An Unfortunate AlIusion

Doctor Atterbury, the celebrated
Bishop of Rochester, remarked In the
House of Lords, when speaking on a
certain bill under discussion. that he
had prophesied during the previous
session that the bill would be again
brought forward, and he was very
sorry to find that he had proved so true
prophet. Lord Coningsbury, who
spoke after the Bishop, asked the
House to take notice that one of the
right reverend prelates' had set him
self forth as a prophet, but for his
part he was at loss to know what
prophet to liken him to. unless 1t was
the prophet Balaam, who was re-
proved by his own ass. Bishop After
bury's reply was crushing: "Slnee the
noble lord has discovered in our man
ners such similitude. am content to
be compared to the prophet Balaam.
but. my lords. am at a loss to make
out the other part of the PARALLEL

anybody but his lOrdship"

Slaves to Habit.

Most of us eat too much. A great
many of us eat so rapidly that we do
not digest our food properly. Dyspep-
sia Is national and an increasing dis
ease. We are slaves to habit in eating
as well as In other matters. A famous
English surgeon has given it as his
opinion that more persons acquire dis
eases and shorten their lives by over
eating than by indulgence in lntoxi'
eating liquors. The two meal day
plan is growing in popularity and has
its enthusiastic advocates among the
plain people as well as those who have
studied the question scientifically. The
Americans are the most carniyerous
race on earth. More vegetables and
less meat would save them much mon
ey and many bodily ills. Comparative
ly few of us apply the rules of common
sense to our habits of eating and pay
a heavy penalty for this rashness. The
reformers who are appealing to this
over-eating generation sometimes go to
extremes, but on the whole, they are
on the right line and will accomplish
much good.

Different Armies.
DR.. Edward King, the venerated and
sanity bishop of Lincoln, in England,
is now much advanced in years and
somewhat infrm. Recently he has
been visiting Bournemouth for his
health, and I. P. O'Connor, in his "M.
A. P.," tells the following story Of the
venerable prelate's visit to that seaside
resort: After resting for some time one
afternoon on seat on the parade"
the bishop desired to move, but, owing
to his age and infrmity, found some
difficulty in rising. A kind hearted
little girl of the town noticed his
trouble and ran up, saying; "Oh, let
me help you"
The good bishop beamed upon the
child with one Of his sweetest smiles,
and the smile of the bishop is very
sweet, indeed. "You are a dear little
Maiden" he said, "but do not think
you are strong enough"
"Why, bless you, SIR" was the re-
ply, GIVE often hepled up daddy when
he was a sight worse drunk than you
are"
O'Connor says the truth of this story
is vouched for by canon of Ely, SO il
must be true.

ence that the convicted men served
but small part of their sentences.
From 1858 to 1874, there were oeca'
sional whippings of both men and
women, but nothing of a nature as to
call for special action, but in the lat
ter year a lynching by Whitecaps once
more drew attention to the organiza'
ton. Fear Of the gang was so great,
however that nothing was done. In
1876, the Whitecaps broke into a Jail
and lynched a man awaiting trial on
charge of murder of which his inno-
cence was later proven.
In 1888 a prominent farmer was
whipped He had the gang arrested,
but the jury disagreed and the men
escaped. From that time on for many
years Whltecap outrages were fire.

at last the people of both Indiana and
Ohio were aroused and an attempt was
made to root out the organization,

pie were worked In a perfect frenzy OF
terror
Members of the original gang OF
Whitecaps were rarely arrested and
more rarely convicted. If a White
capper fell into the hands Of the law
It was almost Invariably because OF
doing business independent Of the or
iginal organization.
1t was In Harrison County, Ind, that
Whitecapism, as such, sustained its
death blow. In the hills near Corydon
lived family Of poor whites from
Kentucky-father, mother, two sons
and daughter. One day the father
was found dead In the woods and the
sons were arrested on the charge OF
killing him. An examination showed
their innocence and they returned
home. Soon came a warning telling
the family that unless they left the
county within ten days the Whitecaps
would visit them. The warning was
ignored and word was received that
on a certain night the Whltecaps
would make their appearance. The
boys got several shotguns, loaded them
heavily with slugs and hid In a corn
patch near the house. The Whitecaps
came, and while nine of them stood
on the porch, two others went into
the house after the mother and daugh
ter. Ropes were tied around theil
necks and when their screams told the
boys what was going on they opened
fire at the gang on the porch. Six ol
the nine were killed and two Others
were terribly wounded. The few re
naming fed in terror. The boys fec

Tested.
This lesson was salutary one. Since
that time the Whitecaps have done
nothing but occasionally administer
the gad to shady characters. Severa
damage suits have resulted. but in nj
/ instance has a plaintiff obtained judg
ment The last suit, which, like the
others, showed the mysterious hant
of the gang was tried in Brown Coun
ty.
The brotherhood now in existence
does not whip nor murder people
Some of its members may violate thu
law, but the organization does not, al
an entirely. The knowledge of the ex
istence of such an organization. how
ever, has much effect on the morals oi
several communities, for there is really
no telling when 1t might call a specia
session of the court of Judge Lynch.

Origin of the White Caps.

The beginning of the institution dates
back many years to the early settle
ment of Indiana, at time when the
State was overrun with desperate
characters who had fed from Ohio and
Kentucky, the southern part, from its
contiguity to the Ohio, being especial
ly the haunt of horse thieves, robbers
and counterfeiters. In the river coun-
ties of Indiana there was for years a
continuous reign of terror. When the
residents of these counties finally band
ed together for protection, the Grim
inals fed further to the north, where
their advent was met with the organ
ization of a band of regulators, Of
which every decent citizen was a mem
Der. There was little law In those
days. Might made right and there was
no one to gansay the right Of the reg

hands. There are those yet living who
