Wretched English In Newspapers.

"Such wretchej English as we get In
our newspapers exclaimed a certain
Chicago clergyman not long since.
There is no polish in the work. 1t is
clumsily done Words are badly chosen.

congestion, and sometimes there are
grammatical errors. don't see why our
newspapers cannot be better written.
One night last week this clergyman
happened to he in a newspaper office.
Near where he stood talking with one Of
the editors Of the papers was a reporter
writing. On the desk in front Of him
lay his watch open. With one hand the
Young man was moving pencil at an
amazing speed. and with the other was
manipulating a cigarette with thai skill
and ease which only come OF long expert

Dwelling Houses In japan.

japanese houses are toys in size and
toys in construction, resting on corner
posts set on large rocks, that they may
give and sway with earthquakes, and
held In place and made stable by the
heavy roofs Of mud and tiles. The only
way Of stemming fire is to tear down
the houses in advance of the flames. and
it is done as easily us child knocks over
a house of blocks or cards. a rope is
fastened to one of the upright corner
posts, the crowd gives one pull, and there
is crash and cloud Of dust as the shell
OF mud and tiles falls upon the ruins Of
tue flimsy dwelling. A matched roof or
a shingle roof drops quite as easily. The
ordinary house or shop in the town sell
dom exceeds twelve feet in frontage, and
il there is second story it is quite as
much in miniature and the roor not more
than fifteen feet from the ground. 1t
sounds frightfuI to hear Of 500 or 1000
houses being burned In night, but with
these liliputian dwellings and their mi
croscopc landscape gardens back OF
them, the area need not he more than

Engineers Not Always Machinists.

There is general belief among the un.
initiated that all good engineers are prac
teal machinisis This belief Is entirely
erroneous. for the rule has always been
that the best engineers come up from the
ranks Of the iremen. and not from the
machine shops. While an engineer Of
experience can repair break in tn ma
chinery of his charge. he could not build
q locomotive or any part Of it at all intri-
cate in construction. Instances can be
cited where machinists have totally lacked
the nerve, gained by long experience. to
run an express train at the high rate Of
speed necessary to make schedule time,

James Polk, alias Murray, the colored
convict shot by r. NJ. Wellborn, steward Of
the workhouse, Saturday morning, was
not dead when an APPEAL reporter called
at that institution about 5 o'clock yester-
day afternoon.
The object OF the visit was to make a
personal investigation into the merits OF
the case by questioning eyewitness,
Superintendent Harrison admitted the
reporter and cheeriully consented TO tell
what he knew of the case, but could only
tell what had been related to him by
n white guard named Clark. 1t was tho
same as reported in Tue APPEAL yestcr-
day. The Superintendent, in compliance
with the request for an eyewitness, called
up ''Bill Dooley," who was recognized by
the reporter as Milton Owens. This witness
related his story in the presence OF the SUI
perintendcnt and two other white men.
and his manner was that OF an unbiased,
| truthful man, so far us the case before him
was concerned. II was, in effect, this:
a underground pick, or shackle, was
ordered placed on Polk instead OF the ten
! pound one which he wore. When the
prisoners were drawn up in line at the
outer edge OF ten or twelve-foot brick
pavement, preparatory to answering roll
call and undergoing other prcliminarics
for the days work, ,Melborn instructed
Milton 10 make the change of shacklcs
| Polk demurrCd and sworo he would not
submit to such an imposition. Words
passed between the Steward and prisoner,
which moved the former to return to a
convenient room and arm himself with a
club. While he was gone for this
purpose, Polk left his place in
line for pile OF picks, some ten
feet distant, aud both regained their places
about simultaneously. Polk was standing
| n little sideways in the line, holding the
pick in his right hand. When Wcllborn
beheld this supposed sign Of hostility he
took the club in his left hand and with his
right drew his revolver and fired. The
bail penetrated tho body over the seventh
rib, glancing from which II ranged down
ward, losing itself in the victims bowels.
According TO Millions story, Polk was
standing in line at the time the shot was
fred.
The report Of tho pistol drew the Super
intendent 10 the rear porch, from which il
was fred. His fins, move was to order all
the conyicts back into the prison, where
they were kept ior about twenty minutes.
When guard went 10 enter the prison for
some purpose, and unlocked the door,
three couvicts pulled open the door and
rushed out, and four Others came up to
follow their example, when the guards
drew ther pistols and drove all Of them
back.
The reporter, before retiring from his
investigation, visited the wounded man.
DR.. Gragg, the surgeon IN chsrgc, has
claimed from the first that Folks chances
Tor Recovery were very slender, and his
appearance so impressed the reporter
Asked II lac intended to harm Wollborn.
Polk replied: "No. sab; | didn't have
nothin' agin Mr.. Wellborn" lie could
talk only with the greatest difficulty, and
no further questions were asked him.
The Grand Jury will investigate the
