WANT WHIPPING POST.

"The whipping post for wife-beaters
should be adopted" Two justices of
the peace declared in Chicago on Satur-
day that they could think of no other
manner in which brutal husbands could
be punished without having the punish
ment react ON their families. If the wife
beater is sent to the Brideweli the MEM
bers of the family are left to shift for
themselves, and are likely to experience
hardships. Then, too, the justices argue,
the man who strikes woman should be
given some of his own medicine. By
having the whipping post in a public
place, they hold, the victim would be
humiliated to such an extent that such
offenses would become less numerous.
The justices who found themselves
confronted with the wife-beater problem
were John X. Caverly and John X.
Prindeville. Three men, charged with
assaulting their wives, were arraigned
before Justice Cayerly in the Harrison
Street Police Court, and each was heav-
lily fined. Those who were fined were
Harry Brooks. fined $S5 and costs
Philip Treusner, fined 500 and costs
Lou Oliver, fined 800 and costs.
Each case was one Of great aggrav ated
brutality. Justice Caverly said: "No
punishment is too severe for man who
beats his wife, but in nearly every in
stance the wife or children are the ones
who suffer, because they are left without
support. Some wife-beaters, however
cruel they are, support their families.
If they are sent to the Bridewell their
families are left to shift for themselves.
We need legislation whereby such Of
Tenders can be punished without injur-
ing the family. In my opinion the
whipping post is the proper punishment
for the man who assaults his wife. Let
the punishment be administered i'll
some public place where the public can
see him, and let him be pointed out as a
wife-beater Delaware has successfully
used such form Of punishment, and |
believe Illinois can. In each of the
three cases of cruel husbands before me
the wives are lett to support themselves.
I offered each man hisreleaseif he would
promise to reform, and in each instance
the wife objected to his return to the
home and nothing was left for me to do
but impose fine"
l, too, am in favor of the whipping
post for wife-beaters," Justice Prinde-
Vile, said: II never will be lenient
with such offenders where their wives
object to their dismissal. Every man
who beats his wife should be taken to
the whipping post, set up in place ex-
posed to public view and given a number
of lashes. Legislation to this effect is
needed in Illinois, and it will be just as
effective here as it was in the east"

TURN GRAPES ISTo ACID.-Twenty-

TURN GRAPES INTo ACID.-Twenty-
five thousand dollars will be paid to the
person who can devise an economical
process of making grape acid from grapes.
This is the offer made by the American
Grape Acid association, which has its
Headquarters in San Francisco. The
association has for its object the further
ance of the California grape raising in
dustry. In explanation of its rather
startling proposition, the company as
serts that the cheapness and abundance
with which grapes can be produced in
California bids fair TO demoralize the
wine and raisin markets. To prevent
this formula is desired which will per-
nit the transformation of the entire
grape, instead of only the lees or iesidue,
as at present, into tartaric acid and cream
of tartar, for which there is tremendous
demand in he United states The ar
Qument advanced is that inasmuch as in
the ripening of the grape acid is trans
formed into sugar, there is reason to
believe that aschemical process may be
evolved By which the sugar in the fruit
can be made to revert to acid. Twenty
five thousand dollars awaits the solver OF
the problem.

THE MILLER CASE.

The case Of Assistant Foreman w. A
Miller, of the government printing Office,
who was reinstated in his position by or
der of President Roosevelt after he had
been dismissed because of his expulsion
from the local Bookbinders' Union, came
up for informal decision at the meeting
Yesterday of the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor in Wash
ington. No statement could be obtained
at the conclusion of the days proceed
ings either from President GOmpers or
any member of the council in regard to
the matter, and the usual official state
ment of the days doings, given out after
the meeting, completely ignored the
subject.
A new feature Of the case occurred
when President Whitemore, of the
Stereotypers' Union, employed at the
government printing Office, petitioned
President Gompers in favor of Miller,
urging him not to give the support of the
federation to the petition to President
Roosevelt asking for Miller's removal,
sent out as a memorial from the Central
Labor Union of Washington, and which,
it is said, President Whitmore character
lied as a blunder. President Whitmore
is lifelong republican, and also one OF
the most prominent union men OF Wash
ington. 1t is said that some other strong
union men at the government. printing
Office will join Mr.. Whitmore in his
stand.
The Presidents attitude toward union
labor came up before Columbia Typo
graphical Union, No. 101, Sunday, in
the form of resolution criticising his
course in the Miller case. The purport
of the resolution was very similar to that
adopted and sent throughout the country
by the Central Labor Union. Action
on the resolution, however, was in
definitely postponed, following state
ment by a member that a conference on
the subject was soon TO be held between
President Roosevelt and prominent labor
leaders, and that any action in the
meantime would be inopportune.
The Central Labor Union, OF Wash
ington, last night took supplemental
action in the case Of w. A. Miller and
adopted strong resolutions, which we're
sent to President Roosevelt, urging Mil
ler's dismissal. The union earnestly re-
quests the President to modify his orders
of last July to Secretary Cortelyou, in
which the President says there shall be
no discrimination between union and

non-union labor, and they further petit
ton that "W. A. Miller, assistant fore
man in the bindery of the Government
Printing Office, be dismissed, to promote
the efficiency of the service, on charges
made by the Bookbnders' Union, which
prove his unilness for public servant" "
The union also adopted resolution,
which was sent to its secretary, Charles
w. WiDslow, now at the convention OF
the International Association of Bridge
Structural Ironworkers, at Kansas City,
Mo-, requesting that the convention pass
resolutions in regard to the order of the
President on "open shop" and the
Miller case.

rhree Young Ladies drowned.

Pittsburg, Pa. Aug. 2S.-Three young
ladies were drowned in Girty's RIM,
Shaler township, at 2:l5 this morning,
while returning from a dance in the
country. The dead are Myrtle Scott, Nam
ME Scott and Annie Clefard. The
morning was very dark. Hays Scott was
leading the horses along narrow ap-
proach to the bridge which spans the
narrow run. The latter was greatly swol-
len by reason OF the recent rains. Flora
Scott was also in the carriage with her
sisters and friend, while I. W. Grail
and Martin Hauck walked behind the
carriage. AS soon as Hays Scott and the
horses walked upon the undermined road
way, it gave way, throwing the horses
and leader from their feet, and down to
the unprotected embankment. The car
rage overturned, throwing its occupants
into the rapidly running water. Grail
and Hauck jumped to the creek bank
and pulled Hays and Flora Scott from
the water. The latter were already in
an unconscious condition. In the dark
ness no trace of the others could be
found. Later their bodies were recovered.

A terrific wind and hail storm passed
over Mecklenburg county, Wednesday
The path of the storm was between
Boydton, the county seat, and South
Hill, and the damage done to the crops
is heavy loss to the farmers along its
path. A gentleman just from the county
says that the tobacco on over 5000 acres
was completely torn from the stalks, and
that corn was literally torn to pieces.
The loss is estimated at over S75, 900.
A serious fire is raging in Craigen
tunnel, on the Norfolk and Western
Railway, near Virginia City, in Wise
county, and officials of the road say the
outlook is that the fire will not be under
control for three or four days, and that
necessarily all traffic in that territory
will be blocked for that period. The
tunnel is in the heart of the Toms Greek
and Norton coalfelds, and is one through
which heavy coal traffic passes to get to
market. The tunnel is a very long one
and is lined with heavy timbers.

SECRETARY HITCHCOCK of the lnte-
rior Department, has been brought face to
with a scandalous state of affairs in the
Indian Territory by the report of Samuel
NJ. Brosius, an agent of the Indian Rights
Association. 1t involves the head of the
Dawes Commission, international Reve-
nue. Collector Cobb and United States
District Attorney Soper The report
states that Indians have been induced to
lease their lands to whites who have re-
fused to pay rent orsurrender possession,
anditis said that the Interior Department
officials and friends of Mr. Hitchcock
are connected with companies engaged in
this illegitimate business. Indian Com
missioner Jones says that 10000, 600
acres of land and 400, 900 Indians are in
volyed. 1t would appear that there is
no branch of the government which is
free from scandal.

THE LATEST defense made by biga-
mist is an allegation that he was hypno-
TIED when he married woman who has
caused his arrest. The accused is Fred
erick w. Dampeer, of New York city,
who says he is a steamer steward. He
was taken in custody at Saratoga. Wife
No. declares Dampeer married her in
st. Michaeps Church, in New York
city, on July 10, 1902, and that he COM
mitted bigamy in Saratoga on Aug. 9,
1908, by marrying Marie Appel, a pre-
possessing chiropodist, at the parsonage
of the Second Presbyterian Church.
Dampeer admits that he knew that he
was already married when he married
the second time In exteuuation Of his
conduct he says that when he married
wife No. he was hypnotized and that
while in that state she compelled him to
marry her; that he could offer no re-
sistance. and therefore he is not respon-
sible for any bigamous charge that may
be brought against him. 1t remains to
be seen how the court will regard Dam
peers defence.

The Balkan Insurrection.

Sofia, Aug. 28.-Public excitement
here over the insurrectioDary movement
is daily becoming more dangerous. 1t
is generally believed in official circles
that all depends on Prince Ferdinand's
attitude toward the uprising as to
whether Bulgaria becomes part OF the
chaotic area or takes the side of the peace
party. 1t is probable that the former
will be the case as Ferdinand is not con-
sidered of strong enough personality to
secure complete calm. An error in his
judgment would lose his throne, and
throw the country into the hands of the
insurrectionists who are daily making
prodigious strides in the district of
Adrianople.
Constantinople, Aug. 2S.-The i'm
perial troops sent from Adrianople to
Kirk-Kilesse district have been defeated
by insurgents. The insurgents in
Adrianople district now number 5000.
Vienna, Aug. 2S.-According to a
dispatch received here today, the insur-
gents hold all the villages in the dis
trict of Melkoirinovo in the vilayet OF
Adrianople. They have burned every
guard hause from Urumpkjui to the
coast, killing or scattering theoccupants.
A communication from Ipek states that
the departure of Nassir Pacha from that
place was the signal for excuses by
Albanians who murdered number OF
Christians.

Kaiser's anger, by inducing his majesty

resentment at the scheme, inasmuch as
the chief promoters are rouge merchants
and Others, who have brought ridicule
on the scheme. Numerous notable per-
