STABBED HIMSELF IN HEART.
Geo. ii. Bell, Recently Released From
Asylum, Commits Suicide.


George II. Bell, former editor and
legislator, who was recently released
from the state asylum for the insane
by order of the superior court, cut
his throat in the smoking car of
a Central of Georgia train near
TOOmsboro Wednesday morning. He
died 40 minutes later.
Bell borrowed a knife from a
chance acquaintance in the smoking
car, and later his body was found
with his throat cut and two other
wounds inflicted, one stab being in
the heart.
The body was taken at once to
SWainsbOrO, the home of DR.. Green
Bell, his father.
MIR. Bell had been in Atlanta a
few days, and was returning home
when he killed himself. He Dor
rowed a pocket knife from a fellow
passenger and went into the smoking
car, where the conductor found him
a few minutes later in a pool Of
blood with his throat cut.
A newspaper containing an ac-
count of his wife's suit for divorce
was found with his hat, coat and
collar which he had taken off and
laid aside.
Exactly one month last Thurdsay
George H. Bell was released from
the insane asylum at Minedgeville
after one Of the most noted legal
battles in the history of Georgia
courts. He had been drinking con-
siderably since his release.

IN COURTS MANY YEARS.
Court Becomes Tired and Orders
Horse Case Dismissed.

An order has been handed down
by the state court Of appeals demand
ing that the case of Fudge VS.. Kelly,
a court case in Miller county arising
over a horse trade, be brought to an
end. The peremptory order was in
spired by the fact that the case has
been appealed three times and fills
many pages in two separate volumes
of the higher courts reports.
The affair is involved in such a
maze of legal technicality that a
fun statement Of the case would fill
considerable space. Many years ago
the two contestants snapped horses
One claimed that he had been given
an animal against which a court ex-
ecutiOn was outstanding, and de-
manded that the other rue back. 3"
Then they went into court, and
have been in court ever since, each
spending several times the value of
the horse in litigation,
When tried last a verdict was rem
dered for the original defendant, be-
cause the original fl. ia. against the
horse was not produced
This verdict is reversed by the
higher court, on condition that the
fl. ia. be filed within a specified time;
if not filed the verdict stands. In
any event, the court says the litiga-
ton must end.

THE HINDU IMMIGRANT.
Unlike Others, He Brings Neither
Wife Nor Children With Him.

The Hindu is the most picturesque
! of all immigrants to North America
He usually lands at one or the other
of the large Pacific ports, although
stray Hindus have been known to
enter the continent by way of New
York, New Orleans ana Montreal.
He comes clad in countless curious
styles. Yards upon yards of cotton,
calico, or silk are swathed about his
| head, forming turban, cone-shaped
or round like button mushroom,
with wave or point directly in the
middle Of the forehead or to the
right or left.
Some of these turbans have a long
end hanging down from the back,
gracefully and somewhat coquettish-
ly dangling over one shoulder; 9TH
ers with the end securely tucked in
to the twisted rolls that Irvine
round and round the head. A scar
let Turkish fez tops the head of
another, while a third wears an or
binary cap or hat, and a fourth goes
about bare headed.
One of the chief points of differ
ence between the emigrant from In
dia and those hailing from Europe
lies in the fact that the European
brings along with him his family
his wife and children and perhaps
aged parents and grandparents
when he emigrates to America.
Only one sex is represented among
the Hindus.
Without doubt most of them are
married, Hindus being famous the
world over for their early mar
riages, but they leave their wives
and children behind them and come
alone to finu the fortune that most
of them believe awaits them in the
west. There is is only one Hindu
woman On the North American con-
tinent. She lives with her husband,
a doctor of Vedic medicine, in Van
cOuver, B. c. So far as can be
learned only one Hindu-the writer
of this artlcle-has married an
American woman.

VALUE OF SNAKE SKINS.
Operation of Removing Them From
Live Reptiles Intensely Painful.

Live Reptiles Intensely Painful.
1t is said to be a hard matter to
skin a dead snake so that the skin
will remain in good condition; con-
sequently, in many regions Of the
world wnere snakes are caught for
the purpose of supplying the market
with skins for pocketbOOks, belts,
etc, the snake is skinned alive, an
operation which intiicts upon this
arch enemy of man the most intense
pain. Some are skinned dead, but
the difference in price of skins taken
from the dead reptile and those from
the one alive does not make the
more humane method popular. Dead
snakes bring only from to cents,
while live ones bring from 25 cents
to 81. Sumatra has a number of
snake-skin factories, as that trOpi-
cal island abounds n the Ophidian
species. When a hunter brings in a
live snake one operator takes it by
the neck and another by the tail, and
the reptile is attached by the neck
to a tree trunk A sharp knife is
used to cut the skin just below the
head, and then, while the other fell
low holds the snake taut, the first
operator peeIs the skin from the
squirming body. The reptile, minus
its skin, writhes in eXcruciating pain
for an hour or so before it dies.

and shorter hours Bricklayers were
working twelve hours a day for a pit
tance. The employers were stubborn.
They called a general meeting at the
General Labor offices (Fomento del
Trabajo NacionaD. An important mo-
ton was passed and the assemblage
passed to another room to affx their
signatures. Already forty persons had
signed when beneath the table a fear
full explosion took place. Tables and
chairs were torn to splinters; the roof
fell In; the light swere blown out. The
panic was indescribable. over twenty
persons were more or less seriously in
jured, but no clue to the criminal was
ever discovered.
Industrial energy grew in Barcelona
in spite Of these occurrences, but the
relations between capital and labor
passed from bad to worse. The manu-
facturer Batillo occupied a house at
the corner of the Square of Catalina.
A dynamite bomb was placed in the
doorway on the first floor The ex-
plosion tore down walls and portions of
the staircase up to the third floor An
old servant, 20 years of age, was NOR
tally wounded and died a few days
afterward. Baltic and his wife
escaped unharmed, but the merchant
never opened his factory again, and
1900 families remain without employ
ment.
After this outrage petards, charged
with powder, were discovered in differ
ent parts of the city. The police were
hopelessly bafied. A bomb exploded
in the doorway of the first floor at No.

the manufacturer Alsina.

was the time of Corpus Christi, and a
religious procession was slowly pass
ing along the street called Cambios
Nuevos. Bearing lighted candles,
women, children and priests were es-
corting sacred banners and emblems.
How terrible must have been the
fright and agony of these poor people
when suddenly an Internal weapon
burst in their midst! The cries of the
killed and wounded rang through all
Spain, but the author Of this dastardly
crime was never discovered.
Immediately afterwards commenced
a series of outrages which terrified the
entire population. Time after time
deadly cylinders exploded in a public
resort in the Rambla de las Flores
and several people were killed or
wounded.
In the Rambla de Catalina a bomb
burst by the side of a flower stall and
young and beautiful girl Of some
twenty years was torn to pieces.
The police, frantic at their own vain
efforts to put a stop to these horrible
crimes, set about more cruel methods
of repression.
The Italian police agent Ascheri,
denounced to the then civil governor,
Despujols, some forty suspects. These
were put to the torture at the fortress
of Montjuich. They were beaten,
placed in solitary confinement in dark
cells, salt fish was given as their sole
food, and water was denied them, All
the paraphernalia of the inquisition
were utilized, and with fiendish inge-
nuity the "helmet" was invented, which

DUBLIN, Nov. 5.-Mr. Redmond and

the small public houses of Ireland.
The Nationalist press has hailed II
as a great victory for the Irish party

a sufficient answer to those critics
who charged the leaders with supine-

The satisfaction is not, however.

In q resolution passed the other day
the board of management of the Bel
fast and Ulster Licensed Winners as
ISOLATION declared that Half of the
larger traders probably will be exter-
minated by the oppressive and in

The situation is summed up by the
organ Of the Sim Fein society, which,
always eager to discredit the acheve-
ments of the parliamentary party, as
serts that the chief effect of the con-
cession will be, on the one hand, to
keep alive and foster class of public

of both health and morals, is a danger
to the people and serious hindrance
to the temperance movement, and on
the other. gradually to squeeze out of

BARCELONA TORN
BY BLOODY STRIFE
STERN REPRESSION CAUSES
UPRISING
EXECUTION OF FERRER SPAIN'S
FATAL ERROR
BaffIed Police Resort to Revolving
Tortures to Extort Confessions
from Prisoners-Alfonso
Marked for Vengeance

BARCELONA, Nov. 6.-Offcial sever
ity has overleaped itself in Spain. By
the execution-many call 1t murder
OF Senior Ferrer, the democratic leader
in Barcelona, the Spanish government
has sown seeds calculated to produce
endless trouble not only in Catalonia,
but throughout the country. The fourth
stage of the conflict between the
progressives and reactionaries has
been entered upon. Some predict it
will close with a tragedy OF which
King Alfonso himself will be the
victim, popular though he is with his
subjects.
Long standing as the troubles of
Barcelona have been, the blood of
Senior Ferrer seems to have warmed
the spirit Of unrest into greater Vigor,
and where formerly only whispers of
discomfort were heard, today there is
constantly increasing growl of ager.
Richest and fairest of all Spanish
towns, Barcelona, is doomed to a con-
tinuance of disorders by which her fair
record is stained and her immense
range of Industrial enterprises Grip
pied. Writers have compared Cata-
lonia with Ireland. The comparison is
only superticially accurate. True, the
Catalonians have long agitated for
Separation, for Home Rule.
Between the Catalonian and the
Castillian exist mutual contempt and
dislike. But Catalonia is the richest
of all the Spanish provinces; it's sons
are hardworking, ambitious and enter
prising. Above all, they are endowed
with sound business instinct
The industry of Barcelona has we'll
earned for the city the title of the
Manchester of Spain" The Spaniard
who cannot afford the costly English
cloth invariably wears that made in
Catalonian factories. The population of
this beautiful city, with its magnificent

harbor, spacious streets and prone
made lined with modern buildings, ex-
ceeds by far the scant 100000 of
Madrid. Here are huge banking and
shipping Industries and the only auto
mobile factories In Spain.
The long and disastrous series of out
RACES perpetrated in Barcelona were, in
the first stage, unmistakably what may
be termed industrial outrages-the re-
bellion of labor against capital In
every case the destructive engines
used exploded in the houses or fac
tories of manufacturers.
Badly constructed, on the whole they
caused little harm, except to alarm en-
rloyers of labor.
First Resort to Violence
About 10 o'clock one summer morn
ing a tremendous explosion was heard
in the city and suburbs. 1t was caused
by the bursting of a tube of iron
filed with dynamite in the doorway of
a textile factory in the Rambla of
Saint Monica. The adjacent office and
warehouse were completely wrecked.
The merchant himself was miraculous
ly saved by the fact that few mo-
ments before he had left his office to
examine some samples of cotton. The
trees in the avenue outside were COW
cred with fragments of iron, and with
the remains of poor lad, who, passing
by at the moment of the catastrophe,
was literally blown to pieces. The
manufacturer lost his nerve and re-
tired from business. The assassin was
never discovered
Thus began series of criminal at
tempts which, in different ways and
with more evil refinement of cruelty,
have continued to the present moment.
All along the perpetrators have baf-
fed the police, and the execution of
Ferrer is the outcome of police frenzy
at their impotence. Constantly after
this occurrence the police discovered
dynamite cartridges in various places,
abandoned by persons
afraid of carrying such dangerous mer-
chandise.
To those interested in the study of
terrorism an episode of this time will
be interesting.
1t happened a few days after the
explosion in the Rambla of st. Monica.
A porter in the employ of the telegraph
was approaching the Arco
del Teatro when he was accosted by
an unknown person, who asked for
light. The porter passed over his
cigarette and the unknown at the same
skilfully slipped a small packet
with fuse attached into his pocket.
"Thanks," said the man, returning
the cigarette, and took his departure.
The porter went on his way but was
soon asked by a passerby, what have
you got in your pocket? There's some
thing on fire!" The porter saw the
object pulled it out and
threw it on the ground, where it inn
exploded fortunately without
doing much damage
The relations between employers
and workmen grew deeply embittered. |
The workers, through their Uniformed
associations. demanded increased pay
Los Angeles herald., 1909-11-07

until insensibility supervened
All this produced the inevitable con-
fessions, trustworthy or otherwise, and
as result not only were five sus-
poets put to death, but also Ascheri
himself, who was implicated by the
eXtorted statements.
Public outcry became vehement as d
result of these tortures, and Slgnor
Silvela, the greatest prime minister in
the peninsula of recent years took a
wise step when he ordered the liberia
tion of many of the suspects in Bar
celona, and thus pacified to some ex-
tent not only local but national feeling
Since then, during what may be
termed the third stage of the terrorism
in Barcelona, the reason and origin of
the subsequent outrages are wrapped
in deepest mystery. Bombs follow pc
tards, and petards bombs.
The terrorists exploded a bomb i'm
the doorway of the chief of police,
Trenols, but little later Lieutenant
Morales of the civil guard was tried

WESTERN FARMERS GROW
BEANS FOR B0ST0NlANS

SPOKANE, Wash, Nov. 6.-Four
million pounds of beans, for which the
growers will receive from to 31a cents
a pound, were produced on 1000 acres
of land on the Kendrick ridges in
Latah county, Idaho, this season. AS
a result of the success of the industry
buyers say that the coming year should
see a yield worth not less than $25O,OOO,
or double this years crop.
The average yield was 1000 pounds
to an acre, while the cost of produc-
tion was not more than $3.50 an acre
from land worth between $35 and $40
an acre.
Threshers have started to hull the
crop and the finished product will be
ready for the market in three weeks.
One hundred cars are required to haul
the beans, some of which will go as
far east as Boston and points on the
Atlantic seaboard, but the bulk will
remain in the northwest.
