LYNCHING AT HELENA, MONT
VICTIM HAD ASSAULTED FIvE-YEAR-
OLD GIRL.
He Denied His Guilt to the Last, hut
Had Been Positively
Identified.

HELENA. Mont, October flames Ed
ward Brady, the man who assaulted Ida
Pugsfey, five years old, In Helena yester-
day. was this morning about 1:30 o'clock
taken from the Jail by mob and hanged
to a telegraph pole in the Haymarket
Square, about three blocks from the Jail.
The crowd was orderly and after the man
had been hanged it quickly dispersed.
There were about 20O men engaged in the
affair. and they were all masked. They at
tackled the jail door with battering ram
and it soon yielded. On gaining admittance
they demanded at the point Of gun the
keys of the jailer or threatened to kill If he
did not yield the man they would kill him.
The iailer then got the man out Of his
cell and he was given to the mob. When
they took him Brady asked, What Is 1t,
gentlemen?"s
The march to the hanging place was aaiet.
Brady was given a chance to say word.
He declared that they had the wrong man,
although he had been positively identified
by his victim and a score of other persons
who had seen him with the child. He also
asked that some money that was s-due
him from the Montana Central railroad be
sent to niece, and then he was pulled up.
The end of the rope was tied to the pole
and the crowd dispersed. Later Sheriff Nc
Connell cut the body down and placed it In
coffin. There will be an investigation to-

Hang From a Cherry Bough.


A double suicide which occurred at
Kamakura has attracted some attention 1t
was caused by the old trouble, love. The
man, Suda Toichi. had been Instructor OF
bookkeeping in the Keiogi-juku and secre-
tary of the Tokyo Koshfnjo Intelligence
bureau}, both of which posts he recently
resigned The woman. Saito Chiyo, was
of good family and the possessor of consid-
cradle property. few years ago, she
married Ito Robukei. a cabinet merchant
the man being adopted into the family of
his wife. Three children were born, but
the union appears to have been unhappy
The wife endeavored unsuccessfulIy to per-
suade her husband to agree to a divorce
and finally she ran away to join her lover
Suda, carrying with her a sum of 1JOO yen
Legal proceedings were then Instituted by
the husband, and the guilty pair, seeing no
hope of escape, committed suicide by hang
ing themselves from the bough of a cher
ry An exceptional feature OF the affair
was the remarkable deliberation shown By
the unhappy couple. Each had the face
covered with white cotton cloth, the man
tied his feet together and the woman
bound cotton cloth about her waist to pre-
vent any disarrangement of her garment.

to Addresses.
Before a large attendance OF students
assembled in the main lecture hall last
night the thirty-fourth opening Of the Ma
tional University Law School took place.
Carusi, presided and introduced the
members of the faculty present, who
briefly touched on the special courses of
study under their charge. An address on
the history, Jurisdiction and practice of the
United States Court of Claims, delivered
by Prof George A. King. was we'll rece;v-
ed. The speaker dwelt especially upon the
growth and Importance Of the current liti-
cation in which the United States figures
as plaintiff and defendant and the CORE
spending developments of the law affect
ing the government as judicial person;
Prof Henry E. Davis, former Unified
ing and practical course upon the procedure
and practice in the conduct OF causes ut
common law and in equity. He will also
lecture upon the law of evidence.
Profs. Siddons, Tucker, Classic, Ralston
and Charles F. Carusi followed with brief
sketches of the courses under their charge.
The dean also announced a course upon
the law of carriers by DR.. Schonler Of the
Boston and Johns Hopkins universities, the
well-known author upon that branch of law,
and concluded with an outline Of the pur-
pose Of the scheme of instruction, which, he
said, was designed not so much to treat Of
Jurisprudence as merely speculative
science as to prepare the student to enter

Natives of the Archipelago Disinclin.
ed to Work.

Natives of the Archipelago Dfsfnclin-
ed to Work.
From the Manila American.
The idea of an invasion Of Filipino labor
either into Hawaii or the United States
proper is the sublimest absurdity. The
idea that the Filipino will work anywhere
can be engendered only In the minds Of
people who have no conception whatever
of the Filpino's characteristics and physi-
cal capacity. The Filipino will not work.
Their own country will never be developed
unless labor can be brought from China or
elsewhere to reclaim the sugar lands to
seed and gather hemp and to fell and
work up the very valuable timber lands.
The Filipino is not worker. as the Ameri-
cans here have learned quite too often in
road building and on other public enter
prises. Have no fear OF the Filipino ia
boring man." He doesn't exist; he is
myth.
In addition to his disinclination to work
the Filipino will not leave his home-his
family, his fighting cocks, his lazy and
happy go-lucky life. Few will consent to
go from one province to another and it is
very rarely that Filipino woman can be
induced to leave her native village, even to
accompany her husband.
If the Honolulu planters should finally
be able to induce a ship load of them to go
to Hawaii as "iaborers on sugar pIanta-
tions" they would regret their move with
in two months.

THE CEMETERY AT MALACCA.
The Place Where Panang MaIays
Find Final Rest.

From the National Review.
The Makam is that vast native cemetery
in which 1t Is the desire of every Panang
Malay to find his last resting place. 1t
covers many acres of ground. and the little
nesan, or headstones, rise everywhere
through the rank growths that cover the
fruitful soil. A few trees stand here and
there-trees with thick, fat leaves. soft and
dabby to the touch, Of the kind called
spoons by the Malays, because -heir
shape is not unlike that of fiat rice iadle.
Occasionally the grave of raja, a noble or
a man of wealth is marked by headstone.
upon which some pious words of Arabic
invocation have been rudely carved; some
others are squared roughly; but for the
most part the graves have no other orna-
ment than round piece Of water-worn
granite protruding only few inches above
the surface Of the ground, or a rudely
carved wooden peg leaning crafty to one
side. Two or three Of the graves have
tumble-down erections built over them by
the pfety of the surviving relatives of him
who lies beneath. Their devotion. however,
has not been equal to the task of keeping
their work in repair, and the decaying
uprfghts and crosspieceS have the appear
ance of pile Of spelicans. Traces may be
noted in other parts Of the cemetery of
spasmodic attempts to fence In some of the
graves. but these have long been aban-
doned as Utopian. On one raja's grave
may be seen a huge iron four-posted bed
stead. which oriental wisdom - doubtless
after long and anxious discussion-has at
length devoted to what it's owner conceived
was the end for which it was originally
fashioned. Rude huts rise here and there
among the graves, with the grasses and
creepers clinging about their knees. and
these are built by the desire of the dead
who have left money behind them for the
purpose-to accommodate the priests and
holy men who come to chant verses of the
kuran during the quiet nighttime. that tie
souls of the departed may rest in peace
All the graves from those OF the kings
who ruled the land to those Of the peas
ants who titled the soil, are nameless; and
thus, when a man has lain beneath the
sod for a year or two, even those of his
kindred who held him most dear are unable
to say with certainty where their brother
lies buried.

Louis, We're waiting at the 1th street sta
ton for their train last night. In talking
Of the assassination of President Mckinley,
Mr.. Mllard said:
.In all my life. and am sixty years old.
I have voted for only three Presidents.
and, gentlemen, swear to you that I'll

field and the same thing happened to him.
Mckinley was the last one and you know
what befell him.
Everybody seemed interested and the
travelling man continued THAT is only
half the story. 1 never have cast but three

polls early. That night was the proudest
man in the county; it tickled my vanity

he was shot. began to think. Only twice
had I voted and both times my favorites
were murdered. OF course, 1 didn't hold
myself responsible.
"On the day of the next presidential cleo

and did not vote. So it went until last
November. Things were pretty warm all
over the country and I thought I'd give
Mckinley little lift. Then 1 thought Of
what had befailen my two other candf-
dates, and 1 debated a long time whether
I would vote. but finally decided that
was fool to think of those things. and
voted just to show myself that had over
come my superstition.
And the first thing said when heard
that the President was shot was: Don't

SHELBYVILLE, KY, October 2.-Jimbo
Fields, aged sixteen, and Clarence Car
nett, aged eighteen, both colored, were
lynched here early this morning for the
alleged murder of VIII C. Hart a printer.
who was stoned to death on Saturday
night, September 21. The boys were taken
from the jail and swung from the Chesa-
peake and Ohio trestle within 500 yards Of
the jail.
The mob went to the Jail and demanded
the keys from the jafler, but he refused to
surrender them. The doors of the jail
were then battered down. The prisoners
were removed almost before they had time
to realize what was happening. The work
was done quietly, and the mob dispersed
without its members identity becoming
known.
Hart came to Shelbyville from Lebanon,
Ohio, and at the time of his death was
employed as a printer on the Shelby Senti-
mel
The details of his death are not .accu-
rately known. but the evidence was con-
elusive that Fields and Garnett were his
murderers. Hart's body was found in a
path leading from the house of the mother

NEW DIAMOND FIELDS.


+ rom The caracas Herald.
Eighteen months ago we drew the atten-
tion Of our readers to the discovery OF
diamond fields in British Guiana, without
being in a position to furnish exact data as
to their locality; since then the mines have
passed out of the embryonic stage and have
proved to be an enormous source of reye-
nue..
People are rushing to these mines now
as they formerly did to the gold fields. and
an odyssey is opening for this zone which
is situated on the upper Mazaruni. a little
river which empties itself at Bartica grove
into the river Essequfbo, that is to say in
the territory formerly in dispute between
Venezuela and England. The place is
reached in boats or canoes, and the route
although rugged, Is not dangerous. The
climate exactly resembles that of the au-
riferous district of FL Callao.
Our only aim In publishing these lines Is
to endeavor--ungrateful task-to rouse the
people of Venezuelan Guiana out of their
lethargy, for IL is natural to believe that
as gold is found in both Guayanas so
should diamonds be-
And it is with regret that we see yene-
zuelan Guayana sound asleep-almost the
sleep of death-whie British Guayana is
being developed with most rapid strides
What, then, is the reason why the Vene-
zuelan mines. with the exception of a few
worked by Englishmen. should have been
abandoned? 1t Is well known.
We read In the Demerara newspapers that
the Marshall diamond syndicate has re-
turned with 3.91S diamonds weighing 45o
carats, which were obtained from seyen-
teen cubic yards of their claim and a Mr.
Gilkes had also arrived with S27 diamonds
Messrs. Oates. as We learn from the
Demerara Chronicle. from which we take
this news, the experts Of the De Beers
diamond syndicate of South Africa have
been carefully examining the whole of the
diamond mining district on the Massarunt
They intend to visit all the diamondiferous
districts in that colony. after which they
viii visit Venezuela. Panama, Colombia
Peru, Bolivia and Diamontina in Brazil.
They intend to carefully examine all the
gold mining districts, and are empowered
to act as they may think desirable in the
interest OF the De Beers syndicate. Mr.
Oates. ST., Is a member of the Cape leSfs-
lature So
Mr.. Biallostenski. diamond expert of Ant
werp and New Amsterdam, who arrived in
weeks ago. is acting on behalf of an Am
sterdam syndicate for the procuration of
claims for diamond mining through British
Guiana.
After reading the above lines knowing
the practical spirit of the English IL cam
not be doubted that action OF such notabili-
ties must have sound foundation and that
they have not come out on a wild goose
chase.
A little initiative on the part of the
miners and capitalists of Ciudad Bolivar
would undoubtedly put us I'm a position in
a short time to announce that the diamond
fields of English Guayana stretched also
into Venezuelan Guayana-
