Remnants of an Ancient Race.
Living on the island of Sakhalln with
the convict population are the remnants
Of an ancient race. The Anus, as they
are called, mix little with the Russian

their ancestors have always lived. The
Japanese have attempted to encourage
these aboriginaIs to improve their cir

the VirtHty which originally enabled
them to conquer a still older race. They
remain in their utterly unciyilized con-

KILLS HIS RIVAL
BEFORE SWEETHEART.
John Henry Hacker Shoots Down
Hiram Barnett and Wounds
Greenberry Prather.

Saylersville, Ky, June 2S,-John
Henry Hacker killed Hiram Barnett,
his rival, in the presen,e OF the girl
they both admired, Miss Leila Gnrns,
in Breaihilt county, a few miles from
Daisy last night, Greenborry
prather, IA companion OF Barnett,
was also wounded.
Miss Gurns is niece Of Burns Fitz-
patrick, the man who hung the jury
in the trial of White and Jett, charg-
ed with the murder OF J B Marcum
in the famous Breathitt county feud,
and this ieud was indirectly the cause
OF the killing last night,
1t appears that Miss Gurns sent
for Hacker, who also was a relative
OF one Of the jury men, and told him
Barnett had been circulating story
to the effect that Hacker had accused
her uncle OF being a friend OF tire
Hargises and after the trial had
brought home with him n Winches-
ter rifle.
Hacker denied having circulated
any such story about her uncle and
said he would see Barnett about the
matter. He started out to get on
his horse just as Barnett and Prath-
er came. He took Barnett aside and
asked him about the statements and
Barnett said it had been told to him,
and called upon boy named David
son to prove that he had reported
the story as told to him.
Hacker became angry and opened
the trouble by whipping out his
revolver and shooting at Barnett,
The first bullet missed and Barnett
escaped into the house, where he pro
cured q Winchester rifle and, running
to the door, opened fire on Hacker,
who at the same instant shot him
through the heart.
Hacker received bullet in his
shoulder and, changing his pistol to
his other hand, continued to fire
One OF the bullets struck Prather
who ran to Barnett when he fell.
The i'll feeling between the men had
been existing since last week.

Cut His Throat to Foil Lynchers.

Hot Springs, Ark, June 2S-Last
night, a mob of over 800 persons
surrounded the Jail, bent uponiyncf,.
ing Jim Dougherty, the condemned
murderer, who, early in the day, dis
emboweled Roger Williams, a fellow
prisonerin confinement, charged with
completely in fake foot races, with a
razor he had secreted.
The mob was rapidly growing de-
monstrative and threatening to at
tack the jail to secure the double mur
derer, when the county sheriff went
before them and made An appeal in
an effort to dissuade them from their
purpose.
While the sheriff was pleading with
the people to let the law take it.,
course, a female prisoner in the cor
ridor called out through the windows
that Dougherty had cut his throat.
The sheriff quickly investigated, and
fonnd that the murderer had takeI,
the steel ends OF his shoe strings, fat
tened them out and made 2 incl
incision on each side OF the throat
causing death.
The mob was allowed to view the
remains, and quietly and quickly
dispersed. Williams remains will be
shipped to Louisville tomorrow.

Currency Reform Before Conuress.

Currency legislation in the extra session of congress is looming up prominently, especially in political circles. The republican managers seem to think they must meet the slumps of the past and the possible slumps of the future with some pana- cea warranted to cure all commercial and financial ills. An honest and just measure of currency reform is not expected. All that is wanted is some thing that reads we'll on it's face, and that can be used to bridge over next years ampaign-something that will satisfy campaign subscribers as well as tho masses.
 Whether this will be an Aldrich bill for the distribution of the public moneys among the banks at low rates of interest, to be reloaned to the peo- pie at high rates, or whether it will be a rubber currency based on "chips and whetstones," is not known. Both plans have advocates, as we'll as op- ponents. Both are in the hands of re- publican experts who keep an eye sin gle to November, 1904.
 If the Aldrlchites were bit honest tl-ey would ask for a reform of the Dingley tariff, which is piling up money neeoiessly in the treasury, thereby inviting extravaganza and even corruption. Money left In the pockets of lhe people would enlarge the currency, and economy in public expenditures would help some also. But these old fashioned remedies never occur to the Aldrich- Dingley crowd, who are now conducting legis- lation in congress, tempered to some extent by lie views of Joseph G. Can non. The Aldrich plan is particularly obnoxious, because it would operate to tLrow the bankers into a combine ready to fight any reduction of taxa ton that would lead to calling in of government leans of currency to the national banks. Anyway the Aldrich scheme is looked at it is objectionable.

SOUTHERN IRON PRICES.

From New York Journal of Commerce.
 The blast furnaces in the Birmingham, Ala, district, which belong to the South ern Furnace association, have made a fourth cut within six months in the price of forge and foundry iron, bringing No. foundry down from SIS to SIP ton, and gray forge from $16.75 to $1O.75. This is. of course, due to a generally reduced demand for the material, for the price would be kept up so long as the full out put of the furnaces could be disposed of at the prevailing rate. High prices have checked consumption and the producers outside of the northern combination have been feeling the effect because of the difficulty of their access to the markets which the latter controls. While the de- mand was strong enough to take up the full supply they could overcome this diff ficulty without reducing prices. but lat terly this has become necessary to keep them going. Even now, it Is said, the effect will not be seriously felt in the Pittsburg district because little southern iron can get in there "on account of the high rate of freight, which is nearly $5 a ton."
 This suggests that the combined in- terests which are dominated by the Steel corporation have the help of railroads in maintaining a virtual monopoly in their field. If they can shut out both foreign and southern competition they will be able to maintain prices until they check consumption in the markets which they supply This has already occurred to some extent and prices have been re- duced at some points, but they are pret- ty stiffy maintained upon railroad and structural steel
