consuls and both English and American
representatives agree to hoist their
flags over the threatened houses. The
German consul, however, demurred,
consult the captain of the warship
Bussard
Fortunately, the captain of the Eng
hsh warship Porpoise was a man of
vigor and dash. Through his influence
clash was averted. He promptly
cleared his ship for action and declared
in favor of the English speaking con-
suls. Meanwhile, native guards pa
troled the roads and the threatened at
tack of Mataafa's fanatical adherents
was averted.
The most sensational scene in the
drama occurred, however on Deem
Der &C. when all the evidence in the case
had been heard, and Guerr, as consul
for Maiietoa. was summing it up. 1t
was discovered that Mataafa came from
race of princes which had been cut Off
by an ancestral curse from the line of
succession. A tremendous scene ensued.
Natives burst out crying in court and
were promptly elected. Outside the
crowd OF Samoans raised a great tum-
ult and their leaders could only with
difficulty restrain them from coming to
blows.
The captains of both the German and
English men of war were in court.
When the row was at its height, the
German captain invited the Englishman
outside. War is certain he said.
But the EngllShman did not see 1t in
that light. He told the German that
he would stand by with his ship and
would be ready to rub it into any one
who talked fight. There is a general
feeling here that the whole scene was
prearranged, in order to lead to tum-
ult and this give German officials an ex-
cuse for armed interference. The prompt
action Of the captain of the Porpoise,
however, defeated the plot.
The trial is expected to close about
the end of December and then there
may be more trouble. Mataafa's people
threaten that if the decision is against
them they will attack the town. No
alarm is felt, however, because Mataafa
has only about 1900 armed adherents,
whilst Malietoa, who is quite ready to
meet them has over three thousand re-
solved followers. American citizens
greatly regret that no American man of
war has arrived. The display of the
stars and stripes at this juncture would
have added immensely to the national
prestige and at the same time would
have strengthened the hands of the
American consul. At present Mr.. Os-
born is powerless to effect anything, if
violence is threatened, If American life
or property is endangered he can only
appeal for aid to the British man Of
war.

MUNICIPAL "UNCLES."
Chicago Business Men Move in the
Direction of Public Pawn Shops.

Chicago, Jan. 13.-Nearly all the
prominent business men of this city
have been invited to attend banquet
to be given tomorrow night by the Mer-

fishing municipal pawnshops in the city.
A bill has been prepared under the d.
rection of the club and will be intro
duced in the legislature next week.
BY the passage of such measure 1t
is said that the large number of Shy

make loans at exorbitant rates upon
furniture and other personal property
will be forced out of business The OBJ

NEEDLES in HER STOMACH.
Three Taken Out and Roentgen Rays
Show Seven More


Chicago, Jan. ia remarkable case
fancied sin has been brought to light
here Lena Walshlager, a young wo-
man who came to this country from
Germany about a year ago is in the
hospital recovering from an operation
to remove a needle embedded in the
walls of her stomach. The needle was
the third to be removed from the young
woman's body, two others having been
taken out last March. The Roentgen
rays have revealed the presence of sew
en- more.
Miss Walsh1aeger says that two years
ago she was an inmate of a convent in
Germany, where she had been put by
her mother when the latter emigrated
to the United States. Miss Walshlae-
ger frequently broke the rules of the in
stitutton, and according to her story,
was told by one of the priests in the
convent to prick herself with a needle
for each breach of propriety. The girl
tried to carry out these instructions but
her courage failed her, so she arranged
a number of needles in the belt of her
skirt waist in such a manner that the
sharp points would pierce her whenever
she moved. She endured this, she says.
for several months, then unable to bear
1t longer, ran away, and with the aid of
friends, came to Chicago, where her
mother lives. 1t is the theory of physi-
way into the young woman's flesh while
Furnishing herself in this novel manner.
After the seven needles already located
are removed, another slkiagraph will be
taken to determine if any more needles
remain

ENDORSE GOV. STANLEY.
Superintendent of the State Reforma
tory on Part of the Governors
MESSAGE

The Journal has received the follow
ing letter from the superintendent of
the Hutchinson reformatory:
Hutchinson, Kan, Jan. IL, 1899.
To the Editor of the State Journal
Since you are accredited with a good
deal of independence politically and are
therefore supposed to tell the truth and
to advocate good public policy for the
state of Kansas, allow me through your
columns to compliment that portion of
Governor Stanley'S message relating to
vance of ordinary practice in prison
management and far superior to old
methods which partook much of the
spirit of revenge.
In the name of justice, rational be-
ings, unhappily for that system, catch
the spirit of their treatment and become
soured to humanity and perpetual
criminals. While punishment may
strain the incorrigible, punishment
alone never reformed any man. Firm
ness administered in kindness, sympa-
thy and reason reform men-and train
ing that tends to level the Judgment.
The majority of so-called criminals
lack balance in temper; passion, appe-
title or acquisitive disposition over bal
ancing the rectitude of their judgment
in the equities of business life.
OF the 219 inmates of this institution,
seven-tenths Of them are here for
crimes against property and we'll has
the state provided industries and trades
property legitimately when restored to
liberty. A competent tradesman may
succeed mechanically in his business
who would be an utter failure in other
lines. So the bane of our prison and
Jail systems is lack of useful employ
ment. The open corridors of the jails
and the dormitory plan of the reform
schools are hot beds of the lowest pris-
on vices humanity can descend to. lille
the separate cell system, trades to alb
sorb surplus energy, day schools and
literature to while away the evenings
are boons to the unfortunates when ac-
companied by good examples of tutors
and officials are like hope which springs
eternal in the human breast.
1t is noticeable here that when boys
attain the first grade in department
they attire themselves better, fix up their
cells with nice decorations and come
back to civilization. Last but not least
every regiment from the state of Kan
sas bore the names of paroled boys
from this institution, several of whom
bore the rank of corporal in their COM
panies. And today the boys write us
from Santiago and Manila saying that
the flag that made them free is the flag
they will defend.
Sincerely hoping that our representa-
tives will heed the suggestion of the
governors message to consider the in
terests Of the subjects imprisoned, I
remain respectfully,
s. w CASE

Reformatory.

THAT OWL SERVICE VOTE

The Philadelphia Times thus COM
ments on the recent effort to withhold
support from the civil service commits
sion in the house:
The house of representatives at Wash
ington is full of spoilsmen who would
be glad to legislate the civil service
commission out of existence If they
could only do it some dark night when
nobody was looking and when the dear
public could be befuddled about who did
It. They are willing to vote to starve
the commission in daylight while the
house is in committee of the whole, and
they can not be placed on record by a
demand for a call of the roll. But when
the appropriation gets before the house
and the friends of civil service demand
n roll call things are different right off.
The congressional spoilsmen hate the
civil service law with an undying
hatred, but they hate to be defeated for
reelection by the votes of those who
believe in civil service reform more
and for this reason the civil service
commission is safe from serious moles-
tation as long as it has a friend on the
floor of the house to call the yeas and
