Ate Heart Of Assassin.

A correspondent OF the North China
Daily News describes what followed
the execution OF an assassin: when
the heart of Hsu Hsilin was cut out
OF his body and had been laid before
the remains OF his Victim as a sacri.
fee 10 the late governors names,
members OF his bodyguard, to signify
their zeal and hatred OF the assassin,
seized Hsu's still warm heart and
cutting IT up into mInce meat boiled
II and served the grewsome dish
among themselves to be eaten. This
seems a poor way OF revenging tho
death OF one patron, especially since
IL was due to the very lneptitudo and
subsequent panic OF this very brave
bodyguard that enabled Hsu HslIln
20 fire SO many shots. without any
kind OF hindrance, at the late En

THEATRICAL NOTES
I'm A wOMAN's POWER

The story of the play "In a wo-
man Power" is that OF a man. who
has fallen into wrong-doing under
strong temptation. In it's develop
ment it shows his effort to shake of
the veil of his life. He marries a
beautiful accomplished young woman
OF high standing, whom he loves
truly and faithfully.
The play illustrates in a splendid
way the Vaccinations of bad wo-
man and the fidelity OF a good one.
DR.. Handicraft, otherwise known
as George Eastwood, is a character
which runs the gamut OF sentiment.
He would have been a good man but
for an Overwhelming ambition. 1t
was this that led him to break the
law. His love for his wife wins for
him great sympathy, while on the
other hand, his dual life would inn

What Prison
Rec ords Show
PROPORTION OF INMATES TO
POPULATION HAS BEEN DE.
cREAsINe.

WASHINGTON, August 16.-In 1904
the Census Bureau started out to as.
certain whether the country is getting
better, and it now announces that, bet
ter or worse, the ratio Of persons In
prisons to the entire population has
,'rcreased since 1890. Out of every
100000 Americans there are now l.
OoG in prison, while in 1890 there were
1867.
After thinking it over the census ex'
perts point out that this decrease may
raean only an extension of the proba'
ton and parole system, and the adop'
tion Of various other forms Of lenien
cy. They are inclined to believe that
this leniency is responsible for any
Continued decrease in the number Of
female prisoners. In 1880 5 per cent
Of the prisoners were women; in 1890
4 per cent, and in 1904, per cent.
Colored persons we're more com
mon among the prisoners in 1904 than
they we're in 1890. The increase was
particularly noticeable in the North
Central States, where IA per cent
were colored persons in 1890 and 20
per cent. in 1904.
