0rassss and eronxss Of the Hindus.
The brass and bronze trade is kept
alive by the religious customs of the
Hindus, who are not allowed to use
wooden and earthenware vessels free
ly. and brass and bronze are to them
as important as glass. and china to the
westerners. Almost al Hindu utensils
are of brass, copper or bronze. and 1t is
the custom to present the female por-
ton Of a Hindu family with Il valuable
batterie de cuisine. made either Of
brass or copper. and a still existing
Hindu ceremony is that Of carrying the
utensils in a procession at the wedding.
The result Of this custom is that al
most all the platters. trays. bowls, nut
crackers and all brass and copper uten-
sils are most beautifully ornamented.
and there are lovely combinations OF
brass and copper and silver and cop
per. All Hindu women used to have
lovely brass caskets covered with or
lamentations called chellams. manu-
featured in Malabar, in which they
kept their jewels, but these are fast be-
ing replaced by the vulgar English
japanned dispatch box.

| hat was not found. that night, and
WAS ruined. The complainant wanted
Lucia brought into court, and late in
the afternoon Lucia was brought in.
| The charge upon which the respon-
dent was arraigned was that OF injur-
ing and secreting certain goods and
chattels belonging to another, to wit
the hat above referred to. Lucia adj
mtted taking the hat, but claimed
that she did not know to whom it be-
longed. and also that it was not ruined
After the matter had been further in.

court that the girl who had secretet
the heafgear should pay the owner o.

MILITIA CALLED OUT

To Prevent Violence to Jeremiah Craw
ley, VINO Attacks Catholic Church.
New Lexington. Ohio. Sept. r.
Mayor Cue called ont a local company
of STATE militia here, tonight, to pre-
vent a threatened assault on Jere-
miah CraWlev by citizens who We're
incensed OYER an attack made on the
Catholic church by Crawley in
speeches delivered, Wednesday and
Thursday nights.
Crawley. who is being held at police
Headquarters under guard claims that
lie is former priest and said his
home is in Pennsylvania. Crowds
which collected in the streets, today,
became so threatening that Mayor
Cue teegraphed Gov. Cox for troops.
Receiving no reply and fearing trou-
bile, tonight, the mayor called out the
local militia and ordered all places of
business closed,
The subject of Crawleys speeches
was "Romanism.' He called his dis
course an exposure of the Catholic
church.
Mr. Mlligan's statement as To his
transaction with me is correct. Having
agreed to let City hall five evenings in
November, ] at once learned more about
this lecture course, the lecturer and his
topics l remembered also that / had
read the foregoing news item linking Mr..
Crawley's name with mob violence in a
Western town. Convinced that Augusta
did not need an anti-Catholic crusade, |
told Mr.. Milligan that he could not have
City hall for this course of lectures, 1t
is my idea that a municipal building.
in which all our citizens share, should
not be used for the purpose of attacking
the faith of any church in this comnuni-
ty. Were the conditions reversed, my
Judgment would remain the same
