Information has reached the pen
sion bureau of a big scheme started
to defraud the ex-slaves of the south.
A great many of these negroes have
undoubtedly been already swindled.
The scheme is based upon a bill intro
duced by Senator Thurston over a year
ago to pension ex-slaves. The pension
bureau has learned that agents of cer
tain organizations have been traveling
through the south and obtaining from
ex-slaves fees for the alleged filing and
prosecution of pension claims.
According to the Vienna corre
spondent of the London Daily
Chronicle, Dr. Schenk, professor at the
university of Vienna, and president of
the Embryologieal institute, claims
that, after 20 years of experiments, he
has discovered the secret of exercising
an influence over animals and men so
as to fix the sex of their offspring. He
declines to reveal it until he has
placed his discovery before the Acad
emy of Sciences, but he says the in
fluence depends upon the nature of the
food consumed by the female.
Prof. Dates, of the Smithsonian
institute, at Washington after years
of scientific investigation, declares
that science will put an end to
all crime. This is the calm judgment
of the deeply learned man who has de
voted his life to research. He an
nounces, not as a possibility, but as
a fact, that the murder in a man’s
brain can be removed by the surgeon’s
knife. If the diseased part can be
definitely placed it can be either cut
out altogether or treated so as to be
come healthy, when the victim be
comes a norma! man.

is said, appeal to congress for a char

At West Palm Beach, Fla., 400 state
convicts were let out at auction a few
days ago under four-year leases. They
were massed in the public square, most
ef them apparently half starved and
emaciated by illness, and were sold for
the benefit of the state. There were
both whites and negroes. The colored
men fetched as good prices as the
white men. Leading citizens and
farmers fought for the most promising
of the men who were being sold into
alavery. The prisoners were dragged
off, bound hand and foot by their new
masters, to serve out the time of their
sentences. _
A MAN HUNT.
Rehtuka Harfferer, Chased hr a Mat,
Kills Himself.
Fiirbarjr. Neb., Jan. •.—A mob of
several hundred men traced an assassin
to hia hiding place Wednesday and
forced him tocommitsulclde. Tbs mur
derer was William Baker, who on Tues
day killed hia brother and hia brother'*
wife. The man hunt was an exciting
affair. Tuesday the remains of (lie mur
dered couple were found in their res
idence near town. They had been shot
by an assassin, who tired through the
window. Not a clew was left, exeept
the footprints of the supposed mur
derer In a near-by field. The promi
nence of the dead couple brought out
several hundred persons, who formed
Into posses and hunted the whole coun
ty. The tracks of the supposed mur
derer were guarded until midnight
Tuesday night, when bloodhounds were
secured and put to work. They took
the trail at once, followed by the man
hunters armed with all kinds of weap
on*. Some were mounted, but many
were afoot.
The coroner's jury, hastily impaneled,
returned a verdict that William Baker
came to his death by his own hand after
murdering his brother and sister-in
law.
George and William Baker a few
years ago loved Jane Moles, a pretty
girl. George married her and thereby
earned the hatred of his brother. Wil
liam repeatedly swore he would kill
them and all the rest of the Baker
family.
LABOR’S APPEAL.
Committee of the American Federa
tion iMaea an Address.
Washington, Jan. 8.—The legislative
committee of the Federation of Labor,
by direction of the seventeenth annual
convention of the federation, held In
Nashville In December last, has issued
an address to the members of the Fifty
fifth congress. After calling attention
to the introduction of modern ma
chinery and new business methods nnd
the competition of convict labor, by
which wage-workers are forced into
idleness and want, the committee says
they feel that they have a right to bring
thtir grievances to the attention of the
law-making power. The address says:
"We therefore urge your earnest consid
eration of and your best efforts in enacting
Into law the following measures:
"1, An eight-hour workday on all pub
lic works. Such law to provide that all
contracts or sub-contracts for materials
furnished or work done must contain a
proviso that eight hours shall be the max
imum labor of any one Individual In any
one calendar day. Further, that It shall
be the duty of officials vested with the pow
er of signing such contract to withhold
their signatures until such proviso Is In
serted therein.
"2. In order to stop the indiscriminate and
dangerous use of the writ of Injunction, we
urge the adoption of senate hill 35.
"3. In order In some degree to lessen the
competition of convict labor, we urge the
adoption of a law to prohibit the transpor
tation of prison-made goods from one state
Into any other state or territory.
"4. We urge the adoption of a reasonable
law to restrict undesirable Immigration,
such law to he based upon an educational
qualification.’’
Teller Attack* Hepoblican Tart).
Washington, Jan. 8.—The feature of
the senate session was a speech de
livered by Senator Teller (silver rep.,«
Col.) regarding press reports that the
recent efforts to make it nppear that
Secretary Gage had tendered his res
ignation as a member of the cabinet to
l’resident McKinley were a part of u
conspiracy of the silver men to disrupt
the cabinet and create dissension be
tween the president and his advisers.
Senator Teller branded the publication
ns an insult to the advocates of the free
coinage of silver, lie was satisfied that
the presidenl and Secretary Gage were
in full accord upon the financial ques
tion. He attacked the republican party
because it was a party advocating the
gold standard, anil expressed his inten
tion of doing all in his power to defeat
the party in 1900, and to drag the pres
ent administration from power, because
the policy of the party was, in his opin
ion, inimical to the best and highest in
terests of the people of the United
States.
I.odk OiMlnnce Telephone.
Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 7.—A prac
tical test of the wonders of the long
distance telephone was made Thursday
between the Minneapolis office and
Lowell, Mass. Charles J. Glidden, pres
ident of the Traders' national bank of
Lowell, was in Minneapolis and presid
ed over the regular ineetingof the bank
directors in Lowell. The directors as
sembled at four o’clock, eastern time,
and Mr. Glidden called the meeting to
order anil the business was transacted
in the usual manner. Mr. Glidden
readily recognized the voice of each
director os they spoke into the long
distance instrument. The line was
made up of eight copper metallic cir
cuits, and was over 1,500 miles in
length. This is believed to be the first
business meeting ever held by use of
the telephone over so great a distance.

in a little boathouse adjoining his resi
dence in Wave Crest, L. I., Thursday

Awarded Six Cents.
New York, Jan. 7.—A jury in the
United States court awarded Anthony
Comstock a verdict of six cents in his
suit for $50,000 damages brought
against Dr. Montague It. Leverson.
Mr. Comstock claimed that his charac
ter had been damaged to the extent of
his claim by the following assertion,
publicly made by Dr. Leversou at Al
bany (N. Y.) railroad station: “Ladies
and gentlemen, this man is Anthony
Comstock, a notorious blackmailer, who
never earned an honest dollar in his
life.” _
Cora Is Kina la Kansas.
Topeka, Kan., Jan. 8.—Secretary Co
burn, of the state board of agriculture,
has completed a tabulation of the val
ues of farm products and live stock
marketed in Kansas during the past ten
years. The figures show that Kansas
farmers realized over $1,300,000,000 for
these products. Contrary to the gen
eral impression, wheat is not king in
Kansas.* Corn outranks it. In the
ten years the total value of corn has
exceeded that of wheat by $177,000,000.

an exhibition of coolncaa and nerve aa

in carrying out the sentence of the law.
The noose wns adjusted, the trap
sprung, the stout rope held and Dur

The neck was broken by the fall of fit*
feet,and ISminutea later the murderer's
body was cut down and placed in the
coffin.
Embraces the Catholic Faith.
Consistent to the last, Durrant died
professing religion. But he died, ac
cepting at the last moment, the com
forts of the Catholic church instead of
those of the Baptist faith in which he
was reared. Rev. Rader, a Protestant
minister, had arranged to ascend the
scaffold with Durrant, but the minister
would not say that he thought Durrant
innocent, and the condemned man de
clined to accept his services unless
Rnder professed belief in his innocence.
Then it wns that the once ardent Bap
tist turned to the Catholic church for
consolation, and called upon Father
Lagan, a priest who had frequently vis

DIRRANT'S CRIME.
Atrocious Murder* of Two lonnc
Women In a baptist Cbnreli.
William Henry Theodore Durrant. who
.was hanged at the state prison at San
Quentin Friday, gave his life In exchange
for the lives of two young women, who
were members of the church to which ht
belonged. While Durrant was convicted
of but one murder under the law. he was
held responsible by public opinion for the
murder of both Blanche I.amont and Min
nie Williams, and It Is felt that hls death
expiates one crime as much as the other
Blanche I.amont disappeared on April
3, 1S95, and was never seen alive afterwards

ed In the search for the missing girl, ard
among others was Theodore Durrant, who
had often acted as Miss Lamont's escort.
Ten days had passed since Miss Lamont
disappeared, and her friends had almost
given up hope of ever knowing her fate,
when a discovery was made which led to
the finding of Miss Lamont’s body.
The ladles of Kmanuel church were en
gaged In decorating the edifice preparatory
to the celebration of the Easter Sunday
services, when the mangled body of Minnie
Williams was found, almost naked, in the
library. A number of ugly knife wounds
and some rags that had been forced down
the young woman's throat told of the un
equal struggle she had made to protect her
honor.
The trial, which began on July 22 and
lasted until November 1, was one of the
most celebrated in criminal Jurisprudence.
Nearly 1,200 talesmen were examined be
fore a jury was secured, and six weeks
passed before the taking of testimony was
begun. The evidence throughout was cir
cumstantial, but when taken together
formed a chain so strong as to admit of no
reasonable doubt.
The case was submitted to the Jury on the
afternoon of November 1, 1895, after having
been on trial over three months. Twenty
minutes after they left the courtroom the
Jurors returned and rendered a verdict of
guilty In the first degree. The California
law gives the Jury power to fix the punish
ment of the criminal, but as no recom
mendation of mercy was made, Judge
Murphy, a few days later, sentenced Dur
rant to be hanged on February 21, 1896.
Then began a fight for delay, vigorously
maintained for almost two years, not even
ceasing with the execution of the death
sentence.

RUSSIA WANTS A LEASE.
Demand* fmm China 81mline Tilth
meal In That Aeearded Uermany.
London, Jan. T.—According to • ap«
•inl dispatch from Bhaaghal Russia la
tndcarorinir to obtain term* similar
lo Germany's for the occupation of Tort
Arthur and the KiaoToo* peninsulas
from a point considerably north of
Talien-Wnn.
The Ilonfr-Konp correspondent of the
Daily Chronicle saya: The Russian oc
cupation of Port Arthur completely
blocks the entrance to Peking, and It
is Imperative that the court should be
transferred to Nankin, the southern
capital.
It la learned on excellent authority
that In the event of Great Britain guar
anteeing the-new Chinese loan the con
cessions required will be the opening of
new treaty ports, open to all nations
alike.
The Times says that It understands
the terns of Germany's lease of Kiao
dhon to be 90 instead of 50 years. A dis
patch to the Times from Peking,
dated Thursday, says: Under the agree
ment between Baron Ileyking, German
nmbassadcr to China, and Prince Rung,
president of the tsung-li-ynmen, Ger
many will pay a nominal annual rental
for kiao-Chott. She acquires the right
to begin forthwith the construction of
a dock and a fortified coaling station.
Washington, Jan. 8.—At the cabinet
meeting on Friday the most important
matter considered was the eastern sit
uation. which was discussed at some
length. It appears to l>e the opinion
of the secretary of state and other
members generally that the gravity of
the situation was overestimated. Ger
many’s action, it was thought, had no
other purpose than the acquisition of a
naval stntion, and did not indicate that
she had any ulterior designs upon
Chinese territory other than for the
purpose stated. Great Britain and the
other powers, it was thought, would be
granted the same concessions Germany
had acquired, bnt. beyond this, the Eu
ropean nations would not seek to go.
The opinion was also expressed that the
interests of the United States In China
were not at present In any sense In
volved, nor were they likely to be.
BUSINESS LOOKS UP.
Tone of quiet Confidence Pervades
Nearly All Branches.
New York, Jan. 8.—Bradstreefs says:
“The year opens with a tone of quiet con
fidence pervading nearly all branches of
business, with encouraging activity in the
Iron trade, a resumption of work by many
thousands of Industrial employes In the
western glass Industry, a largely reduced
volume of business failures, as compared
with corresponding periods In preceding
years, and a general outlook certainly not
inferior to any previous year at this time.
Distributive trade has naturally been
rather slow pending stock taking, and the
return of salesmen to the field. While the
volume of distributive business Is no larger.
Industrial activity is a special feature un
confined to any one section, but specially
notable In the west. Resumption of work
after the holidays has been generally en
couraging in that section. Autumn weather
in the northwest checks distribution, but
collections are reported good. Sales ot
southern iron are large. Louisiana sugar
crop returns have been very satisfactory.
Nine-tenths of Florida's orange crop was
gathered before the late freeze, and cotton
Is steady and in good export demand. Wool
has opened up actively In some eastern
markets, and lower prices for cotton goods
have stimulated some demand.
“The holidays have exercised their ex
pected effect on export trade In leading
cereals. Wheat exports from the United
States and Canada for the first week In
January amount to 3,481.576 bushels, against
6,495,000 bushels last week, 3,381.000 bushel!
in this week a year ago, and 3,471,000 bush
els In the corresponding week In 1896. Corn
exports also show a sensible diminution,
amounting to 4,086,000 bushels last week,
4,819,0(10 in this week a year ago and 2,626,
000 bushels In the corresponding week ol
1896.'’ _

Terrible leMikSMi **• ***W
Heaters la Ikt »•»**.
"Nobody who h*» spent the winter In
the Klondike will ever want to try It
sgaln,” said Thomas Banner at the
mining bureau the other day. “That la,
unless he has a certainty of making
enough money to partially repay him
for suffering hardship* such as were
never endured In any mining camp on
earth before."
Mr. Harmer went Into Alaska two
years ago and aays that he left there
last Angust never to return. “I would
not go back there and remain five year*
(or *350,000,” he continued. “When I
speak of suffering I do not mean actual
bodily pain or sickness, because I think
that If a man goes there prepared as he
should and abstains from excesses he
can keep In reasonably good health, but
to live during the winter season in
those close cabins and see the horrible
selfishness and cruelty of human beings
toward each other, the result of the
rush for gold, which many of them,
even after they have secured it, do not
hesitate to throw away, is enough to
make one lose all faith in the fitness of
men to live on the earth. When I was
coming out I saw men refuse a nail or
the use of an ox or even the use of a tin
cup to men who were in need of these
trifles. Every man there seems to be
afraid of his fellows—afraid that they
will steal something or have better suc
cess in finding gold. 1 spent last win
ter from September to April with eight
other men, we having gone together to
save labor in keeping warm.
“Each of us had a claim or a part of a
claim, and we went out every day that
the weather was not too cold to work
our claims. In melting the frozen
gravel we nearly always found one or
more nuggets in the dirt, but during
the entire eight months that we worked
together I do not remember of a single
occasion when one of us acknowledged
that he had found any gold. Each of
us had a buckskin bag that was carried
on the person, and (he ingenuity of nil
was taxed to the utmost to devise some
scheme whereby that bag could be con
cealed from the rest. There was no
stealing in the camp. A man caught
stealing would have had a rough time
of it, but every roan seemed to think
that every other man wanted to steal
from him. and I do not think that a
single one of us knew where any other
man carried his gold. I remember one
night lying awake and seeing five men
of pur company at different times put
ting away the nuggets found during
the day, and in every case, after put
ting them in the little buckskin bag,
they would thrust the bag under the
blankets, nnd I could see from the
tumbling that they were concealing it
about their persons. We always had a
man sitting up to keep the fires, and
the men were afraid that he might see
where they put their gold. There was
no absolute cruelty, but the total in
difference to the welfare that charac
terized everybody was simply horrible.
1 was in the cabin one day reading with
two men, one ot wnom was sick, me
rest being at work. The sick man had a
terrible cold and fever, and asked one
of us to hand him a drink.
“The other man went over to the
bucket in which we kept our melted
snow and, with the remark: ‘There is
no more than I want myself,’ drank it
all. This, of course, was exceptional
ly brutal,butthere were many Instances
almost 8b bad. Every man is for him
self, and many of them are bo constant
ly thinking of their gold that they be
come insane, or partially so. I came
out with one man who was so excited
over about $10,000 worth of gold that by
the time we got to San Francisco he
was almost an idiot, and it was with dif
ficulty we could induce him to deposit
his gold in a bank and go to a hotel.
There is plenty of gold there, and I
think more fields will be found, but all
a man is likely to get will not pay him
for the horrible experiences he is called
upon to endure. I was not particularly
lucky, though I brought out enough to
pay me fairly well for my two years in
Alaska, but if I was assured of $50,000 u
year I would not go back there.”—Den

A NEGRO CAMP MEETING.
The Typical Thing as It la Seen In
the South.
There is perhaps no more favorable
place in which to study negro charac
ter and manners than the camp-meet
ing. This time-honored institution is
no less social than religious in its
nature. It is usually held in a partly
cleared grove under the auspices of the
local clergy. Hither the colored pop
ulation of the surrounding region flock,
coming on foot, in carriages and wag
one, in ox-carts and mule-carts, on
horseback and muleback—in short, by
every conceivable mode of locomotion.
Their dress is as varied as their vehicles.
Indeed, the negroes of the south are ol
all people the most cosmopolitan in the
matter of dress. Clothes of every imag
inable style, color and “previous con
dition of servitude” are pressed into
use, so that in this particular they pre
sent as great a variety as the beggar in
the nursery rhyme.
As we approach the grove, what a
medley of sound breaks upon our hear
ing!—the neighing of horses, the bel
lowing of cattle, the seesaw braying ol
mules, the laughter and screams of chil
dren, and joined with these a perfect
babble of human voices, the whole
forming a discordant din, such as no hu
man ear never heard elsewhere. En
tering the grounds, we pass bands ol
children, climbing, tumbling, romping,
like so many troops of monkeys;
gawky young fellows awkwardly mak
iug love to dusky beauties; groups of
brawny men discussing abstruse points
of theology with as much zeal nnd more
harmony, perhaps, than a body of
learned divinity doctors. Here and
there a gossiping company of old
“uncles” and "auntiea” may be seen re
viving the memories of bygone days.
