HABDY ULN TURNS DOWN The OFFER
Popular Executive Secretary Will Not
Leave Gov. SIatOn's Official Fam
iIy to Edit VaIdOsta Paper.

Major A. H. Ulm,
chief clerk in the executive depart
ment at the capitol and better known
to his newspaper friends as Hardy
Ulm, will not accept the position OF
editor of the Valdosta Times, which
it was understood was offered him
and which a week or two ago it was
rumored he might take.
Major Ulm has decided he will re-
main as a part of Governor Slaton's
official family at the capitol, and that
for the time being at least he Will
forego the lure of the newspaper
game
Major Ulm, who helped manage
Governor Browns and Governor Sla~
tons campaigns, is well known in po-
litical circles throughout the state,
and is equally well known in the
newspaper field. He was telegraph
editor of the Augusta Chronicle for a
long time, then went to New YORK,
where he had valuable experience on
the Metropolitan dailies, and later
was connected with the editorial de-
partment of the Atlanta Constitution.

CONG. PARK HAS BRAND new idea
Would Buy Land in Northern Mexico,

the territory of Mexico above the
twentieth degree of north latitude,
this land Ito be reserved and used as
territory of the United States for the
colonization of and the presumption
of homesteads by the colored races

He believes the carrying out OF
this idea would solve two problems
which are proving vexatious to the
United States. 1t would solve the
Mexican trouble, he states, and more
over help solve the negro and the
japanese problems as well, If Mex
leo will sell, all right; if she will not,

the territory. The bill names the

BURN WIDOWS IN INDIA
PRACTICE OF THE ANCIENT RITE
OF SUTTEE STILL PREVALENT.
News of Recent Case, in Which
GirI-Wife Prepared Own Funeral
Pyre, Comes From Calcutta.


For nearly a hundred years the
British have tried to suppress the an
cient Indian rite of "sati," or the
seIf-immolation of Brahman and 9TH
er high caste widows at the crema-
ton of their deceased husbands. But
from time to time a case is recorded
and it is believed that there are many
more cases which are never heard of.
From Calcutta there comes news
of a case of sati at Mymensingh early
in the month The night after the
death of a Babu named Monoranjan
his widow, girl of IA, prepared
funeral pyre in a corner OF her house
unknown to anyone, and rising early
next morning she saturated her
clothing with kerosene oil, lgn1ted
il and lay down on the pyre.
In a short time the whole mass was
blazing, but a female relative sue
ceeded in eXtinguishing the flames
despite the protests of the girl, who
was so terribly burned that she died
a short while afterward.
Suffice, or sati, has prevailed in
India for more than 1000 years. Its
origin has been the subject of much
learned controversy, some authorities
connecting it with the idea common
TO an primitive tribes that in the next
world the dead chief or king needed
the service or companiOnship of his
wives and slaves and his horses and
dogs for the chase.
In the case of princes and poten-
tates opportunity was afforded Tor
wholesale sacrifices, as when 300 wo-
men were cremated with the body
of Suchet Singh, of Kashmir, and
four wives and seven concubines per-
ished with the Maharaja Ranjit
Singh.
The method of immolation by fire
varied in different parts Of India. In
southern India the woman leaped in
to a fire pit in which her husband S
body had been laid In western In
dia she was laid in a grass hut sup
porting her husbands head with her
left hand. while she set fire to the
hut with a torch held in her right.
Along the Ganges she prOstrated her
self upon the already lighted pyre.
In Nipal, where the custom survived
the longest, the widow was laid be-
side the corpse, pile of infiammable
material was placed behind their
heads and lighted, and the bodies
were kept down by long poles of
green wood held by relatives on eth
er side.
