BATHING AN INDIAN IDOL.
Curious Ceremony Attended by Thou
sands OF Devout Pilgrims.

Thousands Of pilgrims from the VI,
rious outlying villages and other parts
Of the Hooghly district poured in from
an early hour In the morning to the
temples Of Jagernath. says the Cal
cutta Statesman
The image of the god is placed on
a conspicuous part OF the temple. SO
that 1t can be viewed at an advantage
by the immense crowd OF pilgrims.
and there at a certain fixed hour the
bathing ceremony commences.
The most curious part of the festi-
val is that water is not poured on the
image OF the god until a certain small
bird Is found sitting on the topmost
banner OF the temple. There is pop
ular belief that the bird comes from
Puri. the famous place OF Hindu pilgrim
age. to Maheoh on the day of this
festival, and his very presence is an
indication that the ceremony should
commence. Immediately after the
bath the bird disappears.

vicarious Punishment Common
Thing in the East.

The numbers OF aged men among
the prisoners in the jails of India is
said to be very large, and the expla-
nation is this:
1t is common practice, when a
theft is brought home to a man by
the police, for him to get an old IA
Their or uncle to take the blame on
himself, or he puts up younger broth
err to do so. Before the court they
make full and circumstantial confess
sion. They are convicted and the
real thieves get OF. 1t is done to
benefit the family. A sturdy young
man is able to do more for the family
support by honest labor or by thiev.
.ng than an old man or a boy.
This is custom which prevails
more or less in all Oriental countries.
The judges and the people seem to
argue in this way: Somebody has
committed a crime, therefore some
toGy must be punished. Now the law
is 70 respecter of persons. and one per-
sen is the same as another; therefore,
1t can make no difference to the law
who is punished. So, II the law pun
shes some person for the crime. II
makes no difference II he did not com.
NIT the crime, the law has been vindi.

The woman had none, but passed

ATTACK
MAN AT B. & O. STATION
joe Braxman Roughly Used by Two
Unknown Negroes Saturday
Night-Robbed Of SIS.

From The World OF Monday:
One OF the most sensational hold
ups that have been reported to the
police Of this city was that Of Satur-
day night.
About 3 o'clock Sunday morning
Joe Braxman, employed as a tailor at
Hacks, limped onto the platform Of
ene Baltimore and Ohio station. and
told a story OF hold-up that was
hardly credited by the employees who
we're on duty at the time. Braxman
said that me had gone to the east
bound mail box on the platform
about IL o'clock to mail a letter, AMI
while standing at the box two negroes
pounced upon him. One drew a hand
kerchief over his mouth and the
other pinioned his hands behind him.
The negroes forced their victim from
the platform and compelled him to
walk down the tracks. Braxman told
how they half carried and half drag
ged him along the tracks to the neigh
borhood of the Bulleye bridge where
they stripped him of his coat and
threw away his hat.
After they got their man away from
town they left him along the tracks
and proceeded on their way. The
men first rifed his pockets and took
what money he had on his person.
something more than $500.
When Braxman got back to town he
was a sight. His face was scratched
and his clothing torn. His necktie haS
been twisted around his neck and e
said the ruffians had choked him until
his tongue held out.
After telling his troubles to those
at the station he went to the police
station and there related his expert
nee to the officers. A search was
made for-the men but they had made
good their escape.
The men, it is believed, were stran-
gers about here, and it is thought
that two or three strange negroes
who were seen loafing about the sta
ton earlier in the night, were the
perpetrators OF the crime. The search
however, failed to find any clue TO
the men. Sunday morning a search
was made along the road, when his
coat and hat were found and brought
to this city and turned over to the
owner. The victim was pretty badly
bruised and scratched and as a re.
suit is very sore.
