SHARPER THAN A sERPENT'S TOOTH

New York letter: There was an
unusual scene at the Tombs yester-
day. A large detachment of prison
ers were brought down to Sing Sing.
Most of them We're quite youthful
criminals, and in the waiting room
and vestibule were a number Of their
former friends or relatives assembled
to take last look at them and give
them parting word as the officers
brought them out to the conveyance
that was to take them to the Hudson
River Railroad.
Among these onlookers were sew
eral women, sad, careworn. and poorly
clad. They had sons or husbands
among the prisoners. One woman
dressed in thin alpaca dress with a
threadhare shawl pulled round her
shoulders was conspicuous by her
manner She was evidently hard
working woman. The bones of her
bare wrist showed the strain of long
continued labor. The lines in a face
that must at one time have been
cOmely were the lines that are made
by want, and pain. and self-denial.
SIS my Johnny in that gang?' she
asked one of the keepers.
What's he up for?' asked the
keeper.
20 I don't know. 1 only heard this
morning that he was sentenced"
WHATS his name?"
Here the woman came close to the
man and whispered something.
Give years." said he bluntly.
Highway robbery"
Then she leaned back against the
stone wall of the corridor, and the
rise and fall of the frayed shawl alone
told that she had a mothers heart
and that it could be wrenched.
Presently the tramp of feet told
that the men Were being brought out
She clutched the stones with one
hand and bent forward With hang
dog looks or assumed bravado tne
wretches came down, their manacles
now and then giving out Il faint
clink.
There was one young fellow in the
party, white faced. slender youth
He could not have been over IS Sud
denly the woman saw him, and with
love and tenderness beaming in her
face and thrilling in her voice, she
cried out; johnny, my God,
Johnny
The young man saw her, but he
saw all the miserable creatures
around him. He put on a haggarl
smile. tossed his head and said: Hal
10, old woman"
Then the gang passed by and went
out of sight, and the woman who had
borne him and who had no doubt
wept and prayed over him stood there
desolate, clutching at the stone to
keep from falling.

Secretary Folger has accepted the re-

Secretary Folger has raised an i'm

requisition On the commission for person
to fill $500 clerkship. The commission
certified to him the names OF the four per-
sons from whom to make his selection.
The secretary finds himself in doubt as to
whether section 154 of the revised statutes
does not limit him in making his selection
from four names. He says in his letter to
the commissioners that this section gives
preference, other things being equal, to
honorably discharged soldiers and sailors of
the late war, and that section of the civil
service act provides that nothing contained
In that act shall be construed to take away
the preference given in section 154 to that

further information on the subject. His
opinion is if one of the persons sent to him is
an honorably discharged soldier or sailor he
must select that one.

Fleeing From Certain Death.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. IA party of
twelve Americans who fed from Guaymas
arrived last night. They said the people
were leaving the city by hundreds. There
was hardly house but contained some VIC
tim of fever. The authorities had given
over the work of burying the dead to pack
of Indians, who went from house to house,
carrying the bodies Of those they supposed
to be dead or dying. The bodies were
buried SO rapidly that mistakes occurred,
and many are supposed to have been put
under the ground while still alive. This was
mainly due to the disease, which at the
favorable turning point leaves the patient In
a comatose state, mistaken by the Indians as
death. The whole city Is panic-stricken.
Merchants have closed their stores, and
nailed their doors. Restaurants are all clos
ed. There is no assistance obtainable. Re-
ports from Hermasillo state the fever l. rag
