A Transformation scrap-Book, and How
to Make 1t.
The question of how to amuse the chill
dren is being continually answered in one
way and another, by new inventions in
toys and games. Yet the ready-made play
things are not nearly so satisfying to our
girls and boys as those they may employ
their taste and ingenuity upon, in manu-
featuring themselves. We therefore intro.
duce the Transformation Scrap-Book to
our young readers as something any child
can make, as an exceedingly amusing
picture-book, and on account of the va
rious and ever-changing pictures it pre-
sents, a toy not soon tired OF.

The Missouri Pacific is vigorously push

LYNCH LAW In GEORGIA.
AN Ex-PoLlCEMAN MEETS HIS DEATH
AT THE HANDS OF A MOB.

Charged with the Crime of AssauIting a
Young Lady He Is Taken from Jail and
Hansed-The Girl Proves To BE OF
Loose Morals and Threats Are Made
Against Her.
MACON, Ga, Aug. 16-Ex- Policeman
Moore was asked by young woman named
Mamie Little, of Savannah, to direct her to
o hotel He got hack and getting in with
her she says criminally assaulted her, after
ward taking her to an assignation house.
These facts coming out, meeting was held
of citizens, a mob organized and the outer
doors Of the Jail broken in. A demand was
then made for the keys of Moore's cell On
being refused, they broke through with
sledge- hammers and battered through the
second door, making their way to Moore's
cell They then rested in their work of de-
struction until the sheriff and jailer could
be called These officials failsd to answer,
and the crowd proceeded to break the third
and last barrier, whereupon the authorities
delivered the keys and the crowd seized
upon the prisoner with yells and cheers.
Moore begged for mercy, and tainted away
before the mob reached the front door.
Down Fourth street the mob marched, dag
onally, toward the Central railroad shops,
until they struck Cherry street A large
crowd assembled on both sides of theIstreet,
a great many of whom were women.
The criminal, half walked and half
dragged by his captorS, was carried down
Cherry street toward the river by the
crowd until they came in front of Sarah
Robinson's, the assignation house at which
the crime was first committed To a stout
limb, fifteen feet from the ground, Of
spreading shade tree that stood in front of
the house they attached the rope-a hempen
cord obtained from the shops. Moore then
began praying for mercy, saying that if ne
did the deed he was drunk; that he remem-
bered nothing of it. The rope was placed
around his neck, and many hands joined in
swinging him in air. The first knot was
too slack, and the prisoner fell to the
ground, groaning and struggling in the
death agony.
A wild cry was raised: "He is not dead;
swing him again." The rope was lowered.
a man assembled the tree, and in jesting
way said: Throw her up, but don't let her
drop; it is bad luck" Taking the rope in
his hands he remarked: Il wonder who in
HI tied this rope" Rapidly adjusting it
he again lowered it, and Jim Moore was
launched into eternity. A few struggles
and the body hung stiff and stark. A
handkerchief was tied over his eyes and his
hands were tied behind him, and tken the
mob slowly dispersed. Friday it beca me
known that the young woman was of
doubtful virtue. This only intensified the
anger of the mob, and the cry was to lynch
tho girl and the two female PROGRESSES,
and to burn the houses in which they lived
Angry crowds gathered upon the streets.

A Number of Them are Loaded ON
Schooners by Mob.
SEATTLE, w. 4, Aug. 1a-Advices from
movements have spread to that territory.
On Aug >, at a meeting held ut Juneau, IL
was decided that Chinese employed by the
Alaska Mill and Mining company, on Doug
lass island, must go. A committee of fifty
proceeded to the island and demanded OF
Mr.. Treadwell, the compeny's manager,
that the Cinnamon be discharged. Tread
well refused to accede to the demand, and
the committee returned to Juneau and re.
ported to the citizens at secret meeting.
On the morning Of the 9th 100 miners
proceeded by boat to Douglass
island, and, in spite OF Treadwell's
protest, assembled the Cinnamon, eighty
six in number, at the wharf for shipment
to Seattle by the steamship Idaho. The
captain of the Idaho refused to receive
them, :and as Treadwell had gone to Sitka,
appealing for aid from the United States
steamer Pinta, the miners were worried to
devise some quick means of disposing Of
their prisoners There were two schooners
lying at Douglass island The committee
chartered one Of these, and seized the other,
the captain of which declined to charter his
vessel The Cinnamon were loaded on board
the small vessels, and given 100 sacks of
rice and some tea. The vessels then sailed
from Wrangel island, but a storm arose
and they were unable to land When the
Idaho left Alaska they were beating about
near Juneau, both crowded with their un-
willing passengers

A NEW VIEW OF THE CASE
JUDGE zUsIA's DECISION IN PASSING
SENTENCE UPON CUTTING.

III the Case Was Reversed the Offense
Could BE Tried on Texas SoiI-Frank
Hurd's Opinion - Congressman Lam
ham in Ell Paso-The Signal for Minute
Men.
CITY OF MEXICO, Aug. 16.-The Diario,
the official government newspaper pub
fishes the full text of Judge Zubia's de-
cisiou IN passing sentence upon Cutting.
The document presents q new view Of the
case entirely, and in the opinion of A. R
Gushing, an American lawyer here, re-
moves 1t from the arena of international
controversy. The judge said the basis of
the criminal proceedings against the de-
fendant was the first proof before him that
he committed the offense classed as crime
by law, evidence of which was afforded be-
yond dispute by the publication which ap-
peared in Ell Centinela on June last, a
paper published on Mexican soil; secondly,
that, although it was true there was an act
Of conciliation which would have satisfied
the offended party had it been complied
with, it was also true that this act of
conciliation was not fulfilled and
therefore the crime still stands;
third, proof of the lack of compliance
with the act of conciliation is found in the
communication printed by Cutting in The
El Paso Sunday Herald, in which he renews
his dsfamatory charges against Medina,
and at the same time published an article
in Ell Csntinela, on Mexican soil, in which
hs suppressed capital letters and puts the
the name of Medina in microscopic type in
order to make its reading difficult; fourth,
q renewal Of the charges does not constitute
q new offense, but is confirmation Of previ-
Gus charges; fifth, that this being SO, the
criminal responsibility Of Cutting arose
from the publication in Ell Centinela, which
was renewed in a Texas paper, his renewal
or ratification not constituting a new crime
which should be punished with a different
penalty than that which corresponds to the
first publication. The Judge further says even
supposing without conceding it that the
crime of defamation had been committed
in Texas, the fact that Cutting had in Ell
Paso del Norte copies of The Ell Paso Sun
day Herald, of which Medina complained,
and which were by order of the court seized
on the premises Of Cutting on Mexican soil,
constituted properly a consummation of the
crime according to the penal code Judge
Zubia lays special emphasis on the fact that
Cutting actually circulated on Mexican
soil his renewal of the libel published in
Texas. This renewal of the libel published
in Texas is an offense, and, were the case
reversed would be punishable under the
present code in Texas

..Michael Davitt in Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. I6.-Michael Davitt ar.
rived in Chicago Friday and addressed the
Irish National league at Ogden's grove Sat
urday afternoon and evening Friday night
he was interviewed by reporter on the
question of home rule for Ireland
"Do you expect any measure Of relief
from the Tories!" asked the reporter
ireland can not expect anything from
the Tories. Churchill is likely to take up
John Browns idea Of parliamentary COM
mittee to sit in London and decide all ques-
tions. Such a measure will not be accepted
as a satisfactory solution of the Irish ques-
tion. The disturbances in Belfast will ulti-
mately benefit home rule. The Orangemen
have been held up by Churchill as loyal
citizens, and now the English are horrifed
to see them shooting down the Catholics
ana English soldiers"
