JUDGE PARKER ON THE
RECONSTRUCTION PERIOD.

Commenting upon that portion Of
Eon. Alton B. Parker's speech, at the
Jeffersonian banquet in New York re-
Gently, which referred to the days of
reconstruction, the New Orleans
States says:
The people of this section of the
country have noted with pleasure the
courageous manner in which Judge
Alton B. Parker denounced those
politicians of the North who were re-
sponsible for the horrors and crimes
inflicted on the South during the peri
Cd of reconstruction. 1t is pleasing to
the people of the South that the hide
Gus injustice and outrages of which
they were the victims have at last
been condemned by a Northern man
in the North. Judge Parker was gull
.-ty of no exaggeration when he sa,d
that the era OF so-called reconstruction
was "the foulest of all days in our ma
tional life" 1t is evident that he has
stuGfed that chapter of the country'S
history and reflected deeply on it, for
he declares:
Nothing in all the recorded history
of mankind has been more pathe.ic
more heroic, more deserving of admir-
alton and sympathy than the attitude
of the South since 1865. AS fate
would have II their defeat in war was
the smallest of their woes, because, it
could neither threaten nor bring dis
honor. But the new contest-with
partisan rancor, with military power.
with theft and robbery, with poverty
and the enforced domination OF a race
lately In slavery-forced, as it was,
without time for recovery, and tEat.
too In their own homes, required a
courage little less than superhuman.
II is not surprising that the memory
of the injustice, humiliation and out
rage endured in the long and bitter
DAYS to which Judge Parker referred
in his speech on the anniversary or
Thomas Jefferson's birthday should
cause the South to distrust the repub-
lican party and stand against II to-
day What the South has achieved
since II arose out of the dust INTO
which 1t was crushed forty years ago.
with nothing left to it save the indoas-
stable spirit of the Anglo-Saxon, has
heen the marvel of the world. Inc
North understands now, however, the
tremendous difficulties which the
South had to overcome, dihcultles
that would have caused other people
to abandon hope, and it leads TO an
understanding of what the South Is
destined to become in the near future,
now that it is firmly on its feet ana

WOMAN sTALKED BY LIONS.
An Adventure With Six of the Big
Brutes in East Africa.
From Blackwood's Magazine.

. =
Mrs. l.. Hinde, whose husband is sub
commissioner of the British East Africa

perience of being stalked by lions, and the
still more remarkable fortune of living to
tell the tale 1t was on the Uganda railway,
in a spot historic for the ravages of man.
eating lions, that Mrs. Hinde met with the
thrilling adventure which she relates.
Camping out, the party in which Mrs.
Hinde was could hear with horrid regularity
the screams of the wretched victims as
they were carried off for the man eater
nightly repasts.
The camp was seventy miles from the
nearest connecting link with the outside
up daily by native mail runners. 1t was
the habit of the lions to keep pace in the
long grass with the runners on the track,
and, having selected the most appetizing
member of the party. to pounce upon him
and carry him off into the bush.
On one occasion, when out mapmalSing
Mr.. and Mrs. Hinde came upon party Of
a dozen lions, possibly the man-eating
troop. Mr.. Hinde fred twice. dropping two
of the beasts. He then suggested that Mrs
Hinde should ride back to camp while he
approached the two lions, who might be
dangerous, even though mortally hit.
After riding for half an hour Mrs Hfude
looked back and saw six of the lions fol-
lowing her. The two native gun-bearers
ran away, leaving her unarmed. alone with
her sails. an hour from camp.
She set OFF at fast gallop, the sails run
ming by her side. In their path arose an
angry rhinoceros, which fed from them on
to the lions.
Mrs. Hinde reached camp In safety. while
Mr.. Hinde was held up by the rhinoceros,
on which he did not venture to fire for fear
of turning 1t on Mrs. Hinde.

ENGLIsHMEN IN DUELs.
Famous Men Who Fought With Swords
or Pistols

From the London Express.
The Earl of Kimberley's much discussed
challenge to Col. SapweIl is a reminder
that, though the days of dueling are con-
sidered to have passed in England, the
fighting spirit will still break out on oc-
casions.
Not so very long ago Mr.. Winston
Churchill was challenged to an encounter
a routrance by an frate constituent at
Oldham. One rhesitates to think what
would have happened had Mr.. Churchill
had leisure enough to resume his martial
role.
Lord Beaconsfield once challenged OCon-
nell to duel, but the famous statesman
found himself bound over to keep the
peace in a police court instead of depart
ing across the channel to blow out the
brains of his political opponent.
OConnell himself fought duel with a
member Of the Irish house of commons
named D'Esterre and killed his opponent.
Another fatal duel was that in which
Lord Camelford. one of the most confirmed
duelists of his day and a man who had
the death of more than one fellow-creature
on his hands. was killed by Mr.. Best. Both
were excellent shots, and one of the Two
pistols used was supposed to be slightly
more perfect than the other. A piece or
money was tossed up to decide the choice.
Best won, and in the result Lord Camel
ford fell mortally wounded.
The last duel fought in ireland was be-
tween a mayor of Sligo and member OF
the legal profession, but honors were de-
clared easy, for nothing happened.
Mr.. Tierney charged Pitt with "obstruc--
ing the defenses of the country, and that
oratorical observation sounded SO terrible
in the ears of the eminent statesman that
he sent his seconds to Mr.. Tterney.
The two met at O'Clock one Sunday
morning at Putney Heath, not FAR from
the Kingston road, fired two shots at eacn
other and then returned home quite wen
for breakfast
Charles James Fox, Pitts brilliant rival
took occasion to make some scathing op-
servations on the powder supplied by me

THE AMERICAN SCRAP HEAP.
Our Discarded Cars, Locomotives and
Machines.

From the Newark IN. j. News.
One of the most significant of recent
statements is made by the Pennsylvania
railroad that it Is about to send 1900
freight cars, though in serviceable condi-
ton, to the scrap heap as fast as practi-
cable, or else sell them to the minor roads,
where the highest efficiency is less needfui.
These will be replaced by cars made or
pressed steel and of the most advanced
type in perfection of equipment. Nor have
there been lacking eloquent indications on
the part OF our other big railroads of a
similar lavish, yet really economical, pol
Icy toward perfecting equipment. both
of fixed plant and rolling stock.
yet-the Importance of the overlooking
scrap heap in all American industrial
processes has been markworthy fact for
a good while. For the last thirty years,
at least, our manufacturers in every line
of production have recognized the trues.

latest improvements in mechanism. me
old, however good, has at once given place
to something better and the expense of
substitution has in practice been quickly
recouped by greater effectiveness IN guam

reduction of labor cost per piece. Inc pol

other hand, that of retaining the iocomo-

making repairs when necessary, which has

manufacturing methods the ascendancy

RELIEF FOR cAsTAwAYs.
New Zealand Establishes Supply De-
pots on Uninhabited Islands.

From the New York Sun.
The French bark Anjou was wrecked on
one of the Auckland Islands, 200 miles
south of New Zealand, eight months ago.
The crew lived for a week solely on the
fish they caught. and the outlook was dark.
Then one day two of the men found near
the shore depot of supplies, containing
variety of food and sufficient clothing to
last the company for at least a year.
Great was the Joy of the castaway crew,
for they were in sore straits when they.
discovered the benevolent provision that
had been made for shipwrecked sailors. A
few weeks later the castaways hailed a
passing vessel, and in few months they
were home in France again.
The New Zealand government had estab-
lished this supply depot. 1t proved so SER
yIceable to this party of unfortunates that
the government has since placed similar
depots on all the island groups south and
southeast of New Zealand, and also on the
Kermadecs. to the northeast.
The government wants it known that the
supplies await any sailors that are cast
away on these volcanic rocks. Six depots
have been established
The islands are in the track of the pre-
vailing westerly winds. and on or near the
favorite route of sailing vessels travelling
east from Australia to the Atlantic. None
of them has been occupied by permanent
residents. though they have occasionally
been places of temporary sojourn for VS.
itors, shipwrecked crews and whalers.
Auckland and Campbell islands We're oc-
cupied by French and German astronomical
parties in 1874 to observe the transit of
Venus. The Antipodes Islands are almost
inaccessible and scarcely deserve their
name.
The man who discovered them thought
they were the actual antipodes of the spot
occupied by Greenwich observatory, but 1t
has since been discovered that they are the
antipodes of Barfleur point, on the north
coast of France. about 100 miles southwest
Of the observatory Of Greenwich. The Brit
ish have long maintained supply depot
for castaways at Sunday Island, in the
Kermadecs, and the New Zealanders have
now established another depot on Curtis
Island, in this group Depots have also
been placed on the Bounty Islands and
Shares Island.
Here and there along the coasts the gov
ernment has erected posts with fingers In
dicating the direction of the depots. It is
hoped that no other castaways viii have to
live for week on one of these islands
without knowing that relief has been pro-
vided for them.

The sense of true economy finds in the
continually growing scrap heap one OF the
most striking factors to this end.
