The Brutal Method One London Female
 Has for Making a Living.
 Henry Labouchere, of the London Truth, has been Investigating the methods of the professional ''foggers" in and near London. One of them-a woman-in an interview frankly told him about her methods. She goes about London flogg;ng girls and boys. She uses birch, which she makes up herself She has a ''tawse" for use if desired, but prefers the birch as being more efficacious. She is described as a middle-aged female, short, but strong ly built, and of unprepossessing fea. lures. Her correspondence and speech show her to be illiterate. Her manners are coarse. She says her father was the rector of Cranbrook.
 Flogging is her prescription for all moral and mental ills. She always, however, commences the operation by spanking" with her hand. The inter. viewer having expressed skepticism about the efficacy of spanking" she invited him to hold out his hand and try it, and gave him a blow which left no desire for another. Anxious to complete his knowledge he next held out his hand for taste of the birch, and received two blows from the shoulder. 'I pity" he says. "the girl who gets one such blow" One, how ever, is out of the question. Mrs. Peirce's minimum allowance is eight or ten ''spanks," followed by sixteen strokes with a birch, which would be increased to eighteen, twenty, or five and twenty at discretion. She stated that she had recently logged one girl twenty years of age five times in fort night. If girls began to scream un- der the operation she forced into their mouths woolen pad covered with silk.
 After the whipping" she said, "I give them a good lecture and read them chapter of the Bible. always carry my Bible with me for this pur- pose" Here, it will be seen, the "clergyman's daughter" comes in. Of her own accord, however, she proceed ed to inform her interviewer that she was in the habit of birching not only boys and girls, but grown men.

TO LIFT NAPLES.
An Italian Engineer Would Construct an
 Elevated Railway There.

An Italian Engineer Would Construct sn
 Elevated Railway There.
 If the scheme elaborated by an Ital- ian engineer for the construction of an elevated railway in Naples is car ried into execution Italy will, accord ing to the Electrical Review, possess one of the most remarkable structures in the world. As far as length is con- cerned the projected line IS not of great importance, but the boldness of the idea and its originality are strik- ing. Let the imagination conceive the hilly portion of town connected by means of viaducts and towers, with that part lying at low level, and the substance of A. Avena's project will then be readily understood. The hand some and populous part of Naples, radiating from Via Roma, has only communication with the Corso Wit torio Emmanuele, the San Martino hill, and the tat still higher leveD new Rione del Vomero by means of narrow, tortuous streets, many of them being impracticable for carriage traffic. It is between these two ex- treme localities that the proposed ele- vated railway is to form connection. The line is to be carried on two metal lie vIaducts, each divided so as to form 8 double way, one for the operation of electric cars and the other for pedes- trians. A masonry tower 325 feet high is to be built in the Via Roma, and from this the first viaduct, 1,1sO feet long. will be carried to the Corso Wit torio Emmanuele, where it will termi- nate in the base of a metallic tower 49O feet in height. The second via duct, $50 feet long and branching out of this tower some distance below the summit, will pass over the San Mar tino hill and end in the ground level at the new Rione del Vomero. The viaducts will be carried on pyramidical metallic towers having masonry foun. dations; and the masonry tower at the beginning of the first viaduct and the metallic tower, connecting the two viaducts, will each be provided with staircases and capacious lifts for conveying passengers up and down. Passengers entering the cars at either end of the line will not be compelled to change their seats on arriving at the metallic tower, as the cars will be au- tomatically placed on the lifts for as- cending or descending from the high est viaduct, when the cars will con- tinue their way to either terminus. Generating stations will be provided at each terminus for producing current for lighting and power purposes. The undertaking, a concession for which has been granted, would provide splendid view of the whole of Naples.

What Q Revenue Officer Discovered In ehs

 For many years Eph Honeycutt. of Mission, Stanley county, has conducted brandy distillery, and had a reputa- tion throughout that country for mak- ing the best brandy to be had, says the Charlotte News The distillerv was always conducted in an orderly way, which is not the case with all of them.
 The other day a revenue officer went down to the still to mark up the bran dy, and To, and behold! & woman was attending to things. The officer in- quired of the woman as to Honevcutt's whereabouts
 "He's not here; does not<stay here," replied the worian. =
 "Well, who runs the still?"
 "Why, l do, of course. have been attending to it for these many days, and can make just as good brandy as Eph Honeycutt can"
 Well, who are you, and who does this distillery belong to?" asked the officer in astonishment,
 'The whole thing, including myself, belongs to Eph Honeycutt, for am his wife. attend to things for him, be- cause he has the farm and other mat ters to look after"
 And then she went around to "chunk" up the fire and squeezed the flannel strainer in the doubling kep" to see if the ''singlings" were strong enough.

old BuI Botts Had Found the Heathen
 ChInsc Not at All Accommodating.
 A good, honest fellow in his way was Bill Botts, but he had never had an op- portunity to study moral philosophy As taught in the colleges and universi- ties. says the New York Herald. He came from Biddeforl, in Devon, and very likely some of his ancestors had helped Drake "wallop" the Spaniarls. He had followed in their footsteps by enlisting in the navy to fight for his queen and country whenever called upon to do so.
 When he returned from voyage to China he brought with him a present for 6 gentleman who had been very kind to his old mother during his absence. 1t was Q curiously fashioned Chinese garment made of bits of s species of straw strung together.
 "Plase, sur, you must excoos un be- ing torn," he said, bashfully, when he presented it, "the Chinaman wouldn't part with un aisy."
 He had run across a Chinaman wear ing it somewhere in the streets of Hong Kong, and the unfortunate celestial not understanding his sum- mary request to hand that over here" he had simply yanlsed it of him.
 To tho suggestion that his conduct had hardly been consistent with strict honesty he replied:
 ''Beggin' your pardon, sur, he wuz only haythen, an never heard that taking things from haythen counted as stalin'."
 "Well," replied his friend, eff many illustrious Englishmcn had not acted on that assumption l don't know where the British empire would now be; so I'll keep the heathen's gar ucnts."

He Keeps Tab ou the Conductor by Means
 of . Silent Pocket Register.
 For several months conductors have been watching men who habitually stand on rear platforms, says the In- dianapolis News. That is the spot. ter's position. Professional spotters never give themselves away" by counting the passengers. The spotter 2 earrys small poiseless register in one of the pockets of his overcoat. He is most likely to appear on a car that is 10 carry big load. He takes his place on the rear platform and always appears to be the most unconcerned . man on the car. The first thing he does is to glance at the register in the front of the car. He makes mental note of the number of fares that have been rung up. Every time a passenger gets on he presses the button .of the little register in his pocket. He never appears to be watching the persons who are getting in the car, but he must be careful not to miss one. He rides on the platform until the fares of all the persons who have got on the car since he took his position have been col 1ected. His last act before getting off is the mental registration of the num- Der of fares indicated by the register in the car. If he has another test to make before making his report, he will probably stop under the first electric light, write down on the blank fur nished him the number of fares regis tered when he got on the car and the number registered when he got of. He subtracts one from the other, and has before him the number of fares the conductor should have registered. Then he looks at his indicator, and if there is dis crepancy between his count and the count the conductor registers he re- ports the fact to the company.
 A conductor who is discharged is never accused of having stolen money from the company. The charge is Jim properly collecting fares" It is not often that a conductor is discharged the first time it is reported to the com pany that he is improperly collecting fnres." The test is applied to him ire quently, and if it is found that he is habitually not ringing up fares for all the persons who take passage on his car he is dismissed. Conductors be- lieve that the means employed by spotters are unfair. They say that it is often impossible for any man to get all the fares on a car; that it is an easy matter to get all the fares when car is not crowded, but when fifty or sixty persons board Q car bound up- town it is next to impossible to collect without an error. Often persons will get off the ear before the conductor has reached them, and, hampered as he is by the crowd, they say, he cannot prevent this. Then persons are getting on and off. exchanging seats and doing other things that mystify the conductor as he pushes his way through the crowd in search of the nickels that are due the company.

 The kind-hearted old gentleman watched the TouSg-woman seated next to hiIa the elevated train with in- terest, says the New York World. She held magazine in her hands with the -sAaves uncut She looked through the table of coStents and raised the cor ners of the leaves so as to get a glimpse of various nlustrations. The old gen. t lsSeman drew out his pocketlnife hesi- tatingly. He opened it still more hesi- tatingly. The young wom2E seemed entirely oblivious of his acts and evil dent intentions, but their fellow pas sengers were able to arouse great deal of interest in t,fe proceeding.

pastor of All Souls has come out as
disbeliever In the theory that the actual

OF course, his church will be crowded,

There are other Episcopal clergymen
who have for some time regarded DIR.
Newton as too advanced for the times.
The independent spirit of the well-known
preacher has brought him into relations
with Bishop Potter when the Bishop is
said to have warned him against lack OF
discipline. This has not been pleasing TO
DR.. Newton, and he has now set out to
show that faith does not require preach

Bible. His sermon OF next Sunday will

sAM DURAN1 WIN A LADY.
Damaging Testimony Br ought Out In the
Trial OF the Alleged Murderer.

SAN FRANCISCO. April PA close In
yestigation Of the wash-room In Emanuel
church was made yesterday. This wash
room could only have been reached by
some one thoroughly familiar with the
building Besides a number OF stains on
the wash-bowl, there are numerous stains
on the splashers surrounding 1t. Blood
stains have also been found on the walls
OF the little hall leading to the wash
room The extent OF the blood-stains goes
to prove that the murderer had no li8nt,
for a judiciOuS person, as his actions
prove him, would not have spattered so
much blood around. had he seen what he
was doing. The bood-stained coat, which
was brought TO light In Berkeley on
Monday, has caused a sensation there, but
there is considerable difficulty in deter
mining the date on which 1t was found.
Mrs Boillot, with whom the package was
left. tells three different stories as to the
date on which a strange man asked per-
mission to leave bundle at her home for
a few hours Mrs. Boillot says the man
resembled Durant very much, and she
believes she could Identify him.
Interest in the trial continues unabated.
A new witness was presented to-day.
His name Is Adolph A. Habe. He had
been schoolmate of the prisoner, and
had known him for about eight years.
He testified to having seen Durant at the
ferry at o'clock on the fatal night. The
accused was accompanied by young

pearance on the witness-stard created
a great stir In the courtroom, and the
spectators eyinced great interst in the
testimony given by him.
