A NEW LABOR PROJECT.

California agriculturists are trying
negro labor as an antidotc to the
Chinese, with apparent prospects of
success. The new help is remark
ably cheap, and of course there can
be no question Of its adaptability to
plantation work. From the state
ments made by u California planter
in the extract given below, we should
imagine that if there is to be disap-
pointment Of any kind in these
Islands regarding labor projects now
on foot, our planters might prolltably
turn their attention to the American
black man. The following is

Ben Thompson, the notorious Texas
desperado, who. with his companion, King
Fisher, was killed in the Vaudeville Theater,
at San Antonio, had big funeral at Austin,
his home, where he leaves q family and prop
erty valued at $4,000. The Coroners inves-
tigation revealed the fact that the two men
were slain by the police and theater en-
ployes. Thompson, year before, had in the
same building murdered Jack Harris, the
proprietor of the place, and on the pres
ent occasion went TO the theater for the
purpose of raising row. From the moment
of his entrance TO the death scene he was
doomed man. His personal bravery was her
cuean, and his caution equaled his courage.
He and his game companion were crowded
down by the police and theater employees and
butchered like stuck pigs. 1t is the only way
IN which he could have been killed. He had
thirteen authenticated deaths to his score.
Fisher was the younger man, but the greater
desperate. His murders were innumerable,
and in every town on the Rio Grande his
mains were taken TO Uvalde and inferred. A
dispatch from there informs us that ''the fu-
neral was the largest ever seen in Uvalde,"
and that the desperate "woud undoubtedly
