F VOL. XII. | BILL ARP. | It seenns to nio that I had batter answer some of those interesting questions througn the far-reaching medium o' the press. Hero are three inquiries from among your leaders who wish to know something definite about these so-called dog days. Of course, i know only what I get from books, but a vast multitude have not the hooks nor access to them. Whether the advent and the influence of dog days be a superstition or a fait, all that is known should ho disseminated. Pliny and Herodotus both wrote about dog days 400 years before Christ. Ancient astronomers and modern n:u s rerPii ill - -l-thin!" In Sir! no n v <i* mi lignant influence when it arises iti conjunction with tlie sun. for it i.s the brightest star in the heavens ami Its gteat head added to the heat of the sun inerc-ists and intensifies the ten* perature as long as this conjunction continues. Hut this rising with the sun Is not a fixed day. It varies from 1 n 3rd of July to the 1.1th of August an 1 hence th^ almanac makers take tin average day and set down July 20th as tho first dog day. Some date it July l'4th. but these dates may miss It two or three weeks, it la generally believed that thi e dog days continue for foriy days, but in fact that is an Indefinite, period, for the conjunction of Sioius with the sun sometimes lasts for fiftyfenr days. Tho sum of the whole matter is that about this time of the year we may look for very hot weather an I showers almost every day, and io call it fodder pulling weather would he its good r. name as any. Whether Sirius has anything to do with it or not we can only surmise, but Sirius is the dog star end gave the. name. S'ritts is the very brightest star in the heavens, ami is in the nout l of a hig dog a constellation that tho ancient astrnnom rs named ranis major. The ancient Egyptians mapped off the starry heavens with imaginary animals and men, such as dogs, heats, dragons, hmis. ilrr ulos. Orion, eii.. and the nnmer they gave tR groups of stars have never been enang(?ll. There is li r ihvr ninl n liilln i!ni< a bit; bear and a little bear, a big cl"pper an' a little dipper. Right In ;tie tij) of the tail of the little Dear in a very n nablo star called Ibo 1* ie star, or North star, thai navigatova used to sail by rn-'l they called It Cynoskurons. which in Greek means a logtail. From ti 1 iname we have the void cynosure and so when we say of a beautiful woman ia an assembly that she v.as the cynosure of all eyes it Is equivalent t ? saying that she was the dog tall of tne concern. Just how the sailors gor to calling this star the dogtail is l.ot known, for it is really in ursa minor, tho little bo.ar's tail. Tho ancionts ga\w nainy names to the stars to fit. things in nature that they resembled. The word comet comes from cometus. The means a mare's tail. The word lunatic comes from luua, the moon, for the anyicnts brtieved that the mind w:w affected by changes in the moon. Those old Egyptians wire very imaginative ami superstitious, but they were very learned. How they got so f.v ahead of tho Hebrews. God's favorite people, we c< not know. Their astronomy, mathematics and architecture have never been improved. Tho scriptures tell us that Moses was learned in all the wis<!om U; tho Rpvntlnna T*\K "Cans:, thou bind the? sweet influences of Pleiades or loose the hands of Orion? Amos nails them the seven stars and mythology nanus them the seven sisters, but modern astronomers saV there never were but six and there are only six now. Henee the superstition about the lost Pleiad. Their "sweet iniluenees" aro said to tome from the fart that whenever set n in the heavens it is a sign of good weather and a safe time for vessels to sail, for pleian means a sail. It is liko the pretty word lialeyon that literally nuaas durh eggtime. for the eider duck never builds its nest onthe eiiffs by the sea until pleasant weather comes to stay for the season. Hence the word als the sea and eon an egg. ^ Hut I reckon thi" is enough about . dog days. Some noble person?I believe it was 1-ady Montague?said "There is no entertainment so cheap as reading and no pleasure 33 lasting.

Man hap been defined to be a bundle of prejudices. and these prejudices most generally come from the books, magazines or newspapers that we read. Little stories like "Androcles and the Lion" or "Damon and Pythias" have n.oldod the character of thousands of children, and just so have "Robinson Crusoe" and "Young Marooners" and the "Swiss Family Robinson" established the character of children of a larger growth. Whether a man despises or admires Napoleon depends on whether he has read ricott or Abbott. ? JHKxb'jir. A '* . .... . OR!

President Roosevelt's lotj ter :n full to Governor Durbin l'ol: lows: "Oyst r llay. August fi. 1903. "Governor Durbin: Permit me 10 thank you as- an Americ an citizen for the admirable way in which you have vindicated the majesty of the law by I your recent action in reference to lynching. I f el. my dear sir. that you have made nil men your debtors who | believe as all of the far-seeing men must, that the \v? 11 lining, indeed, the vc rv < \'h fence c>f th< republic. do sends upon that spirit of orderly liberty under the law which is as incompatible with mob violenc e as with any ; form of despotism. Of < ourse mob I violence is simply oil" form of anai'chv. rviil smsirehv is now ns it si 1 - ways !?as been. the handmaiden anil 1 fciv runner of tyranny. "I feel thai you have not only re| Hoeti <1 honor upon the State which for its gn.;d fortuno has you as its : Chief executive, but upon the whole ! nation, li in incumbent upon every man throughout this country not only io hold up your hands in the course von have been following, hut to show his realisation lhat the matter is 0110 of vital i t m-ern to us nil. I "All thoughtful men must feel the j gravest alarm over the growth of t lvuching in this country and especially ovvT the peculiarly hideous I forms so eftcn taken by mob violence when colored men are the victims, i on which occasions the mob seems i vo lay moat weight, not on the crime. ; but on the color of the criminal. In a ! certain proportion of there coses the i man lynched lias been guilty of a ! clime horrible bevnnil ilpscrin inn n rime so horrible that as far as ho himself is concerned he has forfeited the right to any kind of sympathy whatsoever. The feeling of all good citizens that such a hideous crime shall not he hideously punished by mob violence is due not in the least to sympathy for the criminal, j but to a lively sense or the train of i dreadful consequences which follow ! the course taken by the mob in exacting inhuman vengeance for an inhuman wrong. In such cases, moreover. it is well to remember that the criminal not merely sins against humanity in inexplicable and unpardonable fashion, hut sins particularly againsl his own race, anil does them a wrong far greater than any white man can possibly do to them. Therefore. in such cases the colored people throughout the land should in. every possible way show their belief that they, more than all others in the'eom munity, are horrified at the commission of such a crime and are peculiarly concerned In taking every possible measure to prevent its recurrence and to bring the criminal to immediate justice. The slightest lack of vigor either in denunciation of the crime or in bringing the criminal to justice is Itself unpardonable. "Moreover, every effort should be made under the law to expedite the proceedings of justice in the case of such an awful crime. But It cannot he necessary, in order to accomplish this, to deprive any citizen of those fundamental rights to he heard in his own defense which are so dear to us all and which lie nt the root of our liberty. It certainly ought to be possible by the proper administration of the laws to secure swift vengeance upon the criminnl, and the best and immediate efforts of all legislators, judges and citizens should be addressed to securing such reforms in our legal procedure as to leave no vestige of excuse for those miscnid* d men who undertake to reap vengeance through violent nntthods. "Men who have been guilty of a crime like rape or murder should b? visited with swift and certain punishment. and the just effort made lot the courts to protect them in thaln. rights should under no circumstance! lie perverted Into permitting any mgt# technicality to avert or delay their punishment. The substantial rights of the prisoner to a fair tr.'al of course must be guaranteed, ti3 you have so justly Insisted that they should be. but. subject to this guarantee?the law must work swiftly and surely, and all agents of the law should realize the w/ong they do when they permit ? vH 'Kl'llW1 ' - LL ' :dnesday, august justice to be delayed or thwarted for technical or insufficient reasons. We must show that the law is adequate to deal with crime by freeing it from every vestige of technicality and de lay. ' 'tut the fullest recognition of tic horror of the ritne and the most complete lack of sympathy with the criminal cannot, in the least diminish our horror at the way in which it lias heroine customary to avenge these I'imi"! m.l rit I'm i-fnn-n.i W ??i I ? ?*'.? ? I ?4\ ??l \ i> I li .1 L are already proceeding therefrom. It i;: of course. inevitable that where ? nji* since is taken by a :iv b it should frequently light on innocent people, and the wrong (lone in such cane to the individual is one for which there is no remedy. But even where t li?* teal criminal is reached the wrong done by tlie mob to the community its< if is well-nigh as great. Especially is this true where the lynching is accompanied with torture. There are rutin hideous sights which once < 11 can never he wholly erased from tl; mental retina. The mere fact o having seen them implies degradation. This is a thousand fold stronger when, jmstead of merely seeing the deed, the Irtiuin has participated in it. Whoever I in any part of our country has ever taken part in lawlessly putting to I drath a c:iminal hy the dreadful torture of fire, must \; rever nfu r have the awful spectacle of his own handwork s 'arrd into his brain and s >ul. j Me tan iKver again be the same man. This matter of lynching would be a Urrihle thing even if it stopped with the lynching x( men guilty of the in- ] human and hideous crime of rape: hi t as a matter of fact, lawlessness of ] this type never docs si >p and never u:n ,s? u> in such fashion. Every violent man In the community is ? n ( uraged by ev< ry case of lynching in which tli" lym hers uo unpunished to himself t 1-?_ the lav. into his own hitn*ls win never it suits liis own eanvi nience. In the same way t!i" use of torture by the mob in certain eases is sure i i spread until it is apnli? d more less Indiscriminately m other cases. The spirit of lawies ness grows with what it f; re.-: on. and wh'tt nt'bs with impunity 1\ i h criminals for one cr. se. thc\ are certain to In ;ln la I;.'; h i- d or nllcgcd e.imlnaU for i .!? r etrus. s. In the n < tit easts of lynching o . r thre'-fourths wtre not for rape at all, but for murder, at* tempted titui !' ; and even 1- -s hein as t fiYns <. More ve*. the history of fuse re. nt eases shows the awful fact that when the minds of men are habit tinted to the use of torture by lawless l;i> lb s to aveng e crimes of a peculiarly revolting description, other 1;> l<-5T bodies will esc f-'ree to a cotuplish crimes f an culinary type. Surely no pet riot can fail t > see the fiyrfui brut a ligation and d basemen; v. hich t!io indulgen. e of such a spirit and such practices inevitably port. no. Surely nil public men. all writers for ibe daily press, all clergymen, all ttp.chers. all who in any way have o light to address the public should with every energy unite to denounce such crimes and to support those engaged in putting them down. As a p?\ pie we claim the light to speak with peculiar emphasis for freedom and for fair treatment of all men without regard to differences of race, fortune, need or color. We forfeit the right to speak when we < ommit or c ndone such crimes as these of which 1 speak. "The nation, like the individual, cannot commit a crime with impunity. If w< are guilty of lawh ssn us and brutal violence, whether our guilt consist in a.tive participation therein, or in nure connivance and encouragement. Wt shall assuredly suffer inter on liecause of what we have done. The corro -stone of iliis republic, as of all free governments, is respect for and obedience of the law. Where we permit the law to be defied or evaded, whether by rich man or poor man. by black man or white, we are by just so much weakening the bonds of our civilization and increasing the chances ' ? its ovetthrow and of the substltu tion therefor of a system in which there shall be violent alternations of anarchy and tyranny.

Houston, of Fulton, was assaulted in the street here Saturday by .1. J. Spalding, an Atlanta Lawyer, who Ptruek Houston on the head twice with a heavy cane before bystanders interfiled.

It is .">7 years since the Romans and Mnrope assisted at such a function, in St. Peter's. The great basilica, popularly supposed ne\ >r to have been quit:: full, was overflowing. A bewildering mixture, of gold, red and silver was erected in front of each altar. Contrary to custom on tlifse ceremonious occasions there were no galleries and the h:. llira bore more ?.f its normal aspect. Oil the altar, which was dressed in \ late, stood the famous silver gilt candh sti'-Us and a ntagniilcf ni crucifix.

Many who started from tin bottom of tlie st 'ps outside were lifted off their feet and carried into the cathedral. it was a great human torrent lot loose. Tito compactness of the crowd ptoved to he the safety of those who were caught in it.

Aii< r their entrance tlie pc:>ple had further Ions; hoars of waiting and it is computed that the majority were on their feet together ten hours, iivo before the ccremonv ami nnnthnr five while it lasted. Those who had received special invitations. including tin* high oec 1. slastics who v ore not participating in the proccs-sion. the diplomats and the ltomnn aristocracy, had a. reserved entranco through the sacristy of St. Peter's. Prince Massino arrived aecomp .nied by his daughter-in-law. Princess Hentrlro. the daughter of Don Carlos, nnd they were given prominent seats, Duka Robert of Parma was the only other in em her of the royal family to attend. Among the aristocracy there was u great mixture of those Roman nobles who remain faithful to the papacy and those adhering to the Quirinal. Sir Thomas Ksmonde, representing the Irish parliamentary party, was received by two Knights of the Cape and Sword, one F. McNutt, an American, and conducted to the diplomatic ni losurc. After the preliminary "Tcmonics, which were grand beyond description, the triple tiara was carried before the new Pope with appiopriato remarks in latin. Cardinal Deacon Segna then thn ~ * -1 n 1 wiivm o mi le ?11111 Cardinal Dfiason Macchi placed on the v<?nerahle whito head tin? triple crown. At this moment the church was filled with the ringing of bells, the blowing of silver trumpets, the triumphant strains of the choir and the acclamations of the multitude, which no longer could he repressed. When comparative silence had bt n restored. Cardinal March 1 addressed the Pop' In l.atln as follows: "Receive the tiara ornamented with three crowns. Remember thou art the father of Princes and Kings, the rector of the world, the vicar on earth of our Sivior, Jisus Christ, who is the honor and glory of all centuries." "Amen!

The Pope was visibly fatigued. Strong as the Pope la physically, he supported the ordeal of his coronation today perhaps with less fortitude than did Leo XI11 wlu n he was crowned, although the latter was merely a shadow of a man. This evening when the pontiff received the Duke of Parma ho said to him: "Not counting the election, today was the most tremendous experience of my life. I must find a way to stop the noise In the Church. It is an offense against religion."
