Nenroes and Southern Justice.

There is something wearisome and
disgusting in the iteration from north
ern sources that the negroes do not
get justice in the courts OF the south!
Suppose we say here and now that
they do not-and take n couple Of re-
cent incidents to back up our confess
sion!
A few days ago a negro in this city
flimfammed a national bank out OF
over 5000 by paying teller's error in
handling a couple Of checks. Because
of the negro's previous good character.
although he confessed his theft and
returned the larger part Of the money,
no prosecutor appeared against him
and he went free and unwhipped Of
justice, We would like a northern in
stance to match this case of injustice
to the negro.
In Texas the Supreme Court has
just reversed a verdict of death prcsed
upon a young negro who was clearly
convicted Of a criminal assault upon
young white girl 1t appeared that lie
was under seventeen years OF age ard
the law forbids the hanging of per-
son under that age consequently, al
though his guilt was plain as the sun
at noon and the penalty for his crime
is death, he goes free of that penalty.
With these cases at hand we do not
think our assertion can be denied
that negroes often do not get justice"
in southern courts before white judges.

AN ARMY OF RODENTS.
A Traveller Had to Wait for Them to
Cross the Road.


From Calhoun County, Mich, there
comes to the Smithsonian Institution
a sensational story Of the invasion OF
that county by an army Of 5000 rats
In one pack. A big gray rat is said to
be leading the vest army Of rodents.
Michigan papers devote considerable
space to the peculiar occurrence, and
some Battle Creek citizens who have
become interested in the migration
have written TO The Smithsonian lnsti-
tuition for an explanation, If possible.
The story of the rat raid as told In
Michigan papers is that about a hun
bred large rats were crossing a high
way three miles east of Tekonsha vii
lage, Calhoun County They are said
to have been under the leadership or
a large gray rat of venerable and dig
nified aspect, and this leader seemed
to have some definite object in view,
for he marshaled his forces in most
authoritative manner A few days
afterward a farmer In Clarendon
township In the same county, was
aroused about 3 O'Clock in the MORN
ing by squealing noise of great mag
nitude, such as might be made by
score Of filters Of young pigs. AS the
sound continued to grow in volume
the farmer arose, hastily put on his
clothes and went outdoors. The air
seemed filled with the strange sounds,
and the man climbed his windmill to
see II he could discover the cause. He
could see a dark wave rolling across
q field toward his barn, It Is said, and
as 1t approached nearer he could see
that It was composed Of hundreds OF
rats squeallng loudly as they ran. In
to the barnyard they came, hating In
front Of the barn. Then a large gray
rat seemed to select about twenty
husky rats from the bunch and led
them into the building. When they
emerged ten minutes later they were
accompanied by about 100 Of the Clar-
endon mans rats. They took their
places in the ranks and the procession
moved on again across the fields.
When last seen the horde Is said to
have been crossing the highway east
Of the village Of Tekonsha. 1t is
claimed traveller had to wait nearly
five minutes for them to cross the
road, and he estimated their number
to be not less than 5000. They were
still under the leadership Of big gray

THREE ANTLERs INTERLocKED.
Two Sets of AntIers So Locked Are
Rare, But Not Unknown.

An Indian from the Flambeau Reser-
walton, in northern Wisconsin, re-
Gently came into the fishing resort OF
SQuaw Lake with a curiarity in the
way Of deer horns he wished to sell.
Failing to make a sale he took the
horns back to the reservation and has
not been seen by white men since
then.
His treasure was three sets Of ant
lers inexplicably interlocked, and they
were worth considerable money TO
horn collectors. Two sets Of sntlers
so locked are rare, but not unknown.
1t is believed that the Flambeau Chip
pewa has the only set Of three locked
antlers in the world
This accident could have happened
only in one way Two bucks Of equal
strength were fighting in the forest
and became locked. Then while they
were still struggling, a third buck APP
peared in the usual angry temper OF
these animals in the mating season,
and charged them both probably re-
peatedly, until his own horns became
fastened. The spectacle Of three huge
bucks mated to each other until death
would have been a great one II there
had been anybody there to see.
The Indian said he found the horns
north Of Flambeau Lake, about a mile
from the water They were lying on
the side Of a hill. and there were no
bones near them. The condition OF
the horns proved that the fight oc-
cured not more than two years ago,
and probably last fall.
The antlers were all Of full-grown
bucks, showing eight and ten points
each. The third pair had been driven
into the others just above where
they Joined, and the branches OF them
were about equally locked with the
branches Of the others.-Chicago In

Our Heavy Admirals.

The Navy Department sta:isticlans
have decided that the presence of an
admiral on board battlehhip adds so
tons to that crafts weight. In add.
ton to the added presence of his gold
laced staff, the admiral must have an
extra boat for his own personal use,
two extra bath tubs, one for his own
use and one for the use of the guests
he is supposed to entertain, and a
large number of flags, books and In
struments that are inseparable from
the dignity Of the commander Of a
feet. The thinkers of the department
are now engaged upon the problem Of
reducing this weight as far as possible
by cutting off such articles as can be
spared by the admiral. Up to date
they have got no further than the ex-
ira bath tub.
