THE "THIRD DEGREE How Superintendent Byrnes of New York .Employed It. In a Recent Murder Case. I wonder how many people know what the "third degree" really is. Col­ umns have been written about it, but I have never yet seen an accurate descrip­ tion of the process of extorting from the criminal a confession on the Byrnes plan. It is simple enough, however. The fauions New York superintendent merely organizes modern inquisition in the deep reoesses of his retreat at police headquarters and marshals his facts be­ fore tho criminal. In the case of Caesar, the negro who was recently arrested in New York for the murder of his mistress, a negro girl, he used first moral suasion, and later an apparition of the murdered girl appeared, from where is a mystery, upon the wall of the room in whioh Caesar was closeted with Byrnes. The blood stained carpet was held up beforo his eyes. The superintendent told him to take hold of it and examine it. That settled it. Caesar broke down aud made a full confession, and the "third degree" was again vindicated. --St. Louis Republio. BUSINESS CARDS FRANK L. SHEPARD, lOUNSELLOR AT LAW. Suite 514--St?

The close of the war betweeu China and Japan, now apparently close at hand, makes an estimate of the loss of life quite interesting. Mr. Alatsu, secretary of the Japanese legation in Washington, has made a calculation which shows that the Jap­ anese have had 912 killed and 2,061 wounded. The Chinese loss is about 8,000, not including the wounded. But tho fact is that the reports in the dis­ patches regarding the casualties to the Chinese are not reliable, and they prob­ ably really lost twice as mauy as Mr. Matsu has figured out. The, loss on both sides, however, is small, considering that the war extend­ ed over eight mouths. The Chinese were running most of the time; otherwise tho results, so far as their armies are concerned, would have been far mor« disastrous.--Washington Post. Biggest Westeri^Land Lease. The territorial school land department recontly consummated at Guthrie, O. T.f tho biggest lease of land ever made in the west. The lessees are D. Waggoner & Son, cattle dealers of Decatur, Tex., and the lease is for five years and covers all the school land in Roger Mills, Day and Woodward counties, or 532,800 acres. The sum of $17,250.83 per an­ num is paid for the lease. It is the in­ tention of the lessees to graze cattle on tho new lease, and 60,000 head will be placed on grass within a few weeks.-- Kansas City Times. Where Are the Others?

Will Payne was murdered a few days since by his brother, JJ. Payne, on the farm of the latter, near Knottsville, Ky., over a hen. A few days ago Will lost a hen and traced it to the farm of his brother. His brother claimed the hen, and a quarrel followed; Will seized a fence rail and attacked his brother. The latter also seized a fence rail aud struck Will a heavy blow on the head. The wounded man fell and was taken home, where he died from a blood clot on tlia brain.--Cincinnati Enquirer.

It does not exactly accord with our preconceived ideas of English earls to learn that- a gentleman who has for some years earhed an honest living as a book* keeper in^P6ronto has been identified as. the heir of the Scottish earldoms of Strath ern, Monteith and Airtb. It is of course possible that he may be a'genu* ine nobleman, but he has not consorted with prizefighters, he has. not married a skirt dancer or a money chest, and he seems to be wholly unconscious of what is expected of a hereditary legislator of Great Britain- --New York World.
