Ihe regular monthly meeting OF the
Rhode Island Catholic Woman's club was

'auNe audience of women. Previous TO
the Intellectual portion of the prosram

with Barriers to Belief"
I'm reference TO the barrier of prejudice
the question was submitted:
'Will you kindly suggest some prae-
tea way by which we may overcome the
prejudice against the Catholic church,"
Ia answer 10 this query Father CIif-
FORD said that the most valuable method
he could suggest. was 10 learn how TO get
on amably and sweetly with those who
held differing opinions.
This Is true, he said. not only OF life,
but OF books. and I'm connection with this !
thought the clergyman advised the mem
bers OF the club to read John Morley's |
essay on Compromise
A second question propounded to the '
speaker was:
Does not the lecture Barriers to Be |

prejudice?"
In reply Father Clifford said: THE diff
ference is unlmportant. All progress is
made by inducing greater number OF
lnbelievers To accept the formulsries OF

"The Least-Knovn Continent" Our
Own,
From the London Express.

Is there any quarter of the globe left
to explore apart from the Polar regions?
The answer is yes. despite the diverse wan
derings of intrepid travellers.
South America is now the least known
of all the continents. It has much larger
areas than Africa which have never been
visited by white men,
Most of the cities along the coast OF
South America were settled in the Co
lumbar era. Civilization is In fact much
older there than in North America
Yet for nearly 300 years there has been
not much organized attempt to explore
the interior.
The first expedition sent out by a South
American government was in 1875. Many
of these countries are without exact maps
of their own territory. Most Of the maps
in use have been made by explorers from
Europe or North America.
The greater part of the immense tract
of land in the middle OF the continent
from Venezuela to Chill has not yet reach
ed the toughest pioneer state OF settle
ment considerable part OF Columbia
is still wholly unknown.
The several Atlantic states, even as far
north as Uruguay, have many blank sec
tions on their maps. The Guianas, ex-
cept for a strip along the coast, are prac-
tically unknown
The condition Of affairs In Brazil is
scarcely better. There are large tracts in
the northern part of Brazil which have
never been crossed, as far as is known,
by any white man.
These, then, are the fields which tray
elers have yet to explore.

FOUR NEGROES HANGED.
BrutalIy Murdered Another Negro
mt n Turpentine Camp.

Brutality Murdered Another Negro
ut a Turpentine Camp.
chipley. Fla. July Sat Vernon, six
teen miles from here, four negroes were
hanged this morning for murder. The
names of the negroes were Bolton Ham
ilton, John Simmons, Jim Harrison and
viii Williams. Williams, Harrison and
Hamilton had been convicted of killing
helpless negro and almost killing his wife
1t was adduced in the evidence that the
three had warned their victim, JEFF Davis,
to leave a certain turpentine camp. Davis
obeyed instructions at once, but was
forced to return on account of lack of
transportation Of his household goods. He
came back on Oct. last, and was at
once spotted by his enemies, who sur
rounded him in his home and stationing
themselves behind convenient trees pro-
ceeded to riddle the cabin with rifle balls.
Davis was told TO put his gun outside,
which he did, and was soon afterwards
dragged from his house and shot to death
while in his wife's arms. During the
trial Hamilton, on cross-extmination, con-
fessed, saying:
'Tm guilty, before God l am guilty,
and l ought to be hung until dead"
BY his confession also the others were
convicted. John Simmons had killed an
other negro. The town of Vernon is with
out railroad connection and long rides Of
sixteen miles were made by all classes of
people. At least $500 were present. The
four negroes were made TO ascend the gai-
lows at one time at 1885 a. M, and after
short statements from each who claimed
to be on the road to Heaven. the trap
was sprung and the four were plunged into
space, remaining suspended for fifty min
utes Only one neck was broken, the 9TH
ers having died from strangulation.
