BISHOP TURNER ALL RIGHT,
He is Strong and Manly Enough TO Stand
Alone for Principle.

A journal that is said to have been
paid several hundred dollars for the
use of Its columns during the recent
political campaign, for several issues,
sought to enhance Its value in the eyes
of its money. masters by heaping cal
umny and vituperation upon the ven-
erable Bishop Tarner, who, right or
wrong in his uttersnces. has always
been fearless and honest champion Of
the welfare of his race. While gazing
upon the smoulderiDg embers Of the
fire that had burned at the stake poor
Negro, the good Bishop was told Of 8
speech made by President Mckinley, q
few miles away; lot finding in the
speech of the President a single word
rsbuking the fiends who had committed
the outrage, the Bishop was stirred be
bond the bounds of cool thought, and
under an impulse such as led Moses to
smite the Egyptian he declared for
Bryan. No one knew better than Bishop
Turner that no words spoken by him
or any one else could seriously defect
the vote of the Negro; but he adhered
to his stand, being willing to submit
to abuse, in order that by his protest he
might make the nation see its wrong
In treating with indifference his peo-
pie.
The hirelings who have sought to in
crease their pay by heaping abuses up
on Bishop Turner have their reward;
bat that grand old man, stricken with
years and enfeebled by his long life of
unselfish toll, possesses the respect OF
President Mckinley and all other good
men, who Will lock with contempt up
on the cheap advocate Of merely parti-
san politics, whose price can be counted
in dollars.
Reputable race journals, during the
campaign, have either been silent as
to Bishop Turner or have attacked his
position with arguments; but it was a
journal edited by q man whose living is
furnished by Bishop Turner's Church
who has heaped upon Bishop Turner,

and bitter character.

valzabIe Archaeological Objects Found in the CaIIs dc las
 EacaIerilas.

The work that has been carried onin the Calle de las Escalerillas for the lay ing of the sewer mains has led to i'm portant archaeological discoveries for, as is we'll known, that street, as well as the present cathedral, formed part of the site of the great temple of Huit- zilopochtli, the Aztec god of war.
 The latest discoveries seem to be the most important of all Foremost among them are two figures of the god Ehecatl (god of eir), the companion of Que*zacoatl. One of these figures is painted red, yellow and black. and, in spite of the dampness of the ground where it has lain for centuries, the col ors have remained fresh and vivid
 These idols are adorned with disks of gold, which are polished and en- graved in remarkable manner, says the Mexican Herald. The disks are about 20 centimeters in diameter and the gold plate is of fair thickness
 Other objects found at the same time were four ear ornaments of gold, a gold jewel case belonging to the god of air, beads, amulets of green stone, axes of silex, small idols of stone, lances of sharp stones, a curious mask of pyrite of iron, knives of large dimen- sions, a mask of diorite, censers of earthenware painted in colors and many other figures of stone and cement, the latter being always polychromatic.

Quieksilver FIasks.

The bottles or Tasks usea for trans porting quicksilver are generally made of boiler iron and are cylindrical in shape, about 12 inches in height and four inches in diameter, with screw plug inserted in one end. The capacity of a flask is 761. pounds and it's weight about IA pounds. Such fasks are used by all producers of quicksilver, and pass through the hands of various dealers till they reach the consumer. The total num- Der used in this country cannot be very large, as the total product last year of quicksilver in the United States was but 28.87e fasks, and the same flask can be used again and again till it gets too rusty inside. A flask can easily last 25 years. We un- derstand most of those now in use are made abroad, but an American firm also has made them. Most of the sec ond-hand fiasks can be bought for 25 or 30 cents agiece.

simpson and Jonah.

There died recently" says the Chca
go Tribune "a man who had done much
to shake belief in the legend of Jonah.
William Simpson devoted his life to n
study of the narrative and wrote book
to prove that the Biblical story is due to
an initiatory ceremony connected with
the religion of the Assyrian fish god, who
was akin to the Dagon of the Philistines.
"Recent researches have brought to light
hundreds Of pieces of Assyran sculpture
containing representations of human be-
ings draped in 6shskin or protrudng
head and shoulders from the jaws of the
fish. A man who clad himself in fish
skin was supposed to be endowed with
the attributes OF the deity, and after un-
dergoing the rite the novice was supposed
to be born again
simpson argued that in course OF time,
when the ceremony fell into disuse and
its meaning was forgotten, the incidents
of the rite were developed into mracu-
lous story"
