He stopped with his sister, Mrs. Mary Yeager, on Broadway, long enough to eat a square, old- fashioned meal. It was a duck dinner prepared by a master hand, and “Jesse” says it was just what he needed to fill a long- felt want. One of Dr. Bruce Lichty’s match horses was shot, Sunday, to relieve it of its misery. Some one evidently cut the horse a deep gash just below where the collar rests on the breast. The cut was evidently deep enough to reach a vital point, or at least produce internal hemmorrhage. POPPING CORN. And there they sat, a poping corn, John Styles and Susan Cutter— John Styles as fat as any ox, And Susan fat as butter. And there they sat and shelled the corn, And raked and stirred the fire; And talked of different kinds of care, And hitched their chairs up nigher. And Susan she the popper shook, Then John he shook the popper, Till both their faces grew as red As saucepans made of copper. And then they shelled and popped and ate, All kinds of fun a-poking; While he haw-hawed at her remarks. And she laughed at his joking. And still they popped, and still they ate— John’s mouth was like a hopper— And stirred the fire, and sprinkled salt, And shook and shook the popper. The clock struck nine—the clock struck ten, And still the corn kept popping; Tt struck eleven and then struck twelve, And still no signs of stopping. And John he ate, and Sue she thought— The corn did pop and patter— Till John cried out: “The corn’s afire! Why, Susan, what’s the matter?” Said Sue, “John Styles, it’s one o'clock ; You'll die of indigestion ; I’m sick of all this popping corn— Why don’t you pop the question?” —Anon. ee Maryland Ranks Third in the Num- ber of Negro Voters.

Religious Devotees That Divided Spoils of Their Crime With Tem- ple—How Members of the Band Were Initlated—Their Palmy Days in Paris. The Thugs were under Vows to Kal Devi, the black brewed consort ot Siva the Destroyer. She is that terri- ble personage who appears in the Hindu Pantheon as a fierce but beau- tiful woman, riding on a tiger, or as a bideous, blood stained idol, garland- ed with skulls. Banded together as caste brothers, the Thugs hunted men to offer them to the deity of destruc- tion, and because she required a blood- less sacrifice they killed their victims by suffocation. The Thugs, not being cannibais, could not live by mere murder. So they robbed their victims and divided zhe spoils between themselves and the temples of Kali. As a religious body they were protected by the Brahmins and by pious but impecunious Rajas, who licensed and taxed them. It was an easy way for a ruler to increase his revenue and the victims were trav- eling merchants who would not be missed. During the many centuries of war and anarchy in India Thuggee flouar- ished mightily. Under Aurungzebe, to whom as a Moslem Kali was an ab- horred idol, it suffered a check. The Emperor ordered the Thugs to be strung up by the left hands in the jungle and left there to die. The Ban- ians, prototypes of the sentimental- ists who present notorious modern criminals with bouquets, banqueted the stranglers before the execution. These terrors of the Indian high- way are now extinct, like the sabre toothed tiger. About sixty years ago many hundreds were executed and the remainder transported or put to Work at tent making and other peaceful trades, In strict confinement. It was the writer's privilege a few years ago to visit one of the last of the world famous stranglers. He had been captured young, and sentenced to imprisonment for life in a central Indian jail. Nadhoo, so he was called, had been so long a prisoner that he was rather cared for as a curiosity, a museum specimen, than treated as a criminal. He had become an expert in weaving and when the looms were idle was by no means unwilling te talk of his ex- leriences as'a Thug. He had been Lorn in the caste, and devoted early to the service of Kali. His father led him to a secret place in the jungle end initiated him, by the wierd rite of the corpse and the dagger, into the freemasoniy of the brotherhood. He learned their signs, how to interpret the omen of the owl, the patter of the “ramawsi”’—the secret language of the craft. Being a precocious youth, as he said, he was selected to play the part of ‘talker,” or confidei.ce man. The old man illustrated with wrist and knuckle the act of tighten- ing the rumai, or handkerchief, round the neck of the victim. He told Low the travelers were buried while warm in the graves that had been prepared fcr them. For himself it was his des- tiny to be a Thug. “It is our cus- tom,” he said. “The potter’s son taies to the potter's wheel; the copper- smith’s to the tinkling of the ham- mer.” The garrotters who infested London in the ’'60s choked, but did not kill the late returning citizens. When chloro- form came into use in surgery, the underworld of crime, or at any rate its master minds at one appreciated its value. It was painless, it was sate— for them; the victim would awake ji a state of mental confusion—he could give the police no clew. The drug ve- came popular with the scientific crim- inals who operated on English rail- road lines, where the closed compart- ments secure privacy. Sometimes a subject died under chloroform by mis- adventure, but that might have hap- pened at the hands of a young med- 1cal practitioner. In Paris, however, the tricks of In- dian Thuggee have been closely fol- lowed. Look over the files of the Parisian papers of recent years, you will find accounts of men found dead in lonely places with leather cords around their necks and empty pock- ets. A robber dressed like a workman or petit bourgeois would approach a belated clubman and offer him for sale a ring, ostensibly picked up from the pavement. If Monsieur did not take alarm the robber’s partner, who had crept behind his victim, snared his mouth and throat in a noose. Then with a quick jiu-jitsu turn the thug heaved him off the ground on to his own back, like a sack of coal, and his partner stepped up and rifled Mon- sieur’s pockets. The latter was then dropped on the pavement with force enough to stun him and the thugs made their escape. To the Grave in a Cab. The eccentric life of the late Horatio Bright, wealthy retired manufacturer of Sheffield, England, was no more ec- centric than his funeral. Before daybreak an ordinary cab drove up to the door of his house, and his body, contained in a plain coffin, was placed in it A second cab carried a party of undertakers’ men, and they were driven over the bleak moorland to the village of Moscar, six miles away, where Mr. Bright many years ago erected a magnificent mausoleum franchise the black man is not given. & WEDDING Invitations at THE | Star office.

A Great Industry—Care Used to Pre- vent Cheating. During the year 1906 more than 5¢,- 000,000 packs of playing cards were printed and sold at a profit by manu- facturers in Great Britain, France, Germany and the United States. In- dustrially regarded, the playing card business is one of the best manufactur- ing adjuncts to the world of workers. As a contributor to the revenues of those countries where cards are pro- duced in quantity, says the Chicago Tribune, it is a gold mine. At the same time, however, the ex- pert player who is making a record at cards, or who has a desire to win money at the gaming table, finds little use for a card costing more than 25 or 35 cents a pack. His objection to the finer card is that it doesn’t ‘‘feel” right and shuffles too easily. For the card “sharp,” too, a card which has the standard back serves his illicit purpose of “marking” beter than the most elaborate of “art” back that can be designed in gold and colors. In- cidentally, too, the necessities which the players feel for a frequent renewal of the pack makes the item of expense for hand made cards seem useless in whist games, where some one of the four players is likely to ask for a new deck after two or three games at the most. Cards at retail may pe bought for 10 cents, 15 cents, 25 cents, 35 cents and 50 cents a pack. Considering the hand made cards that cost from 75 cents to $1 a pack, it is interesting to remark that what- ever elaborate departure may be made in the artistic effects of the back, the consuming public will have no change made in the conventional card face, which has been in use for more than fifty years. This card face, as an ex- pression of artistic design, is consid- ered far below the standards of the designer of the present time. - kor. the person who will afford a Bible in an edition de luxe up to $15, or even $20, the standard card face is quite enough to satisfy his artistic tempera- ment. Time and again some enterpris- ing card manufacturer who has made a hit with a novelty in a card back has tried to make the face of the card meet in artistic measure—and has failed. Not even the variation of the card spots will be tolerated; not even the ‘“‘squeezer” mark in the corners may be altered. The player's first wish is that he shall recognize a card the instant he turns its face, and to do this he insists upon the card face as has stood for half a century at least. That the back of a card shall not coil easily is one of the first desider- atums of the player. In many of the ornate backs that have been put on the market there is too mucn nught surface to carry the print of a finger. Then in the cardboard base there are {wo sheets of paper pasted together, 1.aking the hand made card too thick, v hile the double coat of enamel with its composition “slip” makes it too smooth for handling by the player, who does not stick always to this style of card. The cheaper cards are printed from a continuous roll of cardboard, the hacks printed first and the faces last, afterward covered with a coat of en- amel which has the “slip” introducea by secret process. The hand made ar- ticle is made virtually a deck at a time irom a flat sheet of cardboard. On this the backs are printed first upon the first coat of enamel, each color on back and face necessitating its separate imprint, and when these coats have dried another coat finishing tne card with enamel and “slip” is ap- plied front and back. Another drying process prepares the cardboard with its fifty-two imprints ready for the punches. It is in punching the card from the strips into which sheets are cut that the highest degree of precision must be reached. The card punch fits into the die as closely as polished, tem- pered, sharpened steel can be made to fit, and after the punch has been perfected the greatest care must be 12ken of it in preserving the edges, so that not the slightest abrasion or irregularity shall exist in a pack of cards after they are assembled. Only one punch can be used in cut- ting a pack. There may be 140 punches at work in the factory, but not one of these can cut a card effec- tively for the completion of a deck cut by another punch. Somewhere in the edge of such a card an uneven- ness would serve to identify it in the hands of a man who might try to use the pack into which it was placed. Punching the fifty-two cards of the deck with the same sharp punch, how- ever, the result is a smooth, even sur- tace as unintelligible to the touch as the faces or backs of the individual cards themselves. A Strange Stone, The Hawaiian Star tells of a re- markable stone brought to Honolulu from Kauby by the steamer Mauna Loa. It is what is known as the Ilili, the stone that breeds The stone was found in Koloa, Kau. According to the slatoments of the natives living in that section, if the stone is placed in a glass or jar and water poured over it and the jar be corked for a couple of days, the stone will multiply. In fact, it ought to we called the Deucalian stone, the means by which the word was repopulated after the deluge of mythological times. The stone will, it is said, reproduce itself in the form of five or six smaller stones. The Ilili has aroused a great deal of curiosity, and it is likely that some interesting experi- ments will be made with it. Teacher—Does the question bother you?

SEMBRICH’S WEALTH Operatic Favorites of a Generation Living at Their Ease—Others Obliged to Teach—Etelka Gerst- er's Case Unique and Pathetic— Divag With Brief Glory. The great popularity of Wagner's music has made it possible for Ger- man singers, such as Herr Knote and Mme. Ternina, to earn large sums in New York, says the New York Sun. But the German opera houses do not ray high prices to their own singers. when the intendants of these theatres ray $1,000 a performance, it is tp the Violettas and Lucias, not to the Brunnhildes and Elsas. German audiences are satisfied with their own singers in these Wagner roles. The singers of the last generation made their fortunes here, just as those of the present day have done. The noted sopranos, with the single ex- ception of Mme. Sembrich, who is re- puted to be one of the wealthiest of all singers, made their fortunes in the United States. So did the tenors, like Campaini, who died poor, through his own recklessness, and Jean de Reszke, who is still a rich man. Abbey & Grau paid Mme. Sembrich $125,000 and her expenses during her first visit to this country, which was her second year on the stage, but her fortune was earned in Russia. The American prima donnas earned thelr money in their own country. Clara Louise Kellogg, who sang from 1861 for about twenty-two years, has an ample fortune, on which she lives pow in great comfort. Her home at New Hartford, Conn., is not preten- tious, but has every comfort and Mrs. Carl Strakosh, as she is now, spends much of her time in travel. Mme. Eames has a large following here, but she practically sings no- where else. She has apeared at Monte Carlo, St. Petersburg, Paris and Lon- don, but she is now heard chiefly in New York. Clara Louise Kellogg, on the con- trary, enjoyed great success in Rus- sia, and for years sang regularly in Italian opera in London. Although her career was not long, she had plenty of opportunity to earn her fortune, as she sang during the season ot 1874-75 i125 times. Half as many ap- pearances satisfies the most indus- trious prima donna nowadays. One of her most popular contempor- aries was also her compatriot. This was Annie Louise Cary, about the most popular contralte that this coun- try has ever produced. She was born, 2s Mrs. Strakosch was, in 1842. Miss Kellogg, as she was called, made her debut in 1861, and Miss Cary sang for the first time a few years later, at Copenhagen. She was immensely popular in Rus- sia and in Brussels, where she fre- quently sang. For seven seasons she was engaged at the opera house in Hamburg. She sang a great deal in concert and oratorio. Ome of her most popular operatic impersonations was Amneris in “Aida.” Etelka Gerster is now teaching in New York, where, in 1878, she began a career that made her one of the most popular singers ever heard there. Ir her voice had not failed before she had sung less than ten years she would rot probably now be teaching. She knew no failures while she kept her voice, and she could have sung there for years, such a reputation did she make when she sang at the Acad- emy. As a beginner, Etelka Gerster sang in Venice in 1876, but before 1887 she had lost her voice and was com- relled to leave the stage. Mme. Gerster began to teach in 1896. During the intervening years she had given concerts in small towns but with little success. Her activity as a teacher may continue for years, how- ever, and that is one advantage she zains in having her career as a singer cut short. Mme. Gerster sang only at the Acad- emy. It was at the Metropolitan that she attempted to appear in concert after her voice failed. It was a long time before she could be persuaded that it was really gone. She main- tained for years, that it was in as good condition as ever, and that she was merely the victim of a cabal. Her case was unique in the history of op- era singers. Never before was a woman so famous with a career of only seven years. Christine Nilsson, who has not sung in public for almost twenty years, not only earned most of her large fortune in the United States, but invested it here. It was only a few years ago that she sold her investments in Bos- ton real estate and reaped a great profit on her money she naa origin- ally paid out. Alfred Rothschild dia much to invest her earnings judicious- up for her, just as he did in the case of Adelina Patti. When Nilsson made her first ap- pearance here, in 1872, it was in con- cert at Steinway Hall. The following two years she sang in opera, and she returned twice afterward to sing in concert. She was able to sing four times a week without trouble, which was the reason for the large profits she made. If the nations insist on fighting, as a last resort the czar should ex- plain to them in detail just how it feels to be whipped. The dogs of war are doing so much growling they will be hoarse long be- fore the fighting begins. FOR SALE. Finest Graphophone Outfit in Salis- bury Offered at a Bargain.
