Womep in Chinese Prisons.

Down stone alley. where policemen
sprawled in hunks and comfortably
smoked their opium, and chickens
pecked at the hard stones for an occa-
sional crumb, we went TO the women's
quarter. The court was quite the same
as on the men side, the shackled pris-
oners roaming with free hands and
swarming about us with their hands
waving in the air. like the tentacles OF
a devil fish about to close upon us.
Their clamor for a ''cumshaw" was
even wilder and fiercer than the mems,
for there is nothing shriller and sharp
er than the voice of the female Chin
csc, aud it seemed rs if some of the old
hays and young harpies meant to tear
us with their dirty claws ii we attemp-
ted to escape with our purses During
the riot at the gateway an aged female
prisoner wearing huge, horn-brimmed
spectaclcs that made her look like an
old owl, sat plac dly on chair with
her dwarf feet propped on a stool.

benignlv on us, gave rather CHEEKY

contract which the journeyman brewers
union demanded that the employers
sign was decidedly of this nature, and
consequently had refused to sign il.
The men were further informed that
should they feel disposed TO submit their
names for unemployment as individuals
and were willing TO disconnect them
selves from their unions and recognize

The Study of Ben Hur."

General Lew Wallace's study in his
home at Charlottesville is not furnish
ed and decorated in the latest modern
style. II is a barren room, with no
furn ture in it, but table and chair.
On this table are pen, ink and paper
and pile of books, most for reference,
the others copy Of the New Testa-
meni, Life of Christ and "Ivanhoe."
When General Wallace is at work, the
door is closed; when work is over. it is
opened for play General Wallace's
methods of writing are different from
those of most authors. "Beu-Hur" was
first written on slate. then on soft
paper with lead pencil. The final
copy was made on large unruled paper,
In violet ink. and written in copper
plate hand that was as easy TO read as
print. When the weather permits.

Blaine Arrives at AuguSta-Hts
Grand Reception.

AUGUSTA, Maine, August 14-Salem
was passed by the Blaine train at at 80
P. M; Ipswich an hour later, arriving at
Newburyport at 2:l1 P. NJ. At stops
Blaine greeted the crowd but briefly, as
he finds after two years disuse at public
speaking his voice is easily overtaxed.
Portsmouth, N. H., was reached at :02,
and North Beckworth, the first
stop in Blaine's own State, at :55 p. NJ.
With brief response, to welcomes, Blaine
was hurried on through Biddeford, Saco
and other towns to Portland, where a
stop was made at 5 80 P. NJ, and ac-
knowledgement made to $4,000 people
for their greeting.
The train arrived at Augusta at 8 AS P.
NJ. The front of the depot was solid
block of humanity, shouting wildly,
"Welcome home" Bands and torches
made light and noise. Illuminations were
seen in almost every window in Augusta.
Mr.. Blaine's house was encircled by q
great halo of light from many illumina-
tions. Mr.. Blaine rode in a carriage
drawn by four white horses. As he
stepped on his own grounds the band
played "Home, Sweet Home" and he
was duly cheered as he walked to the
platform, accompanied by the Reception
Committee. Hon. w. P. Whitehouse
then welcomed Blaine in hearty ad'
dress, to which he made a suitable re-
SpOnse.

and photographs. But that which showed
the magnitude of the depredations was
the presence of piles of insurance policies
and trust deeds, draft checks, money
orders and promissory notes. These re-
presented in the aggregate nearly $780,
900. The largest check was for 0,000,
drawn by wholesale grocery house of
Chicago on the Continental National
Bank. Numerous other drafts, ranging
from 81 800 to $40, 900, and scores drawn
for $500 each, were found. Won Ober-
kampf was arrested Saturday and con-
fessed his guilt Monday. The Post
Office authorities are investigating how
the postal keys came into his possession.
and it is claimed further arrests will fol-
lew, it being supposed some letter carrier
anticipating the loss of his position, had
duplicate key made and gave it to Won
Oberkampf, sharing with him the pro-
ceeds. To-day both men were before

arrested on suspicion because he had

waived preliminary examination and was
held to the Federal Grand Jury under

continued until Tuesday in bonds of the
same amount. Both men are now in
