REFORM SCHOOL SENTENCE.
Colored Lad Declared by Probation Of.
ficer to Be Incorrigible.

Louis Wilson, a small colored boy about
the age of twelve years, living in South
Washington, was before Judge Scott yes
terday afternoon on charge of violating
the police regulation which prohibits the
turning in of false alarm, and after hear
ing the evidence the court committed him
to the reform school.
The boy was arrested several days ago by
Policeman H. X. Wilson of the fourth pre-
cinct police and sent to the house of deten-
ton. The officer stated that he had cap
tured the boy after a chase which covered
about six squares. 1t was charged by the
witnesses for the defense that the officer
had used the butt of his revolver when he
caught the boy and struck him a severe
blow over the head, and one witness testi-
fled positively that she saw the policeman
strike him just after he had grabbed him
after the long chase. The policeman denied
the charge and stated that the boy fell
against board fence and cut his head just
as he reached him.
The lad was taken to the Emergency
Hospital at the time, where ii was found
that he had received rather a serious cut on
the right side of his head Probation Off
Ger Copp of the board of children's guar
dams stated to the court that the boy was
incorrigible and had been before the Juve-
nile Court before for robbng slot machines,
and that the board had been unable to do
anything with him. Judge Scott then or
dered him sent to the boys reform school.
1t was stated in court this morning that the
charges against Policeman Wilson win be
investigated before the police trial board, as
the father had employed counsel to have the
case thoroughly inquired into.

AFFECTED DISTRICTS
WHERE THE RUSSIAN STRIKE IS
NOW DISTURBING OFFICIALS.
Growth of Moscow, Wilma and Kovno
as Industrial Centers-Cities
Depleted of Troops.

Moscow is not only the holy city of Rus
STA and the national center of the Musco-
vite race, but is it's commercial heart, and
one Of the great manufacturing cities of
the world. sa- 81 9-
t All around Moscow, at distances varying
from two to six hours by train, are great
spinning, weaving and cotton-printing
mills In recent years the cotton industry
has advanced with astonishing strides.
The population is now about 1,200, 600.
There are $50 factories in Moscow and its
district, employing 10000 workmen, and
producing goods valued at nearly 100000
600 yearly. The city itself has $50 facto-
ries
Ninety-three per cent of the artisans
come from the country as agricultural
peasants, and under an old-establiShed
system are lodged in the factories them
selves.
Moscow Workmen Get Sc Per Month.
A workman Of average capacity earns
about Sc a month He is kept under strict
supervision by the police, and at the be-
ginning of the war police circulars were
sent to the manufacturers for infOrma ton
upon all the Workmen likely to be dismiss
ed through want of employment, with a
view to enabling the authorities to keep an
eye on the unemployed and send them to
their homes in the country, or even arrest
them, If 1t was thought desirable.
Moscow had been largely depleted of
troops owing to the drafts sent to General
kuropatkin in Manchuria. In view of a
general strike, which has been expected for
months, the precautions taken by the po-
lice concerning the unemployed have been
extremely rigorous. About 20 per cent of
workingmen are believed to be out of en-
ployment owing to the industrial depres-
sion.
Wilma Of Historic Interest.
Wilma, the capital of a government in
west Russia, to which the strike has also
spread, is city of more than 100000 in
habitants. 1t manufactures tobacco. knit
goods, clothing, gloves and artificial flow
ers. AS junction of three important rail-
way lines it has an extensive commerce in
grain and timber. 1t is 1876 miles south
west of St Petersburg and is the old CAPT.
tai of Lithuania. Napoleon In 1872, en-
tered Wilma in triumph but fled from it in
December, leaving 10000 sick behind. The
city took prominent part in the Polish
risings of 1S30-31 and 1853, and the leaders
of the last Polish insurrection were exc
cuted there.
Kovno is the capital of the government
of the same name and ranks as a nrst-claSs
fortress. 1t is situated at the confluence
of the Wilma with the Niemen, 5O6 miles
southwest of st. Petersburg. The popula-
ton is about 10000, of whom half are Jews.

Batyuschka.

From yonder gilded minaret,
Beside the steel-blue Neva set,
family catch from time to time
The sweet, aerial midnight chime,
God save the czars
Above the revelins and the meats
or the grim citadel ii floats;
And men In dungeons far beneath
Listen. and pray, and gnash their teeth
God save the car
The soft reiterations sweep
Across the horror OF their sleep.
As If some demon In his glee
Were hooking at their misery
God save the ear
In his red palace over there,
Wakeful, he needs must hear the prayer.
How can 1t drown the broken cries,
Wrnng from his children's agonies-
God save the czar."
Father they called him from Of old.
Batyuschka How his heart Is cold!
Walt till million scourged men
Rise in their awful might and then
God save the cZar."

The soil of Virginia is as varied
as in Minnesota, though in the sec
lions which I have visited there is
very little black loan soil. The
surface soil is clay, containing al
very little sand, and is of all colors
from dark red-brown to cardinal
red, orange, yellow, ranging to al
most white, and even green in
few places, and is deep. Gravel is
| hard to find, and | have seen no
sand but am told that there are sec
tions where it is sandy. AS to its
fertility | can only judge from what
I have read, been told, or from what
may be seen in the winter months;
such as harvested crops and the
growth of grass on the meadows.
Here in Fluvana county where mea-
dows have been properly cleared
and prepared, the growth of grass,
both of the native wild varieties
and tame grasses, is abundant. |

bacco and corn which were grown
here. The oats we're good but as
to the yield | cannot say. Winter
wheat and tobacco [ know nothing
about, but | am told that they yield
well and are of good quality. Corn
is equally as good as that produced
in Minnesota, and when properly
cultivated, yields twelve barrels
per acre, as they measure here, OF
: sixty bushels as we would measure
, it. It is of two varieties, one known
! as upland corn and the other river,

i Imore than one stalk allowed to grow

CuApTER ~

VI DO not know why the coroner had
solong delayed to call thiswitness.
What he said was In the way OF
confirming the last witness testi-
mony as TO his having been at the
Moore house on Tuesday evening. Mr.
Moore. who was very particular as to
dates and days admitted that the light
which he had seen in a certain window
of his ancestral home on the evening
when he summoned the police was but
the repetition of one he had detected
there the evening before II was this
repetition which alarmed him and
caused him 70 break through all his
usual habits and leave his home at
night to notify the police
The coroner asked him if be had seen
Mr. jeffrey so in on the night In ques-
ton; if he had ever seen any one go in
there since the wedding, or even if he
had seen any one lettering about the
steps or sneaking into the rear yard
But the answer was always no; these
same noes growing more and more em-
phatic, and the gentleman more and
more impenetrable and dlgnided as the
examination went on. In fact, he was
as unassailable a witness as / have
ever heard testify before any jury.
Beyond the fact already mentioned OF
his having observed a light In the oppo-
site house on the two evenings In ques-
ton he admitted nothing. His life In
the little cottage was so engrossing, he
had his organ, his dog, why should he
look out of the window? Had it not
been for he usual habit Of letting his
dog run the payemeuts for quarter OF
aa hour before finally locking up for
the night he would not have seen as
much as he did.
Have you any stated hour for do
inG- thisT tue coroner now asked.

so long in reserve and brought out just
at this time, struck many Of Mr.. JEFF
frey's closest friends as unnecessarily
dramatic; but when the coroner. lift
ing out the ribbon, remarked tentative
", you know this ribbonT we were
more struck by the involuntary cry Of
surprise which rose from some one in
the crowd about the door than by the
look with which Mr. jeffrey eyed It
and made the necessary reply That
cry had something more than nervous
excitement i'm &C. Identifying the
person who had uttered 1t as a certain
busy little woman we'll known in town
/ sent an officer TO watch her; then re-
called my attention to the point the
coroner was attempting to make He
had forced Mr. Jeffrey to recognize the
ribbon as the one which had fastened
the pistol to his vifes arm. Now he
asked whether, in his opinion a wom-
an could tie such a bow 10 her own
wrist, and when in common justice
Mr. jeffrey was Obliged to say nc.
waited a third time before lie put the
general suspicion again into words
Can you not, by nome means or
some witness, prove to us that il was
on Tuesday night and not on Wednes-
day you spent tie hours yeu speak Of
on this scene Of your marriage and
your wife's deathr
The hopelessness which more than
once had marked Mr. JeiTrey's features
since the beginning OF this inquiry re-
appeared with renewed force as this
suggestive question fell again upon his
ears, and he was about TO repeat his
plea of forgotfulness when the c0ro.
ner's attention was diverted by a re.
quest made in his ear by one Of the
detectives In another moment Mr..
jeffrey had been waved aside and a
new witness sworn in.
You can imagine every ones surprise,
mine most of all, when this witness
proved to be Uncle David.
