Walter Wellman made a trial of

FIENDISH H.AZERS.
New EmpIoye at Tube Works Nearly
Roasted Alive.

The fendisk joke Of brutal employ
es of the Tyler Tube and Pipe comp
any, at Washington, Pa, may result
in the death Of Henry Perry, new
employe, who came from Wheeling,
w. Va. Ringleaders in the hazing
escaped arrest by leaving town. Per-
ry is charred and blackened by ex-
terror burns, and it is feared that he
inhaled some of the flames from the
furnace over which he was suspend
ed by his torInenters.
The hazing occurred just after the
midnight luncl, hour, when the men
surrounded the new hand. Perry
fought valiartly toward off his as
sailants, but several powerful men
proved too much for his single
strength. They bound him with
cords to a big iron crane and swung
him time and again over a furnace,
which the workmen do not approach
unless protected by a shield. The
cords burned and Perry fell to the
floor, right in front Of the furnace.
His flesh was shrivelled from the heat
when the men pulled him away, and
he had lost consciousness. Frighten-
ed by their deed, the men called a
physician.

appeals more strongly to his ar''s..c

people living in the same town with
Earle have two or three times treated
the apostle Of free love to a shower OF
stale ggs, and he has left there for
more congenial neighbols.
These people know that such phases
assoul affinity are but pleasant express
sions to hide the worst form Of immor-
tality and crime, which is nothing less
than an assault upon the sanctity of the
home and the sacred ties Of marriage.
There is nothing attractive in the ac-

sensitive soul by carrying on an affair
with another woman.

DRIVER HEIR TO MILLIONS

Will Receive $4,000, 900.

Robert Newton Wilbore, driver
for the Southern Express company at
Richmond, Va, at 50 a day, awoke
a few days ago to find himself one of
the few men in Richmond worth
more than a million dollars. A let
ter from London attorneys advised
him he was heir to the large fortune

bore, who died in Sussex county,
England, on November 26, 1901.
The property was left to his widow,

Mrs Wilbore had just died, the law
yers wrote, and at the end Of six
months allowed for the settlement
the nephew will come into fortune
estimated at S5,000,000.
Wilbore is still driving his team,
and declares he has no plans for the
future, except that he and his mother
will leave for England on Nov. 1 to
take charge of his property.

Years in Prison.

BE Punished.
Rather than spend twenty years
in the North Carolina penitentiary
for kidnapping Kenneth Beasley, the
little son of State Senator Beasley, a
crime Of which one of his last acts
was to declare himself guiltness,
Joshua Harrison shot himself IN the
New Gladstone hotel at Norfolk,
Va, at $50 o'clock Tuesday after
noon, lying eight hours later.
Harrison arrived Tuesday and
went directly to the hotel. He came
there from Elizabeth City, N. c..
where he had appeared in court to
renew the bond on which he was at
liberty pending the decision Of the
North Carolina supreme court on a
motion Of a new trial in his case. His
bond was raised from $4,000 to S5,-
600 and he had no trouble in furnish
ing it. He Immediately left for Nor
folk, and the supreme court almost
as quickly rendered decision ad-
versely to him. The Norfolk police
were asked to arrest him, as he had
threatened suicide.
Harrison made no effort tc conceal
his Identity here, and no trouble was
experienced in locating him at the no.
tel room, and a little strategy was
resorted to get him ouU. A bell boy
was sent to his door by Detective
Wright, who went to make the ar
rest, with instructions to tell Harri-
son that he was wanted at the tele-
phone. Harrison told the boy that
he would not answer the phone, say
ing that he was not to be easily trap
ped by the police.
Detective Wright remained at the
foot of the stairway, as the bell boy
went up to deliver the message, and
as the lad returned to report to the
detective. a pistol shot was heard in
Harrison's room.
The door to the room was forced
open. Harrison lay across the bed
with a bullet hole in his right tenn
pie. Besides him was pistol. He
was still alive, but an examination
showed that there was no chance of
MS recovery.
In Harrison's room was found a
letter signed by himself, in which he
declared that he was innocent of the
crime Of which he was convicted and
knew nothing whatever about it.
The exact wording Of the letter, the
police have not seen fit to reveal.
Harrison was convicted in Eliza
beth City, N. c., February, 1905, for
kidnapping the young son of State
Senator Beasley, Of Williamson, Pas
euotank county. The boy disappear
ed while on his way to school, and
has never been seen since, although
a score of detectives seerched for
him for months. Harrison was an
enemy Of Senator Beasley and it was
charged against him that he kionap-
ped the boy and that this was his
method Of revenge. He denied the
charge to his dying hour.

Batter the Head and Face OF Steam

Must Win Their Fight.

The farmers must win taeir fight
against the spectators if they wish
to control the price Of their cotton in
tic future. since last Monday when
cotton has declined over ote cent per
pound. orin the neighborllcod OF six
do'iars per bale. The decline has been
steady all thro~ gh the period and is.
still on. The Columbia State says
"jf that loss could be made applicable
to the entire crop it would mean cut
ii: off receipts OF cotton growers on
a L, ,0oo, 900 yield by s6s, ,ooo. 900 J"
The State then asks lis there any
rea*ou for that tremendous shrinkage
in value? Have the mills received
stop orders? Is there any Indication
Of decrease in consumptior,2 Is there:
actual or thretened fall in the price OF.
goods? Does 1t appear that an Amer
ican crop of ever u, SOC, 900 bales will
give the world more cotton shan is ac-s
tuaIy needed. To all of h,se,"" SAYS
The State ''the reply must be en-
phatically in the negative. Then
why he sensatio al slum, ?
The decline is no doubt the answer
of the bear spectators to the action
of the Southern Cotton. Association
and the Farmers Union in fixing the
price of cotton at fifteen cents per
pound. They look upon tie action
Of the farmers in fixing fifteen
cents as the price Of their cotton as
presumptious, and they are doing all
hey can to hammer the p-ice down.
But as the State says "now is the time
for the farmers to stand together
This IS rcoJ aevice and if followed by
lie farmers they will Iout the specu-
lators ard get fcr their Gotten whatit
IS worth. We appeal to them to stand
irn, and not allow themselves to be
stampeded.
1t makes no difference what the size
Of the crop may be, every pound Of it
is worth what the farmers are asking
for it. The spinners can pay that
price for it as they need every pound
II tito n axe goods for which their is
demand at prices that give the mills a
5cod profit when paying the fixed
<rice for the raw material. Ehis is a
certainty. AS The Stale says Sit the
growers are firm, if they refuse to let
a handful OF brokers in New York,
that do not know a spindle from cot
ton plant, bahdle them like jumping
Jacks, they will win, and get prices

SOLD THEIR CHILD
To Chinaman, Who Adopts Him AS
His Son.

Somewhere out on the Pacific is a
little American boy born of white
parents who has been sold to
Chinaman, who will bring him up as
his own son in the land Of the Drag
on. This case is said to be without
parallel in the history of the United
States immigration affairs. It's the
first case Of this character ever re-
corded and is absolutely without
precedent.
When Sing Lee, a Chinaman,
boarded the steamship Chippewa at
San Francisco with his adopted son,
Samuel Edwards Sing Lee, an Amer
lean boy, with only the rights and
privileges of an allan, there ended
so far as this port is concerned, such
a story Of deliberate heartlessness
on the part OF dissolute parents that
hardened immigration officials were
visibly affected.
At Fort Wrangell, Alaska, Sam
Edwards married Jennie Ed
wards in 1858. On the eighteenth
day of October, 1899: a baby boy
was born to the couple and Edwards,
who was still drunken dissolute,
lounger, with no appreciation of
home life, manifested no apprecia-
ton of the responsibility which had
come to him.
The child was healthy and large.
When lit5le Sammy was three years
old, he was sold to the Indians for
small sum, with which the father
purchased whiskey to continue his
riotus life. For five years the little
fellow lived with the Indians and
was then sold to the Chinaman.
Mother, father, child and China
man appeared before L. A. Sloane,
United States commissioner and ex-
oficio probate judge at Wrangell,
where the papers Of adoption were
made out and signed.
Just what status Of the child will
be when it is Of legal age is a mat
ter which immigration officials are
discussing. Will the American man
consent to remain a Chinese subject!
VIII he be able to demand his
citizenship should he care to return
to America?
