The student was in a wretched

bloodshot and dull. He looked III; he
looked wreck, and it was easy to see

Fatali.m among the welsh.


An epidemic of scarlet fever which is
raging at Goginan, near Aberystwyth.
Wales, owes much Of its virulence to
the spirit of fatalism which prevails
among the Welsh
The people believe that If they are
fated to catch the fever no precaution
will save them from it and that, on the
other hand. they. can come in contact
with 1t with impunity If it Is not their
fate to be infected.
This spirit Of fatalism is shown by
the Welsh custom of holding "wylno-
sau." or prayer meetings. at the house
Of q dead person.
The friends of the dead crowd into
the house and remain for an hour or
two regardless Of the cause of death.
At the end Of the service they march
In procession around the coffin to take
q last look.
Although ministers of religion and
members Of public bodies have uttered
vehement protests. the custom Of the
ylnosauv continues to flourish. and
Ia more than one instance it has been
proved to be directly responsible for
the spread of the Infection London
Express.

a dispute with MIR Domlnick, a mer-

lowed, Mr.. Do1rnnck was beaten by
Bird, against whom there was filed a
warrant for assault. When near Bird S

gate while McKivey and young Martin
advanced and called to Bird to come

this call, and as he opened the door of

men named Mckivey, who was clerk
of Dominck, was shot in the eyes, and
young Martin received a shot near the
left eye which fortunately is not serious.
1t is feared that McKivey will lose his
sight altogether. He is at the Santa
rum under treatment
After Bird had fired, the party of
FIVE dispersed and left Mckivey and
Martin on the field. McKvey was help
less. Martin, however, fired into the
house until he had exhausted his am
munition When the party Of five re-
turned and related what had occurred
people from Mira and Rodessa and the
vicinity were summoned but when they
reached Birds house Bird had skipped
and eluded his pursuers by crossing into
Arkansas. Before leaving his house.
Bird went on the outside where he saw
Mckivey who had crawlei there for
shelter. He was almost frozen. Bird
threatened to blow out his brains and
left him after kicking him several times.
Bird is said to be daring and fearless
negro. He was we'll armed and deter
mined on resistance to the death when
he left his home.
AS soon as the sl1eriiff's office was ap-
prised of the trouble, Deputy Nicholson
hurried to the scene, but he was too late
to secure Bird There was no undue ex-
citement nor threats or attempts at
lynchings as reported, as there was no

The Big City Is Being Rebuilt ~
Rapidly as New York.
London is being rebuilt as rapidly as
New York, but it is SO much vaster
than the American city that the process
is less conspicuous. Nothing Is being
done today that stands out SO promi-
nently as the great bridges over the
East river. nor is there any analogue
in London to the irruption of hotels
and office buildings above the normal
sky line in New York. the nearest ap-

come the proposed Improvement of
the port and its control by single

continue to lose ground. royal com

must be widened to from 600 to 1000
feet and deepened to thirty feet at low

Improvement is $12,500.0OO and new

and February 1. The call is as follows
| To All Opponents of the Liquor Traf-
fic in Louisiaraa-A Call for Action
One of the natured convictions of all
patriots, thinking people is that the hour

engage in a death grapple with earth, 5
matchless evil, the liquor traffic
The constant Entertainments OF this
growing, soulless octopus upon every de-
partment of our public life-1egislative,
judicial and executiye-its persistent
blindness to the blood, degeneration,
crime and death which are the innme-
diate, manifest and horrid fruits Of the
trahic's existence, constitute the most
appalling signs Of our times.
Moreover, that the government itself
should be directly engaged in this u1l-
| speakably disgraceful business is cause
for a growing restlessness, dissatisfac-
ton and alarm ON the part of all pa
triotic citizenss. The people can not UNI
derstand why civilized government

A great American publicist has said
that one of the objects of government is
to make the doing Of right, on the part
Of the governed, as easy as possible, and
the doing of wrong as difficult as pos
sible. The licensing of this crime re-
verses all this, in that it makes the COM
