CRUEL CHINESE METHODS.

The gaolers in Canton have been COM
planning that they have too much work
to do, as the prisons are crowded. An
order therefore went forth from the
Acting Viceroy the other day that the
number of prisoners should be at once
lessened by nineteen heads. The exc
cutions took place on a vacant piece
of ground near the New Bund, in the
presence of a vast crewd of spectators.
Some of the prisoners drank the wine
that was presented to them eagerly,
while others refused to eat or drink.
As the eXeCutioner's sword did its work
on each victim, from the vast con-
course of people a shout went up that
was most appalling even when heard at
some distance from the spot. The exc
cutioner's trade has been so busy of
late that the usual remuneration of half
dollar a head has been reduced to
twenty-five cents, and yet there are
many candidates for the job.-Japanese

LOOKING AFTER THE NEGROES.
Colonel Bean Goes to Wailuku Planta-
ton Today.

Colonel r. O. Bean who brought 20
party of negro laborers from Nashville
Tennessee for Brewer q Company, re-
turned Saturday from Waikiki planta-
ton, Maui, where he had taken the ne
groes to their new homes. He expects
to remain in the territory until the
latter part of the month when he VIII
reurn to Tennessee.
The Evening Bulletin yesterday pub
lished from its Wailuku correspondent
the following regarding the arrival on
Maui of these negro laborers:
'R. o. Bean, an educated colored
man, was in charge of the party"
To those who know Colonel Bean this
would seem so ridiculous as to be
amusing, We're it not for the fact that
such mistake caused him much an
noyance. Colonel Bean is a gentleman
OF culture and refinement and like all
southern gentlemen he holds the negro
to be inferior to the white race and
naturally could not but take offence at
being even inadvertently called a negro
He went to Maui today to see how his
charges are faring on the plantation.

Edison's Platinum.

A story will serve to throw new
light upon Edison's character. At one
time there was great fear in the scien-
tific world that the deposits of plati-
mum were about to become extinct.
Edison thereupon organized a cores
pondence bureau, and sent letters to
every American consul upon the globe,
to British coHsuls in ports where the
United States had no representative,
and to scientific men in every land.
The letter gave clear statement re-
specting the metal, how and where it
was found and might be found, how
it could be identified and treated,
and much other information. In each
letter were inclosed samples OF plati-
mum as found in the various rock beds.
This may seem to be a small under
taking, but when it is remem bered
that the letters were sent off by the
thousands, that the postage was ten
cents to each letter, and that the
pieces of platinum inclosed were al
most as valuable as metallic gold, the
cost Of the achievement is readily
seen. While he did not succeed in
greatly increasing the output of
platinum, he set at rest all fear of its
extinction and thus earned the graft
tude of every scientific investigator.

PEARLS in JERSEY RIVERS.
Occasionally One of Great Value Is
Discovered.

o DlSCCvGfGU.
The publication of the fact that
pearls had been found in the Hacken.
sack river, and exaggerations of the
value of the find, have caused some ex-
citement among people who live near
the river. Several men have taken
up the occupation of pearl-hunting but
unless they find more valuable mus
sells than those from which the first
pearls were taken they will probably
reap small reward.
In speaking of the New Jersey
pearls, George F. Kunz, who mas made
the subject study, said it was moth
ing unusual to find them in New Jer-
sly, but that the pearls he had seen
from the Hackensack river were of
small value, and would not bring more
than $40 or SIS in the market.
In his book on the subject of Amer.
lean pearls Mr.. Kunz speaks of a fine
specimen weighing ninety-three
grains, which was found in 1857 at
Hotch Brook, near Paterson, N. ]. it
became known as the Queen pearl,
ard was sold by Tiffany C Co. to the
Empress Eugene for $4,000. The
news of this sale created much excite
ment, and search for pearls was start
ed in many places. The pearlbearing
mussels were gathered by the million
and destroyed often with no result.
One large pearl, weighing about 400
grains, which Mr. Kunz thinks would
have been the finest specimen of mod
ern times If it had been properly
handled, was ruined by boiling open
the shell.
In 1889 pearls of rare beauty were
found in the creeks and rivers of WIS
consin. About 10000 of these were
sent to New York, and one specimen
was sold for $500.

Where white wrath wanders lonely
'Twixt the darkness and the dew.
In the ruined walls that echoed
Once to happy-hearted moods,

No clear voice sings, as Of old;
But the feet caressing sunbeams
Whisper secrets to their mold.

to lesser extent into the mysteries
of the spoken languages of various
animals She has been successful to
a considerable extent in learning the
infection of the tongues used by can
ines, cattle and even cats. Miss
Wright, though now only eighteen
years old, has been talking to the
birds for six years. She discovered
her own gift, and from the first time
that her imitation brought circle of
wild bird listeners to her side as she
sat on log in bit of woods, has de-
voted most of her days to the study or
the bird languages. There are many
stories told of her powers. She has
now passed the time when she would
go into the woods for the mere pleas
ure of it, to initiate the birds, but
the time was when she would sit on
a log in the woods and call the birds
to her side. When she would begin
her calls the birds in hearing would
all gather in the trees about their
imitatob and, except for futtering
of wings, would remain silent until
Then all the birds would break forth
in song, each doing it's best, appar-
emily, to Guido the girl who had stolen
its cadences. 1t is said of her that
on one occasion she visited a house
where canaries are. raised for sale
and while the birds kept silence imi
tated their song. When she stopped
the birds tried to show that a mere
human could not sing their songs bet
ter than they could themselves. Where
Miss Wright had sang loud the birds
trilled and ran through their cadence
with all the strength their little
threats could summon. Then the girl
sang again, still louder The birds
exceeded their first effort and trilled
till their Threats seemed almost to the
bursting point But the girl who had
stolen their song was still their SUI
perior, and finally the canaries, almost
exhausted, gave up the contest and
went to the corners of their cages de-
feated.
For time, while the girl was busy
learning the languages of the various
species of the bird family, she haunt
ed the woods, and then, after learn.
ing the language of the wild songsters,
took to the study of barnyard fowls.
Here she was able to give the ROSTERS

cation, and might have set up as

Miss Wright is now teacher OF

make her home with relatives when
only three years old. Her ability in
