choppy. An unprecedented large crowd
gathered along the banks of the river and

Miss, you can't bring dogs into the car
said a Third avenue conductor to a young
woman who tenderly held a wriggling little
object wrapped up in a shawl.
"'Tain't a dog, " snapped the young woman,

returning to the young woman, said: Miss,
you can't bring cats in, neither"
"'Tain't a cat" said the young woman
Its a rabbit" and the long ears emerged in
confirmation OF her assertion At this the

then said: well, that's accordin' to the
rules OF the company; dogs is dogs and cats
is dogs; but rabbits is insects; so you can

rapid progress in the United States,
within a comparatively recent period, not
only IN the performance, but In the

which was under the auspices
of the National Conservatory OF Music,
is intended to be the inaugural of a series
of strictly American concerts, which Mrs.

works of native born citizens and stimu'

change relative to the cause of the low
prices Of the food products of the West.
Ex-President Mullock said that freight
rates had nothing to do with the low
price of corn. The crop last year was
unusually large, and there had been an
advance in ocean rates on account of the
scarcity of tonnage. A n~umbersof others
said the depression was due to large crops
and that freight rates were as low as could
be maintained by the railroads.

He Denies. However, That There Is

Aff1rms That He Has No Desire to
Return to office.
DRESDEN, July 20.-The Ndchrichten
says Prince Bismarck, in an interview. de-
clared that he had no desire to return TO
office, as he was now too OLD to assume the
cares of state. He said that if he decided
to visit England he would go to some seaside
place in September.
Prince Bismarck denied that there was
any hostility between the emperor and him
self He said he was loyal adherent of
the Hohenzollerns, although he differed with
the emperor on the question of socialism.
BELIEVES IN DEFIANCE.
The emperor had decided to try to induce
the socialists to maintain peaceful atti-
tude by means of concessions, but he BIS
marckl believed in fighting them as black
mailers. The sooner they were defied the
better. The time would come when social
ism would be uppermost, and in place of
the present state of siege there would be a
universal state of war.

A PRISONER FLOGGED.
A Canadian Criminal Receives Thirty
Lashes on His Bare Back.


Lashes on His Bare Back.
OTTAWA, July 20.-Within the past year
the old-time mode of Furnishing certain
class of criminals in Canada with the ap-
plication of the lash has been rapidly re-
vived. The st. Vincent de Paul peniten-
tiary, in the province of Quebec, was the
scene of well-merited hogging last week.
Two weeks ago one Joseph DONORS, alias
Cursor, who has been wandering around
the country in the guise of priest, was
sentenced, in accordance with the new
Dominion law, to two years in the penite l.
tiary and to receive thirty lashes for
assaulting little girls. Cursor is an old
offender, having received similar lashes in
the Montreal jail two years ago for the
same offense. The flogging was given with
the greatest precision and dispatch.
After the days work was over and the
other convicts had returned to their cells.
the prison physician, accompanied by
guards, went to Curson's cell, and after
examining him, made a written report that
the prisoner was in fit condition to receive
the punishment. Cursor maintained a
stolid indifference as he was led forth to the
basement, where the logging was to take
place.
Immediately after his arrival the guards
keepers and officers to the number of forty
marched down to the basement, where they
formed three sides of a square. Within the
square stood Warden Oulmet and the chief
keeper. The triangle to which Cursor was
to be tied stood in the middle. After hav-
ing divested himself of his coat, Cursor,
stripped to the waist, walked with firm
step to the triangle, to which he was
strapped by the guards. A stuffed leather
strap was then put around his neck to pro-
tect it.
At signal from Deputy Warden Nc
Carthy the man who was appointed to in
fiict the punishment stepped forward and,
taking up the CATO nine tails, waited for
the word. In a minute there was sound,
and Immediately afterward the nine knotted
ends leshed the flesh of the prisoner. Cur
son never WINGED, but at the third blow he
groaned piteously and kept it up until the
end. When the end was reached, half of
the back from between the shoulders down
was one mass of lacerated flesh. When he
was unfastened from the triangle Cursor
walked over to the bench where his clothes
lay, and his back was covered with a cloth
saturated with salt and water. Cursor then
dressed himself. and, accompanied by two
guards, walked firmly upstairs to his cell.
