as has been ela’med by the comman
der of the Monroe and has made

JEWS AGAINST !
LITERACY TEST;
WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.—A strong I

sert it is aimed tit them almost ex !
clusively.

pense of the impeachment trial of

Heads Fell Into It.
LONDON.—Lieut. Gen. Sir Robert
Baden-Powell has presented to the
Museum of the Royal United Service
Institution an extraordinary relic—
the brass bowl used to receive the
heads of the victims of King Prempeh
of Ashanti. It was obtained in the
course of the expedition of The
j bowl, which resembles an ordinary
j English bathtub in appearance and
j size, is about five feet in diameter.
! On the rim are four small lions, rath
1 er well modeled, ai d a number of
! knobs, evidently intended as orna
! mentation. There is a gap in the
I continuity of the series of knobs to
i allow a space in which the victim
i may insert his neck preparatory to
j execution. Any great public occa
■ sion, says The Times, was seized up
j on as an excuse for human sacrifice.
There was the annual harvest festi
I val, at which large numbers of vic
tims were often offered. The king al
so went every three months to pay
homage to the shades of his ances
tors at Bantama, and on each occa
sion the death of twenty men over
the great bowl was demanded. King
Prempeh used to watch the sacrifices,
| seated in a chair, with the Queen
! Mother on a stool to his left.

Most of the murderous instruments

have caused many thousands of wid- j
ows and orphans. And she rolls in j
the wealth secured by means of her .
death-dealing devices.
