EMPRESS MURDERER.
How the Slayer Will Be Treated In
Prison,

The prison of L'Eveche, at Geneva,
in which Luccheni is now undergoing
his sentence, was built about fifty
years ago. Today no doubt, it is not
up to the last improvements, but nev-
ertheless it is superior to the majority
of prisons in Switzerland and in many
other countries The prisoners in
L'Eveche pass the nights in cells built
on three floors, and opening on to in
side galleries. During the day they
work together in workshops. Luc-
cheni will be subjected to the treat
ment common to all prisoners con-
demned to penal servitude for life. His
cell, like all the other cells, will be
length two meters in width, and two
and half in height. The daylight en-
ters by a longitudinal opening, pro-
tected by iron bars and slanting
shutter. which allows him only to see
the sky. His furniture will consist
of bed composed of palliasse, sheet
and coverlet, and a table and stool
he will be allowed to make himself a
bracket and to decorate his walls with
any pictures he may happen to ac-
quire. In winter he will get up be-
fore daylight and will go to bed at
nightfall. There are no lights in the
cells. During the night his clothes
will be removed from his cell to pre-
vent any attempt to escape. During
the day he will work in the workshops,
unless he prefers to work in his cell,
which he will be permitted to do.
He will work at carpentry, bookbind-
ing, making boots or wooden shoes,
sorting coffee grains, etc., ETC., accord
ing to the aptitude he may show, but
without speaking word to anyone,
except to his jailer when his work
requires it. He will receive small
portion Of what is gained b. his Wori.
His meals will consist of coffee and
milk in the morning, vegetable with
boiled potatoes in the middle of the
day, soup in the evening, with 645
grammes of bread day. On Thurs
days and Sundays the vegetable will
be replaced by $50 Grammes q meat.
After each meal the prisoners have
half an hours exereise in the court
yard marching in single file one after
the other, the same as in every other
prison. In winter, Luccheni will be
dressed in jacket and trousers and cap
Of gray "milaine," with yellow stripe.
On Sundays he can get books from the
prison library, and can write if he
wishes. He is allowed to receive dur
ing the year six visitors in the parlor,
and in the presence of a jailer, but to
receive or send letters only with the
permission Of the director of the pris-
on, who examines their contents.

Judge Peter Stenger Grosscup, who
has been nominated by the president
to be judge of the seventh United
States circuit court for the northern
Illinois district, in place of the late
Judge Showalter, has had distin-
guished career since he was elevated
to the bench which he now leaves for
his larger sphere OF duty Prior 10
that appointment, which was made by
President! Harrison in 1892, Judge
Grosscup was an eminent lawyer in
Chicago. He came to that city in 1888
from Ohio, where he had been prom
inent in law and politics for some
time. 1t is not generally known that
Judge Grosscup once lived in the same
congressional district with President
Mckinley when the latter was max
ing his reputation in congress. In
fact, Maj Mckinley was nominated for
congress by the brilliant lawyer, who
stumped the district for the success Of
the republican candidate. Mr.. Gross
cup himself was twice a candidate for
congress in Ohio, and was well known
in that state as republican orator.
The judge was born at Ashland, Ohio,
in 1852. He is graduate of Witten-

Getting Even.

II is not always easy to punish q

London paper tells how boatload
of sailors, on shore-leave from a man
o-war, did it good naturedly and with
out violence. AS they journeyed up
the roadN ay into the Cornish village,
a gentleman's wagonette passed. One
of the tars thoughtlessly jumped on
the step behind. "Git OFF there!
shouted the coachman, and being a
churlish sort of fellow, he lashed the
sailor viciously across the face with
his whip That was enough. In an
instant the other eleven blues had
closed round and stopped the trap, the
boatswain's mate in command. Ten
tion!" cried he, and tention there
was. 'Dismount the gum" he shouted,
and it seemed as if every bluejacket
carried a whole carpenters outfit In
three minutes they had taken the wa
gonette into 172 pieces, and that with
out so much as scratching one bit OF
paint or losing a solitary screw. They
laid them all out neatly on the stony
road. and the boatswain's mate, after
inspecting the job, cried, Good! Dis
