ART GIRL.
Negro Who Robbed Hospital Here
Said to Answer Description
Of LeegsOn Slayer.

In the negro who gave his name az
John Henry, after he had shot at two
men and committed four robberies.
the Atlanta police Friday expressed
the belief that they have the man
who slew Ida Leegsor. an art stu
dent, in Chicago, and have solved a
mystery which has puzzled the police
Of that city since it was committed
October 4.

sssult OF a clever ruso 0z Miss EelliI
Abshire, a nurse whose room in the
Georgia Baptist Hospital dormitory
he had entered, tallies with the de-
scription Of the man hunted for the
murder Of Mrs. Leegson in the North
ern city. The negro admitted to Chief
Of Detectives Lanford that he was in
Chicago at the time the art student
was murdered. He also stated that
he had heard OF how she was mur-
dered, but declared that his knowl-
edge came only through reading
newspapers.
Mrs. Leegson's mutilated body was
found on lonely prairie in the out
skirts OF CHICAGO after she had left
her abode to answer a mysterious tel
ephone call for nurse. Persons later
declared they saw a copper colored
negro acting suspiciously in the vi
cinity Of where the young woman
was murdered. They stated that n
was tall and square Shouldered and
well dressed.
Answers Description.
In these particulars Henry tallies
with this description. The negro can
give no satisfactory explanation %
why he left Chicago. That he is a
desperate character was proven oy

ries. He is accused Of entering the

TO FINGER PRINT DRINKERS.

At the height of the summer drinking
season the recently announced plan OF
finger printing everyone found guilty Of
intoxication has been put into effect. The
court magistrate found yesterday upon the
first trial of the scheme that the police de-
partment did not have enough finger print
experts to GO around.
Notwithstanding this more than forty
"drunks'' were subjected to the new identi-
fcation process. The prints are to be filed
away in the police courts and by means of
them the magistrates hope to separate the
professional drinkers from the mere anna
teurs. A mission to the professional rank
ing carries with it term in the workhouse
on Blackwell's Island. A sufficient num-
Der of finger prints will further secure ad-
mission to the city's home for1nebriates
when it is built.
The finger print edict has caused conster
nation not only on the Bowery but on
Broadway where there is a serious discus
sion as to whether experts would be sent
to the hotel bars looking for finger
prints clues on glassware. Y. Ex.

foreign prison lies in the fact that most of
them have better cells than we have in the
United States and in many cases the cells
have individual windows. = However, as a
usual thing American prisons, think, are
better managed and the prisoner is as well
cared for.
"Capital punishment is done away with
in many prisons of the old world, though
in some parts of Germany they still behead
prisoners. Electrocution is practically un-
known except in very few institutions, and
thus far it is only an experiment.
Plans for the new penitentiary at Joliet
are under way at the present time and
Architect Zimmerman expects to have
them finished some time this fall

PROBLEMS OF
PRISON LABOR
A Proposition of Great Importance to
the Men in Prisons and Their De-
pendent Families.

Another advance in the battle being
waged throughout the length and breadth
of the country for division of the profits
OF prison labor with the prisoner, or his
family, was made lately when Senator
O'Gorman, of New York, introduced a
bill in the United States Senate to incorpo-
rate the National Committee on Prison
Labor, and the following were named for
the Committee by the bill: Thomas Mott
Osborne, R. Montgomery Schell, E. Stagg
Within, George w. Kirchney, B. A. Lar
ger, Samuel McCune Lindsay, Charles
Mcfarland, James Brown Reynolds, Char
les Edward Russell, Louis Livingston Sea-
man, John ]. Manning, John Mitchell,
William Fellows Morgan, Edward T. Per
inc and Francis Lyme Stetson.
:. This committee is appointed for the pur-
pose of studying the whole problem of
prison labor with view of securing uni
form legislation among the States of the
Union, to the end that all the prisoners
may be SO employed as to promote their
own welfare, and, at the same time, to re-
imburse the state for its expenses in main
tanning prisons, while also preventing un-
fair competition between prison made
goods and the products of free labor, and,
if possible, securing to the dependent fam
lilies of prisoners fair proportion of their
rightful earnings.
1t is move in the interest of Justice and
right, and it is hoped that his bill will be-
come law, and that the committee will
recommend the measure which will provide
for reasonable compensation for the work
of the inmates of all prisons.
To leave prison with some money, or
to provide in some degree while in confne-
ment for dependent family. means the
of many prisoners.
1t will moreover abate crime, and pre-
vent countless offenses against the Law,
either direct or indirect, occasioned by
present conditions.-Good Words.

In our isolated world, the management
kindly gives US access to the newspapers,
and we read about the squabbles of Europ-
can nations; the exploits of the militant
suffragettes; the assassination of monarchs;
the revolutions of the Latin republics; the
election of American presidents; the activi-
ties of reformers; the Panama canal; the
depredations of the trusts. These things
are given scare headings in the papers, and
are discussed as matters of importance. But
though we read them and talk them over,
they do not really engage our attention
deeply.
More genuine and lasting is our pre-occu-
patton with our own little affairs, about
which the outer world knows little, and cares
less. We canvass the merits and conduct of
the parole law, argue about combinations
and pardons, and calculate the time that
must elapse before we are free. The bill of
of fare for the day seems thing of impor-
tance; we speculate about new arrivals at the
penitentiary, about the comparative exped-
iency of indoor and outdoor work, about
the ball game last Saturday, about the patient
who was operated on yesterday. These are
interesting themes for the moment, but they
presently become stale; and if you can get
a glimpse of the sky on some clear night,
you will observe that the Pleiades and Orion
have not changed since the date of you incar-
ceration; even the sun rises and sets on its
ancient schedule; and Spring, Summer,
Autumn and Winter maintain still their
succession.
What is Important The prisoner who,
without hope or thought of return or rec
does kindness to another, makes
a sacrifice for him, speaks good word in
season for him.-such things may have an
effect that will last forever. The noise and
tumult of events is empty and transient; true
human sympathy and help in dark and heavy
make no noise and escape
observation even of the keenest newspaper
reporters; but they contain a principal of
life. They may shape and save
soul. They are as important as Orion and
he Pleiades.- Words.

REV. J. S. BuDLoEG TO REMAIN IN MINNEAPOLIS

After considering a very tempting offer
to temporarily leave the ministry and en-
gage in business, Rev. ]. S. Budlong, for
merly of this city but now rector of All
Saints church, Minneapolis, has decided to
remain in his present charge. During the
FIVE months of his rectorship the congrega-
tion of All Saints church has more than
doubled, and the present ediice is inad-
equate. The past week Rev. Mr.. Budlong
secured the lots on the northeast corner of
Park avenue and Thirty-frst street, having
raised the purchase price in four days, and
during the summer the church and parish
house will be removed from its present To-
cation at 2619 Clinton avenue, to the Park
avenue site. The church will be enlarged
and remodeled, and ready for the opening
service by the first of October. All Saints
church has bright prospects for the future,
and rector and people feel greatly encour-
aged. Mr.. Budlong's decision was most
satisfactory one to the members of his
parish. saltwater Gazette.

CRIMINALS IN HIGH PLACES.

Lend A Hand:-The crimes for which
the majority of us are in durance appear
small-fade into comparative insignihcance
beside the high class work being pulled off
by well organized gangs of grafters and
bunko artists in many of our large cities.
And to make it still worse they are operat-
ing under the protection and with the con-
nivance of the very men who are drawing
salary to protect the public against these
same crooks. Scarcely paper is issued
from the press but contains glaring ac-
counts of graft among public officials,
bribery, protection of crooks by police, or
! [defalcations by trusted public servants.
Great hue and cry is raised for few days,
grand jury Investigations are held, money
flows like water, and the thing is forgot
ten. Why? Very few high class crimi-
mails ever reach prison. The evidence is
quashed, witnesses are suborned or spirited
away; the courts are helpless.
No matter how conscientious the prose-
cutting attorney, or how honorable the
Judge, convictions cannot be secured with
out evidence, and evidence against a
wealthy man or an organized gang which
is always prepared with "fall'' money is
almost impossible to get. Sometimes they
get scapegoat, but the real criminal US
ually escapes.
However, the fact that they so frequently
evade justice is no proof that we were per-
secuted, or railroaded into prison. Had
we possessed sufficient funds, many of us
could have found kink or hole to crawl
through. Guilt or innocence is not all.
The evidence, be it perjured or honest,
has much weight on the outcome.
The man who honestly admits his guilt,
if he is guilty, takes his punishment like a
man, makes of it lesson, and strives with
all the power in him to drag his manhood
back to clean earth, is far higher in the
respect of his fellow men and his own self
respect than the man who can thwart JUS
tice through the use of money or political
influence.

Iunis has been announced by M. Phichon
minister for foreign affairs. In letter t.
the president of the foreign affairs com
mittee of the Chamber, he states that by
virtue of new penal code which will
shortly be promulgated in Tunisia no con.
demnation will take place except aftel
judgment, given in accordance with the
new code.
This means the suppression of 'fin-
Tenement administratif,' or arbitrary i'm
prisonment, which, up to the present, il
has been in the power of the Bey of Tunis
to inhict on any person without trial, and
which was made use of by M. Alapetite,
the French resident general, in the famous
case of the "Jeunes- Tunisiens" last year.
1t is to the credit of this official, as the
Temps, commenting on the reform, points
out, that he has seen the undesirability of
arbitrary punishments and has taken meas
ures to abolish the system entirely
The Temps, in commenting the reform
instituted in Tunisia asks if there is any
reason why it should not be extended to
Algeria, the sister province, having the
same people, the same customs and which
has been under the egis of France SO years
instead of only 81, as in the case of
Tunisia.
The only reason, it goes on to declare is,
that in Tunis the colonists have only a
consultative assembly and the government
has preserved sufficient independence to
carry out the great work of colonizing to-
gether with the no less important one of
civilizing the native, whereas in Algeria,
tirely in the hands of the colonists, have
charge of the budgets, and the government,
powerless to maintain the balance between
the interests of the natives and those of the
colonists, is but the tool of the greed and
passions of the latter. The Algerian in
stitutions, therefore, make Europeans the
enemy of all measures of progress which
would tend to free the natives.
The announcement of the reform in
Tunis, together with the Temps leading
article has given prominence to the views
of Lord Cromer on the advisability of ad-
ministrative reforms in Algeria set forth in
a recent issue of the Spectator.
The former representative of Great
Britain in Egypt, points to the obligation,
which France has incurred, of following up
her policy of civilizing the native popula-
tions by introducing series of reforms in
her North African possession.
The policy inaugurated by Marshal
Bugeaud, 70 years ago, says Lord Cromer,
the interests of the natives to
those of the colonists, has been regrettable
from many points of view. From that of
financial administration it has certainly |
nothing to recommend it, and reform
should be introduced in this department be-
:ore it is rendered imperative by native
pressure, which will certainly be expert
,nced directly any radical measure of po-
itical reform is introduced.
AS for political reform, Lord Cromer
ldvises caution, especially in the constitu-
ion of the higher administrative bodies.
IN the case of the local assemblies, liberal
eforms are advisable; their success, how
ver, would depend greatly on the attitude
# the French officials towards the natives,
IN attitude highly susceptible to influences
rom headquarters.

men that can be employed to ad

load into the big tram cars that are
automatically dumped into the rail

Hard Cash Mine
Starts to Work

Horace Miller came in from Den.
yer last of the week, accompanied
by George Wheeler, and they have
gone over to the hard cash mine
with instructions form TIE company
to commence work on the property
ut once and take out q car of ore
for trial shipment at the earliest
time possible. 1t will be remem-
bered that q strike of considerable
Importance was reported made last
year, but it occurred Just as they
We're shutting down for the winter,
and it is not known as yet how
much ore will be developed in this
new shutc.' 1t is represented to
have width of from two to three
feet and consists of copper, lead and
zinc sulphides that run up well in
silver values.
This property has development
tunnel driven for several hundred
feet in on well defined fissure vein
that cuts thru the mineral zones of
Galena and Treasury mountains.
Where this tunnel starts in on the
Hard Cash vein, the mountain is so
precipitous that it is impossible to
make the assent, and five huntlred
feet of driitingin on the vein will
reach depth of six or eight hum
dred feet. 4 thousand feet of tun-
neling will put the face of the drift
a thousand or more feet below the
top of the mountain, where the
apex o; the vein is found.
There is no proposition in the dis
trict which seems to offer greater
inducement or encouragement for
continued development than does
this property, as a comparative small
amount OF work will open up an
immense amount of overhead stop
ing ground for ore. Each foot of
tunnel driven on the vein will open
up hundreds OF tons of ore above
the drift which need only to be shot
down and put into the tunnel car
and trammed out to the ore bins at
the tunnel portal.

Silver in Sandstone
Special Correspondence,

Eagle, Colo, May 19th.-Lady
Belle prospect. the hole in the ground
where silver ore was opened two
moths ago that assays from 800
to 1000 ounces of silver per ton,
shipped its first carload of ore to Il
Leadville smelter on the tenth of
May. This property has been leased
and is being developed by an east
ern syndicate represented by Cap
tain John A. Haseell and r. II. .
Bonncll, mining engineers.
The silver is found in ordinary
Dakota sandstone and is so unusual
that it has astonished the mining
world. The. tunnel from which the
carload OF ore was taken, is not yet
twenty five feet in. This is the be-
ginning of regular mineral output
and marks the birth of Il new min
ing camp in Colorado. Captain
Hasscll believes that there is a lime
wall back and that the main ore
bodies will be found in bedded
masses similar to the famous Silver
King mine at Park City, Utah.
Prospectors are arriving in large
numbers since the SHOWS melted and
a small town has been started at the
foot of Horse mountain, called Elk
horn. A hotel is going up there.
News has been reported that ore
running Sl5O Il ton has been opened
