VERDICT FOR SAILORS.
Men Who Went to Alaska Get Judg-
ment Against the Alaska Pack
ers' Association.


Sixty-eight sailors and fishermen who
are suing the Alaska Packers Associat ton
were made glad yesterday by the decision
of Justice of the Peace Barry in the
case of Frank Johnson against the corpo-
ration.
The men shipped on March 5 last on q
salmon fishing trip to Alaska They dis
agreed with the company because they
were not permitted to fish when oppor-
tunity offered and refused to work fur
ther, whereupon they were discharged by
the company and sent back to San Fran
cisco.
They claimed $191 each as compensation
for the trip. while the company alleged
that only S166 80 was due for labor per-
formed, ana that each man was inde bted
to the company in the sum OF $92 So for
board, supplies and fare home, reducing
the accounts to $74 IS each, which was ten
dered the men.
The court accepted the claim of the men
as TO the amount due and allowed the
counter claim of the company, giving q
judgment in Johnson's case for $99 %.
The other cases being exactly similar

A HYPNOTIC SLEEP.

Cheshire Slumbers Regardless of Noise
or Human Touch.
A large audience gathered at the Bush :
street Theater last night to see Kennedy
in his hypnotic performance, the particular
attraction being the trance feature of the
show. This feature was embraced in the
cataleptic sleep of George Cheshire, who
was hypnotized on Sunday night with a
promise that he would not be aroused for
an entire week.
During the day several thousand people
and many doctors viewed the sIum berer
and tried to awaken him, all in vain. The
registrations on the book showed that the
slumberer's pulse had gone down gradu.
ally since he was first placed under con-
troll, and that his respiration had been
under normal.
Cheshire was fed beef tea twice du ing
the day, but at no time did he open his
eyes nor were the eyeballs found to be
sensitive to the touch.

A European Idea.
script.

One of the most characteristic features
Of European prisons as whole is that
prisoners are allowed to have portion
of their earnings. This system prevails
i'll France, Germany. Italy, Switzerland,
Russia, Sweden, Denmark and other
countries. The amount earned by the
prisoners varies considerably where it
depends upon piece work. In France the
average salary of the prisoner is 30 cents
Il day. OF this amount the prisoner is
allowed to spend one-half while in pris-
Oh for supplementary food and clothing,
postage. etc. though no expenditure is
made without the approval of the adj
administrations. The other half is reserved
until the time Of his discharge. A three
years prisoner has TO his credit on leay-
ing an average of 500, four years
prisoner $40 and five years prisoner
about 500. Chicago Record.

MEN WORSE THAN APES.
Revolving Customs OF Some of the Africa
Cannibal Tribes.

Revolving Custom, OF Some of the Africa,
Cannibal Tribes.
The cannibalism Of the black secret
society known as the Human Leoparts
in the country near Sierra Leone brings
forcibly before Us the difference between
the east African and west African hab-
its of eating human flesh. The Sherbo
cannibals waylaid and killed their vic
Tins and afterward Toasted on their
flesh. The cannibalism of the east coast
is of very different kind. The flesh Of
the old people-the grandfather and
grandmother Of family-is dried and
mixed with condiments, and & portion
Of this is offered, with q dim sort IF
sacramental meaning, to travellers who
become guests Of the family. To refuse
1t would be q deadly insult. To accept
it is passport to the privileged position
Of friend Of the house. Many of cur
travellers in east Africa have eaten thus
sacramentally Of the ancestors Of some
dark skinned potentate.
The cannibalism of the west coast is
Of a more horrible kind, connected with
fetichism, the worst developments of
which are peculiar to that country But
there is hideously genuine appetite for
fresh human flesh still existing among
the negroes of west Africa. This canni-
balism manifests itself in a refinement
of gluttony which has its mild analogy
in the tastes Of Europeans. Young boys
are bought from the dark interior, kept
III pens, fattened upon bananas and fin
ally killed and baked. To these Thycs-
team feasts come not only the savage
chiefs of the interior, but also, it is
whispered, black merchants from the
coast. Men who appear at their places
of business in English territory in broad
cloth and tall hats, who ape the man
ners Of their white masters, are said to
disappear annually into the interior,
where, we are told, they might be seen
in naked savagery taking part i'll the
banquets Oh plump boys, in which they
delight.
BE this as it may, somehow the native
of the ives. coast and its Hinterland is
unlike the East or South African native
i'll the deep lying savagery and the ex-
traordinary facility for returning to it
which are his leading and very unpleas-
ant characteristics. The subject claims
the attention of the anthropologist, and
certainly suggests a curious reason for
questioning the relationship of the black
man and the ape or the gorilla, seeing
that the race of monkeys seems to be
singularly free from anything like can
nibalism. Saturday Review.
