The weirdest feature of Trappist life
is the ban of perpetual silence under
which the monks voluntarily live; and
yet it Is not absolute silence, for that
would be well-ngh impossible in such
a large body of active workers. In
the first place. the abbot and the guest
master are permitted to speak with Wis
itors, and the schoolmaster to commun-
icate freely with his pupils; then there
is the famous phrase. "Memento mori'
c'Remember thou must die'), the ordl-
nary salutation among Trappsts; and.
Furthermore. the voice of all is raised
in prayer and song at chapel. while ut
daily chapter meeting each one public
ly confesses every petty fault which
he imagines he has committed. and If
he forget anything which n brother
has noticed he will be charitably re-
minded of it. But even with those ex-
ceptions the rule of silence is a most
trying penance.-Lippincotts Maya

-SCHEEPERS' BUTCHERY
Execution of the Boer Com.
mander is so Char.
acterized.

New York, April IA special dis
patch to the Evening Journal from Lon
don purports to give the actual facts con.
corning the execution of Commander
Scheepers, of the Orange Free State
According to this dispatch, which was
published last evening, the statement is
made by Hon. John Swift MacNeill, a
member of parliament, that he has re-
ceived information showing that Sheep
ers' executioners were guilty of most
shocking conduct and that it was not an
execution but butchery. The follow
ing, according to MacNeill, are said to be
the facts regarding the execution:
"Commandant Scheepers, suffering
from many wounds and SO weak he
could hardly stand, was brought in a
van to the church square at GRAF
Reinet, where the sentence of death,
signed by General Lord Kitchener, was
read to the populace.
"Scheepers was then tied in a chair
and blown to pieces by volley from a
detail Of Is Coldstream volunteers, who
fired at 10 PAGES"
1t is further stated that the Boer gen.
eral was burned where he fell and his
chair broken up and thrown on him
while the band played stirring and
patriotic airs.

ED WARDS PLAN.
GOVERNMENT TO OFFER BOERS
AUTONOMY.
With Amnesty to All But Cape Colony Rules
and Financial Assistance in Restoration
Of Bosr Farms-Salisbury Said to Ap.
prove, But Chamberlain Does Not Like
the Plan.

London, March Sit is stated that
the government has almost concluded to
offer degree of autonomy to the Beers,
with amnesty for all except colonial
rebels, and financial assistance in the
restoration OF the Boer farms to a condi-
ton fit for occupation.
The Transvaal and the former Orange
Free States are to be, as they have al
ready been proclaimed, British colonies,
but are to be governed by their own in
habitants on plan similar to Cape
Colony and Natal.
English garrlsons will be maintained
at Pretoria and other points.
Such is in effect the scheme upon
which King Edward and Lord Salisbury
are said to have virtually decided, with
the reluctant assent of Joseph Chamber
lain, whose plan from the first has been
to trample the Beers in the dust, ~ ex-
patriate or to exterminate the Boer pop
ulation, and to fill the two republics
with immigrants of the British race.
Chamberlain has been overruled chief
lv because the King thinks it would be
the most glorious feature OF his corona
ton for the British people to know that
the war was over finally and forever.
The position of the Boer commanders
in the field as to these proposals is yet
to be ascertained, but there is feeling
that the terms will be accepted.
1t is also understood that the cost Of
the war is to be saddled on the South
African diamond mines.

Murderer Of Sheriff Kicker Lynched at Casper.

wyoming.
Casper, Wyo., March 20. Charles
Woodland, the murderer of Sheriff Rick
ard, Of National county, was lynched
here Thursday night. Woodland had
been sentenced to hang, but early this
week the supreme court had interviewed.
This action aroused intense indignation
and as early as Thursday morning the
city began to fill with determined men,
came to carry out without process of law
the mandate of the lower court
The case had been in many ways q
sensational one all the way through. A
daring escape was made from the Jail,
and included in those who broke for
liberty was Woodland. In the chase
which followed the convicts braved the
billiards. of midwinter and were pur-
sued in groups by the officers. The party
led by Sheriff Richard came upon a
crowd of the fugitives, and in the fusi-
lade which followed the sheriff was
killed.
Woodward was afterward captured in
Montana, where he confessed to having
been the slayer of the officer. He was
returned here for trial and sentenced to
be hanged. He gave out that on the
scaffold he would make some startling
revelations, showing that he had been
prosecuted. When the supreme court OF
the state granted stay of execution the
wires were down and special messenger
carried the news to this city in race
against time to prevent the legal hang
ing OF Woodward on the day set for the
execution. The news reached here

SEAlSKINS SEIZED.
Fifty Thousand Dollars Worth Taken by Gus
toms Officials at Seattle.

Seattle, April 1.-The little schooner
J. B. Ward, which arrived from Dutch
Harbor a few days ago, was Yesterday
searched by local custom house authori-
ties, and fully $500 Of fur sealskins
were seized by the officers. Altogether
there were 266 skins seized by the au
thorities, and but for the manifest OF the
captain the schooner would also have
been seized.
The valuable skins were consigned to
two local firms. The furs were done up
in packages and marked "fox furs," and
several fox furs on the outside of the
packages were intended to bear out the
idea. The customs house men were from
Missouri and had to be shown the con-
tents OF each package, and the seizure
resulted.
Captain Hansen of the Ward is not
thought to be implicated in the attempt
ed smuggle, for the reason that the
schooner first landed at Smiths cove and
ample opportunity was afforded to land
the furs. Yesterday the Ward was
moved to Arlington dock and there the
seizure was made.

UNCROWNED ENGLISH QUEENS.
No Less Than Seven Have Missed the
Honor Of Coronation.

No Less Than Seven Have Missed the
Honor of Coronation.
AS a rule, most English queens have
been solemnly crowned, whether they
reigned in their own right or as wives
of royal husbands. To this rule, how
ever, there are exceptions.
The first was Margaret Of France
the young plain. amiable second wife
Of Edward l. He had spent so much
money in conquering Wales and in try
ing to conquer Scotland that he could
not afford the expense of Il coronation
for his girl bride, and she had to do
without the splendors Of the pageant.
King Henry VIII. took care that
Anne Boleyn should be crowned with
extreme magnificence. He desired to
show the world how much he loved her
and how very much he defled the Bish-
op Of Rome.
The four wives who succeeded her
were never crowned at all. For one
thing. money ran short, and. for an
other. there may have lurked, even in
his masterful mind, a sense Of the eft
ness Of things" which may have
caused him to shrink from publicly
browning SO many ladies in such very
rapid succession.
At any rate the beloved Jane Sey-
more, the despised Anne of Cloves, the
girllsh Catherine Howard and the
wary Catherine Parr We're never con-
secrated In public as queen-consorts Of
England.
Henrietta Maria, wife Of Charles l.,
refused to be crowned. She was young,
she was pretty, she was French prin-
cess, and she declined to take part in
state function which would compel
her to partake of the sacrament ac-
cording to Church of England rites.
Sophia Dorothea Of Zeil cannot be
reckoned among the seven, because she
was never called Queen Of England at
all. While George l. was being crown
ed, and Amounted, anchored, the lady
of Ahlden was pining in her long. mo-
notonous captivity.
Caroline Of Brunswick is the last
and most remarkable, instance Of the
uncrowned English queens. Though
George ". had been forced from popu
lar Indignation to give up the bill Of
pains and penalties against her, moth
ing would induce him to let her share
his coronation. She was not permitted
to be present in Westminster Abbey al
all.
Repulsed from all the entrances she
returned to her home, to die within
three weeks of violent fever, brought
on by months of fearful excitement

SAY 1T WAS lNCENDIARY.
Three Buildings at the TuIaIip Indian Agency
DESTROYED.

Everett, March 3l.-A disastrous fire.
supposedly of incendiary origin, occurred
at the Tulalip Indian reservation between
4 and 5 o'clock a. m. resulting in the de-
struction of the girls dormitory and
recitation room. the kitchen and laun-
dry, and the old Catholic church. No
definite estimate of the loss is obtainable
here, but it will 60 into the thousands Of
dollars. The suspicion OF incendlarism
is founded on the fact that a quantity of
rags and burlap bags saturated with kerr
osene oil was found burning under the
residence of DIR. Buchanan, the agent
and superintendent OF the school, and
also in the boys dormitory and school
rooms, unignited. DR.. Buchanan dis
covered the flames under his residence
and extinguished them before any dam
age was done. 1t appears to have been
the intention OF the incendiaries to make
a clean sweep, insomuch as an attempt
was made to burn all the buildings, but
for some reason unknown the kerosene.
saturated rags on the porch of the boys
dormitory were not burned, and DR..
Buchanan s residence was saved as above
stated.

II May Cause Congressional Inquiry Into the
Course of Canadian Officials.

Washington, April 1.-The statement
issued by Collector of Customs J. w. Ivey
of Alaska regarding the encroacEments
of the Canadians on Alaska territory
may result in congressional inquiry.
Stories have reached Washington during
the entire winter telling of the appar-
emily tyrannical course pursued by the
Canadian officials in the Northwest ter
ritory. The claim has been made in
many instances that these Canadian Off
Gals were operating on territory clearly
American. This, in connection with the
startling statements from Collector lvey,
has caused number of representatives
in congress here to suggest an investiga-
ton of the matter.
The plan proposed Is to call upon the
state department for the exact status of
the Canadian boundary question and it
is further proposed to create board Of
survey for the purpose of protecting
American monuments and landmarks
along the line of division between Alaska
and Canada.
