the grip he could give with his bill was astonishing. However, I picked him up and took him home. and tethered him in the garden with strap to one leg. The first night he ate a good meal of liver, and after that he took almost anys kind of meat that was given him. let him have carriOn whenever it was con- venient. but at other times he ate freshly killed frogs. fresh beef, opossum and even fish. One night soon af- ter had brought him home, I went out to see how he looked when he was asleep. It was so dark that his black plumage was not visible against the grass; all could see of him was white spot, his head, as it hung near the ground. approached very quietly, and was within five feet when something happened. Out of the darkness there came a flash of white, straight toward me. with a speed which caused me to step quickly backward, and at the same instant there was & startling, rustling sound, accompanied by gutteral growl which for moment did not recognize as the voice of the young yulture. Alto gether it was most startling pheno- menon. and although I realized in a moment that the bird was in some way. the cause of it, do not know even yet what happened. This much I know. however. that the bird rushed at me, growing with all his might, and that the flash of white was the white down of the body. uncovered by the opening of the black wings, The rushing sound was. think, caused in some way by the wing feathers or tail feathers, or both, but whether by dragging them along the ground or otherwise, cannot tell. I tried on several occasions to find this out. by approaching the young vultures when there was just light enough for me to see what happened, but he would never act in just the same way unless 1t: was quite dark. No doubt this is some. provision of Nature to protect the bird when it is young and helpless, and I can testify that it is good one, for I, am sure that few night-prowling anil. mais would care to pursue their investi- gations after being given so startling a reception. ......sse

being authorized by the act to receive an honorarium of $500 for the trouble. The amount of the lottery was sl,5OO.- 200. raised by sl5 tickets. to provide sl,- O0O. .OOO for prizes varying in value from s5O,OOO to s5a and s5OO.OOO for the pur- chase of the Sloane coliecasns and the Harleian library-the mud seus of the museum-and for the provision of suit able cases for such acquisitions and of houseroom and attendants. The opera tions of one Peter Leheup, Esq.," made the lottery notorious. He frauduIently "cornered'' the tickets, 5000 or so of them passing by his aid to a Sampson Gideon, who sold them at premium. An inquiry into the matter instituted by the House of Commons resulted in the prosecution by the attorney-general of Leheup for violation of the act and breach of trust. The penalty was a fine of $5,OOO. which was by no means excessive, as s2OO,0OO was Leheup's esti- mated profit from the fraud.

4 GREAT PURLIC YORK.

The municipal ownership of public utilities is doing we'll in Philadelphia just now. and there are people there who know how to make it do well. Philadelphia has felt the need of purer water as well as of purer government, and she is going to have the water if the money holds out. Those who man. age the public utilities there took a notion that filtration plant would be about the right thing. So seventeen millions were appropriated for making one, but that has been found insuffi- cient. and an additional appropriation of five millions is now asked for. This will make twenty-two millions. which ought to buy a pretty fair filtration plant. Perhaps it will, and perhaps more will be needed. Of course having begun such great and beneficent work it will not do to let few paltry mill lions stand in the way of it's comple- ton.
 We commend Philadelphia's filtration plant to the attention of the advocates of municipal ownership of public Ntili- ties. It is, or will be if it is ever fin- ished, a fine object lesson.

Hanging a Comrade in YelIow-Covered E. s. Style.

Hanging Comrade in YelIow-Covered
 r. Style.
 Johnny Langer, six years old, was sentenced to be hanged until he was
 dead in Union Hill yesterday, for being
 a "robber." Had not his mother arriv- led on the scene at an opportune moment the child would probably have paid the penalty. Johnnys playmates, at least a
 dozen of them. all under twelve years
 old, had already strung him up by a clothes line attached to the top of a gro- cery wagon, and his body hung limp and almost lifeless. The boys had been playing Cops and Robbers" and John ny was one of the robbers When the game started he was the first one cap tured, and in order to place him on trial for his ina aginary offense the chase for, the others had to be suspended. Peter Stella, twelve years old; Philip Mazzoni, twelve years, and Charley Hedder, eleven years, all of whom live in the same house with the Langer boy at Mo- 229 New York avenue, were the judges before whom the prisoner" was tried. ~.l 4 What did he do?" asked Peter Stella, acting as chief justice, when Cop Willie Maeder. eleven years old, appear ed alongside the grocery wagon which served as a court-house, dragging John ny Langer. .:-..G ! ''He stole a million dollars" was the reply. ;g.~' z s.- t. ], "You must hang up until you are dead is the cerdict of the court"
 This is the story of the attempted ex? ecution as told by the prisoner" him. self, ..ls r * When Peter said must hang ore of the boys got cord and tied one end of it around my neck. Then they put one
 end of it through hole in the roof of the grocery wagon and all of them pull ed me up., The cord choked me so that I couldn't scream. I felt that I was going to sleep when mother came and cut me down." .r. 1s s @ #
 A dark red line made by the rope en- circles the boy's neck, and in several places the skin Is torn and bruised.
 T had been to the grocery store,'' said his mother, "and was returning home, when several children ran toward me shouting. Oh. Mrs. Langer. they're hanging Johnnie!,.,I didn't know what they meant at first, but. when looked toward the grocery wagon and saw a lot of boys -loafers. call thenn-croWd- ing around my boy knew something was wrong and hurried over. I was mortified. upon reaching the wagon, to see that the boys had clothes line tied about my child s neck. And they were just pulling away at it as. if 1t was fun. It's lucky was there. or am sure he would have been choked to death. I wouldn't tell my husband about this for worlds: I'm sure he'd murder some of those kids if I. did, ...-...:: ...s..s

is rich, the climate salubrious and wa ter abundant Fruit. berries. garden truck, farm products and stock are raised. The colony is doing well and already has become famous for the ''netted gem cantaloupe. Another SaI- vation Army settlement Is at Fort Ro- mic, California. and consists of a fine sweep of 51s acres of agricultural lands, divided into ten-acre tracts, upon each of which a cottage has been built. Water is supplied by irrigation. Sev- enty colonists are supported, and they are making a good living chiefly by raising potatoes. They are, however, going into the beet sugar industry quite extensively, and the proximity of sugar factories affords fine opportunity for further success. Within twenty miles of Cleveland. Ohio. is still another col- ony with 2sS acres, settled by thirty three persons. The philanthropists who deeded the land gave also $2O.0OO toward the enterprise. This colony is new, but has excellent prospects.
 In these colonies only married folks are cared for, and they frequently own at the start some household fixtures and farm implements. But if absolutely in- digent they are put to work at moderate wages immediately upon reaching the settlement until they accumulate enough with which to begin life. There lis no community of ownership in the settlements. The colonists receive contract for the purchaseeof the land and cottage they occupy, and the sup plies of live stock, implements and other needful things are sold outright either for cash or credit. 1..

QUALITATIVE, TOO.

In indorsing the candidacy Of John H. Clarke of Ohio for United States senator Mir, Bryan said: His one diff ference is on one phase of the money question, namely, metallic money, and on this question believe he was griev- ously in error in 1896. But since that time the quantitative theory Of money has been established and the arguments made in favor Of 8 larger volume of money have been vindicated." "Quan- titative theory" is good, but the true friends of silver, of whom MT Bryan has been supposed to be one. won't see much in his auantitative theory. There is more money in circulation now than there was seven years ago, when MT. Bryan was advocating the free and un- limited coinage Of silver. The amount in. circulation now is estimated at $2,- 30O,000,O00, as against $1,500,000, ,00O in 1896, an increase of over 50 per cent. in seven years. And not only is the sup ply of money in excess of that which the country las had at any previous period in it's history, but the quality of the circulating medium is such as to inspire confidence in all classes of citi- zens. The gold standard has been es- tablished by law, and all kinds of cur rency are kept at par. There is no fear now that any of the money in circula- tion will depreciate in value, because it is the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to maintain the parity with gold of all forms of money coined or is- sued by the government.
 Fortunately for the country the quail tative as well as the quantitative the- ory of money has been established. But that doesn't help silver, and so the sil- yer men will probably begin to look upon MT. Bryan as traitor to their sacred cause.

LONG PACIFYIHG.

The Boston Advertiser points out that it was over thirty years ago that the Dutch began campaign of benevolent assimilation of the Achinese in just about the same way as we have been benevolently assimilating the Filipinos, and after an expenditure of 10000, 900 and thousands of human lives the peo- pie are officially pacifed." It was twenty-five years ago that the first of ficial pacification was announced to Holland. and these official notes have been reiterated at intervals of five years until the present day. when the pacifi- cation is undoubtedly final--for a few months. anyway. @A "'4~'
 The idea is. we suppose. that the United States may be thirty years in "pacifying" the Philippines, but we are so much more rapid than the slow Dutch that this seems hardly possible. And yet we have already been in pos session of the Philippines about five years, and they are not wholly pacified yet. If we can make everything smooth in five more years that will be doing pretty we'll, considering our lack of ex- perience in pacifying colonies.

THREE MAYORS.

The three largest cities in the coun- try have mayors to-day each of whom represents phase of the new condition. Three ways there are to-day in which a man may become the dominant head of an American city. He may, as Mayor Low Of New York, represent the uprising and combination of the classes neither exploiting nor exploited. He may, like Mayor Harrison of Chicago. be the individual chieftain of his own political clan and personal following. in his case inherited. Philadelphia has in Mayor Weaver chief executive delib- erately selected by a powerful political machine, corrupt, interruptions. allied with every exploiting agency, corpora ton or political, whose head and whose governing men firmly believe that per- manent political power in current mu- nicipal conditions is only possible by giving efficient administration. All these mayors-and this is the great change of the last ten years-only the last ten years-hold their places under an avowed policy of improved city gov- ernment Mayor Low really stands for it. Mayor Harrison wants to be beliey- ed to stand for it. Mayor Weaver claims to stand for it, and has so far justified his claim. The first has con- trolled the franchise corporations and driven hard bargains with them. the second has headed a long crusade against them, and the htird has sur- prised Philadelphia by insisting on test ing their legal rights and claims. -Tal- colt Williams, in The Booklovers Mag azire.

The New York Outlook tells an amus- ing story illustrative of the vigilance of the Turkish censorship. There is a strict supervision over telegrams "A German engineer in the Lebanon placed an order with Paris firm for some sort of g stationary engine, to be shipped to him as soon as possible. The firm tele- graphed to inquire ho wmany revolu- lions minute he wanted. He answer ed. Five hundred revolutions a, min- ute" The next day he was arrested. Brought into court, the judge asked him if he lived in the Lebanon. He re- piled that he did. Do you correspond with such and such firm in Paris?" Yes. 'sAh!" cried the judge: q know you. You are the man who telegraphed to Paris that there are 800 revolutions minute in the Lebanon!"
 Rev. J. D. L. Hillyer of East Macon, Georgia. holds that lynching is defen- sible on scriptural grounds. It is inn possible for us, he said in a sermon, ito separate our religious and our civil du- ties. The real ground upon which capi- tai punishment is inflicted under Mosaic law is expiation. It is not simply to punish the offender or to deter others, but to wipe out the guilt that would ]
 belong to the whole people if the crime should be unpunished. Our system of trial by jury was invented some 600 or 700 years ago as our forefathers were emerging from barbarism. Then sub- stantial justice was possible and suffi- cientiy resennbled the Mosaic to be free from serious criticism. But that purity Of jury trial has given way to fragrant abuses. In one way and another trials are delayed until justice is impossible. Thus the law of God is despised, set aside and violated"
