Prof. Boyesen, whose play OF alpine

literature to the students at Cornell

enthusiast; and he was. .also-a fact that
was familiar to the students-enamor
with the lady who has since become his
wife, and who was the daughter Of a
New York banker The Professors
voice has peculiar, rotund, impetuous
quality, and it was never poured forth
in greater volume than when he said in
one of his lectures: about this time
Goethe fell in love with q rich bankers

was a roar from the students, while
boots and canes ratified upon the floor
like an avalanche Of cobble stones in a

back to his class. That lecture was re-
sumed on another day.-Syracnse

couNrERrE1T1Na IN PRISON.
How Counterfeit Plate Was Carried Out
of Penitentiary.

New York Sun.
when 1 was head keeper in Sing
Sing" said Police Captain Washburn,
"a man named Ulrich was serving
term for counterfeiting. He was an en-
graver by trade, and so good work
man that the warden employed him in
making dies. Ulrich wac taken every
day to large cell especially used in
the prison for that class of work. Be-
fore being locked in he was searched,
and at meal times, aud at the hour of
going to his own cell at night he was
searched again. BY day a1eeper stood
outside his cell, watching him through
a loophole in the strong door. Ul
rich was faithful and attentive
to his work, and did it well.
When the warden was informed by
prisoner that Ulrich, was engraving a
plate for counterfeit bank note he was
surprised Just then, you see, the
Wings were in possession of the prison,
and the Democrats were trying to turn
them out The warden and l were
Wings, and we didn't propose to let any
body know that tcounterfeting had been
going on in the prison. We allowed
Ulrich to continue his work rs usual
After the prisoner had been locked up
one night, we went to the work-room,
sounded the walls, floor, and ceiling,
and examined his tools. We couldn't
find anything, and concluded that we
had been misinformed We didn't know
then what skillful man glrich was.

day three Scotland Yard detectives came
to the prison. They had been sent over
by the Bank of England to talk with
Ulrich. J. was present at the interview,
and learned for the first time that Ulrich
had been employed by the Bank of Eng
land in its paper mills. He got the Sc
crot of the manufacture and water
marks, ran away, and forged Bank of
England notes appeared. 1t was four
years after that the detectives heard of
his arrest here for rcounterfeiting. They
offered Ulrich all manner of Inducements
to tell them how he had managed
to get the paper from the mil Is,
He laughed at them and said he had

tools, and presses, and l will make you

went away disappointed.
After learning what formidable
fellow Ulrich was we watched him closer
than ever. He never gave a sign that he
suspected we lad been warned. One
| day the convict who had first informed
the warden asked to see him, and told
him that Ulrich's counterfeit plate had
left prison. 1t had been covered with
tallow, wrapped in oil-silk taken from,

York i'll pickle barrel. Pickles We're

AEMARKABLE ESCAPES.
a California lawyers "reminiscences Of
Some Criminal Cases In Early Days.

On the journey between Ogden and
San Francisco, l made the acquaintance
Of an early settler in California. He,
was lawyer, and full of "reminiscences
OF the early administration Of law in the
state. 1t seems to have worked con-
sistently so us to give the odd chance to
the criminal. Three escapes are worth
recording. The first happened at Es-
neralda, town near the borders of
Nevada and California. A man was
being tried for murder---a very bad case.
Esmeralda being at the time understood
to be in California, the Judge,
Shreitis and jury were all from
that State. The ease for the prosecu-
ton was concluded, there was literally
no defense, and the fate of the prisoner
seemed scaled The Judge was about
to address, the Jury, when the official sur
veyors, VINO had been working in the
neighborhood for some days, arrived in
the Court and announced that Esmeral-
da was liz Nevada. Then, gentlemen"
said the Judge rising and reaching out
for his hat. Il don't know that I've any
business here" II reckon, Judge, that
we've none either" said the jury, be-
ginning to disperse. II guess I'm III
the wrong box, too" said the prisoner,
and out he went with the crowd, and
was not seen in the neighborhood any
more.
In the second case the prisoner got
off by an oversight of the Judge. This
happened at Sacramento. The man
had been caught red handed in the act
of murder, but in accordance with the
, possibilities Of American law had been
bailed out. At the sitting of the court
| the man surrendered, and the respon-
sibility OF his hondsman there ended
This WAS a preliminary inquiry, and
| what the Judge had to decide was
| whether the man should be held to an
| swer the charge before jury, process
akin to our mngesterial inquiry. After
hearing the evidence the Judge '.leld
| the prisoner to answer" but onlmitted
the next formula of delivering him into
the custody Of the Sheriff. 1t was ac-
cordinglv the business of only single
person to look after the prisoner. That
person was himself, and Judging he
would be better outside. he walked out,
| and has not since been captured.
The third case is less nearly connect
ed with legal formula. A sheriff had
after hot chase caught prisoner
charged with shooting fellowprac-
| toner at the bar of q hotel. As there
| was some talk of rescue, the sheriff, a
determined fellow, spared no precan-
ton. He had the prisoner bound and
carried into n substantial log hut,
| Arming himself to the teeth. he deter
mined to keep watch himself through
the night. He barricaded the dosr,
and for greater safety slept across it,
placing his prisoner in the corner re-
motest from the door. II guess, he
said. as he lay down, ''if they take the
boy they'll have to stride over my
body" AT daybreak he was awakened
by a cold draught, and looking round,
saw that he was Tie sole occupant, ol
the hut. The prisoners friends had
raised one corner of the hut with Z
screwiack, the prisoner had rolled him
self out, and was already we'll across
the border. London Daily News.

went to the charity hospital recently,
with warrant for the arrest of Frank
NJ. Hall, an inmate Of one Of the sick
wards, for having passed bogus check
on 7. G. Shumaker, furniture dealer,

event which in tragic detail has seldom
been equaled. Monday last a strikingly

woman called to the hospital sud asked
to see Hall. IT am his wife," said the
young woman, "and have brought him

We have been separated for several
days, and you know doctor, how we can
appreciate such kindness if you will
only grant it" said Mrs Hall.
The kindhearted medical man was
moved by this appeal, and accompanied
his visitor to her husbands ward. He
noticed with delight the affectionate
way in which the two he had brought
together greeted each other, and de-
parted from there as the deft fingers
were arranging the flowers she had
brought with her in dish of water.

A Fathers Appeal to Dissipated
Son.

The following letter, taken from the
Covington Commonwealth, was written
by father to a son of dssipated hab-
its:
MY DEAR Son: What would you
think of yourself if you should come to
our bedside every night, and waking us
up, tell us you would not allow us to
sleep any more? That is what you are
doing, and that is why l ain up. Your
mother is nearly worn out with turning
from side to side, and with sighing be-
cause you won't let her sleep. That
mother who nmsed youin your infancy,
toiled for you in your childhood, and
looked with pride and JOY upon you as
YOU We're growing up to manhood, as
she counted on the comfort and support
you would give her in her declining
Years.
We read OF most harbarous manner
in which one of the Oriental nations
Furnishes some of its criminals. 1t is
by cutting the flesh from the body in
small pieces slowly cutting off the
limbs, beginning with the fingers and
toes, one joint at time--until the
wretched victim dies. Thatis just what
you are doing you are, killing your
mother by inches You have planted
many of the white hairs that are appear
ing so thicllv in her head before the
time. Your cruel hand is drawing the
lines OF sorrow on her dear face, making
her look prematuraiyf DID,. You might
as we'll stick your knife in her body
every time you come near her, for your
conduct is stabbing her to the heart.
You might as well bring her coffin and
force her into it, for you are pressing
her toward it with very rapid steps.
Would you tread on her body if pros
trated on the floor? And yet with un-
grateful foot you are treatling on her
heart and crushing out life and ioy-no,
! need not say Joy, for that is word
we have long ago ceased to see, because
you have taken it away from us. O1
course, we have to meet our friends
with smiles, but they little know the
bitterness within. You have taken the
roses ont of your sisters pathway, and
scattered thorns instead: and from the
pain they infict scalding tears are often
seen coursing down her cheeks. Thu.
you are blighting her life as welIas ours
And what can you promise yourself
for the future? Look at the miserable
bloated, ragged wretches whom yor
meet every day, and see in them the
exact picture Of what you are coming to-
and will be in few years. Then il
the end adrunkards grave and drunk
ards doom! for the Bible says: "Nc
