The Rockwell incest case has

of the legal method of dealing with
such cases. OF course it is too much
to expect that Bro. HAYS will for
moment consider the possibility that
the accused man may not be guilty
and that it would be a little harsh to
string him up without giving him any
sort of a chance to prove his inno-
cence, if he can do so. In the Hays

he is impatient for the execution to
take place. But say, Hays. suppose

DANCING IN THE TYROL,.
Lillian Bell Interestingly Describes a
Lively Peasant Dance and Its
OscuIatory Features

Among the keenest delights Of travel
are those little adventures which
come 10 us in out-of-the-way places
Of the world; glimpses of people and
manners which do not fall 10 the lot
Of the hurried tourist. The following
extract from Lillian Bells article in
the Woman's Home Companion, Dane
ing in the AUSTRIAN Tyro.. gives the
reader such a picture:
Presently came Rosa. the chamber
maid, and Hedwig. the waitress. and
dozen young men from the neighbor-
ing hamlet. and began TO dance the
'Schuplattle.' I have seen this won
derful dance performed on the stage
and in other Tyrolese villages. but
never have l seen it danced with the
abandonment OF those young peasants
in that little kitchen on the Achensee.
They were all beautiful dancers. The
young 'shipmaster' seized our pretty
Rosa around the waist and they began
TO waltz. Suddenly. without a mo-
nent's warning. they fell apart. with a
yen from the boy which curdled the
blood in the veins. Rosa continued
waiting alone, with her hands on her
hips, while her partner did a series Of
cartwheels around the room. bringing
up just in front Of her and waltzing
with her again without either Of them |
losing a step. Then he lifted her /
hands by the fnger-tips high above |
her head. and they writhed their bod
les in and out under this arch, he oc-
casionally STOPPING to snatch a kiss,
and all the time their feet Waiting in 4
perfect time to the music. Suddenly,
with another yell, he leaped into the
air, and. with Rosa waltzing demurely
in front Of him. began the fantastic
part Of the sehuplsttle, which consists.
as Jimmie says, of making tam
bourines all over yourself. spanking
yourself on your arms. thighs, legs and
Eoles Of your feet and the crown Of
your head. and winding up by boxing
your partners ears or kissing her, just
as you feel inclined.

A WORD ABOUT FRIENDS.
We Need Good Ones TO HeIp Us in this
Development of Good in
Ourselves.

If we would retain our friends we
must make as proper use Of them as
Of our enemies. or any other neces-
sity. Yet a great many OF us DO not
know how to use our friends, and we
are constantly striving 10 create an
uneven balance OF power, mostly in
favor Of ourselves. A friend is sup
posed to be deposit in the bank, a
pack horse for emergencies, some
thing to fall back on, 10 borrow
money from, to relate our stories to,
shed our tears upon, and what not.
And when we try these things upon
our friend and he fails we sigh. lift
our hands to heaven and talk of mans
ingratitude to man, writes Tom Mas
son in Brooklyn Life.
Friendship, however is none of
these things. Your friend is lost 10
you when he begins 10 help you. The
only real friend is one whom we can
depend upon always when we are not
in trouble. Our own strength always
governs the measure Of friendship
that others feel for us. A friend is a
necessity, not for what he gives US,
but for what we can give to him.
And yet if he should ask this of us. or
require it, 10! our friendship for him
would melt away. Friendship is moth
ing but the capacity in others to help
ourselves.
1t IS true, therefore, that when we
are in need the last person to borrow
from is our friend. Friendship is
more valuable than money. 1t doesn't
pay TO give up one for the other. We
need our friends to enable us to de- 4
velop certain inherent capacities /
which make us valuable to others as
means whereby they. in turn. may de-
velop into the right sort of friends.
In choosing our friends. therefore.
we should select in them those quali-
ties which viii rebound TO our own
development. which Will thus serve TO
bind them closer TO rs as time goes on.
A friend is merely a permanent
guest. We shoul1 treat him as If he
owned the house, and not ask any
thing of him.

AN INSANE MANS PATIENCE
Took Him Three Years to Make a Key
with which TO Make His
Escape.

During the recent visit Of the legis-
lative inquiry committee 20 the East
ern Indiana hospital for the insane
Superintendent Smith pointed out the
only patient in the institution who is
wearing q pair Of leather gloves
chained to a belt. Such is this mans
ingenuity that il his hands were not
fastened the institution would be in
constant trouble. because Of his skill
in picking locks. He came from Clev =
hand, Ind. and was committed because
Of homicidal tendencies, says Chi
cago paper.
Three times he escaped, notwith-
standing the vigilance of the attend
ants, each time going direct to Fort
Wayne, where he was recaptured. Aft
er his third recapture the riot act"
was read to the attendants, but
fourth time he got away, leaving no
trace Of mischief behind. Again he
fed to Fort Wayne, and there the hos
pital authorities found him.
After his return the superintendent
began quizzing him as to the manner
OF escape, and the patient laughingly
asserted that it was by means Of
pass key. The patient was SO elated
over the discontinue OF the attend
ants that he was willing to describe
the process. Every attendant has a
pass key Of peculiar make. and he
fattered the attendant TO believe that
he could make a perfect picture of
his key. The attendant humored him
and the patient made two sketches.
one of which he concealed. while he
surrendered the other. Some time be- |
fore he had found a piece Of a case
knife in the yard attached to the hos
pital. and he stole small piece of a |
three-cornered file in the engine room.
1t was part Of his duty to assist in
carrying food TO the patients. and |
upon entering the kitchen he always
complained Of feeling cold, and while
warming himself behind the range he
placed the knife blade to the heated |
surface. II took two years to heat
1t sufficiently to draw the temper
out, and he spent another year filing
the knife so that it could be used as a
KEY.
Meanwhile the attendants had b.
come suspicious that he contemplated
an escape. and nightly his clothing
was taken away and placed in two
different rooms The guard passed his
bed every half hour during the night.
Dut he watched his opportunity and
inally got all his clothing in hand,
md after the guard had made his first
-ound he unlocked the doors and
walked away, refastening them as he
passed.
The key is now preserved among the
'urios of the institution. A peculiar
eature is that the patient was unac-
TO the use of tools before
Omission to the hospital. and never
displayed any mechanical ingenuity
ntil he began conspiring for his own
scape

THE BOARDS DIFFER.

The friction between the Ma
lional Cherokee board of educa
lion at Tahlequab and the Vinita
board eliminated in the exclusion
Of Cherokes children outside the
city limits from the school at the
meeting Of the board yesterday.
The chief cause of this action
rests with the national board and
lis refusal to allow the city board
to name the teachers viii result in
a large number of Cherokee chill
dren being deprived of the means
of an education through the in
strumentslity of the Cherokee
school funds to which they are
entitled to full share. The hard
ship viii fall especially hard upor
this class of citizens on account of
the removal of their house where
school was formerly taught. to the
east side where it is now used for
the colored school.
Had the Cherokee national
board complied with the explicit
agreement to reappoint teachers
selected by the Vinita board there
would have been no friction and
Cherokee children in reach Of the
school would have been provided
with an excellent school. Had
the Cherokee board consulted the
best interests of the people they
are supposed to serve, the disrup-
tion would not have occurred.
Through political influence the
Cherokee citizens around Vinita
have suffered the loss of their
school, and the town has been de-
prived of $500 a year. If the
national board was abolished there
would be few tears shed in Vinita.
Tribal politics has always been
recognized in the board of educa-
tors at Tahlequah. The schools of
the Cherokee nation have been the
sufferers and the sooner that an ;

T0RPEDOB0AT HEADQUARTERS
Naval Board Now Looking for Suit
able Places.

Washington, May 15.--The naval board,
appointed to devise a scheme of practical
usefulness for the torpedo fiotilla, rapidly
nearing completion, to-day left for PEN
saclola Fla, where they will consider the
establishment of a series of torpedo head
quarters along the Gulf and Atlantic
coast. Although the plan is still in en-
bryo, it is now practically decided to be-
gin with the establishment of three main
divisions. one along the North Atlantic at
some central point, say New London,
Conn; another at a convenient point on
the South Atlantic, probably at Port
Royal, S. c.. and third on the Gulf of
Mexico, probably at Pensacola.
These points are merely suggested thus
far, and it is the purpose of the trip to
determine more definitely what points
offer the best facilities as central rem
devious for a group of torpedo boats
When these chief points are located the
purpose is to gradually add other stations
contiguous to the main points, until there
is a line of torpedo boat stations extend
ing along the Atlantic and Gulf coast. In
time of peace, these points would serve
chiefly as yards and depots where the
small Graf. could be drawn out of water
part of the time. and in time of war
they would be part of the strategic de-
fense Of the country, giving the entire
coast protection against attack from un-
expected quarter.

SENATOR STOKES ACQUITTED.

Killed Preacher WOlI Because of
Latter's Attack on Society.
Williamson. W. Va. May 15-This morn
ins Senator s. D. Stokes stood up in the
courtroom and pleaded mot guilty. to the
indictment accusing him of the murder
of Rev. j. j. Woll, a Presbyterian minis
ter here, last November. The trial is the
final outcome of Rev. WoIs sensational
sermon in which Williamson society came
under the sharp lash of his invective The
theory of the prosecution was that
Stokes sought the minister in his own
house and demanded an apology and pro-
voked a quarrel in which Mr. Woll was
killed. But the first witness put upon the
stand failed to bear out that hypothesis.
Otis Riley was within q hundred and fif-
ty yards and at the first bark of the pis-
tolls rushed toward the scene of the af-
fray There ne found Stokes. although
shot twice, still standing with smoking
revolver in hand and in reply to a ques-
tion Stokes said:,
"Woll shot me first and had to kill
him."
At that time Riley said Mrs. Leneive of
Richmond, Va, who was the only eye
witness to the fatal shooting. corroborated
Stokes. Riley's testimony virtually dis
posed of the states case, as IL was known
from affidavits made at the time of the
shooting that the evidence of Mrs Leneive
would tend to exculpate Stokes.
Senator Stokes took the stand and ex-
plained how Vol was killed. There was
no other witnesses for the defense.
Tonight the jury returned a verdict of
not guilty. and Senator Stokes is again

PORT ROYAL MAY GET A SOP.
Stands Good Chance of Being Made
Torpedo Bont Headquarters.

a Torpedo Hont Hcadquarters.
Washington, d, c.. May 15.--Port Royal
will probably be selected as one of the
three torpedo stations to be established
along the Atlantic coast The members
consider the question of the practical use
fulness for the torpedo fotilla. so near
completion are to hold meeting at PEN
sacola, Fla. next Saturday. They left
here to-day on the Florida Express. 1t is
proposed to establish series of torpedo
lent points. where torpedo boats and de-
stroyers may rendezvous in time OF peace.
and be prepared for immediate action in
time of war. There are about thirty OF
these vessels near the stage of compile
ton, and 1t is the intention of the Navy
Department to place them where they
may be well taken care of, and at the
same time. be kept in condition for i'm
mediate action II necessary.
The abandonment of the naval station
at Port Royal in favor of Charleston, has
not been lost sight OF by the naval au-
thorities. 1t is claimed that Port Royal
offers exceptionally desirable facilities for
rendezvous Tor the torpedo Doats, ana
the government property there, including
a number of well constructed buildings,
renders that point additionally attractive
for the purpose desired
1t is probable that the board. now on
its way to Pensacola. will recommend the
location of at least three torpedo sta
tions. One on the New England coast,
another on the Gulf coast and Port Royal
seems to be the choice for the Middle or
South Atlantic station.
The establishment of torpedo head
quarters at Port Royal does not mean
that Admiral Crownnshields proposition
to establish a naval training station for
seamen at the same place, is to be aban-
doned. On the contrary, that subject is
still under serious consideration at the
Navy Department, and II is understood
that some definite action favorable to
Port Royal will be announced at an early
day.
