The divinity worshiped by the

that breaches murder is not yet ex-
tinct. 1t appears, in fact, of late
years to have been actually on the in,

two cases of murder by thugs as late
as 1896, while in Central India the in
crease in the last three or four years
is startling.
About 70 years have passed since
two young English officials agreed
that the day of retribution was come
for the followers of the goddess
Kali, says the Boston Post. There
were at that time at least 10000
thugs wandering unmolested over the
surface of India, who earned iveli.
hood by numbering their fellow men
They lived in this way partly because
it was their religion and partly be.
cause they preferred numbering to
either working or begging.

year. Such figures seem incredible,
and yet officials of the time say that
they are probably under the mark.
The thug would set out on his
business with the quiet earnestness
of one who is merely doing his duty
and would brutaily murder 20 or 80
victims, not only with an easy cen.
science, but with the calm self-ap-

Two men, we may assume that one

exceedingly clever, while the other
was correspondingly dull. AS is some
times the case, the latter monopolized
the conversation, and his talk was fas
becoming uncomfortable when his com,
panion saw a man on the street ia,
ahead yawning openly.

felt this needleprick of wit, but his

head energetically to show that he
appreciated it. eve had expected
that you would charge more. OF
course you understand that it may
involve a chase round half the world
before you can find him? He's as
slippery as an eel, and, if he once
gets to know that we are after him,
| he'll double and twist like a hare"
Hell not be the first man I have
had to deal with who possessed these
characteristics" I answered. "And
have generally succeeded in running

LETS hope for all our sakes that
you will be as successful in this case -
he said. "And now, if I may ask the
question, when will you be ready to
begin your search? We shall both
feel happier when we know you are
on his track"

I rejoined. Indeed, the sooner the
better for all parties concerned.
Nothing is to be gained by delay, and

turned. "You have only to ask them

BACKS NOT RELIsHED.
Otherwise Prince Henry's Party Was
Pleased With the Luxuries
Of This Country.

Berlin, April 5.-General Won
Trothe, Emperor Williams adjutant,
was asked at a dinner party what he
really thought of Prince Henry's visit
to the United States. He said: II
have been to entertainments at the
principal courts of Europe and l have
never seen such luxury and good taste
as at the series Of banquets and re-
ceptions in America. Nowhere. is
there such exquisite cuisine" Refer
ring to- American dishes the general
said none of the party liked canvas
back duck because it was served al
most red, but Prince Henry ordered it
at the farewell luncheon on board the
Deutschland, to please his American
guests. German cooks, however, pro-
duced canvas-backs well done which
Americans did not like, but which the
princes party, on this occasion, did
like. All the royal party liked terra
pin. Professor Muensterberg, who
was entertained principally at Har-
ward, writes to Die Woche his impress
of the trip, under the title Of
"a Moral Conquest" Concluding that
thought the United States was delight
ed with the prince, he was also deep
~ fascinated by the United States.
