WHIPPING POSTS.
There Is a Growing Sentiment In the
District of Columbia for Its
Establis hment.

There are evidences of a growing
sentiment in the District of Columbia
for the epHctment of law authorizing
the establishment of whipping posts
for the punishment of parties convicted
of minor offenses. The Jail, work
house and institutions of reform are
always crowded to their utmost limit,
and it is the belief of many who have
given the question study that the whip
ping post would have a tendency to
lessen not only crime, but would great
ly decrease the enormous expense of
maintaining institutions for the safe
keeping and care of prisoners. 1t is un-
derstood that an effort will be made Ia
have the house committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia give the matter con-
sideration.
Maryland had such law enacted in
1882 and it is said to be effective, espe.
rially in cases of wife beating, for
which offense the law was specially
made. In Washington cases of wife
beating are Of almost daily occurrence
and it is believed that law similar &c
that of Maryland would work well

SAILOR is NARROWED
Left on Desert Island for Numbering
the Captain and Mate.
Captain of Wrecked Steamer Brings
from the south Pacific Ocean
story of Shipwreck snd
Grewsome Murder.

Honolulu mail advices contain a
hitherto unpublished story giving the
grewsome details of a wreck that &C.
Cured IA years ago in the South Pa
citic ocean. The story was related at
Honolulu by Capt. Walker, of the
steamship City of Columbia, which re-
Gently sank off Hawaii.
In August, 1888, the bark Wander
ing Minstrel. commanded by Walker,
was wrecked on the reefs of Sand is
lands, IS days out from Hong Kong.
Ehe sailors were saved and they found
two small islands rising only a few
feet above the water. On the largest
island they discovered building
erected 30 years before by a party of
United States surveyors. They lived
there Il months, subsisting on fish
and eggs of seabirds that nestled in
the beach. Eventually they were res
cued by the japanese schooner Norma
and carried to Honolulu.
Several weeks after the wreck they
explored a smaller island on the reef,
and lying between the islands they
found a broken hull bearing the name
General Siegel." On another island
were found two mounds of sand. over
which wooden crosses made from
driftwood had been erected, each bear
ing the inscription 1896" Near by
they came upon a sailor who had lived
there two years. He met them uncon-
cerned(y and said he was the sole sur
vivor \ the Siegel.
He aid the graves were those of the
captain and mate. who had died the
first week after reaching the island.
The sailor, whose name was Jorgen-
son, avoided giving details of the ship
wreck until six months later. when he
became dangerously i'll. Expecting
then TO die, he told Capt. Walkers son
that he had murdered the captain and
mate on reaching shore in revenge for
previous i'll treatment. When the res
cuing schooner Norma hove TO to car
~ away Capt. Walkers crew it wa,
decided that Jorgenson must remain
on the island to die. They left hin

CAN TEMPER COPPER.
Rcckefellers Interested in Process
Of Bos ION Inventor.
Claim Made That the LonG-Lost Proc
ess of Tempering Copper Has
Been Found-Anti-Rust and
Strong as Steel.

An inventor claims to have discov-
cred the long-lost process of tempering
copper, and he has succeeded in getting
such a shrewd r4oneyed man as Frank
Rockefeller, the Standard Oil million
aire, in believing in the invention. He
is Charles Fletcher, of Boston. Through
his inventive genius Fletcher has sue
ceeded in making sheets of copper into
wonderful thinncss and with the same
strength, capacity and springiness as
steel. Thousands of dollars have been
expended in the experiments. The
process consists in rolling in hot steel
plate and two heated copper plates at
the same time in such q way that the
copper forms a skin over the surface
of the steel and gives it all the weather
and wet resistance of pure copper. 1t
will not rust and has at the same time
the strength of steel. 1t can be
stamped as well as tin and otherwise
worked in ways impossible with cop
per.
Last summer Mr.. Rockefeller and the
iilNNhNOi litAe a slObNl VI tllt hNh
material towed behind a whalebacl1
boat up and down the lakes. At the
end of the trip the copper skin over the
steel plates was as shiny as when first
put in the water. 1t would apparently
be valuable material to make steel lake
steamers. In speaking of the inven-
ton Mr.. Rockefeller said: II think
the invention is one of the most re-
markable that has come TO my notice.
The copper and steel are rolled at
the same time and in the finished plates.
no matter whether it is thick or thin.
the copper is united with the steel so
that it is impossible to break or strip
it off in any way. II is practically n
single thickness of metal with a copper
surface on either or both sides. which
ever way il is made. and it can be made
either way"
