When Senator (Juarles of Wisconsin,

classmate a young man who was more
attentive to the pleasures of llshini;
than he was to his studies. lie alwayti
relied upon Quarles to coach hi in at
recitations. One of the requirements,
was an original essay fiom each mem
ber of the class once a fortnight. Tho
piscatorial student had drawn on
(Maries until that worthy thought It
time to call a halt, and one tiny he re
fiiHcd. Ills chum had a big fishing
expedition on, and pledged earnestly
for one more essay. "What do I get?"
asked Quarles. "Half the Hah," was
the reply. "All right." Bald quarles.
"I'll help you out once more." On the
afternoon for essays the fisherman
student took his place, ami when he

HE PROVED UNWORTHY
Killed Hie Father and Shamed
the Daughter.
Public opinion in Hie Old Dominion
owiiug heavily against Andrew C. (111
llgun, recently on trial at Windsor for
tho murder of Beverly Turner, on
whose plantation tho young iiinii was
hi ought up as a farm hand, when It
became evident that in order to escape
tho gallows Gllllgan stood ready to
blacken the character of Isabolle Tur
ner, his employer's daughter, who had
been his sweetheart. The Jury prompt
ly convicted him. The murder of Mr.
Turner grow out of his driving (lllllgan
olf the plantation when the father tils
coveiod the attachment between the
farm hand and his daughter. Oilllgun
planned to Introduce In Ills defense love
letleis written to liltn by Miss Turner,
anil Virginia chivalry revolted at the
Idea. In tho beginning tho trial had
every element to make It most Interest
ing, for It wius understood that the girl,
Isabello Turner, was In possession of
facts that would tend to clear (lllllgan
or to convict him of the murder of her
father. There was tomanco mingled
with the tragedy, uml people flocked
from miles aiound to see the tangle un
til voled.
Hut with the progress of the hearing
the romance gradually wore away, mid
the testimony of tho girl on the stand
swept all vestiges of It from the face
of tho affair. The shadow of love that
had somewhat hidden the hideous as
pect or murder dissolved In the burning
eloquence with which Isabella Turner
performed a two-fold duty tho aiding
of Justice la the nvengeincnt of the
murder of her fnther and the defense of
AIMtLW
CARTEH
her good name. A. C. Gllllgan, who had
entered tho trial as one half excusable
In the eyea of the people, came out of It
with mure than the statu of murder on
him.
(illllgnn Is the son of the overseer on
the Turner plantation. As a boy he
was Isabolle Turner's playmate and
grew up almost as one of the Turner
household. As the girl budded into
womanhood and (illllgnn grew to bo a
tall, strapping youth, of handsomo face
and gracoful bearing, the brotherly and
sisterly affection gave way to lovo.
Eventuully, of course, Mr. Turner
learned of tho Infatuation of his daugh
ter for Gllllgan. There was tho usual
stormy sceno; tho young girl won sent
off to school and the young man was
ordered from thu plantation. This was
over two years ago, when the girl was
not quite 18 and Gllllgan was little past
his majority.
It appears that Gllllgan from this
time went to tho bad, He took to drink
In order to forget, nndmly made mem
ory moro poignant. When Mr. Turner
thought that tho lovo of tho girl had
grown cold ho brought her back from
school and commanded that she should
see no more of young Gllllgan. She
promised, and that was the end of IHn
tho mind of tho father, who. was an
nrlBtoerat of tho old school, accustomed
to obedience and unable to loallze that
his will was not sulllcjent to thwart
tho designs ot Cupid.
Mr. Turner was murdered on tho
night of December 27. .Gllllgan liad
borrowed a gun that day, and alter the
murder ho disappeared. Soon he camo
back, gavo hlmsolf up and confessed to
the Hhorirr. Ho said that the girl was
With him when ho murdered lior father;
that Mr. Turner had caught him with
Itlri arm arouud her and had threatened
to kill hlui.
"I shot In solf-defonse," uald Gllllgan.
"It was htb llfo or mine."
This aspect of tho caso put Isabcllo
Turner In a cruel position, Accepting
tho truth of Gllllgan's story, she was
tho sole wltnosu of tho crime. Upon her
tostlmouy hung the life ot her lover.
Would sho so distort what happoned as
to clear him? Would sho toll JiiBt what
happened and bo fnlr to the murderer
and M4 lover? Or would sho allow a
spirit of rovengo to nutuato her and
give testimony that would send Gilil

dilvo 'tj SmUhflold with her mother,
Gllllgan had tried to Intercept her as
she entered the bouse.
"He took hold of my capo and wanted
to talk to mo," said tho girl, as she shot
a glance nt (lllllgan. "1 told him it was
too cold to talk, that I had no time nnd
that I did not deslro to talk to him.
He kept hold of my cape, hut I
wrenched It from his hnnd and ran to
tho house." Then.shc gave Gllllgan tho
lie. Sheriff Edwards swore that Ollll
gan told him that Mr. Turner had
found his daughter In the embrace of
(illllgnn. The girl swore that she was
In tho house when her father was shot;
that she hoard the report of the gun
and paid no attention to It, ns tho
shooting of llrearins In the neighbor
hood was not unusual during tho holi
days. She told in detail of her nctlons
In the house that evening, of preparing
supper, of conversations with her
mother, of seeing a skulking form at
the back gate and of going for "Andy"
Cotton, a negro boy, to como to tho
house.
"While on our way to tho cabin for
Andy Cotton." suld the girl, "my
mother nnd I passed Mr. Gllllgan on

us without Hpeaklng. Wo thought that

did not come in at 9 o'clock we bent
Andy Cotton for him with a note. He
was not there and Mr. Crocker came
over. We searched for papa and Mr.
Crocker found his body. It was lying
in tho snow near the fence and ho was
dead."
This testimony wiib given In a low,
clear voice. The girl looked steadily
at Gllllgan, nnd Gllllgan, with impas

and gazed nt the floor. Up to this time

lio wed her head and sobbed, and the
shame of Gllllgan was complete. His

ral.se his eyes from tho floor when his

Tho cross-examination was brutally

Edinburgh special correspondence of
the Chicago Dp'ly News: The Htatlh
lies of the prison commissioners for
Scotland for 1891) are, fiom one point
off view, of a very encouraging kind,
while on the other hand they have a
very depressing aspect. The figures
show thnt theie has boon a steady de
crease for some years past of serious
crimes, for which the Judges would
Beiitenco a pi-boner to penal servitude.
In 1S50, for example, there were 370
men and ir.r women consigned to penal
servitude, with sentences averaging
nine and one-fifth years for men and
eight years for women, hast oar tho
convicts numbered sixty men nnd one
woman, and the average sentences for
the men were four and n quarter years,
and four yours for tho woman. Tho
female convict for Scotland seems al
most to be a thing of the past. Pos
sibly Judges are more lenient now than
they weie half a century ago, and
probably the severer discipline to
which convicts aro subjected now has
had a deterrent effect. Rut it Is none
the less true that there are fewer seri
ous crimen committed now than for
merly. One curious effect this short supply
of convicts hns hnd has been to upset
tho nrrniigemeiits connected with the
oonstriietlon of a great harbor of refuge
at Peterhead, on the noi theast coast of
Scotland. The work was planned In
tho belief that a certain number of
convicts would be available every year
for Its execution. Now the working
pnrtloa are less by one-half than they
were, and the progress of the work will
be correspondingly delnyod. The dls
agreeable feature of the statistics Is
tho fact that they show an enormous
rise on the number of what niny be

Slg. Ferraris Is well known both as
postmaster general In the Crlspl gov
ernment and as editor and proprietor
of tho Nuova Antologla, the principal
review of Italy. He will also bo known
ero long as the head of the movement
for promoting foreign travel In Italy,
and tho comfort of travelers. Tim
movement baa not been started before
it was wanted. Italian station mas
ters will hardly ever do anything to
help or protect foreigners. They nl
ways side against tho foreigner. Thu
facchlnl, or porters, aro a serious nuis
ance. Tips and tariffs in Italy are ex
ceedingly numerous, though railway
fare are cheap and the under olllclals
obliging. According to Slg. Ferraris'
calculations, foreigners have spent In
Itnly during the llrst four jnonths of
1900 no less than $GO,000,000, nnd lu
May the proportion must have been
even grcnter.
Slg. Ferraris has some excellent sto
ries to tell about his experiences as
postmaster general. He made a point,
whenever ho had any time on his
hands, of paying Haioun Al Hnschld
visits to various postolllces. Tho par
ticular falling of his finployps was
playing cards while thoy were tending
tolcgrams. It was "dot and carry
one, I'll raise you," "dot and carry one,
you order me up," "dot and carry one,

There has been a rise In ordinary
prisoners fof some years back. Tho
year 1S!)8 broke former records, but
even its high maximum has been sur
passed by no fewer than 2,792 com
inltinents to prison. There was quite
a startling development In certain
classes of offenses, such ns wife as
snults, drunkenness and cases of what
are referred to as "obscene languago
nnd Indecent conduct." In connection
with a certain category of these minor
offenses It has to be remembered that
there has been groat activity on tho
part of many burghs In procuring locnl
acts of parliament, which are very
stringent In their provisions. Local
acts have a decided tendency to manu
facture the smaller police offenses. Hut
they do not explain away the rlso
(nearly 1,!00) In the number of per
sons committed to prison last year for
drunkenness. No other explanation
suggests Itself for that than the great
prosperity of trade, on account of which
wages for the laboring classes were
plentiful, nnd means wore thereby af
forded them for Indulgence In Intoxi
cating liquors.
It is rather humiliating to think that
n rise In the prosperity of the country
cannot take place without a corres
ponding Incrcpso In the number ot
drunken committals to prison, but
there It Is. and the statistics cannot
be oxplnlnod away on any other foot

EMPLOYES. I
When at length they arrived at the
right window they could not persuade
the man In charge to take the smallest
notice of them. "Can you not attend
to this gentleman?" asked the post
master general meekly. "He has Im
portant business to return to." "Can't
you see that I'm busy?" said the un
derling, grullly. "Vcs," said Ferraris,
"but I think you had not better keep
this gentleman waiting any longer."
The mnn held out his hand rudely and
snatched tho paper. "How am I to tell
that you are the person mentioned in
this?" he shouted to the leader of tho
opposition.
"This gentleman nnd I will testify
to thnt," said Ferraris. "And how nm
I to know who you aro?" he shouted
still more rudely. "If you will send
for the head of your department," said
Slg. Ferraris quietly, "he will let you
know that I am the postmaster general
and this is my deputy!" The man saw
tho ghastly trap Into which he had
fallen, and, rushing out, knelt down on
the pavement and groveled beforo hla
chief. "No, don't npologize to me,"
wild the postmaster general. "Apolo
gize to this man" (nnd he pointed to
tho lender of the opposition), "who
represents tho public, that pays your
salary and mine."
On another occasion when he was go
ing ,to Turin, which he represents In
parliament, he wrote to tell tho post
master of that town that he would call
at 5 o'clock to make a visit of Inspec
tion. At 5 o'clock ho went, "not In n
state carriage, but on foot, in a tweed
suit, with a billycock hat. When he
got to thp door of the postmaster's of

trouble to lift his eyes, turned him
away: "The postmaster won't keo you
today, my good fellow. His excellency
Is coming, and I am given orders to

ter look at me," said Ferraris. The
man being a Tirlnese recognized him
nnd mndo profuse apologies. "Don't
