4 Lie Convict worth a1oo. 600.

A state prison convict worth 800, 900
is little out of the ordinary. Yet such
is Charles Wright, No 4,7S9, life man
at the Michigan state penitentiary.
Wright is fine looking man of thirty
years. He came to the prison from Ben
zie county, northern Michigan, little
less than three years ago He was one
of the most prosperous business men in
that part Of the state, having made q
fortune in the lumber business. He and
his brother as partners operated extern
sive mills. Late in 1889 two officers OF
the law proceeded to attach certain logs
in order to compel the company to pay
taxes.
Wright requested them to attach a
neighboring pile of lumber rather than
the logs, as attaching the logs would
close down the mills and result disas-
trously. They not acquiescing, he made
the request take the form of com
mand, and said he would shoot them if
they persisted in serving process on the
logs. They came back in the evening
and attached the logs, feeling that this
was the only way the firm could be
brought to time.
"You remember what I told you"
were Wright's words, uttered in the
coolest manner.
ITO blazes with you,' was the only
response, and Wright, drawing a siz
shooter he had just purchased, shot one
man dead, then the other.
At the prison Wright's conduct is ex-
cellent. His cell, one of the larger AMI
lighter kind, has an oil stove in it. He
does most of his own cooking, and his
wealth enables him to have many deli
cacies. If he wants extra tobacco he
has no trouble about getting it. He
probably lives better than many men
who enjoy liberty. His cell is finely
furnished. His bed is a comfortable
one. There are paintings on the walls
and rugs upon the hard foor.-Cor. Chi
cago Tribune.

A Rooster on the Chicago.

On the flagship Chicago there is a
rooster which has been on board for
about eight months, during which time
he has delighted the crew and won his
laurels on several fields.
He was bought at Barbados on the
squadron's way south, and was intended
to be served for Christmas, but during
bad weather he crowed so Justify and
seemed such an undaunted rooster that
one of the officers interceded for him and
his life was spared.
On the quarter deck are several big
ventilators, which are partly covered
with polished brass, making refectors.
Dick, for so the rooster was named, soon
passed these ventilators and saw his re-
Election. His first air of startled sur
prise was met by the other rooster with
one which entirely equaled it, and upon
this Dick rufiled his feathers and looked
threateningly, only to be met by one
quite as defiant.
This was more than he could stand,
and after prancing around little he
advanced to the attack, being promptly
met by the other rooster. Then ensued
very comical encounter, for Dick
struck at this ventilator with bill and
spur, getting more and more mad every
minute, and furnishing side splitting
amusement to officers and men, who
were interested spectators, until finally
from sheer exhaustion, he was obliged
to give up the fight and retire, having
only the satisfaction of finding that the
other rooster retired likewise.
The curious delusion lasted several
weeks, and it became a common thing
to see Dick either sullenly glazing at
that other one or actively engaged in
trying to damage him.
The crew are very fond of him, and
when they went ashore for target prac-
tice ON an island Dick was allowed to
run on shore.-Boston Herald.

FREAklSH MEMORY.

How can 1t be that forget
The way he phrased my doom,
When recall the arabesques
That carpeted the room9
How can it be that forget ~
His look and mien that hour,
When recall / wore rose,
And still can smell the fiowerf
How can it be that forget
Those words said at the last,
When recall the tune man
Was whistling as he passed.
These things are what we keep from life's
Supremest joy or pain;
For memory locks her chaf in bins
And throws away the grain.

Slight Wreck on the B. & NJ.

Tuesday evening as the B. NJ. train
from Minnekahta was rounding the
curve opposite the Chautauqua grounds
a box car loaded with lumber toppled
over. the lumber having slid, making
it top heavy. 1t dragged FOR about
four rods when the train was brought
to stop, the coupling broke and the
balance of the cars remained on the
track. The sudden jerk threw an old
gentleman, A. NJ. McPhail, from his
seat in the passenger car. He fell
against the stove cutting himself over
the eye and also bruising his left knee.
He was able to be around the next day.
The section hands worked all night
clearing up the wreck. and the train
went out next morning on time.

MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS
VIII Bring the Matter of the New State
Electoral Divisions Before the Supreme

VIII Bring the Matter of the New State
Electoral Divisions Before the Supreme
Court.
WASHINGTON, D. c., January s.
Michigan Republicans are fully deter
mined to have the constitutionality OF
the Minor law in the United States.
They have had careful examination
made Of the precedents regarding the
choice of electors and several ways have
been found by which the case may be
appealed TO the highest court in the
land.
The leading contention will probably
be on the choice of the electors at large.
Admitting the power of the State Legis-
lature to apportion the State into cleo
toral districts corresponding to the
Congressional districts, it is claimed
that there was no right to split the State
in two or parts in providing for the
choice Of electors at large.
The contention is that the people OF
the State have the right to vote for the
full set Of electors at large, and their
rights cannot be taken from them by
any geographical division. The Mich
igan people here say that arrangements
will be perfected by which the case can
be got before the Supreme Court and a
decision had before the summer adjourn
ment.

WELLsBURG, January 5.-Considera-
BILE interest is just now being manifested
in what was once known as the George
kirkland store. As the whereabouts OF
the proprietor Is unknown and doubt
less won't be for some time, some OF
Georges numerous creditors will be In
the soup for amounts ranging from $40
to $500 and 81, 900. Aud the tale hanging
thereby is as follows: Two years ago
Mrs. Laura Beltz kept prosperous
millinery store, of small proportions,
and was getting on quite well. Through
the Cincinnati Enquirer a correspon-
dence was started between one George
Kirkland and Mrs. BeltZ, which result
ed, on January % last, In their mar
rage, by Rev. J. E. Wright, though the
contracting parties had up TO that time
never met each other. Two or three
months after the wedding Mrs. hlrK-
land closed up her millenery store and a
large millinery and dry goods establish
ment was opened in the room OF John
Reid. The Geo. kirkland store soon
became one Of our leading stores and
did a rushing business on account o. the
great bargains he gave people. The
bargains all went for cash though. On
Christmas morning Mr.. Kirkland left
for Pittsburg, saying he wanted an oper-
alton performed on his ear, he was get
ting deaf. On his arrival there he sent
a letter saying he would be home on the
2gth. George did not come back, but
just now the people, though little late,
have got to understand his methods.
He bought on time, and his business
would amount to over $1,000 month.
The ''time" was arranged TO run out by
the first of the year. His creditors are
numerous and are just now being heard
from. In Wheeling there are Klein
Bros, S169; Spyers Bros, S27s; Jacobs
81 Isenberger, S252; +. Buchanan q Co.,
500; Mccoy Shoe Co., $50, and
Others. In the list so far
from Pitssburg there are Jos. Horne ~
Co., $500; Straussberger 81 Joseph, $500.
There are also number of Wellsourg-
ers in for small amounts. Mrs. kirk
land had loaned him S1,70o for start
er, which she has put in claim for.
Mr.. kirkland recently made a trip to
New York and Philadelphia, but 1t is
not yet known how anyone there fares.
The attachments were made through
Sheriff Curtis and Constable Hall. The
store is now being invoiced. Consider
able sympathy is felt for Mrs. kirkland,
as she is one OF our most popular ladies.
The stock In the store will not pay half
what the bills of the creditors will
amount to.

FOOLIsIINESS.

The New York Herald is Industrious
ly engaged in advertising itself by
raising fund for the purchase Of
several thousand dollar solid silver SER
vice for the officers mess Of the new
cruiser, New York. The gift will be a
most magnificent one. But the sense Of
it is not apparent.
What would be the use Of solid sill
yer service on shipboard? There is
certainly no necessity for it, and after
a cruise or two it would be in sorry
condition. When a ship is put on
the docks and overhauled
the overhsulers are not men used to
handling costly silverware. And, further
more, Uncle Sam, being peacefully in
clined, there is no telling how soon the
New York may be put out OF commits
sion and the rats, alone, left to enjoy
New York City's magnificent gift
Then, too, it is not improbable that it
would create dissatisfaction and jeal-
ousy not only among the officers Of the
New York who will not be permitted
to eat off it but, also, among the officers
OF other vessels not surrounded by such
grandeur.
Furthermore, the United States Gov
eminent equips and furnishes our men
of war in BETTING style; and the Secre-
ary of the Navy should put his foot
down on outside contributions or
gifts Of this character.
The Herald could put this sum Of
money to much better use than to sup
plying naval officers with silverware for
their table. 1t might, for instance, take
poor Jack into consideration. He needs
It. II might donate the thousands this
solid silver service will cost to the
Sailors Home In New York or to the
uUoort Of Jacks wife and children on
shore. There are several ways in which
the money could be spent, which would
be better than putting it into this
foolish gift.
