The Bozeman weekly chronicle. (Bozeman, Mont.) 1883-1889, 1883-08-08

A correspondent, while in Concord,
Massachusetts,, recently, visited the pris-
ON in which Jesse Pomcroy is confined.
The boy has reached mans stature now.
Under the condition Of his sentence, he
is kept in solitary confinement. He has
no intercourse whatever with the other
prisoners, and the visitor was not per-
mftted to speak to him. Solitary con-
iinement in his case does not mean the
utterly cherries condition that one could
imagine. Pomeroy, it is said, has de-
veloped into young man Of more then
ordinary intellect, thoughtfulness, and
reasoning powers. He is allowed to have
al the books he wants, and with these
companions his mental life is not wholly
devoid Of comfort. Since he has been in
prison he hes acquired enough knowl-
edge Of several languages to read them
we'll. His cells Is spacious and well
lighted and ventilated. Young Pomeroy
remains to-day what his crimes showed
him to bean. abnormal character.
While moro intelligent and intellectual
than the average, he i destitute Of q
mossl natnre, and hasn't the slightest
oonnsption Of the enormity Of the acts by
which he took the lives of several little
children.

r H. Carson, d East Rochester, N. H.,
lbs accomplished the remarkable feat of
riding down Mount Washington on a
bicycle. He went up the mountain on
Monday morning from Gorham, and dis.
mounting about three miles from the
Glen, completed the journey of eleven
miles to the summit of Mount Washing
ton on foot, pushing his wheel in adj
vance. His machine was the American
Star Bicycle, whose peculiarly consists
in the small wheel being placed in front
Of the large one. The eight miles from
the Glen were passed In two hours and
forty-five minutes. After resting some
time upon the summit he started upon
his dangerous journey, while the guests
at the Summit House almost held their
breath in fear for his safety as he wheel
ed rapidly round the steep bend just be-
low the house. Upon reaching more
favorable ground he forced rapidly ahead,
though it could be seen that the brakes
were constantly in application.
Another sharp turn near the great gulf
was safely passed, and the machine was
behaving beautifully, the precedence Of
the small wheel preventing amy liability
Of "headers," and also serving as pow
erfhl brace in case Of distractions met in
the road.
The halfway house was soon gained,
and the rider breathed more freely, the
steep cliffs which border the first half of
the way being trying to the strongest
nerves. The remainder of the journey
was made in perfect safety the brakes
being effective nspite of the steepness Of
the road. The Glen was reached about
4 o'clock, the descent having been &C
complished in about one hour and fifty
minutes, and the rider met with q warm
reception from the guests. After brief
respite, the wheelman continued on his
way toward. jackson. Mr.. Carson re-
Gently performed q similar feat among
the mountains of Maine.

Oxford and PeStilence.

It is remarkable how often Oxford
was scourged by pestilence in the six
teenth century, and Merton College was
by no means exempt from its ravages
The most appalling outbreak was that
which took place during the Black
Assizes, as they were afterward called,
in the year 1917, when some 500 persons
are said to have perished of jail fever,
including the Judge, the High Sheriff,
most of the jurors, and hundred men,
bers OF the university. No Fellows of
Merton are mentioned among the VIC
TINS, but Anthony Wood says that fatal
eases occurred in every college and
hall. 1t is pleasant to relate that DR..
Buckley, then Warden, earned public
gratitude by his devotion to the
sick. when even the doctors had desert
ed their posts. But this was only one
of many similar visitations In 1889 a
terrible pestilence in Merton College
had carried off Thomas \ ent, a Fellow,
and a famous astron )mer. In 1893
another plague drove the Merton Eel
lows into retirement at Islip. In
August, 1903, the plague broke out
again in the University, and the Princi-
pal of St. Alban Hall. with most OF the
students, fled. to Islip. In October it
attacked Merton. and one Fellow who
died of it was buried in the chapel.
Others took, refuge at Stow Wood, Or
.Wootton, near Gunner. Two more
Fellows of Merton. carried off by the
plague, were buried in, the chapel in
1907, and another in 1909. In l544 the
plague ragged SO. fercely in Oxford that
Merton excused its Bachelors from at
tendance in the schools. In 1911 al
Dodge City times., 1883-02-15

most all university proceedings were
interrupted blythe same cause during
most of the year. In 1876 another Wis
itation of plague, noticed in the Mer-
ton Register, obliged the Vice Cham
cellor to postpone the commencement
OF October term. IN 1873, and again
in 1882, it broke out afresh; the Vice
Chancellor suspended all university lect-
ures, and Merton College gave its
Masters dispensation from their statu-
table exercises. In 1908 it spread from
London to Oxford, all university busi-
ness was suspended during Michaelmas
term, and the colleges. before dispers-
ing, made weekly contributions for the
relief of the plague stricken citizens.
Such were the sanitary difficulties under
which academical studies we're carried
on in what posterity has been taught to
regard as the golden age of Elizabeth
FOrtnig7stly Reriew.

Plumbers.

When Potts began his married life the
watchword engraved on his memory
was: Beware of the plumber The
awful destinies of numberless friends
who had foolishly been inveigled into
poverty and distress by this fiend loomed
up before his eyes, continually remind
ing him of his motto until he grew to
consider himself public benefactor in
endeavoring to suppress this inhuman
monster.
But in an evil hour during the fam.
ily's absence in the country the wash
boiler began to leak, and the plumber
glided in through the basement door.
From that time the house seemed be-
witched.
Two days afterwards the hot water
pipe blew his range to atoms and the
servant girl to glory, the boiler began
to leak at every conceivable point, and
after the second story basin had been
overflowed two days in succession, the
parlor ceiling reminded one of colan-
der, with ancient frescoing between the
holes. These repairs had scarcely been
completed when the tank on the roof
began to fill and resisted all Potts ef-
lOTGS W IlIu Ou tuc WdtcI, duu SiA
hours steady running very materially
increase the damage. The plumber was
then engaged regularly for three days
in the week, and the adjoining house
hired to be used for the storage of lead
pipe, tools, ETC., which were bought by
the ca 60. During the first week of the
plumbers engagement every faucet in
both houses began leaking badly. and
all the basins were stopped up twice a
day. and the third week Potts was COM
PEELED to put. wire screens in all the
bedrooms to prevent the occupants
floating out during the nj yht.
In the midst OF these entertainments
the plumber reminded him that lead
was rising, owing to SO much being
used for counterfeit money purposes.
And three months from the time OF the
plumbers first appearance he owned
and resided in the house, while Potts
lived in the garret and worked as helper
to him, half his wages each week being
forfeited to pay off the balance of his

Of the skirt in place. A. large cluster
also adorned the left side of the opening
on the jacket. The buttons used to
fasten it down the front were balls of
silver filigree. This costume is recon-
mended to any fair beauty in search of
an uncommon and aesthetic toilet.
The strong prejudice that once existed
against so-called mock jewelry has been
in measure dispelled. Pretty. fash
ionable bangles. lace pins, and other
ornaments OF artistic make are now
quite admissible, always provided there
is no vulgar excess, that they are not
pretentious, and. above all. when they
grow the least discolored, that they be
imme diately put aside or redippe d.
Ladies who are fastidious in respect OF
real ornaments do not hesitate to wear
silver jewelry washed with solution OF
real gold, and thus the objection to
mock jewelry is obviated, pure silver
covered with gold being the sole metals
employed. All kinds of gilt ornaments,
whether Birmino ham ware or articles de
Paris, which have become dull or dis
colored, can be rendered bright by a
solut on made of a pint of boiling water,
to which is aided one ounce of cyanide
of potassium. Whon dissolved and the
fluid is cold, add half an ounce of aqua
ammonia and one fluid ounce of recti-
fed alcohol Mix we'll, and clean each
article with a brush wet with the solu.
