The Scarlet Death.

The following remarkable descrip-
tion of the rites of the Society Of
the Scarlet Death" is quoted from the
"Ural" by Laffans St Petersburg
correspondent, who states that the
votaries of the strange society are
located near the Sayodsk Lake, and
that the exposure has been made in
consequence of the disappearance of
one of the citizens.
The Scarlet Death is surrounded
with much circumstance In the
house designed for the sacrifice therA
is a room in which there is neither
window nor fireplace. 1t is a grave
without tenant The room is lined
with scarlet material but one OF the
walls is covered with black cloth.
The floor is covered with scarlet.
Two cushions are placed in the mid
die OF the floor
The victim is then led in. and his

cushions. Then all the attendants

comes from behind the black cloth.
She slowly approaches. takes the Sec
ond cushion and places it over the
face of the reeumbent figure. Then
she sits upon the cushion and does
not rise till the condemned one has
ceased TO show signs of life,
What leads up to the sacrifice is
yariously explained by the local in
habitsnts- Some say that It is to eS-
pedlte the progress of the sacrificed
to paradise; and others hold that it
is a punishment for the commission

Grandfather Chase was walking
in the garden one fine day when
Fred came home from school, aftes
he had been going there for few
weeks.
'Well, dear" said grandfather,
Il suppose you are getting to be
famous scholar. You can spell al
most anything now, can't you?"
Yes, sir, most anything" an
swered the little boy, who seemed
to think that his words of two and
three letters were about all there
were in the world.
well, can you spell 'rat?'
asked grandfather.
"Oh, yes, sir Rat. rat"
Very well. indeed, my dear. Now
can you spell mousse
Fred looked a little puzzled,
thought it over in his mind, and then
said, "No, sir, don't believe | can
spell mouse
What, can't you spell little bit
of mouse? You can spell a great
big rat and can't spell little
mouse,"
The child wrinkled his forehead
and tried to guess; but, finding he
couldn't. he looked up into his
grandfather's face anG said, Il know
l can spell rat. but l can't spell
mousse for I guess a spelt mouse
is a great deal bigger than a spelt
rat. Every Other Sunday.

SUES FOR
A DIVORCE.
Formerly Anna Could Seeks Divorce
From Count Boni.

All hope Of reconciliation between
Countess Anna Gould de CastelIane, the
American wife Of Count Bonide Castel-
lane, and her nobleman husband seems
doomed says Paris dispatch of the
4th.
The countess has instituted legal pro-
ceedings for a separation from the
count.
Count Boni, who first renamed in his
home, while his wife left to live in the
Hotel Bristol, has gone to the de Cas-
tellane estate, In the south of France,
thus giving up the Paris residence again
to the possession of the countess. She
is there now in temporary charge of
the children.
The countess has put her case in the
hands of an American lawyer, who has
instructed Maitre Cruppi, the most no
ted divorce lawyer in France, to begin
the proceedings before the court. The
trouble between the count and count
ess, which has been brewing FOR sew
eral years, came to = head this week.
The countess learned that Count Boni
was paying attentions TO noted society
woman who Is married. The countess
accused Boni of paying such attentions
and created violent scene. She de-
clared that she had often forgiven the
count for misdeeds, but this time she
would demand legal separation imme-
diately unless he broke with the woman.
The count, rather than imperil his
claim to the Gould millions, consented
to renounce his acquaintance with tho
woman, but the countess learned OF
another visit paid TO her rival, and at
once left her husband and their home
and went to the Hotel Bristol for the
purpose Of establishing her legal resi-
dence there,
Count Boni, rather than have his wife
remain In the hotel, returned to the de
Castellane in southern France, which he
represents in the chamber of deputies,
where he has remained on the pretext
Of electionering for the approaching
parliamentary elections, In order to
avoid unnecessary scenes, thus allowing
Countess Anna to return to their resi-
dence.
While the facts as to the rupture be-
tween the count and countess are well
known in upper circles and In the Amer
lean colony and among the French aris-
tocracy, an attempt has been made to
suppress them in the Castellane resi-.
dence
The members Of Count Castellane's
family are doing their utmost 70 effect
a reconciliation, and have asked the
countess to forgive her husbands esca-
pades.

Little Deeds Of Kindness.

1t is fine gift to be quick and bright
in understanding things, But it is far
more important to be kind-hearted and
gentle. When you girls go out in the
world no one will ask or know whether
you got good grades in algebra or Latin
If you have done your best, it is wrought
into you whether your best is very good
or only mediocre, But be sure Of this,
everyone who meets you will know
without putting you through an exami-
nation whether you are a gentewoman
or not, 1t isn't practical to quo e
Greek or discuss psychology or read
Shakespeare with every one you meet,
but you can always speak kindly and
listen courteously, and quietly look out
for the opportunity to do little deeds of
kindness that make our lives so much
more worth living. -2Oth Century Re-
view.

CANDLES IN
CRIMINAL COURT
Solicitor Geo. p. Raney, Jr., and Col.
II. 5. Hampton Have Tilt.

A decidedly interesting session of
criminal court marked by a lively tilt
between Solicitor George P. Raney, Jr,
and Col. Fl. S. Hampton on the gamb-
ling question, was held in the Office of
the Clerk of Court, M. F. Mckay, at
Tampa Monday morning, being held
there on account of circuit court being
in session.
Principal among the cases were those
against the men arrested at the instiga-
ton Of Solicitor Raney after the raid
on the Southern hotel, in which consid-
cradle paraphernalia was secured but
no arrests resulted. All parties arrest
ed entered pleas of guilty, being repre-
sented by Colonel Hampton, who plead
for the mercy of the court, stating that
the defendants had all ceased gambling
entirely. Solicitor Raney claimed that
some of the defendants had engaged in
gambling in the same room since they
had been arrested, and was replied to
by Col. Hampton for making a speech
against men who had entered pleas of
guilty. This brought on lively argu-
nnent.
Solicitor Raney deliyered an emphatic
and vigorous address in regard to the
AAApOA SfAhA HaSokiOAA ub loOhCt 0WClllAlB
upon the fact that Judge Gordon had It
in his power to put an end to gambling
operations in Tampa. I'VE have ex-
hausted all our resources in the effort
to put an end to gambling" he said,
land the men who have conducted
gambling houses in the city have now
entered pleas of guilty. The court has
the power to either assess these men a
nominal fine, to sentence them to one
day Of imprisonment, or to three years,
which will end gambling in the future"
Judge Gordon withheld his decision
until Monday. A number of ministers
including DR.. j. G. Anderson and Rev.
W. j. Carpenter, were present, and
much interest was manifested in the
gambling cases, in which the following
plead guilty to gambling: w. G.
Lynch, Felix Para, Jasper Williams,
John Nelson, D. W. Cockrell, E. G. IT.
win, j. w. Uncles and c. B, Dunning,

THE GOVERNOR
AND INSURANCE
A Fight for Honest MANAGEMENT Of
Insurance.

With two packing cases filled with
proxies made out in the name Of Thomas
w. Lawson by policy holders in the
Equitable Life Association Society, the
New York Life Insurance Company
and the Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany, of New York. Mr.. Lawson
reached Des Moines, Ia, February 9th.
The proxies are claimed by Mr.. Law
son TO be sufficient in number to give
control Of the three insurance compan-
les named, and It Is his intention to turn
them over to a committee of Govern
ors of the various states who were in
attendance at the convention in Chi
cago last Saturday of the insurance
commissioners of most of the states in
the Union.
Mr. Lawson started a campaign some
time ago to secure these proxies, and he
has had large corps of Office clerks
busy for months acknowledging the re-
ceipt of them and classifying them. He
says his plan is, through voting these
proxies. to acquire control of the "big
three" and place in Office, through the
selection of the committee of Governors,
new sets of officers, with ideas Of man
agement different from those of the
present officers.
TO REDUCE PREMIUMS
Mr. Lawson says he can see no reason
why premiums on policies should not be
reduced one-half. Before leaving Bos-
ton Mr.. Lawson declined to give out the
number Of proxies in his possession, be-
yond saying that they carry control Of
the several companies.
The object of Mr.. Lawson's visit here
is conference with Gov. Cummins in
regard to the insurance investigation in
Iowa.
