"UNWRITTEN LAW" TURNED
DOWN IN MACON.

ne "unwrltten law is not
recognized in Macon, Ga.
Recently in that city Dennis
Strong, a peaceable citizen of
acknowledged good reputation,
became aware that Henry d.
Smith had dishonored and de-
serted g his (Strong's) sister.
There being in Georgia, appar-
emily, no law by which the
wronged girl could have her
grlevous injuries redressed, it
being impossible to punish in
any way the perpetrator, not
even to mulct him in any pecu-
mary damages, but enjoying en-
tire IMMUNITY and virtually up
held in his wickedness by the
law, there was no other manner
in which such an outrage could
be reached or resented save by
personal encounter. There
being no other recourse, Strong
adopted that and shot and killed
the destroyer of his sister.
Strong was promptly arrested
tried and convicted and sent to
the Penitentiary tor a term of
years. The Macon Telegraph,
rejoicing that the slayer had been
punished and the law indicated
says:
"The Court and the Jury
have served notice on whomso-
ever may be concerned that
citizen cannot be shot down like
a dog, without hearing, in the
streets of Macon with impunity.
He cannot with safety take the
law in his own hands and consti-
tute himselfjudge, jury and exc
cutioner upon his fellow mortal.
"Agaln we say, it is well.
1.-THE law of the State is simply
the expressed will of a majority of
its people. If the majority of the
peahet decree that the seducer
shall be punished with death, then
let the State embody that will in its
statutes and every man be put on
notice."
1t is not to be believed that
what is described by the Telegraph
to be the prevailing tone and tenn
per of the people of Macon to-
wards the seducers and traducers
of women is the rule and general
Of the men of the bal
ance Of the great State of Georgia
on the subject. But if so, law
ought to be made requiring that
outrages upon the weaker sex
should be paid for at some assesst d
value. If in that great
State any ignorant and innocent
young female may be criminally
iealt with by any villain who may
50 choose with entire impunity so
'4r DIS the law goes, and that her
4atural protector, who may vio-
emily resent the outrage, becomes
,y such act a felon, then such
civilization is worse than savagely
where the natural right of such
protection is fully recognized.
But of course public sentiment
n Macon, as described by the
Telegraph, mnst be a remarkable
and is not found else
where in grand old Georgia.

INFANTRY ON THE MARCH.

Length of Pace and Speed in the
Armies of the World.
The average rate of march of the
armies of to-day so far as drill is con-
cerned, Is about 100 PAGES minute, or
about two steps second. However,
there are some small differences In the
different arms, and a few troops are
trained to march at much higher rate
of speed
The Russian soldier takes liz to 118
steps minute, the German ia, the
Austrian 115, the French, Italian and
United States 120. The French chas-
seurs, however, make 145 and the Ital-
ian Bersagliere $50.
The length of the pace should, of
course, also be considered. The Rus
sian pace Is % inches, the Austrian
291a, the French and italian 80, while
the German is S11S and therefore sur.
passes all others,
The Russian soldier can therefore
cover In one minute from TIL to 9O.2

and italian 9S,4, while the German Gov.

OF utilizing cover, rapidly moving over
short intervals from cover to cover,
climbing over hedges and other ohstruc.

the small and agile Japanese and the
tall, robust Russians.
Marching power comes into play in

The Power Diyine.

Whatever the trial or difficulty that
may beset and hamper the christian
life, there Is little doubt that to con-
slider the will power as divine instead
of human would mean added strength,
surer victory and stronger character.
II each one believed he possesses a
spark of divine will entrusted to him
by the great Master, and as fast as he
uses this bit entrusted to him, he may
draw on the never-dlminishlng supply
for more, would we not find ourselves
relying on something so much stronger
than the weak, human will that we
could go out "conquering and to con
IQuer?"
1t is only by meeting all temptations
and overcoming them that we learn
the lessons of life. Maybe not all on
this plane Of existence. Maybe some
things are not temptations to us that
are so to others. Perhaps In forgot
ten experiences we have overcome
them. The things we are fighting to,
day, IL We overcome them before the
night comes, will be put as far from us
as the east Is from the west, and we
will have time in ''the eternal years, "
we will have energy and strength to
learn new lessons

CANADA's USE OF NIAGARA.
Government Completes with Private
Power Companies.

Government Completes with Private
Power Companies.
The development of the hydraulic
power Of Niagara on the Canadian side
is leading to some interesting Sc
quences, says Casters Magazine.
A tribunal called the Hydro Electric
Power Commission has been created,
and in the hands Of this body has been
placed the entire domestic regulation
of the power product Of stations COM
ing within government control.
In addition there has been given to
the various municipalities the right to
undertake the distribution of electrical
energy within their respective limits.
In order that the commission may be
in position to dictate terms to the ex-
listing private companies 1t Is important
that the cooperation Of the municipal
tiles be obtained, and this appears to be
partially accomplished.
The city of Toronto has already ar
ranged for $4,000 horsepower OF cleo
trio energy from Niagara the price be-
Ing $14 to SIG per horsepower for a
supply for a 24-hour day, including
transmission to Toronto, the local dis
tribution to be in the hands of the mu.
nicipality, and 1t Is believed that a
number of other cities and towns VII.
make similar arrangements.
These agreements are made with the
Hydro Electric Power Commission, and
1t in turn must either secure the power
supply from the existing private COM
panies or else proceed to develop Its
own stations.
1t is hardly probable that the latter
alternative will be found necessary,
since the result would be to leave the
private corporations with the greater
part of their prospective custom per-
manently taken away, so that the real
consequence of the recent legislation is
to compel the companies to supply the
municipalities through the commission
at prices determined by the engineers
of the new body.
1t is possible that such measures will
prove advantageous to the public, but
much will depend upon the manner in
which the law is carried out. 1t has
been intlmated that this legislation will
render 1t exceedingly difficult for pro-
moters to induce outside capital to en-
gage In the development of natural re-
sources In Canada hereafter.

The reason for this Is simple. Just
behind the mouthpiece Is an alumini-
um diaphragm backed with very thin

tact Of the wires Is space filled with
finely powdered carbon.
The sound waves of the voice make,
the aluminium diaphragm vibrate and

The electrical current that is pass

Clipping words, which is sometimes
