The invocation ended, the diabol
ists marched slow 1; around the rooti
, uttering prayers for his aid—all pray
ers in mockery of regular forms ot
worship. Candles furnished the only
light and in their weird and uncanny
shadows the effects were ghastly, witt
the black-robed, masked figures march
ing slowly around, mumbling their in
carnations.
To the “God of Evil."
On the wall a scarlet flame show
ed weirdly through the dim light. 1
walked near it and read a copy of the
verses inscribed to “Kakadaimon," or
“God of Evil." written by George Syl
vester Viereck, a young poet of New
York.
I asked the man who had given the
order for the photographs if he would

understand that there were othei
groups of “Satanists" in New York
two or three. He added that in Crip
pie Creek. Col., ar.d in several othei
western mining town there were othei
groups He admitted, too. that these
had been arrested, and the fact ol
hi'ir existence was a part of the po
lice records out west.
“And what is the reason for al
this?" 1 asked.
“Wo worship the devil,” said he whc
hides behind the title of "Vicar ol
Hell.” “because we think there Is
beauty in such worship. We can find
none in the worship of God. The
God we have read of with his system
of mortifications and sacrifices com

Call Creed Logical.
“The devil is pagan. He allows us
joy. He believes in delighting the
- rises. He is the very embodiment of
the ideal of the Greeks.
“According to the average church
. member, what is beautiful, what ap
peals to us must be wrong. We be
lieve in the god of evil, who tells us
hat which is beautiful, that which
i points out what is highest in our dp
sires is right, not wrong. Is it not a
' logical creed','
Devil worship had its beginning it
ancient times when the Chaldeans ami
rhr- Assyrians formed a belief in per
j sonified evil. This grew up into the
diabolism of more modern times, when
' some few hold that evil was just as
necessary as good to effect ultimate
. happiness. So grew up the sect which
worship* d Satan, and his messenger,
Asiaroth.
Devil worship reached its zenith dur
ing the reign of ixruis XIV. in France
Both Mine, de Maintenon and Mmc. tie
Montespan, who held high place at the
i court of that profligate monarch, have
l been described as devout Satanists.
Devil worship then was carried to in
describable hounds, and in her later
1 years even Mine, de Montespan re
pented and entered a convent to expl
ate her sins. But her expiation did
not break up the sect. It was con
tinued in Paris, ihough in milder form,
and there today if has its followers,
just as it has now in New York.— New
York World.

Since UO* over -*.#«»», aliens
b»v- immigrated to this country, the

to their native land. But the inter
mixture at immigrants with natives
and tie ir descendants was negligible
ns a factor in census figures until aft
er the war of the Rebellion. T ntil
that time ib*- population was counted
as natives, colored and foreign born.
In ib** ninth census 11870) the class!

to native whites of native parentage
and included the descendants of all
white persons born in the Ignited
States indiscriminately.
Of the 26.000.000 aliens who have
migrated to this country one-fourth
came prior to the war of 1861-63. And
of th*- 21.000.000 who have landed
since that period over one-half arrived
| during the last fifteen years. Up then
to 1803 the major part of the immi
gration was from the British Isles,
Ireland principally. Germany and
Scandinavia, with a small but steady
j stream from France and Switzerland
and scattering groups from most other
; European countries.
Since that year the arrivals from
hose countries excepting Scandinavia
have greatly decreased and the bulk
■ of immigration has been from Italy,
Austria-Hungary and Russia, and
chiefly from the least advanced por

Pope's Cook to Retire.
Stephano Inchiestro, who has been !
pope's cook for 30 years, is about
| to retire. “I am not a great cook." j
[ he said, “for my master never al- i
: lowed me to make fancy dishes. He
1 is satisfied with the plainest of food.
; and eats less than ever now. When :
after his election to the Papacy, he j
sent me my certificate as chef of the '
Vatican kitchen. I thought that a new j
era had begun, but His Holiness lives
even more simply in Rome than he
did in Venice. Coffee and rolls is all
he will take in the morning. At 12
: o'clock I serve breakfast: Soup.
| boiled meat, and stewed fruits. Din
* ner consists of meat and vegetables.
! In winter the pope eats a good deal
of soup, made of dried vegetables.
He has no favorite dishes, save he
asks for polentins. a natural dish,
which he wants without the slightest
variation.”
CAREER OF ONE KENTUCKIAN
From the forests and the mountains of Ken
tucky to the position of secretary of stale at
Frankfort; from the state capitol to a grated cell;
front the grated cell to the very shadow of the
gallows; from the shadow of the gallows again to
the grated cell; from the grated eel! back to the
forests and the mountains of Kentucky; from the
forests and mountains to the halls of congress at
Washington. This in brief is the history of Caleb
Powers. He has been chosen as the Rt pubPcan
candidate for congress from his district, which
is strongly Republican,
Seldom does a human life conta.a so much of
struggle ter advancement from humble begin
nings. so much 01 tragedy and of pathos and so
remarkable a rehabilitation in public honor, Ca J
leb Powers will be a remarkabie fi^rnr. in Wash
ington. because of the fact that for eight long years he was immured in a
prison ceil fighting to escape life imprisonment or execution for a crime of
which half the people of Kentucky belli ve him guiltj and t!:«* other halt
believe him absolutely innocent.
the minds of newspaper readers will instantly go back to that tragic day
in January, 1900. when William Goebel was ruthlessly shot 1-iwn from ambush
as ho was walking toward the stale capital at Frankfort Goebel at: 1 W. S
.a\ior, the former a Democrat and the latter a Republican, had 'men oppos
’ng candidates for governor and each claimed «-tection. Taylor wa-. given
the certificate of election and in possession of the capital an 1 t'.t '» pewc-rs
was his secretary of state. As Goebel, whom th legislature r .. i • *. t had
declared to be elected, walked across the grounds hading to the a; he
was shot from the window of the other of the s*-or *tary of st;*.‘ Th- ur ier
created a national sensation and for many years the suite f Kentuckv w..s
split into two bitter factions.
Following the tragedy there came a succession of trials : the < rs-- *
which several men were found guilty of complicity in the murder and at !-ast
one Henry E. Youtsev—is now serving a life sentence.
Caleb Powers was tried tor murder and was sentenc- I to it: n:r.*-r.i
tor life. He appealed, and a second trial resulted in another convicion a;. :
a second sentence to life imprisonment. A third trial fallowed, a: th>
time he was sentence-1 to be hanaged. On the fourth trial the jury disagreed,
the majority being for acquittal.
Meantime eight years had rolled around and Powers was still in a rri'-in
cell at Georgetown. A petition containing the names of hundr -ds of thou
sands of persons both in Kentucky and elsewhere was preset te.i to the c ver
nor and in 1908 Governor Willson granted Powers a full pardon.
GOTHAM’S QUEEN OF SILENCE
___
Mrs. Isaac L. Ric\ the N* w York societ; w :
an who fough: single-handed to sup; res* ' • e
sary noise in the metropolis and who acc
plished so much through her determination, is
known as the Queen of Silence " Mrs Rice has
long been a sworn enemy of nois- . Her beau
tiful Venetian palace on Riverside drive is so
located that, until she began her battle and won
out her ears were continually ringing with the
shrieks of the switch engines on the railroad
tracks that line the river front and with the
clamor of boat whistles. Along the East river
are located two-thirds of the hospitals of the city
and this thoughtful woman realized what extra
suffering the sick must endure because of the
nerve-racking clamor. She began to gather evi
dence to prove her point and with the aid of Co
...iuu.a universal siuuenis. wno lOiiow-M tne noats and kept count, learned
that there were about 5.000 unnecessary but deafening shrieks each night
in the harbor. The harbor men were pleased to take umbrage at her inter
ference and proceeded to make life miserable for her till she secured law on
her side. During the night boats passing her home serenaded her with the
most horrible whistles and focused their flashlights upon the house.
Nothing daunted, the plucky woman secured an order front the secre
tary of commerce and labor forbidding unnecessary whistling on the river.
The harbor men persisting in their defiance, she had one man arrested, then
another, until finally the racket was quieted. This was only the beginning,
however. Mrs. Rice had gained the sympathy of all peace-loving citizens and
the Society for the Suppression of l nnecessary Noise was organized. City
officials were interested and the fight continued against all superfluous racket.
Peddlers, drivers, street organs, flat-wheeled cars and noisy youths all came
in for a share of attention. Zones of quiet were drawn around hospitals anil
at last peace reigned as much as possible in a huge city where a certain
amount of noise is unavoidable. The good work has been continued and has
spread not only to other cities in this country, but has been taken up in
European countries.
Mrs. Rice, who has been the principal fighter against the noise nuisance,
bearing the brunt of the contest, is th- mother of four charming girls, who
are now approaching an age where they have ambitions to reach out and
conquer, or accomplish something worth while. Talented young women
each has an especial desire to be fulfilled. Muriel already has become known
as an author. Her book of poems, published in English, has been translated
into foreign languages. Then there is Dorothy, who hopes to become a splen
did artist and put all her dreams and thoughts on canvas. Of a more prac
tical nature, perhaps, is Marion, whose chief interest lies in mathematics.
The fourth in the quartet is the sweet Marjory, who is a humanitarian and
animal lover and who will probably follow in her mother's footsteps, striving
to do some good for her fellow men. The mother of this charming family
calls her girls Molly. Polly. Dolly and Eollv.
J. A. TAWNEY OF MiNNESOTA
An insurgent victory that has attracted a good j
dea! of attention throughout the country was the
defeat in the primaries of Representative James
A. Tawney, who was a canadidate for renoniina
tion in the first congressional district of Minne
sota. Tawney is one of the most influential rep
resentatives in congress, is chairman of the com
mittee 011 appropriations. A most determined
tight was waged against his renomination and the
insurgents had the support and advice of Roose
velt, Pinehot. James J. Heney and other expo
nents of progressive Republicanism.
In his early days Tawney was a blacksmith
and machinist, learning the trades in Pennsylva
nia. where he was born in 1855. near the village
of Gettysburg. Subsequently he removed to Wi
nona. Minn., where he worked four years at his
trade, at tlie same time studying law. iu IV»L' ne was admitted to the bar.
was later sent to the state senate, and in 1S92 was elected to congress, in i
which he has since served.
Tawney is a dark, almost swarthy man. with a piercing black eye and a
black mustache, uow streaked with gray. When Cannon made him chairman j
of the committee on appropriations he did so because of the strength of char- i
acter and firmness which Tawney had displayed. Often the speaker referred
to him as the "man of iron." a not unfitting title. As chairman of the appro
priations committee Tawney was regarded as the watchdog of the treasury,
but he was one of the strongest stand patters in the house, and hence the
declaration of war upon him by the insurgents.
STARTED ‘BEEF TRUST’ QUIZ !
^- I I
Judge Kent-saw Mountain Landis of the Unit- j
ed States district court, in Chicago, who started j
the latest investigation of the "beef trust.” is the
same who imposed the $29,000,000 fine on the
Standard Oil company a few years ago. His fa
ther served during the civil war in the regiment
which was commanded by Judge Waiter Q. Gresh
am, secretary of state under Cleveland, and was
wounded in the battle of Kenesaw mountain.
Hence the peculiar name of Judge Landis.
When Gresham was secretary of state Judge
Landis, then a young Chicago lawyer, served as
his private secretary. Afterward he returned to
Chicago to practise his profession and was later
elevated to the bench.
Of the ten indicted meat packers, charged bj
the federal grand jury with violation of the Sher
man anti-trust law. seven nave given uuuus in me iuiai sum oi *jiu.uuu tor
their appearance for trial when the cases against them are called.
The fight thus begun against the meat packers promises to be one ol
life or death for the huge corporation, which, it has been charged repeatedly,
controls the meat industry in this country.
Judge Landis is a young man with an old man's manner. He wears long
hair, talks with a drawl and his language is picturesque.
