Th,e Rock Veddahs are stunted, hide ous and filthy; they live in secluded caves and holes; they eat hats and rats, and make their scanty clothing from the hark of trees, hut the Singhalese regard them as of the very highest caste, and it •would he no disgrace for a woman of good social position to marry\ a Rock Veddah. On the other hand, the very greatest disgrace that could he inflicted on such a woman would he to marry her to a Rodiya, although these last are a race distinguished for beauty, at least in youth, and g entle and innocent h y na ture. Tho Rofiiyas cannot enter a temple or a village; they are forbidden to t ill the soil or draw water from a well; they cannot build a house or divide a burden into tw o bundles; their shadow must not fall on a stream, lest it bo polluted; no member of another caste may touch them without disgrace, y e t any one may shoot them without blame. A ll this is supposed to be in consequence of the act of an ancestor two thousand years ago. who inveigled a king into eating human flesh. As a consequence the beautiful race is at the foot o f the social scale, the ugly and repulsive at the top.—T. W. Higginson in Harper’s Bazar. In the year 1836 the Kentucky legisla ture was petitioned to change the name of a man who thought that “Mr. Schla- fenhasenrichstichstafer” was an undig nified cognomen. A human hair varies in thickness from the 250th to the 600th part of an inch. In other words, it is more than ten times as coarse as the web o f a silk worm. IN DEATH’S P A T H W A Y MORE FOREIGN CITIES STRICKEN WITH CHOLERA. Tho Icy Hand of Death Still Gathering in the Inhabitants with Fearful Ra pidity—Over COO New Cases at Ham burg, 116 of Which Prove \Fatal—Many Deaths Deported. from Other Sections of the Stricken Country. B e r lin, Sept. S.—The report of the im perial board of health for yesterday shows that there were at Hamburg G28 new cases of cholera and 116 deaths. In Altona twenty-six new cases and three deaths were, reported. On the island of Wilhelmsburg, in the Elbe, opposite Hamburg, there were sixteen cases and three deaths. The report also states that eighteen cases aud seven deaths occurred at dif ferent localities in Schleswig; three ca-.es aud four deaths in Lunenburg; five cu.-os and two deaths in Magdeburg; live case-; and two deaths in Mecklenburg-Scliw eriu and one ca.-e and one death in Berlin. There were no new eases of cholera yes terday at Chm-lottenburg. Nur.-e Frau Angersteiu va.-, her.-a-lf attacked by chol era Thursday and is dead. 'C a u ses M u c h D i s c u s s i o n . W ashington , Sept. 3.—The .siatemcuti of I)r. Jenkins, health officer of the city of New York, published yesterday to the effect that President Harrison’s proclama tion directing a quarantine of twenty days in the case of all vessels carrying emigrants from Europe would be ignored, w as the subject of di.-cussion. in official circles last evening. “I)r. Jenkins is technically right,” saiil Attorney General Miller to a reporter, “when he says he is vested with power to hold any vessel as long as he deems it ne cessary under the statutes, as the general government has no power to enforce a quarantine on its own motion. “That was the conclusion reached in the opinion furnished by the department of ustice to the president on Thursday. In view of the unanimous approval which has met the president’s action in issuing his proclamation, I very much doubt that Mr. Jenkins will attempt to ignore or override it. Should he do so, however, the consequences, whatever they may be, must rest with him.” In conclusion Attorney General Miller said: “If Dr. Jenkins should decide that, the president’s proclamation should not be enforced, I would advise the summon ing of congress, to meet within ten days, to clothe the general government with the power it now lacks to act in such emer gencies as the present.” It is stated on the authority of a cabinet officer that the president will soon issue an advisory proclamation enjoining upon the authorities of cities the adoption of sanitary precautions and the enforcement of the utmost possible degree of cleanli ness so as to lessen the danger of cholera taking hold should it unfortunately be introduced into this country in spite of all the precautionary measures taken. This step, it is said, was discussed in cabinet meeting yesterday. No New Cases on the Moravia. N ew Y'or.K, Sept. 3.—The steamship Moravia, which arrived here Tuesday with a case of Asiatic cholera on board, is still being detained at quarantine with her 1 THE MORAVIA. load of immigrants. No new cases have been reported am o n g her passengers. The baggage has all been fumigated, as has also the clothing of the passengers and there is now less fear expressed that the disease will make its way into the city from this particular source. Cherbourg for New York after this date j will not carry emigrant passengers until further orders. Approves Harrison’s Course. London, Sept. 3.—The action of Presi dent Harrison in ordering that all vessels carrying immigrants shall be subjected to a quarantine of twenty days meets with general approval here. The St. James Gazette says that Eng land ought at once to follow the example of America, as many Poles and Russians and other objectionable immigrants, who would have gone to America if they had the opportunity, will now make England their stopping place. There is a widespread public sentiment in favor of immediate lestraint upon im migration. ______ Will They Fumigate the Mails. W ashington , Sept. 3.—The question as to whether or not it is neee-^ary to fumi gate the mails arriving in the United States from Canada as a safeguard against, cholera has given ri-e to such con flicting opinions that Postmaster General Wanamaker telegraphed the postmaster general of Canada, asking what steps in this direction were being taken by Cana dian authorities. A reply will probably be received today, after wfcieli Mr. Wana- maker will decide the que-tion. Will Hold Them Twenty Days. NEW Y ork , Sept. 3 .— A new spaper repre sentatlve called upon Collector H e n d ricks yesterday in regard to the stand taken by Health Officer Jenkins in the matter of the president’s quarantine proclamation. The collector said: “Our instructions are clear as to vessels coming from cholera ports. We will, hold them under these orders twenty days, unless a modification is received from Washington, whether the health officer says they may come up or not. Passengers will ba held with the cargo and none will be permitted to come on land. “As to vessels already in the harbor and not yet entered, although passed by the health officer I have telegraphed for special instructions, and until received they will be detained. I repeat the customs author ities will hold vessels from quarantined ports twenty days, health officer or no health officer.” Tho Cholera Scares Thom. Munich, Sept. 3.—Although this city is still exempt from the cholera plague the dread that it may come almost amounts to a frenzy. Yesterday evening an im mense throng of butchers, clerks, mechan ics and others gathered in front of the guard room and demanded that all traffic by railway be put to a stop. The mob was clamorous and disorderly and refused lo disperse when commanded. The po lice charged the populace and tried to scatter them, but the people were stub born and successfully resisted the police. A detachment of infantry came to the assistance of the civil authorities and drove back the mob, at the same time ar resting those who were the more demon strative. In the struggle a number of persons were wounded with sword thrusts and others had their heads broken. \Will Carry No Emigrants. N ew Y ork , Sept. 3.—The Guion line steamer Alaska, sailing from Liverpool today for New York, will not carry emi grant passengers. 'Due Inman line steamers from Liverpool for New York will' carry only first and second cabin passengers during the m o n th of September. Vernon H. Brown, agent of the Cunard tine, has received a cable from Liverpool stating that until further notice no steer- ige passengers will be brought by the Cunard line. The agent of the Compagnie Generale Transatlantique has received a cablegram j stating that all their steamers leaving Dr. Hamilton Ordered to 'Washington. CHICAGO, Sept. 3.—Ex-Mii-geon general of the United States marine hospital serv ice, Dr. Jolm B. Hamilton, left hurriedly for Washington yesterday, in response to a dispatch from Secretary Foster telling him to report for duty at Washington at once.

An effort to give the British Princess, which has been detained at quarantine several days, permission to pass up the river was defeated and tho steamer will remain there indefinitely. IS IT A DECLARATION OF WAR Tho Reading Not to Make Joint with tlie Pennsylvania. P h iladelphia, Sept. 3.—It was n .. 'ed late yesterday afternoon that the Rt. 1: Railroad company had determined to i •- a circular refusing to make joint rates with the Pennsylvania company for car rying coal. This is construed as a declar ation of open war and is said to be tho out come of the Pennsylvania’s recent refusal to advance coal tolls to the west. If the issue proves to be open war be tween the two companies as now seems highly probable it would be impossible to fortell the result. The coal trade will be the centre of the fight, but it may extend to other classes of traffic interchangeable between the two companies. The greatest excitement prevailed in financial circled during the day in consequence. TO BE HARMONIOUSLY UNITED. The Interests of the Arsnour Family to he Brought Together. Chicago, Sept. 3.—The Post yesterday afternoon said that the entire packing in terests of the Armour family, represent ing a capital of §.> 0 , 060 , 000 , will be har moniously united on Oct. 1.

K ansas C ity , Sept. 3.—A meeting of commercial telegraphers was held here yesterday. While there is not much op portunity to show that the convention has for its object the formation of a union, which will be made so strong that the Western Union will not be able to break it down in case of a strike. The new or ganization will b“ backed by the whole power of the Knights of Labor and in case of a strike they will see if the labor organizations can effect such a monopoly as the telegraph companies.

NO ATTEMPT TO RESCUE HIM The Authorities Feared His Friends Would Raid tho Jail, but They D i d N o t Do So—HalL’s Remark able Criminal Career. Norton, Ya., Sept. 3 .—Talt Hall, the Kentucky desperado, was safely hanged at Wise Court House, Ya., at noon. There were fears of an attempt at rescue, hut none was made. The murderer, who had been constantly under the influence of liquor duriug his last few days, made a speech on the scaffold. The drop fell at 12:34 p, m., and life was pronounced extinct seventeen minutes later. His neck was broken by the fall. Hall spent a sleepless night, and when he was called for breakfast he appeared very nervous and broken. Ho refused to eat, hut called for whisky. Father Luckie, his spiritual adviser, remained with him from 8 o’clock till the sheriff was ready to take him to the gallows. There were 3,000 peo ple iu aud around the village, but they were very orderly. He Had Killed 5Iiiiety-nine People. Talton Hall had a criminal record which has probably never been paralleled in the United States. He is credited with ninety- iline murders, and while this is jirobably an exaggeration there is no doubt that he is responsible for tho death of at least two scores of men. He was born in Letcher county, Ky., forty-six years ago, aud grew up with such desperadoes as John Wright, who is credited with twenty-seven mur ders, and “Doc” Taylor. These men joined Guerrilla Morgan’s hand when the war broke out and made themselves conspicuous for their deeds of reckless daring. When tho war ended they returned to Kentucky and inaugurated a reign of terror on the mountains. Murders were the daily amusement of tbe gang, and although they were frequently arrested the terror which they inspired insured their ac quittal when brought to trial. It was well known that any juror who voted to con vict any member of the gang would he marked by their friends and as a conse quence they always escaped. Some of His Victims. In this way Hall was acquitted of t,ho cold blooded murder of Henry Haggard in 1SG6. He killed Dan Pridmore in 1875 and was acquitted; a cowardly jury acquitted him of Nat Eaken’s murder in 1881, and he went free when he murdered his brother- in-law, Henry Triplett, in 18S2. He killed Henry Houk in 1883 aud was indicted, but no officer dared arrest him, and in 1885 he killed his cousin, Mack Hall, and laughed at the sheriff who tried to arrest him. Finally, ■n . July 14, 1891, he deliberately murdered Chief of Police Hylton, of Norton, Ya. By this time public sentiment was too strong for i im and he fled the country. He was captured, in Memphis and brought back for t .-.ui. He was duly tried and convicted. An appeal to the supreme court resulted in an affirmation of the sentence and the gov ernor refused to commute it. Hall’s last victim was Enos Hylton, a policeman, whom he killed in July, 1891, at Norton, a little town six miles from here, at the junction of the Louisville aud Nash ville and the Norfolk and Western roads. A negro known as “Big Six” had lost his Watch. He swore out a warrant for Miles Bates, a kinsman of Hall’s, whom he charged With stealing it. Hylton went with the negro to arrest Bates, and he found him walking with Hall on the railroad track. Bates submitted to arrest and gave up the watch and his pistol. Hall then demanded that Hylton should give Bates up, saying he would kill him if he did not. Hylton re fused, and Hall, pushing him away with one hand, fired at his breast. Hylton did not fall immediately and Hall fired again, but Bates knocked the weapon down and the bullet went into the ground. Captured by Strategy. Hylton fell then, and Hall and Bates walked slowly up the mountain and into the woods. Hylton died twenty-four hours 'later. Hall evaded arrest until the follow ing December, Then his wife was shadowed by two detectives, who finally caught him aud got him to go to police headquarters on a charge of breaking jail. When they got him they told Mm the real reason of Ms ar rest. Hall cursed them savagely and de clared they would never have taken liim alive if he had known what they wanted. The jury was out at the trial just twenty- seven minutes, and Hall took his sentence with perfect calmness. His verdict was carried to the court of appeals aud con firmed. He was resentenced here by Judge Skeen a month ago. He was cool, but his fingers twitched nervously about his man acled hands. His voice was firmer than the judge’s when he answered the usual question. In jail Hall spent, most of his time in writing his life, which will soon be published. He was allowed a ration of whisky several times a day. He spoke to his guards about his many murders and expressed for them lit tle or no regret. He joined the Catholic church, and always received the preachers who came to see him. Still he was bittei against his enemies, and he said that if lit were executed several of them would pay the penalty of his death. Its Capital Thirty Millions Now. N e w York, Sept. 3.—The Metropolitan Traction company has decided to increase its capital stock from $12,000,000 to $30,000, 000.

C leveland, Sept. 3.—A crowd of about 1,000 citizens attacked the stockade built by tbe monument commission in the southeast section of the public square yes terday afternoon, demolished one of tho gates and compelled the men inside to stop work. There is great indignation over the at tempt of the commission to locate the new soldiers’ monument in that part of the square, and remove the old statue of Com modore Perry. The city tried to stop the work through the courts, hu.t failed. Thursday the board of, trade adopted res olutions against the site and appointed a committee to plead with the commission ers to change the location. The commis sioners gave it out that they would have nothing to say to the committee. Tonight the Taxpayers' league will hold a protesting mass meeting on the subject. __________________ Tho Engineer was Responsible.
