Arkansas commercial interests andI
will be far-reaching in its effects.

Sacrilegious Act Of superstitious ltal.

Half of a saint was carried
away by pious people from the Church
Of Cessna Damiano, well known to
travellers as an enclosure in the Tenn
pie of Romulus at Rome. During
alterations in the ancient church, an
antique sarcophagus containing the
remains of the noted Franciscan
monk was unearthed and temporarily
placed in a side chapel. This monk,
who died in 1924, was a celebrated
preacher, and the pious people of the
district took it for granted that he
was also a saint. Learning that the
corpse a remarkably well preserv-
ed, a story of miracles was noised
about, and a a consequence the
church was mobbed by men, women
and children, who crowded around
the coffin. The crush was so great
that a company of soldiers was call
ed to clear the church. When order
was restored it was seen that one.

there is plenty and seemed to think
it was rather wasteful to leave any

calls for another. Perhaps owing to

The pygmies of Central Africa

spite of recent discoveries, still be.
lieve that these dwarfs only live in
the land Of fable. Their home isl in
a village called Ndombe. They n{m-
Der about five thousand and inhdbit
huts like beehives with an entrance
at the bottom. Curiously enough, their
king is not a dwarf, but a giant, meas.
uring six feet six inches in height Ind
with a proportionate breadth. The
pygmies live entirely by hunting, for
which they use a bow and poisoned
arrows. Mr.. Samuel Werner, Who
probably knows more about them than
any n else, speaks of their sururis-
ing skill with their weapons, having
seen one shoot a running rat at a
distance of twenty yards. They are
so strong and active that fifty miles
is an average days march for them,
and their senses are so keen that they
can compete with their own dogs in
this respect.

The new shoes and the new hosiery

make sad inroads upon the summer

and is always the expensive.
One Of the most striking features in

is the triumphant fashion in which
the tan shoe has risen from it's ashes.
Laid aside entirely for a time, it has
come back into more than it's old-time
popularity, and it is meeting a cordial
welcome; for not only is it beautiful
in new models, but it is also cooler

London. JAM 20.-The Guild hall was
packed to suffocation yesterday to hear
Joseph Chamberlain speak.
: Mr.. Chamberlain. who was accompa-
MED by his wife, received a great ova-
tion. He began by declaring that the
provincial centers of commerce Of the
United Kingdom had been heard from
in regard to his tariff proposals. but
the views Of the citizens of London
were not yet known. He desired to
ascertain how the city men felt on the
subject of his scheme before the open
ing of Parliament. but he regretted
that owing to its non-political charac-
ter the meeting would not have the op-
portunity of voting directly for or
against him.
Mr.. Chamberlain. who said he be-
lieved the same arguments he used in
the provinces would appeal equally to
imperialistic London. then proceeded
to reiterate his well known fiscal
views. He pointed out that while Lon
don was now the clearing house of the
world. he doubted II that position
could be maintained II the ancient fis-
cal superstition was to be upheld. Be-
fore it was too late. a lesson should be
learned from the fate Of Venice. Hol-
land and the Hanseatic states, whose
greatness had vanished because they
have no productive and creative energy

COLORED MEN
MAY BE JURORS

Washington, Jan. 20.-The United
States Supreme Court has again reaf-
firmed the ruling made in the case OF
Carter versus the State OF Texas. to the
effect that the exclusion OF negroes
from grand juries in cases involving
criminal charges against members or
their race is in violation OF the consti-
tuition and therefore not permissible.
The decision was delivered by JUS
tice Holmes in the case OF a resident OF
Alabama named Rogers. who was in
dicted for murder by grand jury COM
posed entirely of white men and from
which It is charged that all negroes
were excluded because of their color.
The Supreme Court OF the state upheld
the regularity of the proceedings, but
Rogers brought 1t to the federal court
on a writ OF error, with the result that
the decision of the state court was re-
versed and the case remanded to the
state courts for further proceedings.
not inconsistent with to-day's opinion.
This opinion was based on the Carter
case. in which 1t was held that ''the
exclusion OF all persons OF the African
race from grand jury which finds an
Indictment against a negro In q state
court, when they are excluded solely
because of race or color. denies him
equal protection Of the laws in viola
ton of the fourteenth amendment OF
the constitution OF the United States.
whether such exclusion is through the
action Of the Legislature. through the
courts or through the executive or ad-
ministrative officers OF the state"
