Suicide at Joliet.
CHICAGO, March IA telephone mes
sage states that Frank Rande, the des.
persdo, who made an attempt upon the
life of Deputy Mcdonald, last Saturday
night at Joliet, and who was placed 10
solitary confinement, succeeded in end
ing his career by hanging himself last
night Rande's real name was Charles G..
Scott. He killed no less than five
men in 1877, and is supposed to have
murdered thirteen persons in Indiana,
Illinois and Missouri. He was origi
naily sentenced TO the Iowa penitentiary
for burglary, but escaped. and, fearing
arrest, became tramp. He was after
ward sent to Michigan City prison,
for burglary under another name, and
left there in 1877. He robbed
farmer near Gibson. H., and being
pursued by party of six, he killed two
and wounded three others. He COM
mitted almost similar robbery near
st. Elmo, Ills., and being followed by
party of citizens, killed three sf them
and escaped. He was finally cap
tured In st. Louis, after desperate
struggle with an officer and on his trial
for the Gibson tragedy, escaped with a
life sentence. His prison life has been
marked by three or four acts Of despera-
ton similar TO that of last Saturday
night. He used his undercothing 20

was discovered on opening the "soli-

The Origin of MOSnuitOeS.

(From tae Manhattan for tebIusry.D
The Indians have a Very satisfactory
account of the origin of the Montezuma
mosquitoes. The legend runs thus.
There were in times of old, many moons
ago, two feathered monsters permitted
by the Manitou to descend from the sky
and alight on the banks Of the Seneca
River. Their form was exactly that of
tine mosquito. They were so large that
they dark ened the sun like a cloud as
they flew toward the earth. Standing
on either bank they guarded the river,
and stretched their long pecks into the
canoes of the Indians, as they attempted
to paddle along the stream, gobbling
them up, as the stork king in the fable
gobbled ND the frogs. The destruction
of life was so great that not an Indian
could pass without beng devoured i'll
the attempt. 1t was long before the
monsters could be externiUated, and
then only by the combined efforts of all
the warriors of the Cayuga aud Onon-
daga nations. The battle was terrible,
but the warriors finally triumphed, am
the mammoth mosquitoes were slain
and left unburied. For this neglect the
Indians had to pay dearly. The car
casses decomposed and the particles,
vivified by the srn, flew off in clouds of
mosquitoes, which have filled the coun-
try ever since.

Do Low Temperatures Produce s.Colds!''

From the Popular Science Monthly.l
No man can freeze himself into a ca
tarrh. In cold weather the hospitals of
our Northern cities sometimes receive
patients with both feet and both hands
frozen, with frost bitten ears and frost
sore eyes, but without trace of ca
tarrhsl affection. Duck-hunters may
wade all DAY in frozen swamp without
affecting the functions of their respir-
atory organs. Ice cutters not rarely
comein from an involuntary plunge bath,
and are obliged to let their clothes dry
on their backs; it may result in bowel
complaint, but no catarrb. Prolonged
exposure to cold storm may in rare
cases induce true pleural fever, very
troublesome affection, but as different
from "cold" as a headache is from a
toothache-the upper air passages re-
main unaffected. Sudden transition
from heat to cold does not change the
result. In winter the ''pullers" Of a
rolling mill have often to pass ter times

A SNEAK IHIEE'S HAUL.
iwenty-seVen Thousand Dollars {

1wenty-seven Thousand Dollars Ssplen
from "A Vault.
CHICAGO, March 7.-Last Saturday
about l O'Clock in the afternoon, Pay
master q. 8. Bartlett, of the Chicago,
darlington & Quincy Railroad, left
hs office for lunch without taking the
pfecauiIon to close the combination of
the big safe, In which the money for
the payment of employees was deposited.
On leaving the room he did so without
waiting for the return of other attaches
OF the othce, who had also gone to
lunch. Before his return the safe was
robbed OF all of its contents, with the
exception OF some packages of nickels
md snail change, the total amount dis
appearing, as near as the company's
dficlals can estimate being S27, 600. On
he facts becoming known investigation
vas instituted. Paymaster Bartlett was
discharged from the service of the COM
rny for negligence, and the matter was
paced IN the hands of detectives. An
EFFORT was made to keep the affair secret
II the hope that detectives would be fa-
cfltated In their work, but the affair
booming known and in the belief that
o.age erated statements would be pub
lBhed concerning the robbery the
officials showed willingness that the
exact facts be furnish ed the public. The
th'ory advanced by the treasurer of the
company is that the robbery was ac-
conplished by sneak-thief. Two doors
lee into the cashiers Office from vacant
rom, one of which was found ajar on
th9 paymasters return. The paymas-
teTs room is located IN the general offices
OF the company, on the second floor
OF the building, and was constructed
especially with a view to guard against
intrusion or theft, but in this instance
the most ordinary precautions appear to
hare been ignored. The explanation
given by the paymaster is that it was
supposed that the vacant room adjoining
hlsoffice was always kept locked, but in
this case 1t WAS proved otherwise. This
dor was close to and adjoining
thevault In which the safe is located.
When the paymaster left the room the
cashier OF the company and an assistant,
occupied practically the same room,
butsat at desks somewhat removed from
thevault, and IN an angle which partial
ly concealed the entrance to the vault, SO
tha any one entering from the vacant
room could have accomplished the rob-
bey without their knowledge. The
pa.master assumes that the robbery
must have been committed by some one
having complete knowledge of the room
ane the habits of its occupau ts.

"a DREADFUL END"

Strange Veriflcation of the Prediction of a
Fortune L. Her
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March 6-Yes.
rerdav afternoon in Brides burg, sub
urb of this city, Amelia Mag, brunette
OF 22 years OF age, cut her throat in her
mothers kitchen, and died soon after
ward. She had lived all her life with
her mother and brother, the latter, John
r. Maag. keeping prosperous beer
saloon. In house adjoining that of
the Maags lives Mrs. Fritsch, whose
daughter Mary has been Ameliaa
most intimate friend. When she came
into Mrs. Maag's kitchen to pay her
usual afternoon visit to day her Young
friend lay on the floor writhing, covered
with blood from the deadly cash in her
throat. Mary Fritsch said, through her
tears: go God, that this should have
happened through the predictions of a
tortune-teller. About month ago a
little cried-up old Dutchman-a Rip
Van Wlnkle, whom no one had ever
seen before-wandered into the village.
He had a queer, quiet look. and when
he registered at an old-fashioned hotel
over the bridge he said he was
a fortune-teller Amelia and [
were sitting IN the back parlor. He
seemed struck with Amelia, and at once
proposed IN a grave way to tell our for
tunes. He took Amelia's hand, and, to
my intense astonishment, told her of
many things of which we had often
talked. You were born uulucky,' said
he, 'and you will bring evil on &ll whom
you love. Those who give presents to

French Men of Letters.
[From the London World

u
The fact Is that the French men of
letters of to day, unlike the literary
men OF old regime, do not frequent the
salons. Generally the literary men you
meet in the salons of Paris in the winter
or IN the chateaus i'll the autumn are
men who had a social position before
they became writer's. But the men who
have sprung from nothing, the sons of
peasants, artisans, and middle. class par
ents-in short, the vast majority of the
literary men of the present day who
have won their position simply by their
pen-avoid the meeting pisces of So
clety, where the superiority Of their in
telilgence and the celebrity of their
name do not save them from feeling of
uneaslness. The youthful discussions
IN the brawling cafes of the Latin quar-
ter and of Montmartre, the refractory
spirit that generally animates the
French literary debutant, unfit man
for the refined intercourse of q salon,
where he feels that in manners, ideas,
and habits of existence be is utterly out
of harmony with the company in gen
eral. In the salons I have mentioned
above, with the exception of that of
Nine. Aubernon, where the Institute
and the Academic palms reign too sn-
premely, merit by right of conquest is
received on an equal footing with merit
by right of birth, to the great mutual
advantage of the worldlings and of the
men of letters. LII the literary men. who
nowadays no longer have the excuse of
poverty. who possess town house and
country house, and do their cooking with
butter at francs pould-if the liter
airy men only took greater advantage of
the hospitality of the salons. they might
observe and study, instead of writing
from chic, and produce some fine and
sincere fiction, instead of describing ex
clusively the slums and dregs of con-
temporary Frer ch life.
