HorseWhipped at Point
 of Pistol.
Tu the woods." says Hungarian Wit ness, "Men Do As They PIease,' No One Can See It But
 God.v

Pensacola. Fla, Nov. 19--(Special.)-- the most damaging evidence yet to be adduced against the defendants, in the now famous peonage cases, was brought out today, when the govern ment, still introducing witnesses, put on the stand a Hungarian, and later two women. The Hun had been capt. ured upon the highways of Florida held at the point of a revolver and beaten with a horse whip, while the two women had witnessed the whip ping of the man.
 It was the fourth day of the trial of w. s. Harlan. ct al, charged with con- spiracy to commit peonage, and when the court opened for the morning ses- session, the prosecution stated that there was no case against Jebbet S.. Howell, indicted jointly with Harlan, and others for conspiracy, and request ed the court to instruct the jury at the proper time to return verdict.
 Several witnesses were then exam ined. one of them, William Albert, re- lating how he had been arrested upon a warrant issued out of the court of Judge Johnson, at FloraIa. and had en- tered plea of guilty Because Woods Foreman Gallagher, from whom he had secured $fA and who caused his arrest, had told him If he did not plead guilty, he would be carried to Andalusia, and it would cost a great deal more. He had afterwards remained in jail thirty days, and had been taken out by Galla- gher after he had signed a contract to work out the amount

day. and the labor not being the class he contracted to do at the camp, start ed out for Lockhart to see the mana ger. and enter complaint. While en- route he lost his way in the woods. and finally reached a road. He was walking along the highway when he met Gallagher. Dr. Grace and sando.
 They were in a buggy. When they saw him. two of them leaped from the buggy. and while one of the trio held revolver pointed at him, Gallagher took a horsewhip from the buggy and gave him a beating. He was compelled to walk. beside the buggy with one of the men by his side, but meeting so many people on the road, ho was placed in the buggy.
 Reaching the plant at Lockhart. he again stated that he would not work in the woods, and was given another beating, Dr. Grace holding him while Gallagher piled the whip. The fol- lowing day he was sent back to the camp in the woods, where he remained until summoned to courr in Pensacola. On cross-exaination, witness said the men had three dogs in the buggy.
 Mrs. Paul. residing by ther oad near Laurel Hill, Fla, told the court of sec ing three men in bugy and two of them get out and while one pointed pistol at the foreignef, the other beat him with whip. Later they went off down the road with one of the men holding the foreigner. She asked one of the men whom they were whipping and what they were doing it for and he replied that he had stolen some thing.
 Woman Secs Whipping.
 Mrs. Elizabeth Gibson. a lady resid- ing near Mrs. Paul had also seen the beating of the foreigner on the high way. Dr.. Graz. physician of Laurel Hill, had met Gallagher and others on the day they had whipped the foreign CT. and Dr. Craig had said: Hello, Rob- whom are you looking for?' and Gal- lagher had replied, this thing" point ing to the foreigner.
 Something of the bloodhounds kept by the company was tol dby Alex Nor man, former employe, who said he knew Harlan. Witness said three bloodhounds were kept in an enclosure in Harlan's yard, and around the first enclosure was a second, which was made of high boards, inside which three small dogs were kept at all times It was the understanding that the bloodhounds were kept to trail men
 The government has about concluded with its witnesses, having examined tomorrow, the case will be complete and the defense will then introduce it's first witnesses. There is an exceptionally large number of witnesses for the de- fense, and the opinion prevails that it will be the latter portion of the week before the case is concluded.

a~.rscts from the Encyclopedia Amer sea,,a relative to the life of Chief Jus lice Rutledge, the great, great grea'' great grandfather of the detehoalie. The record said that he became insane at the age of 56. year aheel ne came Chief Justice.
 Tha vyftness was asked if he consid- cred 1t possible that this family history could affect the mental condition or tne defendant. e .,
 Witness replied that the connection in this case would be very remote. ne redity was fully recognized as pre- niannsinr cause to insanity, but that tha hereditv element in the cause of insanity was usually much nearer than in the present case. Heredity was only A predisposing cause and usually an active cause was also necessary 70 cause the development of the disease From the information at hand ne would think that Rutledge had developed in- sanity at an age that would render IL small probability that he nad trans mitted the disease to his children
 Effect of Typhoid.
 Witness said that 95 per cent. of fam flies had mental troubles of one sort or another within five generations.
 Asked of his opinion as to the prob ability of Chisholm's mind having been affected as a result of the case of ty- phoid fever. the witness said he did not believe that 1t could have had any ef- feet Mental trouble resulting from such fevers manifested themselves un- mistakably at once.
 On the cross examination Dr. Clark said the effect on man of returning to taxing work too soon after a case of typhoid fever might be very serious.
 He said typhoid fever sometimes left behind mental troubles, though this was rather exceptional.
 Witness said consanguinity In mar riages had a tendency to increase the hereditary strain of insanity in blood, and replying f" a question from the judge, said that the statement of sus- pect as to whether or not he was in- sane carries little or no weight with Fit Some acknowledge it freely; others never admit It.

The Green Flash of Sunset.

One of the most rarely witnessed
Of natural phenomena, but one that
has often been discussed in scientific
journals and that always awakens
wonder when seen, is the so called
''green flash" occasionally visible at
the moment of the disappearance Of
the sun behind a clear horizon. The
Observers eye must be fixed upon
the rim of the sun as it disappears
in order to catch the phenomenon.
An officer of the British navy says
that he has seen the green flash, al
though rarely, at the instant of the
setting Of a bright star. Among the
explanations offered is one based
upon the optical principle of COM
Elementary colorS. If one looks at
the sun and then closes the eyes a
green disk will be perceived. 4
sensitive eye might be similarly af-
fected by A brilliant star.

Asbsstus and It's Uses.

Asbestus was first mined about q
hundred years ago, chiefly as inter
esting to the geologist and mineral
ogist, and of little or no commercial
value. About 1868 it was first used
commercially in the manufacture OF
roofing felt and cement. Early at
tempts to spin this fiber were UNI
successful, but the difficulties have
now been overcome, so that single
asbestus thread weighing not more
than one ounce per 100 yards,
which has a pretty fair strength,
may be made.
Asbestos ropes for fire depart
ments are made entirely Of asbestus
or asbestus with a core Of steel.
With the steel wire core a three
quarter inch rope carries nearly
1000 pounds.-Chicago Journal.

HARVEST OF THE SEA.
A Peculiar Occupation Followed OF the
Coast of Ireland.


Coast of ireland.
Along the northwest coast of Ire
land, on the borders of the Atlantic,
dwells a hardy race Of men whose
chief occupation, when not en-
gagged in fishing, consists in the
manufacture of kelp.
This kelp is of great commercial
Importance, as from it is obtained
nearly all our iodine, body Of vast
use in medicine.
During the winter months the
kelp burners set out in their frail
little "curraghs" (small canoe-like
boats about twelve feet long, made
of canvass, and, proceeding along
the coast, fill the boats with sea-
weed, from which the kelp is made.
In this they are assisted by the wo-
men, who, bareheaded and shoeless,
take their turn regularly at the oars
and are almost as expert at it as the
men.
After a storm is the time selected
for obtaining the seaweed, as by
the force of the waves it has been
torn from its bed and is cast in
along the shore in large quantities.
When the boats are laden the sea-
weed is brought to a small creek and
there placed in heaps out of reach
Of fhQ tide. From this it is carried
in creels on the backs of men and
women to a point farther inland,
where it has to undergo process Of
drying.
The drying consists in exposing it
to the sun and wind, and the better
to do this they have rows of loose
stones laid about twenty yards in
length and a few feet in height.
Along the tops Of these they scat
ter the seaweed.
The drying takes months, so that
spring is well advanced ere it is
ready for burning. This does not
matter, however, as, owing to the
fuel-the peat, or turf, got from
the boys at hand-not being yet cut
and dried Tor "win," as it is term
ed), it is summer before the burn
ing in the kilns can commence.
The kiln is a deep trench dug in
the ground. Alternate layers Of turf
and senweed are laid in this till full,
and the whole is kept burning for
about three weeks, until it cakes to-
gether in a large black mass resem-
bling coke, but much more solid
and heavier. This is the kelp.
1t is then broken into blocks
about fourteen inches square and
brought by boat to the villages,
where it is sold, to be shipped to
more profitable markets. = London
