given BY Mr. KEENAN,. are amply con
firmed, nays the Berlin correspondent
81 the Daily Nsrs, by a Russian named
Jacob Koton, who has escaped from
Siberia and is now in BresIau The
substance Of his story is as follows
He was the son Of a welI-to-do miller
IN Russian Poland. In the year 1863
Koton, then nineteen years Of age,
took part in the Polish insurrection,
and in a sIxirmish near his native place
he received a severe gunshot wound, in
the left foot and was taken prisoner by
the Russians. He was thereupon trans
ported to wilma and condemned By
General Mnravieff te exile for life ia
Siberia AZ Tarbogotai, II which Tho
exile val taken, he was obliged To get
hisliving 81 hunting. HI soon became
homesif ii this fearful wilderness, the
climate 81 which VA killing him, and
defying all dangers he made an attempt
to escape, but was seized at Tomsk and
sentenced to three months arrest in a
fortress. a second attempt brought him
to Moscow, third to Grodno.
Six months and finally years inn
prisonment inNa fortress were his pun
ishmcnts, and each time he was trans
ported back to Tarbogotai. Koton
now--at least for a time gave up all
further attemps to escape, and worked
hard to save q sum Of money in order
then to try his luck again. In the spring
Of the year 1883 the exile had saved
about 1000 roubles, the fruit Of
twent y-five years work as a hunter,
Aand now be again thought Of escaping
On dark night he left Tarbogotai,

NJ. p. Taylor and Narcissa Wallace
were run over by yard engine on the

tree, half a mile from the fair ground,
and was badly bruised.
Inspectors Hooton and Poe arrested
the son of ex-Assemblyman Harding,
Of Kerns, Randolph county, last week,
charged with robbing the postofiice at
Kerns. Young Harding was found
wounded at his home from trap gun
shot. The postmaster had set the gun
to catch the thief, as the office had
been robbed many times during the
past year, but it was impossible to de-
tect the thief until the trap-gun located
him. The wound win probably prove
fatal. %

that staple product used in all the civilized
world and known as soap.
The second floor contains three huge
kettles the capacity of which is 1900
pounds. Standing side by side they give
a very adequate idea of their immensely to
the average mortal The soap while in a
soft condition is pumped out of these ket-
ties by steam into a great basin known as
a crutcher, which thoroughly mixes the
ingredients used in the makeup
of the soap. These ingredients vary
according to the kind of soap in process of
manufacture, and include tallow, cocoanut
oil. silicate soda, palm oil. resin, caustic
soda, oil of lavender and oil of citronella.
After the Ingredients have been added in
proper proportions the mass is thoroughly
mixed and boiled for four days. After
this it takes four days to cool, when it is
transferred into the above described frames,
of which greatrnumber abound, each one
of them holding capacity of l 200 pounds.
After the soap reaches the required hard
ness it is cut into slabs and bars of requis-
lite lengths and given time to dry thor
oughly.
From theer the soap is placed on frames
or crates, and sent down by elevator to the
first floor where the stamping and press
ing machines are in constant operation. A
large number of boys and girls are kept
busy wrapping the soap and boxingi pre-
paratOry for shipment. These wrappers
are printed and bought in million lots

fifty boxes per day and there are 100 bars
in a box, each weighing seventy five

why the Piokpockets Have Left Paris.

Why the Piokpockets Have Left Paris.
One of the curious consequences of the
infanibility of the anthropomesric system
Of Identification is the almost complete dis
appearance OF international pickpockets
from Paris. Eight years ago 100 Of them
were arrested there yearly; by 1887 the num-
Der had fallen to thirty-four; it did not ex-
coed dozen during the year 1890, Being
satisfied that it has become impossible for
them to hide their antecedents in case of
arrest, and fearing also the increase of pun
ishment inflicted on habitual criminals
and on those who have disobeyed decree
of expulsion. they prefer now to remain. Of
their own accord, in foreign capitals
we have our choice" they say; I'VE are
not bound to our native soil by ignorance
of foreign languages If we hesitate be-
tween two fields of labor-the one at Paris
during the exposition, the other at London
during a regatta the difference of punish
ment in case of accident will suffice to turn
US from your capital; pray excuse usl''
These remarks, which were made in 1897
by the leader of gang, have been repeated
several times.
After little incredulity on the part OF
some of the police authorities, the fact OF
the disappearance of pickpockets and the
truth of the explanation that give OF it,
have been confirmed officially, notably By

Cultured by Lectures.

There is man of intelligence and ma
ture years in New York who is and has
been for half his life regular lecture goer
He manages to take in from three to five
popular lectures of various kinds every
week during the winter season, besides the
Sunday sermon, and during the other
months of the year he manages to cover a
few each month. He is especially fond of
free lectures, but he will pay his way to
those for which tickets are sold. He is al
ways ready to travel to any part of the
town, or even to Brooklyn, to attend q
lecture.
He goes to lectures on all sorts of themes,
on any branch of science or on literature
or the arts or political economy or travel
or biography or theology or the history and
habits of the people Of any country under
the sun. He never had any education be-
yond that of the common school, but by CIV
ing all his spare evenings to lectures for
twenty years he has gathered up informa-
ton about thousands of things and has big
piles of knowledge, so that he can shine in
learned society. He says that bachelor
like himself who had not the advantage of
college training can get more culture by
going to lectures as often as possible than
by any other use of his evenings-New

by rail. The last shipment Of this product
came via New York and by water to Gal
weston, and from there by rail to Wichita.
The new route proved considerable saw
ing in cost of transportation. Fourteen
men are employed at the factory and three
men are kept continually on the road.
The orders for the soap come in
as fast as it can be manufactured
and properly dried. The territory
supplied is Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma
and western Missouri The output of the
factory is sold through all the important
jobbing houses of the state and on the
Missouri river, in fact, in all the western
jobbing towns. Kirk & Co., of Chicago,
and Proctor & Gamble, of Cincinnati, are
the principal competitors Of the Wichita
Soap factory, but the latter easily oom-
petes with the former in quality
and in prices, and is rapidly
forcing to the front. The sales of the fac
tory have more than doubled in the past
eighteen months and the prospects for the
future are most 6attering and encourage
ing.
The factory is controlled by stock COM
pany which is one of the strongest in the
city, which the board of directors will

er; Amos L. Houck, J. o. Davidson, c. r.

The entire plant is under the personal
supervision and management of Mr..

| ever keep his puzzling cipher unso1ved."
| The cipher will not be like Donnelly's, so
complicated and intricate that no one save
skilled mathematician may understand.
There will, in fact, be much amazement,
according to the discoverer, that it has not
been solved sooner, so plain and simple
Is it,
Ia his library he has the Bacon-Shake-
speare pages pasted upon an immense
sheet of muslin, which winds and unwinds
like panorama, and along this big roll he
searches for his words and reads between
the lines. The discovery represents four
years constant, Industrious, ceaseless
study. The cipher has told DR.. Owen ex-
actly where Shakespeare's severed head
may be found, and as soon as he gets his
work ready for publication he will go to
England and dig for it. He is so confident
of the absolute correctness of his conclu-
slons that he will rest their success upon
this test.
DR.. Owen claims to have found twenty
seven complete narratives in the plays, one
being Bacon's defense against the charges
of taking brides while lord chancellor.
According to this cipher story Lady Bacon
was unfaithful to her marriage vows, and
one of her lovers took the brides with her
connivance and cast suspicion upon Bacon,
who declined to defend himself because mis-
explanation would involve the revelation
of his wife's dishonor The history Of
Christ, told in majestic verse, forms an
other of the secret narratives, and COM
plete history of the Spanish Armada runs
through Loves Labor's Lost" king
john" COMEDY of Errors" "Othello,"
''The Tempest" and The Merchant of
Venice"
Elizabeth, the virgin queen of England,
has her reputation sadly furnished, for
the cipher discloses that she was the
mother of two children. But the most
thrilling narrative is that relating to the
murder and decapitation of poor Shake
speare. The player was insolent in his de-
mands, and in the heat of passion Bacon
drew his sword and killed him. Before
the blood was washed from his hands a
gentleman appeared and asked what he
had done. KILLED dog" was Bacon's
reply.
Various secrets of the court of Elizabeth
are revealed by this wonderful cipher in
Guiding the true inwardness of the trial
and execution of Mary Queen of Scots. A
history of old York rite Masonry, the story
of the Prodigal Son, and the miracles OF
the New Testament are also unfolded in
deeply interesting language. In one part
Bacon seeks TO extort fearful oath from
the discoverer of the cipher not to reveal
it while he is living, and so save him from
an ignominious death.
DR.. Owen is yet comparatively young
man, and he has every indication of being
a student His features are pointed, sharp,
hewn, and his restless gray eye never winks
twice in the same spot He was born at
Marine City, Mich, Jan. L. 1854. He re-
ceived his education in the Michigan uni
versity at Ann Arbor, and studied medi-
cine at Detroit. He has a wide practice
and fashionable one, which has enabled
him to buy all the books he needed 70 work
out his pet idea. He lives in quiet elegance
and has an interesting family. His Apher
will be made public just as soon as he can
get it ready for the press.

Ostriches and Men.

Curious is the account of the camps or
little kingdoms that the ostriches mark
out for themselves with invisible, but
never to be encroached upon, boundaries.
Inside that camp it will bear no intrusion,
but outside it, in the domain of its neigh
Dor, it is profoundly Indifferent to the
strangers wanderings. Nor is it safe for
the farmer to presume upon bis former ac-
quaintance with any bird. for the ostrich
has not wits enough to distinguish an old
friend from new intruder, nor sufficient
respect for his owner to except him from
his suspicious hostilities, though it would
appear that, as rnle, he will manifest a
stronger aversion to the Kaffir or Hotten-
tot than to a white man.-London Spec
