An observation in a recent Courier
has attracted some adverse comment.
Certain readers of these columns have
said to the editor that she Is too Sc
we're upon the foibles Of youth. The
foibles Of the young, The foibles Of the
young are the crimes Of the old, unless
when the foibles of the young are
brought to their attention, call them
by their right names and utter the
warning they have lived to know Is
needed.
There are a number of mothers I'm
Lincoln who take their young daugh-
tiers or sons with them when they go
marketing Of mornings. 1t Is natural
when a yOungster passes a tempting
basket Of fruit to take a cherry or an
apple or pinch of a grape. The moth
ers complacently contemplate the ac-
tions Of their children and occasionally
pilfer themselves, during the matuti-
nal round Of the groceries and the fruit
stands. There Is impotent wrath In
the grocer's breast as he sees what he
regards as imps mutilating his top
fruit, but he can not reproach them for
fear Of losing a good customer, and he
smiles the hypocritical grocer's smile.
Well! These children, grown older, are
students in the high school. They see
gloves or mittens or books that they
want and they take them. The Incl
dent that they belong to some one else
mothers silence has taught them this
at time when they were learning the
ineffaceable lessons of childhood.
At a later period these boys or girls
are in the university and they steal
whatever stray wraps, books or pocket
books they find lying loosely about as
though they were in the grocery store
and the articles were dried currants OF
raisins.
Later some of the boys whose educa-
ton was begun by their mothers are
employed in a bank or store where they
have access to money or goods. They
have taken things all their lives that
did not belong to them. Why should
they first draw line now? Five dol
lars Is no larger to a young man than
an apple is to little boy who chances
to be very fond of apples and trifie
hungry. Then for the first time when
the boy is arrested and his family dis
graced, his mother reproaches him and
accuses him Of ingratitude and of IN
filial selfishness. She does not know
that all the trouble began In the gro
Gerry store and her failure to impress
upon a plastic mind and a tender con-
science that stealing Is taking any
thing which belongs to someone else.
whether it is a raisin or a dollar or a
brick of ice cream.
There is a woman in Lincoln who is
the mother of five sons They are mid
dle-aged men now with families of
their own. All of them are respected
by their fellow-men. Not one Of the
sons has ever made money by playing
tricks on his fellows. They have kept
in mind the early lessons Of their
strenuous mother who taught them

Nine. Marchesi, the teacher of most
Of the contemporary prime donne. and
her husband, the Marquis de CastrOnia,
have just celebrated their golden we'd
ding in Paris. The bridesmaids were
Nine Marchesis American pupils. This
famous teacher is a sort Of st. Peter
at the gate of a vocal paradise to
American girls who have good reasons
for believing that they have voices
which will electrify the world il prop
erly trained and developed. She is a
somewhat commonplace appearing old
lady, but many a girl has thought her
existence depended upon the Madame's
verdict No bewildered soul seeking a
way to Heaven is more frightened and
hopeful than the young woman with a
voice who goes to Madame Marchesi to
be told IL she can become Patti or a
Nordica or a Christine Nelson.
1t was fitting that the bridesmaids of
her wedding anniversary should be
American girls. For the last thirty
years a procession of American girls
has passed into her door. Some Of them
went in despair and came out hopeful
and some of the girls went to see her
in provincial over-confidence and came
away with the first sensible and sincere
vocal advice they ever received; came
away to return to their homes and ac-
cept the secluded existence for which
alone their modest talents were fitted.
But of this latter type there are not
many. A great army of self-deceived
girls with small domestic voices persist
in thinking they were born for the con-
cert or opera stage, and, such is their
large influence at home, succeed in con-
vincing their parents that they have
voices it will pay to spend several thou
sand dollars on For this kind there is
only bitter disappointment in return
for the waste and misuse of the limited
family income.
Nine. Marchesi is a woman of imag-
ination or she could not be a great mu-
stefan, and besides she Is a woman.
She is. therefore, doubtless aware Of
the tragedies which ring her bell and
enter her studio every day. Sameness

Van5alism

The residents of Lincoln have re-
sponded to the exhortations of the City
Improvement society as well as to
their own longing for beauty and or
der. The very large number of house.
holders who keep neat lawns are dis
couraged by thieving men. women and
children who come at night and carry
of plants and flowers and ruthlessly
trample the lawn and flower beds.
Every part of the city is infested by
thieves, who defeat efforts to create
beauty by uprooting plants and max
ing paths across lawns. The grocers'
boys and all kinds of hucksters and
delivery men walk on the lawn and
make dusty paths where the owner OF
the lawn desires the grass TO grow.
Wires stretched across corners to keep
pedestrians on the walk are torn
down, and a flower in bloom on the
lawn is picked after only few hours
of decorative existence. The society Is
respectfully invited by hundreds Of
resident gardeners to consider this
question for the purpose of discovering
some means by which the vandalism
and destruction of plants and lawns
may be lessened, il il can not be en-
tirely prevented.

ly calling. So rigorous is this law that even the shadow of a stranger of low caste or no caste falling upon food ren- ders it unfit for use. Hence the kitchen at Moray Lodge Is really beyond the ken of curious eyes-being accessible only to one who is himself a high-caste Hindoo.
 The one exception to this law is in re- gard to ripe fruit. Ripe fruit, which can be eaten without being cooked, is direct bounty of mother earth. Low caste, or alien, hands cannot affect it, since all that she supplies is deemed to be sanctified.
 The kitchen utensils employed for cooking are rather curious, and in Eng fish estimation, somewhat weird and fantastic. They are all of beaten brass, earthenware, or copper well tinned; all of strange shapes. The stove is prim- tive concern, being merely three sides of a hollow square of bricks, filled with wood or charcoal. But it is the gradual cooking over this slow fire that gives to most Indian dishes their exquisite fla vor.-London Express.

DEATH OF 4MASA SPRAGUE.
M em ber of Once Widely Known Firm
 ofA & w. sprague.

Warwick, R. l.. Aug. 4. - Amasa Sprague, senior firm member of the once widely known A. & W. Sprague Manufacturing company, died this af- ternoon at his home in Conset Heights, aged seventy-four years. His brother William, who survives, was the War governor" of Rhode Island and in 1861 responded to President Lincoln's call for troops to defend Washington by talk ing the field in person. Amasa Sprague was a colonel on his brothers staff. The boyhood career of the deceased l was not eventful. He was born in Cranston, and at seventeen, with Will liam, assumed management of the great manufacturing and cotton print ing properties of his parents. Their ! holdings increased rapidly and before many years they had three plants in this state, and at Baltic, Conn, and Kennebunk, Me.
 l In the early fifties, the Spragues operated horse freight line between Cranston and Providence, and after wards built passenger line. In 1S6I they built the Narragansett race track
 In 1873 business reverses overlook the family and the greater part of the es. tate, including their immense printing plants, went into other hands.
 The output of the Sprague mills ther was greater than that of all the othel factories in the United States combined and a member of the family recently said that for the year preceding thu panic the books showed profit of $2O 900, ,O00.
 But the depression which followed tn war had it's effect and the great con cern went down, the properties wer sold and the two men retired from tn textile world.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES.
Rhythmic, the Blind Trotter, Takes the
 2.3O Event.

Buffalo, N. Y, Aug. 4.-The fourth week of the grand circuit opened at the Fort Erie track to-day with clear skies and fast track. Three races were de- cided, each in straight heats.
 In the 2:30 trot Rhythmic, the blind trotter, was favorite, $50 against the field S2O and when it came to racing 1t was all Rhythmic. Both Directum Spier and Johnny tried to beat the favorite but did not have the speed. In winning Rhythmic reduced his record from 2:11 1-2 to 2:09 3-4.
 Dan R. won the 2:0S pace just as cleV- erly. There was nothing in the race i that could give the sorrel pacer a race to-day. Dan R. sold at $50 against the field $40 and was always in front. Geers could not do much with Fred s. Wedge wood and New Richmond showed the best of those behind Dan R. The lat l ter's record was cut second to 2:O4 3-4. The 2:12 trot brought out big field of eleven horses and there was tedious scoring. Dan T. had the pole and also the speed, winning in three straight heats, hard pressed by Border. Dan T. sold in the field, the first pooling being Hawthorne $50: Leola $50; Lady Thisbe $26; the field SIP. A record was made the nine heats decided giving the fastest
 average of any day this season. Sum l mar:eS;

As a curious point it may be mentioned that the COW is held in yene- ration in India because she gives us milk; hence she is like a foster mother, and "is also the type of the earth, the universal mothe
 The flesh of animals is, as a rule, for bidden because most animals are un- cean. (Beef for the opposite reason: the COW is sacred, not unclean.) Sheep and goats are deemed to be clean, hence the exception. But even their flesh can be eaten only when the sheep or the goat has been killed as a sacrifice to the goddess Kali. Hence most peculiar conditions have to be fulfilled to make the sacrifice valid. CD The sheep or the goat must be a male; the goddess will accept no creature in sacrifice that is of her own sex. @ The head of the vic tim must be severed at a single blow. If there be more than one blow or any mutilation or hacking in the act of kill ing the sacrifice becomes a sacrilege (3) The slayer of the victim must be Of the priestly caste, not a mere butcher. Usually little idol of Kali is set up, garlanded with marigold, and brazier filled with burning charcoal is placed upon a tripod before the idol. In that case the priest drops a few grains of In tA form of prayer.
 | The head and neck of the victim are l first bathed in Ganges water-a large supply of which has been brought by the Maharajah of Jaipur The execu- tion block Is merely post foot and half off the ground and forked at the l top like Y. Into this the head of the victim is placed and bound with cord. An assistant seizes the animal from behind-its hind legs in one hand and fore legs in the other-and stretches out the creature in horizontal position. | Then the priest deals the blow from the side. All this is done suddenly quickly; the time that elapses from the 1 placing of the head on the block and the actual killing is never more than ten seconds, and usually only five.
 In this connection it may be men, tioned that place is now fitted out al Wimbledon as a, temporary shrine oi
 Kali, where sheep and goats are slair every morning for the use of the 1ndiar
 princes and their suites. The priest, o1

HINDOOs IN LONDON.
Oriental Rites and Customs Vigorously
 Followed


 Followed.
 The rigorous caste laws of India have introduced a peculiar difficulty in the entertainment of the Indian representa- tlves now in England for the corona ton But such is the forethought and careful regard for Hindoo susceptibili- ties shown by those who have charge of their reception and accommodation in England that, notwithstanding the magnitude of the respon nsibility, the h. dian visitors-princes, followers and Se- poys alike-will be as comfortably lodged and as scrupulously safeguarded regarding their caste observances as in their own homes in India.
 Owing to special circumstances, the case of the Maharajah of Jaipur has presented exceptional, diTculties; hence solution in his case,implies solution in that of all others 'His Highness has never left India before, did not speak word of English, was of the very high est caste, and, if possible, ultra-scrupu- i lous regarding all ordinances of his 1 faith But so splendid is the organiza- tion that every difficulty has been met and solved.
 i His Highness came in new ship, in which beef or pork could never have i been used-for the mere presence of either in the house or ship in which he 1 himself took food would have lost him his case. So, when compelled to cross the channel from Calais in an old steamer. he abstained from food or drink during the passage.
 In London the king assigned to him Moray Lodge, Campden Hill, which has been practically rebuilt for him as an Indian palace, and in the magnificent grounds of which separate accommoda- tions have been erected for every var1e- ty of caste among his large retlnue; thus fer the time being Moray Lodge is according to every Hindoo ordinance, a part of the royal palace at Jaipur.
 His Highness is surrounded with al the splendor and luxury of his own court, and the members of his suite re- tain their accustomed habits and modes of life, and follow their usual routine as in India. To insure this they nave brought with them a complete supply oi every commodity that may be needed for their own or his Highness' use.
 Caste laws affect every aspect of hin doc life in a manner scarcely to be req lized by western minds. The question of food is perhaps typical. A higl caste and orthodox Hindoo must prac } tically restrict himself to vegetables The exceptions are few-fish' milk' nut

ROmau Suffering With Disease Walked
From Br.dgeVille to Nassau
Special 70 the evening journal.

Lewes, Aug. SO.-One case of small
pox and one or two suspects are among
t-e colored folks at Nassau, about
three miles above Lewes The parties
had been over in the western side OF
the county, where there has been more
or less OF the disease for the past year.
and it was there That they contracted

One woman, who was broken out
with the disease. walked from Bridge
vile to Iewcs along the Queen Anne
railroad and when her presence be-
came known it caused much excite
ment among the farmers. One guarded
his home with a shotgun and when
the woman approached shouted to her
that he would shoot her if she dared
venture that way. She then. went TO
Nassau in a roundabout way, where
she was compelled TO take refuge in a
vacant farmhouse. and the Board OF
Health was notified. Drs. Orr and Hall
examined one suspect at work at the
Fisheries Company's plant but pro-
nounced his case other than smallpox.
