81 Indians We had fired without aim,
and the destruction wrought was due
to luck or accident, but there were 16
redskins lying dead on the sands

noted warriors. Our volleys had ac-

they brought peace for two years. Said
one Of the survivors to me afterwards:

lot of you. We heard the notes of the
death bird and knew you would hear
them also, but we didn't believe you
would understand the warning. Had
you not understood and moved away
not man of you would have escaped"

got sight of him. His mission was to
fly only at night and to tell of peril.

The Stones Burned.

In 1871 Philip Ginler, the discoverer
Of coal at Summit Hill. near Mauch
Chunk, lived in a rough cabin In the
forests on the Mauch Chunk mountain.
While in quest of game for his family,
whom he had left at home without
food of any kind, his foot struck a
black stone. BY the roadside not far
from the town Of Summit Hill he built
a fire of wood and threw pieces of the
supposed stone about it SO that the en-
bers might last longer while he was
roasting a fowl. He was surprised
after little while to see the stones
glow and retain their heat for a long
time. He carried a lot of the coal home
and burned it there. The few neigh
bors soon learned of the discovery, but
there was no mining to any extent in
Carbon county until after the war OF
1872 had begun.

ALL CAN VOTE.

J The question has been discussed
considerably since the opening o
the spring campaign, as to the ne.
cessity Of having paid the poll tax
to enable one to vote in the April
election. To positively settle the
matter, Hon. John H. Poe asked
the opinion Of Attorney General
Guion and received the following
reply:
New Orleans La, Jan. ssth. 1907.
Hon. John H. Poe. Lake Charles La:
My Dear Sir have your letter
Of s3d. inst, and in reply will say
that it is not necessary, in order
for an elector to be permitted to
vote at a municipal election, or any
other election during the present
year, that he should have paid his
poll tax for the past two years.
It was decided by the Supreme
Court in the caseof state exreI Ball
rs. lain, 81 A., p. 2IIO, that the
payment Of the poll tax, required
by the constitution, could not be
exacted IS a prerequisite to the
exercise of the right to vote until
the year 1902.
In other words, no voter is de-
MED the right to vote by reason Of
failure to pay his poll taxes until
the year 1902.
Yours very truly,
WALTER GUIoN.

the hands Of a harbor pilot Then, as
the wide seaway opened before her,
she dropped the pilot, shook of her
swaddling bands, as it were, scorned
air guiding hands, save those of her
masters, hnd turned her head toward
Cape Ann for her life or death race.
The course Of cnIfty.threei knots
had been carefully measured the day
before, and was marked by six boats
and buoys sta1ioped-at intervals OF,
little more than six knots, the total
distance to be gone over twice, out
and in. The path lay directly across
the deep blight in the shore-line of
Massachusetts, and New Hampshire
and ended off Cape Porpoise beyond
Mount Agamenticus on the Maine
coast. The gunboat Hist was the first
stake, and the others were, in their
order, the training ships Lancaster
and Essex, the gunboats Newport and
Peoria, and the naval tug Potomac.
Long before the Illinois reached Cape
Ann she had worked up to high
speed, and when she swept around
the first stake-boat and swung easily
into the path she had to follow. she
was making more than seventeen
knots an hour So smoothly did she
