EvADING The LAW.
me fictnres of Flying Birds In =
Mohnmm edan Mosque.

-
According 10 one of the tenets Of the
Mohanmedan religion. 1t is a sin to
make picture OF any living thing. The
elaborate decorations of the palaces
anu mosques OF the east are almost ex.
cluslveiy made up Of ingeniously inter
laced geometrc designs. arabesques OF
lowers, intermixed with sentences Of
the Koran.
There Is belief among Mussulmans
that at the day OF judgment Allah will
demand that the artist who has made
the image OF living thing shall endow
that image with life and that, failing to
do this. the artist will be sent to perdi
ton for his sin.
A gentleman who visited mosque In
Alglers found that the tiles with which
the building is decorated. which are
very old and beautiful. are adorned
with flights Of birds He expressed sur
prise at this and asked IL the command
against such representation were a
modern edict
"Oh. no. answered the pious Alge
rian TO whom he addressed the ques
ton. These are not pictures Of living
BIRDS
But they are painted as II flying
across the tiles" the other said In some
ns;onishment
Yes. the Mussuman replied. but
do You not see that about the neck OF
each there Is Il fine black liner That is
TO show that the artist painted only
dead birds. ana the command OF the
Kora is nor violated"

A BANANA TREE.
The Fruit Grows small End Up and
II Chr While unrtpe.

10 Cut While lnrfpe.
Contrary to popular belief, bananas
do not grow on the tree as they hang IL
the grocery. but with the small end OF
the fruit pointing upward-to all ap
pearances upside down.
There is probably no other fruit OF
such universal consumption about
which SO little is known to the average
person as the banana. Something like
1OO,OOO,000 punches are annually eaten
In this country alone, but scarcely one
man in a thousand not connected with
the business knows what banana tree
looks like.
The fruit is never allowed to ripen or
the tree, but Is cut half or three-quar
tiers "full"-that Is, half to three-quar
tiers developed-according to the dis
lance 1t is to be shipped, and comes &c
maturity by feeding from the stalk,
which contains large amount OF sap.
Bananas cut In this way attain prac
tically the same size as If allowed to
remain on the tree, in which case the
bunch becomes too much OF a burden
for Its support and either falls oil
breaks the tree and ripens on the
ground.
After the cutting the plantation Is
cleaned" which merely consists OF
severing the standing trunks within a
few feet OF the ground. and new tree
comes forth from the remains of Its
predecessor. so that the fruit In all
stages OF growth is to be found at the
same time and the yield is continuous.

Heirs 10 The Fair Estate
10 Settle Without
Litigation.

By Union Associated Press.
New York. July 16.- Mrs. Ed.
ward Letter, wife of the oldest
nephew of Mrs. Chas. Fair SAID
today: ''There will probably be
no contest over the Fair estate by
the relatives on either side, My
husband called on number of
Mr.. Fairs friends last night;
they do not want further contest
over the Fair millions, the estate
has been under litigation so much
that all concerned are anxious
for the matter to be settled now
without further difficulty. Our
impression now is that there will
be an equal division of the estate,
should the courts decide that the
deaths of Mr.. and Mrs. Fair
were instantaneous; If it is de.
eided that Mr.. Fair died first, or
his will should be found that will
dispose of everything.

it was not until twenty years
after, on July 4th, 1868, that a
treaty was made providing for
the formation of a commission
of claims to which the bishop of
the present state of California
presented a claim In behalf OF
his. diocese, for an equitable
share of the annual interest due
from the republic of Mexico, and
with which it had charged itself
before the Mexican war. The
com mission awarded the Califor-
MIA church more than $4,000,
which Mexico paid. Since Feb
ruary l. 1869, there has been nc
distribution of interest, and the
United States government now
seeks through the Hague tribu
nal to secure the share alleged tt
bedue to'the diocese Of California
Mexico opposes the claim prlnci
pally on the ground that th'
catholic church in California dit
not inherit the rights and shares
of the Mexican church.

their way to the Hague.
The proceedings at the Hague
will be. followed with close inter
est by all thecountries of Europe
as we'll as America the case is
the first to come before the per-

measure. serve as test OF the
efficiency and necessity of such
a body.
Under the treaty providing for
settling the pious fund claim, no
citizen of Mexico or the United

traitor. The agreement was the
direct outcome of the refusal Of
the Salvador arbitrator to agree
to the award made recently by

has been prepared with great
care by solicitor Penheld and

FOR PERSONAL SATISFACTION.

Friends of Senator Frank H. Farris. who are In
sisting that If Democrats refuse to vote for him his
followers will scratch Democratic legislative nom
inees, are furnishing the very best reason why an in
dependent Democratic candidate should be supported
in preference TO Farrs.
If FarriS is so desperate that he must resort to
threats of this sort. even though cOnfesSing that the
legislative candidates have nothing to do with the
opposition to him, 1t is time for the better sort Of
Democrats to call the bluff which his friends make.
The boycott which his friends propose is character
iStic of the political school with which he has been
identified. 1t is a hOld-up method similar to those
practiced by the combination of Republicans and So
called Democrats in the State Senate.
Even if Farris were foolhardy enough to undertake
such n scheme, it is doubtful whether he could carry
out the threat. If the Democrats of the Twenty
fourth Senatorial District are TO submit TO bulldoZinS
tactics. they will let him proceed as his friends claim
he can and will do.
Legislative nominees will hardly allow themselves
TO he bluffed by such threats. ANY man who is afraid
to run on his merits will take up the challenge of the
vaporing friends of Farris. The lobby can go Only so
far in this State and the length marked ont for its
work by the friends of Farris in the Twenty-fourth
is beyond possibility of success. No Democratic legis-
lative nominee will or can be defeated by the Opposi-
ton of Farris.

necessary to chronicle the apparent fact that a young
woman had been found dead in the wineroom Of a
certain Mr.. O'Haras saloon at 1 o'clock in the morn
ing.
Commenting editorially on this item, the Tribune
feels called upon to contend-can it be ironically.
that such a happening was impossible. In the first
place, the Tribune claims, the Chicago police assert
that all saloons in that city are closed at midnight. In
the second place, they assert with equal positiveness
that there are no winerooms In Chicago. How. then,
the Tribune asks, could this young woman have been
found dead in an Imaginary wineroom attachment
of a saloon that was closed at midnight and yet open
at l in the morning?
The incident thus commented upon by the Chicago
Tribune is certainly astounding. 1t must be that such
n contradictory and seemingly impossible thing could
happen only in Chicago. Now, in st. Louis, for in
stance-you don't suppose this city could duplicate
the Chicago tragedy, do you? Let us rejoice thai we,
at Least, have abolished the wineroom evil and the
Open-all-night saloon. Have we?
