Extraordinary Find.

The news has just reached this
country that the Academy of Sciences
at st. Petersburg, Russia, has lately
received an extraordinary acquisition
"a complete gigantic mammoth with
even its skin in perfect state of pres
ervation. When the news came that
such a mammoth had been found the
academy sent out an expedition under
DR.. Otto Herr to the spot, wild place
on the banks of the Beresovka river.
where a recent landslide had disclosed
the gigantic animal S body. DR.. Herz'S
party had the greatest difficulty in
getting the animal out of its bed. A
wooden house was built and big fires
lighted TO thaw the ice. At last il
was all removed and got to st. Peters
burg from IrkutSk. The hide was per-
feet and alone weighed $50 pounds. 1t
is covered with thick, strong hair from
eight to twenty inches long. The
flesh, according to expert biologists.
must have lain in the earth and ice
about 10000 years. 1t is blood-red
and has certain elasticity. Between
the flesh and the hide is coating of
fat three inches and a half thick,
which had enabled the mammoth to
bear the most intense cold. The
stomach, found intact. was filled with
various grasses, and the teeth were
lined with vegetable matter. indicat-
ing that the animal was feeding when
suddenly buried.

LABOR RIOT AT BENwooD

Wicked Fight Which IL Nearly

Wheeling, w. Va. Aug. 17.-From 8
o'clock Saturday night until ! a. M.
Sunday, the streets of Benwood were
the scene OF wild riot, between strik-
ing machinists and the non-union men
who replaced them at the Riverside
plant Of the National Tube company.
For four hours an indiscriminate bat
tie ragged between the two forces. AL
though 1000 shots were fired but two
men were wounded by the flying bull
lets. Clay Hoover, a passer-by, was
struck in the left knee, and another
man was wounded in the leg. He was
quickly carried off by the strikers and
his name could not be learned.
The strikers began the trouble by
setting upon and beating an old man.
This was followed by two other as
saults upon noD-union men, who were
terribly beaten on their way home
from work. The non-union men then
armed themselves and the fight began.
The police finally succeeded in dispers-
ing the contestants.

TYP0GRAPHERs ADJOURN

Hammond, Ind, Turned Over
In ChYcaUa.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE conven-
ton of the Typographical union has
adjourned. The most important action
taking place on the last day of the
convention was resolution to make
an effort Jan. /, 1905. all over the
country (where it does not now obtain)
to secure the eight-hour day. 1t was
also decided, If sufficient funds can
be raised within a year to give the
memorial to the late Representative
Cummings, of New York, the form of
a library building at the Printers
Home in Colorado.
With reference to the Conkey plant
at Hammond. Ind. where a struggle
has been going on for a long time, 1t
was decided to give the jurisdiction to
the Chicago union. Conkey insists that
the Jurisdiction should be in an Indi-
ana union, desiring to have the advan-
tage of the lower scale in Indiana, but
the Chicago union argued that the
proximity Of Hammond to. Chicago
made 1t proper that the town should
be under Chicago union jurisdiction.

If, instead of SO doing, it had replied

South No Longer Has . Monopoly.
cit is well to look the matter fairly
In the face. Many good men join in
these uprisin IS, Mortified at the afro
city of the crime and eager for swift
and summary punishment. OF course,
they violate the law themselves, but
rely on the public sentiment behind
them for escape from punishment
Many Of these lynchings are accom-
panied by the horrible barbarities of
savage torture, and all that can be said
in palliation is the atrocity of the Of
fenses which led up to them. For
time they were conf ned largely to the
south. but that section of the country
no longer has monopoly.
Refers to the Cause Of Lynching,
''The chief offense which causes
these lynchings has been the rape OF
white women by colored men. No
words can be found too strong to de
scribe the atrocity of such a crime
1t is no wonder that the community
is excited Men would disgrace their
manhood IL they were not And If a
few lynchings had put a stop to the
offense society might have condoned
such breaches of its law; but the fact
is-if we may credit the reports-the
crime instead of diminishing Is on
the increase The black beast Qor
only beast would be guilty of such
an offense) seems to be not deferred
thereby. More than that, as might be
expected, lynching for such atrocious
crimes is no longer confiLed to them,
but is being resorted to for other Of

Though the characters in "A Gentle

zeal, yet the drama is really historical
In that 1t gives an accurate and faithful
picture Of life In France In the sixteenth
century. In the preparation of the play
it was necessary for Mr.. A. d. Hall,
who dramatized the work, and Mana
gers M. w. Hanley & Son to make an
exhaustive research among books and
records in order that the atmosphere
Of the period might be obtained. To the

JUSTICE SUGGESTS A REMEDY
Would Mako Punishment Certain and
Summary, and Abolish the Appeal.

Would Make Punishment Certain and
Summary, and Abolish the Appeal
What can be done to stay this
epidemic of lynching? One thing is
the establishment of a greater conf
dence in the summary and certain pun
ishment of the criminal Men areafraid
of the laws delays and the uncertain
ty of lis results Not that they doubt
the integrity Of the judges, but they
know that the law abounds with tech
nical rules and that appellate courts
will often reverse a judgment Of con-
viction for a disregard of such rules,
Notwithstanding a full belief in the
guilt of the accused. If all were GER
tain that the guilty ones would be
promptly tried and punished the In
ducement to lynch would be largely
taken away.
I'm an address which delivered be-
fore the American Bar association at
Detroit some years since 1 advocated
doing away with appeals in criminal
cases. 1t did not meet the favor of the
association, but l still believe In its
wisdom. In England the rule
has been that there was no appeal In
criminal cases, although q question Of
doubt might be reserved by the presid-
ing judge for the consideration Of his
brethren. Hon. E. j. Phelps, who was
minister to England during Mr.. Ceve-
lands first administration, once told
me that while he was there only two
cases were so reserved. Does any one
doubt that justice was fully admin
istered by the English courts?
1T Is said in extenuation of lynch
ing in case Of rape that it is an addi-
tional cruelty to the unfortunate vic
tim to compel her to go upon the wit
ness stand and in the presence of
mixed audience tell the story Of her
wrongs, especially when she may be
subject to cross-examination by over
jealous counsel. do not belittle this
matter, but it must be remembered
that often the unfortunate victim new
er lives to tell the story of her wrongs,
and IL she does survive she must tell
1t to some, and the whole community
knows the fact
Even In the court room any high
minded Judge will stay counsel from
any unnecessary cross-examination
and finally, il any lawyer should at
tempt It the community may treat him
a. an outcast- 1 can but think that
Il the community felt that the GRIM
lnal would certainly receive the pun
ishment he deserves, and receive II
soon, the eagerness for lynching would
disappear, and mobs, whose gatherings
too often mean not merely the destruc-
ton of jails and other property, but
also the loss of innocent lives, would
greatly diminish IN number.
Zone thing is certain-the tendency
Of lynching Is to undermine respect
Tor the law. and unless 1t be checked
we need not be astonished II 1t be
Fesorted to for all kinds Of offenses
and oftentimes innocent men suffer
for wrongs committed by others"
