PUBLICLY WHIPPED
AS CROWD TAUNTS

Wilmington. Del, May 22.-"For
Gods sake stop, you are killing me. O,
spare me, spare mel"
Down on his knees at the foot of the
whipping post, Delaware's relic of
medieval form of punishment, Adam
Ward, IS, made this frantic appeal to
Warden Meserve, as the cat O. nine tails
cut frightful welts on his naked back.
One hand, which he a torn free from
the bindings, vas extended fraEtically
toward the warden who welded the
whip.
But as the lash continued to fall
Ward turned toward the 200 spectators
gathered in the workhouse stockade
to witness the public whipping, i'm
ploring them to intercede for him. Hard
lookh and taunts were the only an
swers. Altogether it was a scene not
to be compared with the frightful spec
tacle in the Roman a~mphitheater in
the days of Nero.
Ward was so weak he could hardly
stand and was dragged to his feet.
His free hand was again bound to the
post and the whipping continued.

CLOISTER FOR
FIRST Time IN 80 A
TO SEE DYING SISTER

Dubuque, May 22.-To dwell for
thirty-two years in the seclusion Of the
cloister of Trappist monks, to know
only the silence Of the pine clad walks,
the toll of the chapel bell, the low
chant Of the monks at the office, the
perfect peace that comes with utter iso-
lation from men and the ways of men,
and then suddenly to know the rush of
n great metropolis, the roar of rushing
trains, the glitter and glimmer of a
great and beautiful city. the throng Of
a city's millions, was the experience of
Brother Andrew, for the past thirty
two years a member of the Trappist
monastery, when on Wednesday he
left the Trappist monastery outside
Dubuque, to hurry to the bedside of his
dying sister, Mrs. Catherine Sheehan,
of Chicago, hat he might look once
again OF the face dear to him in life.
Thirty-two years ago a young man,
fair Of form and face, presented him
self at the doors Of the old monastery.
1t was surnmer time. and all the world
seemed fair.
All this time, in and out Of season,
Brother Adrew has known the peaceful
ways. According to his custom Brother
Andrew arose at 2 o'clock on Wednes-
day morning and went to the abbey
chapel for prayer. His duty there ac-
complished he repaired to his work and
was SO engaged When the abbot handed

Then the flood gates were opened and
the old monk, nov grown gray in the
service of his Master, broke down and
wept like a child. The old heartbeat
refused to be stilled, the old longing to
look once more at the beloved of his
youth took possession of him and ear
nestly, eloquently, with a strength
borne OF his great love. the old monk
pleaded to go back to see once more the
dear face of his sister. Permission was
granted, and he left for the great city
to look once more into the dearest eyes

Shipments of Cattle involved
in Deadlock.

Chicago. May 21.-War is on at the
stock yards between the big packers
and the commission men and a dead
lock involving at least one-fourth Of
the daily cattle shipments is deemed
inevitable.
The point at issue is whether the
packers or the commission men, which
means the shippers, shall stand the
loss on cattle caused by condemnation
of by theg government inspec.
tors at post mortem examinations.
Notice was served On the commission
dealers Wednesday by the packers that
they would refuse to purchase cows or
heifers except subject to post morteni
inspection.
The commission men had a mass
meeting last night at which the resolu-
lions We're adopted by a unanimous
vote which pledged the signers to abso-
lutely refuse to sell any live stock sub.
ject to post mortem inspection.
