SuROcatina Pistols.

Says the Picayune: .'Suffocating
pistols, which overcome the person
hit but leave no after consequences,
now are being used by the police of
Paris. The weapons are very simple
and the municipal laboratory which
loads them, after preparing the
charges, is prepared to give instruc-
tions when needed The pistols have
been tried successfully, notably in
the case Of a lunatic who had in
jured several persons, but who was
instantly reduced to unconscious
ness by the discharge Of the pistol.
The chief of detective was brave
enough to first try the weapon on
himself, allowing his men to use it.
So far no III consequences have fol-
lowed the wound and the police Of
Paris are delighted with the new in
vention.'
If the suffocating pistol was con-
trollable entirely by the police, the
criminal and law breakers would
be at great disadvantage, but could
not the police be put out of business
with the suffoeating pistol?

Shot and Killed Her Seducer.

As reported from New Orleans
Thursday night shortly before 8
o'clock Miss Augusta A. Edwards,
aged 20 years, a stenographer, shot
and killed Geo. W. Riehl. When ar
raigned before Judge Fisher Of the
F@ City Criminal Court, Miss Ed
wards pleaded not guilty. This is .
story of woman's weakness in low
ing not wisely and mans perfidy.
Riehl was married and had wife
and five children, but he had made
Miss Edwards believe he was single.
When Miss Edwards discovered this
treachery she was dazed and then
on recovering, her love was turned
into all the hatred of a woman
scorned and hunted Reihl five days,
and as he emerged from an estab-
lishment on Garondelet street shot
and killed him.
Is Miss Edwards justifiable?

A Ban on American Dances.

The New Orleans States observes
that from Europe comes the news
that tt0 leading hotels of SWltzer-
land have posted notices forbidding
American dances. This was the re-
suit Of complaints filed by British,
German and other foreign tourists,
whose sense Of 1nodesty has been 50
severely shocked that they decline
to associate with those who indulge
in the degrading dances.
The proprietors Of those Swiss
hotels are to be commended, for if
American vulgarians behave in such
an outrageous and indecent manner
as to tinge with shame the cheeks
Of the sinners Of Europe, they can
expect no more than to be called to
account. The self-respecting .citi-

Ell KARUBAH TEMPLE
Formally Instituted by Past Impc-
rial POtentate Geo. ii. Green Of
Dallas-A Brilliant Display and a
Magnificent Ceremonial.

Yesterday was a gala day, long tt
be cherished by the Masonic frater.
nifty Of Shreveport and their friends
from Texas and Arkansas, from New
Orleans and from every section Of
Louisiana. This event had Ion,
been anticipated and eliminated il
success most agreeable to the fra
ternity and their friends.
The gathering of the Shrlners
the mobiles and the dignitaries, was
to assist and be present at the for
NAL institution of Ell karubah, or
ganized in Shreveport, with men,
bership Of representative itizens.
The ceremonial was conducted by
Past Imperial Potentate George H
Green of Dallas and his aids, espe-
cially appointed by Imperial Poten-
tate William E. Irwin for the oc-
casion, officiating.
Following the ceremony of lnstl-
tuting this temple there was given
a luncheon in the basement of tbs
Commercial National Bank, and ther
came the street parade headed by
Jerusalem Temple Band discoursine
splendid selections. Then came the
Arab Patrol from FL karubah and
visiting mobiles in automobiles, and
the candidates initiated in white
robes. The display in the parade
was strilsingly attractive.
The Shriners assembled at the
Fair grounds in the afternoon where
an interesting ceremonial was held
in the Coliseum.
The events of the day We're ended
last night. Each and all the visitors
and the local Shriners expressed
themselves we'll pleased. The cele-
bration was all that could have been
desired.
The officials of the El Karubah
Temple are James H. Rowland, illus
trious potentate; H. D. Adgar, chief
rabban; H. NJ. We'll, assistant rab-
ban; Z. H. Scovell, H. P. and proph-
ct; H. S. Weston, oriental guide; L.
E. Thomas, treasurer; A. w. Chees-
man, recorder; E. R. Bernstein, first
ceremonial master; H. A. Peterman,
second ceremonial master; Charles
F. Crockett, illustrious director; H.
X. Ramsey, illustrious marshal; J.
G. Bransford, captain of guard; ].
J. Lyon, illustrious outer guard; w.
R. Spann, first alchemist; 7. G. Hol-
man, second alchemist.
TO become a Shriner, as related to
the Caucasian representative, one
must be a York Rite Templar or a
thirty-second degree Scottish Rite
member Of the order of Masons. The
Shrine is a play ground. It's pur-

ENGINEERS and Firemen on Strike
For Higher Wages
NO FREIGHT TRAINS RUNNING
Passenger Service Partly Maintained
by kebreakers-Three- Quarters
of Bumper Potato Crop Awaiting
Shipment to Tide Water Points
Paper Cars Are Held Up

Bangor, Me-, Jan. 20.-Strike-
breakers are in the cabs Of the Ban
gor and Aroostook railroad engines
and an attempt is being made to keep
the passenger trains on time despite
the absence Of the regular $50 engin-
GERS and fremen who are on a strike.
Freight trains are not moving.
The striking enginemen and firemen
ask an increase in wages from II to
PA percent. For instance, the en-
gineers get So rs to 81. 80 per hundred
miles. They want II percent more.
They claim this increase is not more
than the scale adopted by all other
eastern railroads. They also want
shorter working hours and more COM
Portable accommodations at the ter
minals.
No violence is reported. The
strikers have already asked media
ton, but were told that the railroads
"pocketbook is empty"
1t is feared the breakers, not
experienced in operating trains on the
long grades and sharp turns, Of the
Bangor and ArOOstool system, cannot
move the freight. President Todd ad
mits it will be several days before
any attempt can be made to try tC
start the freight trains. He is sure,
however, that the strike breakers car
keep the passenger traffic on the
move.

cannot be kept going it will NEAR

markets of New England.
The big newspapers Of the country
will soon know if freight on the Ban
gOr and AroOstOok is not moving.
The Great Northern Paper companys
big mill is located at Millinocket. This
mill supplies many large dailies with
white paper. Every working day in
the year a carload of papers is hauled
out of the Millinocket freight yards.
Should freight traffic on the road
cease these paper carrying freight
trains could not leave Millinocket.
Sheriffs and deputies yesterday
swept through the towns and villages
bordering the lines of the railroad and
closed every barrOom and speak
easy" Selling considerable liquor
and leaving orders that any resump-
ton of business will mean trouble as
long as the strike of the engineers
and firemen lasts.
1t is feared that in the event of a
shutdown of the mills and factories
through the suspension of the freight
service the idle workers might become
riotOus.
At Millinocket there are large Ital-
ian, Polish and Lettish colonies, and
it is feared that in this and similar
mill places any shutdown might be
followed by the workers taking sides
with the men on strike.
Both sides stoutly maintain they
are certain of victory. In opposition
to the statements of the railroad Off
Gals the strike leaders say that with
in a week there will be no wheels
turning on the Bangor and AroOstook

"'Tis not good for man to live
alone"
That the old saying is believed in
by the village councillors of Duns-
laughlin, County Meath, Ireland, is
proven by their action recently in re-
gard to the many bachelors and maids
of the village. Some twenty or more
unmarried men of various ages, but
most of them of eligible marrying age,
have been occupying for years cot
tages under control of the town coun-
cillors. The maids of the village put
their heads together ana decided tAat
these cottages could accommodate two
as we'll as one. Many an unwedded
maid sighed for a home of her own,
while the recreant bachelors strug-
gled along with their crude house
keeping, making their own beds and
doing their own baking, cooking and
tea making. But they seemed to have
nc great desire to marry. They were
easy going. in some instances. while
In others they lacked the courage to
pop the question.
Long and earnestly deliberated the
town councillors when the question was
