HUMAN SACRIFICES.
The Brutality That Went With War In
Former Times.

Former Times.
Before a battle in former times the
priests solemnly devoted to the gods
the whole Of the hostile army then in
sight, and, If possible. no man Of it
was left alive. When Hermann de-
coyed the great host of Varus into the
forest depths all the Romans that es-
capped death in the battle were cap
tured and led into the dark recesses.
where every man Of them was sacri-
feed upon hastily erected affairs.
Latham. in his edition of Tacitus,
quotes six contemporary authorities to
show that this practice Of concluding
a victory with human sacrifices was
customary among u Teutonic ances-
tors. Some crucifed their prisoners,
others hung them up to trees for arch
cry practice. but in general a captive
was either slain on the spot or else re-
served to be sacrificed to the gods.
Even when the progress Of agriculture
induced them to keep a majority Of
the prisoners alive to be slaves they
appeased the gods for this indignity
by increasing the tortures inflicted on
the small remainder.
Gibbon describes how. before the
blazing altar. every hundredth mans
arms were hacked of him and, before
his eyes, thrown into the flames. All
that a red Indian would have done
In the eighteenth century was freely
practiced by our ancestors Of twelve
centuries ago. And the highest ideal
Of a nan then included, as a duty, dark
cruelty and grewsome revenge against
all his enemies.
Marriage by Halter.
Among ignorant people of English
birth it was once the belief that a wife
bought with money or goods was legal
" married If the purchaser led her all
the way home by a halter.
Mr.. Barring Gould, the English anti
quarian. told Of a village poet known
to him who bought a wife for a half
crown and led her twelve miles to his
cottage. The squire and the rector pro.
tested to the village poet that he was
not legally welded.
"Why. yes, l be-" he replied. 'Ill
take my Bible oath l never once took
the halter off till she'd crossed the
doorsill and the door was shut"
The latest Instances Of such wife
sales occurred in 1858 and 1859. when
women were sold in Little Horton and
in Dudley. In these cases a blue rib.

WHAT CREDIT DID FOR HIM.

WHAT CREDIT DID FOR HIM.
About four years ago d young man
came into our office and asked us
where he could buy furnishings for
his home on credit. without paying
two prices. He had just been married
and cash was needed for many other
things We referred him to the Peter
Grogan and Sons Company. at SI7-
23 Seventh street, and told him that
we had known them for twenty-five
years.
Last week we had occasion to call
at his home, and it was astonishing 20
see what he had been able to buy in
these four years. He told us the
story of how he started, and how he
had paid for his furniture. At Gro
gan's he showed them that he had
steady employment and could pay s.
-or SS a month They let him have
what was necessary or start,
amounting to about SIoo, and deliv-
cred the goods without asking for a
contract. lien or notes. In three
months he needed stoves. His pay
ments had been made promptly so
they were glad to let him add to his
account. From time to time this
same thing was repeated, until today
he has a comfortable. handsomely fur
nished home, and has never felt the
cost as a hardship.
The same opportunity is open to
YOU. They will let you have goods on
credit. and you won't have to pay big
prices. Grogan tells you frankly that
the difference between cash and credit
Is ten per cent That's what It is
and no more-and its worth it.

CHAIRMAN MACK
HAS NO APOLOGY

New York, Nov. 5.-Declaring that
today than it has been in many years;
that Mr.. Bryan was defeated by what
he claims was misrepresentation to the
effect that his election would hurt bus
mess interests Chairman Mack, of the
democratic national committee yester-
day issued a statement In which he
announces extensive plans to- advance
the party's interests the next four
years.
Mr.. Mack's statement in full fol-
lows:
There is not much for me to say
and no apologies to make relative to
the victory of the republican party.
Mr.. Bryan made the most magnificent
fight ever waged by a candidate. The
party was made the victim of misrep-
resentation-a misrepresentation that
democratic success would retard the
business interests of the country. That
was, of course, an argument without
foundation of fact.
Notwithstanding Tuesdays defeat
the democratic party stands more
united today than it has in many years
and in this union lies it's future
strength and power of recuperation.
1T is my intention TO continue
headquarters in Buffalo and Washing
ton for the next four years to keep
in touch with the leaders of all the
states and promulgate democratic
principles and democratic thought by
the printing of literature to aid the
leaders of the party in fighting the
high tariff which in all probability
the republicans will continue, notwith-
standing their promise to revise it. !
am supported in this by members OF
the national committee, state chair
men and other leaders all over the
country.
TN his own state, Nebraska, where
he is best known, Mr.. Bryan was vic
torious While it is true that he met
with defeat in the nation, he did SO
as the candidate Of his party supported
by 100000 or 100000 of his coun-
trymen who voted for him and the
principles he SO splendidly espoused

Leaders of both parties found them

Of Chairman Frank Hitchcock of the
republican national committee they
would have at least 325 electoral votes.
At the opening OF the days dis
patches these things appeared to be
fairly we'll settled. Leaving Maryland
and Missouri out of the count. Taft
was assured of 301 electoral votes,

block of 1S votes hanging In the bal
Rnce by dispatch of last night show

Bryan had lead of 81 votes. Com
plete returns might swing the result
pne way or the other. The general
belief was that the offhctal canvas
would have to be waited for to settle
the question whether. Missouri's Is
votes would be for Taft or Bryan.
Maryland Very Close.
Maryland with electoral votes is
claimed for Taft with a margin of on
" 1876 votes and s few districts yet

sisted that they would not yield their
state to the republican save upon the
authority OF the offlcial count.
