CONVICTS FLOGGED.
Strap and Paddle were Exhibited
Victims Placed Over a
Barrel.

A Marquette dispatch to Detroit
papers says: The joint legislative
committee, appointed to investigate
the Marquette prison and the board
OF prison control, spent Wednesday
at the Marquette penitentiary TAX
ing the testimony of convicts. Eight
witnesses were heard, including
several ex-Jackson convicts who
were severely flogged 26 months
ago when Edward Huntley attempt
ed the life OF Deputy Warden
Mosher. Their testimony related
entirely to the severity OF prison
discipline, of which they complained
bitterly. Huntley testified that
only he and Curley knew of the plot
to kill the warden and deputy and
that all the other Jackson men who
were flogged were entirely innocent.
The strap and paddle used in ad-
ministering corporal punishment
were exhibited, and it was admitted
that, preparatory to padding pris-
oners they are bound over a barrel
and their clothes let down.
Hampton, partially insane con-
vict, said that he had endeavored to
get himself transferred to Ionia
with success, but that he was glad
when he was sent back to Marquette
as it was the better of the two
places.
He referred to the junket of the
legislature of 1893 as "a lot OF hay
seeds who ought to be on farms, !"
and said that Warden Freeman
bamboozled them by telling them to
"look at ceilings"
George M. Mccoy was permitted
to send to Montgomery Ward II Co., /,
of Chicago, for files which he re-
ceived through the mails. They are
now in Senator Murdock s posses
sion.
August Wolf testified that he had
seen Freeman drunk in the prison
and other convicts testified that
they had smelled liquor on his
breath,
Huntley, one OF the solitaries, is
in bad physical condition and his
back shows slight abrasions, where
he has been whipped.
All the prisoners manifesta desire
to talk, and the committee spent
Thursday in further examination.
The members are reticent about ex-
pressing themselves relative to the
testimony, but they seem to think
that there has been quite measure
Of severity at the Marquette in
stitution.

Peaceful Demise Of the Queen
Closes the Longest Reign in
English History.
BADE FAREWELL TO ALL.
Aged Monarch Breathed Her
Last Surrounded by the
Royal Family.

Cowes, Isle OF Wight, Jan. 22.-
Queen Victoria died here this even
ing at $50, peacefully and calmly.
She was surrounded by her children
and grandchildren. Death was
painless.
The queen is said to have bade
farewell in a feeble monosyllable to
her family, assembled at her bedside
at midday. She first recognized the
prince of Wales, to whom she spoke
a few words of great moment; then
Emperor William and the others
present filed past and heard a
whispered goodbye. All those in
the bedroom were in tears.
At $50 o'clock it became evident
that the queen was near the end
and the prince Of Wales never left
her room thereafter. Emperor
William and all the royal family also
remained near the bedside.
With the members of the royal
family gathered at the queen s bed
side the bishop of Winchester and
the rector of Whippingham read
prayers for those in extremis, Hap
PLY the queen was able to recognize
those around her. They came to
her bedside, but the physicians had
warned them against speaking to
her. Naturally the family, while
recognizing the claim for public in
formation, insist that the details of
the events around the deathbed
shall be sacred for the present and
imposed the strictest secrecy on the
whole household.
London, Jan. 23, EARLY this after
noon, at meeting of the privy

taries, took the oath OF accession,

toms. Upon his return to Marl-
borough house he was received with
great cheering from the people
along the route amid cries of Long

Politics in PRAYER.

Since the night OF the celebrated
Sault Ste. Marie prayer
meeting some years ago,
nothing has so stirred the religious
sensibilities Of community as the
recent incident that occurred over
the border at Hampton, Ind, when
a voter with the arrows OF the AL
mighty sticking fast in his conscience
arose and asked the prayers OF the
congregation for his having voted
for Bryan. Concerning the 500
prayer meeting, it goes that cer-
tain brother thus prayed in the heat
OF presidential campaign: "Oh,
Lord, bless the Democratic party
and cause its members to hang to-
gether," whereupon a republican
brother who associated "hang with
lynching bee, fervently exclaimed;
"Amenl Amenl" Realizing that his
petition was somewhat inexplicit,
the Democratic brother attempted
to clarity bis meaning by continu-
ing: mot, Oh, Lord, according 70
the sense in which my brother hath
said Amen, but in the spirit Of ac-
cord and concord" ANY cord will
do, Lord, any cord will do" cbimed
in the Republican, and then the
pastor arose and iuterdicted further
partisan praying.

POSTAL DEPARTMENT
SELF SUSTAINING.
BROUGHT hBOUr BY ANNUAL IN
CREASE OF REVENUE
Ex'"nston OF Rural Delivery Evcry-Icstab
lishmont or u Route IL Followed by ~
steady Incrcaao In tho Volume OF
Mail.

Washington, Nov. 26.-A solf sus-
taining service, brought about by tho
yearly increase Of tho postal revenues
resulting from general extension Of
rural FREQ delivery is tho conclusion
reached by First Assistant Postmas-
tor General VIM. johnson in his an
nual report.
OF the gross postal revenues Of the
United States for the past fiscal yoar
$7l, ,205 1894 came from S66 delivery
cities. The remaining 5000 presi-
dontial postoflicos yielded $l0,003,-
252, while the 72,l70 fourth class
postotlices produced $lS,0l3,5l0.
MIR. johnson says the fact that tho
postal services in the largest cities is
practically perfect is the explanation
of why the annual percentage Of in
crease in the revenue Of the free de-
livery postoflices should be three
times creator than in tho smaller
cities and five times as large rs that
Of the fourth GLASS Offices. As rural
free delivery reaches out into the
country, giving equal facilities with
ont regard to locality, he says it in
creases the revenues at rate at least
equal to that maintained in tho free
delivery cities, where, during the
past five years, it has averaged s per
cent. At the end Of the present tis.
cal year 5000 rural routes will be in
successful operation, 5000 being in
effect by December 2. The latter
figure represents just 80 yoars ago.
The inoxible policy is announced Of
avoiding hereafter maintenance Of
unnecessary postotlices aud super
huous star routes contemporaneously
with rural free delivery routes. On
July | last tho force of 1901 rural
carriers was serving z, ,84O,04.t people
at fraction over rs cents per capita,
aud on December 2 ncxt, 100000
of the rural population will be on
ioying free delivery. Every estab-
lishment of route, the report says,
is followed promptly by steady IN
crease in tho volume If mail, both
delivered and collected.
The city free delivery now em-
braces 500 cities and towns, includ-
ing four in the now insular possess
ions, all these employing an army of
lG,380 uniformed who collect and
carry the mails two or more times
each working day to 100000 pa
irons. The total cost per annum to
the department for this service is SO
cents per capita
