Such work, combined with such
fare, makes {; few days with hard
work. by no means treat; in fact,
many old hands would far sooner
undergo month in the regular
military prison than a week in
the cells. Terms of confinement in
military prison can only be ordered by
o court martial, and the several courts
martial before mentioned have differ
:ent limits of power, viz: A regiment
court martial, which is composed of
Officers of one regiment: for the trial OF
q member of that regiment cannot
order more than forty-two days i'm
prisonment, while district court mar
tial, consisting of different corps for the
trial of any soldier, may sentence up to
.eighty-four days. Greater still is the
power of the highest military tribunal
in times of peace, the general court
martial, which has for its president
general officer, hence it's name. This
court may order man to be imprisoned
for any term up to five years, which is
the longest term given in time of peace.
Should soldier commit-at home
very serious crime, say murder, he is
handed over to the civil authorities to
be dealt with.
The usual sentence of general court
martial is imprisonment with hard
fla Dor for five years, thereafter to be
discharged from her majesty's service
as an incorrigible and worthless charac-
ter" Flogging, which used to be COM
mon form of punishment, is now abol-
ished, at least it is never employed save
on rare occasions of disobedience or in
subordination in the military prisons.
In such cases the governor of the prison
may order the delinquent to receive a
number of lashes, not more than thirty
six, except that the governor has power
to deal at his own discretion with lazy
or insubordinate prisoners. This he
generally does by ordering them to soli-
tary confinement, which is a terrible
form of punishment, the prisoner being
kept in a cell with absolutely nothing
to do and no one to see for a certain
number of hours; moreover, twice in
twenty-four hours small piece of bread

their appearance at a small trap door in
the wall of his cell; he does not even
see the warden that feeds him.
A few hours Of this generally suffices
to bring man to his senses; on active
service OF course punishments are more
severe, as discipline has to be much
more strongly enforced than at home,
and if necessary summary court mar
tial, known as a ''drum head" one, may
sentence a man to be shot. This ex-
treme course is only employed, how
ever, in case of desertion from the
field, desertion during times of peace
being visited-whether the deserter re-
turns voluntarily, as nine out of ten do,
or he is captured-by a longer or shorter
term of imprisonment Life in mill
tary prison is almost Identical with
that Of civil one. Should he be proof
against this treatment and remain in
subordinate, the ''cat" may be ordered,
and 1t has never been known to fail in
convincing a man of the error of resist
ing the authorities.

stick, this old lady has not only kept in
perfect accord with the law, but satisfied
almost everybody, which is far more
difficult.
She first hunted up all her relatives
descendants OF her mothers brothers
and sisters, all in the third and fourth
generations of the Wilson's, Macraes and
Fergusons-and gave them from $20, 900
to $4,000 each, $350,G00 in all to the
thirteen. Her husbands few relatives
were supposed to have been provided for
at his death many years ago. She gave
nearly as much in private bequests to
friends, including $4,000 to Rev. DR..
John Hall, $4,000 to DIR. James McCosh,
of Princeton, and 50, 900 each to his chill
dren. After remembering" every friend
and relative she still had $4,000,0 900 to
dispose Of This she divided among
churches and charities and educational
institutions, and this division is what
excites greatest interest.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art and
American Museum of Natural History
had $500o0 each in the will as drawn,
but when those institutions were opened
on Sunday she struck out the devise. To
the Lenox library sho gave $500, ,000 in
cash and all her magnificent collection
of paintings, worth at least 100000
more, on the sole condition that the gal
lery in which they are placed shall not
be opened on Sunday. It is to be called
the Robert l.. Stuart Collection in
honor of her husband, who gathered the
paintings.
The will was drawn by the late Judge
Hooper G. Van Worst. Among the i'm
portant bequests We're $4,000 to the
University Of New York, $4,000 to
Princeton college, $4,000 each to the
Cancer hospital and Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, $3.50 900
each to the American Bible society,
Foreign Missions of tho Presbyterian
church, the home missions Of the same,
and a variety of missions and hos
pitfalls. The total to missions, ministers,
churches and charities is over $3, 800, 900,
and almost every one of prominence in
New York and New Jersey gets some
thing, the Presbyterians being most
favored, as that was her church.

GEORGE KEENAN,.
An Interview with the Man Who In
yestigated Russia's Prisons.
Especial Correspondence.


Especial Correspondence
NEW YORK, Jan. 14.-The unfavor-
able reports regarding the health of Mr..
George Kennan, the distinguished writer
and traveller, appear TO have been great
ly exaggerated. Upon his arrival in this
city from California the other day he
appeared to be in most excellent health,
but this was due in a measure to the
months voyage from San Francisco by
the way Of Panama. His face and hands
were we'll Drowned, and there was vigor
in his step and cheer in his voice that
gave no hint of a victim Of sleeplesSness
and nervous prostration.
1t is well known among Mr.. Remnants
friends that he has never wholly recoy-
cred from the hardship and exposure to
which he was subjected in Siberia. He
is a rugged, wiry man, capable of great
and prolonged endurance, but the nerv-
GUS strain caused by the sights of cruelty
and woe that came under his eyes at
every step, the lack of proper food,
and the fierceness of Siberian winter
were too much for his strength. Sleep
lessness came upon him with its ex
hausting tax Instead of taking the
long period of rest that he needed, he
began to write his Century articles and
to lecture in every part Of the country.
The preparation of his book on 1.-The
Russian Exile System" also contributed
to the breakdown that was so much ex-
aggerated. But / am quite well now
after my sea voyage" he said, speaking
of his health.
In conversation Mr.. Kennan is very
rapid, but very interesting. His dis
course is simple, direct and somewhat
unfinished. No one would think to hear
him talk that he was the master of the
charming style to be found in all that
he writes. His pet subject is of course
Russia. On this he can speak by the
hour, and to the listener the last word
is as absorbing as the first. 1t is curious,
however, that his language discloses
none of the feeling that the recital of
his stories of Russian rascality and bar
barism invariably arouses. do not re-
member single adjective or expletive
of Indignation or denunciation during
conversation Of nearly an hour on these
subjects. My blood, however, was boil
ing with rage. suppose that his has
been boiled so much that it has lost the
power of ebulli5ion. has the calm
that he noticed with amaze1nent in the
wretched victims of Russian despotism.
They always spoke OF their sufferings
without emotion. He has come in the
game way to do the same thing.
