Slinn., November 30. ADuluth pine-land cxplonr recently returned from a trip through northern Michigan and Wisconsin reports a curious custom among the Indians which has been recent ly resurrected. While at a place called Uirteatseru, meaning "being where Cari bou die," near Portage Lake, he came across the entirely nude bodies of three Indian girls hanging lifeless from the branches of a tree. The Indian guide ! and hunter then told him a remarkable story of the events in connection wit tht-se .vounir souaws. The Indians of Birteatserus, fearing removal to White Earth Reservation, decided to try and evoke the bussing of the Great Spirit, and brought forth the old custom which has Ions been fortrotten. Three of the prettiest Iudi'in girls in the band of Chip pewas were t ;en invited to a feast, anc" after receiving the attention and decora tion of all assembled, were invited to partake of a draught of liquid whicl had been prepared by the medicine man of the tribe. Without any knowledge of tho deadly nature of the liquid they drank, ami in a few mi a utes were beyond hu:r: !ii assistance. For three days and nights the Indians tlun held a weird and exeit'::g s vrviees over the corpwF, and then l r.nie.l them with all pom: ar.dcer- cnv.KV-'.

MOST MUST CO TO PRISON. The Blatherskite Anarchist Con victed of Incltlngto Riot. Xkw Yoiik, Nov. 30. When the trial of Most wan resumed yesterday morning li defendant was called to the witness stand to testify in his own behalf. He denied that he had uttered the incendiary words attributed to him in his speech. Most Hd'td he was a communistic anarchist. "We do not light against any particular government" siid hu. "We do not es pecially light the government ot the United States; we are opposed to govern ment as such; we think that the power held by the government should be abolished. Wc do not expect capital istic classes will give up what thy pos sess peaceably. There will be tierce fighting on both sides." "Houibs and dynamite?" asked Xicoll. "Yes, on both sides." "Your idea is to conquer peaceably if you can, by force if you must?" "Wc believe force will be necessary in time." Xicoll asked Most as to his belief in a supreme being, and Howe objected. "Do you believe in the existence of a supreme being who punishes those who give false, testimony in court?" was re peated by Mr. Xicoll and objected to by Howe. Overruled. Answer I do not. On cross examination Most gave a brief record of his past lif.?, stating his erms of imprisonment at various times in Austria, Germany and England. The witness admitted having written several books which were namzd but a wr.uigle ictween the lawyers ensued when he was asked if he had written a book called "The Art of Revolutionary Warfare," or a book on dynamite and other explosives. He refused to answer on the ground that the answer would tend to crimin itu him. He also declined to answer whether he believed modern explosives were neces- asy to carry out his ideas, or whether he advised others as to the manufacture and using of explosives as laid down in tin book above named. The witness grew greatly exciteel when the questions were asked and declined to answer each on the same ground. The judge, in each . i rn - case, auoweti rue question. ui usi- cution offered in evidedce the previous indictment of Most and the record of his trial and conviction to show that the books in question were not introduced in evidence on Most's trial. Howe objected saying it had been introduced and exelu- ded. Most said Recorder Smyth had bitterly referred to it and had really sentenced him on it. Judge Cowing in his charge told the jury that Most was not to be tried for his past life nor for his belief, but for his speech in Kraemer's hall. "Free speech," said he, "does not mean that an individual has a right to slander his neighbor or to incite to liot. We throw open our gates to all to come in and enjoy citizenship, which we esteem a greater privilege than to be a king. We marvel that in this country, where every one is so free, there could be such men as anarchists, and ask, What more do they want? Revolutions have come from injustice, but never from justice." After going over the testimony care fully he said he failed to linel anything in the speech of Most, as he gave it at the trial, that came within tha statute The jury went out at 5:30 and reiurneel at 10 last evening with a verdict of guilty. Monelay was fixed as the elay for the motion for a new trial. Livwver Howe said the books which Most had written and which were improperly brought in by Nicoll hael caused the verdict. THE SIOUX CITY TRIAL- Witnosses for the Dcfenso Contra diet One Another. Sioux City, la., Xov. 20. The morn ing session of the court was was occupied by the defense in the Haeldock murder cas with examination of witnesses to es tablish an alibi. Witnesses contradicted each other almost as much as they contra dicted the state witnesses. Free! Mun chrath, who was convicted of manslaugh ter at the last term of court, was one of the wi nesses. The elay was largely occupied by elc fense with esamining witnesses who tes tified regarding an alibi. Hagenaus, the Milwaukee witness, testified that Arens do:f, about twenty minutes past 10 o'clock was talking in Shepherd's t esta :ir aut with a man with a dark moustache, and that he (Ilagenaus; afterwards shook dice with Arensdorf.

Jeweler's Weekly. Heredity of Cooil Habits. The common e-oneent ion of our relation to our ancestors goes no further than a general apprehension that we can inherit their vices. I am glail that it begins to enter into soci-d motives as a power, that as we are so wiil our children be. But I desir? to emphasis tho brighter side of the fact. It is not niy true that a drv.nkaril"s children are liable; t-j inherit a taste for intoxicants, and a rake's for unehastity; not only that oddities f structure, such as web toes or a Hapsburg nose, are passetl down in a family line, but :t is even more strouglj- true that all soils -t good habits can be inherited, and the beauty of a noble thought can be transmitted intc the filatures of a child. lr a homely es cmpJe we say: "Tom Slawson can't help paying his debts" not so long as he can rjet the money. His father and graneifr.ther were rigiilly honest. Sharp enough to stuai i Yes; but the bias is the other way. It is a drift in his blood to do the square thing. A Yankee cannot sit still. He is bewitched by ten generations of grandmothers that never were idle while awake. He twite-hes and tilts his chair, and moves about and whittles when he is stillest. That's the spin ning wheel, and knitting needles, and darn ing needles and carding combs that are in bi.s makeup. It's an extreme overdone case of industry. When a wheel goes too fast it gets on fire in spite of lubricating oil. That's tho way with these Yankees. They finally inhi-rit a bonfire and go to ashes. But it illustrates what I mean a man inherits in dustry, honor, good taste, common sense, as, much as he doss deviltry and consumption.! JI. ilaurice, iL D.f in Globe-Ihiiiitxu-a. .
