sRleANDs WHO HOLD MISS STONE
Carry Insignia Of Responsibility Under
Robbers Cloak,

Washington, Oct. 12.-Most Of the
newspaper writer's who have discussed
the case of Miss Stone, who was cap-
tured the other day by brigands of un-
certain nationality, have treated the
matter as II the question whether the
robbers were Turks or Bulgarians was
OF nc consequence beyond fixing the re-
sponsbility upon one government or an
other. This is an error, unless all ac-
counts given by diplomatists and consul
lar officers familiar with the region
where Miss Stone was taken are mis-
ands. for there is such a thing as an
aristocracy even of theft and murder.
The brigandage of Greece, Turkey
proper and Sicily is said to be as differ
ent from the brigandage of Bulgaria,
into whose hands 1t is hoped the unfor-
tunate Miss Stone has fallen, as black Is
from white. The Bulgarian banditti
constitute almost a class by themselves.
They are, as a rule, political robbers.
tho much more refined than those who
control some of our large cities. The
American political robber is such be-
cause he is on top, and his Victim UNDER
Meath, as the result of their conflict at
the polls; the Bulgarian political hob
her is such because his enemies have
the ear of the court and have made the
ordinary haunts of men to hot to hold
him. He has fled before the menace OF
the scaffold or the shooting squad, and
taken himself to the Businesses among
the hills. because they offer about the
only refuge to which the members of the
uppermost party dare not follow him. If
he were free agent in the choice of an
abode 1t would be in the heart of the
capital, and he would carry wand OF
fate In public life is what has made
him what he is. and revolution at
court would probably convert him in a,
twinkling into a reputable citizen, with
en- abundant regard for law and order
and disposition to pay all the taxes
he could not evade
One fine trait ascribed to the Bull
garian brigand. by the way, is that of
carrying always with him the insignia
of responsibility under his robbers
cloak. as If he were keeping himself in
training for taking his proper place in
society again. He is devout, and can
and does say his prayers without slip
of the tongue. He is educated-for his
part of creation-and takes care to keep
abreast of the movements of the great
world from which circumstances have
isolated him for awhile. He recognizes
social distinctions in his band as scupu-
lousy as the host of a state dinner, so
that among his people there are first
class brigands. second-class brlgands
and SO on down to the servants and car
riers. He has nice sense OF the differ
ence between members Of his professionI

About 100000 pairs Of glasses will be
bought by the republican and democrat
lie state committees for use in the poll
ing booths. The republican party has
placed orders for 100 gross. The glasses
will be of different grades of strength,
tested by oculists. The politicians have
made the discovery both in the cities
and county districts that hundreds OF
voters of the poorer classes can read
sufficiently to cast ballot, but their
sight is 80 defective that they will be

Several thousand pairs OF spectacles

ANOTHER PLEA MADE

Stone.
Advices Indicate That the Mis-.

Friends Issue Another Appeal
for Funds to Meet Brisrands'
Demands.

Boston. Mass, Oct. 12-Private adj
vices of most serious character were
received In this city Thursday after
noon, coupued with the earnest plea that
subscriptions to the Mics Stone ransom
fund be continued and urged on until
the whole sum is raised.
These, coupled with the reports from
Washington regarding the outlook, led
the signers of the original plea for funds
to issue the following last evening:

THE promptings of our hearts compel
us to issue second urgent appeal to the
people of America to come to the rescue
of Miss Ellen NJ. Stone, the American
missionary now held captive by brigands
Il. the Balkan mountains for ransom
of $4,000 Nearly one-half that sum is
yet to be raised.
Private advices received yesterday
were to the effect that it was absolutely
necessary to raise the full amount at
once. The story of thirty-day respite
is absolutely discredited in the best
informed circles. Today's information
from Washington is that the outlook is
far from being so reassuring as was
hoped yesterday.
1.-The public should not be deceived by
the idea that the American board, as
such, will pay any of the ransom. II
has officially declared that 1t could not,
altho its members have unanimously ex-
pressed sympathy with the movement.
Will not pastors, tender-hearted women,
patriotic men and representatives of

and soliciting until the entire fund is in
hand? A life is at stake-the life of a

| and persons who have never pursued It;
/ if, for Instance, he makes prisoner his
messenger to visit a village for food, he
supplies the money for buying 1t, instead
of compelling the unlucky wight to steal
for him. When he discharges prisoner
after ransom he has a conscience about
returning his valuables to him, and Civ
ing him a small sum with which to pay
his way back to civilization. 1t will be
noted that Miss Stone bears witness, in
her communication to her friends, to the
uniform good treatment she has re-
ceived Mt the hands of her captors. This
would be surprising in the case Of vul-
gar robbers like the Turks. but it Is
what there might be reason to expect
from the better bred Bulgarians. These
will cut a throat without compunction,
where safety or discipline demands ex-
IRENE measures, but, on the whole, they
aim to be as chivalrous as their calling
will permit.
The same authorities who have fur
nished the world with the few pictures
we have at first hand of the Bulgarian
bandit agree upon another of his peculi-
arities-his utter distrust OF women. No
Bulgarian who is q member of mounts
ain band is permitted to marry. 1t is
not the weakness Of the feminine body
which makes the robber CHIEF dread to
attach 1t to his following, but the
strength OF the feminine tongue, and its
reputation for making secret go fur
Their than any other agency can. Be
tween the counterplay of love and jeal-,
ousy and tendency to talk he feels that
the safety OF all would soon be threat
-ened II the gentler sex should be adj
mitted within the sacred circle OF his
band. Indeed, he curbs the passion for
talk even among the men. The brigands
may discuss anything else under the
sun, but they must be silent as the grave
about themselves and each other. 1t
seems as If this admirable display of
self-command, this damper upon both
.egotism and gossip, might be initiated
with advantage by persons In more hon
est Wake OF life.
If Miss Stone escapes from her present
confinement, as every one confidently
hopes she will. she may be able to add
her contribution. and very interesting
one, to the worlds stock of information
about this last relic of an ancient order

PUNISHMENT FoR CRIME.
Some Of the Barbarous Laws That
Used to BE Enforced.

Sir Samuel Romilly was the first who
endeavored to soften the rigor Of the
criminall law. In 1903 he passed bill re-
pealing the statute of Elizabeth, which
made larceny punishable by death, and
three or four years later he carried other
bills OF similar nature. Indeed, it is
chiefly owing to his efforts that Our Grim
inal system is indebted for its present
characteristics OF humanity.
Que or two of the former punishmerts
are SO curious that it may be interesting
to notice them. In the time Of Henry
VIII. poisoning was made treason, and
the punishment was to be boiled alive,
which was carried out in the case Of John
Rous, who threw poison into pot Of
ter's family. This, in common with many
more of Henry Wills barbarous laws,
was repealed by Edward vi. The law
of retaliation was introduced by statute
81, Edward Ill, as a punishment for
those who preferred malicious accusa
tions. 1t did not answer, however, and
was repealed after one years trial.
Grimes of an unnatural nature, such as q
wife killing her husband, servant his
master, IN ecclesiastic his superior, were
held petit treason, and a man was drawn
and hanged and woman drawn and
burned.
We see something of a similar nature
in the ancient Roman law that enacted
that the murderer Of parent should be
scourged and then tied up in leather
sack with a dog, cock, viper and ape and
then thrown into the sea. Publicus Mnl-
5leolus, who killed his mother, was the
first who suffered this punishment in the
year Of Rome 652.
But this punishment has existed in
modern Europe. Thus, in Spain, at Jaen,
on March 1, 1882, man, for numbering
his daughter-in-law, after being placed
in barrel with cock, snake, mon
key and toad, was thrown into the
river.
Another common punishment, now long
obsolete, was Disagreement, as every one
acquainted with the records of the star
chamber knows. Ears and noses were
most frequently cut off, the excuse being
TINT the loss Of them does not tend to
weaken the culprit, whereas the loss Of
an arm or finger does. Early law always
advocated member for member, forgetting
that OH repetition OF the offensc the
punishment cannot be repeated.-Gentle-
mans Magazine.

WILL G|V[ HE PASSES
Scheme to Abolish the Railroad
Pass System will Not Be
Adopted.
The Smaller Lines Fail to Fall
in With the Hartman
Project.
Claimed That the Bigger Roads
Would Have Violated the
Agreement.

| Chicago, Oct. 12.-Railway passes will
not be abolished Dec. 81 next. The plar
to wipe them out of existence was killed
at a meeting here yesterday of the ex.
ecutive officials OF western roads. They
will meet again on Nov. s. when the
funeral services will be performed. The
scheme to abolish passes in all proba.
bility will be resurrected about veal
hence, as q. II. Hartman and Other
railway magnates are firmly imbuec
with the idea that the officers and EN-.
ployes of the railroads and members OF
their families should pay regular rates
when they travel. the same as all 9TH
ers.
Last week a committee of executive
officers Of western and eastern railroads
met in New York and adopted the fol-
lowing resolution, to be acted on by the
presidents of the roads in the trunk
line, central and western traffic associ-
atoms:
Resolved, i. That the request Of OF
issuance to railway companies. steam
ship or steamboat lines of annual, time
or trip passes, or tickets. be discontin-
ued Jan. /, 1902.
70. That each company use its own
discretion as to the issuance Of trans
portation to ite own employees and their
families over its own lines.
49, That the resolution of December,
1900, reading as follows. be reaftirmed:
Resolved, That the Issuance of passes
OF all kinds to representatives of private
lines be discontinued
"A. That the issuance of passes on ac-
count of Industrial railroads be discon-
tinued after Jan. /, 1902
When the foregoing Recommendation
was presented by the chairman OF the
committee, President FELTON, of the AL
ton road, it's adoption was strenuously
advocated by representatives of some Of
the most important roads. Officers OF
others roads objected to the recommen-
dation Of the committee because It made
no reference to the practice of giving
passes to public Office holders.
I'VE all know" said one railway Off
cial, that the worst feature Of the free
transportation system IL the giving Of
