A Crazy Idea.

A gentleman wished TO visit u hos
cal superintendent, and said:
al don't wish 10 go over the asylum
In the usual way, but TO mingle with
the patients as II were Am officer,
surgeon, or even one of themselves.
BY so doing, shall be better on

Would IL be objectionable II L

itor.
"Not ut ALL" was the reply.
The stranger walked into the ball
room, and, selecting the prettiest girl
he saw for n partner, was soon keep
ing up very animated conversation
with her. In the course OF the even
ing, he SAID TO the doctor:
ado you know, that girl In the white
dress with blue spots on 1t, is u very
curious case? I've been talking TO her.

me, discover in what direction her

think she was the Queen OF England or

ment, or Tilted by the Prince of Wales,
and tried TO find out the cause Of hor
lunacy; but could not, she was too
artful."
Very like" said the doctor; ''you
see she is not II patient; she Is one OF
the house maids, and as sane as you
are"
Meantime the pretty housemaid went
TO her fcllow-servant, and said:
Have you seen the new patient?
He's been dancing with me. A fine.

as mad as March hare. He asked me
IL wasn't the Queen of England, 1t u

A REIGN OF TERROR.
Masked Robbers Enter Houses and
Torture the Inmates.

The McClellandtown district, twelve
miles from Uniontown, Fayette county
Pa. was torrorized by an armed party
OF masked robbers, who entered II mum
Der Of houses, and after torturing the
inmates until they gave up whatever
money was in their possession, ran
sacked the houses from cellar TO gar
ret. The first house entered was that
OF farmer named Anderson. Tho
robbers demanded Anderson's money,
and upon protesting that he had none
they placed hot Goals TO his feet and
compelled him to give them forty dol
lars, all the money he had. The next
place visited was Farmer LiIly's short
distance from Anderson's. The old
man said he had no money and the des-
peradoes tied him in bed and set fire
to it. Lilly begged for mercy and f.
nally gave the robbers $3.50. He was
then unbound and the fire eXtinguished.
The gang is believed to be the same
that robbed Farmer Ccre OF Franklin
township Saturday night OF $500. The
residents OF Fayette county arc great
ly excited and armed searching parties
will be organized at once TO capture
the robbers.

FIVE TOURISTS SLAIN.
Murdered for Their Money by Indians
or Outlaws.

II is reported from Canyon City, on
the edge Of Yellowstone Park, that five
French tourists travelling under the
guidance of Hank" Ferry, have been
murdered In the interior Of the park.
Ferry, II is said, escaped with his life
and told the story in the mining town.
but has since disappeared. The tourists
party consisted Of NJ, LeClaire and
wife, j. Vincent and wife. and Paul
Gerot, Mrs, Vincents uncle. They
came from San Francisco. had plenty
OF money. and were bound to sec tho
park In winter, notwithstanding the
rules, Ferry took them through in
two wagons. In Rattlesnake canyon
they were attacked ut sunrise by u
party OF horsomcn. Ferry was nearly
Drained with the butt end Of q gun and
was shot In tho Log. When he recover
cd consciousness he found that his
employers had been shot in their
sleep. The woman had been scalpsd
and everything OF value In the outfit
taken. Ferry made his way to the
mining town. lie was half crazod with
excitement and fever when he told his
story, He thought the murderers were
Indians. Tho miners believe they
must have been outlaws, and perhaps
cattle thieves, and proposed to go after
them Then Ferry disappeared. Al
first 1t was thought no had wandered
of while temporarily insane, but his
continued absence has led to the sus-
picion that he knows more about the
massacre than no has told. No at
tempt will be made TO reach the scene
Of the murder for some weeks yet, The
tourists mules, which were stampoded,
may possibly prove II clue to the muir
derers. The mules were branded, and
unless the brands are altered. they

A Submerged Forest.

During the late violent storms in the
channel the sea washed through high
and hard sand bank near the Isle OF st.
Malo, France, nearly four meters thick,
laying bare portion OF an ancient for
est which was already passing into the
condition of coal. This forest at the
beginning of our era covered an extern
sive hact of the coast; but with the
sinking of the land it became submerg-
ed and covered up by the drifting sand.
Mont Saint Michel stood once in the
middle of it. The forest had quite dis
appeared by the middle OF the tenth
century. Occasionally, at very low
tides after storms, remains of it are dis
closed, just as at present. 1t is believed
hat some centuries ago the highest
tides rose about II meters above the
level of the lowest ebb. Now the high
water level is 1916 meters above the
lowest.

VIM. II. Davis, n we'll know n build

charged with viotimizing President
Tolman, OF the Chicago Trust and Saw

OF n number Of people the same piece
Of property. The prisoner quickly
gave bail on the forgery charge and
disappeared from the Justices office
before IL was realized that additional

appear that besides tho plumber from
his alledgcd crimes he has made way
with all his real estate holdings.
Where the money has gono Is II mys-

business In Chicago ton years and has
a handsome residence on the West
