there they went to Baltimore, dodg-
ing the police. who had been asked

friend of Dr. Foster, applied next
morning TO the marriage license clerk
for a license Baltimore detectives fol-
lowed him home and were shadowing
his house when a carriage with 4
negro coachman drove up for DR..

The fiat of the nation has gone forth
against the mongoose. Before Con-
gress adjourned bill was passed by
both houses prohibiting its importa-
tion, says the Baltimore Herald. The
pugnacious little animal is henceforth
to be placed in the same category as
the Chinese.
The mongoose is native of India.
1t is death to rats and snakes. For the
destruction it works among these pests
it is highly priced. But when it clears
out the rats and snakes it betakeS it
self to birds and eggs and any sort of
small game it can get hold of. That is
why the Department Of Agriculture
Classics it as a noxious animal.
Weighed in the balance, away from its
native land, its vices are found to out
weigh its virtues, and therefore it Is
to be kept out of Uncle Sans domains.
Thus far very few specimens Of the
mongoose have been introduced into
this country. The edict of exclusion is
based mainly on the experience of ia
maica. That island once suffered from
a plague of rats, which were particu-
larly destructive in the cane fields.
They We're held responsible for an an
nual loss Of something like S5OOOOO. In
February, 1872, nine individuals Of the
mongooSe, four males and five females,
were introduced from India.
They increased with remarkable
rapidity and soon spread all over the
island, even to the tops of the highest
mountains. They proved inveterate
rat destroyers. A decade after their
introduction it was estimated that
they were saving the sugar planta-
tions 1925, 700 per annum. And the
mongoose was blessed.
Still the mongoose increased, and its
murderous habits became more and
more apparent and the rats diminish
ed. 1t destroyed young poultry, kids,
lambs, puppies, kittens, small game,
birds which nested on or near the
ground, eggs, ground lizards, frogs,
turtles eggs and land crabs. 1t was
also known to eat ripe bananas, pine
apples, young corn, pears, sweet pota-
toes, cocoanuts and other fruits. To-
ward the close of the second decade,
the mongoose came to be regarded as
the worst pest ever introduced into
the island-worse than the rats which
it destroyed. Then the mongoose was
officially mathematical.
Hawaii, where the mongoose was in
troduced in 1881. underwent a some
what similar experience, and in 1892
a law was passed forbidding the in
PRODUCTION, breeding or keeping Of the
mongoose on that island. All Of
which goes to show that the mongoose
is good animal to let alone where ma
ture has placed it.

A BEN EFACTOR.

Sullivan Created Il New Form of MusI-
cal Art
1t is not necessary to speak of the
death of Sir Arthur Sullivan as loss
to the world, for the reason that his
creative career had closed and he had
already given to the world the best
that he had to give. But this best was
very, very good, and he leaves the
world his debtor. The son of an Irish
bandmaster and of a mother who was
half Irish and half Italian, Sullivan
himself was London-born and was edu-
Gated in an English choir, the school
that for centuries has produced all
that is best and truest in the musical
art Of England. He was an English
musician, an English composer, but
the Celtic strain in him gave an indi-
vidual impulse of his own to his Eng
lish art. What gave Sullivan his great
place in the musical history of our
time was nothing less than the crea-
tion for English-speaking people of
new form of musical art. For the
operetta, as Gilbert and he developed
it was really an invention of their
own, so different was it in spirit and
purpose from the conventional comic
opera whose form it satirized. To Gil
bert, no doubt, is due the actual inven-
ton of the form, with the humorous
commentary on contemporaneous life,
but it was Sullivan that clothed it
with the melodic beauty, and the con-
summate charm of musical expression,
that opened new world of enjoyment
and made us all happier and richer be-
cause these two men lived and worked
ogether.-Philadelp Times.

Aaron Burr and the Judge.

James Kent, whose famous Com
mentaries on American Law" is classed
with Blackstone as the great textbook
on law, was great admirer Of Alex
ander Hamilton, and when the great
federalist was killed by Aaron Burr in
a duel, he became the implacable enc
my of the latter. One day long after
ward, when in New York, the judge
saw Burr on the opposite side of Mas
sau street; he went across as fast as
his years would permit, and, brandish-
ing his cane in Burr's face, shouted:
You're a scoundrel, SRA scoundrel!
a scoundrel!" Burr proved equal to the
emergency. He raised his hat and
bowed to the ground. and then said, in
his calmest professional tone: 1.-THE
opinions of the learned chancellor are
always entitled to the highest consid-
eratioD."

STOCK MEN ALL GOING.

The fourth annual convention Of the
Salt Lake promises to be the largest
and most interesting gathering of
stockmen ever held in this country.
Salt Lake City is going to cover itself
with glory in the manner in which the
visitors will be entertained. The con-
hall Of the Mormon church and grand
concert will be rendered the delegates
and visitors in the Tabernacle on the
first evening. The programme Of the
entertainment committee contemplates
events for each evening of the conven-
tion and after the convention adjourns.
there are excursions to the mines and
elsewhere. Colorado is going to send
a large delegation and the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad will run a special
train, leaving Denver Sunday, January
13, which will reach Salt Lake City
the next day in time for the committee
meetings. The fare for the round trip
will be SIS from Denver, Colorado
Springs or Pueblo and one fare from
other points in the state. Those con-
templating going should engage sleep
ing car accommodations at once. Write
to S. X. Hooper, general passenger
agent, Denver, or see any Rio Grande
ticket agent. 1t will be a delightful
midwinter trip, and no stockman who
is interested in the industry can at
ford not to attend the meeting.

UNITY is NEEDED.
Need of the Christian World Combining

Need OF the Christian World Combining
Against China.
When Mohammedanism arose, the
unity Of it's action enabled it to sweep
over half the Christian world. Like
tidal wave it submerged Christian
Asia and Christian Africa, while the
virile Christian strength of Europe
employed itself with petty domestic
quarrels over family claims to terri
tory. While Mohammedanism again
and again attacked the head center of
Christendom at Constantinople, west
ern Christendom quarreled on, with
vision too narrow to comprehend
events. Across the pillars of Hercules
and over the mountains of Spain the
wave rolled on, until it passed even
beyond the Pyienees into southern
France. Across the Bosphorus it roll
ed, at the other end of the continent,
wiping out the Byzantine Empire, with
all its priceless treasures of civiliza-
tion, leaving of Macedonia and ancient
Greece only fragmentary memories,
and surged up to the very gates of vi
emma. Did Christian arms drive it
back? Not at all. We are fond of be-
lieving that Carl Martel saved Chris
tian Europe in Aquitaine, and that,
later, John Sobieski repeated the sal
walton under the walls of Vienna. The
salvation of Europe was not due to
these heroes, great as were their deeds,
but to the fact that, with centuries of
success, Mohammedanism had lost its
political unity. 1t was not Mohamme-
danism, but the Caliphate of Cordova,
that Charles the Hammer defeated on
the plains of southern France. West
ern Europe was lost to the Moors, not
then, but two centuries before, when
they severed their allegiance to Bag
dad. 1t was not Mohammedanism that
the king of Poland turned back at
Vienna, but the Turkish empire, which
had never recognized either political
or religious headship other than it's
own sultan. Mohammedanism as a
political force, had become scattered
and ineffective. Now the Christian
world is precipitated into another
great religious WARRIOR we can make
nothing else out of the Chinese situa-
tion. We know enough now to under
stand that the horrors being enacted
there are but manifestations Of gen
eral movement to expel Christianity
from eastern Asia? Can the Christian
world meet this movement with any
thing like political unity? If it can
not, if the British government is to be
jealous Of Russia, if France is to busy
herself watching German and British
schemes, if Germany is to be German
first and Christianity afterward, if
Russia is to be Russian first, last and
all the time. it were better far to
merely save such lives as we can and
then leave China to the Chinese
