ST. JOINS, n. F.. May 5.-Capt. Richard
Pike. master Of the sealing steamer Kite.
which carried the Peary expedition party
north the past two years, died to-day from
O cancer.
Captain Pike was fifty-fye years old and

Judgment on this expedition. and as q re-
sult the Proteus was crushed by the ice and
the party forced to return in open boats,
travelling for thirty days. IL is believed
that he never recovered from this ex posure.

party to Greenland. and last year was
equally successful in bringing Peary and
his relief party back.

Twenty-Four Bricks Entirely Abraded BY
Hands of fssby Convict.
Capt Powell. in his description Of life
in a southern Convict Camp tells one
story which bears sad testimony TO the
imperfection of human law, even in the
niReteenth century and in the United
States. The story concerns negro
named Cy Williams, who was entered
upon the books of the convict camp.
When a mere pickaninny, running
about in the one garment that forms
the costume Of all negro youngsters in
the south. he was arrested for stealing
a horse. He was not large enough to
mount the animal. and was caught in
the act OF leading it OFF by the halter,
for which he was duly-the word
should be unduly--scntenced to twenty
years Imprisonment.
Warden Martin was puzzled TO know
what a. do with so small convict. but
finally invented a task that certainly
reflects credit upon his ingenuity He
placed two bricks At each end OF the
prison yard. and giving the black baby
two more. ordered him To carry them Ia
one of the piles. lay them down, pick
up the other two. which in turn were
u be carried To the farther end, ex-
changed again. and So on back and
forth all day hong. always carrying two
bricks.
lie was warned that he would be
whipped If he failed To pile the bricks
neatly or broke any of them He grew
up at the task. and the constant abra-
sion of merely picking up and laying
down wore out four sets of bricks be-
fore he was put To other labor.
