ESQUIfAU SWEAT BATH.
Would Probably Kill a White Boy; Ma
 lives However, Enjoy It.

Bows who make a fuss because their pareIits oblige them to take frequent baths should be glad they are not Els quimau children, living on the shores of Norton Sound. In that cold region of Alaska all the boys are obliged to take a sweat bath once week, and this bath is no joke. A fire of drift wood is built in the center of the floor of the kashim, the one room house, where the men and boys of the village pass most of their time, and when the smoke has passed off and the wood Is reduced to red, glowing coals, a- cover is put over the smoke-hole in the roof, and the place becomes intensely hot The boys then take off their clothes and sit about the furnace-like apart as the shell of boiled lobster and seems on the point of sblistering.
 Owing to the intense heat, the bath e7.s are obliged to wear respfrators to protect their lungs. These respirators are pads of shavings bound together. concave in the inside and convex on the outside, and large enough to cover the mouth, nose and part of the cheeks Of the wearer Across the inside runs a little wooden bar which Is held by the teeth to keep the respirator in place. The boys sit there until they are dripping with precipitation. Then they rush outside into the intense cold and roll in the snow.
 : F. W. Nelson, who spent between four and five years in Investigating fo' the government the Esquimaux living about Behring Strait. says: "On sey eral occasions saw them go from the sweat bath to holes in the ice on q neighboring stream, and, squatting there, pour ice water over their back and shoulders with a wooden dipper apparently experiencing the greatest pleasure from the operation" Al though the Esq1nmau boys seem t. withstand such bath as this all righ4 and seem even to enjoy it, 1t would, i' all proba bility, kill any white boy who tried it--Detroit New-Tribune.

Case of Caleb Powers.

Striking, sensational, thrilling in it's live and absorbing interest is the startling revelation made in the March McClure's by Samuel Hopkins ,Adalls in plain and forceful State ment of the facts in the Case of the State of Kentucky versus Caleb Pow ers.' In spite of national interest in the great political tragedy which so recently rent Kentucky in twain the surprising thing is that there has nowhere appeared anything like a complete and accurate statement Of its dramatic details. It Is stated on the editorial authority of McClure's, and fully substantiated, that at the time of the trials of Caleb Powers for the murder of William Goebel, who died Governor of Kentucky four years ago, from the rifle shot of an unknown assassin, the newspaper re ports which were sent out both by omission and bias presented an en- tirely distorted view of the case. The impression of the defendants guilt thus created was so widespread that, outside of Kentucky, the conviction of Powers was universally accepted as righteous. MT Adams article pur- poses to deal with the actual facts in the case, without respect to political opinion. Nothing short Of revela- tion is the result Simply, directly and vigorously MT Adams tells the dramatic story of the poibical feud which eliminated in the death Of Goebel. He describes the political situation in Kentucky which precipi- tabed the tragedy. as much as Is defin- itely known of the tragedy itself, events connected with 1t, the arrest and trial of Secretary of State Caleb Powers; Jim Howard, the mountain feudist, and Henry Youtsey. the prov. en faker and manifest degenerate
 The three trials Of Powers are de scribed as mere travesies of justice. The republican leader was each time condemned in advance by solidly democratic jurdes picked for that pur- pose. before prejudiced judges on evi- dence totally insufficient. The char acter sketch MT Adams draws of Powers is most attra ctive. It is that of fine, strong. young noun taineer of un6linching courage, cool and unbroken self possession even when standing in the very shadows of the gallows Mir Adams rightly places the responsibility for Powers conviction and threatened death upon the state of Kentucky. Under sim liar circumstances Powers fate might have been precfpitated by either po- litical party, in Kentucky. It is not the party but the system, which is at fault. This timely article adds ma terially to McClure's reputation as an exponent of national journalism. Tear ing the veil of partdsanship from the case it let's in the light of unbiased truth which dn simple justice and common humanity is due. Tn the light of an enlightened public senti~ ment it does not seem possible that the state of Kentucky will care to as- sune the onus of legal lynching, no matter how bitter may be the politi- cal feud which would inspire it.

BUILDING DEDICATED.
Special Train Took Many Citizens of
 Blue Grass State, to, St Louis !

f& Blue Grass State, to St Louis.
 St Louis, Feb 24.-Kentucky's 8 state building at the Worlds fair was dedicated last Saturday with i'm pressive ceremonies. Nearly 15O Kentuckians, men and women, came to St Louis for the event.
 The party reached St Louis in the morning on special train from Louisville. It was headed by several state officials. The train was boarded at Union station by a reception com mittee from. the Kentucky society, and run out to the fair grounds where it was switched to the tracks of the Intra mural railway. .
 After a trip over the exposition grounds, luncheon was served in the administration building. Here the party was addressed by President Francis of the exposition. who had just returned from Washington. Re- sponses were made by Lieutenant Governor W. F. Thorne and A. Y. Ford. After lunch the party again boarded the special train for the Ken lucky building.
 The exercises were held in the state hall of the "New Kentucky Homc,'' which had been prettily decorated for the occasion. An or chestra greeted the visitors with fa- nliilar k kentucky eirs. The assem- blaze was called to order shortly af- ter 3 o'clock by w. H. Newman, chairman of the building committee, who introduced MT Caldwell, of Cald- well & Blake, the firm that erected the pavilion. He presented the keys of the building to MT Newman, who in his speech of acceptance, spoke appreciatingly of the aid and encour- agement In the work of securing the funds to erect the structure given by President Francis. He was followed by A. Y. Ford, who introduced Lieu tenant Governor Thorne.
 Lieutenant Governor Thorne was followed by the entire audience sing ing the chorus of My Old Kentucky Home," the verse being rendered by Daviess Pittman. President Francis was then introduced and given an en- thusiastic reception by the people from his native state.
 The Kentucky society of St Louis was represented by Colonel Sim T. Price, who was thesnext speaker. He was followed by R. NJ. Miller of Louisville.
 Many members of the Kentucky legislature were present, some of them being accompanied by their wives. The party included, besides the lieutenant governor, Eli Brown, speaker of the Kentucky house, H. V. McChesney, secretary of state; Henry Bosworth, state treasurer; A. Y. Ford, president of the Kentucky Worlds Fair commission; R. B. Hughes, secretary of the commission, and D. P. Curry, president of the Kentucky Commercial club.
 } In the evening the visitors were guests of the Kentucky society of St Louis at banquet given at the Mis- souri Athletic club rooms.

KLEPTOMANIA AND VICTIMS.
French Alienist Explains Why Rich
 Steal From Shops -

French Alienist Explains Why Rich Steal From Shops. Kleptornania has cropped out again in France under different name. The Parisians call it magasinitis, and this new fangled appelladen for the fashionable complaint is due to Dr. Dubu1sson, the famous brain physi- clan.
 @ The doctors Investigations have re suited in the establishment of two facts: First, that women as delin- quents are in an enormous majority and, second, that the offence itself is consequent upon a curious condition Of the mind. 1t is stated that more 4aan 50 per cent of kleptomaniacs are of the female sex. In nine cases out of ten the offenders have been proved to be quite well to do, and not infre- quently wealthy. 1t would have been easy for them to have purchased and paid for the things stolen. Which pre- sents another problem. Why should those who are rich stoop to robbery The goods purloined are generally found uninjured, undisposed of, and often actually unused
 Let us, however, look into the cause Of the disease as described by Dr Du- bu1sson In the first place, the phy- sician is to be felicitated upon a cIev- CT epigram. Lady kleptomaniacs are women without hearts who dupe men without heads," a smart saying which contains more light philosophy than literal truth. Z. Y &I N
 A man can scarcely be called a fool because the pockets of his Ia %o structed as to prevent the entrance of a felonious hand. But the doctor can afford to have his epigram cheapened for he founds his deductions upon a thorough understanding of the char acter of the "'eternal feminine" The cause of kleptomania arises less from the individuals morbidity of temper ament than from the alluring array of every description of dainty and fash ionable attire abundantly displayed on the many counters of all mammoLn shops.
 The grand magazin' is chef d'oeuvre of deliberate temptation tending to the seduction of the least susceptible. The finery everywhere around her arouses all her coquettish ambition and stimulates all her crav- ings for comfort. Not only may she gaze on this gorgeousness, but she is permitted to handle the pretty things unhindered, unobserved. What more easy than to pop into one's parasol or pocket some small object of valuef From the innumerable articles of a similar kind in stock fit never would be missed'-as the average kleptonaa- niac would argue.
 The only remedy lies, of course, in arranging shop fronts and showrooms with severity that would satisfy the disciples of William Penn and in for bidding people to -Anger the wares. But the cure would be worse than the complaint. It would bring rapidly dwindling profits, diminution of patronage and bankruptcy to hun dreds of business houses.-Chicago Tribune.
