Manner-Affidavits Presented in
Denial ol Charges of Fraud and
Ilriherj— Bishop's Desire That a

„|| Coadjutor Admitted.
Iju'o Rock, Ark., Feb. 13.—The answer
0 f ' , secretary and the notification com
, ~ o£ the special council, diocese of
Arkansas, to the protest against the con
s ration of Archdeacon William Mont
gonnry Brown of Ohio as bishop coadju
tor of the diocese of Arkansas has been
made public. .
1; says: “In answering the protest of
jlr Whippie and others we do not deem
it n.ivssary to reply in detail to its state
ments and allegations. We are satisfied
ti, those whose duty it becomes to pass
ti it, will readily see from the docu
n r, and document itself the spirit that
u ■ ai.'S it. Its character is such that no
n chman, in our opinion, will for a mo
uvtit give it such consideration as would
cart upon the diocese of Arkansas the
stigma thereirf attempted. It is plain to
t> -• <n that the paper emanates entirely
from a few individuals acting in an in
dividual capacity. No churchman, aetua
n ,1 by the proper spirit, and who has the
g.ivJ of the church at heart, could be so
r. didously inclined as to use the lan
giinge therein contained toward the Bish
op f Arkansas and his fellow Christians,
elegy and laity of the diocese.
The answer asserts that the election was
in a regular and canonical manner, •'find
meets the statements In the protest in
th* order In which they occur.
The charges against Dean Hobbs of
Trinity Cathedral, the answer avers, were
actuated by “a manifested personal, and,
vi think, uncalled for malicious feeling
against the dean of the Cathedral.”
In reference to the Bishop's annual ad
dress in 1897, in which he advocated the
election of a man of wealth as bishop co
idiutor. it is stated that the Bishop en
tertained the sentiment before Mr.
Brown's name was ever mentioned as a
candidate. ■- *
The charges of fraud and bribery are
denied, and affidavits are produced to sub
stantiate the denial.
The protest concludes with a statement
of local conditions, “the narration of which
stirs in us the deepest Tegret.” In this it
is aiicged that Gov. Jones and Hon. Will
iam G. Whipple, chancellor of the dlo
< • -v, boasted before and after the elec
tion that if Rev. Dr. Gass of Christ
Church of this city were defeated, that
tin re would be no Bishop coadjutor in the
diocese of Arkansas, and that the Gov
ernor suggested in the Case of Dr. Gass'
defeat that the council could be Jjroken up.
‘•COLTS’* W ILL TRAIN AT W AVCHOSS
Probable Personnel for Season—Con
tract Between Hnrt anil AVilson.
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 13.—President
James A. Hart of the crack National
League base ball team of Chicago, after
visiting Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Savan
i;ih, Thomasville, Waycross, Jacksonville
and St. Augustine in search of a suitable
place for his team to do its spring train
ing, decided that Waycross was the best
of all. He has just closed a deal with
Manager Clarence Wilson of the 'Way
cross club for the use of the Waycross
diamond during three weeks of next
month and will return about the end of
first week in March and bring the
( '"Us to their spring training quarters.
Tin Colts trained five years ago at At
lanta and since then have not trained in
Georgia. Tom Burns of Springfield,
Mass., has been offered the management
of the team and President Hart in is
iss, ssion of Burn’s acceptance. Burns is
so well known, having iieen manager of
the Colts once before, that no introduction
io necessary for him in this connection.
The Baltimores are to train in Georgia
nis i, probably at Macon, though the two
bams will not play together until the
s. ison opens. The Colts will remain in
’raining here until, the first of April, and
t > n begin their Southern playing tour.
Probably eight games will be played in
• aarleston, Montgomery, Columbus, Au
r 'via, Macon and Savannah. Then the
bam will play its way north to St. Loujs,
" hero the opening struggles in the Na
tional League will take place.
I resident Hart is enthused over
1 training. quarters here. Much

National League, and during the past
o seasons he has been playing on his

"'ith Syracuse, in the Eastern League,
' was third in batting, with an average
173; and played in the outfield with an

Watch well the first symptoms of dys
pepsia and indigestion.
In these are the seeds of fututre trouble
planted in the System.
Disease and danger lurk in the vital or

The evidences of disturbance in these

A heaviness and lassitude seem to seize

things go on from bad to worse until the

ALL AUDIT AMERICA'S.
Higliivny Robber Sentenced— Mistrial
In nn Arson Case.
Americus, Ga., Feb. 13.—Shortly before
12 o’clock last night the adjourned term
of Sumter Superior Court came to a close
after a.busy session of two weeks, during
which time Judge Littlejohn disposed of a
large volume of civil and criminal busi
ness. On the criminal side Robert Hen
derson was sentenced to twenty years in
the penitentiary for highway robbery.
Jesse Hopkins, a prominent negro mer-
was on trial for attempted arson,
the firing of his store, but after remain
ing out forty hours the jury failed to
reach a verdict and late last night a mis
trial was declared. Both cases excited a
great.deal of local interest.
John Brown, colored, was chased twen
ty miles by three police officers yesterday
afternoon, but finally escaped in Flint
river swamp, followed by a volley of bul
lets. Brown stole a wagon here the night
beforehand loading the vehicle with stolen
meat, hay, harness and other articles,
started for his home in Macon county.
The officers overtook him near Oglethorpe
and captured the wagon and stolen goods,
though the negro escaped in a canebrake.
It is thought he is desperately wounded,
as the officers used shot guns at close
range and could not have missed him.
As illustrative of what can be accom
plished here by thrift and industry, the
success of a prominent and wealthy far
mer living near Americus is here cited.
Twenty years ago he started penniless, a
faiihful old negro and farmer slave, who
had acquired a small competency, stand
ing security at a local bank for a loan of
SSO. With this the farmer purchased a
steer and rented a patch of ground. By
thrift and industry he prospered, and
to-day he is worth perhaps $50,000, his
broad acres stretching for seven miles
along the public road. The faiihful old
negro prospered also, and has since rep
resented one of the lower counties In the
legislature several terms.
Farmers in the city yesterday form a
half dozen counties, said that (he acreage
planted in oats this year was larger than
in several seasons. They are beginning
to recognize the value.of this great crop,
and instead of planting “all cotton,” as
in years past, are devoting a goodly part
of their lands to oats and hay. Of last
year’s hay crop more than 500 tons of ex
cellent pea vine hay was sold by farmers
of this county to local merchants.
GAINESVILLE’S CANDLER CI,LB.
The Candidate to Open His Cam
paign AVith u Speech Before It.
Gainesville, Ga., Feb. 13.—The Candler
Club meeting at the courthouse last night
was a good one. Judge J. B. Estes,
president, and a life long friend of Col.
Candler, made a rousing speech. New
names were added to the list. The pub
lisring of the famous letter will do Can
dler good here. By request Col. Candler
will meet with the club next Thursday
night, and he will open his campaign with
a speech here soon. He will have a large
crowd. .
Sold Out Their Interest.
Tallahassee, Fla., Feb. 13.—William M.
Mclntosh, Jr., president, and Williani A.
Rawls, secretary and treasurer of the
Capital City Light and Fuel Company, an
nounce by a circular that they have sold
their entire interest in said company. The
new proprietors are prominent Philadel
phia capitalists, some of whom are not
strangers to Tallahasseeans, as they al
ready have over $50,000 invested in Leon
Heights.
Fire at Poulin.
Sumner, Ga., Feb. 13—It was reported
here this morning that Poulan had a fire
last night. All the business houses on the
north Side of Main street were burned, ex
cept John G. McPhaul's store.
The fire started in 10. F. Prevatt a store,
and he is probably the greatest loser.
The stores burned were mostly small,
with small stocks of goods.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY. FEBRUARY 14. ISOS.
HAWAIIAN CASE TO BE HEARD.
SENATE TO DEVOTE MOST OF ITS
TIME TO THE TREATY.
Senators in Charge of Other Meas
ures Unite Generally Consent That
It Shall He Given the Bight of
May—The Corhett Case Now Has
the Track, But a Time to Be Fixed
for Toting on It So ns to Make
NVny for the Treaty.
Washington, Feb. 13.—The Hawaiian an
nexation treaty will receive the greater
share of the Senate's attention during the
present week. The friends of
the treaty have succeeded in
securing quite general assent from
senators in charge of other meas
ures that the treaty shall be given practi
cal right of way until the senators who
want to speak upon it can be heard, and
until a vote can be secured which practi
cally will decide its fate.
The Corbett case has right of way, but
the probabilities are that an arrangement
wifi be made early in tile week whereby a
time will be fixed for voting on the Cor
bett case and that then the consideration
of the treaty will be allowed to proceed
without material interruptions. There
are still some speeches to be made in the
Corbett case, and it mqy be proceeded
with on Monday in ease no one is prepar
ed to speak on the treaty.
Senator Pettus has not yet completed his
speech in opposition to Mr. Corbett. Sen
ators Burrows and Alien also will make
opposition speeches, while Senators Hoar
and Spooner will address the Senate in
Mr. Corbett’s behalf.
On the treaty there will be speeches In
its support by Senators Gorman, Pettus,
Money, Lodge qnd others, while 'Senator
Pettigrew has not yet concluded his speech
in opposition.
It now looks as if the fortification ap
propriation bill would not be considered
this week.
The House will on Wednesday enter up
on the consideration of the bankruptcy
bill, which the majority of the judiciary
committee Jias reported as a substitute for
the Neison bill passed by the Senate at
the extra session last summer. Under
the order made the bill is to be debated on
Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday of
this week and voted upon on Monday of
next week at 4 o'clock. The substitute,
which the minority contend practically is
the old Torrey bill, including both the vol
untary and involuntary _ features,
will be opposed by the united Democratic
and Populist opposition, but if there is
no appreciable defection from the ranks
of the majority, the measure will piss.
The Democrats and Populists are both fa
vorable to the passage of a voluntary
bankruptcy bill, but have always vigor
ously opposed the Torrey and other bids,
including an involuntary feature, claim
ing its purpose is practically to create a
law for the collection of debts.
To-morrow is District of Columbia day.
Tuesday probably will be devoted to the
consideration of such business as is re
ported from the committee, and a call of
committees, and Friday, which was ex
cluded from the order providing for the
consideration of the bankruptcy bill, will,
under the rules, be devoted to private
bills.
THE TEXAS TRAIL.
“Peet” Matthews’ Original AVay of
Dealing With Cattle Thieves.
From the, Chicago Inter-Ocean.
“Peet” Matthews was the most valuable
ally of the ranchers In Southwest Texas
twenty years ago. Peet's position as re
gards legal authority was somewhat ano
malous. During the five years or such a
matter that he and his mustang scoured
the wastes of tall prairie grass, the skirts
of sage brush and mesquite between San
Marcos and the coast he must have
brought to justice over two score of cattle
thieves, skinners, branders, and purveyors
of stolen herds. Yet he derived his pow
ers solely as he often said himself from
“God an’ the white men o’ this neck o'
the woods.” In those days sheriffs and
marshals were well enough as far as they
went, but it was the general opinion that
they never “kivered the territory.” When
a citizen in top boots, flannel shirt, and
slouch hat was caught once too often with
a smoking branding Iron in his hand, or
a job lot of hides and horns which could
not be accounted for, or too many year
lings when the round up came, he was
dealt with in a way to guard against a
repetition of his offense.
Peet never bragged. He was a quiet
man, though “handy with shootin’ irons.”
He was a Tennesseean originally and did
some good service as a detective in Cali
fornia in 1849. He must have been in some
rough scrimmages, though he never took
the trouble to tell about them.
“It beats me,” he used to remark, “how
some fellers ud allers rather talk than
chaw terbaccer.” Peet made a specialty
of chewing tobacco and playing poker.
He combined the two to perfection. ”Ef
a feller has a chaw of terbaccer,’’ he was
once heard to explain lucidly, “he Jest
natchully hankers fer poker, which, ac
cordin’ to my lights, shets-off converse-a
tion, as it were, which might git to goln'
like a buzz saw, so to speak; whereas, on
the other han', a deck o’ cyards likewise
is suggestin’ of a chaw of tertaccer, be
kase as egsplained, aforesaid chaw of ter
baccer is insurin’ of peace an’ a sitoowa
tlon of quietude necessary to rakin’ in er
fair pot.”
Nobody pretended to understand this
speech, least of all Peet himself. It was
the first and only time he had ever put
two sentences together. The community
therefore regarded it as Peet’s master
piece and Peet accepted the verdict as ver
dicts upon masterpieces are usually ac
cepted—without inquiry as to their* under
pinnings.
As far as business qualities were con
cerned Peet had aliihe shiftlessness of the
Tennessee mountaineer. He earned a scan
ty living by his services as a sort of quasi
marshal for the ranchers. He constituted
a vigilance committee worth a half-dozen
sheriffs and their deputies. He never ac
cepted pay unless he chanced to be out of
money at the time, or supplies rather, for
money meant to him only the possibility
of so much “bacon an’ aigs.” Ills cabin
was soon filled up with trophies of his
hunting expeditions, bear skins, antlers,
nests, etc.
“Wing of s pa’trldge ’t shot onct,” he
commented, runnig over the catalogue for
a visitor. “H’m! I’a’tridgos is quare things.
I’ve seen ’em a-most human.
“Thet? Oh, thet’s a piece o’ the rope at
we used In swinging Bill Simmons. Pore
Bill, he wa’n’t to blame; Just born ornery.
Furder over’s Jack Simmons' Winchester.
Kap’ as a relict,” etc.
One spring it became apparent that
wholesale cattle -thieving was being prac
ticed. Old man Starring had a round-up of
one bunch, and fifty to seventy-five 3-year
olds were missing. “Roany’ ’Hatiiff re
ported 200 gone. The Todd boys had sus
tained heavy losses, as had three or four
other ranchers. Peet was notified at once.
“This here has got to be called off sudden,”
said Starring, “I’d soe my whole dumed
bunch sunk In the bottom o’ the gulf afore
I’d have ’em branded an’ stole by any of
them farmers.” Whenever trouble of the
kind arose suspicicn often fell upon set
tlers who had pre-empted land within the
limits of some ranch. These farmers per
sisted in planting potatoes, milking cows,
DR. WURTH'S OPINION
OF THE NEW DISCOVERY IN MEDI
CINE.
A Remarkably S.li’t*V*Af u 1 Remedy
for Dyspepsia* Indigestion mid
Stomach Troubles.
Dr, Wurth, in commenting on recent dis
coveries in medicine said: There is none
which is certain to be so valuable and far
reaching in benefit as Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets, the new stomach remedy; 1 say
far reaching, because ptfßft “ little realize
how important a sound stomach and vigo
rous digestion is to every man, woman and
child.
Indigestion is the starting point of con
sumption. heart disease, Bright's disease,
diabetes, nervous prostration, liver dou
bles; why is this so/ Simply because
every nerve, muscle and tissue in our
bodies is created and nourished from the
food we eat. If that'food is, by reason
of a weak stomach, compelled to lie for
hours, a sour, fermenting mass of naif
digested food, it poisons the blood and
nervous system, creates gas which < is
tends the stomach and bowels, causing
pressure on the heart, lungs anti other
organs and seriously impeding their ac
tion.
He says further, the point to direct at
tention is not 'the nerves, nor heart, nor
lungs nor kidneys, but the stomach, ihe
first cause of all the mischief.
The remedy to use for indigestion and
weak stomachs is not some cathartic, but
a remedy which will dig. -t the food, in
crease the flow of gastric Juice, absorb the
gases, and Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets
will exactly this result in ary
caso of stomach trouble, because those
tablets are composed of the digestive
acids, aseptic pepsin, Golden Seal and Bis
muth, pleasant to taste, and not being a
patent medicine, can be used by anyone
with perfect safety. I believe Stuart’s
Dyspepsia Tablets will cure any form of
indigestion and stomach trouble except
cancer of stomach.
Full size packages of Stuart’s Dyspepsia
Tablets are sold by druggists at 50 .cuts.
A book on stomach diseases together with
thousands of testimonials will be sent by
addressing Sluart Cos., Marshall, Mich.
and committing similar depredations, to
the disgust of stockmen.
The case tried even the sagacity of
“Beet” Matthews. Cattle disappeared
mysteriously from the range. Nobody was
seen to drive them away, and nobody was
oven suspected of such wholesale robhery.
Several searching parties were organized,
and finally a half-dozen of the boys caught
a couple of greasers making off with twen
ty head of yearlings. They were headed
south for the lino. Greasers never show
fight in the open field, and the two of
them bolted at once, kicking their spurs
into the sides of their mustangs and mak
ing ihe air blue with Mexican oaths. They
would probably have been lot off with a
sound whipping and a warning if it had
not been for the Young boys. Both of
these insisted that an example should be
made of the Mexicans, although none of
the parly believed thal they were guilty of
the extensive and systematic stealing
which had been going on for three months.
The miserable wretches were both swung
from the same limb of a live oak on the
banks of the Guadalupe.
Peet was opposed to the hanging, but he
took the matter philosophically. "It ain't
agoin’ to stop nary bit o' th' stealing,” he
commented, "but it hev relieved the com
munity o’ two more greasers.” The more
Beet cogitated the more at sea be found
himself for a plausible theory. His two
most valuable allies in the hunt were the
Young brothers. They were stalwart fel
lows, regular dare devils. They had only
been in the ranch business a couple of
years, and their herd was one of the
smallest in that section. Their ranch house
was built on a bold promonlory Jultlng
Into the Gulf. There Is a neck of land
some twelve miles long and from four
miles to a quarter of a mile wide, extend
ing into the Gulf at that point. It ends
In a high projection, 200 feet above the
water,and forming a perpendicular wall of
rock on the south side. It is called Hall's
b.utf. Here the enterprising brothers
had built a shanty and n few sheds. A
third brother, a boy of 18 or 19, had Joined
the two older ones, and they attended to
their ranch with the help of a greaser.
Peet had taken a great liking to the boys.
They were intrepid, and they played a
good game of poker. One day Peet was
lounging around the station on the Inter
national and Great Northern Railroad.
He noticed a half-dozen pine boxes on the
platform ready for shipment. Peet was
a natural detective. He had a passion
fdr finding out things. He carelessly kick
ed at the lid of one of the boxes a couple
of times, without budging It. He walked
up and down the platform then, uncon
cernedly, turning over with his tongue a
big black mouthful of tobacco. The pas
senger train for the North passed In a
few minutes and the crowd scattered out.
Peet lingered a while, sat down on the
edge of one of the boxes, and deftly whit
tled a hole in the lid with his pocket-knife.
He peered into the aperture for a mo
ment, whistled a bit, find cautiously en
larged the hoie. Then he shut up his knife
and the lines of his mouth grew tense. He
forgot to chew tolmeco for a full live min
utes. He went Into the little box station,
gossiped a while with the agent, and start
ed south across the prairie. A while after
nightfall he neared the southern extrem
ity of Ball’s bluff. A single light from
the ranch twinkled In the distance. Cu
riously enough, the mustang he ijode be
gan to show signs of extreme fear. He
snorted, crouched, and his body trembled
and twitched. Peet petted and coaxed
and reassured the animal to the utmost,
and the light of his pipe, which he had
started up for company, showed a look of
cunning and conviction ujsjn his face. At
last the mustang squatted hack on his
hind legs, shaking like a leaf. He refused
to advance a step further. Peet dismount
ed, threw the rein over the pony’s neck,
and set oft on foot toward the light. He
nosed around the sheds cautiously for a
while, crept along the edge of the bluff,
and peered into the water. Then he went
to the house and knocked on the cabin
door. He could see through the window
that the hoys were at supper.
•'Hello, Peet!” culled out Bob, the older
one. Ills voice was not quite gracious.
“Howdy. Peet,” echoed the other, “Jlst in
time for grub.” “Don't keer ef I do,” Peet
agreed, “I got dinged lonesome an' rid over
for a game o' eyards.”
"Hain’t heerd nothin’ o' them cattle
thieves?” asked Bob, as he dealt the cards
for a game of poker after supper.
"Yep; I hev diskivered somethin',” said
Peet, laying his hand on the table, with
the faces down.
"Now, Bob,” he went on, "l knowed yeh
wanted to ketch these fellers yerself. You
an’ me Is rivals in this here. Kf I win two
pots out o' three I perpose ’at I go ahead
an' nab 'em. Ef you win I give my han,’ so
to speak, to you, an' you nab ’em."
" ’Greed,” said Bob, with tv great laugh,
that almost took the roof off. He slapped
his leg and chuckled In high good humor.
Jim, the second brother, dealt the cards.
Bob won the first pot. In the second Peet
held three aces against Bob's pair of nines.
This left the contest even so far. Both
squared themselves for the final deal. Peet
drew a pair of kings and Bob an ace. Then
Peet discarded two cards and got another
king. Bob had worse luok and struck a
jack. The pot went to Peet.
"Better luck next time," roared Peet,
springing to hi# 'fbel; his eyes blazing.
“Throw up yer hands, ever cussed son of
ye,” he yelled, drawing a couple of six

up the three brother* at old man Star

of ranchers was called that morning:.
“Gentlemen.” said Peek, mounting a stump
for a speech of his life. “My s’pleions
was roused. I peeked into a freight box
at tile deepo. I see it was filled full of
hides. The clerk he tells me they air
shipped by the Young l>o.vs. It air a reg'-

The rest of the conclave showed less
compunction. The young brother was let
off with a promise to leave the country.
Hob and Jim were hanged. It Is estima

AN AN MEM’ KING OE JAPAN.
A Corenn Folk-Lore Tale of u Eisli
erlullll mid llis NVlfe.
Homer B. Hulbert, principal of the Gov
ernment Normal School at Scon!, Korea,
in tlie Springfield Republican.
On the Eastern const of Korea in the an
cient kingdom of Silla lived a humble
fisherman named Yango, with his wife.
Sayo. Every day Yango went down to
the shore to ffunt for edible seaweed which
he usually found clinging to the rocks
when tho tide went down. They led a
quiet, industrious life with no greater am
bition than to perforin faithfully the ord
inary duties of life and t 9 transmit to their
descendants an untarnished name. IV r
haps it was for this very reason that Prov
idence deemed them worthy of a higher
place.
One day Yango took his basket and rake
and trudged off along the shore until ho
came to a favorite spot of his, a huge
bowlder that overhung the water. He al
ways slipped off his shoes before ascend
ing the lock, for who knew' hut that there
might he some spirit connected with this
rock that had the power to do him harm
or good. So now lie took them off and
climbed to the top, where he was soon
deep in a fragrant pipe of tobacco and
dreaming of what he would do if the good
genius of the stone should deign to help
him. Suddenly the great lmwider began
to tremble and rock and then breaking
away from its foundations rose straight in
the air. The terrified Yango clung to Its
rough surface and tried to think what sin
he had comint!teed of which tills might lie
the punishment. Rut his conscience was
clear and so Ills terror gradually turned
to wonder. By this time he was high in
air and his novel ship was bearing him
away toward the East, as he could see by
the water beneath and the receding morn
tains of his native Silla. Ere long he found
himself nearing the Islands of JapHii and
before ho realised it he was landed gent
ly in the midst of a Japanese village,
whose inhabitants fled, of course, in ail
directions. It was a long time before nny
of them would venture back, but when
they did he gave account of himself as
best he could by signs. In spite of his
rough clothes, they would believe nothing*
less than that he had been sent by the
gods to be their king, so they crowned
him on the spot ard sent into all the sur
rounding country calling upon the people
to come in and swear allegiance to him.
Meanwhile, what had become of Sayo?
When she found that her Yango did not
return for the night she concluded like
a sensible woman that ho had wandered
along the shore so far that he had found
It impossible to return and had found
lodging at the house of a friend, but when
the next day came and no Yango .ap
peared, she became anxious, and set out
in search of him. She took the accustom
ed path down to the old rock and there to
her dismay she saw the shoes of her tru
ant lord. Dreading to climb the rock for
fear of finding him dead upon its summit,
she yet forced herself to do so. She was
greatly relieved, as well as greatly per
plexed, to find no one there. Where could
he have gone without his shoes. As she
stood wondering at this, Ihe rock once
more rose and carried her away east
ward. Her terror was as great as her
husband's until the thought came that
this might be the explanation of his
strange disappearance. And so it turned
out, for within the hour she was in his
arms.
Hut her strange departure had been wit
nessed by some farmers, and In nn Incred
ibly short time the story had spread
through the length and breadth of Silla.
It happened on the very next day that
after the story had been told the King
that the astrologers and' seers of Silla
came In a body to the palace and begged
for an Immediate audience with the King.
When admitted they made the astound
’ lng statement: “The sun and moon have
refused to shine longer upon Silla, but
have reserved nil their light for Japan.”
Indeed It seemed to be true, for an omin
ous gloom had already begun to settle
over the land, and waS deepening every
moment. Nothing can describe the con
sternation that reigned in the palace. It
was only by the strong personal efforts
of the King that sufficient order teas re
stored to consult concerning means for
propitiating those important luminaries.
The two strange events, the miraculous
departure of Y'ango and Sayo, and the oc
cultation of the sun and moon, connect
ed themselves very strongly in the mind
of the King, and. knowing not what else
to do, he dispatched an envoy to Japan
to hunt up the Involuntary exiles and
bring them twick if possible.
No sooner had this enVoy set foot on
Japanese soil thnn he heard on every
side th“ praises of the new king and
queen, the very personns he had come to
find. He hastened straight to court and
Is'sought them lo return with him or else'
their native land would be doomed to per
petual night. Yango, who seems to have
adapted himself to his changed fortunes
with remarkable facility, made answer:
“I would willingly go with you, hut It is
plainly the hand of Providence that has
placed me here to rule this people. How,
then, can I betray Ihe trust rejmsed in me
and thus openly oppose the will of heav
en?” Before the envoy could find words
to petition further the Queen, Sayro, said:
“I have here some rolls of silk; take them
to your king and tell him to make of it a
broad sheet and spread It upon the ground
and perform upon It the sacrifices to ihe
sun and moon If he does this they will
again give light.” The envoy needed no
second bidding, but posted back at hight
of speed to Silla, which he found sunk
in profounder gloom than ever. The land
was on the verge of anarchy. Breathless,
he hurried Into the presence of the King
and unfolded his tale. Sooa the nimfilo
fingers of the palace ladles were busy
cutting Ihe silk Into lengths ami sewing
them together. The royal cortege passed
out of the gate with almost unseemly
haste, by the light of flaming torches.
The mystic sheet w'as spread and the
King, his voice trembling with suppressed
emotion, pronounced the words of invoca
tion.
As the last word fell from his Ups there
came a burst of glorious light. The sun
blazed forth, blinding for an Instant their
unaccustomed eyes, and then there rose
from the assembled multitude a shout that
made the very heavens throb and palpi
tate. Not a vestige of the dreadful curse
but the smoking torches.
The whole nation gave itself up to uni
versal holiday. The ?*k Was placed In a
box, which was named “The King Box,”
and was preserved as a precious heirloom
of the realm. The grateful King confer
red ui>on the village from which Yango
and Sayo had so mysteriously disappear
ed the name of "Greeting to the Sun.”
