SATURDAY EVENING, AUG. "a, 1901

TIE SCENE last night on King street
w,san object lesson and patent Illus
fration of what mankind Is capable Of
doing when excitement Temporarily
blurs all the senses. Men and boys
gathered from every point Of the com
pass to. that street and listened 10 the
incoherent rawlings OF drunken man
who was anxious to become the leader
of mob. Youths, hardly old enough
to find their way home, animated by
about as much thought ss when gain
cred at bonfire, marched through the
streets in punches anxious to witness
the thrilling scenes incident to mob
vengeance, while many men, with SINH
lar morbid tastes. who delight to feed
upon excitement, we're present and
ready TO conyulse the community by
enactiDg scenes their more conserva'
tive reflections In later years would
have condemned. Fortunately the
programme was doomed to miscarriage.
The victim was non est inventus, as we
say in law, having very judiciously
been removed from mob fury. The To-
diyidual whose blood was demanded
doubtless has no claim upon a respecta-
BILE community. He had long since for
feited it. and the crime for which he
stands char ed is one OF an atrocious
nature, and the demands Of the law,
will, OF course, take him from the
horns OF the altar 10 the city of refuge
where he is now trembling and bring
him to justice. This should be the
proper procedure. ALI OF US are not
called upon to be the avengers OF
blood. No city can be governed by
mob law, nor can its affairs be trans
acted by mass meetings. There are
men elected to deal with criminals.
They should be upheld and the citizens
OF com munity should give them their
aid aud neoursgemeut at ell times,
and especially at critical moments when
they are endesvoring to carry ont the
laws. There can be little excuse for
last nights demonstration. and when
those who were engaged 10 it resume
their normal tranquility we believe
they will think so, too. lis disagree
able procedure to be compelled 10 pass
sentence on any one, even when COM
PEELED to do 81 by virtue Of solemn Of
fetal duty. When not placed in such
positions we should breathe easier over
the fact that outraged heaven has not
called upon US to WELD the sword of
vengeance. And now at the approach
OF the first day of the week, the ami
versary of the resurrection OF One who
ever manifested merciiul vein in all
His teachings, let common sense take
the place of the cry foT blood, and may
all remember that He who sat upon the
Mount of Olives over eighteen centu-
rles ago and pronounced a blessing
upon His hearers il they acted upon
the spirit Of mercy spoke in language
we all understand, the practice of which
will be profitable in this world and emf.
nently so in that which Is to come.

A NEW CURE There Ia colony of
invalids on Thimble Island, of Bran
ford, Conn.,, who nave ceased eating
and are partsking of a new cure
plain milk. IL is said to have effected
Two remarkable cures, one case with
which scientists were unable to cope.
There are nine 10 the colony, and each
invalid declares himself greatly bene-
fled by the newly discovered remedy.
AS far as can be learned. Philip II.
Robinson, Register of the Catholic Uni
versity, at Washington. ID. c., and for
merly Of New Haven, is the discoverer OF
The medical properties OF milk. Mr.. Rob
iuson has suffered great many years
with nervous disease, which specialists
have been unable to benefit. Because, as
be says, he WAS tired OF everything, In
clading eating, he determined little
more than a month ago, to forego food
and live on milk, The success of his ex-
perience has more than surprised him 10
the month that he lived without solid
food of any kind he has gained eight
pounds 10 weight and his nervous disor-
der has disappeared. He drinks ten
quarts day, glass at time. at inter-
walls of half an hour. He declares that
he will never eat again. Another dis
oiple OF the milk cure is Camillus h.
OAtmsD, professor at Williams Col
lege. He suffered with chronic kidney
trouble, was Induced by Prof. Robinson
to try milk, and, having gained six
pounds in weight, believes himself
cured.

SOMETHING may be said on Turkey g
side OF the dispute fastened upon her by
the French Ambassador at CONSTANT
nople. AS yet the French gOvernment
has not openly taken hand 10 the
controversy. and rupture" is only
personal between M. Constans and the
Sultan. The qusys at Constsntinople,
which the French Ambassador insists
shall be taken by the Porte at price
determined by their French owners,
are white elephants, so to speak. When
they had been completed it was found
that while they we're great conven-
fences to commerce, the docking
charges requisite in making the invest
meut a dividend-psying one we're pro-
hibitive. Under pressure from the
owners the French government de-
manded from the Sultan a frman to
make the use of the quays by all vessels
entering the Golden Horn compulsory
indeed, the concession granted to the
French promoters contained 10 the first
place provision to that effect. This
demand of the French government
however, was opposed by the represent.
stives OF the maritime powers at the
Turkish capital as being contrary to
the stipulations OF their commercial
treaties with the Sultsn's government
limiting port charges on merchandise
imported into the Turkish Empire to a
maximum OF one-eighth of one per cent.
The Sultan was thus confronted with
the horns OF a dilemma. He was ex.
pected either to break faith with the
French contractors or with Great
Britain, Austria, Germany and other
nations whose citizens are engaged In
commerce with Turkey. The alterna.
tive presented to the Sultan was to
purchase the French qusys for some.
thing like 100000 francs and throw
them open without extra charge to the
use of the merchants Of the world. The
amount to be raised is large for Gov.
eminent so nearly bankrupt as is that
OF Turkey.

TALE OF TREACHERY
Modoc Tribe Wiped Out by Self.
Seeking White Men.
Princess Mary, Surviving Sister Of
the Famous Capt. Jack, Tells the
story of Her Peoples Mis-
fortunes and Misery

1t is pitiful tale of a vanishing
race that comes from the pen of the
artist Burbank, who had been paying
visit to the remnant of the Modoc
tribe in the Indian territory. There
are left only so of this once numer-
Gus and warlike people. Princess
Mary, sister of the Modoc chief,
Capt. Jack, who was hanged so years
ago for a bit of treachery to the
whites, told the story to the artist
of her tribes woes.
Years ago there were many Mo-
docs. They lived in southern Oregon
along the banks of the Lost river.
The whites invaded the country with
out an attempt at treaty. A from
tiersman named Ben Wright lost a
friend or two in a battle with the
Indians. He plotted revenge. At
first he formsl a wagon train and
into each covered vehicle he loaded
armed men. The train had the APP
pearance of q peaceful settlers car
avan. The wagons were driven into
the Modocs' country. The warriors
came to the hills, looked at the train
and did not attack. The ruse failed.
Then Ben Wright put on the garb
of a peaceful trader, and sending
out some runners induced men, WON
en- and children of the Modoc tribe
to meet him at the base of some
foothills, there to exchange pelts
for coveted gewgaws. The Modocs
came unarmed. They squatted in q
great group in front of the supposed
trader. Suddenly the hillside was
afiame. The rifles of more than a
hundred concealed men opened on
the defenseless Modocs. They broke
and fed, but left scores of dead and
wounded behind. The whites saw to
1t that the wounded speedily Joined
the ranks of the dead. Capt. Jack
as boy was present at this massa-
ere. Years afterward, when stand.
