HOW SHE Es CAPPED.
The Murderess of Judge Max
Stein had a hard Time.

Corpus Christi, Tex, Feb. 49,
Mrs. McCAbe, murieress of Judge
Max Stein, whose escape from Mata.
moras, Mexico, Jail, and capture at
Alice, Texas, has alre idy been report,
ed, was brought to this city last night
aud placed in Jail. Owing to her sp.
peal to American ladies some months
ago, which was given wide publicity
at the time, it is unnecessary to
repeat how and why she killed Stein.
To your correspondent this morning
she gave graphic account of how she
escaped from Jail Saturday nigh,
February 4. She had already been
tried, but sentence bad been withheld
for unknown reasons. She was not
confined on the same fl ,or with other
prisoners but was in a room on the Sec
ond floor, which privilege was accord
ed her at an extra cost of $40
month, for special guard furnished
by the Mexican Government. About
l o'clock on the above night she exc
cuted plans for escape. The guard,
thinking she was asleep, lett his sta
ton for some purpose, when she
quickly withdrew from her trunk a
long rope with knots tied in it about
II inches apart. This she tied t. a
balustrade. The distance to the
ground was but Is feel, but, owing
to weakness, caused by her long con-
fiue nent, there was not enough
in her arms to support the
weight IF her body, Consequently she
fell heavily to the ground, breaking
two bones of her right foot, while
another DOne was urifo- .l..~-.L n
bottom of her foot.
In this painful stste the brave
woman and fleeing fugitive crawled
seven blocks when the Rio Grande
river was reachei. A boat lay in
waiting. She was taken to Browns
vile, opposite Matamoras, and there
kept until last Sunday night, when
she was put on fast horse and rode
to Alice, distance Of $50 miles, in
three days, accompanied by Doctor
Headly. 1t is feared her feet will
have to be amputsted. Mrs. McCAbe
is 10 years old, of large stature, very
graceful and what might be termed a
pretty woman. She wears a lux
nrious growth of black hair, four feet
in length, and she was born in
Banderis county, Texas, rear San
where her parents now
reside. Her case will be argued here
February 81, pending which time the
extradition treaty will be dissected to
ascertain if Mexico can claim her
back. Her attorneys say not. She
is now held upon teIegraph;c instruct
ions from the Mexican Government.
The Washington authorities will. of
course, have to take a hand. Mrs.
McCabe weeps frequently and says
she will xiii herself before she will re-
turn t. Mexico. She insists that she
killed Stain in defense of her virtue,
and would have proved it had she
been accorded an impartial trial.
Her description of Mexican prison
life is horrible. But 12lc is allowed
per day for food.

blacksmith shop he learns all that is
necessary to render him competent to do
such work as may be needed on board a
ship: in the fcarpenter-shop he is taught
the uses of various kinds of wood. to do
repairing and building, SO that boy
thoroughly instructed in this line will be
able not only to build boat but to show
others how boats should be built.
In the gymnasium the incipient sailors
are instructed in all sorts of exercises
which may be useful in their future CALI
ing; they are taught to ascend and de-
scend masts, head or feet first, while
running, leaping. and vaulting are mat
tiers of course. The artillery practice is
practical, with real guns, both breech
and muzZle leaders; the pupils are
taught to handle the piece, to aim and
to fire; they are also instructed in the
manual of arms and are drilled regular
ly with regulation rifles. The cutlass
and pistol drill is also practiced, and
they are taught to fence with swords,
bayonets, and even handspikes, and thus
at an early age acquire proficiency
with all kinds of arms. Swimming is a
speciality, and regular instruction is
given the boys, while frequent matches
develop more than usual interest in the
sport.
But the Greenwich schools are not the
only places Of training for the navy.
There are a number of training ships,
in each of which from 900 to 1000 boys
are Instructed i@A 81 the duties of naval
life. In the training ship the work is of
even more practical character than in
the schools, for the daily life of the sea-
man is lived over in reality. and, save
for the schooling. there is no distinction
between sea life and the course of train
ing. Old vessels, which were once the
terror of the French and the Spanish,
are set apart for this use, and in them
schools are established for such youth as
desire to qualify themselves for naval
service. They are admitted at almost
any age above -, the authorities, how
ever, preferring them from Is to 1917.

taught to wash the decks and do every
kind of ship work from calking the
seams to "fattiag the cable At eight
bells, 10 O'Clock, all assemble to dinner
OF roast beef, potatoes and pudding,
while for supper they have plain bread
and treacle. Their education is not neg
lected for they must observe certain
school hours. but the practical training
is considered to be the main object of
their stay on board.
The system has been so effective that
able bodied seamen are now seldom en-
listed iiectly into the navy, for the
training schools have provided all that
may be needed. But, to meet all emer-
gencies that may possibly arise, a naval
reserve has been formed, into which
merchant seamen are admitted. Mem
bers of the reserve are paid an annual
sum as retainer to serve on board the
Government vessels and must be in
readiness in time of war to enter the
service of the British navy. Including
the boys, this reserve numbers about
$1,000 men, and as the total number
borne on the ships books is about 81
900, the available naval force of Great
Britain is therefore nearly $4,000 men.
The naval schools have always been
extremely popular, and generally have
had more applicants than there was
room to accommodate There is a good
reason for the preference shown by sea-
faring men for the naval service, for,
although the wages are smaller than are
paid in the commercial marine, in every
other respect the men are better treated,
fed and clothed than on ships devoted to
commerce. The system Of the reserve
and training schools has also done away
with the impressment of seamen in time
of war, and the press-gang, hunting the
sea-coast and abducting men to serve as
seamen, has become thing of the past.
The discipline of man-o f-war is ex-
tremely rigid. No despotism is SO Sc
we're, but in general the men are justly
treated. Seamen, as rule, prefer for
their sons the career they themselves
followed, and thus by a system of train
ing England has been able to keep the
most formidable navy in the world in
high state of efficiency. Democrat

attended the public schools and at the
age of IA entered the grammar school
of Racine College, continuing at this
institution full collegiate course and

spent in teaching he entered the law
Office of E. O. Hand, then County
Judge of Racine County. In 1874 he
entered the law school of the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin and easily graduated

degree of LII. B. From 1877 to 1880
Judge Winslow practiced with emf

to the Circuit bench. For four con-
secutive years he had the Office of cor
poration counsel of Racine. His con
spicuous success upon the Circuit
bench led to his unopposed reelection
in 1899. His success. as a trial Judge

were taken from his Judgment, only
eleven of which were reversed or

Country Dry-Effect of the Recent Hard
Frost.
The grain growing areas of the coun-
try have experienced period of dry
weather accompanied by severe frosts
which are thought to have damaged
more or less the small fruit, nipped the
spring wheat, and what it has done to
the winter wheat, which was just head
ing out, it is impossible at this time to
say.
WINTER WHEAT.
In Central Illinois the prospects now
are that the early wheat will be fit to cut
by the middle of June The crop is
generally heading out. In Southern
Illinois wheat is from fourteen to eigh-
teen inches high. Considerable of it is
in head already. There are no signs of
fly or insects yet. The frost damaged
vegetables and fruit to some extent.
There was more or less wheat just ready
to head out and the earliest wheat may
have been damaged. In many of the
largest winter wheat countries in
Southern Illinois wheat ON the bottom
lands is over two feet in height, and on
high lands about twelve inches high.

None has headed out yet. In Northern

growing very slowly. The plants are
perfectly healthy and strong, and the
prospects are good for a large crop.
Wheat is scarce, and more or less is
shipped in all the time to supply the
home trade In Central and Southern
Indiana the wheat is from eighteen
inches to three feet high. The weather
has been dry and cool for ten days.
No reports of fly or insect. Harvest
will be on about June 40. In Northern
Ohio wheat has made slow growth during
the last fourteen days. Late-sown fields
where the water has stood are more or
less spotted. although the prospects for
wheat are as a whole good. In Southern
Ohio wheat has literally caught up with
