MAORI SAVAGERY.
The Women Slaughtered the Victims
For the Csnnibsi Fessts.

Mrs. T.. NJ. Dunlop of Auckland. New
Zealand. writes of the Maori women:
"The Maori woman can keep at will.
she has practiced the art. which has
formed an important part of her train
ing. She wceps so genuinely and so
%copiously as to melt the heart of Il
sympathizing witness. The Maoris
hold 'tnagis,' or weeping parties, to
mourn their dead, and i'm these gather
ings the women play Il conspicuous
part. While weeping they utter u low,
mournful cry, which has a very weird
effect when produced by n number Of
voices. The mourncrs sit in groups.
with their heads partially covered. Civ
ing forth their monotonous wailing and
shedding copious tears.
"The Maori woman of past ages al
most exccllcd her lord in savagery. On
the return IF Il triumphant wal party
they usually brought home a number
of prisoners and slaves. 1t was the
privilege of the women of the tribe to
fall upon these, slaughtering them in
preparation for the cannibal feast
which followed. The women bore the
painful ceremony of the tattoo without
shrinking. Spiral marks were cut into
the flesh OF their chins. lips and faces;
a SCOT made by n peculiar method was
rubbed into the wounds. causing an in
delible blue-black stain.
The Maoris. even I'm their former
state, treated their women with a GER
tain amount of consideration, although
the lot of the female slave was very
hard and often ended in her being
served up as n dainty dish to appease
the appetite of her voracious lord, who
would kick away the baskets of vege-
table food presented to him by his
wives rs a signal that lie required the
tender flesh of a slave girl"

CHICAGO LOSES GAS SUIT
Ordinance Providing for seventy-Five
Cents Per Thousand Feet VIII
Not BE Effective.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.-Justice Day OF
the supreme court announced that the
courts decision in the case Of the City OF
Chicago against Darius o. Mills was ad-
verse to the city's contentious. The case
involved the Chicago city ordinance fixing
the price OF gas at 70 cents per 1.0OO cubic
feet Mills is a stockholder of the Peoples
Gas company of Chicago. He resides in
California. He sued In the federal court
for the northern district OF Illinois for an
injunction to prohibit the enforcement Of
the ordinance, and his prayer was granted,
the city Immediately appealing to the su-
preme court The principal question at is
sue was a claim that the supreme court
lacked jurisdiction. and the city charged
that Mills suit had been instituted In col
lusion with the company, the local citizen
ship Of the company admittedly depriving
the national courts of Jurisdiction
The district court failed TO find evidence
OF such colluEion and on the merits OF the
case granted the injunction. The supreme
court sustained that course by affirming
the decision. It is made to appear from
the city's pleading in the case that since
1860 when the ordinance was enacted, the
company had collected at the rate OF 81
per Loo. thus securing an aggregate Of
$1,000 600 in excess of the total that would
have been obtained under the rates OF the
ordinance.
