A PECULIAR TANGLE

International Law and Municipal Ordinances Are Involved.

HOW MEXICO WAS INVADED

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 31. The case of Jose M. Rangel, against whom the jury of the federal court In this city returned a verdict of guilty, seems to present a rather curious tangle of international and municipal law. Rangel was accused of having broken the neutrality law of the United States, by setting on foot an armed expedition against the republic of Mexico, culminating in the so-called revolution of r.)S. Through two Mexican witnesses Major Enrique Perez of the Mexican ktrmy, and Ramon G. Ysaguirre, collector at Las Vaces, it was shown at the trial that Rangel had been seen on the battlefield of Las Vaces and that Ae had participated in the fight. This evidence, however, in the opinion of Judge Maxey, was deemed insufficient for a conviction for the reason that the United States government is not responsible under international and municipal law for what a citizen or resident may do in a foreign country. Judge Maxey said: "If Jose M. Rangel, the defendant, merely went across the river (the Rio Grande) and joined in the fight, he had every right to do so, and I will so tell the Jury in my charge. The indictment is not for fighting in a foreign country, but is for beginning and setting on foot of an expedition in Val Verde county, Texas. In his argument to the jury, C. C. CreBson, assistant United States district attorney, admitted that the case against Rangel was largely circumstantial, and that it had been impossible for the prosecution to establish by witnesses or other evidence that the defendant had organized a military expedition in the United States. All that had been shown was that Rangel had participated in the fight. Notwithstanding this, the jury returned a verdict of guilty. It is the opinion of local lawyers that this may be considered the extreme of the limit to which this country has gone in the prosecution of alleged Mexican revolutionists. The unanimous opinion was that it would be impossible to convict Rangel since no case had been established against him under the indictment. The impression prevails that the ignorance of the jury trying the case and their failure to distinguish between municipal and international law, is responsible for the verdict. The great majority of the men were farmers, who probably had never-heard that municipal law does not extend to a case of this kind. In the meantime Judge Maxey has deferred sentence for several days and much speculation is indulged in as to the step he may take.

An Old Sailing Vessel. Modern steamships have a very brief life as compared with the old sailing vessels. The Princess Mary, which conveyed King William III. to England from Holland in 1688 and was then over seventy years old, lasted until 1827. This vessel was retained as a royal yacht until the reign of George 1., by whose orders she was sold. As the Betsy Cairns she sailed to the West Indies and back for over fifty years and then after another change of ownership was employed as a collier until Feb. 17. 1827, when she truck a rock and was totally wrecked.

Kaffir Boys Are Good Servants Humor in the Names They Choose and Sometimes in Their Cooking Squaws as Hired Girls in Nevada.

Philadelphia, Jan. It. "I never shall

forget the names my Kaffir boys took" said a western woman, who kept house several years in South Africa, where her husband was manager of a mine. "When the Kaffir boys come from the kraals no one ever uses their native names. As soon as they are brought in contact with the whites they take a white name. "This produces results which are not lacking in humor. Among the , house boys Knife, Fork, and Spoon

were common names. 1 able, onairs, Watch, Carriage and Matchbox were other names that I had in the house at various times. My butler rejoiced in the stately appellation of New One. It was when the slang phrase, 'That'3 a new one on me,' was going about. "One of my house boys took the utilitarian name of Ham and Eggs. The Kaffirs are very fond of rice when they learn to eat it among the whites, and our stable boy thought he had found the nicest name in the world in Rice. Hut the Kaffirs have the same difficulty as the Chinese In pronouncing the letter R, so poor Rice always called himself Lice. "One day the wife of one of the carpenters sent down to the compond for a new kitchen boy. The boy had heard one expression in frequent use at the mine. It struck him as euphonious and pleasing, and when she asked him what his name was he calmly replied 'Dam Fool.' " 'Why, I caiTt call you that,' said she, horrified; "I'll call you Joseph." He Liked 'Dam Fool' "The boy flew into rage. He said Dam Fool was a 'mmachlie gum,' a nice name, and if he could not have the name he would not work for her. He was so stubborn about it that she had either to use the name or to send him back to the compound. Eventually she kept him, and she told me that it was a relief to her feelings sometimes to have a kitchen boy answering to that name. "The Kaffirs are very imitative and will cook a dish exactly as they have been taught. But I never could quite bring myself to eat Kaffir cooking. It is apt to be wei"d. "I had an English housekeeper who did the cooking. Once she went down to Johannesburg for a week's vacation and her head assistant, Candle, was promoted to the position of chef. One night for dinner he brought in a dessert of baked custard. It looked perfectly conventional, but when I tasted it I thought for a moment that I was in the clutches of nightmare. "It transpired that Candle had flavored the pudding with Worcestershire sauce Instead of vanilla. They were of the same color, and the simple child of nature could go no further in his philosophy. Poor Candle was quite crestfallen at our reception of the dish." All the Hired Girls Squaws. Carson City, the capital of Nevada, is probably the only city in the country where the hired girl is a squaw. To the Carson City housewife every Indian man is Jim and every Indian woman is Sally. Neither Jim nor Sally can ever be depended on to work regularly, but as other help is scarce and high priced the occasional services which they deign to render are always welcome. When Sally wants to work she always opens the kitchen door without the formality of a knock and says, "Mahaylie (woman), you want work done?" Or simply, "Me heap hogadi." which means that she is hungry and wants to work for a meal. An eastern woman is ant to be frightened the first time this happens or the first time she looks up and sees a buck's swarthy face pressed against the outside of the window, but she soon learns that Jim and Sally are quite tame. Make Fine Baskets. Sometimes Sally conies shivering to the door in winter with a baby under her blanket. She is "heap cold" and wants to toast herself and the queer little morsel of humanity on her back at the kitchen fire. Sometimes Sally will bring an armful of baskets to sell at the door and then the eastern woman rejoices exceedingly, for she knows that she can pick up for a few cents baskets that she would have to pay dollars for in the Carson stores. The housewife likes to get a Piute Sally to work for her if possible, for she is cleaner, more industrious and

more adaptable than the Shoshone or Washoe Sallies. The remnants- of these three tribes have their homes up in the high hills above Carson, where no one else wants the land. They come down to the city every day, but they never stay there over night. The eastern woman in Carson never fails to look from her window at the sunset and watch them making their way along the trail, Indian file. In and out winds "the long life, across the face of the darkening mountain, always ascending, the last sunbeams flashing on their red blankets. Each Jim is invariably with his own Sally, the squaw always carrying the papoose, but the father sometimes shouldering a tired toddler. Up winds the long file to the brush tepees at timberline, where each tribe in its own place, separate from the other two, cooks its scanty food at its little camp fire and goes to sleep among the moaning pines.

ONE DEBATING TEAM

Earlham Will Have Oratorical Contests With Two Colleges.

ALBION AND WITTENBERG

The Earlham College Orotorical association decided yesterday afternoon to have but one debating team this year, but to debate two colleges. One team will be chosen to debate with Albion, Mich., and as a practice debate the team will meet Wittenberg college, if the latter will debate here. Some time ago the association decided to have two teams, one to debate with Albion and the other to debate Wittenberg or Hanover. Owing to the consensus of opinion among the debaters for one team, a motion was carried providing for such. Another important step taken by the association was the appointment of a committee to consider designs for medals for the several debaters. The idea of giving medais to the men who make the team is a new one at the college, and met with general approval. Harmon Maier, a junior at the college and one of the best artists ever attending the institution, will probably draw a design for the medal. A committee was also appointed to select judges for th3 debate with Albion.

Lincoln's Funersl Coach. That the first Pullman sleeping car. constructed in 18G4 in the shops of the Alton and Chicago and called the Pioneer, served as a funeral coach for President Lincoln will be news to many persons. Its cost was $18,000, which was regarded in those days as most extravagant, and as it was higher and wider thau the ordinary cars and so wider and higher than the clearances of station platforms and bridges when it was decided that it should be the funeral coach of the president many changes were involved. Gangs of men were set working night and day to cut wider clearances all the way from Washington (by way of New York and Albany) to Springfield, 111. Brooklyn Eagle.

TOO MANY BUTTONS

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 11. Woman's fad of having several hundred buttons down the back of her dress gave a fine chance to a clever thief, incidentally a man is repeating over and over again.: What's the use? A certain wifey in this city, not yet rich enough to have a maid, called up hubby over the phone to request him to kindly close his office for the space of a few minutes and repair to his home where he would have the pleasure of buttoning his other half's dress. However, hubby was extremely busy and forgot all about it. But the lady had to attend a party and when hubby failed to show up, she decided that her best would have to be worn anyway, even though she would have to ask a neighbor to do the buttoning. Of course, the neighbor was obliging. But it took some twenty minutes to finish the job. In the meantime events in the form of a housebreaker moved swiftly. With the dress carefully buttoned up wifey returned to her castle just in time to see a gentleman thief retreat through the back yard laden heavily. There is little left in the house that would attract the attention of another burglar. Hubby, of course, is to blame for it alL Moral: If your wife's buttons interfere with your business, give up business.

Society Is After Perfect Man New York Collegiate Alumnae Begin Autopsies on Family Skeletons for Improvement of Posterity.

New York, Jan. 11. Diogenes, who was forced to lay off this mortal coil without accomplishing his self-imposed earthly task the finding of an honest man has been gone one better. The Association of Collegiate Alumnae has set about to develop, cultivate or in some manner hurl upon the unsuspecting public a perfect man. To that end the association is to dig back three or four generations into the family closets, bare the skeletons, buried perhaps for years, and find out just what was the matter and what was its cause. The alumnae, composed of more than 5,000 members in varieties, is about to test the law of heredity by an investigation of its own membership and their antecedents from three generations or more. This was revealed Saturday at a meeting of the New York branch held in the home of Mrs. John H. Huddlestone, 145 West Seventy-eighth street. The secretary, Miss Dora V. Davis, read a letter from Frances G. Davenport of Washington, reminding the New York members that the annual meeting in Cincinnati recently had appointed a standing committee on eugenics to aid a national committee on eugenics, organized some time ago, to collect data to be used in the study of human heredity. The national committee is said to lie engaged in an earnest endeavor to determine, scientifically, the best way to develop and improve the human race. The members of the committee, as given by Miss Davenport, are Alexander Graham Bell. Luther Burbank, V. E. Castle, C. R. Henderson, A. Hardlicks. R. H. Johnson, V. I Kellogg, Adolph Meyer, J. Archer Thomson, W. I Tower, H. J. Webster. C.

E. Woodruff, Frederick A. Woods and C. B. Davenport. David Starr Jordan is the chairman. The letter added: "This committee has prepared family record blanks, in which information is asked concerning certain characteristics of a family for three or more generations. A specimen blank is sent herewith. It is hoped that each branch director will urge the members of her branch to fill out these blanks and thus aid in the collection of the desired data." The questions asked by the committee refer to place of birth, residence, occupation, diseases, etc.. of the recipient, her parents and grandparents. In Mrs. Huddlestone's drawing room were members of some of the best families in New York families that could trace direct American descent for generations. When the sample blank went around it was inspected curiously, and nine or ten signified their willingness to answer the questions. Others passed back the blanks without comment. Mrs. Huddlestone said many of the membeTs would probably be able to answer questions without looking up the data.
