The Power of Interest.

A striking instance of the power Of
Interesting work and study to put new
life and new temperament even into
hardened criminals is related by Prof.
Joseph lie Conte in his autobiography.
1t occurred in 1882 at the prison in
Carson City.
Fossil footprints apparently of men
and animals had been found in the
sandstone of the prison yard, and
Professor I.c Conte, who at once went
thither. secured the aid Of the convicts
to blast out the specimens and help
him find more.
''They enjoyed the investigation in

intelligently. We entirely forgot that
they were criminals and some Of them
murderers, and all worked together
with interest.

CHAPTER Nv.

The morning light steals int the pris-
on cell with misty, yellow CLEAN, show
ing with vivid, cruel distinctness the
crouching form of George Temple, as he
waits to be taken before the magistrate
for his preliminary examination.
He waits patiently enough till his
case il called on, and he is marched up
an underground staircase to the dock.
The proceedings commence. the magis-
trate looking STORMY through his spec
tacles at the prisoner meanwhile.
Mr.. Mangle is sworn, and tells his
story in a lucid AMI bnsinesslike fash
ion, evidently to the qualification Of the
public beyond the barriers.
'.The prisoner has for some time held
the position of managing clerk in our
house. 1t accidentally came to our knowi-
edge that he was living far beyond his
income; and receiving information that
our manager was a notorious gambler on
the turf, and was betting heavily on
forthcoming race, we thought it right to
be on cur guard. On the day upon which,
I regret to say, large banking and dis
count firm suspended payment, the pris-
oner had obtained leave to absent him
self for the purpose, as we have since
discovered, of attending race at New
market, upon the result Of which he had
staked considerable sum OF money. We
had occasion to go through the books, and
we discovered, upon a close investigation,
that the prisoner had discounted bills
purporting to be accepted and signed by
the firm of Mangle, ,Holbein & CO., which
signature is forgery"
George is asked Ii he has any ques-
tons to put to this witness. The pris-
oner passes his hot hand across his be-
wildered brow, and shakes his head.
Then the magistrate intimates that he
Is remanded for week, for the compile
ton of the dispositions, when he will be
fully committed for trial. George makes
no pretense to answer the question of
the magistrate. who asks him IL he has
anything to say in answer to the charge;
and, meeting the young mans stony, de-
spairing glance, he decides within him
self that the prisoner Is a sulky, ill-con-
ditioned young man and thinks sagely
to himself OF the evils arising from gam
bling on the turf.
We must leave him in his cold cell
and 60 back to the little house at Null
ham, and the young wife, crushed and
broken in her sorrow, like down-trod-
den lily
Her maid has persuaded her to 20 to
bed. and has lighted, cheerful FIRE in
the bedroom; and undresses her, and
brushes out the long. silkcn, wavy hair
with loving, gentle hands. She goes
down presently anu asks tine cook 10

turning, makes her drink 1t, and then
sits BY her bedside till she Is fast asleep.

THAI il my name, sir" replied
George. trying RI SPEAK hanghtilv and
coldly. though his heart has sung like a
stone. May I inquire what business
has brought you here at this time of
night"
Il hold warrant for your arrest on a
charge of embezzlement and forgery, and
IL you will take my advice you will come
with us quietly"
For moment all the manhood Of the
young mans soul flashes up into mad
opposition to the quiet power OF the Off
GERS of the law, and, springing back, he
hits out wildly and madly.
The stout man is down, but only for n
second; he is up again, and crying out,
as he rushes upon his prisoner, Now.
Nichols be quick with them darbies!
That's it! All, he can't do much harm
now You had better have taken it
quiet, sir, as l advised you; you amt
no good to two men like us. However,
i don't bear no malice for the blow you
give me; it amt the first I've had; and,
after all. it's only natural. Cab ready
there, Nicholls?'
"All ready, sir; everything quiet"
For the first few awful minutes, Mag
gle had stood amazed and speechless; but
as she saw her husband manacled, and
waiting to be taken away, the awful
truth came across her mind.
"Oh, George, this Is not true! 1t
must be some mistake! Say 1t isn't true,
dear, and these dreadful men will not
take you away"
he ES
down at the pleading little face, and he
feels that his love could almost burst his
bonds asunder; and then his full heart
melts, and he says. with curious, half
sobbing utterance, 1T is all true, Mag
gle. God forgive mel"
"Don't say anything that may be used
against you," interposes the officer, in o
pitying, kind voice.
But the words have no significance for
husband or wife, for Maggie has thrown
up her arms with a wild shrek and has
fallen senseless on the floor.
"You had better leave her to the maid,
sir: she has only tainted. We can't wait
any longer Come sir, come"
Zone moment-only one moment, sir;
may be you have wife yourself. Only
let me kneel down to give her one kiss,
and l will come at once"
The officer turns away, and coughs vio-
lently, and murmurs, huskily, something
about "Very painful; but duty, duty"
whilst George takes a long look at his
wife and kisses her for the last time.
As the cab rattles away in the early
morning, Maggie is slowly awakening to
the awful fact that the sweet dream of
her life has passed away, and the stern
reality of facts stares her hard in the
face. She utters plaintive cry, and,
covering her face, sobs out, us it all a
fearful dream, or am / really and truly
felon's wife?"

Charlottesville, Ind, Nov. l6-In
spite of denials that have been made
Of reports that General Lew Wallace is
in a. serious condition, the fact remains
that the distinguished Indiana soldier,
diplomat and author is fast approaching
his end: He has broken greatly within
the last year, and the last few weeks
have tried his weakened constitution Sc
verely. Members of the family, as well
as close friends, deny the statement
that his trouble is cancer Of the stom.
ach, but the denials are couched in lang.
uage SO ambiguous as to leave little
doubt that this is the real trouble. Gen.
eral Wallace himself has apparently
given up hope Of recovery and is await
ing the end.

deress Must Die.

Montpelier, VT, Nov: i6.-By a vote
Of l53 to 49,. the house of representa-
tives, after a spirited debate. has re-
fused to pass to third reading and so
defeated the bill to abolish capital pun
ishment in the state.
There is much interest in the action
of the house because of the bill now in
committee to commute the death sem
tence Of Mrs. Mary "A. Rogers to, ten
years imprisonment. Mrs. Rogers was
convicted of the murder of her hus-
band, Marcus H. Rogers, and sentenced
to be hanged on Feb. S, 1904.
J., In spite Of the sentiment expressed in
the house by the vote, it is said that
the bill in behalf of Mrs. Rogers will be
reported. soon and a determined fight
made to save her life. -.
Altho the Vermont legislature has long
stood for capital punishment, it has fire.,
quently committed death sentences to a
life imprisonment, three such sentences
being commuted at the last session.
The last execution of a woman in this
state took place twenty years ago, when
Mrs. Meeker of Waterbury was put to
death for the murder Of her child. "

BIG LABOR UNIONS
ARE THREATENED
American Federation Council is.
sues Ultimatum to Three Lead
ing Organizations.

San Francisco, Nov. 16.--For the sec.
ond days session of the convention of
the American Federation of Labor, del.
egates were in their places early and
the gathering was called to order by
President Gompers:
read the report of the executive coun-
Gil The committee decreed that unless
the Chicago Federation of Labor and
the central bodies of Indianapolis and
Washington, D. c., complied with the
demands and constitution Of the Ameri-
can F'ederation1of Labor before the .ex-
piration of the present session, the char
tiers of these organizations would be
permanently revoked.
Marine Troubles Discussed.
Some of the principal contentious re-
ferred to by the committee were those
existing between the Longshoremen and
the Seamen's union, and the dispute
between the Brewery Workers and the
International Association of Firemen
and Engineers. The ultimatum of the
council was that unless the Brewery
Workers recognized the provisions of
the constitution of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor and allowed engineers
and fremen employed in breweries to
come under the jurisdiction of their re-
spective organizations before the end
of the present session, no attention
would be PAID to the brewers petltlons
to place firms on the unfair list; that
the firms so listed by the brewers would
not be recognized as such by the. Ameri-
can Federation of Labor and that the
brewers label would not be considered
by the federation.
Another central labor body which
came in for censure Of the executive
council was, that of New Orleans. The
latter organization boycotted a union
labor paper of the city because of an
expression of opinion on the part of the
editor. This was styled by the coun-
ell as a violation of free press, and a
fundamental principle of unionism, and
the New Orleans body was given thirty
days in which to remove the boycott
or the alternative of having it's char
ter revoked.
The situation in, Colorado was re-
ferred to- as "shocking" and a deter
animation was expressed to aid the West
ern Federation Of Miners, both morally
and financially, in their efforts to have
the matter brought before the highest
court of the land for final adjudication.
The report closed by urging all union
men to work persistently to the end
that an anti-iniunction bill, eighthour
law and measures to regulate convict
labor and enforce Chinese exclusion
might be passed by congress.
