many, had been sent out as vice chan

resented the governor, and during the
BakOko rising had acted as chief of the
police force. His administration was
systematized cruelty of kind which n
few instances will illustrate. Augustus
Bell, "a Niger, was accused Of hav-

charge, and Vice Chancellor Wehlan
condemned him to receive 60 strokes of

him to confess. When this sentence was
executed, the mans body was jelly.
Dr. Valentin said that "a raw hacked
beefsteak was nothing in comparison "

waist so that he could be plunged into
the water. One Of three prisoners whom
he had in custody was helped by a cool

A naltlmore Carrier, stamp.

DR.. John Morris OF this city has in
his possession a stamp which was issued
by the carriers of Baltimore antecedent
to the Inauguration Of the free delivery
system. DIR. Morris was postmaster Of
Baltimore from 1857 to 1861, and it
was during his administration that the
carriers stamp was employed here. 1t
is 1 cent stamp.
The stamp was issued by the carriers
for their own convenience. The system
obtaining at that time, by which they
collected the cost Of postage from patrons
Of the postal service to whom letters
were delivered, was troublesome to the
carriers, and in order to save themselves
the Inconvenience, the carriers institut-
ed this stamp. 1t was continued until
the act Of congress was passed establish
ing free delivery. The stamp is great
rarity, very few of them being in exist
ence. Baltimore American.

which is extensively used as a cheap
substitute for horsehair, according to
the following process: The fiber is ex-
tracted either by hand combing or by
means of drums with needles and knives
worked by steam power. The green fiber
is twisted or curled in its raw state and
finds several applications. The black
sort is at first dyed in baths of sulphate
of iron and logwood, then twisted and
again dyed. This fiber, it is alleged,
possesses two advantages over animal
fiber. which have led to its extensive
employment, it being exempt from in

less expensive than horsehair. There
are, it is said, large works in Algeria,
where the leaves are bought in large

SAFETY OF RAILROAD TRAVEL

Statistics Show That Man May Travel 1S1
Years Before Being Killed.
In The Ladies' Home Journal John
Gilmer Speed writes entertainingly and
instructively ON the construction and
operation OF railroads under the caption
Trimming a Train at Night" He pref
atorily asserts that the most remark
able achievements. of modern civilization
probably are those which affect travel
ing, making it at once quick, comfort
able and secure. We cross states and
continents at the rate Of 80 miles an
hour with greater security against acct
dent than our grandfathers enjoyed in
their stagecOaches, and we have, even
when ON the cars, comforts unknown in
the palaces of kings when our GRANDPA
TIERS grandfathers were young.
During the year (from interstate COM
merce consrnission's report for year end
ing July 1, 1S94) one passenger was
killed for every 1885, 1913 passengers
carried, and one was injured for every
1873, 1923 carried. This surely is as safe
as living ordinary humdrum lives in
large cities. The report further shows
that a mans chances against injury
were such that he would have to travel
4, 4O6, 900 miles before getting hurt and
go AZ, 5SS, 900 miles before being killed.
At the rate Of 80 miles an hour man
could travel, if nature permitted, on
American railways for 1S1 years, with
out leaving the cars, before beingdzilled.
or with the same amount of security
against accident he could go round the
earth .9O3 times before meeting his
death by accident and I76 times before
getting hurt
