makes the cross-bow rather recent by comparison. It always irritates me to see any of our troops armed with such weapon. I want to see each man have the best weapon-but if the man is poor creature, no matter how good his weapon is he will be beaten by good man with club. I want the best type of weapon, but I want the man behind the gun. It Is so in our civic life, in citizenship. want to see a good framework of labor organization--I books for all of us-I want to see our admirable constitution, whenever the need comes, rendered still more admira- ble even if 1t is necessary to amend it.
 But remembering the importance of all that, Oh, my friends, what I hope we , will never forget Is that in the last
 resort the problem of good citizenship is the problem of producing good men and women. That is the fundamental problem. All the organizations in the world, the best development of the brotherhood, will not make a coward or a. shirk a good engineer, or a good fire man and the best law, the best consti- tuition will work but i'll if We have not in the average citizen that which counts for more than intellect and stands far above intellect, as intellect stands above mere brute strength character: character that is composed of three elements-of honesty, of cour- age, and of hard common sense.

On the whole, it is felt that the termin- ation of Killick's career in summary fashion may have salutary effect, not only in Hayti, but also in South and Central American countries, where heretofore the slightest revolutionary disturbance has been made the pretext for vexatious and expensive interfer- ence with foreign merchant vessels.

mingan annexation movement in the seventies will be remembered. Presi- dent Grant favored it, but congress Vo- ted him down and public sentiment was overwhelmingly against him-
 We have grown more imperial since then. but will scarcely want Jamaica unless we wish to increase all the race difficulties which are just now proving so troublesome to us. Jamaica is grow ing steadily poorer year after year. in spite of being fertile country. Not all the power of the great British empire could prevent this: could not stop the decline and decay of the white popula- ton nor prevent the numerical superb ority of the negroes; and it could not make these tropical negroes work when they could get bananas enough to keep them alive without work. No greater folly could be imagined than to annex million lazy negroes, filled with un- friendly sentiment, in land which the white population and industry have abandoned after three centuries of des- perate struggle.
 Great Britain has managed at great expense dilu worry u save OoLioACo from the fate of Hayti. but that is all. America will do well to have nothing to do with these Jamaica negroes. We have in our own nine million negroes as difficult problem to solve as any coun- try ever had before 1t, instead of trying to make American citizens of another million of hostile blacks, far inferior to our own darkeys, for they are infected with the laziness of the tropics and with race hostility to the whites, dis played in a dozen servile and race out breaks, in which thousands of lives have been sacrificed. Even imperial ism will halt at this prospect.-NeW Orleans Times Dem.)

 It was evidentFthat these resolutions were not radical enough to suit the so- cialists who were present. but they were adopted, though in a half hearted sort of way
 Thereupon David Taylor, of Boston. the socialist party's candidate for state treasurer, offered the following, which was carried with a rush by almost a unanimous vote: That the people of Massachusetts demand that the govern- ment own and operate the coal mines as the best and surest means of ending the strike in the anthracite region, and as means of securing justice for the miners and preventing such deplorabe conditions in the future" The meeting soon after adjourned.

THE HEADsMAN's PERoUIsITEs.

THE HEADSMAN'S PERoUIsITEs.
 Strange and unreasonable laws guar anteed to the headsman his full share of emoluments. He was we'll paid for his work, and never suffered from dull season. From the towns he received poultry and fodder, from the monaste- ries fish and game. The Abbaye de Saint-Gernain gave him every year a pigs head; the Abbaye de Saine-Mar- tin five loaves of bread and five bottles of wine. Cakes were baked for him on the eve of Epiphany. For each leper in the community he exacted-Heaven knows why-a tax at Christmas time. Les files de joie were his vassals. It was his privilege to seize in the market place as much corn as he could carry away in his hands, and the peasants thus freely robbed submitted without a murmur, crossing themselves with fer vor as he passed. He had the power to save from death any woman on her way to the scaffold, provided he were able and wiling to marry her. He was the first official called to the body of a suicide, and, standing on the dead mans breast, he claimed as his own everything he could touch with the point of his long sword.-Agnes Rep- plier in Harper's Magazine.

Boston, Sept. S.-A meeting that was announced to be nonpartisan in it's character, called for the purpose of pro- testing against the continuance of the coal strike, was held in Faneuil hall to- night and was addressed by speakers of different political faiths, but the so- cialist element was so strongly In evil dence that the meeting took more of the nature of a socialist gathering than that of more conservative element.

Panther Ordered to Capture the Rebel
 Boat.
 Berlin Sept. s.-The German Foreign Office says that the Haytian Provisional Government has communicated to Ger many that Hayti regarded the Firminst gunboat Crete -a-Pierrot as a pirate, and that the interests of Hayti were untouched by the action of the German gunboat Panther in sinking the Crete a-Pierrot at the entrance of the harbor of Gonaives.
 The official account of the sinking of the Crete-a-P -Pierrot Is as follows:
 Captain Foksimann of the Panther had received orders to capture the pi- ratical gunboat Crete-a-Pierrot. The Panther went, therefore, from Port-au- Prince to Gonaives. where 1t completely surprised the Crete-a Pierrot. The German commandant sent the following ultimatum:
 Strike your colors within fifteen min- without undertaking any defensive measures whatever, otherwise an im- mediate attack will follow"
 The Panther had already cleared for action. Tho Crete-a-Pierrot hauled down her flag within the allotted time, and the crew disembarked. The Pan ther then intended to take the Crete-a- Pierrot in tow, but an explosion of her after powder magazine soon occurred, which was evidently effected by the Crete-a- Pierrot's crew. The explosion destroyed her stern and set the vessel on fire, rendering taking her in tow im- possible, especially as further explosions followed. As this was regarded as a hostile act and as the guns afore were still in condition, the Panther's captain caused the forward magazine to be ex- ploded through cannonade After this was exploded the Crete-aPierrot broke up and sank The admiral was on board with the rebels. Gonaives is in the hands of the rebels.

On New Years it Is the custom for
his fellow countrymen to troop into the
home of the wealthiest Of their class in
the village and throw handfuls of
wheat, corn or rye upon hiv. the sig
nificance being that they Wish it to
grow OF good ground and continued
prosperity to the lucky recipient of the
favor. He must lose money at first,
however. for he is expected to give
them some or furnish drinks and cakes.
They consider it one of the luckiest OF,
happenings If a Hebrew is the first to
cross their threshold on New Years
day.
The marriage customs are singular.
Among the Russians there are certain
days of the week when the girls are
privileged to approach a group of
young men and shout at them until
the shouting is supposed to become un-
bearable. Then the young men start
in pursuit, and each one tries to catch
a girl. If he does, he may make love
to her for the rest of the evening.
The girls keep their hair down until
after they are married, and then, on
the second day after the service, it is
put up with a great deal of ceremony.
The bride is seated in the middle Of a
circle of married women, who dance
and sing for hours while each takes
turns at putting up the brides hair un-
til the task is ended.
After the wedding ceremony the bride
is put in a with a lot Of other
girls, each with a sheet over her head,
and the groom is expected to go in and
discover at first choice which is his
bride. . If he selects her at once, she,
it is believed, will lead a happy life.
Usually she is clever enough to make
some sign to attract his attention and
SO take no chance with tickle fortune.
On the day of a wedding the orches- \
ira at the house is supposed to play as
long as the bride and bridegroom are |
within hearing. This invariably re-
suits in the musicians being bribed to
stop or getting filed SO full of ''polin-
ky" that they cannot proceed.
Among the very poor classes a bride
gets a pair Of boots on her wedding
day, and they delight in those with red
tops. They do not wear these after
the wedding, fearing to wear them out,
but often to church or to festivals a
woman may be seen carrying her boots
on her shoulder as an American girl
might wear a bit of jewelry in which
she takes special pride-to show that
she had a pair. Many of the women
save these boots to be buried in.
A Polish girl cuts off bits Of her veil
and throws them to her girl friends,
who sleep upon them to dream of the
man they are to marry as an Ameri-
can girl desires a bit of wedding cake.
The Italians. when desiring to be es-
pecially generous, empty -four bags
full Of candy over the heads of the
bridal party so all the spectators may
scramble FOR it.

SKELETONS UNEARTHED.
Village of Cokato Has a Sensation
That Causes Speculation.

That Causes Speculation.
Cokato, Mimi, July 6.-While men
were at work excavating a cellar yes
terday on the farm of J. N. Nelson,
three miles southeast of this place,
they uncovered the skeletons of two
men.
The appearance of the skeletons
would indicate that they had been
in the ground for many years. None
of the old settlers here know or can
give any idea Of the identity of the
remains. ~"
About twenty-five years ago a dis
reputable family lived in the neigh
borhood. They suddenly moved to
parts unknown, and it is supposed that
strangers in the vicinity were muir
dered in the house and their bodies
buried under the floor.
The skeletons appear to have been
laid one cn the other. One was that
of a tall mar and one of a short man.

Novelty In Fireworks.

Among the new fireworks for the
glorious Fourth a clever 1902 piece is
the 'loop the loop" says the Philadel-
phia Times. This looks like a rolling
hoop with a little block of wood at
tached to its inner rim. A spark trans
forms the hoop into a blazing circle
and the block of wood into a car, which
races round and round inside the cir
Gle till all its power is gone, throwing
of as it goes gaudy showers of red,
white and blue sparks. The "loop the
loop" is fastened against a fence or a
post after the n of the pinwheel,
of which it is a variation.
