ESCAPED JAIL IN sKIRTs.-Further de-
tails of the e.cape from prison, In Lima,
Peru, of DR.. Nicholas Pierols, ex-Preeident
OF Peru, have been received. He had bsen
put 10 jail on charges of disloyalty and on q
charge of being responsible for the loss of the
last faw battles cfthe war between Bolivia
and Peru against Chilli While awaiting the
sentence, privilege was giving his family of
dining with him on Sunday.
One Sunday his wife, accompanied by her
children, came as usual to the prison. The
jaier did not notice that she seemed a little
more robust than usual, and that she carried
small basket. She remained for supper
under the plea of Illness At 7:30 the child
rem were led out by person whom the jail
officials thought was the wife of the Presi
dent. At 8 o'clock the jsiler came In to see
that Perola was in bed.
At dsybreek the next morning all the
prisoners turned up except Pierola. His
cell was visited. and bis wife was found
snugy wrapped in the bed-clothes. The
officials were thunderstruck. kilograms
we're at once sent to all points to watch for
the e7caped man, but no trace OF him was
found. The authorities have not yet heard
of his whereabouts, and If 1t had not been
for an accidental n eating In New York be-
tween Pieroa ard one of bis friends his ar
rival would sti!l be unknown.

Excitement at a Bull Fight

The Jockey Club held its second autumn
meeting 10 the City Of Mexico on Sunday
and the day was generally observed as q
festival In the colon ring bull fight was
given, at which more tbau ten thousand
spectators were present. Posters had an
nounced that the celebrated Guanamo bulls
would furnish sport, with q ,cato and Ferrar
as first and pecogd espadas.
TIE stock from the first fought ba dly for
the fighters, and while Zocato was attempt
Ing to kill the third bull he was caught ON
its horns, spun as though he was top and
tossed In the air. He fell to the ground
and was again gored by the infuriated ami
NAL. He was taken from the arena for
dead. Later he entered the rirg, but was
not permitted to fight, and while retiring
dropped In faint. 1t was found he had
three deep wounds, which, it is believed, will
be fatal.
Five more bulls were let 10 the arena, but
none fought WELL The spectators became en-
ragged and fights were started on the sunny
side of the arena among the spectators.
Pieces OF wood were thrown in the ring from
that side, which started general demolition
of the plszs. After al the chairs had been
pitched into the arena the ratings we're
wrenched of aud thrown on the heads Of the
police In healeyway. TIE bull-6ghters, fear.
Ing they would be mobbsd, escaped from the
arena and sought safety in the streets.
The police endeavored to quiet the tumult
and used their clubs freely, but their efforts
proved futile, as 1t Was Threatened that if
they did not desist they would be hurled in-
to the ring
At the commencement Of the disorder
women, children and timid men rushed into
the passage ways TO escape into the atreet.
choking them end causing partial panic,
in which, fortunately, nobody was hurt.
An American tourist ran over the hesfs
OF the others, shouting hat there was another
revolution in Mexico, TO the great amuse-
ment of the natives.
American ladies were carried cut 10

Chief of Police was present and attempted
to quell the disturbance.
After the chairs and rallings had been
thrown in the arena the spectators started
in to hurl doors and tear out the sides ofthe
ring.
The cry went up, "Give back our money
We won't be swindled ~ The Judge pres
ent promised to return the money, aud Sun
day it was refunded by the Inspector of
the Third ward police.
For over an hour the work of destruction
OF the plaza continued, and the spectators
only stopped when they became tired.

1t Was Good hut Failed to Produce a Sin-

'Show that fellow up" said the pres
ident of the sugar trust, speaking to a
footman. "lle has been botherinp me
every day for week. Tell him to come
up"
few moments later tall man,
with a half-serious. half-comi,al ex-
preston of countenance. was shown into
the office.
What do you want with me?" the
president asked.
May sit DOWN.
"Hes, but be brief'
brief about sitting down or brief
about getting up?"
Both" the president answered.
Thank YOU
The visitor sat down. and, after a few
moments of apparently deep thought,
remarked; "Now, WHAT am going to say
may sound peculiar to you. but | think
you will find information in it. l have
been intending for some time to express
myself to some thoughtful man and
have finally settled upon you"
well, hurry up"
"All right Now, let me lead off by
asking you startling question: Whats
the name of this city?"
Chicago, of course
''Why of course?''
because il is. Are you crazy?"
mo, far from it. You say that this
town is Chicago, but what have you to
go by? Is the name posted upon the
town? Is it not simply matter of ira
dition? One generation calls this Chi
cago and generations far in the future
will continue to do so. without other as
surance than a tradition. London is
managed in the same way, but there is
no name on the town. You say that you
want to go to London. You get on a
ship. you sail, you land and then get on
a railway train. You are told that you
are in London, and you get off and find
yourself in city, but you have no proof
that it is London: so, you see, we must
throughout life depend on hearsay and
tradition. But it is not so with the vii
lage. Out here at a railway station the
name of the place is nailed up over the
station-house door, informing every
man that he is in Hornville. Are you
convinced?n
That's all right, you may GO"
Yes, but have not given you infor-
mation-have not caused you TO Think
YES, you may GO
'Ah, but do you not pay for new
idea? Is it possible that you would rob
me of the fruits of my brain?"
''Show this man out"
II demand one dollar for the original
idea which have given you"
''Show him out. say"
'Ah, it's thus that the trust robs the
American brain. But will be avenged

sweetening in my coffee. Lead on,

A CHILDHOOD LEGEND.
The AwfulIy Wicked Aunt and the Ex-
ceedingIy Good Boy.

ceedingly Good Boy.
When Henry was five years old his
father and mother concluded to die and
leave him an orphan. and as soon as
they could conveniently bring it about
they did so. llenry's only living rela-
tive was an aunt who lived in a hut by
herself on the edge of large forest, and
when he was left alone she came over,
gathered up the personal property in a
handkerchief, and took him by the ear
and said:
''Ilenceforth you are to live with me,
and il don't make you the saddest or
phan in Posey County then I'll never
ask for another rebate on taxes
And she was as good as her word.
From early morn she made Henry wish
