Out of $50 names of conspirators

quickly upon these disclosures and
others are impending. Sixteen artil

Young Loves Dream.

From the Detroit Free Press,
They are young married people and
have gone to housekeeping, and the
neighbors who assemble at their win
dows to witness the narrowing sight Of
their parting for the day declare that
the following is verbatum account OF
their conversations:
"Good by, Charlie; now be careful the
street cars don't run off the track with
you, and-kiss me Charlie there was
something / wanted to tell you-let me
see. Was it hair-pins2 No, got them

Charlie, bracing up and looking very
handsome and manly; "was it something
to eat?"
Why, of course it was; there isn't a bit
of mashed potatoes in the house, nor a
mouthful of bread and butter. We want
half yard of beef steak-see and have
it cut bias, so it will be tender, and a
loaf of sweet bread, Charley, and straw
berry short-cake, dear, and-anything
else you think of, DEAR"
"But, my little wife," says Charley,
looking very wise, "these things must ali
be made before we can eat them"
Must they? Oh, dear, and ! never
learned to do fancy work! I never
crocheted biscuit fit to eat, and
couldn't paint tomato to save my life.
Oh, Charlie, go to the ready-made stores,
dc; there's a darling?"
He did; and they had picturesque
meal of lobster and strawbe rries with
bakers rusk and lemonade, but Charlie
has written to his mother to come at
once and make them long visit; they

The late rebellion in the Massachusetts
state prison is solely attributed to the
meddlesome interference to which with
in the last two years it has been subject
ed by those whose sympathies for GRIM
inals outweigh judgment. 1t is the re-
suit of endeavoring to shape the discip-
line of the prisons so that as many priv
ileges as possible should be granted its
inmates. The prisoners had become re-
fractory and looked outside the prison
for sympathy and support in the most
palpable acts Of insubordination, and at
last refused en- masse to obey their keep
ers. The infexible attitude of the war;
den calls forth the approval of every
right minded citizen, for on his firmness
depends not his welfare alone but that
of an institution that has been terror
to evil-Ioers, and thus safeguard to
society, that in these days of moral lax
ity cannot afford to lose or to have weak
ened any of the means of ofprotection from
those who would prey upon it either by
violence or by fraud.

The spectacle of men in ovcrcoats and
women in shawls and warm wraps, at
Minnetonka, White Bear Lake and 9th
er local watering places, has been very
common during this month, and hence
many think such people would have
been better off at home. Possibly, in
some respects, they might have been
more comfortable, but it does not follow
that they did not receive the usual ben
efts of lakeside life. Very likely the

Arizona yigiiante are again at work. Last

mortally wounded two Americans at Caleba-
zas, New Mexico, were pursued by an organ
lied party Offifteen. The pursuit was kept
mp with vgor during Monday. AT o'clock
p. Ill. the fleeing murderers were sighted in
the distance, the animals they rode being
heading for q precpituous peak. With a
yell the pnrsuers spurfed their, horses on
ward. The doomed desperadoes succeeded
by superhuman effort in reaching the goal
of their hopes, where they dismounted and
sought refuge in the recesses of its. rocky
sides. As the pttrsuers approached they
were received witha v6lley from the Win
chesters with which the ftgitives were
armed, and one of their number were
wounded, IN. The shoulder. The avengers
then withdrew and held a hasty consulta-

brought into reguisition. The battle lasted
bu' few minutes. The ambushed cut
throats fought with fury bornsof despair.
Two of them were quickly killed, and the
third, Nevada jim, was brought down by a
shot through the thighs. The vigilante
spared his life till a rope could be procured
to hang him. He suddenly seized revolver
belonging to. one of his dead comrades,
which was lying near, and fired at Fallehy,
who fell pierced through the lung. Laugh.

through his own brain. The citizens gener-

Victor Hugo and the Jews.

Victor Hugo's recent letter on the
persecution ofthe Jews in Russia contains
the following striking sentence:
The moment Is decisive Dying re-
igious have recourse to extreme meas
ures. What we see rearing up before
rs is not crime, it is monstrosity. A
nation is becoming monstrous. 1t is a
horrible phenomenon. A curtain seems
to.be torn open, and voice is heard
saying, Humanity, look and see." Two
solutions are before your eyes. On the
one hand man is advancing, slowly and
surely, toward the highest horizon lead
ing childhood by the hand. The mans
head is full of light, the child's full of
hope, labor accompishes its great task,
Science looks for God, and thought finds
him the God of truth, justice conscience,
apa shs tGinss lGHs; Man of tibss tbs eartSpp up
liberty. equality, fraternity. God looked
for is philosophy; God found is religion,
nothing more. No fables, no dreams, no
dogmas; all people are brothers; frontiers
disappear; man perceives that the earth
has not been enjoyed; wars, growing less
and less frequent, have but one motive
and one object civilization. Every beat
of the human heart means progress.
Christianity martyrises Judaism. Thirty
towns are q prey to pillage and extermi-
nation. What Is now going on in Russia
produces feeling of horror. An Inn.
mense crime is being committed there,
or rather a frightful actis being done, for
these people have no longer any con.
science of crime; their religion has re.
duced them to bestiality. They possess
the frightfnl innocence of tigers. The
past refuses to give up it's hold on humans
ity. The spectre holds the threads oi
life between its fingers. On the one
hand the people and light; on the other
the mob and darkness" - =.

A well-dressed young woman called at
the Kings County penitentiary on Tues
day afternoon and asked to see man
named Walter Layton, one of the con-
victs, who is serving a term of six
months for larceny, She said she was
Layton's wife. that she had just come
from England, and only learned of his
imprisonment on her arrival. They had
a small family, but times becoming bad
the husband came to America to make a
new home for his wife and children.
He ceased writing several months ago,
and his wife, becoming anxious, started
in search of him. Warden Green sum-
moned Layton, without saying who de-
sired to see him. When the convict met
his wife, whom he supposed to
be three thousand miles
away, in the prison Office, the scene was
very affecting. Layton, who is man of
some education, has all along insisted on
his innocence, and some of the prison
officers are of the opinion that he is suff-
ering for anothers sin. ~ - ~"
