We notice that the Insurgents still
seem to be worried over what the
Sage of oyster Bay may do in con-
nection with national politics. Many
of our Kansas friends who have been
''insurging clear across the state slop-

seem to have worried look of late,
upon their hitherto happy faces. Gov
ernor Stubs does not hardly seem to

whether he ought to come out strong

he ought to hold off and see if this

exactly where he is at. He said the
other day in Des Moines that the Wall

the writer could not hardly see the
connection. Did White want the Wall

Governor Wilson and Senator La Fol-

DEATH INTERPRETERS IN
THE MCNAMARA TRIAL

Numerous Persons concerned IN
Case Have Lost Lives or Rela-

Los Angeles, CAL, Nov L.
Because Judge Bordwell was
compelled to hear developments
ina big civil case involving the
ownership Of harbor lands, no
sessions in the Mcnamara rnur-
der trial was held today. Coun-
sci for both sides spent the day
going over the records of venire-
men still eligible for service. 1t
is now considered certain that the
judge will finally excuse Alexan-
der Grebfing, passed for cause by
both sides yesterday, because he
insists he cannot convict on cir
cumstantial evidence where the
death penalty is involved. This
will leave three permanent and
three. tentative. jurors in the box.
Despite this, Attorney barrow
and District Attorney Fredricks
unite in declaring the jury will be
completed by the middle of next

are many instances, OF course. OF this
strange selection, due in most cases
probably to some accident of clothing.
There Is a well remembered case which
happened some years ago at Cam
bridge. when three young men were
walking across an open space OF
ground. and the middle one Of the
three was struck dead. while the 9th
ers were untouched. The inquest
showed that the young man who was
killed had nails in his boots. whereas
the others were wearing boating shoes.

NEW GUINEA PYGMIEs.
Tks Spear and Bow and Poisoned A.
rows Their Chief Weapons.

TIE Spear and Bow and Poisoned Ar
rows Their Chief Weapons.
Our knowledge OF the pygmies OF
New Guinea shows that In habit they
are nomadic. nowhere filling the
ground. but depending for their living
entirely on their skill in hunting and
fishing. Their chief weapon Is the
bow, their arrows being generally
poisoned either with the famous upas
or some other similar vegetable poison.
In some cases q species OF strychntne.
They also make use of the spear and
an ingenious form Of spring gun
which is common to numerous other
forest tribes. This is formed by set
ting a fiattened bamboo spear attached
to a bent sapling. which Is fastened to
a trigger in such a way that 1t is re-
leased by the passerby stumbling
against an invisible string stretched
across q game track. These spears are
really set for game. and to the initi-
ated they are obvious enough. as their
presence Is always indicated by GER
tain well known signs. such as a
broken off twig placed in cleft stick.
In war these signs are removed. the
removal being equivalent to the NOV
Ing Of buoys in a mined channel. The
wounds inflicted by these hardened
bamboo spears are necessarily serious.
The mental qualities OF the Negritos
are extremely undeveloped. none OF
them being able to express higher
numerical idea than three. but all OBJ
servers who have met them unite in
saying that they are merry little peo-
pie. with great ideas Of hospitality
when their confidence has been gained
and provided they have not been pre-
viously i'll treated. They are not can
nibals and nre generally homogeneous.
