A Prisoner at the Penttentiary Escapes.
But H. Quickly Caught.
Edward Murray, twenty years old, a
six months map at the Peniteutiary at
Snake Hill, escaped last night, but was
soon recaptured. Murray was employed
on the grounds. and at about six o'clock
last night Assistant Warden VoIlers, who
wanted TO call him, discovered that he
had run away.
The alarm was Immediately given, and
the keepers started in pursuit. 1t was
very easy for Murray to escape, as he was
not shackled, and all that he had to do
was TO walk to the road and then get to
the city before his pursuers, his safety
depending upon the length Of time eiaps-
lug before his fiiehb was discovered.
Mnrray's pursuers followed him into
the city, and watch was set upon his
wife's home, at the corner Of Concord and
Fleet streets. Soon after Murray came
out Of the house and was seized by Keep
err Mulooon. He was handcuffed and put
in the penitentiary wagon and taken back
to Snake Hill He had just changed his
clothes preparatory TO leaving the city.
He had two monthsst to serve, and was i'm
prisoned for petit larceny.

An Advertising Trick.

One of the most amusing incidents
relative to sleek advertising was trick
on the Chicago newspapers several
years ago. One of the partners of a
firm went into court and filed bill for
injunction to restrain the other partner
from sacrificing the goods In their store
at figures far below first cost.
The plaintiff set forth in detail that
his partner had with some insane de-
sire marked all the goods in the store
down below cost Then he went into
details and showed how different arti-
cles were being sacrificed, notwith-
standing his protest, and asked the
court to issue an injunction and restrain
the fractions partner. 1t was a strange
fight and the newspapers took it up
and devoted columns to the novel case
The result was that people on the
lookout for bargains flocked to tho
store and purchased goods. Day after
day the hearing for an injunction was
delayed, and finally, when the free ad.
had been worked to its end the suit
was dismissed without prosecution, the
whole cost to the firm for thousands OF
dollars worth of advertising being
about twenty-five dollars. London

Their WAY.

Concerning the manners and customs
of the savages of Mount Sylvia, For
mosa. Mr.. E. Colborne Baber related
the following incident before the Royal
Geographical society;
A party of English officers from a
man of war landed on the island, and
meeting a company of natives armed
with matchlocks challenged them to a
trial of skill in shooting.
Affixing a mark to a tree about a
hundred yards distant. the officers made
what they considered pretty fair prac-
tice, without, however, astonishing the
natives, who. when it came their turn
to fire. disappeared in the jungle like
one man, and crawled on their bellies
through the underground to a point
about three yards from the target,
which of course they all hit exactly in
the center.
When the Englishmen protested that
such a method of conducting the com
petition was hardly fair. the natives re
piled.

TIE centerboard sloop is b. most
thought the fastest kind oi yacht, and
very many successful racers, from the
big Volunteer to the little twenty
footer winners in yacht club regattas,
have no doubt been sloops. But the
sloop rig is not by any means the safest
and handiest for comfortable cruising
The yawl and sharpie are much safer
and handler than the catboat and sloop
The yawl has an extra sail set at the
stern This is called driver" ''niz
zen, "iigger" or dandy" and It is a
veritable friend in need at all times re.
quiring no care. and being always
ready to save you from a capsizc and
to help you in every maneuver. Its
position is such that il always tends to
luff the boat
If squall strikes yawl she may
right herself because of the pressure
on this little driver; If severe blow
comes on you can sail in safety with
jib and driver alone, the mainsail being
furled; in fact, the yawl with her main
sail down is perfectly manageable and
as safe us can be.
No reeflng is necessary; just lower
the mainsail, and your yawl is "reefed''
ut once for the worst kind of weather.
There is always plenty of driving sail
behind, and with the iib in front to
balance this your boat is under full
control No sloop or catboat possesses
such attributes of handiness and safety.

Anything that will reduce the rattle
and vibration of the ordinary railway
car is boon TO the travelling man. A
new appliance which is said TO possess
this qualification in a marked degree Is
the cushion car wheel, which has the
additional advantages of being simple,
safe economical and noiseless. The
wheel is composed Of two parts, the
center and the tire, while between the
two is thick rubber band which acts
as a cushion to absorb all the vibrar
tions
The tire is so made that 1t may be re-
moved without taking the wheel from
the axle. The rubber is so placed be-
tween the center and the tire as not TO
be liable to injury from hot box or
from the corrosive action OF the lubri-
cants The rubber will run $1,000
miles without showing the slightest
signs OF wear, and in similar distance
the wear of the tire Is but one-thirty-
second OF an inch. which Is less than
one-half the usual wear for this amount
of travel. Philadelphia Press.
