Horrible Treatment of Convicts

wbo says be speLt 2 years as a convict

accorded the convicts. He says'tbat tbe
men are divided into gangs and given a
certain amount of work to do each day.
If tbey fail to get out the required
amount, tbey are bcateo witb an in
strument wbicb very much resembles

no matter if all but one or two did
tbeir share of work. He claims to have
seen convicts die from tbis beating. Tbe
victims are placed on tbe ground face
downward and beld by two men, every
cut of tbe knout drawing blood -Two
men he kuew committed suicide to avoid
punishment, and others were known to
pull great pieces of slate down upon
them, bopiog to so maim themselves tbt
tbev cou.d not work in the mines. Hud

eminent professor of national reputation

The Exclusion Law.
. Philadelphia, Penn , Jan. 7 A clever
scheme of Chinamen to evade tbe Chinese
registration act bas. pcen discovered by
government detectives in tbis city. Tbe
act requires the Chinese to have tbeir
pictures taken and to fl e tbem at the
office of the internal . revenue collector.
Philadelphia Chinamen have been taking
lessons in photography and in tbe art "of
using a preparation that will cause tbe
photograph to grow dim and fade in a
year. When the registration act goes in
to force next Msy tbe Chinese ot Plula
delpbia will have an artistic countryman
photograph fem, and after applying the
fading preparation to tbe picture it will
be bled witb Collector Brooks.- Within a
year tbe picture will, be so dim that it
will be almost unrecognizable, and tbe
collector will be unable to tell whether
tbe man before bim is the original of the
photograph ot a recent importation from
China. It is said the scheme bas been
transmitted to the Chinese in all tbe
large ci:ies throughout tbe country, and
tbat photography is being zealously
studied by celestial inhabitants.
IJfn In Death.
. Toledo, O., Jan. 8. There is no apparent
change in the case of Clay G. Hopper, the
young man wbo was supposed to have died
nine days ago. The body has the appearance
of one lying asleep, It is limp and retains its
natural color. The only change is iu the
pinkish spots about the body, which are con
stantly changing to a light blue and growing
deeper. The temperature of the body re
mains at Ji deg., and although . it has laid in
a warm house for nine days there, are no
signs of decomposition. The case has at
tracted tbe attention of tbe local medical pro
fession, but the distracted parents will not
permit investigation of tbe body. It is. if the
belief of the parents be true, one of the longest
cases of suspended animation- on record. The
eyes remain bright as in life, and while the
heart is not beating, the blood vessels are
plainly visible.

acres ot land. By the terms of tbe
treaty, it is alleged, tbere was a reserva
tion ct a tract of country on tbe coast.
wiibin the limits of the coast reservation

contain 750,000 acres. The senator also
secured the passage of a resolution
that tbe secretary be directed to advice
tbe senate wbetber such treaty was
ever . transmitted to tbe senate for rati -
fication; also, whe her tbe United States.
it said treaty was not ratified, has acted
upon the terms stipulated and receive;'
the benefits ot the cession, and if so.
whether said Indian were ever paid tbe

' A Theory of Suicide.
Sacramento, Jan. 9 Tbe only new
development In . tbe Btigbton mystery
is tbe repotted discovery of a letter writ
ten by Miss Ayres to Jeffries on tbe after
noon of tbe tragedy . Rsi road officials
refuse to divulge tbe contents of tbe let
ter, bnt it is said to contain a threat tbat
unless Jeffries acknowledges, tbe writer
aS bis wife she would expose bia villainy
and cause his snest lor bigamy. Ac
cording to the officer wbo bas been in
vestigating tbe mysterious case, the let
ter was delivered to tbe engineer by Hal
lie Stoeckel, whose name has been prom
inently mentioned in connection with the
death cf the Brighton telegraph operator
After the delivery of tbe letter to Jeffries,
Miss Stoeckel, acting under instruction
from Miss Ayres, informed Jeffries tbat
the operator was sick and desired to see
him. Jeffries, it is said, replied tbat be
wished tbat he was dead, and instructed
tbe bearer ot tbe letter to tell ber so,
Whether Miss Stoeckel obeyed Jeffries'
request cannot be ascertained, but
it is known that after leaving
Jeffries tbe young lady returned
Brighton and was seen to enter the sta
tion houte where Miss Ayres lived
Since the engineer's brutal reply to Mis
Ayres' request to visit ber bas become
known, tbe suicide theory bas been stead
ily gaining ground. As Miss Ayres' was
of a morose disposition, it is contended
that Jeffries' indifference caused ber to
hecome despondent, and in a moment ot
deeprration she fired . the bouse and
blew out ber brains.
