DARE NOT HINT AT MURDER.
Turkish Newspapers Are Not Permit
ted 60 Refer TO the Crime
q ReEieIde.

The sultan Of Turkey lives in con-
slant dread Of death at the hands Of
an assassin and the most extraOrdi-
nary means are taken to guard his per-
son from their approach. BE has Ike
wise prohibited any mention Of the
crime of regicide in the newspapers
published in his domain. He insists
that every ruler or person Of high PO-
Htical Importance should die q natural
death. The StamPa Of Turin says that
other manners of death are not OH
ciaIly recognized by Nischan Ehendi,
the censor. When King Humbert was
assassinated at Mona the Turkish
newspapers announced the sad event
IN this way: 'King Humbert left the
hall amid the frantic cheers Of the peO-
pie. The king, much affected, bowed
several times and to all appearances
was Immediately dead" When the
shah Of Persia was assassinated the
Turkish papers said: ain the after
noon the shah drove to his summer
palace and there complained Of illness.
His corpse was sent TO Teheran." One
paper exceIled all others by this absurd
piece Of euphemistie simplihcation:
''The shah left little III, but finally
his corpse returned TO the palace.
This was too much even for the Turks,
who keep the phrase as one Of their
proverbs.

NJHILE many Indian tribes have
wv Lived together in close proxim.
ity for many years in peace and
harmony, Il IL equally true that in
many other cases there has been q
great deal Of quarreling and fighting.
With primitive people Is wen as with
those who are more advanced in civil
EatiOn il is very true that q tiny spark
will often kindle great fame. A dead
~ insult has often been read into q
few inSignihcant words. The refusal
of the hand of q maiden in marriage
has often provoked war. Hundreds,
nay, thousands, of lives have been lost
in disputes over tiny strips Of territory
that were practically barren and value
less. Whole villages have been often,
destroyed because Of fancied insults
offered TO the gOds.
The secret of the eumity between the
tribes that for centuries inhabited the
mountains Of what is now San Diego,
Cal, and the Yumas, who dwell on the
Colorado river, have never been able
to learn Both people were warlike,
proud and brave. The former were
supreme in the mountains, the latter in
the desert and by the river. Again and
again conflicts took place between
them. Sometimes the Yumas rOamed
too far over the desert to the east Of
the great river, and despite all their
precautions they were swooped down
upon by the mountain tribes and
driven back with great loss of life. At
other times the San Diegans would ap-
proach too near the river, and they in
turn would suffer defeat.
In the neighbOrhOod Of 40 years ago
the Yumas had been particularly ag-
gressive and had severely punished the
San Diegans on several successive Oeca-
sions. This aroused the national pride
of the mountain tribes and they gath
cred together in a great powwow
where the war chiefs unanimously
cOunseled large raid upon the Yumas

SLAVERY IN NEW ENGLAND.
Brought g an BAD By ne supreme
CoaFt % massachusetts,
IN IT83.

Slavery in New England began soon
after the settlement Of the country.
In 1888 Pequot Indians were taken
from Massachusetts, and sold in the
West Indies, The vessel returning
brought q cargo Of cotton and tobacco,
SAYS the Boston Transcript Slaves
were most numerous in New England
about the middle Of the eighteenth
century. In 1854 there were nearly
5000 negro slaves in the state Of Mas
saehusetts. In 1850, in the declaration
Of rights, all men were declared to be
free and equal In 1871 q white man in
Massachusetts, was indicted for beat
ing and imPrisoning black man. bis
defense was that this was the neces-
sary and lawful correction for a slave,
for a slave could not be held in sub
lection unless one could punish him
when he went away or refused to
work. In 1883 the supreme court OF
Massachusetts, declared that the de-
tense was invalid. That put an end to
slavery in New England. Slaves were
mostly household servants, kept large
" by rich people for purposes Of dis
play.

WORLDS FAIR SLANG.

conlng % view wOFda and
Phrases.

One Of the enduring effects Of the
Chicago fair In 1898 was the amount OF
slang originated there. The Philadel-
phia centennial Is indissOlubly con-
neeted In the minds Of many persons
with the disappearance Of Charley
Ross, and from that exhibition dates,
practically, the hOSt Of jokes that have
flooded magazines and enlivened the
stage on the slothfulness Of Philadel-
phia and Philadelphians, says the Chr
cago Inter Ocean
Now, 81. Louis, in anticipation OF the
opening of the Louisiana Purchase ex-
hibition, has been Furnishing up some
Of the recent slang Of the Mississippi
valley, and some Of the items may be
obtained from advance sheets, so TO
speak.
What IL called in Chicago q dead

"crape." The st. Louis version OF the
expression "the real thing" for q pref
" girl II "a swell doll" A crown

nickel, and mugs landing" is the
Union station.
st. Lous has q large southern and
southwestern population. The south
west has. in recent years, superseded
the west very generally as the starting
place Of most American slang, and st.
Louis has some geographical adTan-
tages in this respect that are not likely
to be obscured by the action OF any
Of its up-to-date citizens.

some political prayers made By chap
lains of legislative bodies. It was

During the last Cuban Instruction
chaplain in q legislature prayed: That
the United States might supply with
arms, IL necessary, those in Cuba who
were struggling for liberty" and that
we "might insist upon uPholding the
Monroe doctrine" The chaplain Of
the Illinois house prayed God to "eOn-
tract the eapacious nav Of the penal
reformatOry institutions Of Illinois.
May they learn to be content with less
money, and may we who refuse to
worship a golden calf also refuse to
worship gold in any form"
The chaplain Of a populist eonTen-
ton in Arkansas prayed that the state
might be delivered from democratic
control. In the Colorado legislature
Dean Peck prayed that the popuists
and democrats might be resigned to
their fate. A populist chaplain in
Kansas prayed God to palsy the brain
and still the heart Of the reasonable
conspirators," to-wit, the republicans.
In Massachusetts, campaign . min
