An Indianapolis, Ind., despatch says : Wesley Keller, " toe man who was skinned alive," returned to work to- jay. His oase is carious. As an illustration ci the nice powtrj of modern sargery it will be talked about from one end of the ooanlry to tbe other. On Wednesday, July 30th, Keller lell into a steam vat at tbe Indianapolis Venter Worke. He was taken oat as quickly as possible, bathe had been aoaldedfrom the soles of his feet to the middle of hi* chest One arm waa sll tight, bat the other arm WM blistered to the shoulder. Huge blisters puffed op all over the man's body, and the fluid which had txaded from the flesh to fill them ha: 1 , been cooked to ajally. In re moving his clothes great strips of the oat side or scarf skin oame off, leaving expoaec the trail skin anderneath, cooked until it looked like a parboiled lobster. His toes and ankles were so blistered and swollen as to lone nearly all resemblance to liuoi*> members. As soon as hi* fellow, workmen got Keller oat of the vat they telephoned for ton company's surgeon, L>r Ralph Perry " There is, [_erhaa, one obancu in a thua of saving thU man," said the ear when he bad looked at the burns. H set to work, however, and greaaed KelUr from top to toe with a mixturu o hnstej oil and liuie water. Then h swathed the body in cos ton wadding from which all possible imparities and disease germs had been removed by ch.-m ioala. tor two days ai.d nights the oase ban; withoat Ions or gain. A teaspoonfnl o( krauiiy wri given every few boon. Then a change oame. Kellar seemed to be sacking. The throat became swollen, bat this swelling waa checked. The man's temptrature roue a little. Fever set iu. Thu gave ^reat hope. Tne next morning Kellar asked for something to eat, and aetoally ate a piece ot pie and drank some coffee. The news of this shocked the sur- geon at first ; bit he said : I gues we 11 win this flxht, for a man who oau eat pie with no skin on him has life enough left to grow a new one." When suppuration b-Ku great oare was to let out tba pus at every point. The ttrst dressing icon three hours ; the seooud still longer.

Meanwhile the swamps if Boulh Beo.l were being scoured for two-poond trogH. A bushel baaaet of theso were cleaned with a germioidtt mixture and fed on pura food. The raw surfaces of Kallar's body were tenderly washed with clean warm water, then with peroxiue of hydrogen, which deetrjyspas. Tbe utmost cleauii Bets and whcJeaomt-nrvs waa insisted npon. Jtut before applying tbe frog kin the raw surlaoe wan wanned with a weak eolation of corrosive sublimate. Everything reed>, the nrat frog was brooj,ut oat. With a quick snip of tbo scissors its spinal cord was severed at the back of th-j neck. Then tbe loose, pearly white skin from over tbe abdomen waa quickly taken out end thrust into a diih of water which bad bet n boiled, bat which was now merely warm In the water had been dropped a little of tbe oorrosive sublimate solution.

Major Sherwood caueed s reply to be sect from Mew York, stating that the only safe way would be to band McCormick the itoff, and asking him to meet J. J. Grant, of Philadelphia, at tbe Windsor House, Oltaws, Oct. 16th. MoCormick kept the appointment, and learned too late that J. J. Grant, Phila- delphia, was one of Chief Sherwood's men, who placed McCormick under arrest. A very stringent statute waa passed in 1888 to meet these oaaei under *hich this offence is a felony panishable with five years. Major Sherwood iiatt-u that this bogus money business is becoming too oommon, and it will be in the public interest to make a few examples.

Tbe account given in the BeraU of ys terday <t the manufaotrru of oiotbing iu this oily under what is termed the sweat- ing system is tbe verification of an otj c tionable method whiob is gradually taking plaoe in this class of basinets. A few >i .- ego tbe large wholesale oiotbing dealers of this oit v were accustomed to carry ou too business of manufacture in building* .ecu pied by them for tbe sale of their goods. In certain of these establishments, on or in the vicinity of Summer street, hundreds of yoong women were employed in stitching the olothiijg on sewing machines run by steam power. It was a large and regular buainess, and although the conditions under which the work wss carried on may not always have been all that they mi^bt be, tbe knowledge that the workshops were constantly subjected to official inspection made their proprietors careful not toirenuh too clcBtl; upon the line which divides the healthy and acceptable from thcunsanuar> and unallowable. But of late a radioal change has bten made in this system of work, and at thu present time there is hardly one tf these great establishments in existence. The work nowgoinx on in these places is limited to tbe cutting if clothing and making iuoh slight changes and additicna as may be necetsary to nnubed garments. A Urge part of the wurk of manufacture is LOW carried o& cut of town, and the visitor to the country oiatricta of New England will now an i then ooine upon farm nooses where tbe noise ot numerous tewing maohinea indicate* that a clctbing mauufaotory has been established, giving employment in this way to tbe yuuug women ot the neighborhood. The rates of pay by pitoe work in establishments of thin kind are ainaller than in establishments located in iha large cities, for the reaaon that the - xpenses are less, and the opera tivea oan afford, livis*;, as most of thrm do, at home, to work tor wages that would not give to thu young women in the city a aaffl cient sum In a week to pay (or board and lodgings.

This cooBiatH ohietly in having tbe work of anofacture carried on at home in tbe tenements occupied by tbe operatives, nstead ot at acme central workshop. Tbe conditions in these cases mast of necessity vary greatly, and our reporter, in making examination, found that some ot thews tenement workshops were tolerably clean, bile others were filthy in the extreme The pay received by these outside opera lives is perhaps as great as tbat earned by those who are directly employed in the workshops, for in such instances it is not necessary for tbe contracting dealer to pro- vide accommodations and supply heal, power, ate. It is laid tbat clothing made in these tenements mnit carry witb it tbe seeds of disease, and tbat on this account tbe bnai ness should be prohibited by law. But, while the work ia carried pn under exceed- ingly objectionable conditions, so far ai dirt is concerned, there ia no direct evi- dence to abow tbat the result is detrimental to tbe health of the purchasers of tenement houae-made olothing. If it were possible to raise the rates ot wages of those em ployed in tbe workshops by prohibiting this form ot employment, such action might be praiseworthy; bat we cannot imagine how snob a law ooold be drawn whioh would not in its application inter- fere in an unjust manner with the rights of those who oould not, tor various well- understood reasons, go to work in tbe shop*, but who could ake out their meagre in- comes by doing work at home.
