Inhabitants of the IslaDd OF
Samos Hostile TO the
Rsigning Prince.

Constantlnople, May 23.-Tne In
habitants of the island of Samos,
Greek island off the west coast of
Asia Minor, are in revolt against the
Prince of Samos and the governor OF
the island. Fighting has been go
ing on at Vathy, the capital, for the
past three days, and there are num-
erous victims of the encounters.
The trouble appears to have arisen
in a conflict between the governor,
Kopassls Efendi and the senate.
The Prince of Samos was seized by
the malcontents and beaten. He
made his escape to the palace, which
since then has been beieagured. Re-
Endorsements OF troops sent from
Smyrna were driven back by fusil-
lade from the shore.
The. revolving islanders are being
aided by the gendarmerie. 1t ap-
pears that the telegraph office has
been seized by the rebels, but dis
patch sent from Smyrna dated to-
day, declares that the attack on the
palace continues, and that there have
been many casualties.

drove all outdoors to shelter.
The heaviest Individual loss is that

the damage wrought by the storm is

successful in staying the hand OF
those who would get at the bot
tom of conditions and show the
people of Cincinnati and the people
of Ohio the condition as 1t exists
in the Queen City.
This action upon the part OF Cox
and his aides only means that the
committee will be prevented from
getting into thu secrets of the ad-
ministration OF the big boss until
the votes have bern cast next rail-
and 1t also gives them more time
to cover up their tracks and get
into such condition that the sting

mere fact that they are doing all

vestigation shows that there is
something radically wrong and that
they propose to keep the people In
darkness as long as possible.

MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVANCE

Another Memorial day is here
and like the melancholy DAYS"
Decoration day has come to be the
'saddest of the year" The time
was when 10 was not so considered
but now Ii Is a different matter.
When the day was first originated,
the soldiers. the veterans of the
Civil War. were nearly all young
men and while the memory of the
lsoldiers who lost their lives In hos
|pbtals and on battlefields was fresh
in the memory of loved ones, the
memory OF their glorious deeds was
also fresh and served to temper the
pangs OF sorrow. The veterans
marched with steady tread and the
fire of youth was still visible in the
eye. But now how different. The
columns have been thinned by the
rayagrs OF time, the step is tot
tering, the eye has been dimmed
and the memory blurred. The col
'umn OF veterans is small, the heads
are white and many have canns to
help them on their way to the
graves of depanted comrades. Truly
1t Is a touching sight to see such
loyalty upon the part of the old
soldiers for the memory of their
companions on the field OF battle.
The growing disregard upon the
part OF the younger men and women
OF the country for the day which
has been set apart for decorating
the graves of the Nations heroes,
should cause alarm upon the part
OF patriots. Instead OF the younger
men and women of the nation re-
lieving the veterans OF the respon-
tsibihty of attending to this duty,
which should be a pleasure, they
are now found making a holiday Of
the day. Few of the younger men
and women are found at the ceme
tteries on Memorial day. Instead
they can be found along the banks
OF lakes and rivers, fishing, en-
Ioying picnics in the parks and In
the country and many can be seen
at ball games or other sporting
events.
This tendency upon the part OF
the young people to disregard Mem
orial day calls forth the question,
"Who is to attend to the decoration
OF the graves of veterans when the
old soldier has passed away?" 1t is
a question which is worthy of re-
Election. There are two organiza-
tions which have IN measure
taken up the work. One is the Span
ish-American War Veterans and the
other rs the Sons of Veterans. But
neither OF these organizations is OF
sufficient strength to carry out the
work without the assistance of the
patriotic citizens OF the nation. This
duty is one which should not be
left to any organization. 1t Is one
in which every young man and
young woman. every middle aged
man and every middle aged woman
should take an interest.
The whole trouble lies In the fact
that the young people of today do
not realize the great blessing they
are enjoying as a result OF the sac
rifices which were made by the
fathers and their fathers fathers.

tive j. II. Harding, or the Third Ohio

iof his intention to run as an inde-

Bieser, who dominates the Third dis
trict faction which chose Catrow.
Congressman Harding said yesterday:
81 recognize the seriousness OF the
step, which am to take but the de-
cision OF the board of electors Is, in
my Judgment, entirely contrary to
the fact and the law and owe 1t
to my constituents not to submit to
kudh high-handed methods I In
tend 10 make campaign against
corrupt methods In both parties. with
the end in view OF giving the people
an opportunity of expressing their
real sentiment"

the center of the lake, along the eastern shore to the top and spent some time with the natives. He tells me that the people of the different villages there are closely related, and that when man oies his family at sonce sends word to their relatives of the nelghboring villages to come and take possession of the body. They do so and then prepare feast Of which the dear departel is the piece de resistance. The body is cut up ana roasted over the fire or boiled with bananas in an earthen pot. No one of the village to which the man belonged is allowed to join in the horrible feast, srd the family of the dead are not al- lowed to be present. Such bodies are taken away in the da, time, soon after death. and the procession carrying them is one of four men who use sack for the purpose.
 These people are called the Manyema, and until recently they have a accom- panted the burial of their chiefs with hu- man sacrifices, 10 living women being buried in each grave. The legs of the women were broken at the knees and their arms at the elbows and they were then laid fla. in the grave with the dead body of the chief on top of them. After this 10 live men, whose arms and legs were broken in the same way were placed over the top of the chief, and the grave was then Tiled up. MY authority for this last statement is J. F. Cunning ham, a fellow of the Royal Geographic Society of London. who for some years was one of the chief British employees ir this part of Africa.
 My German friend told me that the officials about Lake Tanganyika have been trying to stop the practice of eating the dead, but that the natives are superstitious in regard to it. and that 1t still goes on.
 The leland of the Dead.
 It was shortly after leaving the Sesse Islands that our ship coasted the shores of the Island of the dead, wh ich lies almost opposite the German mili- tary station of Bukob;.. It Is little rocky mass covering but few acres. which rises out of the lake almost straight upward for several hundred

. servants of their husbands, as is the case all around this great lake. The men are considered superior beings. A girl many not sit on a chair or a stool, and if there is anything of that kind in a hut it is monopolized by the male members of the family, the girls using the ground.
 Among the Sesse Islanders.
 The Sesse Islands are off the shore of Uganda, the largest of them being only three miles from the mainland They are governed by the King of Uganda, and have a representation in the lukiko, or council of chiefs, at Mengo. The principal chief gets 5000 year from the British government.
 These islands are the largest and best in all Lake Victoria. There are 62 of them, of which 42 are inhabited. In the past they have had a large popula- tion, but within two or three years the sleeping sickness has broken out there and thousands have died. There is a large hospital on the island and this, for the greater part of last year, was under the control of Dr. Koch the fla nous German diphtheria specialist who came out here to study the sleeping sick ness.
 At present the Sesse group has some good-szed settlements. The natives are farmers, and they raise bananas, corn, potatoes and tobacco. Coffee grows wild, and it is said to be good.
 The Sesse islanders are much like the Baganda. Both sexes dress in bark cloth and the women wrap bark blankets around their bodies under the arms, leav ing the shoulders and upper breast bare. Only the babies are allowed to go naked. These people are good fishermen and they have well made canoes. They manu-

fracture them from trees of soft wood, cutting the logs into boards and then tying the boards together with leather thongs and caIking them. Some such boats will hold 100 men. In olden times it is said that certain kings of the Sesse group had as many as 400 canoes.
 Speaking of the missionaries, the Sesse Islanders are to a large extent now Chris tians. In the past their country was seat of heathenism, and the home of the famed goddess, Mukasa who ruled all Victoria Nyanza This goddess had temple on the island of Bubembe. Her prisets were suppose to own the island, and the descendant of one of them named Gugu is now it's proprietor. Gugu has 3500 acres of land and is rich in ba- nanas.
 The kings of Uganda formerly sent sac rifces to Mulyasa. They contributed flocks of sheep and goats, and that in such numbers that when the royal sacrifices were made the blood ran in streams from the gates of the temple down into the lake. Mutesa, the grandfather of the present king of Uganda, once sent 100 slaves, 100 women, 100 cows and 100 goats at one time to this goddess.
 They Eat Dead Men.
 It Is on the Sesse Islands that the Se- cret Society of the Bachichi. who have the custom of eating dead human beings, is believed to have its head, and at pres- ent all who die there are watched by their relatives for eight days to prevent their being so consumed. A similar GUS tom exists in Uganda, and also along the upper shores of Lake Tankanyika. I met German trader during my stay at Mivanza who had just returned after long march from Tanganyika. During tiis trip he went from Ujiji, at
