The Baganda are among the most
remarkable of the negro races Of
Uganda. They are the best dressed
of all African a~borigines, copying after
the Mohammedans, even to the fezes
that cover their heads. They have a
fondness for music and betray con-
siderable skill in the building of their
houses. They are almost universally
Christian, belonging either to the An
glican or Roman forms.
A peculiar people are the Kavirondo
who live to the north and northeast of
Lake Victoria Nyanza, beyond Busoga.
They are called the Bakedi, or naked
people, although they are not wholly
naked. They wear cloaks of skin and
their head gear, when they wear any.
is ornate. Although wearing garments
as a protection from the weather, they
have no idea of using them for pur-
noses of decency, and yet it is motor
ions that they are among the most
moral people in the Uganda protector
ate. They may be said to exist in
the condition of our first parents be-
fore the fall.

Gambling For Prayer Books,

The ladies Of the town Of Arensburg

are not allowed TO play az the local
clubs they make up games at their
friends houses and gamble all day

run short they take 20 various articles
mostly toilet belongings. Thus one lost

An Illinois Judge has discovered the
virtue Of the injunction when rightly
used-Judge owen p. Thompson In a
speech at the Jackson day banquet at

long argument In support Of his con.
tention that constitutional provisions
and statutory enactments were inef-
fectiye against monopolistic combina-

Of common law. invoked In courts Of
equity. offered a sufficient and the
best weapon against them. Such com
binations are no new thing. he said.
The Justinian code Of the Roman en-
pire took cOgnizance Of them, sue

DELAY PROBABLE Tn
The POLICE CHANGES
Maj Sylvester Not Ready to
Make Announcement.
Has Been Away From Town and Other
Matters Have Engaged His
Attention.

1t is probable that the changes in the
recent appropriation bill will not be
made for several days. as events have
conspired to defer the consideration OF
the matter by Major Sylvester. At Po-
lice Headquarters yesterday it was
stated that no consideration had yet
been given to the matter.
Nothing could be done until 1t was
known what places would be provided
for. and 1t was not until the latter part
of last week that the bill passed both
houses OF Congress. Major Sylvester
was away at the time, and owing to the
illness OF his wife did rot return to his
desk until late yesterday afternoon.
othe- matters of urgent Importance then
claimed his attention, and it is probable
that the promotion OF the ten men to
class two, the places authorized by the
act. the appointment of the fifteen new
men. and the assignment of ten addi-
tional men to bicycle duty viii be de-
ferred for several days
