FOOT FOUND.

Albany, N. y, Sept. 10 A sew
cred human foot and lower leg. that
of a man. was found today beside the
barn of the Hotaling hotel at Coey-
mans.
The gruesome object was in paste
board box with vest and an empty
bottle. The front of the vest was
slashed into strips as if with knife,
and in the pocket was a note, part of
it written in English, which said in
part:
Dear Romeo: John Adams was at
my place last night, and said he was
going to Albany to find you and kill
you. Don't launch; you know what
you did to his brother.''
Coroner Van Guysling of this city
has the case in charge and will inves-
tlgate. The doctors who have exam
ined the foot say the ampuuation was
not the work of surgeon, and must
have been done about four days ago.

Asbury Park, N j., Sept. 10.-At
the convention of the Evangelical Lu
theran synod of New York and New
Jersey, held here today. a resolution
was introduced by Rev. C. W Hesler
of Albany. in sympathy with the
movement to oust Reed Smoot from
his seat in the United States senate.
After ten minutes heated discussion
the motion was laid ON the table by
vote of 1S to l3. In part the reso-
luton follows;
Whereas. the seating of the said
Smoot is a direct insult to the purity
and integrity of the houses and the
families of this Christian Nation and
public recognition of an avowed expo
nent and officials of Mormonism, with
its accompanying polygamy, is in di-
rect contravention of the basic princi-

Resolved. That through our secre-
tary we memorialize the Congress of
the United States to propose an amend
ment to the Federal Constitution for
ever prohibiting polygamy and polyg-
amous practices in the United States

THE BURGOMASTER.

The title of the musical comedy

on such stormy night. But not one
of that splendid audience present
would have missed it. had the wealth
er been ten times as threatening as it
was Without the elements battled.
while within the house, the scene was
most animated.
The cast seemed to catch the spirit
of the occasion and did their utmost
to please responding time and again
to the hearty applause that greeted
their efforts.
A note on the program advised the
audience not to worry about historical
inaccuracies, therefore. we will only
say that the scene of the Burgomaster
is laid in New Amsterdam, with old
Peter Stuyvesant, one of the famous
five Dutch governors in the leading
role
All the high coloring of those early
times and the quaint expressions of
the people. were broadly set out. The
scene changes and after a Rip Van
Wrinkle sleep of $50 years or there
abouts, Old Stuyvesant wakes up, to
find the New York of 1903
The structure of the entire piece is
to give opportunity to clever choruses
to sing delightful songs and to
introduce little love comedy, in
which Ruth White, the leading lady
has opportunity to show a most grace
full, but not mannish form and the
daintiest creations Aof-her tailor, in
several very taking suits. AS Willie

could take Willie and keep him for a

Throughout the comedy, in its
musical sweetness there were nearly
two dozen songs, sung IN delightful
harmony by the company, the solo
parts being taken by respective mem
bers of the cast.

The Indian chorus was delightful.

The talk of the play would how
ever, be incomplete without
some mention of the inimitable

E. Booth Talkington. He kept the
audience in merry good mood, when

One would naturally think that the
anxiety of American heiresses to secure
for husbands persons with foreign
titles should abate now that there has
been a most thorough exposure of the
fact that there are persons in Europe
who made a pructice of looking up
such titles for persons disposed to start
out to capture the American young
women of wealth existent or expectant
The titled foreigners as a rule have
little else than titles, and even those
are frequently bogus and the individ-
uals have not even a common repute.
The American young women will soon
find that those of their number who
married titled and penniless foreigners
are marked as possessing no wit, and
when that time comes about our young
women, daughters of wealthy parents,
will seek afinities among American
young men of brain and Drawn.

II Germany does not lower the bars
she has raised against the importation
of American meat products her middle
classes will be left to the alternative of
starvation or emigration, according to
an Investigation made by the National
Provisioner, the organ of the provision
trade In this country. The paper
thinks there are indications that the
restrictions governing meat importa-
lions will be lightened instead. to the
great benefit of American trade, for
the simple reason that, unless this is
done. Germany cannot feed her own
people. With only 80 per cent more
population than Germany, the United
States kills three times as many cattle,
nearly five times as many pigs, and
seven times as many sheep. annually,
and when all the great amount sent
out by this country is allowed for,
there is still left three times as much
meat for every head OF the population
as there is in Germany. That fact,
the paper argues, makes us the biggest
meat eaters in the world and the
nation with the stoutest manhood, and
in time it will make Germany come to

SPIRIT OF THE PRESS.

The war on Smoot, it is said, will be
followed by a campaign in Idaho, in
which the Democrats will endeavor to
reestablish the test oath against the
Mormons in that state.
The statement of the facts by which
this campaign is justified as is follows:
Several years ago the Mormon
church issued a manifesto, through it's
presidency. to the effect that, in obed-
fence to the laws of the United States,
the church would hold its polygamy
doctrines in allowance, In accordance
with that manifesto, and taking the
church at its word, the state of Idaho
repealed the test oath. That oath
was required to be taken by every
voter in the state. 1t declared that
the voter was not living in state of
polygamy, and that he did not owe
any allegiance which he owed the state
and the national government.
1t has become so plain that no one
can dispute the fact that the Mormon
church has not lived up to it's mani
festo. Polygamy is still being prac-
ticed openly, and the promise of the
church to keep it's hands out of poll
tics which was also made in the mani
festo, is being openly violated.
A forecast of the fight on Smoot is
not rosy for the attacking party, but
Dubois and his friends may do better
in Idaho. -Du nth (Minn) News-Trib-

WHEN INDIANS FEASTED.
They Had Meat and Vegetables In
Great Variety in Aboriginal
Times.

What did the Indians eat? Gabriel
Thomas writing in 1896 tells up that
"they live chiefly on Maze or Indian
Corn roasted in Ashes sometimes beat
en- boyd with Water, called Hominie.
They have cakes, not unpleasant; also
Beans and Pease, which nourish much,
but the Woods and Rivers afford them
their provision; they eat morning and
evening, their Seats and Tables on the
ground" Mr.. C. C. Abbott tells in
Travels in a Tree-Top" of other veg
etable foods known to the Indians;
the roots of the golden club, arrowleaf
and ground nut, besides various ber-
berries and nuts.
It is well known, says Youths Com
panion. that extensive orchards were
planted by these people. 1t may be
added that, in all proba bility, the tu-
bers of that noble plant, the lotus, were
used as food.
1t is clear that the Delawares were
meat-eaters. It needs but little dig
ging on any village site to prove this,

The remains of deer were largely in
excess, and as this statement holds
good OF every village site of the In
dams, doubtless they depended more
largely upon the deer than upon all
the others.
II individual tastes varied as they do
among us, we have certainly sufficient
variety here to have met every fancy.
