The unfair attack on the incorpor-
alton of Suffer Greek and the com
mittee's proposed platform by the
Amador Ledger was discussed, and
it was decided to make no reply to
the ame.-Amador Record.
The needless use of the word Gun
fair" is not only reply, but coun-
ter attack and challenge to the
Ledger. We do not know whether
the committee that engaged in the
discussion of the article in the Led
ger or the Record is chargeable with
the employment of that objection
able term. In either case, we in
vite full discussion in support of
this allegation of unfairness. The
Ledger is not addicted to treating
any public question unfairly, but on
the contrary is ever ready to oppose
what it regards as the unfair treat
ment of d public question by others.

NO REAL INDIANS IN CUBA.

But a Race Hitherton Unknown Has
Recently Been discovered.
Stewart Culin. curator of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania Museum of Art
and Science, returned recently from a
trip to Cuba. where he Investigated re-
ports of the existence of savage In
dains in the interior of the island
Although there are no wild red men
there Mr.. Culin found several bands of
so-called Indians who intermarry only
among themselves. possess Indian char
acteristics, straight black hair. copper
colored skin and high cheek bones, but
have no tribal organization. They have
few customs which differ from those of
rural Cuba generally and retain little
more of their own language than is the
common property of the natives.
Concerning the so-calIed Indians in
Cuba representing the aborigines. Gu
ratOr Culin said: There has been an
importation of Indians into Cuba from
Yucatan by way of San Domingo since
the middle of the last century, which
complexities the question of the survi-
val of the aboriginal inhabitants Of
Cuba. From the evidence | procured
in BarracOa there is little doubt that
the Indian settlement at Yara dates
back to the period of the Spanish con-
quest. The native houses are of Indian
design and many of the prevailing Gus.

Wolsey's Casks of Gold.

1t has been suggested that it was i'm n
vault at Hampton Court Palace that
the incident occurred which opened
Henry's eyes to the wealth acquired by
his favorite cardinal
As the story goes, the kings fool was
paying visit TO the cardinals fool.
and the jOcose couple went down into
the wine vaults. For fun one of them
stuck dagger or some other pointed
instrument into the top of cask, and
to his surprise touched something that
clinked like metal. The meddlesOme
pair upon this set TO work and pushed
off the head of the caSk, discovering
that it was full of gold pieces. Other
casks by their sounds gave indications
that they held gold. and not wine. The
kings fool stored UP his secret. and one
day. when Henry VIII. was boastins
cally:
You have not such wine. sire. as my
lord cardinal. for he hath casks In his
cellar worth thousand broad pieces
each" And then he told what he had
detected. Whether this be true or not.
it is certain that WOlsey was so far
awake to the fact that he was so sus-
pected by the monarch. as TO deem it
prudent to present him with Hampton
Court.

Arab word for it is mumia. hence our
word mummy. To reach the period
when this man hunted along the banks
of the Nile il is necessary to travel
backward in time through the modern
period since Elizabeth. through medieval
Europe. through the whole history of
Rome and Greece. past the time of the
earliest mummied king the museum
possesses. past even Menes, the earliest
king to which Egyptian records make
reference, who, according to Mariette,
rIled about 1904 b. c. Then we are
among two prehistoric races. one of the
cOnquerOrs and the other the conquer
ed. out of which sprang the Egyptian
race of the earliest dynasties. 1t is
with these remote stocks that this man
Is connected.
Considering the conditions in which
he was found. it is evident that he was
associated with a late period of the
new stone age of Egypt. He was bur-
led in characteristically neolithic

covered with rude slabs of stone). and

weapons and knives found in other
parts of the world. The fine, thin
knives We're perhaps placed in the
grave part of funeral ritual. They
should be compared with the Egyptian
fiints in the prehistoric section of the
museum; they are almost identical with
those found in the grave. There is, of
course, no inscription of any kind on
the pots. knives or grave, all having
been made long before the invention of
written language. 1t is curious to
note that certain Egyptian documents
mention traditions of race called the
Trehennu. who had red hair and blue
eyes. This man had distinctly auburn
hair. He was buried on the western
shore. In later times every Egyptian
was buried on that side of the river,
and Egyptian models Of the death boats
on which the body was ferried over the
stream may be seen in the Egyptian
gallery.-The Sphere.

Ii she thought that her adOred Charles

But the postscript was the unkindest

which her father alluded to ''the young
