A KIND EXAMINER.

The announcement yesterday or marriage between children Of the well known musicians sir John Stainer and Sir Joseph Parnby reminds a cores pendent of an anecdote about Sir John a.: professor of music at oxford. AS an examiner he was most considerate af.d would always do his best to get you through" l remember his asking me a poser in viva voce examination. He waited patiently for the answer but. partly through my nervousness nc doubt could not think of it. At length he exclaimed testify. Dear me, how stuffy this room is, to be sure.
 and he went and began tugging at the ventilator cord: it was quite two min utes before he got the thing open. and by the time he had sat down again and rearranged his gown l had the an- swer ready. Comparing notes later In the day with a man who was examined quite soon after me I told h.m how the ventilator had served me. How remarkable" he replied. Why. when I was stuck he said. How extraordin- ary draughty this place is and spent quite two minutes in shutting the ven- tilator. or."-Manchester Guardian.

MORE INDIANS WORKING.

Spring on the Pine Ridge Indian re- servation this year means great acti- witty among it's Indian residents, num- bering now about 1000 in all says Deadwood correspondent of the St Paul Dispatch. Much of the seasons work is well under way. and crops of corn. oats and potatoes. in addition to the garden truck will be raised While the land is essentially stock raising land. not being well adapted to farming on account of the dryness yet more interest is being taken yearly in the matter of farming and this year will see probably one-third more land under actual cultivation.
 The Indians also are giving inteIli- gent attention to the question of stock raising. So far their stock consists chiefly of cattle and horses. but it is noticeable that the latter are improv- ing much in quality. Instead of the tough little Indian ponies. inferior in ali other respects, the Indians are now buying good class of horses.
 Many of the Indians are engaged in the business of freighting from the railroad at Gordon to the reservation. and often as many as 30 or 70 teams may be passed on the road with SUD- plies for the agency. and driven by In- dian owners. For this class of work excellent horses are employed.

is given round. and all the other mem bers in the neighborhood flock to 1t with their custom: If one of the Ma fiosi, as they are called is putting up for an election the influence of the order Is set to work in every direction in his favor: If one commits a crime he may be let off because the judge and jury are his brothers; and not long since a man murdered another in the streets of Palermo and was caught the next moment, but he broke away from his captors and upon the instant the err of "Mafiosi!" was sent round and every possible impediment was put in the way of the pursuit. so that l. failed. and the man got free. Sub sequently the police discovered his whereabouts, but they dared not ar rest him for fear of the Mafia.
 It is not an easy thing to join the Mafia. and the tests as to whether a candidate Is fit for the fraternity and likely to be good member of it are very strict. He has to go through many probationary trials, but when at last the committee is satisfied that he is good candidate, he is duly initiat- ed. The candidate has then to go through terrible ceremony. First of all a cut is made in his body and a quantity of blood is drawn from it. and with this he smears an image of his favorite saint. and then sets the image on fire, immediately taking an oath in the following words: 'I swear on my honor to be faithful to the brotherhood. As this saint and the drops of my blood are destroyed. so will I shed all my blood I have for the fraternity; and as these ashes and this blood can never be restored to me. so can I never again become free from the brotherhood"
 Then the new initiate has to draw A revolver and shoot at a crucifix to show that he would be willing at any time to kill his nearest relation or most intimate friend. if commanded to do so. He is then a full member. and he is said to be a wearer of the .red mantle His name as a member is not entered in any books. but it is duIv forwarded to the headquarters. and then st- Is communicated by word of mouth to all the other members in the district where he lives These other members teach him all the other signs and customs of the fraternity which it Is necessary he should know. and he at once becomes an active mem- Der.

A PRINCES EDUCATION IN ENG
 ClSH.

Prince William of Sweden is about to visit America to improve his ac- quaintance with spoken English and perfect his accent. He might have chosen Oxford, where the tradition of speaking the ?urest English still >ob- tains and where the worlds greatest dictionary is now in course of publi- cation.
 But what are fossiliZed forms and stereotyped phrases to one who would learn live English. The prince more wisely comes to the true wellsprings CT the vernacular Here he will see English in the making-no smooth worn coin of classic speech. but new n.inted words which are passed out from the box office and the cashier $ desk in the lobster palace along with the crisp bank notes.
 What better schoolmastering in Eng fish as t IS spoken could he get than in the nation whose president stands foT a square deal and making good the land of the lemon and the cinch and the skidoo where the man who fails hooks a zero and joins the Down and out club, and the man who comes to violent death is bumped off? The land of grouch and graft, of the souse and the chesty cop. where brain storms make playhouse. little black men lure on to deeds of folly and lit- tlo bright eyes put the Indian sign on the infatuated?
 The prince will not lack competent instructors eager to put him wise. Will he learn American? Sure, It's a pipe The vocabulary which will make OK ford English look like thirty cents.

Neither the Naples Camorra. the Paris Apaches. nor the Black Hand of America is the most powerful and terrible secret society in the whole world. in spite of the narrowing de- tails of their ghastly work which I have given recently in ''P.

FoRAKER AND BROWNSVILLE.

In his address at Wilberforce uni versitv Senator Foraker made out very strong case for the negro sol diers of the twenty fifth infantry who President Roosevelt summarily dis missed from the service.
 To begin with, the soldiers did not have a fair hearing in their own be- half This injustice at least has been rectified by the senate committee Senator Foraker shows, however. that while sixty men. discharged without honor were carefully examined and cross examined. there was no testi- niony to prove that single cartridge was missing or a single gun dirty in the whole battalion
 After microscopic examination of shells picked up in the streets or Brownsville. army experts reported that these shells must have been fired cut of four certain rifles. But it was further shown. Senator Foraker re- calls. that on the night of the shoot ing one of these guns was locked up in an chest in the room of the quartermaster sergeant of the com pany: that the other three guns were
 
 one of them had been fired that night nor any one of them ever fired ex- ccpt at Fort Niobrara in Nebraska
 Furthermore large box of exploded shells and clips had been brought from Fort Niobrara by Company B and left uncovered for several days after their arrival on the back porch of the company barracks. where anyone so disposed might help himself.
 Various people Senator Foraker con tinued. said that they heard the shooting and at distance of from twenty-five to 150 feet saw the men who were doing the firing and recog- nized them as negroes wearing the uniform of United States soldiers. On the other hand all the officers of the battalion in addition to their testimony 10 the good discipline of the troops declared that the night was so dark that without artificial light it was i'm possible to distinguish colored man from white man at a distance of ten or twelve feet
 The truth of the matter is that President Roosevelt disregarded the soldiers evidence when they denied their guilt and punished the whole battalion with one stroke of the pen without having knowledge that there was single criminal in the three com panies. Although extraordinary ef- forts have been made to supply evil dence in defense of his course. after months of investigation the senate committee has not been able to iden- tify single negro soldier as partici- pating in the shooting or to discover one soldier who could point to an act uai offender. As for the presidents charge of a conspiracy of silence pre- sumably it holds good because the sol diers have not convicted themselves or been convicted by others
 But at least, as Senator Fsraker says. the negro soldiers have had a chance to state their side of the case. whether or not the senate investiga- ton has any other result
