CONTROL OF THE PARKS.
Complete Jurisdiction May Be Elk
ercised by the Government

Gen. Davis. judge advocate general Of
the army, has given an opinion to the
Secretary of War that the United States
government has complete and absolute
Jurisdiction over the public parks and re-
servations in the city of Washington. AS
a natural consequence, he held that there
is no legal impeachment to the erection in
Garfield Park of heating, lighting and
power plant for the Capitol and Con-
gressional buildings. In his opinion. he
accepts the statement of Col. Bromwel
the engineer officer in charge of public
buildings and grounds that there was no
reverter clause in the deeds by which
the ground on which the city was laid out
was conveyed to the United States, and
consequently that the public reservations
are available for any public use legally
prescribed for them.

the improvement of the property: ana
all he will say about it is that he has
bought it
The purchase OF this property brings
to mind the rumOrs that have been cur
rent recently concerning the building OF
a large hotel in Just that section OF the
city. The fact that p. E. Chase pur-
poses to build a theater, to take the place
of his present one, when the government
gets the PENNSYLVANIA avenue property,
also has caused some talk about his
building on the site just acquired by Mi.
Hutchns. If the rumor has any founda-
ton 1t cannot be verified.

TO GIVE UP THE PRACTICE.
Moros Promise to Abandon Human
Sacrifice

Human sacrifice and the way to pre-
vent it constitute one OF the most inter-
esting parts of the annual report of Brig.
Gen. Bliss, governor Of the Moro province
Island Of Mindanao. The Datu Ansic
admitted the sacrifice, but said
it was according to their religious prac-
tice. They believe in God of good, and
God of evil, corresponding to the Chris
tian devil. When misfortunes come to
the tribe for too long a time sacrifices
are made. Also when. man OF rank
dies and his widow cannot get a new

Two widows named Addy and Obby had
no success in getting new husbands and
they complained to Datu Ansig that some
body must be sacrificed. So a slave boy
named Sacum, eight years old, partly
deaf and cross-eyed. was brought for the
sacrifice. The population was gathered
around him and a spear was placed in
the hands of the two widows. who at
a word from Ansig. drove the spear
through the childs body. which was
then cut up into pieces and distributed
around as mementos for the occasion.
None Of the body was eaten. The child
did not know he was be killed till

Of the community were killed. Ansig and
the two widows, together with several
men who helped cut up the body, were
put on trial and sentenced to long terms
of Imprisonment. but in accordance with
the view of Gov. Bliss that the case was
one for religious instruction rather than
for criminal prosecution, the sentence was
suspended after the people had pledged
themselves to abandon the practice
A large gathering of the tribespeople
was at the trial, and the impression made
upon them was marked. The law au-
