CHANEY TRIAL ID
 bE SENSATIONAL Defense Will Claim That : Dead Man Gave Liquor
 to Young Child

Gadsden, March 23.-(Special) l)-In
 the trial of Claude Chaney for the kill
 ing of Sam Snider the defense fought to the last for a continuance of the base, but was outgeneraled today by
 the attorneys for the state.
 The defense entered plea of not guilty and Attorney Woodson J. Mar tin made a statement of the case and outlined the facts that the defense would attempt to prove. According to this statement the defense will attempt to show that the cause of the killing was the giving of liquor by Snider to 9-year-old son of the defendant and making him drunk and also his offer ing drink to the wife of the defendant and making other improper advances to her.
 The state. on the other hand, will. try to show that the cause of the murder was the fact that Chaney was Jealous of Snider because of his at tentions to young lady of whom Chaney was himself said to be enam- ored. There are more than 100 wit nesses to be examined. at least that many have been subpoenaed. and the trial promises to take several days in the hearing.

A SINGULAR PEOPLE.

The Todas of India always go bare
foot and never wear any head cover
ing. They scorn the turban OF the
more civilized East Indian race.
The women wear a single linen
garment, like a sheet, that reaches
from the shoulders to the feet, with
out girdle, button or string to fasten
it. One hand is always employed in
holding this robe in place,
Their hair is long and worn flowing
upon the shoulders. They spend much
time daily in rolling it over long
round sticks, in order to curl 1t.
They also rub melted butter into it, to
render it soft and glossy.
AS for jewelry, the women usually
display two heavy bracelets on the
right arm above the elbow and silver
and copper rings upon the fingers
and toes. Their adornment is COM
pleted by tattoo marks, representing
necklaces, bracelets and rings, upon
the neck, arms, hands and feet.

THE APOSTLE OF cEYLoN.

1t is just 200 years since Father
Joseph Vaz, the Apostle of Ceylon, .
closed at Handy his long missionary
career in Ceylon. From leader in
The Ceylon Catholic Messenger we
learn that when the Dutch were doing
their utmost to stamp out Christianity
in Ceylon and forbade any Catholic
priest to approach the island, Father
Vaz took up the work of restoring
there the Catholic Faith.
He could not enter the island as
a priest-he entered it as a slave!
Once there, he could not exercise his
zeal as a priest He did so in the
guise of beggar. He was not the
man to shrink before any suffering or
humiliation when it was a question OF
saving souls. He spared neither time
nor trouble, neither health nor bodily
comfort to push vigorously on the
work he had come to accomplish in
Ceylon. He travelled necessarily, and
every year visited all the stations in
the island. Day and night he toiled
on, neither unnerved by fatigue nor
discouraged by obstacles. till after q

A NATIVE CLERGY.

Bishop Merel of Canton, China, in
sists on the necessity of forming a
native clergy. From his experience
he feels that this is one principal way
of keeping the ground gained and
pushing into the interior and forming
native Christian communities. The
Chinese priests work well and are
most devoted in their care of their
own people. They are Indispensable
to the European, for they understand
conditions better than the foreigner
can and are able to appreciate the
prejudices and shortcomings of their
eountrymen. 1t is impossible the
Bishop states to do without these ma
tive priests, and to that end he has
been giving his personal attention to
the college and the grand seminary at
Canton. In his twenty-six years as a
missionary Bishop he has ordained
twenty-three Chinese priests.

CHINESE MoUNTAiNEERs.

Bishop Merel of Konang Tong, writ
ing in the current number of Catholic
Missions, says of trip that he made
into the mountains to visit isolated
sheep of the fold:
When we had gone some distance,
our guide suddenly paused amid the
wilderness. He had lost his way and
knew not whittier to turn. We kept
on, as best we could, and after awhile,
providentially as it seemed, met ma
tive who proved to be Christian.
This man joyfully undertook to lead
us to little settlement of Catholics
among the hills The distance was
considerable; our horses, already
tired, became almost exhausted before
we reached the end of the journey,
and my secretary and I were ready to
drop from our saddles with fatigue.
The native Catholics received us
with delight and we set up our tent
near their cabins. These people were,
at first, very poorly clothed, but pres
emily they donned their holiday attire
to do us honor. The gala garments
were chiefly of a bright red color, re-
lieved here and there with white.
In this region the women enjoy a
greater liberty than among the
Chinese of the cities. The cabins or
huts are built of bamboo and are di-
vided into two rooms, one of which is
used as a kitchen and the other as a
etornroon Thase Manufacturers live
chiefly on rice, edible roots and the
vegetables they cultivate on the fertile
spots on the mountain sides, which
they have cleared of trees and brush
wood.
Their dialect differs from the ordin-
airy speech of the Chinese, but the men
and many of the women also speak
and understand the Chinese language.
Both men and women answered in
Chinese the catechism questions that
put to them.

WHAT OUR MISSIONARIES ARE
DOING.

While instructing the pagan native
for baptism, the missionary also pre-
pares him to receive the benefits of
civilization.
Consider the matter of the home or,
at least we may say, the human hab1-
tation. Assuredly, nothing can be
more primitive than the hut of the
African negro, for it is merely shell
ter from the weather constructed Of
the branches of trees and the long
grass of the jungle. During the day
the cabin is unoccupied; but as soon
as the dusk falls, men, women and
children, sheep and goats, crowd into
the interior and all sleep there as best
they can around the fire that burns in
the middle of the space, the smoke es-
Gaping by an aperture in the roof.
Left to himself, it has never oc-
Cured to the savage that he might
build more comfortable house. When
he leaves his cabin in the morning he
never knows whether he will ever oc-
cupy it again Something may happen
during the day that will require him
to abandon this dwelling and erect an
other. A near relative may die, for
instance; he himself may shed blood
in quarrel; a serpent or toad may
be found in the thatch; or an earthen
cooking dish may be broken in the
preparation of a meal.
Any one of these occurrences will
necessitate the application of torch
to the hut and the erection of new
cabin in another locality. This custom
is founded on religious superstition
of the native; for this reason, even
the great pagan chiefs never think Of
building a more spacious or commo
dious abode
In preparing the savage for baptism
what does the missionary do? He cor
reefs the natives false ideas, teaches
him to distinguish what is good from
what is bad, frees his soul from the
ridiculous superstitions that have
hitherto governed his life, opens his
mind not only to moral and religious
truths, but to ideas of material prog
ress.
No absurd notions, thenceforth, pre-
vent him from building habitatioI
worthy of human being, from learn
ing carpentry and masonry and erect
ing a house wherein he may per
manently live. At our mission station
we have the satisfaction of witnessing
this interesting evolution from state
of savagery to a condition approach
ling civilization.

A LESSON FROM cEYLoN.

An Oblate missionary working es-
pecially among the children employed
in the cigar industries of Ceylon, In
dia, has met with success in the for
nation of boys clubs. He writes to
Catholic Missions:
True piety produces zeal. 1t is
not surprising then that our young
people have formed junior confer
ence of Saint Vincent de Paul. The
members of this conference are poor;
they have to toll hard to earn their
daily food and to aid in the support
of their parents; nevertheless, they
find means to help the unfortunates
who are poorer than themselves.
Frequently their zeal causes them
to exercise much ingenuity and
thought in order to execute what they
have set out to do Several of them,
for instance, have revived custom
of the early Cingalese Christians that,
in our day, had fallen into disuse-
namely, the handful of rice for the
poor.
"The custom is as follows: Every
time the mother of family cooks
rice for the household, she puts aside
a handful as an aims for the needy.
At the beginning of every month
members of our junior Conference of
Saint Vincent de Paul go about the
town collecting this rice. They have
a list of three hundred contributors
to the charity, and the rice they OBJ
tain supports about thirty needy fam
lilies.
Our young cigar-makers are also
Jealous for the salvation of souls
and to their efforts and prayers q
number of their fellow-workers owe
the grace of conversion"
The example of these uninstructeo
natives, who must make $50 cigars g
day by hand in order to earn fifteen
cents, could be proftably followed by
the children of more opulent coun
tries.

THE NATIVES OF THE NEW
HEBRIDES.

"The greatest number of our con-
verts practice the ordinary virtues.
Sometimes we find among them elect
souls capable of higher degree of
devotion" relates the Bishop Doucere,
S. NJ, recalling incidents of the sin
cerity of his flock.
One of our catechists, for instance,
young new Caledonian offered his
life to God for the life of dying mis-
sionary. The sacrifice was accepted.
Father Videl, who was at the point of
death, most unexpectedly recovered
and as suddenly his faithful assistant
became fatally ill. The good Bene-
dict, before his death, acknowledged
to the missionary what he had done
Assuredly, also, the natives who
leave the island where they were born
to come to our central school for cate
chists evince degree of heroism that
is most praiseworthy. Their self-im-
posed exile is long, and they must
often be lonely, for the members of the
native families are deeply attached to
one another. But these young people
undertake their studies with enthusi-
asm, in order that, later, they may as
sist the missionaries in winning the
souls to God.
We have named our central school
"Montmartre" (after the great bas-
ilica on the height overlooking Paris,
France) to designate that it is partic-
ularly the domain of the Sacred Heart
of Jesus.
This "Montmartre" gives me much
anxiety, but it also affords me great
consolation. Here we have eight pu-
pills from all parts of the vicariate.
have already mentioned their
piety. l wish could picture for
American readers the procession of
the Confraternity of the Holy Rosary
as held here, or, better still, the hom-
age to the Blessed Sacrament on the
first Friday of every month.
From this school have gone forth a
number of efficient aids to the mis-
sionaries, and especially some ten or
twelve married catechist couples.
The foundation of Catholic homes is
an important assistance to the work
of evangelization.
Just before left the New Hebrides
for short visit to Europe in the in
terests of the mission, ] had the hap
piness of receiving into the Society oil
Mary the first natives of the archipel
ago to give themselves to God without
reserve, namely, four young men and
three young girls who have conse.
Grated their existence to religion.

merely in reviving the Catholic Faith
in that country, but in developing it
so rapidly that, whereas on his arrival
there was but a handful of Catholics,
there were, at the moment of his death

over 10000 were converts from Protes-
