THE FIRST LIGHTHOUSES.
they Were an outsrowth OF Beseor
Fires on Head lands.

When ships are sailing upon the
ocean the lights of heaven are their
guides. Even in the dark ages,
when the compass and sextant were
unknown instruments, the seeming
ly motionless pole star hung like a
beacon light in the northern heav-
ems, and the rising and setting OF
the sun and stars distinguished the
east from the west. When, how.
ever, ships came near the land the
lights Of heaven are not sufficiently
safe to guide them. Rocks lie in
their paths, unseen in the night
reefs and shosls spread under the
water, while unsuspectcd currents
sweep the frail craft all blindly upon
these dangers.
Nevertheless, ships we're sailed
along dangerous coasts for cen
turies before plain system OF
marking dangerous places was in.
vented. The early mariners we're
bold and reckless rovers, more than
half pirates, who seldom owned a
rood Of the coasts along which they
sailed and could not have establish
ed lights and landmarks on them had
they cared TO do so. The rude begin
ming, then, Of system Of lighthouses
was when the merchants with whom
the reckless mariners traded in those
dark ages built beacons near the
harbor mouths TO guide the ships
into port by day and lighted fires for
their guidance at night AS such q
harbor guide had to be sure land
mark in the daytime and light by
night, IL soon took on settled
shape-a tower on which could be
built a fire. and such a tower was
usually built of stone.
This method of guiding ships into
the ports which they sought was
scarcely established before human
wickcdncss used il as means for
their destruction. Bands Of rob.
bcrs, or, as they came TO be called,
"wrcckers," would hide themselves
somewhere near the haven sought
BY n richly laden vessel and, after
ovcrpowcring the fire keepers, would
cxtinguish the beacon fire on the
night on which the ship was expect.
ed. Then they would light another
fire near some trcachcrous reef. The
mariner, sailing boldly toward the
false light. would dash his vessel 10
destruction on the reef, whercupon
the robbcr band would plumber the
wreck and make OF with the booty.

FATE AND ANDREW JACKSON.
What Going West, Not East Meant h
the Fiery Lawyer.

During the young manhood OF
Andrew Jackson, when he rode the
circuit in Tennessee, knowing more
law than most of his brethren at the
bar, afraid of nothing on earth,
ready to challenge to a duel some
trained lawyer from the older set
Elements when that lawyer tres
passed upon his own preserves and
made fun Of his ignorance-as
Waightstill Avery did-thus hold
ing his ground against all corners,
partly by brute force and partly by
mental superiority, he was probably
nearer to happiness than he ever
was afterward
From court TO court he rode his
race horse, pistols in holsters, carry
ing his gun and his pack Of hounds,
ready for the courthouse, ready for
the deer chase, ready for the shoot
ing match, ready for the horse race,
ready for the house raising and log
rolling, ready to go out himself and
drag into the courthouse the des-
perado whom the sheriff feared to
arrest.
Rough and tumble times these
were in backwoods Tennessee, with
rude and lawless elements boiling
and bubbling in that inevitable pc.
riod OF unrest and struggle which
prevails in border settlements be-
fore the community takes form and
everybody smugly congratulates
everybody else on the "reign Of law
and order"
In just such a state Of society
young Jackson was peculiarly fitted
TO lead, dominate and prosper.
Had he gone eastward instead OF
westward, had he cast in his lot with
the lawyers that were striving for
advancement in the cities Of the
original thirteen seaboard states,
nothing is more certain than that
the world would never have heard
OF him.
Ills lack Of knowledge Of the law
would have made him easy prey to
those who were masters of this pro.
fession. His fiery temper would
have kept him constantly in battle
array, and in fighting those lawyers
who got the better Of him in the ci.
tation Of legal authorities he would,
in the nature OF things, have met
the wrong man sooner or later

Two Famous Kisses.

History has taken notice Of somo
famous kisses. There was that
which Queen Margaret gave 10
Alain Charter over 800 years ago,
the memory Of which is fresh in the
minds OF men IL not on their lips
Charter was a poet, but he was the
ugliest man personally in all "the
sunny land of France" The queen,
with her maids, one day found him
asleep and, bending over him, kissed
his dreaming lips. Turning to her
maids, she prettily said; II kiss not
the man. | kiss the soul that
sings"
Two centuries later Voltairc, an.
other Frcnchman and also a poet,
was publicly kissed in the stage box
OF the theater by the young and
lovely Countess dc Villars, but in
his case the lady gave the kiss not
as n voluntary tribute TO genius, but
in obedience TO the commands OF
the elaque in the pit, who, mad with
enthusiasm for the poets "Me.
rope" babe her kiss him.

yACKsos,s CRITICISMS.

Goes After Expenses Of Republic
 BanEx's Baakrupicy Proeeedfngs.
 Albany, N. T.. Feb. 6.--Attorneys fees and expenses in connection with the receivership for the dissolution began in 1901 of the Republic Savings and Loan Association of New York are the subject of criticism in a statement gtv- en out. tonight, by Attorney General Jackson in connection with his an- nouncenfent that he has ordered an in- vestigation of all the proceedings for the dissolution of the corporation.
 The receivers are State Superinten- dent of Insurance Kelsey and Edward G. Riggs, of New York.
 In the course of an extended dis cussion of the charges of the attor- neys Mir. Jackson says:
 The account and the objections thereto taken together indicate the ex- cessive and unreasonable charges and improvident waste of the creditors money and the conduct by the receivers of the business of this association in such manner as that the assets have dwindled from $600.000 to less than $30.000, which in the opinion of the attorney general justifies the most rtG- i'd and searching examination of the proceedings of the receivers in all ju- risdictions." 4ea..
 Russell S. Johnson. one of the att torneys for the receivers, said to- night:
 "The attorney generals statement is full of gross misstatements. It Is true the company had paper assets which figured up $soo,oo0. It is also true that two-t thirds of these paper assets were represented by equities through second and third mortgages on real estate: S4O0.000 of which brought In ab- solutely nothing to the receiver.
 of the balance much of 1t repre- sents second moregages and equities and out of what was realized the cred- itors had to be paid as well as the expenses of liquidation. This concern was run as a speculative realty cor poration in violation of the banking laws os the State and their assets were not even assigned an ordinary defunct building and loan association"

Washington. Feb. s--(Specfal.)- )--- Proceedings against the Honduras Lot tery Company have been conducted during the past few days with every effort to avoid publicity. but enough Is manifest to warrant the statement that the tolls are seriously frightening against the accused.
 It transpired that when the Govern ment. made known its terms to the legal representatives of the lottery company Monday they were thrown into consternation, and some of them left the city immediately, leaving two of their at orneys to keep guard until Monday next
 On that day, there will be further conference between the lottery pc foie and law officers Of the Department or Justice. at which all the local Federal attorneys who were summoned nefe last week win be present All of these have departed to return next Monday except W. H. Armbrecht of Mobile, who today was engaged II. a session with Secret Service Chier WiIk,e. considering reports corrobora' tive of previous evidence which have just come from different cities in which lottery agents operated.
 It has been determined that the May vroKecution will be at Mobile and the Department has asked Judge Toulmin to call the grand Jury III speclai seS- sion on the case the first Monday In April.
 The case will be conducted by W. H. Armbrecht. attorney for the Southern Alabama District. assisted by District Attorney Nialds of Delaware. who has had more or less to do with lottery cases since ten months ago. when J. R. Rodgers wealthy Wilmington re- tired business man was arrested for conducting the business of sg printing lottery tickets.
