took out his glasses and saddled them
on his nose, and was soon deeply en-

the man on his right he Said:S =

The deceptive old man read along
down the column for minute Or two,
and then started again:

"Here it says that we had thunder

The man with the paper took off his
glasses and rubbed them with his hand
kerchief, and, after winking vigorously,
put them Oh again and turned the paper
over. He was glancing up and down
columns, when he blurted out:
"Have l been asleep for the last six
months? Here it says that Blaine is

TWO.EDGED VENGEANCE.
George Kennan Gets Even With a
Russian Cab Driver.

RUSSIAN CaD Driver.
Mr.. George Kennan, when on his way
to Siberia, was arrested at the city OF
Perm, simply because he had several
times walked past prison, and his pur-
pose in doing so, being unknown, was
presumed to be evil. When he was go
ing with the police officer to his hotel
to procure his passport, which had been
left there, an incident occurred which
proves that the vigilance of the police
service is blade which cuts all ways at
once. says the Youths Companion.
The driver of my droshky, says Mr..
Kennan, happened to be highway rob
Der of a hackman, who had tried, that
very morning, to make me pay three
times the usual rate for five minutes
ride. And when he saw me taken into
custody he was unable to conceal his
delight.
"They're bad lot. your nobility" he
said to the chief of police, as they drove
away in the direction of the town.
''Only little while ago they hired my
droshky, and then tried to cheat me out
of half my fare" EsSs.s
"How much did they give youP"
asked the police officer, with assumed
sympathy.
The driver hesitated.
Fifty kopeks," 1 said, Indignantly,
"and it was twice what he ought to
have had"
The driver began to asseverate, by all
he held sacred. that he had not
received half as much as the service
was Worth, but before he had spoken a
dozen words the chief Of police, whQ

The German Idea of What Is Good

Sense.
One of the most careless and danger
Gus habits in which Americans indulge
to a great extent is that of tucking their
umbrellas or walking-sticks under their
arms, letting them stick out almost if
not quite horizontally, and thereby en-
dangering as we'll as incOmmOding peo-
pie who are so unfortunate as to be be-
hind them on the street, says the
Youths Companion.
The method for stopping this obiec-
tionable practice which is employed in
Berlin is successful, if rather surprising
to the uninitiated. A citizen of Berlin
rarely offends against the unwritten
law which fOrbids this dangerous trick,
but if he does he meets the same fate
Which recently befell a careless and
unsuspecting American who was sight
seeing in the great German city.
He was wandering along with his
umbrella sticking out behind him al
most at a right angle, whenhe suddenly
felt blow upon 1t which sent 1t to the
ground with crash.
Looking around in some Vexation. as
we'll as surprise, he encountered the
stern gaze of a citizen of Berlin, who,
on discovering the gentleman's inability
to understand German, explained with
some difficulty in broken English that
he mad only followed the law of the
city.
Il see have you astonish," he re-
marked with severity; ''5ut it is the
law in this our city. 1t is not allow so
to carry a stick" And with a bow he
passed on.
The American learned by inquiry
that such is the universal case. Every
one is permitted, even encouraged by
the authorities to strike down an offend
ing walking-stick or umbrella in this
way whenever he sees it, and the one
whose property receives the blow had
best accept the reproof with g0od grace.

BEsIEGED A "PEN."
Bold Work of Vengeance by an
Arkansas Mob.

AFkdHSdS N1OD.
LITTLE Rock, Ark, May I4.-At II 80
last night mob of about a thousand
men. armed with Winchesters and re-
Volyers, demanded admittance to the
penitentiary, where brutenamed James
had been placed by the sheriff. The
authorities at the pententiary refused
TO let the mob in, but admitted the
prisoner had been taken by them for
safe keeping, and that they would turn
him over to the sheriff at S O'Clock this
morning. The mob refused to
parley. Headed by their leader, with
Sle6ge hammers, they broke open the
great iron gates, entered the peniten-
tiary, and, having secured the prisoner,
started with him to the residence of Mr..
Johnson. some distance away, where
Mr.. johnson identified him.
Tile mob grew in numbers to an i'm
menSe thrOng as it then marched in pro-
cessiOn TO Fifth street and Main, in the
heart of the city, opposite the Masonic
temple. He was given several minutes
to pray and confess. He at first denied
his guilt, but finally admitted it. A
rope was then thrown across the cross
arm OF a large telegraph pole and James
was soon swinging in midair and was
Tiddled by hundreds of bullets.
Maggie DCXey. the five-year-old white
girl who was abused by James, died
from the effects OF the injuries received
an hour after the hanging occurred.
The coroner's jury in its investigation
of the lynching of Henry James re-
turned a verdict that the deceased came
to his death by hanging and shooting by
parties unknown to the jury. Gov.
Eagle. who was assaulted by the mob
last night while endeayoring to prevent
the lynching of James, remained in his
room all day. He was twice knocked
down and received many bruises, q

GARFIELD's FIRST DRILL.
1t Was Rather Awkward, but 1t

When President Lincoln issued his
call for volunteers Garfield was a mem
Der of the Ohio senate. 1t was a matter
of patriotism and of state pride that
Ohio should have her quota of the 75.-
900 men promptly in,the field. Garfield
was asked to raise a regiment from his
district. He needed nO great urging.
He knew nothing about military mat
tiers, he said, but lit was never too late
to learn" A legislative drill squad'
was organized, and at 10 o'clock the
same night about sixty representatives
and senators assembled under the dome
OF the capitol rotunda, says the Youths
Companion.
The first exercise. 'sizing the men by
height" placed Senator Garfield upon
the extreme right OF the company, ana
the adiutant general Informed him that
nature had evidently designed him for
first sergeant. As such he would be eX-
pected to aid in the instruction OF the
recruits.
The position of the soldier" was
minutely explained, amid general mer-
riment, and "marking time" followed,
and then an advance of three PAGES to a
halt. The alternate orders, Left!
Rightr' had been executed fairly we'll,
when Garfield suddenly broke the
silence.
Say, general, why don't you go off
with the right foot first? That strikes
me as good sense"
Senator" said the adjutant general,
"you are the first sergeant of the COM
pany. l will give you chance to eX-
plain your own method presently.
Never too late to learn,' you know"
With that a muSket was sent for and
handed to the senator.
Now" said the adjutant-general,
''before you begin your instructions we
must have at least one exercise with
the gun. l will keep out of your reach,
but when l give the order, Charge bay
Onesr you will advance one step and
strike out as if you mean to run me
through"
The charge was ordered and executed
with vigor.
Hold, sergeant, that will never do"
said the adjutant general. The whole
company is wat ching you. You advance
the left foot first. Remember your own
instruction. Ready! Charge Dayonet!"
A shout went up from the whole COM
pany as Garfield attempted to obey the
order, right foot first. He enjoyed the
fun as we'll as any of them, and as the
senators and representatives. dispersed,

THE NEWPORT CONTEST.

The Election Committees who are in
vestigsting the April elections in Newport
held another session in the State House
in that city yesterday. A long list OF wit
nesses were examined. On direct testi-
mony several Republicans supplied very
strong testimony under the guidance OF
Attorney Bosworth.
When taken in hand by Mayor Honey
and City Solicitor Nolan, in cross-exami-
nation, they were not quite so brilliant,
ex-Alderman Greene being particularly
unfortunate in this respect, as it was
elected that he failed OF an election at one
time by the Warden's count but, in the
official count in which he participated, he
was given a majority.
1t also was developed that the "exclu-
sion" Of City Clerk Stevens from the
count was merely an accommodation TO the
Clerk as he had great deal OF writing TO
do and told the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen that he would like to be cx-
cused for that purpose and that he could
be sent fer when wanted to make the
record. In answer to the request, Mayor
Honey said he would be excused.
1t was attempted TO distort this remark
OF Mayor Honey into a high handed plan
to exclude from the count the Clerk, who
is a Republican, although elected by an
entirely Democratic Board.
A request of Mayor Honey for an adj
journment to prepare his defense was
bluntly refused by Chairman Allen.

MAIN STREET.

Some agitation is going on concerning
the widening OF Main street, from the
Rough and Ready engine house TO Pine
street. At first thought It seems to many
inexpedient and unnecessary. But there
are many points in its favor. First Of all
it would be an improvement, and, at the
present time, cheap one. And then
there could be no alleged necessity for any
OF the present lines OF horse cars going
through Bayley street for lack Of room
for turnouts or another track. The cars
would be kept ON the business portion Of
Main street as the business men desire.

II Is NEEDED.

At the meeting Of the John W. Davis

taken looking toward a better Crganiza-

Whether this club can obtain this end
remains to be seen, but at all events it is
to be commended for its interest in the
matter. Notwithstanding the fact that
the Republicans elected their Council
ticket by huge majorities, the Democratic
party has the largest number Of votes in
the town but they cannot be made cficc.
