superior views of his own Importance, and
a lofty disdain of petticoats western and,

precise English, wore iong-tailed coats
and brown fedora, and was one of the

BIBLE IN NEW TONGUE.
Translation Now In Progress For an
African Tribe

Translation Now In Progress For an
African Tribe.
Work on the translation of the Bible
into a language in which it has never
before been printed has been under
way for some time. Within the last
few days a missionary representative
from the Koranko tribe in the hinter-
land of Sierra Leone, in West Africa,
has been in consultation with officials
of the American Bible society in New
York city to find out if it is possible
to have at least one of the four Cos
pels printed in this language in the
near future.
A number of missionaries under the
supervision of the Christian Mission
airy alliance have been working among
the Korankos for many years The
missionaries believe they have mas
tered the language of this tribe and
now want them to have the Bible I'm
their own tongue. The Bible society
has already printed TRANSACTIONS for
eight different tribes in Africa, the
editions for the Benga, Bulu, Dikele.
Grebo, Mpongwe, Sheetswa, Tonga and
Zulu nations.
The first copy for the Koranko trans
lation probably will be forwarded to
New York on the arrival in Sierra
Leone of the representative who con
ferred with the Bible society, and the
work of setting the type will begin
Immediately on its receipt in New
York city.
All the African Bible TRANSACTIONS
have been printed in New York. Be
fore any copy is sent to the Bible So
ciety the most educated members of
the tribes are consulted as to words
which sometimes have caused much
trouble. And it is in this respect that
officials of the society have cautioned
missionaries in their translations. as
some have been found after printing
to require revision shortly afterward
Like similar versions of the Bible, the
Koranko edition possibly will include
the four gospels and the Psalms.

Accusing her husband of conduct that

that she would not detect his infideltty,
Mrs. G. Theron Won Engel appeared in
police court yesterday TO prosecute her
husband on the formal charge of as
sault and battery. This charge was
that which the wife formally preferred
against her husband. and in order to
hold the accused man until further in
vestigation can be made into the
charges brought against him, he was
sentenced to serve five days in the
county Jail. The testimony brought up
by the wife against her husband was
of a somewhat sensational nature, and
if there can be a verificatiOn made of
the allegations, the physician can be
held on a much more serious charge
than that of assault and battery. In
addition to accusing her husband of
having administered the chlorofOTm to
her in small enough quantities to keep
her in a semi-stupor. the wife alleged
that he had been intimate with several
women of the city whom she alleged
he had married, but which the physi-
clan denied AS a counter claim and
accusation, the doctor accused his wife
of having been a victim of the drug
