10 Per CENT RAISE
All the, Officerssto Sharesssiin the
Recently Announced IncreaseW
of the Western Union. IN 4

The following telegram was received
from Superintendent Maxwell, of the
Western Union, at Richmond, Va, to-
day:
This company has received petit
ions within the last sixty days from
sixteen offices in the west and south
west, asking for an increase of ten per
cent in the salary of employees.
"These petitions have beens given
careful consideration, bearing in mind
that the company could not discrimi-
nate in favor Of a few offices, but that
any action taken should be general.
SIN this connecticut it has been neces-
sary to consider the enormously in
creased cost of all kinds of telegraph
material, which in many cases has been
from fifty to one hundred per cent,
while the tariff rates on messages and
demands of the public for increased fa-
~cilities and more rapid service. In fact,
many of these rates are relics of former
ruinous competition, and are unprofit-
able.
Notwithstanding these facts the COM
pany has decided to increase the salaries
of operators and at all Of its
independent offices throughout the
country ten per cen from March 1,19O7.
This applies to all managers, chief
operators, traffic chiefs, general chiefs
and operators in the company's indie
pendent Offices

BURNING IN EFFiGY.

A Custom Born Of the Superstition
of the Ancients.
The burning of people in ef1gy has
come from a foolish superstition Of the
ancients, who believed that by burn
ing a likeness Of a person they were
inficting pain upon the individual him
self. Theocritus tells US that the Greek
sorcerers killed their enemies by magic
rites performed over the efigy Of the
person who had offended them, and
Virgil also makes mention of this.
In the days of witchcraft and perse-
cution one of the most common charges
against witches was that they made
waxen images Of their enemies which
they melted before a fire and thus
caused the dissolution Of the originals.
The Japanese still regard the efagy
as a means Of punishment of fatthless
lovers, and in France to the time of
he first revolution execution by efigy
was a legal rite. In the Netherlands
the same Illogical custom prevailed,
and the different religions burned the
efigies of each others leaders with
zeal. In England the burning Of ef-
fgies was also practiced, as it was
later in America.
No doubt from the ancient custom Of
burning the efigy arose the idea Of
placing the wax figures OF eminent men
In Westminster abbey. In olden times
upon the death of a celebrity a waxen
figure representing him fully dressed
as in life was made and carried in the
rear Of the funeral procession. After
hes service the ef1gy was set up in the
church as a temporary monument, and
during the time it was on exhibition it
was customary to paste or pin pieces
Of paper containing complimentary
epitaphs upon it. The royal figures In
Westminster abbey date back to the
fourteenth century.-New York Trib-

Stanley the Explorer.

Although the fever Of African ex-
ploration did not seize upon Henry M.
Stanley until after he found Living
stone, when the example set by the
latter fired the Welshman's ambitions,
there can be little doubt hat Stanley
was a born explorer. Otherwise he
would scarcely have been able to &C
complish those arduous journeys which
enabled him to fill up an enormous
blank in the map Of Africa. Stanley's
discoveries were Of the greatest po-
litical Importance and led to the found
ing, among other things, of what is
now the Kongo Free State. His ulti-
mate discovery Of Emin Pasha furnish
ed a magnificent Illustration Of Stan
ley's indomitable courage and perse-
verance.-London Mail.

REED SMOOT KEEPS SEAT.
Simmons and OVermdn and Other
SOuthernerS Vote Against
the Mormon,

Washington, D. c., Feb. 20.-By a
decided that Reed Smoot, Of Utah, was
entitled to a seat in that body. Q Thus
did the expected happen, as it had been
evident for many weeks that inSthe
absence ofevidence showing that Smoot
was a polygamist, the Apostle !of the
Mormon Church would be permitted to
Congress.
Both of the North Carolina..Senators
voted against the Mormon. Senator
Overman, who is a member of the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections,
which heard all of the testimony rela-
tive to Shoots unitness to live up to
his oath, took the position that expul-
sion is the legal method Of getting rid of
the Utah Senator. %..This would have re-
quired a two-thirds vote.
Senator Simmons also took the ground
that Smoot is unworthy Of a seat in the
Senate, but was of the opinion that he
could be excluded, which procedure
would have only required a majority
vote.
1t is somewhat painful to chronicle
the fact, but there is no doubt that the
loyalty of the Mormon Church to the
Republican party is responsible for the
decision of the Senate, that Mr.. Smoot
is to continue as a Senator. There is a
hard and fast agreement between lead
ers of the G. o. P. and the church and
this very situation lined up a majority
Of the Senate in favor of the Utah Sena-
or. Had the Democratic nominees for
Congress in Utah been elected last fall,
the story would have been a different
one today.

THE REAL CHINESE o N
1t Makes an Uproar as Awful as 1t Is
AstOnishinx.

1t Makes an UprOar as Awful as 1t Is
Astonishing.
By the way, did you ever hear a real
Chinese gong? I don't mean a hotel
gong, but M Of those great moo
disks Of yellow metal which have 50
terrible a power of u~tterance.
A gentleman in Bangor, north Wales,
who had a private museum of south
Pacific and Chinese curiosities, exhibit
ed one to me. 1t was hanging amid
Fiji spears beautifully barbed with
sharks teeth, which, together with
grotesque New Zealand clubs Of green
stone and Sandwich Island paddles
wrought with the baroQue visages of
the shark god, were depending from
the walls; also there were Indian ele-
plants in ivory, carrying balls in their
carven bellies, each ball containing
many other balls inside it.
The gong glimmered pale and huge
and yellow, like the moon rising over a
southern swamp. My friend tapped
its ancient face with a muf1ed drum
stick, and it commenced to sob like
waves upon a low beach. He tapped it
again, and it moaned like the wind in
a mighty forest Of pines. Again, and it
commenced to roar, and with each tap
the roar grew deeper and deeper till 1t
seemed like thunder rolling over an
abyss in the Cordilleras or the crash
ing Of Thor's chariot wheels.
It was awful and astonishing as aw-
full. I assure you I did not laugh at it
at all. 1t impressed me as something
terrible and mysterious. 1 vainly
sought to understand how hat thin
disk Of trembling metal could pro-
duce so frightful a vibration. He in
formed me that it was very expensive,
being chiefly made Of the most precious
metals, silver and gold.-From Life
and Letters Of Lafcadlo Hearn."
