ExPATRIATES IN BRAZIL,
Condition of Southern Families That
Emicrated From This Conutry,


The presence OF thousands of Con-
federate veterans-prosperoa and
citizens of united national the
Gettysburg anniversary exercises
calls to mind the pathetic story of
the Confederate expartiates in Brazil,
says the Chicago Inter-Ocean,
Among the thousands Of discour,
aged and disheartened families who
had to take up a new life at the
close of the Civil War, some were
so dispirited that they felt they could
not face the new conditions. They
decided to leave it all and to begin
over again in new land
Brazil appealed to them, because
the plantation system was similar to
the one with which they were famil-
lar and slavery was still legal in
the land. So few of the hundreds
who were to follow went ahead as
an advance guard and selected site
about 100 miles west of the city OF
Sac Paulo. 1t was not long until
several hundred men who had
fought under Jackson and Lee and
Johnston were on their way to make
new homes under the Southern Cross
1t is estimated that at least 500
families from Texas, Georgia, Ala
bama and Tennessee located near
Sac Paulo between 1865 and 1870.
Some OF the original members of
the colony became dissatisfied and
returned 10 the south, but there are
eve nat this day some four or five
hundred of them, with their descend'l
ants, living in the colony. Not few
OF them have moved TO other parts
of Brazil. some have married Brazil
ians, some have pros pered and others
have just managed to get along.
These American colonists are now
Brazilian subjects, but few of them
actually take any part in the politics
of the land, and all are Americans at
heart They use the Portuguese lam
guage in their business and social
relations with the Brazilians but
speak English In their homes.
When Elihu Root visited Brazil
as Secretary of State, he stopped Off
at the "Villa Americana" as the lit
tie town where these American COL
onists reside is known, and later, in
speaking of his meeting with the
grizzled veterans and their families,
said 1t was the most pathetic Incl.
dent OF his trip Some of them asked
the secretary IL it would be wise for
them to return to this country, and
he said.
mo- stay where you are and be
good Brazl;ans. You will find the
states so changed that they will no
longer seem like home"
Such Is the pathetic story OF our
Confederate expatriates in Brazil

BEAT SALOON DANCE BAN.
Fake Weddings Held Nightly to De.
feat jersey Barroom Law

BY having fake wedding ceremonies
performed by professional brides and
bridegrooms, certain saloonkeepers in
Jersey City have been able to hood
wink the police for many months,
and have dances every night. So
stated Frank Hague, director of pub
lie safety, in a report TO the COM
mission government.
a crusade last winter against bar
room dances put a stop TO such eX-
cept in the cases where the dance
was the part OF a wedding celebra-
ton. Hague noticed several weeks
ago an unusual number Of applica-
tions for wedding dances poured in
from the saloons in the Polish quar-
ter. He investigated and found the
number did not tally with the actual
marriage licenses issued. He sailed
forth to attend several of the we'd
dings.
He found about fifteen young men
and girls whose nightly duty it was
to sit under fancy canopies in the
back rooms adjoining the various
saloons, and simulate the JOY and
shyness of the newlyweds. 1t was
worth rs cents a night to one husky
youth to be bridegroom" He had
been on the job about a month.
Kegs of beer and sandwiches for
sale at one Of the nuptial fetes con-
vinced the investigators of the fraud
being practiced on the police. The
saloonkeepers supplied wedding bells
of artificial flowers, white gowns for
the brides" and evening clothes for
the "bridegrooms." The principals in
the fake weddings were not required
to pay for their drinks, and the
brides were supplied with artificial
bouquets.
Brides" were picked out because
of their beauty Many of them be-
came real brides by reason Of their
fake positions. One girl received
more than 20 proposals from dance
hall admirers. She finally quit her
Job because she had to wash her
wedding fnery and replenish her nup-
tial flowers. In several instances the
mated pair sitting under the same
canopy did not even know each other.

HARD ON. AUTHORS.
Some Have Been Compelled to Eat
Their Own Books.

Some Have Been Compelled to Eat
Their Own Books.
Some authors have been compelled
to destroy their books in singulariy
unpleasant fashion. When Bernard
the Great, Duke of Saxony. learned
that he was criticized in some
pamphlets he had the author arrested
and after putting him in the pillory
for an hour, with one of the objec-
tionable works between his teeth,
made him swallow it.
In 1868 Philippus Oldenberger a
German jurist, published deserip-
ton of his travels through Germany.
A passage in this offended his liege
ford and Oldenberger was soundly
fogged and then ordered to eat
CODY of his book. 1t was only a duo
decimo, but he found the task beyond
his powers, and after five pages
pleaded successfully for a remission.
Cases have also been known OF
voluntary book eating. Ogier de Bus
becu states that the Tartars used to
eat books in order to acquire knowl>
edge, this being the only way in
which they were capable OF assim-
ilating printed matter.

SNAKE HUNTING IN EGYPT.
Gen. Kitchener Found II Divertir9
Way to Put In Some Idle Time.

Gen. Kitchener Found II Divertirg
Way to Put In Some Idle Time.
AS relaxation from the cares pf
his duties as British agent-general
of Egypt, Lord Kitchener has taken
up snake hunting. a few days ago,
when it wa sreported that 12-foot
cobra had been seen near the Gezira
Sporting clubs grand stand, the ma
tive police and keepers were ordered
to kill it. They made one attempt,
but fed before his snakeship. Lord
Kitchener heard Of IL and sent for a
snake charmer. On the promise that
the famous soldier would personally
attend to the snake when it should
appear, the native began his whis-
tling. Soon, to the horror of the by
ISLANDERS, not one reptile, but six,
crawled from under the stand. The
natives promptly bolted, but Lord
Kitchener, with four of his aides,
waded in with stout cudgels, and
after an exciting fight despatched
the snakes. Kitchener was so pleased
with the afternoons sport that he
has permanently retained the snake
charmer on his staff and has spent
many pleasant" afternoons hunting
cobras,
