Vengeance of n Mob.

Columbia, Miss, Oct. Pa negro
named Bill Morris, who assaulted Mrs.
John Ball at Balltown, La, was
burned at the stake Thursday. After
being captured he made an effort to
implicate others, but they soon proved
their innocence. He was taken to the
scene of his crime, tied to pine
sapling with chains and his hands and
feet chained to his body. Pine knots
and pine straw were piled about the
body and saturated with coal oil and
the whole set on fire. The negro made
no outcry when the flames first
reached him, and only when he was
partly consumed did the spectators
notice any movement on his part. He
made no resistance when being bound
to the stake and said that he deserved
his fate.

DEBT WILL BE ENORMOUS.
The Pan-American Exposition VIII
Close Owing a Total of
About $i,1OO,OOO.

Buffalo, n. Y, Oct. 24.-At a meet
ing of the executive committee of
the Pan-American exposition Wednes-
day afternoon an unofficial statement
was made that the exposition prob
ably will default in the sum of s4,-
100000. This will include 100000 of
the first mortgage bonds, 100000 of
second mortgage bonds, $2,100,0 900
stock, and other indebtedness, ST.
100000. The question which will now
perturb the holders of exposition pa
per is whether the stockholders can
be assessed for the shortage of $4,-
100000. While it is not believed they
can, the matter is yet to be decided.
Many of the building contractors have
been paid only 30 per cent. on their
contracts, and there is little prospect
that they will ever receive any more.
A plumber who obtained Judgment
against the exposition has laid claim
to one of the buildings to satisfy the
judgment. Other suits are pending
against the exposition company.

SOMETHING ABOUT CARROTS.

A strip is prepared from carrots.
Carrot is easy of digestion, and
gently laxative.
Boiled carrot is used as poultice for
foul sores, and as vermifuge.
Carrots, when cut into small pieces
and roasted, are occasionally used as
a substitute for coffee in Germany.
A strong ardent spirit is distilled
from carrots in some parts of Europe,
ten pounds Of carrots yielding about
half pint.
In the reign of Charles i. ladies wore
carrot leaves as an ornament instead
of feathers; and the beauty Of the
leaves is still acknowledged by placing
a root, or the upper portion of one, in
water, that it may throw out young
leaves to adorn apartments in winter.

HAZING A THING OF PAST.
IL Hns Practically Been stamped
Ont of West Point MILF
tary Academy.

Washington. Oct. 25.-The most inn
portant feature of the annual report
of Col. A. l.. Mills, superintendent of
the military academy, relates to the
measures taken for the suppression
of hazing. Treating of discipline he
says:
"The discipline OF the corps of cadets has
greatly improved during the year, and Is
now In an excellent state. 1t Is believed no
military body of Its size exists which eX-
GELS It In soldieriy appearance and In the
perfection of drill ard military exercises,
as we'll as in the higher require ments OF de-
votion to duty. This satisfactory conci-
tion has been attained by firm adherence
to the measures adopted during the past
three years to create among the cadets
higher soldierly regard for their obliga-
lions. in particular those pertaining TO
hazing."
He then reviews what has been done,
mentions the criticisms passed upon the
academy. the measures taken to stop haz-
ing. and adds:
Throughout the past summers eIcamp-
ment. which is the time when new cadets
are being initiated into their new life. and
when hazing Is ordinarily practiced. II Is a
fact that the great majority OF cadets have
obeyed the new order of affairs and the
regulations Loyalty and willingly. Not one
lieved to have occurred: none have been
required to perform services Of mental
nature for old cadets: there has been no
prearranged fighting, and new cadet train
ing has made exceptional progress One
cadet was severely punished for giving ar
unauthorized and absurd order to a new
cadet. and another for exceeding his au-
thority as a drillmaster over them. The
action of the latter Is, 1t Is believed.
through excessive zeal rather than haz-
ing spirit. Another reform has also been
accepte6-the abolition of what Is known
as Official hazing or the harsh and nagging
tones of the cadet instructors over new
cadets and cadet officers exercising author
ity, and the substitution therefor of meth
DDS more appropriate for the training and
education OF young men to command in an
American army.
THE reforms that have been Indicated
mark an important era In the history Of
discipline and military instruction at the
academy. Diligence and discretion on the
part OF responsible officers will make these
reforms permanent, without IN the slight
est degree marring the perfection Of Gill;
appearance and discipline. The custom
among cadets OF settling disputes or dim
culties among themselves by prearranged
and often brutal fist fights is over. and
there need be no apprehension that the
stoppage of such affairs will in any way i'm
pair a proper habit of manly self-defense
against personal assaults or insult

To him who knows not where to 60, there

the latter without acquiring the former.
The elevation of the mountains varies from
1000 to 1000 feet, and are one dense growth

every year, there seems to be no noticeable

The foreign mantis is a candidate for human friendship and is bidding for @ high place in horticultural circles in this country. He is an insect eating insect, and has TO use for the tender leaves, shoots, blossoms and fruits, ex- ceping hunting ground, where he pursues and devours other insects that destroy these things. Therefore for nstry and fruit people are cultiva ting the mantis. He is not at all uncom~ mon in France and Germany, where he is highly appreciated, but he has only recently been imported into this coun- try, having came as a stowaway in some nursery stock. He preys on all insects except ants, and his favorite diet is grasshoppers, spiders and cater pillars. Fruit raising people are per iectly willing that he should make an exhaustive meal of the latter.-N. Y. World.
