unhappy memory, while careering
through the far East side with his wife
and Chauffeur in the famous white
Ghost" which he bought from Mr..
Vanderbilt was attacked by mob of
hoodlums who hurled sticks, stones,
tin cans and filth at the occupants of
the huge flier with excellent aim
Finally they succeeded in lodging a
broken wash boiler between the wheels

could diSlodge the impeachment, Mrs.
Thomas had been knocked unconscious
by blow from tin pot-lid. The par

reason to congratulate themselves on
their good fortune in not being dan

Something that never before has
happened in this city has happened
now. A $4,000 public office is looking
for an incumbent. 1t is the first time
that an office ever got chance to even
gasp before somebody was holding on
to it with a desperate grip. This Of
flee is that of Coroner's Physician, and
last January the name of DR.. Whit
man was placed on the preferred civil
service list. Last week the office be-
came vacant and since then the au-
thorities have been looking in vain for
the lucky man.
Pat Sheedy has declared that he is
going to get out of gambling. He says
that he has found a partner and that
Mrs Sehedy and he are going to sail
for Buenos Ayres on June 10 to open
a jewelry business and get the mon
ey away from his fellow man through
the medium of gems. watches and
other jewelry instead of through the
gaudy card.
Not for nothing has George w
Plunkitt the reputation of being the
"foxiest" of politicians. One of his
dangerous rivals is Dr. J. H. Byrne
District Leader of the Greater New
York Democracy. DR.. Byrne has a
large practice and is a very busy man.
He is also of a somewhat impatient
temperament For some time past
he has been greatly annoyed by great
numbers of callers desiring aid in le-
gal difficulties. Most of them were
after bail for some friend or relative,
or called to enlist his good offices at
the police court. All of them came
during office hours and interrupted his
practice. For a time he endured it;
then he became indignant and sharp
ly turned down the applicants. Prob
ably he wouldn't have done so had he
known that each rejected appeal
meant a vote for George w. Plunkitt

THE world is full of active men who
4 direct the affairs of state, carry on
LII commerce and pursue the professions
of science and art, but the perfectly healthy
woman is far too scarce There is crying
need for sturdy mothers and active women
who make themselves felt in the home and
out Of it. Women should really prepare
themselves to undertake life's responsible
ties. 1t is not strange that sickness is so
common among women. The laborious
duties of the housewife, coupled with the
care of young children, are too much for the
average woman whose delicately poised
organs are easily upset. And women's
natural modesty keeps them from com
planning about matters connected with the
organs of generation. They will not tell
the story of their suffering to doctor and
they abhor local examinations and surgical
operations. In this way thousands and
thousands of women become invalids and
the woman who is healthy and fit for every
duty is hard to find If every woman
knew that Wine of Cardui invariably re-
lieves female weakness when taken as di-
rected there would be fewer sufferers. But
all women do not yet realize that suffering
female weakness is totally unnecessary
when Wine of Cardui can be secured. The
relief Of over 100000 suffering women by
Wine of Cardui proves this statement.

MOHAvES ARE SUPERSTITIOUS.
Tribe C1inRs Zea1ous1y to All It's An
Gent Customs and Beliefs.

Tribe C1ings Zea1ous1y to All It's An
cient Customs and Beliefs.
According to a member Of the geo.
logical survey who has travelled ex-
tensively in the west, sage the Wash
ington correspondent Of the New York
Tribune, the Mohave Indians are the
most superstitious of any tribe in the
United States, and they cling as no
other tribe does to their old tradi-
tons. "Their god Is Mat-o-we-ha,"
says the scientist, "the maker Of all
things, the director Of the sun, moon
and stars, the guardian of the hunt
ing ground, the sender of rain and
sunshine and arbiter as to whether the
seasons will bring forth luxuriant har-
vests or famine. His son, Mas-zam-
no, has charge of the white mountain
(heaven), and is the guardian of de-
parted spirits, which are supposed to
ascend to paradise in smoke, and it
is believed all the personal property
destroyed in the flames with the de-
ceased will go with him
"The Mohaves who are not Gre
mated turn into owls, and whenever
boot Of that bird is heard these In
dams think it is one Of Their dead re-
turned. The owl is caught if possible
and cremated, that the imprisoned
spirit may be set free and allowed to
enter the white mountain to find ever
lasting peace. Through the influence
of the government, agents the yearly
mourning festival of the Mohaves. a
most picturesque ceremony, has been
abandoned At these festivals great
pyres were lighted outside of the vii
lage, on spot selected as the most
pleasing to Mat-o-we-ha and Mas-zam
no, and when the fire was hottest eyery
member Of the tribe would throw his
dearest belonging into the flame be-
lieving that it assembled in the thick
smoke Of the fire straight to the white
mountain and into the hands Of their
dear departed ones, carrying messages
of love and remembrance"

Hazing IS always coWardly, because
she victim is oyerpowered by numbers
and taken at disadvantage when he has
no chance of resistance. It is utterly
iawless and brutal because 1t violates
the sanctity of the victims person and
subjects him to gross indignity, to
which no man willingly submits so long
as he has any chance Of resistance.
From whatever standpoint it is viewed
haztng is detestable, and it IS particu-
larly demoralizing because it rests for
defense upon the plea that the social
manners and habits of young man at
college may properly be regulated by
various kinds of physical outrage and
insult whose practice is forbidden by
law

MURDERER HELD A SECRET.
He Is Pardoned that He May Exp1ois
His knowledge.

Considerable public interest was re-
Gently aroused by the action Of Gov
ernor Shaw, of Iowa, in paroling a
murderer, s. r. Dawson, who claims
to have discovered the long lost secret
Of making Damascus steel and also the
process by which copper can be hard
ened and tempered. 1t was to pre-
vent the knowledge Of this secret from
being lost to the world that induced
the action Of the Iowa executive.
Five years ago, when Dawson was
sent to the penitentiary for murder,
he was just about to exploit the Sc
crets he had discovered, and a COM
pany with ample capital had been
formed for that purpose. He was then
40 years old. The men associated with
him in the company that had been
formed besought him to divulge the
secret of his process, but he refused
to tell a soul anything about his dis
covery. The formula, however, he de-
posted in the safety vault of the Des
Moines National Bank. To that vault

Scotland and Ireland.

1t is noteworthy that for the first
time in the history Of the British Isles
the Scotch population now exceeds that
of Ireland, the returns for the latter
country for 1901 being 4,456,54o, or
1867 less than those for Scotland. In
1871, when Scotland had a population
of 2,620,194 Ireland contained 1885,
597 Since then Ireland has declined
almost one-half in the number of her
inhabitants, while Scotland has prac-
tically doubled.

there are three keys-one held by Daw-
son, one by the officers of the bank,
and the third by the officers of the
Damascus Steel Company. It required
all three keys to open the vault and 1t
Is due to this that Dawson is now a
free man. The work Of manufacture
Is to be begun as soon as possible by
the company which was organized be-
fore Dawson went to prison.
Mr.. Dawson has devoted his entire
life to the study Of metallurgy. His
taste for the science comes naturally.
His ancestors for generations back
have been engaged in the iron bust
ness, and one of them, Ralph Hogg,
made, in the fifteenth century, the first
iron cannon that England ever saw.
Mr.. Dawson was sent to the peni-
tertiary for the murder of his son-in-
law, Walter Scott. Scott had become
infatuated with Dawson's daughter,
Clara, and had been paying attention
to her for about year and half
before the murder. At first there were
no objections on the part Of the girls
parents, but later they became opposed
to the young mans attentions and or
dered him from the house several
times. Then clandestine meetings be-
gan between the young couple Mr..
Dawson lea led Of these meetings. and
to prevent them took his daughter
away travelling, but was followed from
place to place by Scott. Finally Mr..
Dawson and his daughter returned to
Des Moines, but strangely enough. the
girl then refused to marry Scott. One
week later they were married clan
destinely, and upon going to the house
of her parents for her belongings Scott
was shot by Mr.. Dawson.
That Dawson has discovered the
secret of. making Damascus steel is not
doubted. A few years ago he erected
blast furnace In Chicago for expert
ments. He allowed several invited
friends to see ali but one portion of
the process. When the time came for
mixing the secret ingredient with the
melted metal he banished every one.
The finished product he turned cut

that not more than one-hfth OF the
voters in his state favor the continu-
ance of the federation, and that the
voters In the states Of New South
Wales and Western Australia are as
hostile to the union as those in Queens
land. How far their dissatisfaction
will carry them no one can say; DuT
the crisis through which Australia Is
passing is not without precedent In the
British Empire. The Canadian fedora
ton, which was created by act Of Par
lament only thirty-five years ago, was
not a harmonious one In Its earlier
stages. But eventually the dissatisfied
elements were appeased, and the union
Of the provinces in the Dominion OF
Canada Is almost as close and as
strong as the union Of this great re-
public. 1t is probable that the threats
of secession in Australia will have as
little result as did the similar threats
in Neva Scotia, New Brunswick ano
British Columbia at various periods ID
the history of the Dominion. The ac'
of Parliament which created com
monwealth out Of the separate Austria
liam states did not provide for disso-
luton. The Importance Of the union
was recognized the world over. After
a time the minor grievances will be re-
dressed and harmony will be restored.
