SKELETONS RECALL VICTORUF WAYNE Railroad Workmen Make a Ghastly Find of Dead Indian Warriors.

(Palladium Special) EATON, Ohio, Dec. 20. Recalling the days of 1792 when this county wai a Add of battle between General Anthony Wayne unci the Indiana, three perfect skeletons of human being! have been found along the P., C. C. ft St. L. right-of-way, about four miles south of Eaton. The bones were unearthed by workmen employed by the Panhandle la tic construction of a long aiding between the Valley House grossing and the AnMoch road, and about one mile from the Old Trace road, hewed through the timber by Oeneral Wayne. Two are of fully developed individuals find the third is of medium size, probably a child. From the fact that on the bones of a hand was found a flint tomahawk, it its believed they were Indians of a tribe annihilated by Wayne. With the two larger nkeletona were found full sets of teeth. They were unearthed at a depth of about four feet. A quantity of charred wood was also dug up. Five hundred gallons fresh oysters for the holidays at Prices. 19-3t The Widow's Might.

SPANISH LAW. Th Snub It Gave British Cansul In Cuba Soma Years Ago. The haphazard character of Spanish law la well illustrated by the following case: Some years ago a young English sailor, accompanied by an American and an Irish sailor, went on shore at Havana. When returning to their ships they were attacked by Chinamen. Tiie American struck one of the Chinamen on the head with a stick, aud the man died. The Spanish authorities did not trouble to discriminate, bat sentenced the three men to two years Imprisonment The British consul, being unaccustomed to Spanish ways, took up the

i case of the Englishman very strongly. J The authorities thereupon, possibly to tcacb him a lesson, tried the men over I again and gave them twenty years each. The Englishman after three years in a Cuban prison, during which time his companions died of yellow fever, was transferred to Ccnta to serve the remainder of his time. After some years he and a fellow prisoner, a Spaniard. escaped, but they were recaptured. ! The food provided in the convict prison I of Ceuta consists of two meals a day of garbauzos chick peas occasionally flavored with a tiny bit of salt pork, a remarkably healthy if not appetizing diet, aud the Englishman mine out of prison Id particularly good health. After his twenty years" uuju.st imprisonment be married a Spanish woman. London Family Herald. HE SAW THE POINT. And For That Vary Reason Ho Didn't I i: i u .,-u "They" were chatting in the smoking room of a little Koninklijke PaUctvaait Maatschappij coaster, on a two mouths' run among the islands below the equator, when some one speaking of the Malay peninsula some one el.se said. "My Impression of the Straits Settlements can be siumiied up in a single picture a strong black man. standing In the center of a muddy stream, trying to split a rock with a shirt." Now this always provokes a laugh; It is venerable and infallible. Hut to my surprise, said Frederick S. lsuaui, the novelist, one of the smoking room contingent, on this occasion it partially failed. What was the trouble? Tbe delinquent, tbe one man out of seven who didn't laugh, was sallow, saturnine and English. "What's the matter, old chap?" asked tbe novelist. "Don't you see the point or are you waiting until tomorrow to wake up to It?" Tbe other man turned his bend wearily. "See the point?' he said sadly. "I should think 1 did. 1 ought to. I," tragically, "am the man who owned the shirt" Then we. knowing be had lived twenty-five years In the orient, became silent; our laughter censed. A sympathetic melancholy descended upon us. Englishman or not. we took him to our heart of hearts and made a brother of him. Baltimore American. Jokable Relatives. One of the curious social customs practiced by the Crow as well as by many other Indian tribes is the "mother-in-law taboo" tbat is to say, a man is under no circumstances per- ! mitted to hold conversation with his wife's mother. Another strange regulation is tbat relating to the playing of practical jokes. A man is not permitted to Jest with any one he pleases, but la limited to tbe individuals whose fathers belonged to tbe same clan as his own father. Within this group, however, practically any liberty is allowable. If a man discovers that a "jokable relative" has committed aome foolish or disgraceful act be can publicly twit him with it, and the person derided must not get angry, but bide his time for some favorable opportunity to retaliate.

CROWNED HIMSELF. kn Impromptu Coromony In .Which King Goorga IV. Figured. That was a curious sort of impromptu coronation in which his majesty King William IV. of England figured. Things did not go very well with Earl Grey's government after the second reading of tbe first reformed bill had been carried by a majority of one in 1831. and one Friday In April they suddenly got the king to go down and prorogue parliament In person. Somebody went off to the Tower to fetch the crown, and with a scratch body of attendants his majesty drove down to the house of lords. What happened there is described in Greville's memoirs. The king ought not properly to have worn the crown, never having been crowned, but when he was In the robing room he said to Lord Hastings: "Lord Hastings. I wear the crown. Where is it?" It was brought to him, and when Lord Hastings was going to put It on his head be said. "Nobody shall put the crown on my bead but myself.'" He put it on and then turned to Lord Grey and said. "Now, my lord, the coronation is over." The crown did not fit very well, we are told, but the prorogation was successfully effected. London Chronicle.

FREEDOM OF THE CITY. An Honor Which Had Its Birth In the Middle Ages. The ceremony of presenting the freedom of the city as an Donor arose in the middle aces, when such rigut was not acquired by mere domicile. No stranger could move into a medieral town and go Into business, his own gainful occupation or the civic activities. First he must become enrolled in the guild of his trade, then he had to undergo an apprenticeship of full seven years before be could be admitted to its livery. Then only and tbus only could he arrive at the freedom of bis city. Aa a reward for high deeds these medieval city republics sometimes conferred on such strangers as had served them well the freedom of the city by solemn act of the burgesses and liveries without the apprenticeship of servitude. Every such recipient of a city's freedom became at once a burgess, free to dwell, free to engage in trade, free to -ote for the civic rulers and to aspire to the civic chair. The key was the visible sign of this freedom the city gates, closed at sunset against the stranger and tbe foe. opened to the burgess- key at all hours, as the door of bis own home. Argonaut.
