DEATH PENALTY IN CHINA

A letter from Pekin says that the
first guillotine has arrived from
France, where it was ordered from
the man who makes guillotines used
by M. Deibler, the official French ex-
ecutioner. 1t is to be set up in the
new prison, for under recent decree
executions in China are no longer to
be public.
Penalty of death as laid down in
the old code had six degrees:
Death by torture.
Immediate decapitation and exhibit
tion of the head.
Immediate decapitation without ex-
hibition of the head.
Decapitation after several months.
Immediate hanging.
Hanging after several months.
According to the new code the
death penalty is in four degrees:
Immediate decapitation.
Deferred decapitation.
Immediate hanging, and
Deferred hanging.
The advantage to the condemned
person of deferred execution con
sists in the fact that every year the
list of those under sentence of death
Is submitted to the emperor, and un
der the names of those who are to be
4. mi
others escape for that year, but mus
take their chances the next year ant
every successive year, when the
same formality is gone through OF
the part Of the sovereign.-New Yorl

City - Attempt to Run Frsiahts
Through Yards Without Stopping
Proves Dismal Failure.
South Bend. Ind, July a6. - AS q
climax to a night and day Of rioting
IN the yards OF the Grand Trunk rail-
way, In which freight train Of 30
cars was cut into 10 sections, Pinker-
ton detectives stoned and five pas
sengerl trains stalled for hours, an at.
tempt was made to derail eastbound
passenger train No. 8, known an the
Detroit and New York express. The
engineer by chance saw the thrown
switch in time to bring his train to
stop and prevent a terrible catas-
trophe. When he left the engine to
investigate he was stoned by the
mob, in which were many foreigners,
but the timely appearance of the po-
lice prevented him from being seri.
ously hurt.
Shortly after the attempt to derail
the train was made Jay Freel, a car
repairer in the employ Of the road,
was shot and seriously wounded by
John Peck, q Plnkerton detective,
who with two companions, Eldridge
Graham and William Reynolds, all of
Battle Creek, Mich, were arrested
and are now being held by the police
pending the outcome of Freel's
wound, which is in the back, close to
the spine. Freel is in the hospital.
During the afternoon a mob which
eongregated at divers, the first sta
ton of the Grand Trunk within the
limits Of South Bend, burned several
cabooses, bit efforts to fire freight
cars were made fruitless by the
arrival Of detectives and the fire de-
partment.
The rioting began when freight
train OF 30 cars entered the city un
der full speed. evidently with the In
tention of rushing through South
Bend without a stop. Shortly aftel
passing the station 1t was discovered
that the caboose had been lost and
stop was made to pick up the miss
ing car. Almost Immediately gans
of men ran between the cars, re
leased the air plugs and cut the all
hose, thus making It impossible tc
move the train. At the same time
the Pinkerton detectives who showed
themselves were stoned. Realizinl
that the situation was desperate

is TOO BEAUTIFUL
Girl Cannot Keep Position Because
She Is Good Looking

washington Cor. Chicago Inter.
OCEAN,
The story of a girl who has lost
four positions within a year just be-
cause of her beauty is now spreading
about the city. Mary Todd, too good
looking to be allowed to work by her
employers, has therefore left Wash
ington and will try her fortune else
where.
Miss Todd 10 years old, decided
that to be a stenographer is as fruit
less and thankless as being shop
girl and milliner. AS a stenographer
her employer got mixed up in his die
tation and included phrases that
could not have been part of the cor
respondence she was taking down for
him. AS a shop girl the floor walk
ers strolled too often near her coun-
ter. AS milliner she aroused the
envy and jealousy of customers.
Miss Todd has been living in
Georgetown for little more than a
year. She came here from a small
Pennsylvania town, well equipped to
work, with money enough to wait un-
til reasonably good position was op-
en- to her, and a thorough if simple
education.
YES" she said today, half angrily
and half amused, 81 have been over

offers do not appeal to me. Most men

the same fate, merely because they
are more beautiful than their col
leagues.

CHILDREN PAWNED FOR GIN

Uondon Cor. New York SUM
In the Yoruba country, West Africa,
when a thirsty native finds he hasn't
the price of drink of gin he picks
up one of his pickaninnies, takes it to
the nearest bush saloon and pawns it
for the drink. This custom was dis
closed when Sir George White, in the
House of Commons, asked If 1t wasn't
a fact that thousands of children are
pawned by their parents for gin and
kept In condition of domestic slav-
cry"
The Under Secretary of the Colon
ial Office replied that the custom was
widespread and quoted the following
extract from a report by a committee
composed of educated natives on the
laws and customs of the Yoruba coun-
try.
"When a lender advances money
to borrower he asks the latter to
provide an acceptable surety, who is
responsible in default of payment by
the borrower. The borrower is drawn
into service for the lender one day
In the week, the service representing
interest for the money advanced. He
lives in his own house.
"But if child is provided as a
substitute he is to live with and work
for the lender as his child, the con
sideration for the loan being that the
borrower is deprived of and the len
der enjoys the services of the borrow
er's child, but by this arrangement
the child does not become the slave
of the lender.
"The child does not forfeit his
rights and privileges as free born
He can behave to the lender precise
ly in the same way as to his own faith
er; indeed, he enjoys more freedom
with the former, for he can at an!
time refuse to live with him. On tn,
other hand, the lender is responsible,
to the public authorities for injur.
to the health of the child and for hi
death"
