WASHINGTON, May 2G.-There is
much indignation here among the ON
GERS of the department of Justice anC
secret service on account of the escape
of Pete Mccartney, the notorious
counterfeiter, from the deputies OF
Marshall Purnell, in Texas, and the
latter will be dismissed in consequence.
The attorney general will name his
successor on Monday. The secret serv-
ice has accomplished remarkable
achievements in dealing with Mozart
ney, having captured him no less than
three times, and each time he has es--
caped very soon after being delivered
TO the custody of United States
marshals. Last December Washburn
and Burson, of the secret service,
captured him with four of his
gang at st. Louis, and committed them
to St. Louis Jail, which Benson says Is
the safest jail in the country, but on
the Sd of February all four escaped III
manner that left no doubt that the
iai,ot was bribed, although no positive
evidence of the fact could be shown.
WHITNEY and Rathbun, of the secret
service, recaptured them all again at
Waco, Texas, in March, with SS,OOO IN
counterfeit money, and printing nipple
ments. According to law, the detectives
had no right to deliver the prisoners to
the custody of Marshal Purnell, OF that
district, but fearing second escape,
obtained from the attorney general OF
ders to take them from PurnelPs Gus
tody. The latter refused to deliver
them, and took, 10y use of force, Nc,
Cartney's printing implements and
plates from the detectives. Two weeks
after Mccartney escaped from Purheli,
in n manner strongly suspicious OF col
lusion with the latter, but was recap
tured by the detectives. The third tlme
Purnell was again ordered to deliver
the prisoner to the detectives, VINO
wanted to take him to st. Louis, but
again he refused to give him up, be-
inc supported by District Attorney
Evans, of Waco land the United States
Judge who claimed the privilege TO
trv Mccartney first, under an indict-
ment found there. The detectives re-
turned here, not hesitating to say that
Purnell had been bribed by Mccartney
before, and would be again, prophecy
ing that the latter would escape wlthlh
n month, which has proved to lie the
ease, His wife has visited him just
prior to his escape in each Instance,

A hired girl should be ingenious.
One OF them, in the employ Of a West
street family, discovered unique way
Of extracting teeth. She suffered
nearly whole week with an aching
tooth but had not the courage to 60
to dentist. One afternoon it troubled
her so much as to force her to look for
a remedy, and she finally hit upon a
plan. With a piece of stout twiue
she made loop which she put about
her tooth. Then she took a bit of
soap and rubbed it on che floor oppo-
site the back door. The other end of
the twine she fastened to the knob of
the closed door, then she took a posi-
ton on the soaped boards and con,
menced to lean back. When she had
acquired slope Of aboa. forty five de.
grees the soap suddenly took hold and
she came down on the floor with such
force as to knock a par of ten dollar
vases from mantel upstairs, A1d
there she sat reaching out FOR breath
when the atfrigbted family made their
appearance, while the offending to yth
dangled from q string agaiast the
door, DnuburU Mems.

she SaslsieSt Case.

Las Sabba,h fascinating gen,le-
man from Montpelier was stopping at
the Addison House. HIS business
was the benevolent one Of srpplying
the candy dispensaries of the iowa,
and of course sweetness was his strong
point He had the waiter trot out his
best breakfast, which he stabbed ia an
experience manner. Then he spent
an hour of elegant leisure in inserting
a wooden toothprick between his ivor-
les. Tip-top cigar next. Patronized
the landlords brother with wiso mod
Grafton. Lunch at noon. More tooth
prick. More cigar. More patronage.
Then he found time heavy on his
hands. But he knew how to tighten
it up. There was a nice young lady
in New Haven, who had the honor of
his acquaintance. The thought OF
that young lady had fermented beneath
his shirt front ever since he arrived in
this vicinity, and So in good season
the best turnout in the stable was be-
fore the door. He got in, took the
ribbons, spread his coat tails carefully
apart, sat down between them, tipped
a wink at the bystanders, and was off.
Those coat tails swelled with the best
assorted candies The skies were
fair, and the road glorious, and he
soon reached the temple where the
object of his intended treat was en-
shrined, alighted, and was in the
charming presence. There was an
other fellow there. Proabbly her
brother. With his shiny plug in his
hand, with sacharine smile and hon
eyed word he greeted her, and after a
short conversation he asked her for
the distinguished honor and exquisite
pleasure of her company in little
drive. Thereupon the young lady
gave him an introduction to the other
fellow. The other fellow was her
husband. Thunder! The wilted
drummer of sweets got into his buggy
in hurry, sat down upon his candy,
found his seat uneasy, got up, spread
his coat tails apart sat down again and
drove rapidly oft. And they say the
leaves Of the trees that he passed were
utterly withered by the language he

the mutations which a few short
months will make. The first sour

The Peach Season.

1t did seem little odd some years
ago wnen California grapes aad pears,
brought by the Pacific railroads, be-
gan TO be sold from the fruit stalls OF
nearlv all the ccni-al Atlantic. seaboard
and Gulf States But the mastery
gained over space by steam and the
Lightning express train is much better
Illustrated by the preparations which
the Delaware peach-gcowers are now
making to distribute their perishable
fruit, even to the uttermost parts Of
New England and the Northwest
The maturing peach crop IS estimated
at the enormous yield Of 100000
baskets, and tire growers with justitia
ble confidence declare their ability to
supply all the peaches and collie that
the railroads can transport. That the
railroad people do not propose to be
beh;ndhand on distributing these
blessings fay and wide may be Inferred
from the announcement that about
1900 cars are ready or getting ready
for the peach carrying business, and
concentrating at or near Wilmington.
OF course the New York market will
be well supplied, as usual, from the
Delaware orchards; and this year
Boston, Pittsburg, Chicago and other
Eastern and Western cities are to be
reached from the same inexhaustibly
fruitful source of supply. Central
Pennsylvania and Western New York
are also to be penetrated by the light
ming peach train, bearing dismay to
old people and the mothers of young
children, and joy to impecunlous fami-
ly physicians along the ronte. Of
course the Delaware peach growers
are to be commended for their enter
prise even if all their customers can
not be congratulated upon it. The
immature peach has already made its
appearance on the street corners, wear
ing a somewhat stale, disreputable
and sbrivelled appearance, and the in
continent street gamin begins percep-
tibly to bend forward, with hand
grasping the bowels-ft subject of
compassion. These, however, are
necessary incidents of brisk trade in
peaches, just as dissipation of every
kind, with its attendant sufefing-fhe
pleasant vices turned iuto whips to
scourge us withal, is an ever-present
bark upon high tide Of prosperity.
Sensible people who shrewdly avoid
the stale and the immature peach may
get much healthy employment for the
palate out of little Delaware before
the season is over, and it seems, not
pay very dear for it either.

One Of Their Anecdotes.

One example Of the way il which
Moody and Sankey, the American re.
vivalists in England. talk to Tie peo-
pie there in the way OF anecdotes is
thus given by an English paper: Not
long ago there was man complain
ing about my talking so about names
written in the Book of Life he did
not believe in it. 1t took some time
to look the subject up, and l was
amazed to find so much in Scripture
about names being in the Book of
Life. Two years ago friend of
mine who was in London was going
back to America, She went to Liver
pool with 4 party of American friends
and they were talking about what ho-
tel they should Sop at, and decided
to go to the Northwestern. The no
tel was full, and as they were star'jag
to find another, they said to my friend:
"Are you not going with us ?" My
friend said NO I am going to stay
here" "Oh, no. they said; "you
cannot stay here" But my friend
said : Il am going to stay" "How
is it {? Il have got Il room Where
did yoa get it. "Wby, | sent my
name on ahead She had telegraph
ed few days before and scared a
room. And that is just wat the chill
d"en OF God are doing now; they arc
sending their names on ahead aud get
ting them down in the Book OF Life.
They are not waiting for the dying
minute. My II end, send your name
on ahead to night, and iG you really
want it there, God will put it there.
