three vcars ago ho shot u girl named
1'carl I'ocade in Mollie Hall's bagnio. At
the time of the trial the defense was con
ducted vigorously on the plea that the
Bhootmir was accidental. The jury , Imw-
cvor. found him guilty of manslaughter
nnd recommended him to the mercy of
the court , which placed his sentence at

gain for a suporanuntcd cow , and drive
the animal to the yards , where , by good
talking , a handsome profit would
bo realized on her carcase , lint
there may bo fiction in some of
tlieac things. There is , however , no fic
tion in the fact that ho began on nothing ,
was Industrious , economical , active ,
shrewd , persistent , and ublo to push
ahead in the face of discouragement ;
that ho was of too strong nnd sanguine a
temperament to collapse at the llrst blast
of opposition ; that havinc got the ball
started In the right disectlou , ho kept it
rolling till it rolled him up a fortune ,
Horace Grceloy used to say that any man
capable of managing a business could
make a fortune , if , after starting It with
his own hands ho set other hands to work
for him. No man gives moro attention
to the details of his business than Morris.
Lot mo tell you a story to point n
moral. Morris has a large buttcriuo
factory in connection with his packing
house. Ono day , when luoviuc about the
place , ho discovered a bit of grceso on
the lloor about as largo as a walnut. Ho
called the foreman and a number of the
workmen.
"Hoys , " ho said pointing to the lump
of tallow , "boys , what do you call that ? "
No ono ventured a reply.
"That's wastol" ho went on , in his
icciiliarly shrill falsetto voice ; "that
; ind of business costs mo thousands of
lollars a year ! 1 don't want to sec It
round l.brli any morel I can't stand
U"
U"Morris
Morris employs upward of fifteen htm-
Ired men , and as a rule he deals with
; hein generously , and they regard him
with favor in return. Morris once said
, n mo during a big strike , when his cm-
> loyo3 had gene out : " 1 have many men
n my employ who went out on this strike ,
but who can come hick to work when-
ver they wish to do so , and stay as long
is they like ; 1 will never discharge them. "
Another time ono of the men unit with
in accident on the sidewalks of the city
vhich broke his leg and incapacitated
uini for work for many weeks. Morris
lirccted that the man bo given proper
jiu'dical care , and that the doctors bill
bo sent to him. Hesides , ho instructed
tils lawyer to proceed to collect damages
[ rom the city , which ho did , and turned
over the amount to the cripple , without
even the deduction of a lawyer's fee.
Some of the exaggerative , superstitious
and of people have reckoned tlio wealth
> f "Nols" Morris at $15.000,000 , but it is
'ar less than that. Yet ho is rich enough
o smoke belle'4 clears than ho does. One
day ho was called on L < y a couple of news
paper men in search of news. Morris is
always guarded and reticent to reporters ,
lint ho never fails to oiler them cigars ,
which ho produces by some sort of
'haumaturgy trom an inner pocket , us if
ho weeds had been selected with a view
to his own lisp. On this occasion the prof-
crcd cigars wera wrapped in tin toil and
resembled 50 centers.
Now boys , " piped "Nols , " "you
oughtn't to smoke dose cjgars out o'
doors ; they MO too line , and it's raining ;
they'll lose their flavor. "
After the tin foil had been removed and
thn cigars lit they prow soft and flabby ,
burned up ono side and doubled up like
a green Wheeling stogie. IJiit after all
they wcro the right sort of cigars to im
press grangers nnd cowboys , when ono
lias business with them about the stock
yards.
The rich packet is an Austrian , and a
good deal such a man as Joe I'tilit/.er in

CHINESE EXECUTIONS.
Chopping Off IloadH of Criminals at
the Unto of Ton a Mmutc.
How do you use this sword ? Where
is the block ? " "Wo don't use a block.
What we do is to make the prisoners
kneel down in two rows facing ono
another , and bending their heads down.
Then 1 take the sword and chop , chop ,
ono on each side , and the heads fall oil' ;
so on , till thoy'rp nil done , as you'd
switch the tops oil'green weeds with your
walking slick. "
"But you don't always chop a head oQ
with ono blow ? "
"Always. "
"What is the knife for ? "
"For the ling cho , or death by many
cuts. Wo tie the culprit who is con
demned to this death to that cross there
( pointing to two rough unbarked sticks
roughly crossed ) , and wo begin by cut
ting oft' the eyelids , cars , nose and so on ,
ending by sticking the knife into his
heart. The cuts vary in number from
eight to 120 , according to the hoiuousncss
of the culprit's crime. "
"What class of criminals nro condemned
domned to the ling oho ? "
"Parricides , matricides and women
Who have killed and mutilated their hus
bands form the majority. "
"Do the executions interfere with your
appetite and sleep ? "
The three oxociitioncors grinned sar
donically at this question , so wo asked :
"How many persons have you executed
in a day ? "
"I have chopped twenty heads off my
self in two minutes. See that dark look
ing place on the ground over there
that's caused by tlio blood of the last
batch wo had. "
"What is done with the bodies ? "
"Tho friends take the bodies away , but
we keep the heads in the crooks over by
the wall there , and when wo have a largo
number which are no longer recogniz
able wo bury them. Would you like to
see some of the heads ? "
Wo declined , and ono of my com
panions began to grow pale and com
plain of not feeling well , so wo ordered
the guideto lead us away.
"Gentlomou. give twenty cents each ,
oumshaw , to the executioners , " said the
guide , which wo gladly did to escape ,
from the staring ot the "boss" butcher's
swivel eye ; and so ended our interview
with those high executioners of the great
Chinse empire.

Baltimore American : The steam whistle
as it exists to-day as an adjunct to manu
factories in largo cities is an unmitigated
nuisance. Four times daily its shriek is
sent forth to the intinito annoyance , dis
comfort and often injury of these who are
located In its immediate vicinity. It
servos no valid purposu any moro than
do the church bells. It cannot do the
duty of summoning to labor , lor in the
largo number that blow forth their dis
cordant notes together no particular ono
can bo recognized by tlio oar. It is not
needed for any such purpose in our cities ;
for , turn us wo may , at every few stops
there will bo encountered a clock point
ing out the hour , and within a factory
building a cloott or a gong would servo
every end that the steam whistle can ac
complish. To these who are obliged to
live In closts proximity to these howling ,
screeching instruments , they become a
terror , and in the summer season , when
doors and windows are of necessity kept
open the major part of the day , tlio
nuisance Is greatly Increased. They ac
complish no end that would not bo better
attained in o-dlUtiront way. They are a
constant source of annoyance to many ,

PASADENA , Cal. [ Correspondence
Now York Commercial Advortiser.J Tlio
first peak of the lofty Sierra Madres , be
ginning at tbc Arroyo Seea canon , oppo
site Pasadena , has been named after
John Urown , and is Known as Brown's
peak. About its base overlooking the
San Gabriel valley , arc the houses of his
sons and their descendants , who , to the
number of thirteen , have made their
homes hero. The selection of this site
shows the inherent love for the moun
tains possessed by these people. A moro
charming spot it would bo dlllicult to
find in nil southern California. The
Sierra Madra range is perhaps ono of the
most impenetrable mountain systems in
the country , consisting of several paral
lel ranges forty or lifty miles wldo , and
forming n pcrfoct maze of canons and
deep gulches , leading in every possible
direction. The winter rains nave made
them , and at intervals of a few miles all
along the range these dry rivers or arroyos -
reyes open into the San Gabriel valley.
At the base of Brown's peak there are
three of these canons : the Arroyos Scca ,
Millard and Negro , which , in their course ,
surround a plateau cxtenilin < r down from
the peak and leaving it isolated and
alono' readied only by riding down into
the dee ) ) canon and descending the ether
side , up which a carriage trail creeps.
This region , high above the valley , and
remarkable for its dryness , is Las
Cacitas. laid out as a park of homes , and
abounding in some of the most charming
scenery to be found in the entire range.
From it the upper range is reached by a
series of hills , and upon the second ridgu
Owen and Jason Brown have selected
their homes.
Their house is plain and simple , but as
I stood in the doorway it occurred to me
that they had something whioh no pal
ace in tliis country or Europe possesaed ,
their incomparable view. From the
mountain side you look down hundreds
of feet into the green abyss of Nego
canon , while beyond rise the slopes of
the Sierras to an altitude of 5,000 feet. A
turn of the head , and the garden spot of
the San Gabriel valley is beneath you ;
groves of oranges , olives , eucalyptus ,
banana , apple , peach , cherry , and every
sub-tropical and temperate tree ; fields of
waving gram nnd bro.id mesas carpeted
\vith wild flowers. Beyond Pasadena
rise the Mission and Pucnto hills , and in
their midst lies a small laguna whore the
wild ducks live. Beyond airain. thirty
miles or more , is the blue Pacific , with
the islands of Santa Catalina plainly vis
ible , while the vessels at anchor in Wil
mington harbor can bo counted so clear
is thu air.
THE IIOXIK9 OF THE UUOWXS.
Amid such scenes the Brown brothers
livo. Upon these mountain slopes they
intend to pass their days in peace and
quiet. For two years they had been liv
ing upon the plateau of Las Cacitas , but
recently thev sold a part of their ranch
and moved further up the range. A
singular series of disasters has be
fallen these two old men. Owen was
disabled some years ago by being
dragged for several miles by a runaway
hor&e , and Jason has been repeatedly
burned out in the middle states , so that
at present they are in reduced circum
stances. When they moved into their
mountain homo some good friends on
the mountain slopes conceived thu idea
of giving them a house warming , which
resulted in turnishing the new home in a
modest way.
Thirteen members of the Brown family
live within rillo-shot of Las Cacitas.
They are Owen and Jason Brown , the
two sons , Mrs. Uuth Brown Thompson ,
her husband , Henry Thompson , and ,
near by , two daughters and their fami-
lies. Henry Thompson was with Cap
tain John JJrown in many of his trips ,
nnd was wounded in the battle of Black
Jacit , in the early Kansas troubles.
Jason and Owen have been through nil-
ventures enough to make their hair much
whiter than it is. On. more than ono
occasion Jason Urown was taken out to
bo hung or shot , and the last time when
ho bared his breast to the ritles of the
border rulllans , and told them to aim at
his heart , his coolness and bravery alone
saved his life.
THE mtow.N's rnii-osoviiv.
One cannot converse with these men
five minutes without seeing that the
mantle of thn father has fallen upon the
sons. Their ideas of what justice should
bo are singular to the average man , for
the simple reason that they are utterly at
variance with justice as wo meet it every
dav. A few examples of their phJo lophy
will show their character. They do not
consider it right to take interest on money
loaned. Some time ago , when some
friends raised some money to buy them
a cow nnd the cheek was presented , they
protested that there * were others who
needed it moro , and it waa their earnest
desire that the money should bo sent to
the colored sufferers from the earthquake
that occurred in Charleston at about thai
timo. When the Grand Army men visited
Pasadena in the summer of IBSli , the
Browns wore taken in a carriage , a rope
attached to the polo.aud dragged through
the town amid the playing of patriotic
airs much to their confusionas no moro
modest and retiring men ever lived ; ye
they found occasion to suggest three
cheers for the south , and Jason has olten
told the writer that while they consider
that their father was murdered they have
not thu slightest enmity , to ward the people
of the south , understanding exactly now
bitter the feeling was at the time.
They consider that their father diet
that freedom might live , and that ho him
self considered his death was an ofi'crint ,
to the cause is shown by his words whicl
were , in ofl'ect , that it would do moro to
help the cause than any further action o
his in life.
These children of John Brown notonly
prdctico justice , but carry it out to sue !
an extent that this has probably kep
them poor. That they are honored b\
their neighbors it need hardly bo said
When the boycott on the Chinese was do
clarcd here in IdSO , the Browns were a
ones on the side of the weaker , an <
Jason informed mo that ho was going to
Los Angeles to employ a Chinaman , foi
the sake of the example or "principle , I
nothing more , oven it ho had to work
night to earn the money to pay him
The last time I visited the slopes o
Brown's peak , an almond-eyed Mongo
Han was at work , whether as a result
of the oppression or not , I did not in
quire.
COI.OKEI ) MEN'S aiuTiTunE.
Within a week some colored people o
Pasadena got up a benefit for the family
and the occasion was ono of great inter
est historically. The llrowns and . their
families all sat together , and were pro
Fented to the audience. The gentleman
who introduced them , though uot want
Ing notoriety , had it thrust upon him , as
when the ceremony was over Owen
Brown rose to his feet , and after telling
how liis .father joined tlia temperance
party , said : "Now I want to say a word
for my friend , Mr , . His house
was always open to us whcti we were
doing the good work , and it was he 'who
made some of tlio pikes tbat-woro sent'to
Harper's Ferry tq po used m freeing

onrs after created no llttlo sensation
among the gentleman's friends. In the
ludleneo I saw many who were more or
ess interested In the "underground rail
road. " The Giddincs family were all
> rcsent , among them Joshua Giddings ,
he old abolitionist so long in congress.
A stranger behind mo said : "I came
icro to-night out of curiosity , as my
at her often helped slaves that John
Jrown passed along toward freedom : "
ami ho told mo that llo paw several Quak-
; rs In the hall who had been unknown
nit prominent supporters of Brown. An
> ld slave woman sat by the side of Huth
Irown Thompson , who was near John
irown when ho was hung , and told
vhat her mistress said after the hangintr.
while upon the stage was an ox-colored
senator , who as a boy witnessed the exe
cution.

OWT.K nilOAVN'S HEMIXISEXCKS.
Some months ago I happened at Las
Dacitas with Dr. Gleanon , of ElmlraNow
York , and Owen Brown agreed , after
nuch persuasion to relate Ins experiences
on his famous trip from the north to the
south with a colored man named Greene ,
who had volunteered to aid in the free-
ng of slaves. A more dramatic recital
t would bo difllcult to imagine ; a story
of the greatest privation and danger.
where starvation threatened them , and
captivity meant certain death. What
impressed me as remarkable was that
Owen Brown should remember the trip
so accurately though it occurred over a
quarter of a century ago. Every
fence they crossed , every stream they
swam was remembered , and the entire
country , its mountains , streams and val-
oys described in detail. No account of
his adventurous trip has over been pub-
ished. It will atl'nrd a valuable addition
to thn hlstorv of that time and will nrob-

BLAINE FIGHTING SHERMAN.
A. Dlnlne-Fornkor Combination to
1'rovcnt Sherman's fcliulurscntcnf.
Columbus Correspondence of the
Globe-Democrat : There is no longer
any question on the , , Sherman-Forakcr
disagreement in Ohio this year. It is
really the old light between Blaine and
Sherman. Ohio congressmen came homo
impressed with the importance of having
a strong resolution adopted this year de
claring Ohio's unuualilied endorsement
of Sherman lor president. They stated
that republicans fromJothcr states were
constantly asking theni in Washington if
Ohio would bo solid for Sherman in 1833 ,
and were not satisfied with their word
that his state would bo for tiim. They
insisted that the indorsement was abso
lutely necessary to jiatn any headway for
Sherman in other status. Accordingly ,
a Sherman organization was perfected in
Washington secretly before the adjourn
ment oi congress among the republican
congressmen , with Ju'dgo Thompson as
chairman , General Grosvenor as organ-
i/.er , Captain J. C. Donalson as secre
tary. In addition to the congressmen as
aetivc members , ox-Governor Fisher ,
Mural Halstead , Judge William Law
rence , Hon. Thomas Cowgill , many
members of the Ohio legislature , and
others , were taken in for a distribution
of labor. The still-hunt of this combina
tion is now an open secret , and the
Blaine men have declared war.
THE HLAINE MEN OFFENDED.
The Blaine men.especially on the West
ern Reserve , charged that this was a
usurpation of the prerogatives of _ the
state committee and party organization ,
and took : i sharp turn by putting Gov
ernor ForaKer between fires. These anti-
Shorn.au men. knowing that Forakcr
would soon bo in the field for re-election
as governor , said that if ho ran on a
Sherman platform ho would be beaten.
They insisted that this Is not a presiden
tial year ; that Sherman should not hazard
the state ticket and jeopardize home af
fairs for his own urestiao abroad. They
state now openly that if a Sherman reso
lution is oflored at the Republican State
convention in Toledo , July 27 , they will
oppose it to the last , and see that it is not
adopted unanimously , and. if It is bull
dozed through by claims of a majority ,
that they will carry the war to thd polls
nnd make it the end of both Sherman
and Forakcr. It is this contingency that
is cncouragine the friends of Thurumn to
have the Old Roman head the democratic
ticket. Governor Foraker has declared
himself strongly opposed to a resolution
this year endorsing Sherman for next
year. The governor is a strong friend of
Sherman , but he fears the result of a disaffection -
affection of the Blaine men.
HOI.DINU KOHAKKU KKSl'ONSIUI.E.
Judge W. II. West , Judge J. W.
Brown , Gen. Asa W. Jones and other
leading mon have gene so far as to toll
Forakor'H friends that the governor will
bu hold responsible , for the action of a
convention that is unanimous for him
for governor. While the Bhv.no mon continuo -
tinuo to give warning , Sherman's friends
are constantly working to get the resolu
tion programme in grand shape. It is
also said that they want control of the
state committee for the advantage it will
give them next year. The interests of

INSPECTOR BYRNES.
The New York Detective Talks About
III * IVofcoslon.
New Yoik Graphic : Ho loaned caro-
cssly ngninst the iron railing on the
Twenty-eighth street sldo of the Gllsoy
louse , just in the shadow of the hotel ,
llo was dressed in a neat business suit of
nixed goods , were u white derby of tlio
ow-crownod style , smoked his cigar with
evident relish , and had the general air of
a well-to-do man about town , who know
.he good things of this world and enjoyed
.hem. A stranger would have taken him
'or ono of the guests of the Gilsoy but
10 was uot ho was simply Inspector
Ityrncs , and what ho was doing there at
i o'clock In the early summer evening
ast week , standing quietly in the davk-
less.thn Graphic man did not care to ask.
Yet , as the big world drifted by along
Liroadway and under the glare of the
electric lights , showing every man and
woman's countenance to the watchful ,
, ) lacid-faccd man iu the shadows , the inspector
specter dropped into ono of his pleasant
chatty moods , and between the wreaths
) f his cigar smoke told something of the
ife that surrounds him every day.
"No ono knows how much watchful
ness and continual care am required to
Keep up successfully with the patience ,
energy , talent and now methods of the
; hlcvcs of Now York. Thnlr system ot
work against which wo provided to-day
s replaced to-morrow by a newer and
moro intricate schema which has been
evolved from the inventive brain ot some
: alcntod crook. The community looks.
.o us not only for the capture and con
viction of the thieves , but in a largo part
expect us to prevent crime. To do this
n any successful way entails upon mo
and mv olllcors a thorough and continu
ous knowledge of thieves and malefac
tors , their customs , manner of life , habits
dud assocjatcs , their special aptitudes and
peculiarities , and their general haunts
mil lounging places. How do wo attain
this knowledge ? In the simplest \vay
possible bv unceasing dally association
with thuhn thieves and law-breakers of
liigh and low degree. It sounds
strange doesn't it , and yet it is
true that there is not a day of my life but
1 spend a couple of hours among that
class of people. 1 remember how such a
statement as 1 now mnko was received
by Theodore Hooscvelt when ho had me
before his investigating committee. Ho
asked mo what 1 considered the qualifi
cations of a good deteetivo , and I enu
merated youth , energy , courage , enter
prise , good sense , and an acquaintance
with thieves and their methods. 'What ! '
said j.Mr. Uooscvelt. 'Do you consider
intimacy with the criminal classes
one of the essential qualifications ot your
ojlicers ? ' 1 replied that I most certainly
did , and added ! that there was no day
that I did not pass some of my time
among thieves. 'Do you include to
day'said Mr. Roosevelt. 'I do'I an
swered , 'for , looking into this big audi
ence , I can sec several men I have helped
send to Sing Sing for various crimes ! '
The explanation scorned to satisfy the
young lawyer , and ho asked mo no fur
ther on that point. Yet the necessity of
this acquaintance with thieves ought to
bo self-evident. It you lose your watch
and eomo to mo to aid in finding it for
you. I do not go to William M. Evarts ,
nor to Arohbishou Corrigan , nor to Kcv.
Howard Crosby to discover who stole it.
I must go among thieves , and to be able
to do tills and get back vour watch I
limit have the knowledge 1 speak about.
Why don't I take a vacation ? Well , I'll
toll you. Every time I go out of town ,
oven for a few hours , I feel an irresistible
impulse to get back. It seems to mo 1
might be needed. Go to Europe ? No , not
My dear follow , if over they get mo out-
sidn of land they will have to put hand-
cull's on me ! "
LUXURY RUN WILD.
\VlintIt Costs to JrcHS a Fashionable
VOUIIK Man.
New York Letter : 1 was in an up-town
haberdasher's shop the other day , and
in the course of it half hour's conversa
tion 1 learned considerable about the
personal decorations of a Untie. A
modest request to look at some robes do
nuit was what started the shopkeeper.
He took a ghinco at my goldou locks und
produced a box , remarking : "Hero is
something which will suit , your aouiplex-
ion. "
It suited my complexion better than it
did my poukctbook. It was made of a
fawu colored Chinese silk , very soft , nnd
elaborately embroidered m light blue.
A delicate tracery ol blue vines and
flowers ran around the collar , down the
front and around the cull's , and it was
made to button with gold studs.
"This is a very simple pattern , " re
marked the gentle haberdasher , "and
costs only ? 0. Here is a most elaborate
style for $12 , " and ho brought out a gar
ment of rather finer material , simply
covered with embroider. ? . I mildly in
sinuated that i wanted something tor
about $1.AO. lie looked unhappy for a
moment , but recovered , when lie began
to ahow mo some silk underwear for $15
a set , and purple silk hose for $5 a pair.
From underwear wo got to shirts , pa
jamas and "bla/ors. " The styles were
unique and glaring.
"Do men really wear these things ? " I
inquired innocently. Ho gazed at mo
pityingly.
"lo you know what it costs to dross a
fashionable young man ? " ho asked. " 1
mean simply for underclothing , " ho
added. "To begin at the bottom , ho
needs , say , a do/on pair of socks , nt from
s ? I to $0 a pair. His half-do/.en sets of
silk underwear will cost him $15 a set.
llis shirts will cost him $25 a dozen , anil
his collars and cull's , of which he needs a
good many , with his neckties , will cost
as much more. Tennis shirts , long
stockings , blazers , etc. , will run up
, n a summer season , to a couple
of hundred dollars. "Yes , " ho r.ddcd
meditatively , "a young man needs about
$500 to got a summer outlit , not counting
his tailor's , and shoemaker's , and hat
ter's bills , which will amount to much
moro. Uf 'course his fall and winter out
fits are more expensive. "
"How much a year does it cost to dress

year on their clothes , and they are by no
means extravagant , " was the prompt
Substitute lor Tiling Slate.
Sanitary Plumber : A valuable dis
covery , which bids fair to create
a revolution in the ranks of the
roofers' trade , is the recent utili/.ation of
compressed paper phlp as a substitute for
slate in the manufacture of tiles for roof
ing , The advantages gained nro an in
herent lightness , obviating the necessity
of the present weighty frame support ; a
toughness and elasticity not possessed by
slate , rendering breakage an impossibil
ity ; a singular power of resistance to in-
tonco heat or llama ; and a readiness to
receive nails to bind compactly to the
bed , nnd so closely together that high
winds will not losscn or cause them to
shift , as is frequently the case with slate
tiling. The process of manufacture is
simple , yet complete. Thn mould is first
prepared , into which thn pulp In pressed
and allowed to partially dry. The crude
tiles are then dipped into a solution to
harden their fibres and render them
waterproof. When thoroughly impreg
nated they are dried by baking In an
oren heated to a special temperature ,
then coated with an enameling mixture ,
upon which is sifted a thin coating pi
fine sand , colored according to the tint
.dcslrco , to fireproof them. They arc sub
jected to a heat a sccobd time , and nro
then , ready for use.
