THE EXTREME PENALTY.

Justice Bradley Gives VIM, Perry
Eight Years in Penftentiary.
Judge Bradley. sitting in Criminal Court
No. .. this afternoon again demonstrated
that no one convicted before him of at
tempting to take the life of another will
escape the imposition of the extreme PEN
atty Of the law. when he sentenced VIII
liam. alias Boodlum. Perry, young COL
ored man. convicted recently of shooting
Charles Brooks. colored, the 11th of last
september. TO eight years at hard labor in
the New Jersey state prison.
1t appeared during the trial that Perry
shot at Brooks twice. one shot hitting him
In the arm and the other striking an old
coioreo clam man, who said: 'Ef / Ibis to
see tree weeks to Chris'mu on a VEINS
gay at 10 O'Clock of de 9th, I'll be gwine
into fifty-nine."
In imposing sentence, Judge Bradley said :
several years ago I announced, while
holding Criminal Court, that would there
AFTER Impose the maximum penalty in
every case where there had been an at
tempt to take human life. 1 made that an
nouncement that the lawless class might
fully understand what to expect from me.
Il can look with some leniency where
property has been taken. but where IL ap-
pears that there has been an attempt 40
take human life. Or where IL has been
placed In jeopardy by reckless disregard
can view such thing with no leniency.

atty N such case and never WILL for IL
I ieei that person mas not been shown to
De clearly guilty. 1 will grant a new trial
IN the case. But when the guilt of the
party IS clearly established, shall impose
the extreme penalty, regretting that i cam
not make it greater
S9cn oHenses are entirely too frequent
HaIdiy day passes that we do not hear
vi them through our local press. The only
way TO stop them is to impose in every
case the maximum penalty. The defendant

Charles Wainright of Toms River, n. j.,

is no necessity of his going to the Klondike
region, as the Klondike product seems to
be coming to him, without any trouble on
his part.
A few days ago Mr.. wainwright received
u carload of western corn, and while he
was grinding it he noticed that something
was wrong with the heavy process rollers.
He stopped the machinery to investigate.

He took the nugget to a local jeweler.

native gold. 1t weighed nineteen penny
weights and eighteen grains. and MI. VAIN
right was offered SIS for it, but preferred
to keep 1t as q curiosity. Where the gold
came from is mystery, but Miller VAIN

LIBERIA A PLAGUE SPOT,
Frightful Experience of American
Negroes Who Went There.

FriEhtful Experience of American
Negroes Who Went There.
From the London Mail.
There have just arrived in Liverpool from
Liberia eight colored persons, citizens of
the United States and formerly would-be
citizens Of the Liberian republic. They told
fearful story of their distress to Daily
Mail representative. Seventeen months ago
these poor people, whose names are G. F.
Farmer and wife and Otley Waite and five
children, We're tempted to sell their all in
America and proceed to the dark African
republic, which was pictured to them as a
land flowing with milk and honey. In
company with 315 others they left Savan-
rah in the American schooner Labrador
On their arrival at Liberia they soon found
that it was no Canaan. Nevertheless they
Re solved to make the best of it, and that
proved very bad indeed.
OF the 315 few are now alive The
Liberian government, indeed granted the
Immigrants land, but nothing could be done
with it. The land was a hotbed of fever
and it was dangerous to live on it before
enc was 'Salted." Waite tried to cultivate
a portion eighteen miles from where his
family lived He was afraid to take them
to his holding, as the number of abandoned
nuts round about warned him of the dead
illness of the place.
The immigration agents represented in
their circulars that Liberia was the home
of the negroes and all were invited to come
nome. Gold and diamonds were said to be
as common as stones in America. but :"
said Waite, with tinge of sarcasm Il
have never seen one since 1 have been
there; have been looking mighty hard for
one"
Out of the 315 who went with him in the
Labrador ninety-three died within six
months. He then lost count, but he is now
of the opinion that quite half of those who
went in the ship are dead. All who could
went back to America but these were few.
They had all made up their minds on
board the ship to stay together and form
one settlement in Liberia, but this the gov
eminent officials would not allow Waite
said they were told openly that the Liber-
ians were afraid if they settled in the place
they would become too powerful ard take
the government from the Liberian subjects
In America they were told the Liberian
soil could grow anything but they could
only grow cassava, potatoes and coffee and
as coffee took six years to bear the emf
grants could not wait. The climate how
ever, was terrible to the newcomers The
cry was general among AL the emlgrants
to get back to their homes in the states
According to WaiteS statement there were
at present at least 500 colored Americans in
Liberia who were longing to leave that
country and We're prevented doing so solely
on account of having no funds
Both Waite and Farmer say If they can
get back to America they will take care
that no more negroes emigrate to Liberia
At present they are destitute and unless
help is forthcoming they will not achieve
their desire.

INDIANS AND GAME.
The Question of the Red Mems Right
to Hunt During the Closed Season.

10 Hunt During the SlOSeO season.
From the Denver Republican.
1t is said that the federal authorities In
tend to investigate the trouble near the
Utah border between the Utes and the
game wardens. What it is thought would
be accomplished by the proposed investiga-
ion is rot disclosed, but in any event, it
can do no harm.
The relation of Indians to the game laws
of the far western states is one of great
Importance, if these laws are to be enforced
and a genuine attempt made to preserve
game. 1t IS subject to which few persons
have given any thought and doubtless it
has not occurred to many persons living In
the east that there is any occasion for COM
plant against the Indians on account of vi
Citations of the game laws. 1t will be we'll
therefore, if the proposed investigation
brings TO light the real situation, and, shows
the public Just how difficult the Indians
make the enforcement of such laws.
One thing Is sure. and that is that game
is not preserved by the enforcement OF
state laws for the purpose of providing he
Indians with good hunting grounds. Either
these laws should be enforced against In
dams as well as against whites, or the at
tempt to enforce them at all might as well
be given up. Public sentiment would not
sustain the enforcement of laws which
would restrict the liberty of white men in
ways that would inure directly to the bene-
fit of the Indians.
The Utes, have claimed certain hunting
privileges in that part of Colorado which
they sold when they removed to Utah
What their rights or privileges are should
be clearly ascertained and definitely deter
mined. To grant that they have a right to
hunt does not involve the admission that
they have a right to do so out of season
They have no superior right than the peo-
pie of Colorado. and if the Legislature of
this state can prohibit citizens of Colorado
from killing game at certain times of the
year. the prohibition can be extended to
the Ute Indians
Everything considered, the proposed in
Vestlgauon by the federai authorities would
probably be productive of good. But the
state authorities should conduct an investi-
cation also. This should be done regardless
of what the authorities in Washington may

GAME SHOULD BE MODIFIED

Foot Ball.

BUFFALO. N. Y, November 26.-Presi-
dent Jones of Hobart College, who witness
ed the game yesterday between his college
and the University of Buffalo freshmen,
said in the course of an interview:
I like foot ball and enjoy seeing game.
Brutal? Not a bit of 1t. OF course players
do get hurt in 1t, but that is true of other
sports. But serious accidents are rare in
foot ball, as compared with other games of
like nature; yet because they do happen I

Il believe that there should be fewer mass
plays and more open playing in a game.
Then, too. l would like to see low tackling
abolished The danger in foot ball is not
of the big accidents that we always hear
of, but the little ones The wrenched knees,
the strained shoulders, hurt ankles and
such things are the harmful results of the
game, and all or many CT these could be
eliminated by making a few changes in
the manner of playing. Again, there is too
mucn professionalism in the game as play
cd today.
Understand, this Is not a charge against
our opponents of yesterday. There is alto
sethcr too much of getting men into col
lege because they can play good game.
They are induced to come to certain col
lege either by offers of money, tuition or
other things. They register as students and
