God" In Chilli, however, nobody starves,
no matter how poor. Nature is too boun-
tiful and the people are too hospitable.
In this highly favored country hospital
ity is the most sacred of virtues. In
travelling to and fro no inns are to be
found; the traveller on reaching village
Or country town presents himself at the
house Of the Governor, or, if the latter
be absent, at the best house in the viii
lage, walks in, as a matter of course,
and equally of course is at once made
welcome; wine is set before him. and

Boodlers in Russia, Too.

The Russian railway expert, NJ
Kotlubai, has just published in book
form an account of the mismanage
ment of Russian railways and of the
abuses which naturally result. He
states that, owing to the immense sal
aries paid to the higher officials, the
remuneration received by the actual
working officials is SO insufficient that
they would be unable to live unless
they supplemented their wages by
theft. Despite their low salaries,
these men are worked almost day and
night, only five or six hours being left
them to sleep and rest. During the
last Turko-Russian war engineers and
tiremen were forced to sleep on their
locomotives at odd moments, SO in
adequate was their number to the de-
mands of the service, and switchmen
were compelled to be on duty twenty
six, twenty-eight and thirty hours in
succession: Such inhuman overtaxing
of the strength Of men could result
only in the most defective and peril
ously careless service, with more acct
dents and greater loss of life than any
other country in the world. ::

the Doctor, "and spent a pretty busy

Horrible Confession.

LONDON, Oct. 2S.-Thomas Neill.
Cream has confessed that from 1877
TO 1881, when he was arrested In
Chicago, he made practice of pois-
oning dissolute girls in Canada.
His numerous victims, he says,
were buried without suspicion on
the part of anybody that they had
died unnatural deaths. A medi-
cal expert who examened Cream
says that he suffers, undoubtedly,
from satyriass. All information as
to Thomas Neill-Cream's confession
comes from Mr.. Waters, his solicitor.
Mr.. Waters says that he probably
will not make the details public un-
til after the execution. Cream con-
fessed to him everything criminal
in his Canadian career and minute
ly described the girls murdered,
his methods In killing them and
his devices to escape detection.
"He fairly made every hair on my
head stand on end" said Mr.. Wa
ters this evening. "His story was
startling beyond anything have
ever heard" After his confession,
Cream became angry at Mr.. Waters
and threatened to "do" him after
the trial. Mr.. Waters refused abso-
lutely to make any further state
ment.
