place the operating doctors who con-
Quoted his autopsy in a very peril
Gus position. His mother testities that
he has lain for six days as dead and
she refused to permit his burial,
though the physicians could detect no
signs of life. She also says that he
carried in his pocket continually this
paper:

bid an autopsy or the use of
electricity on my body, or being put
on ice, till my mother has seen me, or
until my mothers counsel or Col In
gersoll has seen me-"
Iii is also in evidence that the Oper-
ating physicians took a paper from
Bishops pocket and concealed it. Dr.
Irving has produced a paper which
he says is the one he took from
Bishop, but it contains nothing rele-
want to the case. Expert testimony is
to be offered today.

LAREDO is in controversy over the
standard currency which circulates
in that town. There is no room for
controversy. Laredo is United
States tOwn, with railroads, banks
postof1ice, telegraphs, ETC., aud United
States currency is the standard of
values. The sooner custom conforms
to this condition the better. Laredo
merchants purchase the bulk of their
goods in American markets. paying
American value, not Mexican rates,
and it is easier for them to sell at such
valuation, compelling the purchaser
to pay the equivalent in Mexican coin,
than to mark goods in Mexican values
and maintain tictiOus price. Even
were it not, an American city should
do American business in an American
way with American currency as the
standard of value.

that the cases differ only in degree,
not in kind, the Day says:

retire from business within the state. -

THE ORIENTAL WOMAN.
She Takes No Notice When the Hour e1
 Prayer is Called

It is rather a curious reflection that in those countries where women's rights are most completely non-eXistent, there the specially womanly duties of women are the most grossly neglected. Travel- CTS in Egypt, for instance. tells us that when the bells call the hour of prayer every man stops whatever work he Is en- gagged in and prostrates himself to Allah. No woman takes any notice of the sound She Is too low in the scale of humanity to make her tribute to the Almighty worthy of acceptance. She ranks In this respect almost with the brute creation She Is not withdrawn from her domestic duties by the claims of religion upon her time and thoughts.
 And yet the same travellers tell us that one of the horrors of Egyptian life is the fearful neglect from which children suf- fer. The poor little creatures are in- orusted by dirt and sores, and are swarming with vermin. Children are frequently seen lying in their mothers arms with six or eight flies on each eye. Ophthalmia and various kinds of blind ness are, of course, very prevalent, al- though death releases an enormously large proportion of the children from their sufferings. Three out of every five children born die during infancy, and of those who survive one in every twenty is blind. This Is being thoroughly masculine' with vengeance. and points an instructive moral as to the conse- quences upon the character of women of the denial of liberty, education and responsibility.
 The harem life of oriental ladies of high rank is dull and vaeuous to the last de- gree. They play with their jewels, eat Sweetmeats and smoke pipes, and thus their day passes. If their children are i'll they are hopelessly bewildered and ut terly unable to take care of them. They cling, with touching reverence. to any average English or American woman who may happen to visit them, and implore her aid In doing the simplest kind of nursing and mothering for the aiIing children.
 Nothing astonishes Orientals more than the position of women in England. A Chinese mandarin has la tely published his views on. this subject. Women, he says. are even helped at meals before men: in his own country the men eat first, and when they have quite finished if anything Is left, the women are allowed to have 1t. Another eastern, Seyhd An med Khan, was amazed to find that the servant girl who waited upon him in his lodgings in London could read and write and he recorded his deliberate opinion that the little scrub in London lodging "compelled to work as maid servant for her living" was in reality superior in nearly all respects to Indian ladies of the highest rank. ''Such, he adds solemnly, .'is the effect of education. n."-Fortnightly Review

MOB LAW IN KANSAS,
Murderer Onphant Lynched in Topeka
 Before 10000 People.

Murderer Oltphant Lynched in Topeka
 Before 10000 People.
 TOPEKA, Kan, June GA man giving the name of Nat Oliphant, who was sus- pected of having shot A. L. Rogers and wife Tuesday morning. was captured by the police in the afternoon and lodged in jail Late at night the crowd which sur rounded the jail forced its way inside to get him, first beating back the police force and severely injurtpg Chief of Police Gardner and Officer Bufford.
 Considerable difficulty was experienced in finding the cell where Ouphant was confined, but after two hours work and breaking open several cells the murderer was found and dragged into the street. He confessed the crime and begged the crowd to hang him in such a manner as to breaK his neck.
 He was taken in front of tho First Ma tional bank, the most prominent corner in Topeka, and hanged to 0 telegraph pole. A crowd of probably 10. 900 people, including hundreds of women, witnessed the execution.
 The electric lights made it as bright as day, and the crowd fingered for an hour or more gazing at the body. Mir. Rodgers, the Sictim o1 the murderous burglar, is dead, and Mrs. Rodgers re- covery is very doubtful.
