UGANDEsE UP TO DATE.
Are Acquiring Taste for Clothes. Ri
cycles and French Books.

London Dee. 23.--The natives Of
Uganda are beginning to show de-
cided liking for European clothing
SO says Lieutenant Colonel Hayes
Sadler In his report on the Uganda
protectorate which he Is leaving to
succeed the late Sir Donald stewart as
high commissioner of British East
Africa.
Col. Sadler regrets, however. that as
yet the untut0red Ugandese prefer
American goods to British and Ger
man beer to Bass. Their great weak
ness is for Americana" an unbleach-
ed calico made in the United States.
This article accounts for 81 per cent
of the total imports Of cotton goods.
Up to date natives are also taking
to cycling; and the members of the
best sets are cultlvating taste for
soap and scents
French novels and cigarettes are
also demanded by the really smart
people, and French books to the val
ue OF s9,6l5 were imported last year.

JEWISH ATROCITIES ARE
INCREDIBLY HORRIBLE

New Haven. Conn. Dec. pa de-
scription of mob horrors in Russia is
contained in a letter just received by
Mr.. Max Mandell. of this city, from a
friend in Ekaterinoslav. 1t is dated
November 10, the letter says in part
I'VE were saved by the kindness of a
Christian friend who gave us place
to hide in and kept watch for us him
self. He took us to his stable, where
we remained with our two little ones
for three days without morse of
food or a drop of water. but with a
horrible death staring us in the face
every moment of the time.
MANY have lost their lives In ad-
dition to similar sufferings. and still
more remained cripples for life with
no means of support. Others were
compelled to witness the brutal dis
membering of their dear ones before
they were killed themselves. My clerk
told me that he saw how the mob
overlook a helpless Jewish woman,
who apparently had run to place of
safety carrying a child with her in
her arms. The beasts wrenched the
infant out of its mothers arms and
dismembered it, holding out every part
to her face. and then forced the hys-
terica mother into shame which kill
ed her"

convocation of the Finnish Diet,
marking simultaneously the restora-
tion of Finnish liberties and the last
appearance on the European stage OF

old world ceremonial was followed.
Heralds made their appearance In the
street summoning the estates to the
magnificent cathedral. where amid
gorgeous trappings. prayers were said
and "Te Deum" was chanted in the
Swedish and Finnish tongues.
Then the estates. headed by Cover
nor General Gerhard and his suites in
brilliant uniforms, marched in an inn
posing procession between cheering
crowds to the palace overlooking the
sea. There. standing in front of the
gilded throne, surmounted with the
golden lion of Finland and double
headed eagle of Russia, the governor
general in the name of his imperial
master gave back the ancient liber-
ties to the hardy race of the north.
whose brave struggle against the
classification of their country has at
tracted the sympathy of the world
The audience at the palace contained
many persons who had suffered in cX-

Chicago, Dec. 23.--On the decision

which is believed to show direct vi
olation of the federal banking stat

District Attorney Morrison made

which Ridgely has carried to Wash

PearSons Enjoys the Joke.
The only jocular note heard thus
far concerning the Walsh failure
comes from d X Pearsons, philan-
thropist and stakeholder in the Chica-
go National bank Pearsons' enjoy
ment of what he calls "Walsh's de-
cline and fall off. is due to his un-
shaken belief that the new directorate
will bring both depositors and stock
holders through without loss That
much conceded. the college benefac-
tor takes the position that his $4S,-
GOO, tied up in 1872 shares, entities him
TO whatever humor he can find in the
situation. Said Pearsons:
"John r. Walsh was a mighty smart
man, but no banker. Friend John GER
tainly has mixed things up. He was
altogether too sanguinc to make a
good banker and now he Is reaping
the result
"Of course. would not be talking
like this if / did not believe that ev-
erybody would come out Of il UNI
sathed. People can say what they
have mind to, but /, who have
known John r. Walsh for forty-iive
years. know that he is an honest man
and that his investments ultimately
will pan out all right
Let us take things coolly and go
slow. At any rate, that is going to be
my motto, notwithstanding the liabtl-
ity entailed in my 1872 shares, That
committee of Chicago bankers is do
ing a magnificent piece of work, and
the fact that II has undertaken to
straighten out Johns affairs supports
my belief that genuine and sufficient
assets are there"
