CHIEFS OF THE sULUs.
Each Has the Power of Life or Death
Over His Subjects.

Each Has the Power of Life or Death
Over His Subjects.
The social system among the Moros
is much more primitive than it is
among the greater part Of the other
Philippine races. A chief, or dato, con-
trolls district. He has his own par
ticular followers and his slaves. Be
sides these he may command all the
men of his own district in time of war.
He also has the right Of life and death
over his subjects. For instance, a few
weeks before we arrived In Jolo, Data
Jokanine had occasion to execute one
Of his followers. The man had been
intrusted with money belonging to the
dato. The first time he came to bis
chief and said:
"Oh, great and benevolent dato,
have gambled away the money! For
give mew
every WELL" said the dato. "See
that it does not happen again."
Once more the retainer came, saying:
"Oh, great and benevolent dato, again
have I gambled away thy money, and
again beg thee, in thy great mercy, to
forgive me"
"This is the second time / have for
given thee" said Jokanine, "but the
third time, warn thee, thou shalt die"
Yet again the unfortunate man re-
turned without the money he had col
lected for the dato.
ooh, dato," he cried, throwing him
self at the feet Of his chief, 81 have
sinned again and taken thy money!
Mercy! Mercyw
"Cut him down." said the dato to one
Of his men-at-arms. The man offered
no resistance and was cut to pieces
with one of the great knives Of the ma.
tives.-Harper's Weekly.

Sustaining His Theory.

| No man is real man of science I'M
less he is ready to abandon his own
conclusions, duly put on record, if sub
sequent investigations prove them
| fallacious. The president of a great
college once wrote a volume on the
practice of medicine. After it had been
completed and he had gone to New
York to arrange for its publication
his house was burned, and the manu-
script of his book and all his notes
were destroyed.
He couldn't reproduce it. Ten years
afterward he said: "That fire was the
greatest Of good fortune to me. If /
had published the book, should have
had to stand by 1t, whereas now
know that it was all wrong~
Mr.. Andrew Lang in Longman's Mag
azine tells Of two biologists who were
gathering specimens in a lonely noun
tain place. One of them had written a
book. The other, looking about one
day with a f1eldglass, saw his friend
occupied a long time-unobserved, as
he thought-in rolling a great stone
down hill and at dinner questioned him
about it.
He pretended at first that he had
been doing 1t for exercise, but, hard
pressed, confessed:

Negro Eloquence.

Negroes sometimes express them
selves as felicitously as do the Irish
Here is case copied from a Texas
paper. Some time ago one of Texas
widely known statesmen, who is now
dead, was passing along a street in
Dallas, when an old colored man, who
had once belonged to him, approached
took off his hat and passed a hand
over his white wool as he asked:
"Marster, gin de old man so cents.
"Dan, you are robber."
"How?" asked the astonished darby
opening his eyes, around which rough
shod age had walked.

"Well, you old rascal, you rob me OF

ing almost to the ground, while tears
came out and coursed through the aged
prints around his eyes, he replied:

you hab and wild Abraham and Isaac

what can keep you out of heaven"

TUESDAY, MAY %, 1900.
WHEN the trolley company applied

WHEN the trolley company applied to
the Board of Freeholders for permission
to use the roads of the county to lay their
tracks on, they prepared for consideration
some ordinances drawn by their counsel
and evidently to their own liking. One
section provided that in crossing the creek
at Burlington the county bridge should
not be used, but the trolley should occupy
a structure built at the side of the bridge.
Now the trolley people have changed their
minds, they do not want to build bridge
of their own but want to cross on the
county bridge. That they are to profit
by this change there is not the slightest
doubt, they do not make any move unless
it is to their own advantage. The COM
mittee in charge should carefully consider
every phase of this matter. If the trolley
bridge that was first contemplated is to
be abandoned what is the reason Will 1t
be cheaper for the company to pay for
half of bridge rather than an entire struc-
ture2 Is the Pearl street bridge good
enough for the public as it now stands
If so, what is the necessity or advisability
of going to the expense of half new one
merely to accommodate the trolley? If the
entire affair is thoroughly sifted it will
probably be revealed that the treasury of
the trolley company will be enriched by
the proposed change even If the county is
put to unnecessary expenses

RurxinR a Spanish King.

Strange and almost weird is the cere-
monial which accompanies the burial
of Spanish kings. The pantheon, or
royal tomb, is at the palace of the
Escurial, situated 1900 feet above the
level of the sea and some distance
from the capital Only kings, queens
and mothers of kings are buried there,
the collins of the kings lying on one
side, those of the queens on the other.
After lying in state for several days
in the throneroom in Madrid an enor-
nous procession is formed, accompany
ing the body to the Escurial. A halt
is made on the way, and the corpse
rests there for one night.
In the morning the lord high cham
berlain stands at the side of the coffin
and says In loud tones, rs your males
ty pleased to proceed on your jour-
neyT After short silence the pro-
cession moves ON and winds up to the
grand portal of the palace These
doors are never opened except to adj
NIT a royal parsonage, dead or alive.
When the casket containing the re-
mains is at last placed in the vault,
the chamberlain unlocks it and, kneel-
ing down, calls with loud voice:
'Senor! Senori Senor"
After solemn pause he cries again.
His majesty does not reply. Then 1t
is true, the king is dead!'
He then locks the coffin, gives the
key to the prior and, taking his staff
of office, breaks it in pieces and filings
them at the casket. The booming OF
the guns and the tolling Of bells an
nounce to the nation that the king has
gone to his final resting place.

AT the last meeting of the Board of
Freeholders Mr.. Crowell, of Palmyra, OBJ
jected to the appropriation of 5000 to the
fire department of Mount Holly. He said
he was not opposed to fire companies being
aided, but he could not see any good rea-
son why the department of Mount Holly
should be considered to the exclusion of
the fremen in other sections of the county
Mr.. Crowell said he took this position as
an officer and taxpayer. We are not
going to find fault with him for the stand
he took in this matter nor are we going to
say he was wrong, but on the principle of
working for the benefit of the taxpayers,
we will-call his attention to matter where
he can be of much benefit to the public
and aid in breaking up an abuse. The
township of Palmyra is running up large
bills for arrests of tramps and DRINKS.
During the past year one constable has
taken from the county treasury the sum
of $885.95; another has received 1898. "a;
and of two justices one has been paid
1857. 4S; and one 1922 10; total of 81 500. :
OF. Does anybody believe that Palmyra is
such bad place as to be compelled to
have so much money charged up to 1t for
drunkenness in one year? Mount Holly in
its palmiest days of tramp business did
not do much more than this. Yet there
was cry over the outrage and move
ment of reform was started. which result
ed in the removal from Office OF one of the
constables who was in the traffic. Mr..
Crowell can insist on an investigation on
this point that will be credit to himself
and benefit to the county. He is men
toned because the offense comes from his
township and, as member of the finance
committee, the expenditures will be
brought directly to his notice. To object
to the appropriation of 5000 to worthy
organization is perfectly legitimate, how
much more so to compel the cessation of
unlawful raids upon the county treasury.

possibility of making such an error as
to mistake the abbreviation Sh. for
