Quaint Horse-Thief. Capturing Society.

Iualnt hOIae-4 hlel. capturing SOclets'
The Society in Dedham for Appre-
hending Horse Thieves held its nine
tleth annual meeting a few days ago.
The organization is the oldest, and, It
Is now thought, the only one OF Its
kind in the United States. It had its
origin in the early part Of the century,
when horse thieves were more com
mon thai at the present time, and
when the only means Of catching the
purlolners Of horsehesh was personal
effort, and when the owners had no
telegraph or telephone to scatter the
alarm and set all a-watch for them.
The society embraced the first citizens
Of the town, which then included much
territory that has been carved into
new towns, and each man stood ready
at q moments notice to ride after
horse and cattle thieves.
The society Is grounded on the solid
rock financially, having a cash bal
ance on hand Of S1O3S.5G It's member

is contantly increasing. ng.-Boston Her

During the progress of the last solar
eclipse Mr. c. Martin made a syste-
matte series of temperature Observa-
tions, the results Of which are pub
lished in the scientific proceedings Of
the Royal Dublin Society, Two ther-
mometers were exposed to the direct
rays of the SUM- the bulb of one Of
which was blackened, while that Of
the other was white. There was a
very close agreement between the
readings of the two thermometers.
Each showed that the temperature
was at its lowest about eight minutes
after the middle Of the eclipse. The
fall, as indicated by the black-bulb
thermometer, was 2S degrees-from
G3.7 degrees before the eclipse to 35.7
degrees after the totality was over.

One of the most striking spectncles
revealed by telescopes Is that Of the
Great Nebula in Orion. In the COM
plexlty Of its glowing streams, spirnls
and strangely shaped masses, inter-
cepted by yawning black gaps and
sprinkled over with stars arranged In
suggestive groups and lines, 1t has few
rivals in the heavens. The impression
OF astonlshment made by the sight Of
this nebula is heightened by knowl-
edge of its enormous size. The entire
solar system would appear rs a tiny
speck beside IT, Yet this tremendous
aggregation of nebulous clouds and
starry swarms has been proved by the
researches OF the late Professor Keel
er, of the Lick Observatory, to be fly
ing away from the earth and the sun
at the rate of eleven miles in every sec
ond! But so vast Is its distance that
100 years reveal no visual effects Of
the great nebula's swift retreat. If it
were near by it would seem to become
rapidly smaller.

maIden's boat away. and answering
the curdlng cry of his hidden foe
with a fierce yell Of defiance he sprang
toward the shore. Waneta heard with
terror and foreboding the sounds Of
combat. With fear and trembling she
sped away toward the blasted pine.
When Kayuta rushed back upon the
shore the dark forms of three foes
rose up to meet him. Weutha, the
Weasel, fell dead at Kayutas feet at
one blow from the strong arms tom

and Weutha's two braves were
stretched by his side on the shore. AS

ear Of the sorely wounded lover Fol.

Then all was silent as tine tomb.
The Indian lover knew that the shrek

dragged himself toward the blasted
pine where he was to meet his love.
With dawn came the startling word
to Mahtoree's lodge that the maid Wa.
meta was missing from her place.
Filled with strange forebodlng the
chief hastened with his followers to
make search for the absent maiden,
the Startled Fawn. They came to
the spot on the shore of the lake where
Kayuta had struggled with his foes,
and found WeuthC and his brethren
dead among the bushes. Then, follow

to the blasted pine Drifting near the

eyes fixed upon the shore moaned one
word:

Professor harrington, curator of the
Field Museum, and professor of geo.
logy at the university, has lately re-
turned from a tour Of the Indiana
caves with 300 specimens Of stalac-
tltes, His most interesting find was a
stalactite broken off and marked by a
party of scientists in 1850 which has
grown three-flfths of an inch since
that date. He brought home with him
q column six feet high and one foot
in diameter, which is the largest speci-
men ever obtained for museum.
Figuring from the basis Of the one
which was measured it required about
5400 years for it to grow to its present
size. On the same basis, the professor
thinks, he viii be able to figure out
how long It has taken for the st. Louis
limestone to form.

Among the exhibits at the Paris EX-
position was a phonograph, invented
by Valdemar Poulsen, =. Danish engi-
neer, which uses a wlre-wound instead
Of a waX-coyered cylinder The wire
Is of steel and over it, in place Of the
usual stylus, passes a small electro
magnet connected with telephone
transmitter and battery, The sound
waves cause variation in the inten-
sity of the electro-magnet, and the
magnet acting upon the wire passing
beneath It, leaves a permanent impress
sion upon the latter. Upon reversing
the action the wire reacts on the mag
net and corresponding sounds are
transmitted by the telephone. In or
der to oblterate the magnetic trace on
the cylinder. it is only necessary to re-
volve 1t under the magnet while this is
subjected to q continuous current.

keeper and his wife. The thing savors
too much of the mob spirit which
breaks out all too often against ne
groes and others accused of revolving
crimes There is nothing brave or even
slightly dangerous in thousand men
masking and burning a negro; nor is
there anything elevating in the spec
tacle of a mob of fifty masking
and killing a saloon keepers wife in
the middle of the night.
The general attorney for the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad, upon one of
whose depots in Kansas a mob outrage
was perpetrated, has advised all agents
that they are authorized to treat such
lawless bodies of men as burglars I'M
der the law. and shoot them down if
they will not desist after being called
upon to do SO. The attorney certainly
has the law on his side, and it will be
only a short time before he will have
the weight of public opinion on his side
as well.
Mrs. Nations work has done great
good in arousing the dulled sense of
the people to the extent of open viola
ton of the laws. But the way her fol-
lowers set about righting the wrongs
that are admitted to exist in fragrant
form, is wrong. and defeats the pur
pose of the reform movement.

PHOENIX, A. T., Feb. 19-Prof. C
H. Shaw, an antiquarian of Chicago
and now a resident of Phoenix. who
has delved among the prehistoric ruins
of Arizona for several years, recently
discovered a necklace consisting of
twenty-eight great blue turquoise
and value. The stones were discovered
in an apartment in the ruin near Casa
Grande. containing stone slabs with
inscriptions and pictures. one of them
representing a ruler and armed attend
ants bradishing their weapons in a
close engagement with an indescrib-
able beast. The necklace. stone slabs
and crude implements buried in the
ruins, as well as many other turquoise
stones interspersed in the mound have
cum and form the most valuable part
of a rare collection of relics of anti
guilty from the Indian tribes and pre-
historic races from all parts of Ari-
iona and a few places in Mexico and
New Mexico
Prof. Shaw believes his necklace to
have once been feature of a royal
prehistoric treasury, discovered in the
dwelling of a king. 1t is probably one
of the most magnificent arrays of tur-
quoise in existence and would be a
prize in the treasury of the shah of
Persia.
Arizona tradition tells of the great
prediction of the aborigines for tur-
quoise stones. They displayed beads
and trinkets, bearing many large stones
and they were induced to part with
them by early traders for almost value
less trinkets. The mounds of the
mound builders and the Aztecs in var
ious parts of Arizona and New Mexi-
co. abound in antique vessels of earth
enware studded with the most valu-
able specimens of turquoise.

Justice Brewer of the United States
supreme court in a recent lecture on
the jury system in the United States,
lamented the evils of the present jury
system, calling attention to the fact
that in some states the jurymeE were
locked up at night, paid a laborer's
wages. and curtailed of their liberty in
way that makes men shrink from
jury service and induces them by every
means available to shirk it. He fur
ther said that he hoped the time would
come when the juryman would be
paid a business mans wages and be
treated like gentleman. He favors
the conviction by the majority of a
jury CT twelve men rather than a re-
quirement of unanimity.

Booker Washington says that while
in France in 1898, he was impressed
with two things which help him in his
work for the uplifting of his race: first,
to do things thoroughly; and second,
thrift. Otherwise he thought the

moral earnestness than his own negro
race in America. Everything that
Washington sees is grist for his mill,

theme yesterday afternoon was
christian assurance" He gave ten
reasons backed up by scripture and APP
propriate comment by which one may
determine his or her relation to the
Lord so far as salvation is concerned
The close of this service was one OF
the most unctious in the series. Some
of the parties who came out into the
light of full assurance could hardly re-
press shouting the praise of God.

you cannot deceive God.
There are two periods in life: seed

LAWLESS CRUSADERS DE-
FEAT THEIR OWN ENDS.

The commission of the first murder
in the crusade campaign marks the be
ginning of a new phase of the move
ment. 1t is true, if the chief crusader
had been a man instead of a woman
there would have been bloodshed Ions
ago. The fact that Mrs. Nation is q
woman has brought her immunity from
retaliation and bodily injury on the
part of the joint keepers and their
friends, and from prosecution in the
courts.
One of the chief excuses that have
been offered by women for the extra
ordinary escapades of Mrs. Nation is
that women, not having the ballot, are
compelled to resort to other ways of
asserting themselves in affairs of gov
eminent and public morals. Plausible
as this may seem as an argument for
tunately for the logic, in the very state
of the crusade's origin. In Kansas the
women have a partial right of suffrage;
they can vote in municipal elections,
and have a voice directly, if they so
desire, in the choice of mayors, coun
ellis, and police chiefs. Kansas has
enough laws against liquor selling, but
they are not enforced, and the women
of the cities, having the right to vote,
are as much to blame as the men, if
the men in Office do not enforce the
laws.
The crusade has now reached a point
where it may be said that it is an cpl
demic of lawlessness. The outrages in
Kansas have got to such a pitch that
they can no longer be said to be the re-
suits merely of a public spirited and
unselfish desire to enforce the laws of
the state. 1t is true that the liquor
sellers are in open violation of the law
and thus the women have some right
on their side, although they take a
peculiar method of asserting it. But
when the mob breaks into a railway
station and smashes consignments of
liquor to private individuals, as they
have done in several places in Kansas,
and as they tried to do in a Texas
town, then the Tmobs are simply COM
hitting burglary, and are themselves
violating the law, while their victims
are within the law.
The mobs are coming to bring fire.
arms into play more and more often,
and the result. unless the excitement
quiets down. is sure to be more blood
shed. Mrs. Nation and her immediate
followers contemplated no personal
injury to joint keepers, but there can
be no other motive when fifty men well
armed start out to attack a saloon
