on "Mobs'' and gave evidence that he
was all right on the subject. He said:
Mob rule simply tore down the good
influences that the human race had
accomplished during the past. Lynch

The lynching fever has been so cpl
demic that the Afro-Americans OF Lux
ora. Ark, who, it seems, catch the
vices much more easy than they do
the virtues of the superior race,
caught it when a man named HELEN
assaulted two little Afro-Amerlcan
girls last Saturday, and they lynched
him. This ought to satisfy the not
willing-to-be-satisied whites that rape
is condemned by Afro-Americans as
eniphatically as by themselves. Now
as we condemn lynching just as much
as we do rape we will say amen II

to rape and lynching by the passage
of the following:

guilty of criminal assault upon Wo-

THE ARCHERY OF SAHARA.


The Archery of sarara. By Henry lilo:
VIII. $3.50. Philadelphia: Henry T
Coates & CO.
+ Mr.. Iliowizi we'll remembers the terrible
treatment of the Poles during their last
revolt and says he has been an eyewit-
ness of most Of the incidents narrated in
his romance. He writes with the bitter
ness that comes of suffering: "The Tar
tar enthroned in St. Petersburg is the
dragon that holds the half of two conti-
nents between his terrific iron jaws, ready
to crush him who dares to put straw in
his way. Darkest Russia Is not
limited to the confines of the pale; it COW
ers an empire where the sun never sets,
peopled-by 100. 600, 900 of beings who be-
long soul and body to the car. It is an
unwieldy mass of heterogeneous humanity
in various stages of degradation. at least
forty kinds Of religionists hating each
other and all hating the police and the
army" .,.#'. '.' X ..-5 .-.e.- .s,.
These sentiments form the undercurrent
Of the book and are in strange contradict
ton to what has been written of late re-
garding Russia and the policies of reform
adopted. They are in keeping, however,
with the latest newspaper accounts of the
persecution of the Jews, which cannot be
surpassed in barbarity. The book is a
timely contribution to current literature.

harmonizing well with practically ev-

1t can be trimmed with a dash of
bright color to prevent its looking
fade. A pretty model in crepe de
chine was accordion pleated through
out, finished off with a great turned
down collar and an Empire sash tied
above the waist line, with some tas-
sells of orange silk mingling with the
loops. Another gray gown was made
up in soft wooden material worked
with spots of white silk. 1t was
smocked on the bust, and from thence
fell quite loosely to the feet. The
neck was cut in a small V-shape and
edged with a fichu of white net. bor-
dered by deep fall of lace, the line
of juncture being concealed by very
narrow band of chinchilla. The
sleeve was full bishop shape, drawn
in at the wrist by means of the
shocking, the cuff being formed of net
slightly folded, edged with band of
fur and founce Of lace falling well
over the hand. A rose-pink chou
placed on the bust gave charming
finish to this fascinating garment.
