county canvassers, of Sumpter

neglecting or refusing to
count the votes of three election
precincts in that county. The Dis~
trict Attorney did not press the other
counts in the indictment.
After a statement by Gen. E. W.
Noise. their counsel, in explanation
of their action, Judge Bond stated
that all the government wanted was
vindication of the law, and allowed
them to go without sentence.

bill" on the Indictment against NJ. P.

A Confidence Dodge Played - II
Western Coast,

OF Tho many tricks of those who live
by their wits to take in the unwsry, the
"gold nugget pin dodge" is the most
successful. This oft-practiced game was
played upon n citizen who has often
prided himself rs being "no fool"

he Raw a seedy, semi-respectable-lookine
party, who was walking few steps ahead

citizen to be a nugget pin, evidently

overjoyed stranger to the citizen, as hs
gleefully held it up for the latter's In
specton. "It's worth considerable,
continued he, and it's q wind-fall to me
for I'm dead broke. 1 wish / could

"What do you want for it," asked tn,
transporting victim, who thought HI
scented chance to turn an honest penny
by neat business.
"Well, don't know what it's werth
wish there was pawnshop open. Give
me ten dollars and you can have it."
"Ten dollars for 500 nugget to<

She Fetched Him.

Women sometimes have great pres
ence of mind. A jailor's wife saw that
a prisoner had got between her husband
and the unlocked door and was going
for it like Scotch terrier for rat hole
She knew she hadn't the strength to
seize and hold him, and besides he had
knife, so she didn't try. But she
stepped into side corridor near the head
of a fight of stairs the prisoner had got
to descend, yanked off her hoopskirt,
and, as he passed, flung it before him.
The way he turned handsprings and
somersaults down those stairs was a eau
ton to cats, and his frantic struggles
after he reached the bottom would have
attracted folks from dog fight. When
the jailor came up, the fellow had got
himself so entangled that he was abso-
lutely helpless, was doubled up in ter i
bly, uncomfortable ways and was chok-
ing to death, and SO completely wound
up that the jailor had to cut him out
with a Ratchet, and it took half q yard of
court plaster and a pint of arnica to
make him at all comfortable. Boston

Covering Boilers with Silk.

1t is well known that silk is an excel
lent non-conductor of heat, and some
recent experiments in Germany would
seem to indicate that it might pay to
incase boilers in this costly material.
In one trial three boilers Of the same
size and make were ranged in order, one
covered with the ordinary felt, another
with coating of silk only e-eighths
of the thickness of the felt, while the
third was left altogether uncovered.
They were all filed with water having a
temperature of 100 degrees Contigrade,
and examined at intervals. After the
lapse of three hours it was found that
the unprotected boiler had lost twelve
degrees of heat, and the other two each
two degrees. After further lapse OF
thirty-three hours, the felt-covered boiler
had lost thirteen and half degrees, and
that covered with silk only fourteen, so
that there was no appreciable difference
between the protective powers OF the silk
and those of casing of felt nearly twice
its thickness. With regard to the cost
of the material, it is said that in all silk
manufactures there are waste scraps
which it would be difficult or impossible
to utilize in the trade. These can, it is
asserted, he made up into bands and
rolls, costing comparatively little, and
sold at q profit to the makers and users
of boilers. As to the lasting and wear
ing powers of silk as compared with felt,
nothing is said, and there has not, per-
haps, been time to apply an adequate
test; but it is, at the least, possible that
in this respect the finer substance may
possess great advantages over the coarser
and cheaper.
