With two companions, Mrs. Maybrick
entered the carriage of Miss Dalrymple,
secretary of the sistcrhood, and was
driven rapidly to Staustell, small sta
ton IA miles away, where, after ex-
changing goodbyes with her compan-
ions. she boarded a train and started on
her journey to France. She will not
go to America until her presence there
is considered iInperatively necessary.
The greatest secrecy was thrown
about Mrs. Maybrick's departure
Mother Superior Julian. of the Con-
vent, said to Il representative Of The
Associated Press that under her in
struc,ions she must refer all inquircrs
to the home office. Others at the Con-
vent were equally uncommunicative.
At the railroad station orders were
issued forbiddinE the employees to dis
cuss Mrs. Maybriok or even to admit
that she was at the Convent.
When Mrs. Maybrick first arrived
here she was kept under strict surveil-
lance. Subsequently she was allowed
to walk in the quiet streets of this pic
turcsque place and i'm the shady coun-
try lanes in the vicinity. Those who
have seen the published portraits of
Mrs. Maybrick soon got to recognize
the black-robcd woman. with black
bonnet and flowing strings, and gave
her kindly greeting, which frequently
passed unnoticed Mrs. Maybrick seek
ing so far as possible, to avoid the at
tcntion of the curious. Her time at
the convent was taken up by sewing,
reading and chatting with the sisters,
cndcaring herself to them by many acts
showing that many years of seryitude
ut Ay!csbury prison had been unable
to stamp out her innate kindly dispo-
sition.
When Mrs. Maybrick left her peace
full retreat. this morning, she was
dressed in gray; she wore white boa
around her neck and she had gray
hat with flowers upon her whitened
head. These garments were sent by her
mother. the Baroness de Roques. and
were the first colors worn by Mrs. May
brick since her Imprisonment, Is years
back.
Mrs. Maybrick is not freed uncOndi-
tionally. She is out on ticket of leave,
but to all intents she is as free as any
other person, can go where she will and
will not have to make a report to the
British authorities. as once Mrs. May
brick is abroad, she will be outside the
British jurisdiction.
The Baroness de Roques has made
preparations at Rouen for Mrs. May
bricks arrival at her quiet home there,
where she will begin new life.

scythcs as Cherub Ornaments.

At first sight the scythe is strange
ornament for a church, but there is
nothing incongruous in these curious
agricultural implements as seen in the
parish church of St. Marys, at Horn
castle, in Loncolnshire Thirteen OF
these blades are nailed above the door
in the north chapel At one time the
blades numbered forty or fifty, but
owing to rust and decay many of them
have been lost. Each of the scythes is
about a yard in length.
The general belief is that these
blades were placed in the church in
commemoration of the zeal of peas
ants who welded them in defense of
their faith in the rebellion known as
The Pilgrimage OF Grace" which had
its rise at Louth in 1886. When peo-
pie saw the ruins of their churches
and abbeys they rose in revolt, and.
arming themselves with the instru-
ments OF husbandry, such as the
scythes, they went forth to encounter
the enemy. They were beaten and dis
persed, but in the eyes of their couf1-
trymen they were heroes. and the rude
implements with which they fought

CARGO TO PORT
Ship Star of Russia Returns
From Northern Waters
With Light Load of Salmon
THE CATCH is SMALL
Charles Watson, a Well
known Chinese on Water
Front, Is Attacked by Dog

The American ship Star Of Russia
sailed in through the Golden Gate early
yesterday morning. She is the first Of
the Alaskan salmon fleet to return
from the north. Captain Lindberg
confirms the report that so far the
catch is light in Alaskan waters. He
says that fish We're scarce at Karluk
but that the run was unusually heavy
at Chignik. In fact, when he left the
north the cannery people were COM
mencing to ship fresh salmon from
Chignik to Karluk to be canned rhere.
The Star of Russia made quick trip
of twelve days from Karluk. She only
brought 31,37S cases of salmon, where
as her capacity is 5000 cases. She is
consigned to the Alaska Packers As
sociation. AS soon as she has landed
her cargo she viii return north for an
other load.
Report was also brought by the ves-
sci that the Japanese foreman of the
cannery at Karluk had been killed, but
who committed the murder was not
known. 1t was reported that it was
one of his own countrymen employed
in the canery.

THE RAILROAD SYSTEMS

MiIes-AIl the Long

The total distance from st. Peters
burg to Port Arthur by the Russian
Trans Siberian Railway and the Rus
sian lines in Manchuria is 1913 miles, or
practically twice the distance from New
York to San Francisco. This is one of
the numerous interesting facts about
Russia and her railway and CONNER
cial systems presented in monograph
just issued by the Department Of Com
merce and Labor. says Harper's Week
ly. Regarding the railway the report
says:
The Russo-Turkish war Of 1889
caused an almost entire suspension OF
railway building. 1t was only during
the decade beginning with 1880 that ac-
tivity in this field was again resumed,
but the character and method Of con-
struction of the newly built roads
changed abruptly. In place of the
former trunk lines, connecting either
the black soil area with the seaboards
or the Baltic, Azov and Black seas, or
with the central industrial region
around Moscow, these years witnessed
the construction of great strategic rail-
roads, such as the Trans Caspian, the
Polessie system, besides roads primar-
lily destined for the service of relatively
small though important industrial re-
gions-Catherine line, Ivangorod- DOM
broVo. Moreover, the system of grant
ing franchises (concessions) was super
seded by the building and working Of
roads directly by and on account of the
state. At the same time the redemp-
tion by the Government Of great rail-
way systems was going on. so that for
some time it seemed as if all private
roads were going to be acquired by the
state. Although of late greater latitude
has been given to private initiative, by
far the greater part Of Russian rail-
ways is in the hands Of the Govern
ment. Out of 36,673 miles under the con-
troll Of the Ministry Of Communica-
ton on January 1, 1904, 24.436 are
worked by the state and 12,237 miles
only by private companies.

PIGEON LOFTS MAINTAINED
AT BRITISH NAVAL DEPOTs
Useful Carrier Bird Forms Part of
personnel of the Kings Sea
Service.

The news that pigeons are being used
to convey news of the raising of the
Ill fated submarine reminds one that
these useful birds are part of the per-
sonnel of our navy. There are Gov
ernment lofts at Portsmouth, Dart
mouth and elsewhere, and the birds
are numbered and registered in ex-
actly the same manner as our blue
jackets themselves. In the Ports
mouth lofts. which are in the Royal
Clarence victualing yards at Gosport,
and from which the birds now doing
such useful work are drawn, is an Of
nee where the Official log books are
kept with the utmost detail and pre-
clsion. There are stud registers and
report books in Which the doings of
every pigeon are chronicled; one vol
ume is devoted TO pigeons homing at
the loft and in another volume the va
rlous messages carried by the birds
are pasted. Among these it is inter-
estlng TO notice many that have been
sent TO the lofts by members of our
royal family when crossing the chan
mel. The moment a bird enters the
loft 1t is automatically shut into a box
by the dropping of a noiseless slide
and an electric bell summons an at
tendance to take the message it has
brought Westminster Gazette.

GREAT WORK BUILDING
MANILA BREAKWATER
After Trying White, Negro and Chi
nese Labor, Natives Are Now
E,mDIOved

neSe Labor, Natives Are Now
Employed.
A cockpit and a church are the espe-
cial attractions offered to the laborers
on the big Government breakwater
contract at Manila, says an exchange.
A million long tons of rock were
miles away and dumped in the harbor,
where a safer harbor is being de-
veloped.
In the early stages of this work
the contractors used American white
labor, but this gave place to the negro
(American), Chinese and Japanese.
until finally native labor was drilled,
and it has proved satisfactory.
At its quarry at Sisiman the con-
tracing company has erected a village
of nipa houses, in which over 1000
natives live. They do all the work of
drilling and handling rock, except that
of derrick engineers, blacksmiths, etc.
The natives are we'll housed and fed,
they have their church and school
house, a native doctor to look after
their physical wants, and a native
padre to minister the offices of their
church.
They have a band, made up among
themselves, and a cockpit and dane
ing for recreation and amusement. To
handle the native laborer successfully
highs grade white foremen are essen
tial. The average native is mentally a
child, and must be taught how to
work
