AN ANTI-SANTA CLAUS CRU -

erintendents of New Jersey assembled
in convention at Asbury Park have
inaugurated a crusade against Santa
CLAUS. The good old saint who has

unworthy of consideration by Christ

One good thing about these reform

the cult, they do not seek to wipe out
the Objectionable feature without
building up something in its stead

RAPE And LYNCHING.

Wheeling, W. Va, July IA
despatch to the Register from Blue
field, says:
The full details of one of the
blacklist crimes that has ever blotted
the history of the State has just
reached this city. In Devon, little
fourteen year old girl was assaulted
by negro. The negro was afterwards
lynched by an enraged mob of over 200
men. The little girl was caught
short distance from her home by the
nergo and carried to a nelghborlng
wood, where she was tied to tree.
bound and gagged. Her absence was
noticed by the neighbors. who lmme-
diately formed themselves into
searching party. The girl was found
in almost a dying condition, but able
to tell her story.
After a consultation it was decided
to lie in wait for the girls assailant.
In short time he appeared and was
about to renew his assault upon the
helpless child when the searchers made
for him. He WAS dragged to the
village common and bound to'a tree.
Only by the greatest efforts of the
leaders was the crowd held from
tearing the man to pieces His cloth
ing was torn from his body, and pins,
tacks, pen knives and every conceiv-
able weapon of tortrue was stuck IN
to the negro's flesh as he struggled
and pleaded for life.
The almost lifeless form of his little
victim was then placed before the eyes
of the negro. while willing hands cut
the tongue from his swollen mouth.
His cries became inooherent and be-
fore the enraged citizens could be
checked, the skin was literally torn
from his body and distributed among
the villagers. The negro died with
his eyes on the little girl he had as
saulted. His heart was then cut out
with jackknives, his toes and fingers
chopped off and carried away as me-
mentoes. His mangled body was then
soaked with kerosene and fired.

speech that reads like a genuine Bos
worn-out myth of Santa Claus is
harmful to children in taking their
minds off the real significance of the
day. What we propose to do is to
make them happier by giving them
more healthful and more real pleasure
without tainting their minds with
ancient paganism."
To this end the lights we're ex-
tinguished and signal brought out
upon n screen a stereopticon view en-
titled ''The Chimes. " While the au-
dience gazed at this four girls, robed
in white, rendered carol. This view
was followed by series of similar
ones all in plain black and white, and
each accompanied by carol or a
reading from the Scriptures. Some of
the views bore tie following titles {:
" Bringing Home the Christmas Tree, "
"Glving to the Poor, D." cit Is Better
to Give Than to Receive, " "The Five
Points Children at Christmas Din
ner," and christmas in Paris"
The good Sunday school workers of
New Jersey are doubtless imbued with
the belief that they are on the right
track, but the substitute offered in lieu
of the jolly old saint will hardly APP
peal to those who remember the days
of their childhood, and to attempt to
give the children cheap stereopticon
show IN place of the Christmas tree
with old Santa to distribute the gifts
is sheer folly. Sometime in the future
New Jersey may rid her summer re-
sorts of the mosquito pest but never
will New Jersey reformers succeed i'll
robbing the children of good old Santa
Claus.

JUSTICE BREWER ON LYNCHING.

Associate Justice Brewer of the
United States Supreme Court was in
Milwaukee recently and is quoted as
giving the following opinion on
lynching, which is particularly peril
nent just now inasmuch as the pro-
blem is being more seriously consid-
cred, perhaps, than at any former
time Justice Brewer said:
Every man who takes part in the
burning or lynching of negroes is a
murderer, and should be so considered
in the eyes of the law. Although it
is always given in defence of such
actions that what are known to law
yers as extenuating circumstances les
sen to a considerable degree the grav-
ity of the offense it is my opinion
that no circumstances whatever can
change the classification of the crime
to anything else but murder. Any
man who kills his fellowman other.
wise than in defense of himself or his
property commits nothing less than
murder. The man who takes part in
the burning of a negro, no matter
how atrocjous was the latter's con-
duct, is guilty of this crime.
OF course there may be extenuation
which might vary the degree of the
crime, but the principal participants
in the crime can be held by any court
in the land for murder in the same
degree as if the crime were committed
by an individual. know that the
sentiment varies regarding this sub
ject in different parts of the country.
In the south, the lynching of negro
who has committed an assault on a
white girl is considered proper and
just, just as is the summary shooting
of man who calls you liar to your
face. In neither case do | call the
circumstances extenuating in the
least The crime can be called MOTH
ing else than murder.
1t is my belief that there will soon
be a popular reaction against this
wholesale lynching which seems to
have swept the country of late. Pub
lie interest is at last being aroused by
/, lie frequency OF the occurrence. This
ye,ao ton should come in the form of
pyop,s,- legislation. We judges of the
bench ale powerless to act on this
question. We. cannot take the initia-
tive step until the cases are brought
under our jurisdiction. Oar hands
are virtually folded. Somebody must
prosecute before the law can take its
course. No lynching case has ever
found its way to the Supreme Bench,
and probably none will unless the
crime is committed in the District OF
Columbia

The ARTHUR MONUMENT.

The Chester A. Arthur monument,
destined TO mark the birthplace of the
late President in Fairfield, is stranded
near the depot in Sheldon village be-
cause sufficient horse power could not
be drafted to haul it to its final desti-
nation. The monument weighs from
eight to ten tons and although sixteen
horses were employed in the effort to
move it, they could not be made to
pull together and the work was aban-
doned for the time being. Charles A.
Smith of this city has charge of plac-
ing and setting the monument and he
returned one day last week with any
thing but words of praise for Sheldon
horses. He has turned the matter over
to Ex-Governor Stickney who is now
wrestling with it.
In the meantime the granite which
will forever mark one of Vermont S
historic spots is attracting lots of at
teption in Sheldon, and the ingenious
boys of that town have already put it
to good use. Among the July Fourth
pranks in Sheldon was the hangin g in
effigy of prominent citizen who re-
Gently became unpopular with the
younger element, as prominent citizens
sometimes do. The etfigy hung in a
conspicuous place for several days and
then the boys, taking advantage of the
fact that a famous monument was
stranded ON a nearby street, carried
the image of cloth and straw to the
spot and inferred it beneath the huge
stone Here it remained for time
until some one endowed with due
amount of reverence for the final pur-
pose of the monument, bat not en-
| dowed with sufficient power to move
it, carried away the effigy instead
There the monument remains and
there it doubtless will remain until
some trained horses are taken from
| Montpelier or Barre to move it.

SELLS HIS SHETLANDS.

George Cassie, the veteran Shetland
pony breeder of Barre, has sold his
entire herd of Shetlands to DR.. S. B.
Elliott, secretary of the Willard Hos
pital at Bedford, Mass. The herd in
cludes forty one animals, brood mares,
colts and stations. Mr. Cassie was
paid %, 400. The ponies will be
shipped little later to Bedford. Mr..
Caste is undecided whether he will
handle any more Shetlands or not,
but probably will. He has been en-
gagged in the business for the past
eighteen years, at times having as
many as seventy ponies in his herd.
The climate here seems to agree with
the animals.
