Booked for Sing Sing.

Brooklyn, Feb. 2O.-The order
granted by Judge Cullen does not
give much satisfaction to John Y.
McKane's friends, or inspire expec-
tations that he can be kept from 60

order requires the prosecution to
show why certificate of doubt should
not be granted to McKane. 1t is not
believed that McKane's lawyers can
show that Judge Bartlett made any
blunders during the trial or in his
charge to the jury. If the Judge de-
cides the application adversely at
once, McKane will be sent to the
State prison.

division of Neva da.

Mason Valley (Nev. J Tidings, 10Th:
Tidings is glad to have such an in
fuential journal as the Salt Lake Tri-
bune advocate our suggestion of State
division. In recent editorial Judge
Goodwin advocates the division of
Nevada on north and south line, CIV
ing the eastern half to Utah and
the western half to California. In
turn California should be divided into
North and South California, because
the two section are drifting apart, and
because there is wealth and population
sufficient for State in each section.
With half of Nevada attached to it the
northern section of California would
be of twice the area of New England,
and the southern section nearly as
large. The Tribune thinks that the
people of western Nevada would not
object to this union with California,
because our business connections are
now with that State, and because we
are, to all intent and purpose, Califor-
mans now.

Russta's Protest.

Berlin, Feb. 2O.-The Frankfort
Zeitung says important notes have
been exchanged between France and
Russia in regard to the corn duties.
The Russian note said, while not
claiming the right to interfere in the
internal affairs of another state and
recognizing the fact that France is
perfectly loyal in treating all coun-
tries alike, Russia must protect her
own interests, and if the corn duty
derange the Russian export trade she
must exercise her right to terminate
the Franco Russian treaty of COM
merce.
The French note in reply, is, in
substance, that while France must re-
spond to the popular feeling in favor
of an increase of duties on corn, she
would endeavor to limit the increase
to the minimum. The Russian reply
remarks that Russia adhers to her
views.

Slave Raid Horrors.

London, Feb. 2O.-A correspondent
describing the march of Colonel Ellis's
column against the Sofas, in Sierra
Leone, gives horrible details of the
Sofa slave raids. Entire towns were
wiped out. The thriving towns of
Tokiviama, of 5000 inhabitants, is in
ashes. The mutilated trunks of men,
women and children are heaped putre-
flying amid the ruins. The absence
of the bodies of young men and women
indicates that they were spared to be
sold into slavery. Colonel Ellis freed
hundreds of slaves.

BlowfiIes for Use In War.

Since Turpin's invention for destroy
ing an army wholesale, the professor
of one Of the principal colleges in Paris
has proposed to the French minister Of
war that large blowfies should be
bred and kept in large cages, being
fed upon blood and placed between
the artificial skin or lay figures dressed
up In the German uniform. When war
was declared these flies would be rem
dered venomous by feeding them on
the sap Of tropical plants and taken to
the front In their cages, from which
they would be released, and make
short work Of the enemy. Another pa
triot suggests that dogs should be
trained to bite lay figures wearing the
German uniform, and that each soldier
should be accompanied by a dog In

A Historic Stone.

At the foot of Wards heroic statue Of
Washington, on the high steps of the
subtreasury building, says New
York contemporary, is broad piece Of
stone carefully covered with a wire
grating. 1t is so placed that should
the image of the immortal father Of
his country come to life and step down
from his lofty pedestal he would stand
on the same spot where occurred the
browning triumph of his career.
Through the protecting railing can be
read the following dim inscription:
standing on this stone in the balcony
of Federal hall, April 80, 1889, George
Washington took the oath as the first
president of the United States of Amer
ica." When old Federal hall was de-

UNIONISM In COREA.
How the Working People Of the
Hermit Kingdom Are Organized.
Every Plane of Society Is Pervaded by a
Spirit of Associated Energies-The
Powerful Guild OF Amazonian
Burden Bearers.

The Coreans are not the rude, inlet
tered savages that most of the accounts
called forth by reason of recent events
would seem to indicate.
One has but to consider the sweet
phantasy that devises the names of the
country's provincial divisions to under
stand the nature of the people-"Peace
and Quiet" Respectful Congratula-
tion," Perfect Mirror" Boy Mead
ow," "Serene Loyalty" Could any
thing indicate more convincingly the
esthetic and polite quality of the Corean
mind? And, seemingly, it has been so
almost from the very birth of the ma
ton. All that is known by the Japan
csc, whom prolonged refinement has
made ultra-exquisite in the arts and
crafts, came to them from Corea,
whence sages, scholars and artists car
ried from the peninsula the magnificent
philosophy and religion of India, the
science and letters Of China, the nice
social culture of Corea itself.
To this day learning is the basis OF
the country's official aristocracy. Civil
service examinations that we laugh at
here as a finical device of political
dudes and weaklings have been for
centuries in Corea the only test for
official preferment. Fancy the average
candidate for office in this country,
writes C. F. Nirdlinger, undergoing an
examination in the ancient classics,
medieval lore and universal history!
The high-handed independence of the
working classes in Corea is a remark
able feature of the social organization
of the country. This independence is
the consequence of the elaborate sys-
tenn of trade unionism that exists
among the COreans. Nowhere else in
the world has the system of guilds
reached such high development. 1t
amounts, practically, to socialism.
Unions prevail among all those who
have any kind of work in common or
any common interest. Not only car
penters, masons, weavers and work
men of their grade maintain monop
oily of their calling, according to ap-
proved methods of trade uniOnism, but
porters, hostlers, pack horse leaders
and coffin makers have organizations
for the common good, so stable and

well equipped that not even the king
himself the most absolute ruler in the
world, would venture to break them.
Every plane of society in Corea is
pervaded by a spirit of associated en-
ergies. The attendants of the temples,
household servants, government en-
ployes, pOlicemen-all have their dis
trict assemblies, their rigidly guarded
barriers against intrusion of outsiders.
One of the most powerful guilds in
Corea is made up chiefly Of women.
This is the guild of the pOrters, on
whose backs the inland commerce Of
tie country is carried on. The women
are mostly poor widows or women who
have not been able to marry. Their
muscular occupation in the open air
gives them incredible strength. They
keep up a tremendous amount of cere-
mony among themselves and bow and
scrape and salute along the highways
in the most elaborate fashion. They
are so powerful, these Amazonian por-
ters, that the government does not in

BABIES BY HUNDREDS.
Visit to the Sloane Maternity Hos
pital at New York.
More Babies Are Born There Every Day
Than in Any Other spot in the
world-The NobIest Charity
in America.

OF all the numberless charities and
Institutions for the care of the unfor-
tunate in the United States, the big
Sloane Maternity hospital in New
York holds position at once unique
and exclusively its own. More babies
see the first light Of day here than are
born in the average sized town in the
same length of time year by year. Yet
30 quietly is the institution managed
that its very existence is shrouded in
something of mystery. 1t owes its es-
Establishment to the generosity of Mrs.
Sloane, sister of Cornelius Vanderbilt,
and is supported and maintained by her.
A visit to this magnifi cent charity Is
an experience never to be forgotten.
1t is one of the few places in the world
where cribs holding from fourteen to
sixteen mites Of humanity, ranging
from a few hours to ten days in age,
can be seen, and certainly about the
only one where so many babies are to
be seen asleep at the same moment. A
correspondent of the Kansas City Star
saw one crib in which there were nine
little strangers, their faces all turned
in the same direction, sleeping soundly
with nine pair of little fists tightly
clinched after the manner of infants.
These Sloane hospital babies are
lucky so far as scientific attention to
their needs is concerned. From the
moment of their birth, in the white,
clean room, where the greatest mys-
terry in nature is revealed they are
watched and cared for with a scientific
regard and precision that is marvellous.
While the white-faced mother lies on
her cot, with an anxious surgeon and
gentle-faced nurse on either side to
give her every attention, another nurse
has taken the babe, and on pair OF
scales has noted its weight; with sim.
pie little appliance has marked its
height, or length, rather, and with a
tape has taken the measurement Of
his chest, HE head and other dimen-
siOns.
The baby's life, from that time until
he leaves the hospital, is as methodical

The brevity of insect life is illus
trated in the case of those insects that
modest and ruin the mushroom. The
latter, whose life is measured by hours,
is often ruined by an insect who de-
posits eggs that hatch out grubs while
the mushroom is still apparently in the
full vigor of youth. Before the mush-
room has reached the lettering age Of
forty-eight hours the grubs may d.
velop into the full-blown insects.
