A MURDEROUS BAND.
Australian Secret Society Pieced

It j cow something Ilka 40 jesra
!no th British government was
much disturbed by th depredations of
what appeared to be an organized band
of murderen operating throughout
New South Wale. The organisation
nil a secret one and at first seemed
Hardly worth while noticing. But be
fore five Tears had Passed it was so
powerful .that the government found
itself forced to arm even ths constab
ulary with revolvers and to Instruct
them not to be too slow about shoot
ing in order to give them some means
of protection against the criminals
who had been enrolled under the so
ciety's rules. Since then, despite con
stant warfare made on it by the po
les, It has grown so vastly that now
many cities are terrorised periodical
ly by Its members and It threatens Aus
tralia much as the Molly Magulree
threatened the United States, sayean
eastern exchange.
This Australian secret murder so
ciety Is known as Larrikin. The Lar
rikin Is divided into branch societies
known as pushes. Each push has a
king, whose word Is law.
Ths member of a push must do what
tver the king directs, bs it robbery,
aiaon or murder. In turn the entire
push stands by him and will atop at
nothing, however desperate, to rescue
him if he Is tsken. fin well hare mnny
of the ptiihis proeed their ability to
do this that In the districts where they
ars most powerful It Is common for
them to commit all sorts of criminal
acts In full daylight and practically
publicly.
There la little really secret about the
organization of these pushes. Nearly
everything concerning them Is known,
so far as their methods of selecting
pew members, punishing traitors and
so on are concerned. Hut all the ef
forts of the police hare been unavail
ing to find out who the kings are.
Any male youth more than IT year
old who lives permanently In a push
district Is eligible for membership.
Should hs wish to join he ends the
.king a written application and s fee
of ten shillings, which Is one of the
king's perquisites of office. On reoelv
lug the application the king calls to
gether his Bvs counoilnrs, whom hs In
structs to make Inquiries and report.
A meeting of the push then Is con
vened and the applicant Is accepted or
rejected on a show of hand. If so
oeptsd he serves ae a provisional initi
ate for a period of sis months. Then,
after subscribing his name to the
"push hook," which le a book wherein
are recorded the crimes committed by
the push, be becomes a full-fledged
member and le made acquainted with
the push' code of laws. No oath le
administered and there la no ceremony
or form of Introduction whatsoever.
The first and most stringent disci
pline of push law enforces obedience
to eoustltiittd authority. "What the
king says goes" Is their own phrase,
and the contravention of the maxim
Is punishable in the first Instance with
ths "sock," in the second with death.
Ths sock is popular with all Larri
kins, who dearly love an opportunity
of witnessing Its infliction. The of
. fender is stripped, gagged and strapped
faoe downward along ao ordinary
wooden bench, whereupon the execu
tiouers beat him in turn with a stock
ing filled with wet sand until his flesh
is completely raw. Ilia wounds are
then salted and he is kept In a prison
until recovery. On such occasions pro.
ceedings are conducted with the
gravest decorum; no one is permitted
to speak and unnecessary violence le
aternly prohibited. No sympathy is
manifested for the victim, and such a
circumstance as a protest against the
barbarity of the punishment Is abso
lutely unknown.
Ths death penalty is rarely exacted
In the cass of aiembera of the frater
nity, but outsiders who have incurred
the push vengeance are killed regular
ly. Ths king chooses for executioners
a score of his subjects, of whom at
least seven are the latest recruits of
the order. The vielltn Is surrounded,
stuuned and thrown to ths ground.
No dssdly weapon is employed. Kaeh
of the push silently kick ths body of
the prostrate victim until life is sa
tinet. Thus all the IW are equally
guilty of murder, and prubably no
member of any push bss been enrolled
for a longer period than two years
without being thus stamped with the
hall-mark at pushdixn.
If a member desires to sever hie
conueitlou with his push or to depart
from the push district In order to live,
elsewhere he Is allowed U do so only
after hsvlng signed a confession of
having committed, single-handed, ths
last capital crime of which the push Is
guilty. This document Is handed to
the king, who files it In the push book,
which is naturally kept in a place of
security. This book is the one strong
and yet w, sk p,.t in the push system.
If it were conv. jed to ths hands of
the authorities the whole push would
here to stand self arraigned and lelf
condelnned us murderers and accesso
ries. Hut so long aa each member's
nsnie is in the b.x.k with his record of
crimes, so long Is he the helpless slsve
of the king. '1 In refore the pushes real
ise that tin ir mfety depends upon the
careful preservation of these m, mo
risls. At Important gatherings the
book must be produced, that members

wife. Not one acquaintance waa mnilu
by them. The doctor cume and went
In a perfunctory way. A woman who
occupied an adjoining apartment
learned of the llltivsa, and through a
window occasionally handed a hook
or a newspaper across the wuy to the
woman who waa keeping watch. Now
and then a question was asked about
the slok man's condition nnd tho an
swer was as brief as the inquiry. Then
all at once communication cettsu.l. The
woman who had Iwen keeping a silent
vigil by her sick waa Been no more.
The woman who had passed in a book
now and then noticed that the apart
ment where the slok man aud his wife
had lived waa vacant. She Inquired

had died a week before; that the body
had been sent to a receiving vault and
that the wife ami the undertaker and

who had aoeomiMinlvd It. Then tho
people in the building began tu talk

life to see a man earning his living
by a vocation which has never ru

to eve a youth, with Cm image of

despise himself; nn occupation which
is constantly condemning him, os

and truest in life. IXg trenches,

thing rather than sacrifice your self
resM'ct, bluut your sense of right
and wrong, and shut yourself olT

any club in a city, but they did not
Bay so, if they did keep up a devil of

Cody liked, but it waa what he
thought he ought to have for hia die
thiiruihhed gueata. The bitter stood
It for two days and then went on a
atrike.
"I any, Cody," venturod Kir St. John
Mildumy, major of the Grenadier
Guards, "do you call this wild west

we are all half dead wtth dyipepsia
now, und thought we would get some
good, wholesome food on thiti thou-sni,d-niil

beamed with delight, said thM I.ocky

And Mich cooking as these acoiita

Col. Cm!y fthowed that he was a flrst
cliihs cook himself. He could throw a
tlapjaek from a frying pan into the

come down on tht other side, never

ones at home. Very often the figures that reprint the loss
of time Jo not represent tho total loss of money which has been
spent on medicines that did not cure, or been paid to doctors who
did not seem to understand the case. Here Is a working man's story
as he tells it himself, which will appeal to every other worker who
knows what it is to "lay off unite often two and three days m a
week " on account of sickness.
-About ten years ago I lcan to hnve trouble with my stoma." writes
Mr Wm. Connolly, of 5.15 Walnut St., Lorain, Ohio. ' It Rot so bad that I
had U, lay off quite often tw and three days 111 a week; my stomach would
bloat, ami 1 would belch up Rus, and war, in aw tut d.strcss at such times 1
have employed and been treated by the lst doctors iu t ns city but K .t no
help whatever. Some said I hud cancer of the stomach, others catarrh, others
dyspepsia I have boueht and tried everything I saw advertised furuyspepsia
and stomach trouble, but continue.! to Ket worse til the time. About twelve
months aeo I was in such a condition th.it my mends had some fear about niy
recovering. I called n doctor and he found me in very bid shape. . am-s
aud limbs were cold nnd dripping with n cold sweat. He told me that I bail a
vcrv bad ca.-e of chronic indinretion.and ordered an injection of li.-t soap suns
...,. i,rc 1 f,.lU,t.,-d
was under his treatment until this spring, but did not improve any Bv some
way or other I happened to e:et hold of a vial of your ; l'ellets,' and I thoiiKlit
they helped ine. It was then I wrote to you for advice You told me that
bv my symptoms you thought 1 hnd liver complaint, and advised t.ic use ot
your 'Golden Medical Discovery' and 'PUasant Pellets' m connection.
These medicines I have taken ns directed, and am very happy to state that
I commenced to Ket belter from the start, and have not lost a day tins summer
on account of my stomach. I feel tip-top, and Letter tiiau I have for ten
years."
There are two or three statements in Jlr. Connolly's letter which
are almost identical with ftateui.'iits made by thousands of others
who have been cured by the usa of IT. I'i. rec's Golden Medical Dis
covery. This shows that his experience- is a common one among
working men, and his ctue and the means by which it was aecom
i.r.shi'.rii'e. therefore, matt, rs of interest to every fellow-worker.
"I have employed and
city, but got no In !p whatever.
"I have- bought and tried eveiything I saw advertised for dyspepsia and stomach
trouble, but continued to got worse all the time."
"Those medicines ('toil. lea Medical Discovery' and 'Pleasant Pellets') I have taken
as directed, and am very happy to state that I commenced to get better from the start,
and have not lost a day this slimmer on account of my stomach."
These thteo facts ill Mi-. Connolly's experience are borne out by the experience of
thousands of others. Doctors employed without bin. 'lit. Many medicines used and
tho condition growing worse instead of better. Finally the trial of Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, with improvement from the start and in a short timo a
perfect and a permanent cure. Yoii have a working man's word for these facts, and
the word of thousands of fellow-workers to back him up.
"Have purchased some of your valuable medicines of T.. II. Spencer, of Blackstone, Va., nnd
they helped my wife and nivselt' so much that we do not know how to praise them enough," writes
Mr. Victor I,. Ilayden, of Illackstone, Nottoway to., Va. "'I cannot express my gratiiication in
words. I had lieen suffering from iudiecstioii so b.ul!v t'lai I could not work halt the time, but
now can work every day nnd cat nnuliiiic; 1 jvant. Why? because I took Dr. R. V. Tierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. It has put new life and energy in mc, restored my health am! made
a man of me once more. I used to w, ih i;o but h:;d gotten down to r.j j, now I nm back to
Ilio and will soon be back to my old weight. Vour medicine has done it all. I cannot thank you
enough for your advice, and think if it had not been for your medicine neither my wife nor myself
would have been here many years."
Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery cures Ji.-eases of the stomach and other
organs of digestion and nutrition. It cures liver ' complaint," heart "trouble," kidney
"trouble," and u weak " lungs, bccaii-.e the .lis. ased eini'liiion of these organs is fre
quently only a conse.juenee of disease of the stomach and its allied organs of diges
tion and nutrition.
Those who Ktiffer from chronic diseases are invited to consult Dr. Pierce, bv letter,
frtt. All correspondence) strictly private. Address Dr. K. V. Pierce, I'.ulTalo, X. Y.
