Radical English Fashions Don't Go.

The recent refusal to sanction with
the customary prompt enthusiasm sew
eral of the most radical changes in the
regime that have been made Of late years
by London swells has had decidedly
discomfiting effect upon our English
cousins. Their confidence of leadership
has received naturally q severe shock in
consequence. From all accounts the
London swell mob is passing through
period of experimentation. AS a result
mems fashions abroad have not been so
unsettled in fifty years.
The heavy swells continue cropping
aimlessly after the elusive innovation.
For their independence at this time,
therefore, Americans have cause for self
ongratulation-the more particularly
so on account of the very divergent
character Of some of the foreign ultra
speculations. Advanced copies of the
recent London fads in coats and top
coats, had they been tried suddenly on
the New York public, would have Great
ed almost a riot in the streets. The Eng
lish swell, be it known, can dress him
self up as his fancy dictates and the
yeomanry makes no outcry.
Now that we have thrown off the
shackles of slaYish emulation and blithe-
ly accept or reject what we want, or
what does not appeal to the sense of the
fitness of things, the English fashion
Trainer will come down from his oracu-
lar eminence and in the future pose with

forth would have been regarded a few
years ago as rank heresy, but they veri-
fly the aphorism of Brer Rabbit that

An Ingenious Prisoner.

1t is seldom that convict turns the
hours of his enforced confinement to such
good purpose as an inmate Of Maryland
prison. His term of imprisonment is
thirteen years, on conviction Of horse
stealing, of which he insists he was in
nocent. By working overtime he has
earned such sums Of money as to enable
him to purchase books, of which his cell
contains over 200. A short time ago,
when electric light wires were being
placed in the prison, he became inter
ested in electricity and bought some
standard works on the subject. The re-
suit was the construction Of half a dozen
different electrical appliances, including
a burglar alarm, which he has just COM
pleted for the bedroom of the warden of
the prison.
Another result of his industry is a lock
which is so arranged that hammering on
it drives the bolts deeper into their fas-
tening. He exhibited a model of this
lock to the warden, who was so pleased
with it that it was at once adopted for
use in the prison. Castings for the locks
were made in the prison foundry. a lathe
was set up in the prisoners cell and he
was relieved Of all other tasks so that his
entire time could be devoted to theman-
ufacture of his locks, with which in a
short time all the dormitories Of the
prison will be provided.-Exchange

taxa his third wife. The old man has
been in bad health for some time. and
made his will few days ago. In it
he did not leave all of his estate to
his married daughter, who kept house

take his life. 80 he sent them away,

housekeeper. The prospective bride
is nearly as old as he is. The dis.
carded daughter spread ugly reports
about the old preacher, and last night
the Sixth Mount Zion congregation

and said the rumOrs about their pas
tor were false.
