It took long time to bring the Eng
1ish to the conclusion that the Ameri-
can railway car is superior to their
own heavy one, divided into compart-
ments in which travellers may be MUIR
dered and nobody find out who did it.
Perhaps they were convinced in their
minds years ago, but were waiting for
their old clumsy cars to wear out. Now,
however, the change to the American
plan Of construction has begun. A firm
at Wilmington, DEL, has received or
ders to build for the Southeastern Rail-
way company Of London a number of
American parlor cars for their road A
sample car was shipped first to try on
the British and see how they would
take it. The result was satisfactory.
The cars will be built of the best ma
terial and artistically. decorated In
America these cars that are to be sent
to England would have each the words
"parlor carr painted upon the outside.
In England, however, they will be
marked first class car" and fee
additional will be charged for their use.

ssThe 1hird Degree,

In the dark ages thumbscreWs. hone
crushing machines and other ingenious
devices were employed to extort from
prisoners confessions of crime. Often
times they were so tortured that they
lost their reason and :fessed to things
they never did. But if they survived
the bone crushing they were hanged
anyhow. fortunes of nature NOT less
revolving are said to be resorted to
by Weyler in Cuba, and he is heralded
from one end of this land to the other
as bloodthirsty monster.
In our humane and enlightened land
and age no such fiendish torturos are
employed. Oh, no!
But let us see. He who reads IF the
processes of terror invented, it is said,
by the New York police is by no means
certain whether we are one whit more
merciful or civilized than Butcher Wey-
Ter or the middle age inquisition, In
theory prisoner is adjudged innocent
till he is proved guilty. And whether
he is guilty or innocent it is none of
the policies business in any manner,
shape or form. Their business is to ar
rest; the courts determine the rest. But
when person is accused of murder
the New York fashion, unfortunately
spreading elsewhere, is for the police
to subject the poor wretch to a refine
ment of mental suffering compared to
which the thumbscrew of the middle
ages is merciful. The prisoner is watched
every moment night and day conscious
~. If he SO much as yawn, a note is
made of it. Every turn he takes there
are those bloodthirsty eyes boring into
him. He is visited and subjected to
cross examination calculated with
tiendish subtlety to throw him off his
guard and make him incriminate him.
self, innocent or guilty. A man suspect
ed Of murder in Connecticut was lately
cross examined in this way for nine
hours at one stretch. Then the self an
pointed torturers reported that he con-
tradicted himself several times. The
shrewdest police spy in the Union would
have done the same under like circum-
stance. This process of torture is called
by those who resort to it the third de-
gree" A part of it is to take the &C.
cused under guard to the scene of the
murder and note how he behaves. In
the name of civilization we protest
against this brutality and unwarrant-
able assumption of authority by police
men. Even helpless prisoners have some
human rights.
