CALDN[lL and BRlD[NAk
Now at the Penitentiary to Await
the Death Sentence,
TALKED TO A REGISTER RE-
PORTER YESTERDAY -CALD-
WELL CLAIMS HE DID NOT
HAVE A FAIR TRIAL-BOTH
MEN DESPONDENT, BUT HOPE
FOR A COMPUTATION.

The two condemned murderers, Shep
Caldwell and Frank Bradenax, lately re-
ceived from Mcdowell County, at the
Moundsville penitentiary, now realize
their position.
At first they refused to talk, but yes
terday a Register reporter obtained an
interview with each. They talked very
freely, but it was easy to note that
both men already feel their position.
Caldwell, who murdered his wife,
claims that he did not have fair trial,
and was not even allowed to testify in
his own behalf. He claims to have been
in company with another colored man,
and did not fire the fatal shot inten-
tionally. This, however, is only his
side of the case and is not believed by
the authorities at the prison. When he
was received at the penitentiary he
cried like a baby, and since his con-
finement spends much time in sobbing
like a young child. Yesterday, howev-
er, he was smoking a cigarette when
the Register reporter came to his cell.
He also asked for a bible and seems
to realize that it is in order to prepare
himself for the end. He does not en-
terrain any hope from the Governor, as
he has no lawyer or any friends to aid
him.
BradenaX also seems very respondent
over his position, but has hopes that
his sentence may be committed to life
Imprisonment He claims to own a
house and lot at Keystone, W. Va, and
has written to his wife to sell the same
in order to secure a lawyer, who will
work to save his neck. He, like Cald-
well, claims that the killing he done
was not intentional, but everything
was against him at his trial. The boy
he murdered was a chum of his and
they worked together on a railroad.
The revolver used was very old one,
and he thought that it was not loaded.
The cartridge, however, was not very
good one and did not explode until after
three attempts. This story he claims
is the true version of the affair, and he
naturally feels very bad over the posi-
ton he is in. Yesterday, however, he
was smoking in his cell and tried to be
as cheerful as possible. Two death
watches have been SupDlied by the
warden, and from this time on until
the execution, both men will be careful
ly guarded.
Bradenax, like Caldwell has bible
and reads the same much of the time.
The regular death cells are now being
placed in position and by the latter part
of the week both men will likely be
quartered in them.

Roses and VioletA.

The scent of the sweetest rose be-
comes uoxious and the humble violet
seems to be scowling up at you from
under its eyebrows when you know
that these flowers and their fellows are
indebted to the deadly microbes for
their coIors and scents. The delicate
pink of the Rothschild rose is COM
posed of the bodies of thousands of the
identical microbes which bring death
through consumption to so many of
our friends and relations. The violet
and pansy get their odor from the can
Ger microbe, the tulip from the gout
germ, and the geranium from the scar
Leftover bacillus. Likewise, every
time you inhale the scent of any flower
you are in reality gulping down
mouthful after mouthful of some ter
rible disease. There is no way of dis
injecting flowers, as they are actually
composed of microbes, and if you take
the latter away no flower is left.

TIBETAN DEATH DANCES.
Ceremony of the sacrifcial Body of
tho Dead Year.

Ceremony of the sacrifcial Body of
tho Dead Year"
Very strange performances are the
death dances of tie Tibetan mystery
plays, one of which is performed on the
last three days Of the year and is called
1.-The ceremony OF the sacrificial body
OF the dead year." The effigy of
man made out of dough as lifelike as
possible and having inside a distinct
heart and all the entrails filled with a
red fluid, is placed by four cemetery
ghouls in sight of the numerous spec
tators in the center of the yard, and
at once bands OF skeleton ghosts rush
upon the corpse to attack it. This is
the time to display the necromatic
power of. Lamaism over the evil spirits.
Monks and lamas come forth and go
through a series of ceremonies, the
magic effect of which keeps the fiends
away. But a more formidable devil,
with great horns and possessed OF su-
perior powers, makes his appearance
and takes the field. Whereupon a saint
or an incarnation of Buddha himself
comes to the rescue, sprays flour on
the enemy, makes mystic signs and
utters incantations. The skeleton
ghosts and the big fiend grovel before
him and implore mercy. He gracious
ly yields to their supplications and al
lows them to partake of sacramental
meal. While they kneel before him
he gives to each one of them a little
-four to eat and drink out of a vessel
of holy water. This concludes the days
{s,
not destined to be preserved. On the
next day the fight is renewed, and after
cannonade with blessed mustard seed
and other exorcisms, an awful demon
appears whose title is ''the Holy King
of Religion" He wears the head of
bull, dagger in the right and the
effgy of a human heart in the left
hand. This strange figure seems to
represent the main deity of the ancient
Tibetans when they were still in the
habit Of offering human sacrifices, not
in efiigy, but in reality. The demon
god has been converted by Buddha and
becomes protector of Buddhism. He
Is now satisfied with human sacrifices
In efigy, and the man made of dough,
being supposed to be an enemy OF Tt
bet, is surrendered to him. He dances
round the figure Of the man on the
ground, stabs him, binds his feet In a
snare, and at last cuts off his limbs,
Sits open his breast. takes out his
bleeding heart, lungs. and other intes-
tines. At this moment horde OF
monsters falls upon the remnants of
the dismembered dough-man and scat
tiers them in all directions. The pieces
are collected again in a silver basin and
the holy king of religion, eating a NOR
sci. throws them up in the air. This
is the signal for the finale; the pieces
are caught and fought for by the de-
mons. and at last the crowd of specta
tors joins the general scramble for
pieces of dough. representing human
flesh, which they either eat or treasure
up as talismans.-Open Court.

Popularity of Snakes.

A snake tanner who had trained a
serpent to follow him around the house
and even out Of doors happened one
day to take it with him to "a strange
place. The snake, unused to the local

training, and, escaping into the bushes,
resisted capture with bites and every
indication OF wildness. When caught
1t at once resumed its tame habits The
tendency to become wild Immediately
upon obtaining their freedom and to
again become tame when caught IL said

GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE

The new government printing office
will cost about 100000 and it is said
that even after its completion it will
not be large enough to meet the de-
mands upon it. The new building will
be eight stories in height and its floor
space will be about nine acres. The
floors will sustain a load of S5 900, 900
pounds.
The building will be constructed in
such substantial manner that nearly
the entire space can be filled with paper
and books without injuring its stability
in any degree, says the Scientific Amer
lean. Access to the various floors will
be obtained by twelve electric eleva-
tors. The building will be lighted with
1000 incandescent lights. refrigera-
ting plant will furnish cold filtered
water on every floor for drinking pur-
poses.
A large crematory will destroy all
the refuse material and this will aid in
heating water, etc. 1t Is hoped in time
that congress will appropriate mon
ey for modern typesetting machines,

is complete and the reports published
the equipment of the census printing

MINING LAWS
OF THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA
T heir Present Status
Is Made Clear.

Ever since TREY l. Ford has filed the
Office of Attorney General he has had
numerous inquiries from people in all
parts of the country as to the present
status of the mining laws of California
relating to mining locations and mining
records. Considering that for several
years he was the attorney for the Cali
fornia Miners Association his views upon
these subjects are worthy of careful at
tention. and his conclusions will no doubt
be accepted as correct interpretations of
the statutes. Mr.. Ford has clearly ex-
pressed his views and opinions on this
matter recently in private letter to Will
liam F. Eschbacher. In his communica-
ton Mr.. Ford said:
Prior to 1897 there had been no State law in
mining claims should be located requiring
March o. 1897 however, undertook to pre-
should be located upon the public domain. at
the same time requiring the notice Of location
10 be recorded with the County Recorder Of
the county in which the claim was situated
This act also abolished mining districts
throughout the State, and required the district
records to be deposited with the County Re
corders of the several counties.
The act last referred was repealed by the
act of March 70. 1899, thus leaving the State
law with reference to the location and record
