Conrad. for the defence, pressed the
question, Mr.. Davis on behalf Of the
State objected, and the Court sustained
the objection, as an affirmative answer

TuE almost proverbial luck Of the

McGlnnis, seemed to have deserted
him yesterday, and tor the first time
he was convicted by jury. This
man, although young in years, has
been in the hands of the police a num-
Der of times charged with serious
crimes, but when he was arraigned
before the Judge Of the Municipal
Court there was always some link
needed In the chain OF evidence which
resulted In his being cleared, the same
as by the old Scotch verdict of
"guilty, but not proven" Once he
was aIraigned before the Court OF
General Sessions, but, to the surprise
of every one that knew anything about
the case. the jury rendered verdict
of not guilty. This time he was not
SO fortunate, as the jury, after brief
deliberation, convicted him of high.
way robbery. Through sickness, real
or ieigned, he moved the mercy OF the
court, and the forty lGshes provided by
law were RENTED He will, however,
have one year to remain in jGil, and
during that time the commu nifty will
be sale from his depredatiOLs.

One of the prominent figures in West

name William Wallace, the chimney re-
pairer, is known. "Steeple Jacks -
method of working on a chimney is novel
and interesting and he always has large
audiences. He is never out of work. He
sets up his own peculiar device for a
staging, which is a feature of his profes-
sion and which enables him to complete
a job in about the time that it takes to
erect an ordinary staging. "Steeple Jack"
first places long. light ladder against
the chimney that is to be operated on
Then, mounting it, he drives q peculiarly
shaped iron pin into tho brick work and
binds the top of the ladder fast to this
pin. Standing on the top round of this
ladder, he. drives another pin into the
chimney as high above his head as hc
can reach. A rope is then passed over
this pin and made fast to round in a
second ladder about three feet from its
bottom round. This ladder isthen hoisted
up until it rests on the tot Sof the first
ladder. 1t is then made fast to the lower
pin, and then "Steeple Jack" mounts to
the top of it and, driving: in another pin,
secures the top round t.,that. From this
ladder third is hoisteG. rs before. and

as be necessary. continue to rise as far as
may be desired. 1t is estimated that IL

day of the memorable assault. and as we

for my benefit. AS the conflict waxed
hotter he grew excited. and on our arri-
val at the hotel near the summit was n:
fever heat. We then passed on through
the narrow defile which leads to the pin
nacle, where we were confronted by
diminutive specimen of the genus

An Experimeu. In couvie. Treatment.

An Experiments In Convict Treatment
The physical discipline to which they
were subjected consisted in ~ hot baths
three weekly, the Turkish and common
bath alternating; (2) massage-kneading
Of the muscles, passive motions Of the
joints, and friction of the entire surface;
9 physical exercise-manual drill, free
gymnastics and exercise with dumb bells
ranging progressively from three to eight
pounds in weight; (D the substitution Of q
special dietary for the regular prison fare.
The experiment was continued during
five months-long enough to demonstrate
the value of the method, but not to de-
termine the full measure of success prob
ably attainable by these means. At the
end of this period, nine Of the eleven
men then living had risen from the third
or refractory to the intermediate grade,
the remaining two having merely main
tanned their original standing in this
grade. -ry.-ts' eY
During the six months Immediately
preceding the experiment, the average
marking for shop work, school work and
conduct had been 46 per cent. During
the experiment, the average for school
work, previously lowest of all, rose to "a
per cent, the conduct improving at
about equal rate. Shop work was dis
continued, as the special training was
thought to secure enough muscular ex-
ercise. During the six months following
the term of the experiment, the average
marking of the men in the three depart
ments of shop work, school work and
conduct rose to II per cent as compared
with 46 per cent. for the six months pre-
ceding the experiment. At the end Of
this period DR.. Wey reported that "al-
though the men had been remanded to
the former routine of prison life, mental
development was still going on; six of
the number had reached the first grade
in school work, and two of the remain
ing five had every prospect of doing So"
