T1IE FRANK LYXCHIN'IJ
We are informed in today's dis
patches thai tha coroner's jury
In the Leo Frank lynching has ex
onerated the officials of th© Mil
ledeville, Ga„ prison fit)in having
any share or part in the kidnapping
and death of the prisoner.
The Frank case was one of the
most inexplicable and mysterious
that ever happened in this or
any other country. The accused
was charged "with the death of a
thirteen-year-old girl, who worked
in the peucil factory o£ which lie
was the manager. The principal evi
dence agaiust him, and upon which
he was sentenced to death, was that
given by a negro ex-convict who
was employed as janitor iu the fac
tory building, and who was under
suspicion himself at one time of
having committed the crime. It was
Said that several of the
wouiea at work in the fac
tory also testified as to Frank's
depravity, but if so the evidence
was carefully suppressed from the
general public. That a jury com
posed of Southerners, who would
no j accept a ungm's oath
against a white man in a
chicken stealing case, should ren
der the verdict they did on the evi
dence offered is almost unbelievable
and would be wholly so had it not
been demonstrated otherwise in
this trial
The bitter and deadly feeling
against Frank appears to have been
only local and was confined to two
adjoining counties—Cobb, iu which
is si' uatecJ .Marietta, the former
horn? of Mary Phagou, and DeKalb,
i:i which is located Atlanta, the
city where Frank carried on his bus
iness aud where the murder was
committed. In other parts of the
statf, and especially iu the south
ern section, the feeling among the
better element has been that to
insure a fair and impartial trial
a change of venue should have
be«-n granted by the courts and the
case tried where the prisoner had
not already been convicted and
condemned to death in the minds
of almost the entire population.
Ucveruor Harris has announced
his intention to have a full investi
gation of the lynching of Frank,
and it is to be hoped that the per
petrJtors will be run to earth and
made to suffer the extreme peualty
for th» high-minded mauner iu
which they have outraged the law.

SOHCERERS IN PAPUA.
easy to Start In toe Business There
ar.d Terrify the Natives.
It is 110 very hard matter to set up
us a sorcerer in Papua. One says, "I
am ■; sorcerer." anil tbe thing is ao
eompllvbed. One may lie a greater
si-rcr'er or a lesser .sorcerer, to be
sure. but one is a sorcerer of some de
jree of evil merit at least from tlie
li '.ir that one says, "I am a sorcerer."
Thereafter the measure of success a
practitioner may win depends upon bis
skid in advertising and tile Ingenuity
■.if ids magical mcihods. What is new
and mysterious is everywhere mightily
impri -sice. and in Papua. as else
where. what a man noisily reiterates
about himself tomes eventually to bo
accepted as at least an approach to
the truth concerning him.
A certain Tai-imi. for example, hav
ing settled in a village of tbe Uira
river, said, "I am .1 sorcerer," and he
was forthwith n sorcerer. lie said, "I
lur. 0 an invisible snake with which to
work my will," mid bis fame began.
They said, "Where Is tbe snake?"
And he replied: "Have I not said that
the snake is invisible? How can I
show you an invisible snake?" And
his fame grew. And be added, "He
ware of me, if you please, for I am
very easily offended, and my invisible
snakes obey me."
Finding now that he was inspiring
terror indeed, Tai-imi created an es
tablishment to forward his conse
quence. Three menials were taken in
to wait upon his wants at home, and
two qualified assistants were engaged
to attend bis dignity abroad. To the
qualified assistants. In enhancement
of bis own importance, Tai-imi gave
invisible snakes. "They too are sor
cerers." said he, "and have invisible
snakes." and advert, with the large,
easy air of eve.y great professional:
"But the iuvtsi! e snakes of my as
sistants, of course are small and rather
stupid snakes. snake Is tbe snake
to lieware of."
Ingenious Tai !mi might have lived
long in plenty h.id he not grown so
intolerably extortionate hi the matter
«f pigs that tlif> administration got
wind of his ways and confounded his
success.
It was shown upon trial that Tai
imi had founded his enormously lucra
tive practl'-e upon notblns bettor than
a bald assertion.
"I am a sorcerer," said he. "with an
invisible snake." -Norman Duncan in
llnt-per's Magtt'ine.

QUEER HAWAIIAN NAMES.
Such as Mrs. Oyster and Tho Man Who
Washes His Dimples.
Tho natives of Hawaii are singularly
picturesque In their choice of names.
Mr. Scissors, The Thief, The Ghost,
The Fool, The Man Who Washes His
Pimples, Mrs. Oyster, The Weary Liz
ard, The Husband of Ivanela (a male
dog), The Great Kettle, The First
Nose, The Atlantic Ocean, The Stom
ach. Poor Pussy. Mrs. Turkey, The
Tenth Heaven, are all names that have
appeared In the city directory.
They are often careless of tho gender
or appropriateness of the names they
take. A householder on Berctanla
street. Honolulu, Is called The Pretty
Woman (Wahlne Malkal); a male In
fant was lately christened Mrs. Tomp
kins; one little girl is named Samson;
another. The Man; Susan (Kukena) Is a
boy; so are Polly Sarah, Jane Peter and
Henry Ann. A pretty Uttlo maid has
been named by her fond parents The
Pig Sty (Hale Pua). For some un
known reason—or for no reason at all
—one boy Is named The Rat Eater
(Kamen Ole Ole).
The Rev. Dr. Coan of Hawaii pos
sessed the love of his flock. One mom
lug a child was presented for baptism
whose name was given by the parents,
Makia; when the ceremony was fin
ished tho parents assured the doctor
that they had named the baby for him.
"But my name is not Michael," said
the doctor, supposing Mlkia to be aim
ed thereat.
"We always hear your wife call you
Mlkia," answered the mother. She had
mistaken Mrs. Coan's familiar "my
dear" for her husband's given name.
An old servant In Dr. Wight's fam
ily at Kohaln caused her grandchild to
be baptised in church. The Doctor
(Kaukn); that was Its only name. By
way of compliment to the early physi
cians, many children were named after
their drugs, as Joseph Squills, Miss
Uhubarb, The Emetic, Tho Doctor Who
Peeps in at a Door.
Names uncomplimentary, or even dis
gusting. are willlugly borno by their
owners; others convey a pleasing and
graceful sentiment Among the latter
are the Arch of Heaven (Ka Rip Lanl),
The River of Twilight (Ka Wla Llnla),
The Delicate Wreath {Ka Lei ma Lll).
The name of Lllu O Kalanl. the queen
now In retirement, means A Lily In tho
Sky.- -Youth's Comimnkm.
A Costly Dinner.

century borrowed 2,000,000 florins from
a rk h resilient of Ghent, and after giv

"Something very funny happened the!
other day," said O'Beetle to his friend |
McPoo. "I was downtown and found!
myself without car fare. Before I had
a chanco to worry over the thought of
walking a few miles In the hot sun
along comes Blnker, who writes Jokes.
I know htm well, and 1 had the nerve
to ask him to loan mo a quarter. Ho
told me he was glad to accommodate
me and handed over the coin."
"Is that all?" asked McFoo.
"It Is."
"Well, whafH the Joke?"
"Why, the funny part is that a man
who "writes Jokes should have a whole
quarter with him at one time."—New
York Times.
Swlse Have Mercantile Navy.
Long before Germany was to be reck
oned with as a sea power Switzerland
possessed a fleet equipped for warfare.
Eight hundred years ago on all the
larger Swiss lakes armed galleys were
maintained by the rival cantons
Skilled shipwrights had to bo Import
ed from Genoa for the construction of
(tleso vessels, some of which carried
crews of BOO men. The largest Swiss
flotilla was maintained on the lake of
Geneva when the inhabitants of Ge
neva were at war with Savoy. Since
the neutrality of Switzerland has been
guaranteed by the powers there has
been no need for warships on the lakes.
The Swiss, however, possess a mercan
tile navy, which carries a considerable
amount of trade over tho 342 miles of
navigable waterways in the republic.—

What She Had 8he'd Hold.
It was tho happiest moment of their
lives. He had Just proposed, and she
had grab—er—accepted him.
Then he took a tiny leather case from
his pocket and slipped a sparkling cir
clet on her finger, while she beamed
with pride
"I'm afraid it's rather loose, darling,"
he murmured. "Shall I take it hack
and have it made smaller?"
The damsel shook her head decid
edly.
"No, Rupert," she said calmly. "An
engagement ring is an engagement
ting, even if I have to wear it around
my neck."—London Telegraph.
The Other Way.
A compositor once set up tho word
"doughnut" #o that it read "donut"
"Don't you know how to spell better
than that?" asked the foreman.
"Weil," said the compositor thought
fully, "do you know it didn't look Just
right to me. I had a 'w' In there once
and took it out"—Kansas City Star.
