The humorous, the pathetic, the prepos-
ferrous, the extravagant phases of war are
told with the pen of a master. Finally
comes grim battle, the defeat, the sur
render, the travelling through the South as
a prisoner of war; the experiences in
Richmond prisons and at ghastly Belle
Isle; then comes the climax in the prison
stockade at Andersonville itself. with it's
10000 men, its poverty, its starvation its
death. All these things are told with the
dramatic power of truth, and they are told
as only they can be told by one who was
there.

There are thousands of incidents of his
associations with Hamlin. Steward, Stan

THE FULL PENALTY.
Judge Dixon Has No Cicmen"y For
Jennie B0sschieter's slayers.


PATERSON. n. ], Jan. 30.--So far

Alisler, Andrew j. Campbell and Will

him that he proposed 'to destroy their
lives, TO obliterate every bright prospect
that they might have had Of becoming
good and useful citizens"
From the first words Of the judge. who
had so plainly expressed his resentment
at the part he would be called upon to
play, there was not the slightest ray of
hope of clemency for the wretched men
who shrank at every sentence rs at 4
blow, If Judge Dixon had been passing
sentence of death. he could not have been
more incxorablc or more moved. He i'm

court declarea.
The officials at the New Jersey state
prison said. in answer TO an inquiry, that
the 30 year sentences of McAlistcr,
Campbell and Death. who were convict
ed Of the murder of Jennie Bosschieter,
will be reduced by good behavior to 20
years and that Kerrs sentence will be
reduced to II years. The time off for
good behavior is arranged on a sliding
scale and increases each year.
While Judge Dixon was sentencing the
prisoners Hugh Kerr, the father Of
George, lay dying within stones throw
OF the courthouse. Mr.. Kerr is dying
because of the disgrace of his son George.
George did not know till last night that
his father was 50 i'll.

he found out His friends had kept his
fathers condition concealed from him.

RAPID PROGRESS MADE
Cubnn Constitutional Convention
HastcnE Its Work.


HAVANA, Ian. 30. The Cuban CON
stituional convention is progressing rap.
Idly with the discussion uf the draft con-
stilution submitted by the central com.
mittee. Several articles relating to pro-
yincial government and the method Of
clecting officials have been tabled until
after the adoption Of the electoral law.
Two important articles for consideration
will deal with universal suffrage and the
powers of provincial governments. When
once these have been disposed of, the
work of drafting the final project will be
a matter Of only = few days
In the course Of yesterdays discussion
several interesting arguments were made
on the liability of the president of the re.
public for crimes committed against the
state and on the method Of trying the
president for such offenscS.
General Rivera favored holding the
president liable for any infraclion of the
law.
Senor Nunez and Senor Rafael portu'
Ondo contended that he should be liable
only for reasonable acts.
The latter view was favored by ma
jority of the delegates, and the article re-
ferring to the liability was slightly
amended, the senate retaining authority
to try the president for reasonable acts,
and the only penalty being removal from
Office. This, however. does not revoke the
right of the courts to hold the president
amenable.
The fourth. sixth, seventh, eighth and
ninth sections and ten articles in the
tenth section were adopted with only
minor changes from the original draft.
A further article was added to the
fourth section giving the right to cxpel
any foreigner who might be regarded as
''pernicious to the government"

Mr.. Michael J. Dady, the contractor, and

POLICE BILL PASSED..

Headed Commission.
A DEATHBLOW TO CHIEF DEVERY.
Debate on New York City Measure
Was Brief, and the Assembly Will
Undoubtedly Make Equally
Quick Work With 1t.

ALBANY, Jan. 3O.--The New York
city police bill passed the senate at %
minutes past 9 O'Clock last evening by
vote of 81 to II. Five senator's were alb
sent.
This is the bill providing for single
headed police commission. BY its terms
it practically lcgislatcs Chief of Police
Devery out of office.
While the mayor has the appointment
of the police commissioner under this bill
the appointce may at any time be remov.
ed by the governor. His term Is five
years and his salary $500. He has tw'
deputies. which h. himself shall choose.
The bill will come up in the assembly
today, and an effort will bc made to jam
it through.
The debate on the New York city police
bill occupied the day in the senate. Sen
ators Donncly and Foley, Democrats, at
tackled the measure and protested again-
the partisan advantage which they claim.
ed the majority was taking. Senators
Elsberg and Slater, Republicans. of New
York city defended the bill and its consti
tutionality Senator Stranahan spoke as
sponsor for the measure and said that 1t
should be passed without amendment.
The attitude of Senator Maltby, Re-
publican, of st. Lawrence county created
stir when he spoke on the measure. His
argument against the bill was even more
forceful and effective than that Of tn
Democratic senators. But in condemnine
the bill in its present form he declared in
favor of n metropolitan police bill and
said that the state should take unto itself
the administration of the police affairs OF
New York city. One provision in the pres.
ent bill, he said, should be removed. the
one which gives to the governor power to
remove the commission without charges.
He declared that to be unconstitutional.
Senator Raincs spoke at length in favor
of the bill. Senator Grady replied to the
assertions and arguments of the Repub.
lican senators.
The debate was terminated at 6:2O
O'Clock by Senator Ellsworth, who de.
Tended the measure and deplored the fact
that SO much valuable time should have
been wasted.
The indications are that all Of the new
taxation bills of Governor Odell will
have to be amended. The governor him
self makes this statement about them:
''The bills were drawn to initiate the
ideas conveyed i'll my message. and they
may haye to be changed considerably in
phraseology."
The bill taxing savings banks upon
their surplus is the first one to be found
deficient, and suggestions have already
been made to Senator Krum's committee
on taxation.
