GOOD PENAL CODE IN CHINA,
Modes of Punishment fin the Celea.
 tial Empire Are Made to Flt the Crime.

"Though a man with Q sharp sword should cut ones body bit by bit, let ne angry thought arise, let the mouth speak, no i'll word.' - Fo-Sho-Hing Tsan-KinG.
 So natural has it become to treat everything connected with the celestial that the denizens of Pump court will start and rub his eyes when he hear from the latest authority that in many respects the Chinese penal code is su- perior to the English system, says the Chicago Chronicle. MT. Alabaster's work comes as most refreshing change from the too often dry and dreary pages which the legal reviewer is commended to scan from years end to years end. A book which transports oneafrom the musty cloisters of statute and case laws into an atmosphere of quaint customs and breezy anecdote, shot through and through with the golden threads of even justice, demands broader treatment than the heading Law Library" would warrant.
 Legal practitioners are few and far , between in China; in fact, it ca Il hardly be said that there are either counsel or solicitors. semioflicial class exists who solve the more difficult forensic prob lens; they are called shin. The tai shue must be brave set of men; they qualify for drawing up petitions, but the work is fraught with danger. One poor old fellow of 70 got three years . transportation for drawing up five pe- titions. Advocacy is equally risky; a scholar was sentenced to two years imprisonment and So blows from the heavy bamboo for trying to reduce a criminals oifenSe from murder to man. slaughter. Chinese apathy when some villainy is being done is largely due to fear of the, law, which says that ''per- sons must not interfere unless they X have right to do so by reason of rela- tionShip." f,...r.. g The code is an effectua check on iu- Gicial and forensic genius. The duties \ Of the judge are confined to detcrmin-s ing the facts a1d the article of the code | they agree with. Thus the sentence is k fixed withcut variation to, begin with, and any circumstances attenuates are , considered by the judicial board at Pe- king. to whom the great majority of capital sentences are referred fer re- vision every autumn. This list of these who should by right be executed is then submitted to the emperor, who de- c1ees their fate in curious way. The names are written on Q large sheet of paper, those being considered less guilty being placed near the corners or the center. The emperor then draws vermilion circle on the paper, and those whose names are trayerxed lbyit are doomed The rest 90 forward to the next list, and if they are. lucky enough to escape the red for three years they are free.-

WILLIAM. GILLETTE.

One Of the greatest plays of the age will be seen at Polls this evening. when William Gillette will make hIs first appearance before q Waterbury
 audience, presenting :: his wonderful New York success, 'Sherlock Holmes.p 7
 The play enjoyed immense popularity for thirty-siX weekstlast season at the Garrick theater, New York, and now
 after a short tour of the country is to be taken to Sir Henry -Irying's Lyceun theater. London, for aVTun. It is>easi- 1y AIr Gillettes masterpiece. He Is said in the acting to completely absorb the personality Of the detective and lend the additional charm of his own Individuality. The story of the play
 is founded on q hitherto unpublished episode in the fife of the great detec- tiye, showing his connection, with Ethe strange ea 50 of Miss Faulkner. This young fwoman obtains possession on the death of her sister of certain pa pers' and photographs which con- promises a scion of noble house, who,

POLITICAL ADVISORS

Tie Silver party at preseut is re
ceiving great deal of political ad-
vice. and tina, toe, from the most
unexpected quarters.
The advice comes mostly from the
Reno Journal, Tuscarora Times Re
view, Elks Ind pendent and Reno
Gazette.
The Journal and Times Review de-
sire the Silver party to fuse with the
Democratic party and conduct the
campaign under its name and man.
agelneut.
In this connection it may not be
out of place to observe that IL the
campaign of la fall the Journal sup
ported the Silver ticket and platform
during the campaign and received
regular advertising rates from the
Silver State Central Committee ler
publishing the platform. 1t then
turned squarely about and fought one
Of the nominees on the platform dur
ing the Senatorial campaign The
cause of It's political aggression is not
stated.
The editor of the Times Review was
a member Of the Silver Party Conven-
ton at Reno yet in the Same cam
paign the paper fought the tick t
nominated by the Convention of
which its editor and publisher was a
member. Like the Journal it has
never siver any reason for its sudden
charge of front, and like the Journal,
it advocates the fusion of the Silver
men with the Democr IS under the
name Of the latter.
The Elko Inde PENDENT, whose ed
itor and publisher is Democrat, can
unlike its neighbors, claim some
credit in consistency.
1t was in no way committed to sup
port the Silver ticket aud was always
Democratic. 1t now advises the Dem
ocrats in the Silver party to leave il
and return to their old party.
The Reno Gazette, who has sup
ported Republicans and Silve rmen il
the same campaign (no reason given
advises all the Republicans who have
during the past ten years voted TIT
Silver ticket, to return to theft ol(
par.y without delay.
Now if the advice of the variou
papers which are here quoted, are fol
lowed the Silver party would pass on
of existence and there would be sim
ply two parties in Ne, ada, the orig
inal Republicans and Democrats, wit
certainty Of the State going fer Nc
Kinley by decisive majority.
The ex-Democrats and ex- Repu5l
cans in the Silver party left their Of
alliances for two reasons: The Dem
