CHINESE FOOT BINDING.
Opposition Developing to That AM
Client and TorturiDg custom.

cient and TorturiDg Custom.
Some influential Cinnamon are now
advocating the abolition of that shock
ing and cruel custom Of foot binding so
prevalent in the celestial empire. How
common this custom is in China and
how fatal to the welfare Of the women
is little appreciated in America. Some
Chinese girls are permitted to go with
unbound feet until they are years
old, when the time arrives for the
bandaging process to begin, and the
golden lilies" as these deformed feet
are called, must be nodded. The ban
dage used for this purpose is made of
substantial webbing two and one-half
inches wide. The process consists prac-
tically in doubling the toes and heels
together, with the toes, except the big
one, bent under. The women, when the
object has been accomplished, and the
foot Is encased In the tiny shoe, stand
upon the tip Of the heel and the tip of
the big toe. This, of course, cannot be
accomplished at once, but 1t is tho
product of long and torturing ordeal
At first the bandages are applied rather
loose, but periodically they are drawn
tighter and tighter, as the feet yield To,
the pressure Of the webbing. The heel,
when the foot is encased in the shoe,
rests on tiny platform of wood fitted
above and behind the heel for that pur-
pose. The suffering endured by the
victim during the process is beyond de-
scription, and it is not an uncommon
occurrence for outraged nature to pro-
test, and such a diseased condition OF
the feet to ensue as to render neces-
sary their amputation. Sometimes the
children will not submit to the opera
ton, and their obstinacy results In
saving the feet. Many children cry
through the long hours of the night
and bring on various nerve troubles
The New York Tribune states that feet
are bound 10 smaller size in Foochow
than in any other part of China, for
the fashionable shoe is only two and
a half inches long, and the consequenk
tissure whore the sole of the
foot should be is about three
Inches deep. The feet of Chinese
woman wie'd an important influences
over her life. When she is to be be-
trothed the size of her feet must ba
ascertained for the suitor, and great
is the disappointment If the BRIDES
feet prove larger than anticipated
When the wedding day arrives TIA
bride draws the bandages as snugly e.
possible. The soles of the tiny shoes
are purchased with holes ready made
in the wood near the border. In order
that the wearer may embrOidor the
shoes and stitch them to the wooden
soles. for the women make their ow0
shoes.

"THE NIGGAR IN
 THE WOOD PILE" Coroner Abernathy is Anxious to
 Know His Whereabouts. LAMBRAKIS MURDER CASE No New DAvelonmantS in the InVeStipa-
No New Developments in the Investiga- tion-Will be Resumed This Morn ing-Victim's Funeral Occurred
 Yesterday Afternoon

There were no new developments in the coroner's jury has not yet arrived at yer dict, and will assemble again this morning. Suspicion still rests on the parties now in jail, and they will be held for further devel- opments The coroner is very anxious now to find the negro who was seen driving rapidly from the scene of the murder about the time it occurred. It is believed that this negro knows something about the killing possibly carried some one out on the buggy and drove off immediately after the shoot ing took place. A motorman on a Fountain Heights car had just pulled up and stopped near the place where Lambrakis was killed on the night of the murder, and while there saw a negro drive by his car. He described the negro as being a mulatto, heavy build, round face and well dressed
 He says as the negro drove up near the car, he turned his horse and drove off at rapid rate in another direction.
 The horse he describes as being a bay, of medium size, and was driven to a top buggy.
 The coroner's jury examined many wit nesses yesterday, but was unable to come to any definite conclusion in the matter. The greater part of today may be con- sumed without arriving at a verdict, as Justice Abernathy, acting coroner says he has no idea whether a verdict will be reached today or not.
 The remains of the murdered man were laid to rest yesterday afternoon in Oak Hill cemetery. The funeral occurred from St. Paufs Catholic church at 5 o'clock and was attended by many sympathising friends

PARLIAMENT DOES NOTHING.
Only One Stateman, Roseberry, Has
Struck the Right Note.

London, Feb. 1.-The War Office this
evening completes the list of the Brit
lSh casualties at Spon kOp by an
nouncing the names of 215 missing men
of various regiments, including 1871 mem-
bers of the Lancashire Fusiliers.
In the absence of exciting war news
the nation and the newspapers have had
time to discover the utter lack of rela-
ton existing between the feeling of the
people and the temper of the Govern
ment, as demonstrated III Parliament,
where instead Of relieving the grave
anxiety of the country by declaration of
measures it is proposed to take in be-
half of the national safety, the Ministers
continue to demonstrate their inability
to grasp the situation. by being the air
with recriminations, self-accusatory de-
fence and chickering's as to the degree of
responsibility attachable to the respective
departments of the Government. The
disgust. almost despair, noticeable on all
sides, is voiced by the tra-ministerial
organ. the Globe. which says:
The heart of the empire seems
paralyzed, while its eXtremites are in
full vigor. Thus far only one statesman
in the front rank has struck the right
note and that is Lord Rosebery.'

CASE GOES TO SUPREME COURT.
Carriers Counsel Will Appeal For a
Writ of Certiorari Monday.

Washington, Feb 1.-The papers in the
case of Captain Carter were received at
the Supreme court today. The appiica-
ton for a writ Of certiorari will have to
be made Monday.
The petition for a writ of certiorar is
presented by Abram j. Rose He says:
The gravity and Importance Of the
decision against the plaintiff in error be-
low is apparent. when it is considered
that the views expressed. if sound, would
prevent the inquiry upon habeas corpus
as to whether the prisoner had been twice
punished for the same offense in direct
conflict with the provisions of the Con-
stitution and the decisions of this court.
Moreover in all trials for offenses
committed by persons in the military SER
vice. no matter of what number of
offenses the accused may be found guilty,
if the conclusions of the Circuit Court
of Appeals be correct Il general sentence
may be imposed without specifying for
which offense the punishment was in
icted virtually depriyiug the accused
from knowing for which offense he vas
punished by fine. or for which offenSe
by imprisonment. or for which offense the
other punishment was inflicted. The de-
cision Of the Circuit Court of Appeals
invests Il court martial with power to
over ride constitutional provisions and
takes from the courts the right to in
oure by habeaS corpus whether con-
stitutional rights have been transcribed.
thus putting a person sentenced by
court martial beyond the pale of consti-
tutiona provisions and the protection
of the courts"
