ing is said to have been done in self de-

The year Of greatest growth in boys is
the seventeenth; in girls the fourteenth.
While girls reach full height in their IF
teenth year, they acquire full weight at the
age Of twenty. Boys are stronger than
girls from birth to the eleventh year; then
girls become superior physically TO the
seventeenth year, when the tables are
again turned and remain so. From No
vember to April children grow very little
and gain no weight; from April to July
from July TO November they increase
greatly in weight but not in height.-Brit-
ish Medical Monthly.

men claim they do not receive as much as
the pay in other similar works, while the

JACKSON, Mich, August 31.-Edward
Huntley, 20 years of age, a Detroit burg
lar; John Davis, % years old a Kalamazoo
burglar, and Lige Bullard a Detroit crimi-
nal, attempted TO escape from the peniten-
tiary by climbing the prison wall. Hunt
ley and Davis were fatally shot and all
were recaptured. The attempt was made
at O'Clock and was timed TO the best adj
vantage. Huntley and Bullard go out In
the first squad, Davis Is minutes later. In
some way the convicts had secreted a loug
ladder near the.southwest corner just in
side the way. Keeper Chase saw Huntley
and Bullard leave the shop and instantly
followed them. They ran swiftly to the
south corner where Davis joined them
The three conyicts put the ladder up
against the wall, Davis running to the top.
He had his hand filled with stones, which
he threw at the guard on the wall as he
advanced and at the others who followed
inside the yard. The guard fired three
times at the men but missed. The gun
then failed TO go of. The other
conyicts now mounted beside Davis on the
wall. Seeing that the guards gun had
failed TO go off, they stOrmed the guard
house, inside of which Guard Clark was,
and attempted TO batter down the door and
secure the gun. Huntley carried a board
shield four feet long and iron-coYered,
which he held in his hand TO protect him
from the bullets and rocks which were di-
rected toward him. Seeing all three guards
coming heiumped down outside the wall
and started TO run. Clark had put new
cartridge in his gun and resumed firing.
He struck Huntley twice, one ball entering
the right side under the hip and another
down in the leg. Guard Freeman came up
at this juncture and brought Davis down
with ball in his left hip which shattered
the bone, causing Davis TO fall from the
and was handcuiled and brought in.

THE HUMAN BRUTES
SpecuIatiOns as to Sullivan and
COrbett.
what Some of the Pugs Think
About the Fighting Qualities of
the men---Bets Offered on the
Big Fellow.

NEW YoRK, August 3I.-Dlck Toner, who
is widely known as a trainer Of prize fight
ers and handler Of game cocks and dogs
predicts that the Sullivan Oorbett fight
will be short one. He lives within about
four Miles of Corbett's training quarters
and he has spent much time with the tall
Californian and is perfectly familiar with
his training tactics and style OF lighting
He said it was Corbett's intention to stand
right up and fight and Corbett is of the
opinion that he can fight just as fast as
Sullivan, and the faster the big fellow
fights the better he will like it. Toner
thinks Corbett an exceptionally good man,
but by no means sullivan's equal when it
comes to hitting power.
New YORK, August 31.-Frank Stevenson,
who refereed the Dempsey -Regan fight and
many other notable mills said he and Sui
Ivan have been on the outs ever since the
Sullivan-Kilrain fight, but that did not in
the least interfere with his opinion, as he
thinks Sullivan has the "cineh" and will
win in a gallOp. He thinks Sullivan in
better condition now than he ever was in
before, and he has seen all his fights even
his battle in Z rope with Charlie Mitchell

pounds lighter than at any previous
battle, is more active and can strike a
quicker and harder blow. He sized both
men up very thoroughly and is more than
pleased with Sullivan's appearance, and
stands ready to bet 81, 900 to 5000 the mo-
ment he can find a man willing to risk 5000
on Corbett, or any fraction of that amount
down to $40 to $6.
