BANzAIl

A Stirring Afternoon in Yokohama-
 Japanese Patriotic and Enthusiastic.
 As we approached the railway ter minus processions escorting one, two or three soldiers made their appearance in all the converglng streets; and over one of these processlons I counted no less than nineteen large banners and streamers, to say nothing of hundreds Of small flags carried by the marchers in their hands. When we reached the open space in front of the station we found it occupied by a great throng of shouting, cheering people who held aloft perfect forest of fiagstaffs, from which futtered big gonfalons of royal purple; long white streamers inscribed with the names of trade guiIdse; flags displaying a scarlet disc. on a white ground of the showy, red-rayed sun of Great Pippon;" and last, but not least the familiar colors of the Stars and stripes. Three or four bands were playing martial music by turns, and every now and then a dense crowd of men surrounding particular soldier would throw both hands high in the air and burst into fierce exultant shout |of "Banzi!' Dai Nippin teikoku ban zai' (Hurrah! for the Great Empire of Japan, hurrail!)
 Leaving the carriage, I made my way with some difficulty toward big Amer ican flag which could see side by side with a Japanese standard near the cen ire of the throng. Just before reach ed it one of the bands suddenly struck up 'Thee Battle Cry of Freedom The whole assemblagee instantly burst into a thunderous shout of "Banzai!" and before knew 1t I was holding both hands aloft in the Japanese fashion, and shouting ''Banzail" with all the voice had. It was not the battle-cry with which was most familiar; but if the Japanese were going to carry our flag and play our music, was ready to adopt their hurrah. A few minutes later another band began to play John Browns body lies moundering in the ground" and doubt very much whether that old war song, to which 50 many thousands of American troops have marched ever stirred the fighting

eoon MTTHoD.sT CHURCH.

The Methodist Church, which is strong in the Southern states of our Union, as it is most everywhere in this country. is not derelict as to taking stand against mob violence and lynehings, as lis evidenced by action taken by the Methodist church in statesboro, Georg- ia, regarding tl.e recent lyncting case there.
 The Southern Methodist Church, to it's honor. takes the lead in eondemna- tion and reprobation of these barbarde deeds of mobs. Slavery, it has been said is a relic of barbarism, but this most recent lynching case is worse than barbarism. The New York Inde- pendent, in noticing editorially this recent lynching case remarks: We have observed that somehow it is the Southern Methodist Church that seems to lead the way toward justice and fair treatment of all men in the section where that Church is strong. We have seen plenty of words but nowhere have we seen definite acts more hopeful than those taken by the Southern Metho- dist Church in statesboro. s. C., in re- ference to the lynching which took place there lately, when the sheriff and the militia showed such coward ice. The church has passed unanimous resolutions calling upon any of it's members to resign from the Church, unless "a public confession of wrong be made, with expression of sorrow and contrition." The pastor of the church, the Rev, Whitely Langston, had the courage to give to the Govern or's Commission of inquiry the names of several of the lynchers, and he has been strongly censured for it, but the church has votei to commend him for his Christian conduct"

GYPsIEs WITH GOLD.

Jose Michel Brings a band of 200 Col
 onists for Winnipeg and All Are
 Quarantined.
 With thousands of dollars in Hun garian gold-pieces dangling from the dresses of two of their women, POI gyp- sies, including a miscellaneous aggrega- tion of Servians, Roumanians, Hunga- rians, Greeks and Austrians, arrived on the Cunard liner Carpathia, September 2, en route for Winnepeg, Manitoba.
 It was wonderful picturesque and wonderfully filthy crowd of gypsies. Their leader who by the way, disclaim- ed any idea of being dubbed king, 7 was the only English speaking person in the POI. He was Jose Michel, Bra gillian by birth, and naturalized Amer ican citizen, and the other 200 gypsies ebeyed his every command.
 ''The queen" of the crowd was Aze- lia, a massive woman, whose bodice was decorated with so many strings of gold pieces, each of them the equivalent of an American s2O piece, that Michel could not tell the total value of the monetary decorations. Another woman, "zeleka, 7" by name, had almost as much gold about her body.
 T have more gold. much more" said Michel. And he took blue silk hand skerchief from the pocket of his aged father and disclosed at least s1.OOO worht more. Likewise his brother. He. too, had a small fortune tied up in gold pieces in little handkerchief.
 Notwithstanding the apparent untold wealth. the POI gypsies came in the Carpathia's steerage. and the officials of the line say that the forward .art of the ship will have to be thoroughly dis infected after the sypsies leave 1t.
 The Manhattan health officials re- fused to allow the gypsies to land be- cause of the filth and the fact that there were tweiityefive cases of measles among them. Ihey will be taken off

OUR IR EES.

Sentiment in the city of Newark, N. J., is being aroused by the Newark commission to the importance of tree protection. Sentiment ill our own city
 is also alive on this subject and espe- cially so at this time ewing to the loss If our grand old Franklin elm, the death Of a number Of very fine old elns in front of the United church and the decay of various others of the splendid lines of elms In and about our beautiful central or "old green" !" The sentiment behind the present planting of the Odd Fellow oak on the old green was pleasing evidence in this same line. Alas, this effort proved Ifruitless as the young sapling failed and died. The Hillhouse trees are rap idly aging and many of them have passed away. The far-famed beauty of the overhanging elrns on Temple street, especially on the green, is marred by the ruthless hand Of time. But public sentiment In New Haven Is now fully alive to the importance of cherishing our fine trees and Newark is being aroused to it's duty also. The Newark Advertiser says: "Our cities have been ruthlessly stripped of their finest shade trees and almost without protest. Tele- graph, telephone and electric light com panies have mutilated or destroyed trees without hindrance. There has been official vandalism, too, as the city parks Of Newark bear melancholy witt ness. Hundreds of beautiful elms planted by loving hands many years ago have been sacrificed on various pretences.
 A tree can be cut down within an hour. To bring that tree to maturity from the sapling takes a generation of time. It is so easy to destroy and so hard to restore. The American people have begun to appreciate tree growth at its worth and the generations that will succeed us will view landscapes in city and country more beautiful than those we now behold, for they will have their natural forest features re- stored to them" a

Ht-H7 ' BARBARIC.

No shadow of excuse can be found by
 the most rabid southern fire eater or
 most violent negro hater for the recent
 lynching in statesboro, Georgia. In this
 case the negro criminals had been tried
 by the courts. found guilty, and sen-
 fenced to death. But the mob, in most fragrant defiance of law, attacked the
 Jail or court house, utterly defied the
 militia who had been brought together, and lynched the prisoners. No southern
 journal has the shadow of a pretext
 for defending such an outrage as this
 and to their honor let it be said that
 none, as far as heard from, has at-
 tempted to justify or condone the of-
 fence. It was an offence against de- eency, against law and order, an act,
 in short, which only was to be expected |of utter barbarians and the most ignor-
 ant of savage races. The militia, too, completely failed to do their plain duty, and proved sfamelessly incompetent.
 Governor Terrell of Georgia has most properly ordered court-martial for the officers who commanded the afore- said militia, but most likely they will be let off with a mild reprimand. The governor had no other alternative aft
 aY. 4Ia ,.e,ar,,-t of 1J,a oc,,~4 ae d., ,s,,i,,,, in the case, which placed the respon- sibiltty upon the commanding officer and four of his sllbordinates, who cow ardly sf1irked their plain duty, and were no doubt in sympathy with the mob. The report censures the officers,
 and the more so. because the force of men they had was wholly adequate to restrain the mob and rescue the prfs- =oners. The officers actually mde no att tempt at all at rescue, the report says. 1t generates the enlisted men, as 1t appears they manifested a desire and readiness to do their duty in the case. One officer of the lot, Lieutenant Nc Intyre, is wholly exonerated, as he beg. ged at the time to be allowed to use his command to rescue the prisoners, but was refused. This most fragrant case of mob violation of law, done wlth- out shadow of excuse, must, if any thing can, awaken renewed sentiment and activity against lynching in the south, and in the north, too, for that matter.

the ship in tender, disinfected at Ellis Island, and then sent on to Winnipeg.
 The gypsies are going to colonize in Winnipeg, where they have. under the leadership of Michel, bought lands. Michel is seemingly making a very good thing out of his colonization scheme. He practically owns his fel- low roYers, and not one of them seemed to have anything to say without first consulting Michel.
 Notwithstanding the wealth among them, the gypsies made life miserable aboard the ship for the other steerage passengers. They continually begged cigarettes, drinkables and eatables from the other passengers and many of them added quite sum to their hoard by telling the fortunes of the cabin pas sengers on the ship.

WOMAN ADOPTED BY INDIANS

Miss Jameson Becomes One of the Deer
 Clan of senecas.
 The unusual and picturesque ceremo- ny of being adopted by an Indian tripe is the novel experience that came dur Ing the summer to one Rochester young woman.
 Miss Mary Jameson, the pastors as ,sistant at the Third Presbyterian church, has just returned from her summer home at Lotus Point, Lake Erie, which is seven miles from the Cattaraugus Reservation. There for the last few summers Miss Jameson has been accustomed to visit the Indi- ans and conduct services for them on occasional Sundays. Because of her interest in them and her friendship, which they have observed for several might not adopt her and give her an Indian name.
 Accordingly, the day was set and the Indian rites were gone through with that initiated her into one of their clans. She was adopted into the Deer clan of the Seneca tribe of the Iroquois nation and given the name of Ah-wae- agwas, name meaning Picking flow CTS out of the water On her consent ing to become their sister" two tall Indians stood one each side of her and discoursed at length in the language of the Senecas to the assembled company of Indians. Then one of them took her by the hand and walked her up and down between the rows of Indians, singing an Indian song. after which he conducted her to her seat and an nounced that henceforth she was An Wae-agwas their sister.
 A few days after the ceremony she was visited at her cottage by a com pany of Indians, who presented her with an ancient Indian silver brooch. Each tribe of the Iroquois is divided into eight clans known as Wolf, Bear, Beaver, Turtle, Deer, snipe. Heron and Hawk, and each tribe is sort of se- cret fraternity in which the members stand by each other in sorrow or joy.
 A strange rule among the clans is that members of the same clan cannot marry The children belong to the clan of the mother. They not only call her mother, but they call all her sisters mother, and they call her sisters chil-s dren brothers and sisters. This is the reason they do not marry in their own clan. If marriages are unhappy, the parties are at liberty to marry again, and the mother has the sole right to the disposal Of the children. Rochester Herald.

.rH RUSY.

The democrats are getting aroused by the tocsins indicating coming democrat ic defeat, which have been sounded in Vermont and Maine, and begin to think it is time to bestir themselves. The New York World voices these sen- timents in a lengthy editorial full of
 ginger, in which 1t appeals as follows:
 From this moment there should be
 infused into the campaign the energy of conviction, of resolve and of conff-
 denee. There are in Indiana, in Illinois and in Wisconsin. where the fight should be hotly pressed, fifty-flve elec- toral votes. Nearly two million and a Ihalf voters will go to the polls in these doubtful states. Chairman Taggart, who understands the local conditions,
 would do his party and his country a great service by taking personal com mand of the party forces in these states, leaving New York, New Jer- sey and Connecticut to the manage Iment of men more familiar with condi- tiona in the east"
 That's the way to talk to 'em.

There is in the public library at Brattleboro the Brooks library, a relic of the Mexican war, presented to the town by Colonel Austine, a shell which fell very near him in one of the bat ties in which he was engaged. He was then a young lieutenant of artillery, and when the shell from the enemy's guns buried itself in the sand, few feet from where he was standing, he marked the spot and later unearthed the shell. And speaking of war relics, New Haven is abounding at present in relics of the Bull Run battles, picked up by our own soldier boys during the mimic war experiences of last week.
