 Chinese Prisoners horr,bly Tortured at the
 Kuoheng nquiry-one Consul Interfered
 --Men Beaten and Their Heads Dragged
 Back by the Queue,
 London, Oct, 10,-The Pail Mall Ga zette publishes a second letter fro it's correspondent in Kucheng detailing the difficulties attending communication with Foo Chow and describing the trial of prisoner Implicated in the outrages upon missionaries.
 When the court is ready, the writer says, the accused man is brought in handcufted He is invariably fl, l,hy Ill appearance and has the wild and ghast- ly look of starved man, which he real ly is, The prisoner opens the proceed ings by swearing that he was nowhere near the scene of the massacre and then Che torture begins.
 The man is first compelled to kneel with his bare knees upon a coil of chain. His head is dragged back and his pig tail is fastened to rack high above his head. pole Is then thrust across his legs and two soldiers stand on each end of 1t, crushing the wretchs knees into the coil of the chain.
 The British consul could not stand this method of extracting testimony, and insisted that 1t be stopped. This was done as far as the proceedings in the court room were concerned, but for an hour afterward the shrieks of tor mented prisoners could be heard com ing from an adjacent room, where the torture was continued
 | When the magistrates wanted to hear the confession of a tortured man the prisoner was brought back into the court room. If he held back his confes- sion a threat to resume the torture was usually sufficient to cause him to tell all he knew.
 Besides the torture described the pris- oners were beaten with bamboo sticks until their yells were most horrible tc | hear. One prisoner appeared in the ! court room unable to walk from the beating he had received, and another was unable to kneel because his knees had been broken by the chain links and his thighs had been lacerated by the 1 strokes of the bamboo rods.
 In the midst of such misery cakes fruits, tea and wines were served and partaken of by the native officers, who kcould not understand why the foreign. CTS present pushed these delicacies aside refusing to touch them. 1 The correspondent declares that the powers ought to demand justice with out torture, reaching the mandarin as promptly as the man who works in the field, The whole business, he says, lies at the door of corrupt officers.

time desired to put this process to a
test, but never awaited himself Of the
opportunity until this day. His theory
is that corpse can be resuscitateu,
provided there are no internal injuries,
by placing the entire body, except the
eyes, nose and mouth, in bath Of
water heated to a constant tempera-
ture of 10 degrees F., and leaving it
there for at least five hours. An ordi-
nary bath tub was used. When the
water had reached the proper tempera-
ture, DR.. Whitney and his assistants
carefully deposited the body in the tub.
1t was then about II o'clock in the
morning, and from that time until 4
o'clock, when the experiment was CIV
en- up, the condition of the corpse was
studiously watched by DR.. Whitney.
Although the experiment was failure,
at times the blood was started to circu-
lation, and the face and limbs assumed
the natural color. 1t is said that the
heart was felt to throb several times.
When the test was over DR.. Whitney
claimed it was not successful because
the boys body was rolled over barrel
after the drowning, thus causing inter-
nal injuries.

by the socially wise ones that she would
create a sensation. She so far fulfilled
their predictions as to be asked to
dance with the leader of the cotillon at
the famous New York Patriarchs, So
cial laurel that had never before been
worn by aught but a New York girl.
This at once brought her before the
fashionable worlds notice. The late
Ward McAllister followed the cotillon
with a dinner in her honor, and that es-
tablished her triumph among New
York's $50. At the naval parade at
Hampton Roads she was the recipient
of more attention from all nationalities
than any girl there. Her social triumphs
were repeated in Philadelphia and
Washington.
In Mrs. S. Stuart Frackelton is re-
vealed beautiful and womanly wom-
an, the first Of her sex in America to
become potter. The ancient art Of
modelling in clay has always been es-
teemed in foreign lands as one of the
most valuable branches Of artistic in
dustry, but in America Mrs. Frackelton
was one of its pioneer devotees. Step
by step she has advanced, self-taught
from lack of opportunity on this side Of
the Atlantic to learn her chosen pur-
suit, until now she stands as the high
est authority on the subject, both
abroad and in her native land. Her
book, Tried by Fire" a volume dealing
with ceramic art, has been accepted as
textbook at the South Kensington
Art Museum, and the thanks of the
Lords of the Committee of Council of
Education" have been conveyed to the
author. Mrs. Frackelton began her la
bors with grinding her clay in a coffee
mill and rolling 1t out with a pastry
roller. She is now the head of large
manufacturing business, which turns
out all sorts Of American" colors and
appliances for the art. Her nome talent
is encouraged on every side, and her
own sex Is given every benefit. In the
/ work-room, teachers and students are
all women, and they have even taken
the place of kiln men when necessary
This distinguished art worker has been

With the exception of one year in
which she took her wedding trip
through Europe, three years ago, Mrs.
Kitson has taken no rest or vacation.
Her work is to be found in nearly every
exhibition Of sculpture. In the exhibit
ton which was lately held In the Fine
Arts Gallery she exhibited life-sized
portrait OF a 4-months-old baby girl,
the model of which was her own little
daughter. Inasmuch as Mrs. Kitson
has done her strongest work during the
last three years, she has proved that
in some cases art and matrimony may
successfully go hand in hand Her
ambition Is not yet reached, and she
continues to work in ner husbands

aled in Boston, and continues to COM
pete with the ablest men in her pro-
fession.

Boston, Sept. ga 9-year-old child
of Mrs. Rosenthal of 81 Prince street
fell INTO a tub of water yesterday and
was scalded. The child was taken out
unconscious and carried by the frantic
mother to the office of DR.. i. c. Cob
ron at $50 Salem street. The mother
begged he doctor on her knees to
minister to the little one, but Gobron
slammed the door in her face, saying,
"We don't treat Jews, and what's
more. we will not treat them" The
mother carried her child away and it
died.
] Later Gobron, when questioned by a
reporter, said: 81 don't go to the jew
ish people for my practice, and don't
want them in my practice. don't pro-
pose to have a house full of tramps L
am a member of the Massachusetts,
Medical society, and none of the big
professors disturb themselves over
these cases. What are the hospitals
for, and what are the ambulances for?
I 1 am here to make my living-not to
wait on people for nothing.
To be certain there was no mistake
the above was read to DR.. Gobron, and
all he objected to was the reference to
the Massachusetts Medical society, as
he said: Its publication might hurt
them little" General indignation
prevails over the heartless action of
the alleged physician, and his house
was this afternoon stoned by an angry
crowd of people.

A Virginia Paper Brought to Terms by
the American Book Company.
A dispatch from Norfolk, Va says:
''The American Book company Of New
York has just gained signal victory in the
courts Of Virginia and has received an alb
solute and complete vindication after long
and exhaustive trial by special jury in the
Circuit court of this Guy. The Pilot news
paper of this city, upon the awarding Of
the contract for school books to the Amer
lean Book company, printed long article
written and prepared by h, e. Byrd, an
agent and attorney for CHM a. Co., Of New
York, in which it was charged that the
state superintendent had been bribed by
the American Book company. The Pilot
was Immediately sued for libel, and, after
a five weeks trial, which created an inn
mense amount Of interest throughout the
state, a verdict for punitive damages was
recently awarded, and the jury found that
the statements made were false and u
deliberate libel Not only so, but the
company, upon unimIeachable evidence,
was proved to have dealt honorably and up
rightly in every particular in their negotia-
tions with the state officials. 1t was furth-
or proved at the trial that no better terms
had been made with any other state for
school books. In fact, the attorney-general
of Virginia stated that the American Book
company seemed to throw open their whole
business to us, and after full and complete
examination of all the original contracts
made with the various states he expressed
himself as absolutely satisfied that the
prices we're the same in all cases and that
no discrimination whatever had been made
against the state Of Virginia Furthermore
be mentioned that none Of the statements
of the American Book company had been
accepted until every one Of them had been
absolutely verified by direct reference to
the governors Of some fifteen states, with
whom contracts had been made. This
proved conclusively that the representations
of the American Book company were cor
rect in toto. This celebrated case has thus
ended in complete triumph in every re-
spect for the American Book company, and
has shown in clear contrast the clean and
business-like methods in which they carry
on, their great industry as compared with
the attempted use Of political pulls and
misstatements by their opponents. Chit

of Mrs. Kitson's strongest work ap-

she constructed a statue representing

structors for a pair of life-sized busts.
The same honor was conferred upon
her in the salon Of 1889 for a three

New way OF Fighting tho American
Tobacco Company.
CHICAGO, Sept, 26,--If the position
assumed by A. II. Hunzinger 81 Co.
with regard to the American Tobacco
company be sustained by the circuit
court, it will produce II highly impor-
tant change in the tobacco business.
The American Tobacco company sent
a consignment OF goods to A. IL, Hun
Finger, amounting to $4,000. The COM
pany did not pay and repeated de-
mands met with silent contempt.
The American Tobacco company
then began an assumpsit suit, and
now the secret of the refusal of
A. Il. Hunzinger to pay for the goods
is disclosed. A plea was filed in the
case by Moses Pam and Kennedy for
A. II. Hunzinger, defending the action
on the ground that the American To-
bacco company is trust and cannot
therefore collect dollar for the goods
sold by it. A. H. Hunzinger &c Co.
have not begun the fight against the
so-called trust single-handed. There
is number Of large firms in New
York City which are back of the Chi
cago firms fight The defense made is
not, therefore, solely an attempt to
evade payment, but is determined
effort on the part of a large number of
concerns to have the American To-
bacco company declared a trust The
plea is made under section of the
antitrust law. The case comes up
