African Pycmies.

The pygmies of Africa, says Captain
Guy Burrows in his Land Of the Pyg
miles," are masters in the art of hunt
Ing. They can kill even elephants with
their little bows and arrows. binding
the animal first by shooting at Its
eyes. Once he is blinded they never
leave him till he falls. A pygmy, !
have no hesitation in saying, eats, as q
rule. twice as much as viii suffice a
full grown man. He will take a stalk
containing about sixty bananas seat
himself and eat them all at meal, be-
sides other food. Then he will lie and
groan throughout the night until
morning comes. when he Is ready to
repeat the operation.

ALL doubt as to whether Justice would
be administered in the case OF Thomas
Carey was set at rest, on Thursday, when
Judge Horner pronounced sentence which
will put this aged offender out of the way
to do harm for at least two years, for II
his behavior is good while in the state
prison, Carey will get something on
the time given him. His punishment was
none too severe, and while it was all right
for his paid counsel to argue for leniencY,
there was nothing to warrant such action.
Mr.. Hillman went just little beyond the
limits when he tried to make the neWspa-
pers the cause of Carey's present position.
He claimed that the papers had given
Carey all that was coming to him" every
time he got into trouble and, consequent
|ly, it was to be expected that the court
records would show greatly against the
man, but such was not the case. Then
he proceeded to show that the persons
who had been assaulted by Carey were
"only tramp farmers" and people OF no
standing" This may be justification, but
the general impression has been that the
poor as well as the rich are entitled to the
laws protection. Mr.. Hillman may not
know that there haye been times when
the newspapers have not reported some
things about his client. He also knows
all about the character of Carey. The
latter is no stranger to the lawyer, who is
perfectly aware of the reputation OF the
man he defended. for he has lived In the
vicinity of the accused for long time,
and ii he is ignorant on the subject he is
about the only person in that position.
There is no objection to a lawyer earn
ling all the money he can by defending a
man charged with high crime. but he
goes outside of his jurisdiction when ne
tries to lay the blame of the mans ~repu-
tation on the newspapers.

NEW YORK HERALD

New York.-The metropolitan papers
vie with each other in getting out special
editions on holidays. The coming Easter
editions of the various papers here will
undoubtedly surpass anything which has
been produced In the past. | have just
seen the editor in charge of the special
Easter edition of the NEW York HERALD,
which will be issued with its regular paper
on Sunday, April 4. The editor of this
special number of the HERALD tells me
that a special effort has been made, and
that more money has been paid and
better features have been secured than
ever In the past for an Easter number.
In addition to the regular quota OF news
contained in the paper, as well as the
regular features, comics, &c, beautiful
page in tints will be published, showing a
composite madonna. This subject was
secured by making a composite photo
graph from eight of the worlds master
piece Madonnas, and will probably be the
most unique feature of the paper. Fol-
lowing it in interest will be a full page
sketch, reproduced in color, called 1.-THE
Easter Girl" This Is by ChristY. Another
colored page which will attract attention
will be page entitled ''The Sister Re-
publics" France and the United States).
Other special features include 'The Titled
British CRATER" a clever social satire by
James L. Ford Kate Jordan, editress of
Harper's Bazaar, has page entitled lis
the American Girl Losing Her Charm r
This is very momentous question, espe-
cially to the young ladies. In the fiction
| line, Katherine Roof has furnished story
entitled "The White Shadow" telling
about the queer things that come to light
| In the photographers dark room. The
story is well worth reading. Last but not
least, of the many special features which
the HERALD will furnish its readers in this
special edition of Sunday, April 4, is q
story "a Great Artist and His Work. y
This story tells In detail how William M.
Chase made $4,000 painting in day, and
how he won his fight for fame. Every
artist, and all those connected with the
artistic world, will want to read this
story.
