that the inhabitants of the northern part or the
island behaved with much calmness and dignity
during the recent sad events. Senator Knight
says also. that the sugar plantations at Ma
condition. The estates at Basse Pointe are in
tact ana have not suffered from the volcanic
eruption. The crops in this district were not

A Tip in a Sermon.
From the London Telegraph.


On August %, DEDICATED to st. John the
Baptist, an ancient festival takes place in
the outskirts ofnVienna at -Brunnlweise
where st. Agnes is popularity believed to
have appeared. Although the pilgrimages
to these meadows asef sternly forbidden by
the clergy, the crowds increase every year.
This year the Briinn1. WIN draw still greater
numbers, as the Goth is also the 15Oth ami
versary of the Small Lottery 30 dear to the
hearts of the people and so bound up with
superstition and family neglect. This lot
terry, with Its ninstMnumbers, was the dis
covery OF the famous mathematician. Lo-
renzo Tonti Of Genoa, in the seventeenth
century, and was. ,flrst allowed in Austria
by the Empress Maria Theresa, when, suf-
fering from ffnareiais embarrassments, she
received for the SepSsssion 200 600 forms, a
large sum in those days. Only Austria ana
ITALY now retain this so-caled Lotto
The women, seized with a passion for this
speculation, wait hours daily in the street
to see the numbers appear, or spend great
part of the day in the churches PRAYING for
success The well known Father Loritz
preached in the sixties and seventies a vio-
lent crusade against such gambling and its
attendant evils. An odd incident once oc-

order to obtain these supposed lucky num-
bers. Since the time of Father Loritz no
active measures have been taken by the

Electrolysis Of Warships.
rom the San Francisco Chronicle.


The introduction of electric plants and
appliances into our warships for the gen.
Grafton of power and light and for other
purposes has given birth to a new enemy
to their longevity. An examination of the
inner skin of the cruiser Brooklyn for the
purpose of determining the effects of the
recent grounding has revealed the fact that
electrolysis has attacked the false bottom,
which is in such an advanced state of de-
cay that the survival of her recent expert
ences is a matter of wonderment to the
New York navy yard experts. The electric
currents naturally generated in the ship,
augmented by the artificial currents intro
duced for variety of purposes, have rotted
the material of which she is constructed to
such an extent that the inner lining has
been practically destroyed.
Electrolysis is evidently as much of a
menace to warships afioat as 1t is to UNI
foreground water mains and gas pipes in our
cities In the case of the latter the cur
rents operating the electric street railways
are the source OF trouble. The return cur
rents on the circuit have a marked affinity
for these underground mains. But the ef-
feet of the relationship is disastrous to the
metal of which they are composed 1t dis
integrates the pipes as effectually and
quickly moisture rots wood. The same
results are being produced in our warships.
Electrolysis attacks beams, bolts and
plates with the same ferocity that 1t at
lacks underground water mains and gas
pipes, and 1t Is, therefore, equally fatal to
the vessels life. The genius of electricians
Is being devoted now to the development OF
devices which shall save the property OF
the water and gas companies from the evil
effects of the return currents of the electric
street railways. and their ingenuity will
have to be applied also to the production OF
similar appliances for the saving of our
warships. If this is not done the metal
warship promises to be short-lived struc-
ture.

Curious Ceremony by Russian Pill
grins in the Holy Land.

rroIn the LONDON Telegraph.
The traveller IN the Holy Land will wit
ness few sights which will interest him
more than that OF the Russian pilgrims at
the annual Epiphany ceremonies on the
banks of the River Jordan. A week before
the festival itself crowds Of these Slay
peasants are seen trudging along the Jeri-
emo road with every imaginable kind of
haversack and carry-all on their backs.
Some OF the pilgrims are old and weather.
worn. others young and cheerful, while g.
few, overcome by sleep and fatigue, are ly-
Ing prone along the roadside. But some
how the whole lot, young and old, manage
to reach the banks of the river in good time
for the ceremony.
They spend the night, perhaps, in the
Russian hospice at Jericho, where they SIM
ply huddle together like a flock of sheep
Before dawn the rooms are empty and the
whole crowd has gathered on the bank
where Greek priests who will presently
drive most lucrative trade await them.
The principal articles sold are branches of
trees from various sacred spots, stones from
the Mountain Of Temptation hard by plants
from the wilderness and rosaries with olive
stones for beads. To whatever religious
value is claimed for these articles the Rus
sian peasants implicitly give credence, and
they willingly pay their money to obtain
them.
During the hours Immediately preceding
the ceremony the motley crowd is occupied
in prayer and silent devotion. To many pill
grims this occasion is one Of the greatest
life can bring, namely, to be permitted not
only to visit. the Jordan, but actually to
battle in its sacred waters. Suddenly chant
ing is heard. and the crowd quickly opens
to let procession of purpie-clad ecclesias-
tics pass to the waters. then the pilgrims
close in again. and station themselves along
the banks, eager and watchful. And now,
quite reverentiy, jeweled cross is laid by
the patriarch on the surface of the stream
to bless 1t. and no sooner does the sacred
symbol touch the water than dive is made
into 1t by the enthusiastic crowd. which
splashes and sprays and sdips-altogether a
strange scene. Such is the baptism, and the
longer it lasts the greater the merit the pill
grim will enjoy.
All dripping with water each shroud is
now wrung out and slowed away to serve
as the cerecloth when the pilgrimage of
life is over and the body Is ready for the
grave. As the traveller rides away the next
day to Jerusalem he will see these childlike
peasants. bedra ggled with mud, and ia
tigued by constant sleeplessness. plodding
along toward the holy city, chanting and
singing as they go. and leaning on their
sticks of reed. But there Is now smile on
their faces. and joy in their hearts. for
have they not bathed In the waters of Jor~
dan?

CAVE JEWELLERS.
Relics Of Prehistoric Races Found in
Arizona Mountains.

Arizona Mountains.
From the New York Tribune
In the Sierra Ancha mountains of ella
county, in the central part of Arizona, a
region of remarkable scenic beauty, are
abundant evidences of the occupation of
races that far antedated any Of the tribes
now known in the southwest. Far up on
the sides of fully score of canyons are the
ruins of veritable cities, built In limestone
clefts and shallow caves. where defense
could readily be made against the maraud-
er. In the pure, dry air of the region much
Of the timber flooring of the several stored
cement-built homes Of these ancient peoples
is still preserved, though Of wood that now
is practically extinct in the southwest
species Of cypress, not one tree Of which
can be found today In the region for 100
miles around.
Far above the cliff dwellings, on the very
ridges of the pine-covered mountains, have
been discovered a number of caves, proba-
bly, of natural origin. yet enlarged and hol-
lowed by the hands of men of race now
extinct One of these caves of L shape
appears to have been a sacrificial temple,
for the walls are scorched and in some
places the rock is almost fused by the fierce
flames klndled long ago. Beneath the sand
covered floor We're found large number of
small urns filled with carbonzed bones of
human beings, who, possibly, had been Of
fered In sacrifice to some Molochlike demon
deity.
Another cave, practically a tunnel of cy-
lindrical shape, has been discovered, run
ming 100 feet or more into the mountain,
ending In well that the explorers did not
care to investigate, save by demonstrating
Its considerable depth by means of dropping
stones into 1t.
The latest discovery was made only few
weeks ago by William McFadden, a we'll
known cattle man. Behind large clump
of bushes he found the entrance to cave
OF immense size, which had been subdivided
by the ancient people into eighteen large
rooms. At the extreme end an airshaft Of
artificial construction rose to connection
with some natural crevices far above. The
floors are of clay, hard packed and smooth.
In one of the rooms was found a human
skull, possibly carried thither by some wild
beast in later times.
The Apaches the oldest of the present
tribes in Arizona, are well acquainted with
the location of many of these caves of pre-
historic occupation, but fear to linger in
their peighborhood. telling weird tales Of
spirit fire dances by night and of ghosts
that issue from the caverns and vanish be-
fore the dawn.

MANY MEETINGS BEING HELD

Outlook in the Congressional Districts

16 Out of 81 Representatives.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.


CLEVELAND, Ohio, October 30, 1902.
With the last week of the campaign on,
with all the men who will be allowed to
vote in the larger cities registered, and
with the leaders receiving reports from
their lieutenants it is now for the first
time possible to draw some conclusions as
to the probable result in the buckeye state.
The light registration in many of the
cities forecasts light vote. 1t will prob
ably fall far short of the Si0,147 cast last
year. Apathy seems to prevail outside of
Cuyahoga, Franklin and Montgomery coun-
ties. In Cuyahoga county Tom Johnson has
stirred things up to boiling point, and the
closing week here in Cleveland promises to
be one replete with excitement. Many meet
ings are being held by both parties each
night johnson using TWO big tents, and the
republicans, led by Senator Hanna, having
meetings in a dozen places at once. A joint
debate between Johnson and a prominent
young republican-W. r. Hopkins-and a
rousing big republican demonstration, with
plenty of red fire and booming guns, were
features of the week. The meetings are al
ways attended by both parties and every
speaker is interrupted with rapid cross
fire of questions. Local issues seem to be
paramount here, the code bill and three
cent street railway fare occupying more at
tention than tariff reform or any national
and state issues.

Hopes for Democrats.

and state issues.
Hopes for Democrats.
In Franklin county the congressional fight
between Cyrus Huling, republican, and De-
witt C. Badger, democrat, has aroused the
voters to an unusual degree. The district,
which is the county, is normally republican
by safe margin, but the fact that Huling
Is strongly allied with an anti-Hanna fac
ton may lose him the seat in Congress.
The democrats are banking heavily on MAX
ing their gain of a congressman in this dis
trict, the twelfth.
The democrats have also been expressing
a hope of electing Thomas SELF of Dayton,
who Is making the race for Congress
against Robert Nevin in the third district,
of which Montgomery county is the center.
But fractional fighting among democrats and
the opposition Of the labor elements make
1t look like victory for Nevin by even
larger majority than he had before-154
In the other districts there is little doing.
General Dick has some dissatisfaction in
part of his baiiwick, the residents of Bar
berton, suburb of Akron, being disgrun-
tied over post office distributions. This may
lose him several hundred votes, but hardly
enough to defeat him.
In the eighteenth district, which would
have reelected Tayler without a doubt had
he not resigned suddenly after being given
a unanimous denomination, James H. Ken
nedy of Youngstown will probably be the
ley's seat. The democratic candidate, how
ever, Thomas j. Duffy, is also the labor
candidate, and as the labor vote holds the
balance of power In that district there is
not a little uneasiness among the repub-
hcans.
Down in the eleventh General Grosvenor
will win out usual, despite the addi-
ton of strong democratic county to his
district. He will not have the old time
majorities to which he is accustomed, how
ever. His opponent is a young miner, and
the miners who abound in Grosvenors dis
trict will support him. "Old Figgers" has
been SO busy with his own campaign that
he has not had time to even issue his usual
prediction.
Predictions, by the way, have been con-
spcuous for their absence SO far. Cen
eral Dick, while admitting that he has
hopes for 1900 in Ohio, will not allow him
self to be quoted Republican leaders, how
ever, are not looking for any such ma
jority. The average guess places it at
10000, which looks to be about the prob
able figure. That the republicans will elect
their state ticket by this majority is a
safe guess, and that the republicans will
elect at least sixteen out of the twenty
one congressional candidates is another
