The Old Man OF the Mountains.
Long after day had dawned the ht-

sleds. continued their way oven the
snow. Laura protested against this
separation from her friend, but It was
all in vain.
When the tents we're pitched Laura
met Lakeland and asked:

not be separated?
"She is bach with the sick man."

Drawing herself up to her full
height, with all the scorn which an in.

face, she pointed toward the door Of
the tent. Unable to stand before the

TIE SUPPRESSION or PEON4GE.

Peonage in Alabama, according TO The Mont
gomery Advertiser" is now Il memory. The
convictions secured in Judge Joness court and
the general awakening of local sentiment have
dealt the new slavery" fatal blow. The most
fiagrant offenders have been sent TO prison, and
Others pleading guilty of less serious offences,
have been fined or released on parole. Public
opinion having acquiesced IN the federal court $
determination TO crush out peonage. the whole
odious fabric OF impressment and slave driving
has fallen with crash.
To District Judge Thomas G. Jones, of the
Northern and Middle District of Alabama, con-
spicuous credit is due for the prompt collapse
Of the forced labor" system. His conduct of
the peonage cases was marked from the outset
by a high minded sense of duty and by sin
cere adherence of the injustces practised on
virtually kidnapped blacks. But his attitude
was unfortunately misrepresented by narrow
minded local politicians. who pretended to see
in the crusade against the employers of
forced labor" only another effort dictated by
Northern enmity. to blacken the fame and
honor Of the State. Ii was alleged that federal
Secret Service agents were being used 20 gather
Testimony against Alabama planters. which
testimony, garbled and distorted, was being
made the basis of untus attacks in Northern
newspapers on Alabama standards of conduct
and life Local passions and local prejudices
were skilfUly played on, and deadloeked jury
in one of the clearest of the peonage cases was
one OF the first results.
In his rebuke to that jury, and in his later
address OF congTatuiation TO the jury which
found a verdict against the Goodwater con-
stable, Robert y. Franklin, Judge Jones firmly
and eIoquently repelied the insinuation that out
side opinion or outside pressure had driven the
federal judiciary in Alabama 10 redress the
abuses of the peonage system. To root out the
evils of peonage was duty, he said, to which
his oath as a Judge bound him. 1t was duty
also to which a sense Of humanity, mercy and
Justice bound the conscience of the State. No
manly man and no manly community could
escape the obligation 70 protect the defenceless
and the weak; and IL was far more Alabama's
concern 10 rid herself of the shame Of tolerating
conditions so repugnant TO equity and mercy
than 10 grow indignant over the possibility OF
tracing the peonage prosecutions TO some fancied
ebullition elsewhere 81 PARTISAN capdousness or
sectional hate.
This sane and wholesome yiew seems now TO
have found a general acceptance in Alabama.
No Jury since the judges first admonltion has
failed duty. Prisoners VINO two weeks
ago would I've stood trial are now pleading

THE RELIANCE.

Tho Sudden selection of the Reliance TO uelehd
tbe Americas Cup is surprising only because II
annuls the official programme or Iur'her Ni"l
rocos Since her first appearance under canvas
tboro has been no reason to believe that differ
ont boat would be chosen and it has been evil
dent for weeks that she deserved and, PAIRING
accidents would win the honor or meeung
Shamrock III. The committees decision Is
therefore wise. Nobody can possibly reel thaI
it is unfair to the Constitution though tnat
boat has done far better. on the whole than she
did two years ago; or to the Columbia whose
,articina tion in the trials under Mr.. E. D. Nor
gan's unselfiSh mana cement has been exceed
ingly useful. while it has shown that no new
distinction awaited the old defender this year.
Moreover. if the Reliance were to engage in ad-
dtional trials she would be exposed to unneces-
sary risks and might be hopelessly disabled.
The first of the Cup races is only three weeks
off and it would be injudicious to take the
chance of injuries which could not be repaired
within that time.
No doubt remains that the Reliance is the
fastest boat under all conditions that American
designers have produced. When the Constitu-
ton was discarded two years ago, though there
was reason to think she had not been thorough
ly tried out, many believed that Mr.. Herreshof
had reached his limit in the Columbia. But
this years racing has proved that he still had
something in reserve; for even though an i'm
preston may Iinger that it would have been
nearly even thing this year between the Con-
stitution and the Columbia if the latter had had
a professional skipper at the wheel the supe-
riority of the Reliance has been conclusively
demonstrated.
AS for the international contests, cocksure
predictions are dangerous. It is known what
the Reliance can do with her American COM
I,ettOrs but Shamrock III is still largely an I'M
known quantity. Nobody doubts that she is
remarkable boat and probably nobody is dis
posed to dispute Sir Thomas LptOns confident
assertion that in the long line of challengers
the latest is much the best. But comparisons
between boats of the same class which have
never raced with one another are of little value
when the quality of both is so high. 1t is per-
fectly reasonable TO feel a strong faith in the
Reliances ability to defend the Cup, but the
only present certainty is that in the coming
races the loser will not be bad second.

innArnnER SHOWS.

The occurrence of heavy snow in the hi'e
Mountains early this week and drop OIL teli-
perature there to 16 degrees accent I'D the popu'
Iar mind a phrase of the weather elsewhere
which was beginning to attract attehtion' CioSe
observers have noticed of late an uhusual prev
alepce of brisk northwesterly winds, exceptonai
dryness and delightful but abnormaI cooiness.
In the metropolis. for instance the mercury mas
been down to go or lower in the last forty-elght
hours These conditions are rather those or
AprII or May than of the close OF July. This is
the time OF year when the most excessive heat
is usually recorded Maxima above 90 for days
in succession are not uncommon at the mid
summer period Moreover, high temperatures
are generally rendered not only more trying
but more dangerous to health by correspond
ing excess of humidity. While the absence Of
the latter is not so quickly recognized as that
of the former, it has contributed materially to
the comfort of humanity during the last two
weeks.
This happy combination of abnormal coolness
and dryness is by no means the first eccentricity
of the weather of the current year. In the lati-
tude of NewYork meteorological conditions are
almost never precisely what they should be. 1t
is safe TO say, though that the departures from
the average have been more numerous and
more extreme in the last five months than often
happens in the same length of time. Over the
northeastern part of the country the month of
March was hotter than it had been for over
thirty years fortnight later a remarkable
drouth began to be followed by rainfall of
such duration and abundance that the precipita-
ton account was balanced before the end of
June. When settled summer weather finally
arrived, it showed a disposition to go to ex-
remes again. Early in July there was for a
few days a terrible harvest of death from heat
prostration. Fortunately a reaction came soon
If the pendulum has now swung further than
was to be expected, the change has caused IN
speakable delight.

Millinery designs in straw headgear for

the meek and long-suffering creatures are not
