ing TO degrade and defame persons in sit
uations of power and dignity in foreign
countries may be treated as libels. partic-
ularly when they have a tendency TO in
terr1ipt the pacific relations between the
two countries. The proper procedure is by
criminal information. The rule is rea-
sonable one, though capable Of being used
oppressively for political reasons. There
are several instances OF prosecutions for
such attacks upon foreign soyereigns or
their ambassadors. Thus, Lord George
Gordon was in 1857 convicted of libel
upon Marie Antoinette and the French Ann
bassador. Vint was in 1901 convicted of
a libel upon the Emperor Of Russia, and
during the short period OF peace after the
treaty of Amiens Peltier was prosecuted
for a libel on Napoleon, and rsund guilty;
but, as war broke out again, was never
called upon to receive judgment.
II must be owned that in some OF the
cases lne llUelt were no more imam attacks
upon the policy or public acts OF foreign
rulers in respect of which there would be
difficulty now 10 induce a jury TO convict.
For Instance. the worst that Vint said OF
the Russian Emperor was that he was
rendering himself obnoxious TO his sub
jects by various acts OF tyranny, and
ridiculous In the eyes OF Europe by his in
consistency. Theoretically. however, in
Peltier's case the judge seems TO have
recognized the distinction between publica-
tions directed against the public acts of a
sovereign and those which reflected upon
his person and character 1t is the personal
nature of the attacks in certain French
newspapers upon the Queen and other
members Of the royal family-attacks
sometimes embodied IN coarse, even in
decent, caricatures-which have aroused
such resentment In this country. When a
French comic paper publishes a special
number descriptive of the English charac-
ter. In which for example English steam
ers are depicted as running down French
fishing boats and leaving their crews TO
drown, and English sportsmen as tying up
Indian children TO act as bait for alliga-
tors, no one thinks Of protesting. Nor
would criticism, however unfair or dis
honest, Of the policy of this country or the
public acts OF its public men cause the
same feeling of anger. Some reputable
French papers seems TO class the attacks
OF which we complain with the remarks
made IN the English papers during the
Dreyfus case on the conduct of French Off

STEALING PAINTINGS.
Risky business aud the Profits Are
Not Large.

(Frcm the New York SUM-
1.-The stealing of valuable paintings
would seem to be rather a useless opera
ton said an art dealer because of the
difficulty that the thief might have in dis
posing of them, but there are men here
and abroad who have done it profitably.
OF course il a man were foolish enough 20
steal a really celebrated painting he would
have to wait years before disposing Of it
unless he sold il secretly to some unscru-
pulous collector. who. for the sake of pos
sessing 1t would keep 1t concealed. Every
art dealer In New York has had oppOr-
tunities TO buy good paintings by artists
of renown which probably have been
stolen. but the average dealer will take
no chances. \ New Jersey collector was
swindled several weeks ago by a smooth
sharper who worked a new game.
This man told the collector that he would
sell for him at a big price a painting which
he owned. The collector was not averse to
making such a sale Of the picture. and he
turned 1t over to the sharper to sell, with
out knowing anything about the fellow.
The agent went away with the painting,
and after waiting reasonable length OF
time, without hearing from him, the eollec-
tor came TO New York TO investigate. He
could find no trace of the agent. but ne
did find his painting offered for sale by a
reputable art dealer. The dealer had paid
the agent 5000 for It, believing that the
latter had been commissioned to sell II.
The collector had paid $500 for the same
painting. The fact that good paintings are
occasionally stolen from collectors and gel
leries abroad has long been utilized by
iaSirs in this country as aid to selling
crude copies as originals. The copy is
usually found in some old garnet, accord
ing to the fakir, and he explains that II
was stolen from some European collection
so many years ago that the thett mas oeen
outIawed. You would be surprised to know
how many amateur collectors are truofed by
this old swindling game.

THE CAVE OF AEoLUS.
A Texas Hole In the Ground Where
the Wind Blows n Gale.

Q'rom the ST, Louis Globe Democrat)
In the Peach Creek nelghborhood is q
place known as the Hole in the Ground,
which is the only place in Texas, as far as
known, where the wind blows up and down,
a regular gale. The hole is on the cattle
ranch belonging TO Claus Baumgartner'
and close 10 the creek between high, WOOL
ed bluffs. Peach Greek is really bayou
it's waters level with the sea and running
only during freshets caused 10y excessive
rains. High south or north winds are the
only ones to rufile its usually placid sur
face.
But it does not matter how placid the
waters of Peach Creek may be, how
straight and unbending the trees on the
bluffs may stand, or how lazily the CLOUDS
drift through the air, there is always
gale at the Hole in the Ground. Ii blows
and roars and whistles and shrieks as only
n raging hurricane can do in its mad ca
reer The hole is a costly affair to the
man who owns it. The low ground on
which it is situated is the only place
where his cattle can get water at the
creek.
1t would he all right II fence could be
maintained around the hole, but that can
not be done Every time the wind veers

tween the bluffs is sucked into it. swapping
the stoutest fence post, like pipe stems. and
snatching coils OF barbed wire like they
were fimsy gossamers. At such times
horses. cattle and sheep that happen to be
on the fiat are doomed. Strong horses'
caught in tie eddy of the mysterious wind
are as helpless as flies in gale They
plunge ard leap and struggle Tor minute,
then they are pressed down, whirlei around
for a few times and go down, never TO be
seen again.
The hole itself is about 300 feet across
the top, with slanting sides. No one has
ever dared to go close enough to be able TO
look down into it and see what the bottom
is like The sounds of the wind vary from
a hoarse roar to a keen. whistling noise
The prevailing winds. except an east Wlnd.
do not seem to affect it in any way, for IN
calm and storm. rain and shine. night and
day, winter and summer. it pufis and SUCKS
and whirls and eddies TO suit itself.
Twice in the memory of man Peach
Creek has overfiowed its banks hish

four feet on the fiat where the hole is stu

moment and the next there would be an
explosive sound, when II would come up
again in a solid column 100 feet high.
When this column broke the waves rusroi
against the adjacent bluffs and were whip
ped into foam. This was repeated every
minute or two until the water in the
creek went back again within its banks.
After the water had receded and the hole
had resumed its usual labor of sucking
and putting wind once more, the ground
around was literally covered with the

can give to n colored man can go forth
among their fellows and act as leaveners
to the crudity Of their race far and wide.
That the pleasure and Importance OF ne
gro life in Washington are oyerrated by
the colored people themselves is as true
as that 1t is moderated and misundtrstood
by the whites. To the former the social
aspect of this life is very dignified and
serious drama. To the latter 1t is nothing
but a most amusing and inconsequential
farce. But both are g; 1t is neither
the one thing nor the other. 1t is comedy

on that very account are disposed to mouth
