Babies are cheap in Philadelphia,
and it is not a difficult thing to come
in possession of a child without pay
ing for it. There are many baby
farms scattered throughout the city,
and the sensation connected with the
Hamilton child, who is undoubtedly
bogus, and was purchased for 16, re
veals how easy the scheme can be
effected in a large city. A well -in-
formed wife stated yesterday that it
is easy to get a foundling or a babe,
and no care is taken to see for what
purpose the child might be used.
The story of the Clazton baby, which
created such a sensation in this city
about two years ago, affords a notable
illustration of the passion in the'
breasts of some women to have a
ohild by hook or crook. Claxton was
employed as a waiter in Green's Ho
tel and his tittle girl was stolen from
her home. Detectives were engaged
to hunt up the missing child, and af
ter a long search recovered her from
the child-stealer, a colored woman
living in South Camden, who was af
terward sentenced to two years im
prisonment. While the detectives were on their
investigations in Camden they learn
ed of the arrival of a baby in the
house of a mulatto named Johnson,
who was employed as a porter in a
Front street wholesale provision
house, this oity. It was not the Claz
ton babe, but proved to be a case
where a father was Imposed upon by
the substitution of a "bogus baby."
The child had been smuggled into
Johnson's house by Mrs. Brown, a
friend of his wife, and had been se
cured from a colored family living in
West Philadelphia The woman ad
mitted, that she had smuggled the in
fant on her husband because he had
wanted a baby very bad.
The same detectives also stumbled
across a similar incident about one
year ago in the neighborhood of
Firth street and Snyder avenue. In
this case the woman's mother was a
confederate in the deception played
upon the husband, but the detectives
kept the secret to themselves, anii
the father is still ignorant that he is
masquerading aa the parent of a ' h
gus child..
TUe Rtmainloc Territories.
San Francisco Bulletin.
After the admission of the two Da-
kotas, Washington and Montana,
there will still remain five territories
that will be candidates f or admission.
Four of these have at some time for
mulated constitutions that have been
left to seasou. Two of these, Idaho
and Wyoming, are now engaged in.
either revamping constitutions or
making new ones. The third one,
New Mexico, is about to engage in
the same work. The question of the
admission of these five territories will
probably come before Congress at the
next session. The latest estimates of
population made by officers of these
several territories show the popula
tion to be as fotlows:
Arizona : 60,000
Idaho ..looouu
New Mexico ..4.160,000
fjtah ?.200,000
Wyoming 85,000
The figures here given especially
for New Mexico and Utah, will prob
ably bear trimming down. No terri
tory has a right to Statehood by vir
tue of population or other qualiflca
tions. There is no statute conferring
on a territory the right of admission.
There are, of course, numerous pre
cedents. But the Federal govern
ment exercises the so vereign right of
both admission and rejection.
MOKK PuKVkNll CUIiTlK.
Mneteen Oat or m Tboasand Convicts
- " . are Brrd mechanics.
PhUaddphia Inquirer.
"There are 1,000 men in the East
tro neniteatiarv: mnt.een of thm
are bred mechanio," 8id VVarden
(Jasbidy yesterday. The statement
is at onoe a revelation of the source
of crime, and, to a great degree, its
remedy. When the convicts are ad'
mitted to the institution they .all
give some occupation, as machinist,
mason, carpenter, but when it comes
down to the point of doing anything
it is found that xn'y, the percentage
represented by nineteen oat of 1,060
really have any trade at all. The
man who says he is a machinist it
may be found has worked in a ma
chine shop as a laborer, but actually
knows nothing about the craft.' So
with the rest.
''Mechanics do not belong to the
crime class as a general thing." That
was the next condensed bit of infor
mation from Warden Cassidy. "They
may,"'; he continued, "ge down,
beoome demoralized from ' various
causes, pawn their clothes, beoome
drunkards and go the house of cor
rection, but few of them ever get in
to the Eastern penitentiary. Few of
them ever enter crime life, and when
they do commit crimes they are al
most invariably crimes against per
son, not against property."
"One of the greatest mistakes that
ever was made," continued the war
den, "was in beginning the punish
ment of men with hard labor. Labor
has done everything that is glorious.
Hard labor is what has accomplished
everything. . It has made the State:
It is,' therefore, absurd to sentence a
man to hard labor, as though hard
labor were a punishment for crime.
In most cases it was the very want of
labor that produced '-jthe crime for
.which the criminal was . sentenced to
imprisonment at hardMabor. Labor
ought Dot to be applied' as a punish
ment. Ii ougbt to be regarded ssan
essential means for reformation.
"We (should expect great results
from industrial training school aa
preventives of crime. Get the boys
into the habit of working, of doing
something wttb their hinds, produc
ing something that is valuable, beau
tit ul, and commands admiration and
envy ot their skill, inat is tne se
cret of curing a great deal of crime.
Every criminal, of course, needs an
individual treatment just as any pa
tient at the hands of his doctors. If
punishment is to be added to incar
ceration then the question is what
kind of punishment, and that ques
tion is preceded by anqther, vi,.:
what produces the crime? Punish
ment to be effective mnst be adapted
to the cause. We train the convicts
to ehoemaking and other things here.
There are 250 working on shoes
now." ,
RAMIE,

"How far can a man see V was the
-not extremely definite inquiry made
by a reporter of a physician who is
something of a specialist in matters
pertaining to the eye
-1 o the stars," was the equally in
definite answer.
The line of inquiry in regard to the
scope of vision was suggested by the
fact that no two persons will agree
as to theliniitations of human vision;
of half a dozen persons on a tower no
two will agree. One will claim that
the limit is ten miles and others will
insist that they can see sixty miles. -
The physician appealed to said
forty miles would probably be the
limit from the standpoint of a tower
like that of the Wilder Building at
Rochester to a person with normal
That would be the line of the
horizon. A long-sighted person could'
see no further, but could see objects
on the horizon plainer A near
sighted person would, of course, be
correspondingly limited.
Another gentleman ,who was pre
sent said that be had stood on the
heights ten miles north of Rowmans
ville, Canada, on a clear day, and dis
tinguished the outlines of the south
' shore of Lake Ontario, and at night
from the same position had seen the
revolving lights at Oak Orchard. The
heights referred to are 400 feet above
the level of the water of the lake.
The use of the telescope had veri
fied the fact that the shore outline
bad been seen with the naked eye.
The same gentleman said that he bad
found that on the ocean the hull of a
vessel disappeared at a distance of
. about ten miles, if the observer stood
on the deck of another vessel, and the
masts disappeared at about thirty to
thirty-five miles.
FacteulDB Slaves to Kill.
London Telegraph.
Fattening slaves in a park and
feeding them up like animals destined
for the table and then leading them
to a shambles where they are slaugh
tered like oxen, cut into pieces, and
shared bit by bit among hungry can
nibals such is the practice" which is
permitted, according to M. Fondese,
a French explorer, in some of the
French, Belgian, Portuguese, and
"even British territories in Dbanghi.
M. Fondese was sent out three years
ago by the French Government to
discover the sources of the Niariguil-lon,-and
having returned after the
successful accomplishment of his
task, he hastens to tell his country-

which he has seen in his travels.
The "fattening parks" or paddocks
are, he says, to be seen in each vil

who nave Deen lanen in war, iuo

actually refused it. They eat, drink,

"' - Tbs Diamond Trust.
-' - Nw Tort World.
The diamond trust seems to be an
established fact. It has its head
quarters in London with a special
branch office in Paris, and has among
its strongest backers the Rothschilds,
who are largely interested in the dia
mond mines of South Africa. The
first step toward this trust was the
consolidation of all the 1 principal
African diamond mines, which was
accomplished early this year, after
the various syndicates had been ne
gotiating since 1886. The grand con
solidation is now : an accomplished
fact and production will be restricted
at the direction of the syndicate. The
general manager of all these diamond
mines of South Africa, managed and
controlled by French and English
capital, singular to say, is an Ameri
can, and a Californlan at that, Gard
ner F. Williams, who was educated
at Freibursr. and at different times
was superintendent of mining pro
perties in California. His appoint
ment as manager of the diamond
mines was a surprise to himself and
friends. A salarv of $25,000 per annum
and expenses was certainly not to be
sneezed at, but promptly accepted.

the court of the Rothschilds andCali
fornians stick to each other like kit

Swlti Hotels.
London Globe.
At a time when so many people
are travelling in Switzerland, the
following statistics, published by the
Journal des Debate, with regard to
the hotel industry io that country,
will be read with interest. Accord
ing to these. statistics there are about
,1,000 hotels in Switzerland, making
up 58,000 beds, and giving employ
ment lo 16,000 servants. The an
nual receipts of these hotels amount
to 1,680,000, nearly equal to the
whole budget of the Swiss confed
eration, and as the expenses do not
exceed 1,152,000, there would ap
pear to be a net profit of 528,000,
or 33 per cent, on the capital in
vested. The following figures will
give some idea of the money which
tourists leave in the country, as the
hotels spent last year over 720,000
upon food and drink produced in the
country; besides liv,vw tor wine,
$70,000 for poultry, 40,000 for fish,
32,000 for vegetables, 16,000 for
sugar, 8,000 for tea and 6,500 for
oil, imported chiefly from France and
Italy. .; . - m ' .. '

Dr. C. F. Panknin, a well known
chemist of Charleston, is perfecting
an inventiou for utilizing the bark of
the ramie plant as a complete substi
tute for coiton, and a great revolu
tion iu the cotton industry is thus
promised. Dr. Paokoin has plao-d
on exhibition here a large roll of ra
mie which has been prepared and
treated by his process. By looking
at the roll it is easy to conclude that
the method is perfect.
The produce is devoid of gum and
particles of the bark. Each filament
w distinct and as gloesy and transpa
rent as strand of silk. The roll has
been bleached, but not carded or
combed, When this last process has
been applied which any one can do
with his fingers it will appear even
more advantageously.
Dr. Panknin says that be is now
perfecting a machine by which he
can produce the stuff on a commer
cial scale. With the machine he noes
now be has prepared a quantity of
the article similar to that on exhibi
tion. The stalks of ramie' are first
split longitudinally in hair, or as
nearly that proportion as postible.
These Blips are then passed through
an apparatus similar to a fluting
machine, which breaks the weed into
small pieces that are easily detached
from the bark, which is left in long
ribbons. The secret lies in extract
ing the gum absolutely from this .
ribbon, removing at the same time all
the fioer particles of bark. ThiB
done the decollation is complete.
It is learned that the cost of prep
aration by the chemical process will
cot exceed that for the preparation
for maiket of equivalent amounts of
long cotton. .
Dr. Panknin is now in communi
cation with business, men in New
York who are interested in the dis

Over in the Mikado's empire kiss

Although the young Japanese maid

their dainty little mouths-are as fors
bidden fruit to their sighing swains,
who must oonteut themselves with
more formal manifestations of their

courts his mistress with "sweetest

her baby as she hugs it to her bosom.
Parting husband presses the hand of

knows. But in Japan the expression
of regard is regulated by the number

above yesterday's closings, and by noon
the mtrket gradually climbed up another
ic, or to 794c for December anil 88i83Jc

vance, for' the news that came over the

higher range of prices was inevitable, and
the local scalping crowd were not long in

Ins Trial of Sirs. Hamilton for
uutilns btr Chila aane.
By Telegraph to the Horning Star.
Mat's Lasdino, N. J.. Sept 18 The
court room was crowded this mOrning with
people anxious to hear the proceedings in
the case of Mrs. Roberts Ray Hamilton,
indicted for an atrocious assault upon her
child's nurse, Mary Donnelly, and to get a
glimpse of the now famous principals io
the affair. A few unimportant cases were
heard, and at about 11 o'clock the case of
Mrs. Hamilton was called. At about
the- same time the outer doors
were swung open and Mrs. Hamil
ton, the mueu talked of prisoner entered,
leauir g on tte arm of Capt. Perry, her
couneei. Immediately following them en
tered Mrs hupp, proprietress 01 Noll Col
leee, and Mary Ann Donneiiy, the wound
ed nurse. Tbey were allehown seats with
in the rail, Mrs. Hamilton sitting beside her
counsel. She looked pale and . wan, and
her face showed evidence of the strain of
her ciose confinement Air. Ho ber t
Ray . Hamilton, a few minutes later
entered tie ccurt room and took a
scat besidu Mr a. Rupp. He did not look
towards bis wife. The work of selecting a
jury was quickly disposed of, the full quota
being selected in a comparatively short
time. Mrs. Hamilton irequenuy sopoea
aloud during the selection of the Jury, and
gave every evidence of hopeless despon-
Mrs. Hamilton indulged a good deal in
tears during the hearing. Her husband,
Robert Ray Hamilton, paid no attenuon to
her, but kept his seat some distance from
her. Hamilton testified that there had been
many quarrels between Mrs. Hamilton and
the nurse Donnelly, aud. between himself
and Mrs. Hamilton. In most of these
quarrels, he (Hamilton) was the greatest
sufferer, because when it was his wife and
the EUr'fe that quarrelled, he intervened to
keep the peace and bis clothing suffered
from both women, and when his wifequar
re let with him his clothing again suffered.
Diiok waa at the bottom of many of these
quarrels. On the morning nurse Donnelly
was stabbed, the nurse waa very aggressive
and after being ejected from the room, had
rushed back and attacked Mrs. Hamilton.
Hamilton, aa usual, interfered, and Mrs.
Hamilton seize 1 a knife belonging to him,
which was lying on the bed. and struck
around Hamilton's body. The testimony
of both tbe nur.e and Mrs. Hamilton cor.
roborated this, although each abused the
n'.hfr.
UnJer cross-examination some details of
Mrs. Hamilton's life were brought out,
which agree with the published accounts
.of her character. Her counsel's objections
to this line of questioning were all over
ruled. When asked if the child was born
in Pennsylvania witness refused to an
swer, and appealed to the protection of beX.
counsel, who entered objection, but was
overruled, and the question was only with
drawn when Mrs. Hamilton stated to the
court that to answer would be incriminating
to her. Again did she look appeal
ingly up to the court when prosecutor
Thompson asked: "Are you tbe mother 01
that child?" This question was with
drawn under the same ruling, but the in
cident clearly made an Impression upon
tbe Jury. ,- - -. -
While Mrs Hamilton was giving her tes
timony her husband sat and stared at her
most of the time. Hamilton testified to
the generally wretched stats of affairs be
tween himself and his wife, but his testi
mony as to the fracas in which the cutting
was done was distinctly favorable to bis
wife. . .. . .

There now seems to he no doubt but the '
State has been robbed of bonds amounting
to $278,400, and tbe interest paid on ttem,
amounting to $30,000 more, making in all
$348,400
Marshall Stoddard, , who was Treasurer
Burke's cashier up to July, 1888, stated
that in 1886 some of the coupons of these
bonds were presented for payment; that he
refused to pay them, and called Major
Burke's attention to tbe matter and beard "
nothing further about ' it. Major E. A.
Burke, who was trcasuter for eight years
preceding the present administration, has
been in London several months. A friend
cabled him yesterday regarding the pay- -ment
of coupone, saying that about $70,000
