A BIG MEDICAL ONSLAUGHT ON HIM
tUT CABLE TO THS DISPATCH.
Zjostdos, Sept. 19. Copyrighted. A
fortnight ago the Tbna opened its columns
to discussion by means of letters of the
threadbare subject of the utility of hanging,
as a deterrent of murder. Learned lawyers,
eminent publicists and noble lords have
Joined in the controversy, but the only
letter which has attracted general attention
appeared in yesterday's Times over the
signature "A Country Doctor." The
writer was at one time resident surgeon at
the London Hospital, and he had the privi
lege of talking on the subjects of flogging
and hanging with a "notorious and chronio
criminal," who lay dying of cancer.
The doctor recorded the conversation in
his diary, from which he has now given to
the world some extracts. These show that
this particular criminal had a very great
horror of the lash and the gallows, and had
no doubt that the distaste was shared by all
men of his class. "There's only one mis
take you make," he added, "you ought to
flog just as a man is leaving prison. If he
could show his friends his raw back it would
be to all a sermon."
HOWL AGAINST AMERICA.
The lucubrations of this Interesting
scoundrel, which are published simultane
ously with the appearance of the annual re
ports of the British Prison Board, showing a
remarkable decrease of serious crime in this
favored country, have moved the St. Jamct
Oazettt to indulge in one of its periodical
and characteristic howls about the inef
ficiency of American legal systems.
The Oaiette quotes in big type "the truly
shocking statistics of homicide which can
now be placed side by side with the extrav
agances of American leniency toward
crime," nnd arrives editorially at the con
clusion that all the trouble is due to "the
peculiar tendency of the American nature
to set comparatively light store by human
life: to regard homicide in a large and in
deed quite unreasonable proportion of cases
as a mishap rather than a crime,and in conse
quence to view its perpetration, except in
certain special instances,as men npon-whom
any new-fangled experiment of the criminal
reforming faddist may just as well be tried
as not."
THE SIiAVEUT of dbdtk.
In the columns of the two most widely
read newspapers in London there is at
present raging a controvery on the subject
of the drinking of alcoholic liqu-jrs. It
began with the Telegraph, which invariably
inaugurates the silly Eeason with some topio
for public discussion and which, for the last
two weeks, has been devoting two or three
columns per day to correspondence under
the heading, "The Slavery of Drink," pre
senting the usual drivel and cant of would
be reformers, total abstainers and Pro
hibitionists. This week, however, the Times has be;un
a new phase of the discussion, which has
been participated in by many eminent
medical and scientific men. It is started by
Dr. W. Mortimer Glanville, the great alien
ist of Hanover square, who, apropos of Sir
"Wilfred Lawson's quotation from Lord
Athoris, "the cause of drunkenness is
drinking," comes boldly to the front with
the assertion that "drunkenness is in -no
other sene the consequence of drinking
than the destruction of a house by fire is the
consequence of having a cooking range on
the premises."
A M.EA FOB DKIXK.
He goes on to say: "It is not to engage
in the puerile play "of words with Sir Wil
fred Lawson and the advocates of what I
believe to be one of the weakest and most
mischievous crazes of the nineteenth cen
tury, I mean teetotalism, that I ask you to
five me space in your columns; but because
think the time has arrived when it is de
sirable that some one who has strong views
on the subject of what it is the fashion of
the day to denounce as "drinking" should
speae out honestly.
"I have never shared the opinions of the
many in my profession on the drink ques
tion, and I have not intentionally veiled my
Tiew of the issue so repeatedly raised and so
hotly discussed, but the moment appears
opportune for plain speaking, and I trust
this may be permitted not only to those who
seek to convince the public mind that al
cohol in all its forms is needless to the
healthy and of only questionable value to
the sick, but to those who hold that it is far
better that the healthy should be moderate
drinkers and abstainers, and I will go
further and say in the prevention of disease,
should be clearly recognized. '
Further than this, Dr. Glanville says that
he honestly believes that the propagation of
teetotal doctrines is exercising a destructive
influence on the moral, mental and physical
ueaitn 01 me people.
AK ANn-H'KIKLEY LEAGUE
To Be Organized In Great Britain for Pro
tecting; Home Industries,
tnr cable to Tins DisrATcn.
Loxdon, Sept. 19. The latest scheme for
checkmating the evil designs of Major 31c
Kinlcy and other conspirators against Eng
land's commercial welfare is explained as
follows by its promoters:
We propose to form a British Imperial
Tatriotic League, Its objects to be the en
couragement or British industries, the pro
tection or British labor and Generally to
assit in the maintenance and development
or British trade and commerce in every
quarter or the globe. We intend to impress
upon the British public, by means of lec
tures, demonstrations, distribution of liter
ature and various other metnods, the neces
sity or consuming, as far as possible, the
products or British industry in prererence
to tho goods ol foreign origin, and to make
the signing or a pledge to that effect the
tine qua non of membership of the league.
It should be added that there is no cause
yet for Americans to get excited about the
British Imperial Patriotic League. It
promoters are a few Tory workingmen, and
it is still in the throes of parturition.
A Methodist Event Postponed.

London, Sept, 19. The formal reopen
ing of Wesley's Chapel in City Road has
been postponed until November, owing to
the absence of the President of the Confer
ence and gther leading ministers in Amer

10 days or more, and many leading Ameri

London, Sept 19. The Theosophist
controversy, which Madame Annie Besant's
conversion and her letters from the
Mathams of Thibet have brought promi
nently before the British public, has been
augmented this week by a contribution
from Gladstone. A Mr. Booth, who
founded a workmen'sdebatingclub.in which
religious discussions are prohibited, wrote
to Gladstone to ask him whether he con
sidered theosophy to come under the head
of religion, and if not is there anything in
it worth a workingman's study. To this
Gladstone replied:
In my answer to your Interesting letter, I
must be very succinct. I think I am also
impartial, as I do not adopt the language of
determined disbelier in all manifestations
real or supposed from the other world,
which is the habit of many. They give me
little satisfaction, but that does not warrant
meeting them with a black negative. lean

so called than spiritualism) or Theosophv

the matter, deal with the facts and phenom

"Whether or not this pronnnciamento Is

the Theosophists to draw Gladstone into the
discussion does not yet appear.
IK IT1TANCIAL STBAITS.

mr CABLE TO THE DISPATCH."
London, Sept 19. The Society for pre
venting the immigration of destitute aliens,
which was established a few months ago,
with a promise of much popular support, is
in financial straits, and to all appearances
will not live long. The scaraabout the en
ormous influx of foreign paupers has been
shown to be largely artificial, and, although
there is plenty of sympathy with the ob
jects of the society, it has not taken practi
cal shape.
Nevertheless there are sufficient funds in
hand to defray the expenses of a projected
seriesjjf meetings in the chief provincial
towns tbe coming winter, after which the
societyswill probably die.

that all necessary arrangements might be
made without delay.
The weapons chosen were swords, and a
dining room was chosen as the place of
meeting.
The word was civen and the two gentle
men set to and fought with desperation and
earnestness. General Gaudolfl was soon
slightly wounded, but his injury was not
sufficient to put an end to the fight Fi
nally Signor Franchetti made. a sudden rush
at his adversary, and was only stopped from
inflicting a possibly fatal wound by the fact
that in attempting to parry the thrust the
General's sword struck him on the forehead
and made a scalp wound. Blood flowed
freely and soon streamed over his face so
that the services of physicians had to be
called in. They examined the cut and de
clared the wound was of such a nature as to
prevent any further fighting.

Tariff Lair.
CBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, Sept 19. Politicians are be
ginning to return from their holidays on the
Continent in order to prepare for the ora
torical campaign, which in some parts of
the country will commence next week. It
is already evident that there will be be
tween now and Christmas more speech
making than in any Parliamentary recess
since that which preceded the famous gen
eral election in 1880 in which Gladstone
routed the Tories and returned to "West
minster a triumphant Liberal majority.
This time Gladstone will be unable to
take a prominent part in the struggle, and
Sir Andrew Clarke, his medical adviser and
friend, has consented only with the great
est reluctance to the Grand Old Man's at
tendance at the annual meeting of the Na
tional Liberal Federation, which will open
at Newcastle on September 30. Mr. Glad
stone, however, will not arrive at New
castle until Friday, October 2, and he has
promised to confine his speech that evening
to a period of one hour.
It must be "recorded here that politicians
with sporting proclivities are already lay
ing odds that the Grand Old Man's speech
will last more than the allotted hour, and
some have sufficient faith in his irrepress
ible enthusiasm and physical vigor to bet
that he will make the average number of
railroad station speeches on his way to and
from1 Newcastle. Unexpected encourage
ment has been given to these irreverent
speculators bv the announcement that Mrs.
Gladstone will not accompany her husband
from Scotland to Newcastle, having prom
ised to preside in the latterplace on Thurs
day at the meeting of the "Woman's Liberal
Federation.
Among other Liberal leaders who are to
speak at Newcastle are John Morlev and
Sir "William Harcourt, both of whom'have
a very full programme forihe recess. It is
6tated, by the way, that Mr. Gladstone has
been closely following the reports in the
British and American newspapers resDect
ing the effects of the McKlnley tariff on
trade. If this statement be well founded,
the result of Mr. Gladstone's observations
will probably be embodied, in the speech
he is to deliver in the Town Hall at New
castle in acknowledgment of the conferment
upon him of the freedom of that city.

bAZJSBTTBY IS WARY.
He Is Not Inclined to Benefit Russia by
Going to War "With China.
fBT CABLE TO THE DISPATCH.
London, Sept 19. The few newspaper
men here who have any means of knowing
things which, pass behind the scenes at the
Foreign Office state that the "permanent
officers of the department, who exercise
great influence over the actual minister, are
of the opinion that the anti-foreign agita
tion in China has been considerably exag
gerated by interested senders of cablegrams
to the London press, and that the Chinese
Government is doing its best in very diffi
cult circumstances. Lord Salisbury, it is
known, is not disposed to take any steps
which might have to be supported by acts
leading to war, from which Russia would be
the chief gainer.
A big Busso-Chinese war is only a ques
tion of time, and France is watching for a
chance of making important frontier "recti
fiications" at the expense of China, without
paying too great a price for them in blood
and money. It is pretty certain, therefore,
that any naval demonstration by the Euro
pean powers will be of a harmless spectacular
character, which will not seriously alarm
the young Chinese Emperor and his astute
advisers.
TOO MITCH CHINAMAS.
Row in a Church Over Tellow Sunday
School Fnplls and Their Instructors.
NewYoek, Sept 19. SpteidU There
is a big split in the Trinity Baptist Church
over the Chinese question. The sessions
of the Chinese school of Trinity Church are
held in the basement every Sunday. Each
class consists of one Chinaman, with an
American girl to teach him. Now there is
a faction which wants the class disbanded
entirely and which includes the older mem
bers of the church, who think they see an
evil in the church, which did not exist
before the Chinese came.
They don't think it exactly tho proper'
thing for the young ladies to be run to pic
nics and excursions with their yellow
pupils, and some have come to the con
clusion that it is not religion
that the Chinamen come to the
church after but two or three hours in the
company of the pretty teachers. Now
rumors are flying around to the effect that
one of the teachers is engaged to be married
to her pupil, and that one other is seriously
contemplating an engagement

THE SCAFFOLD WHICH IS PLATED OUJ
"
A human skull, the property of Colonel
D. Moore, but at present grinning in Attor
ney John Marron's office, is supposed by
some people to be that of Ortwein, the mur
derer of the Hamnett family, of Homestead.
It is not, however, but is that of some un
fortunate who hadn't influence sufficient in
life to save his remains from the dissecting
knife. But the presence of that skull has
suggested to some people the advisability
of a collection of skulls and embalmed
bodies of murderers to be placed in a "cham
ber of horrors" in the county jail, and in
full view of "Murderers' Bow." It is be
lieved that its inspection would be more
deterrent that the exhibition of a scaffold,
which, since "hanging's played out" in Al
legheny county, has been shorn of its ter
rors to a great extent
To illustrate the hardness of the way of
the transgressor quite a number of memen
toes might be placed on 'exhibition. The
body of Martha Grinder was as hard as ada
mant when buried, and in tho interests of
reform Messrs. Devore and Calhoun might
be induced to exhume it It isn't beyond
finding, like the b&dy of Moses. Then, the
body of Green, the fratricide, if put into
the chamber might have a wholesome effect
on the colored population. Ortwein's skull
is somewhere in Sewickley.
proposed school of CBANIOSCOPX".
Mr. Marron states that when Marshall
Swartzwelder's effects were sold the skull
of the Homestead monster was knocked
down to some Sewickleyan for a trifle, and
it doubtless could be recovered for a small
sum, and in the interest of eeience the
owner might donate it But reformatories
seldom reform, and as the aroma
of the penitentiary is usually
so strong about a criminal as to prevent his
having company in the straight and narrow
path, and, as Solomon's admonition to
train up a child in the way he should go and
when he is old he will not depart from It,"
seems to have no potency in modern life, it
is numerously suggested that future efforts
along the line of morality should be in the
nature of prevention rather than cure. It is
therefore recommended that schools of
cranioscopy be established in every county
to teach all who have the handling of in
fants how to do it, and it is claimed such
schools might effect more than all the moral
training contained in all the moral treatises
on moral and mental science combined. It is
proverbial that preachers' families have con
tributed the most accomplished toughs and
swindlersof modern times, and yet the sup
position is that they ore trained up in the
way they should go, though some suppose
that the excess of training usually produces
a revulsion.
But in all seriousness the idea is
advanced that a careful study ol cranioscopy
might in course of a few generations elim
inate savagery from the human race after
the counteracting effeot of atavism is over
come. A PLAN TO ABOLISH PENITENTIABIES.

complishment that doubtless would he
effective, but its execution is surrounded by
difficulties, philoprogenitiveness,the love of
filthy lucre and that of the sexes for each
other standing in tho way. ,"While the doc
tor's plan would he effective' beyond a
doubt, and would in course of a century ob
viate the necessity of penitentiaries, alms
houses and insane asylums if effectively put
into operation, it is extremely doubtful
whether modern degeneracy possesses the
Spartan fortitude necessary to continue in
well doing on the line he draws.
But phrenology or craniology has at last
conquered a place for itself and has been
recognized as a science, and instead of rest
ing, as most phrenologists do, on the hope
of developing certain tendencies and re
pressing others by cultivation of the moral
organs, why not develop the good by hand
ana repress the bad by the same means?
The Caribs of the "West Indies had no crani
oscopic school that we know of, yet these
anthropophagi formed the character of their
offspring by developing their skulls in the
"way in which they should go" that is,
the way the parents wished them to go. It
is probable they developed the animal and
depressed the moral sentiments, and it
is certain they were more successful in their
enterprise than was the author of "The
Theory of the Moral Sentiments," who
sought to establish his views by argument.
The young Carib took to war and cannibal
ism as naturally as a young duck does to
water. A young Carib's brain while in the
plastic state, and when the skull could be
luucukcu ab icdauici naa .oau.vuvt. niv.-
ing to certain tribal regulations and the
consequence was that all adolescent Caribs
were animated by the same desires and
passions and there was homogeneity, if not
individualism, and a multitude of souls
with but a single thought insured tribal
peace, if not progression.
MADE CBIMTNAL BT AN ACCIDENT.
If it be true that "the worst use you can
put a man to is to hang him?" why not
fashion his brain so that hangingwill be
unnecessary, and make the Fitzsimmonses,
id omme genus, good citi2en3 and not mur
derers? It was contended by Moore and
Swartzwelder that Ortwein's moral ob
liquity was caused by the kick of a horse in
his youthful days, and Mr. Marron states
that a crescent-shaped fracture was distinctly
traceable on his skull, possibly developing
more than one evil propensity, as Mr.
Marron still holds to the belief that the
murder of the entire Hamnett family and
the burning of their residence was for the
purpose of hiding a more atrocious crime.
As soon as the shape of a babe's head is
determined a skillful phrenologist should
be called in and he should locate the bumps
which need cultivation and those needing
repression. A cast Bhould then be taken
of the shape of head wanted. If veneration
were needing enlargement and combative
ness elimination, eta, the requirements
should be noted in the cast and when a
shape was gotten that would insure perfect
mental and moral developement, unyield
ing headgear should be made with the
necessary indentations and depressions
and the child's head fitted into it and
kent there until it had taken on the
shape for proper developement Thus
the propensities could be made an
tagonize each other until a harmonious
whole were formed. Courage would be
tempered by caution, parental love by firm
ness and undue veneration by large reason
ing power. You see all these attributes are
in the skulls of all infants, even those of
idiots, and a balanced mind is one where no
one has undue preponderance.

A Confidential Clerk Has Been Embezzling
the Greater Part or the Time.
Louisville, Sept 19. A 525,000 em
bezzlement which occurred during the 13
years ending last December is published to
day for the first time. Charles Miller was
the trusted clerk ofC. T. Dealing, a lead
ing book dealer, for nearly 20 years. Last
July Dealing sold out his business to the
Baptist Book Concern, then just organized.
Dealing took $10,000 of stock in 'the Book
Concern and remained as manager. Miller
bought S3.000 worth of the stock, and with
nearly all the other clerks remained under
the new management
In a Bhort time President Harvey sus
pected thieving was going on, and in Decem
ber set a trap. Miller was caught clearly
and confessed. He had taken in the 13 years
preceeding $25,000 of his employer's money.
He was a careful, steady man, with a wife
and two children, connected with some of
the best families in the city. He dressed
plainly, never was known to drink or spend
money freely in any way. On account of
his family the matter was suppressed at the
time, but became public to-day.

way from a visit to Lord Napier, of Mag
dala, at Gibraltar. The town was dull and
dreary. After a tramp over greasy streets,
some small functions of ceremony on tho
part of the officials happily lapsing into
silence, leaving the evening to ourselves, we
made the best of it in a cold, chilly room.
"We found news from Paris, a dispatch
among others in regard to the Massachusetts
election for Governor; General Butler a
candidate, polling a large, but at the same)
time a minority, vote against Talbot, who
was elected, and Abbott, who ran as a kind

believed Butler to be wrong, it would, in
deed, have been an epitome of the best
Americanism of the time. I have often
thought of this definition, especially is
later days. It was an evidence of the pro

one of the attributes of that extraordinary
man.

There had been labor troubles at home,
and articles about them in the newspapers,
and among them one which I read oloudto
Grant as he lay stretched on a sofa, with
the fire that would not take away the chill;
an editorial which said that the country
needed a strong arm like that of Grant and
