RACE OF SWIMMERS.
Queer Conformation of New Guine~
Savages who Live Mostly
In the water.

A race Of men so used to swimming
that they cannot walk-well, 1t Is safer
To say right of that this is no fairy
story, but a sober report Of 81. Fran
els T. Winter, acting administrator OF
New Guinea, to the governor general
thereof, says the New York World.
These strange grown-up water
babies" are called the Ahgaiambo, and
have lived in swamps for a period
which goes back beyond native tradi"
ton. Their houses ar. raised on piles
about u feet above .he water, which
they traverse in dugout canoes.
They are expert swimmers, gliding
through reeds or over floating yege-
table matter with ease. Their mode OF
life has reacted upon their physical
character, with the result that they
cannot well walk on hard ground, their
teet bleeding If they try TO do 80.
Sir Francis Winter says Of two Of the
tribe-a man and a woman;
THE man would have been a fair
sized native had his body from the hips
downward been proportioned 10 tho
upper part Of his frame lie had
good chest and-for a native-a thick
neck, and his arms matched his trunk.
His feet were short and board and
very thin and fiat. with-for a native
ak-looking toes. This last feature
was still more noticeable in the woman,
whose toes were long and slight and
stood out rigidly from the foot AZ
though they possessed no joints.
THE feet Of both the man and the
woman seemed to rest on the ground
something like wooden feet would do.
The skin above the knees Of the man
was in loose folds and the sinews and
muscles around the knee were not well
developed.
"In the ordinary native the skin on
the loins is smooth and tight, and the
anatomy OF the body is clearly dis
cernible, but the Ahgaambo man had
several folds of thick skin Of muscle
across the loins. which concealed the
outlines Of his frame. On placing ono
of the natives Of the same height along
side the marsh man we noticed that
our native was about three inches high
er at the hips.
81 had a good view Of the man while
he was standing sideways toward me,
and in figure and carriage he looked to
me more apelike than any human be-
| ing that have ever seen, The woman.
| who was OF middle age, was much
more slightly formed than the man,
but her legs were short and slender
aud from the waist to the knees she was
clothed in wrapper Of native cloth"

SOUTHERN NEGRO PEONAGE.
The United states Department of
Justice Has InBugurated
Rigid Investigation.

Washington. May 2s.-At the re-
quest of the department OF Justice,
the United States secret service has
undertaken the work of investigation
Of the charge of peonage, or holding
another in servitude to work out a
debt, which has been made against
persons living in the vicinity of Mont
gomerty Ala.
The punishment provided 10y the
statute for this crime is a fine of not
less than $1,000 nor more than Sj,-
O9O, or imprisonment of not more than
one year nor more than five.
One man has already been indicted
for keeping a negro in seryitude for
at least year,
Information in the hands OF Chief
Wiikie tends to show that regular
system has been practiced for a long
time between certain magistrates and
persohs who want negro laborers.
1t is said that the plan is to bring
Z poor negro before a magistrate on
a tiimsy charge, He is convicted, and
having no money to pay a fine, the
white man offers TO advance him the
money, provided the negro will make
a labor contract with him for length
of time sufficient to reimburse him
for the money and trouble he has
taken to keep the negro out Of Jail.
He is, thercupon, taken away and
begins what is frequently long term
of cruel servitude, being frequently
whipped for failure to perform work
TO the satisfaction of his employer.
The federal grand jury returned five
additional indictments Tuesday, but
the names are withheld for the pres
ent.
