GIRLS AND COMPLIMENTS.
They Belong Together, But Are seldom
Properly Harmonious.

Not to value honest praise, not to en-
JOY the appreciation Of ones fellows, to
be Indifferent TO their good as TO their
i'll opinion, is less likely to be mark of
+ lofty superiority than of intense self
satisfaction.
/ Kindly people, friendly people, mod
( est people like to be praised. They
/ find a compliment agreeable which is
sincere and not excessive, and in one
way or the other are pretty sure to man
ifest their pleasure in it.
Often, however, they do so against
their viii. says the Youths Companion,
making all the time poor pretense of
Indifference which they suppose to be
demanded by nnodesty and politeness.
Sometimes they gs further, and insis-
tently disclaim praise which they can
not but know is fairly merited- Again
they giggie foolishly, or try TO waive
the matter aside with an airy gesture
and a laugh that does not ring true

TO receive compliments, are least likely

Boycotting a schoolmaster.

a singular boycott was recently en-
forced against local pedagogue at
Bronkow, in Germany, by the parents
Of his pupils. They objected to the
schoolmaster's extreme notions Of dis
cipline and agreed among themselves to
keep their children at home. SO the
bell rang for two days without the ap-
pearance Of a scholar at the school
room, until at last the magistrate sum
moned the parents before him for con-
spiracy and the schoolmaster won the
DAY.

attire.
Pyjamas should be made of the thin
nest and finest wool. Here in the United
States, especially where tropical heat is
generally followed by sudden cool waves,
wool next to the skin is essential for pre-
venting chills. Moreover, they possess

McKin1ey's Tin Plate Labor.

Mckinley in opening the great tariff debate in the house of representatives, May 7, 1890, extended the following cor dial invitation to the Welsh manufac- turers of tin plates:
 "Let them bring their factories right over here. Bring $25, 100000 over here and sit down among us and employ ou1 labor and consume the products of ou1 farmers This sentiment was ap. plauded.
 How McKinley's invitation has been accepted is shown in the following ex. tract from the news columns of the Bal timore Sun of Oct 3:
 Richard Bowen, a Welshman, was arrested yesterday and confined in the Southern police station. Today he will be tried on the charge of destroying property in Coates tin mill, Locust Point. It is charged that Bowen or Saturday threw pair of tongs into the rollers and broke the machinery. There is said to be some bad feeling existing among the Welsh employees of the mills toward the proprietors because the Messrs. Coates employ some American workmen.

WHITE CAPS" MURDER A TRAMP.
Two Laborers Under Arrest Charged With
 Having Committed the Crime.

Two Laborers Under Arrest Charged With
 Having Committed the Crime.
 NoRRIsTowN, Pa., Oct. 24. - Alfred Schneck and Oliver Schneck, laborers of Sumneytown, are under arrest on war rants issued at the instance of District Attorney Brownback, charging them with the murder of Lucas Smith, a tramp, who was we'll known in the upper end of this county and in the lower section of Berks county.
 Several weeks ago Smith arrived in Sumneytown, after indulging in a pro- tracted spree, and slept in the haymow o f the hotel at Sumneytown. That night, it is alleged, the Schnecks entered the barn dressed in sheets and white caps and beat and kicked Smith into insensi- bility.
 The tramp was SO badly used up that next day he was given a bed and medical treatment. On the morning of Oct. IA he was found dead in bed.
 The attending physician attributed death to apoplexy, and the mutilated re- mains of Smith were given a decent burial last Sunday.
 By that time rumors of the brutal as sault of the Schencks began to spread, and both disappeared. The matter seemed to have Quieted down, and they returned to their homes, when their ar rest followed.

ASKING FOR INVESTIGATION.

Petition to the Vermont Legislature in
 the Case of Arden Humphrey.
 RUTLAND, Vt., Oct. 24.-The friends oi Arden H. Humphrey have sent a petition on to the State Legislature, asking fol an investigation into the sudden disap- pearance of Humphrey from the Brattle- boro Insane Asylum, where he was em- ployed.
 Humphrey has not been seen since 9:30 p. m., June 25, 1889. Mrs. Henry H. Jackson, two weeks ago released from the asylum at Waterbury, was confined at the Brattleboro asylum when Humphrey disappeared, and she says that young Humphrey committed some trivial offense on the day he disappeared and she swears that for the offense he was stripped and horsewhipped.
 It is not alleged by her that his death was directly caused by i'll treatment, but that his sense of shame may have led him l to commit suicide.

TO KNIFE THE WARDEN
Perry Did Not Crave Liberty,
 But Revenge.
HIS LEASE OF FREEDOM WAS BRIEF.

Rccaptured Within the Prison Walls
 Struck Down by a Guard. and. 1t is Re
 ported, Fatally Tnjured-The Escape
 Excitement at Lyons Among Those
 Whom He Threatened to Kill.
 AUBURN, N. Y., Oct. 4.-It was 8 Curtis Perry enjoyed after his escape from his cell.
 He was captured inside the prison wall, and the only result of his desperate at tempt to escape is to make his condition more miserable.
 After escaping from the wing in which his cell was located, Perry boldly crossed the prison yard and hid in the basement of the broom shop, where Convict John son was murdered by 8 fellow prisoner only a few weeks ago.
 When the night had sufficiently ad- vanced for the darkness to conceal his movements, Perry tried to gain access to the broom shop. It was closely guarded, however, and he next proceeded to the marble shop. Here again he was frus- trated in his attempt to gain admittance, the guards were on the alert, and his efforts attracted their attention.
 Perry started to run as soon as he found that his presen, was discovered. He went directly to the collar shop, where large number of knives are kept, the fugltive's one idea seeming to be to secure a weapon of some kind.
 As he neared the collar shop he was seen by Keeper Tunis, who stood in the shadow of the building. When within ten feet of the guard, Perry was chal- lenged and ordered to halt. He did not obey and the guard fired shot from his rifle over the convict's head.
 This had no effect upon Perry, other than to change the course in which he was running and to increase his speed. His change of direction was faUal, how ever as it caused him to pass within reach of Keeper Smith, who, without waiting to challenge the fleeing man, struck him over the head with his heavy night stick.
 So powerful was the blow that the cane was broken, and Perry was stretched un- conscious at the keepers feet, the blood | flowing freely from deep wound. Perry was at once taken to the dungeon where | he will be confined for some time to come without even the comfort of a board l to rest upon.
 It is said that after his capture Perry | told Warden Durston that it was not llDeIGy Ae SouSuCJ OuG dH opportunity GO stick knife into him. He has conceived q deep hatred for the Warden during hi | long confinement in the screen cell. The instrument which Perry used to | dig through the wall of his cell was the | iron leg of his bedstead, which he had managed to loosen from it's fastening. After the willy little desperado had been safely lodged in dungeon the ex | tra guards were relieved.
 Warden Durston assembled them in the keepers hall and in an address warned them not to discuss the matter of Perry's escape and capture in public. l Despite these precautions, however, the particulars have transpired.
 | A rumor is in circulation that Perry was very seriously hurt by Keeper | smiths blow, and that death may re l suit. The rumor cannot be confirmed.

SEIZED AN AMERICAN BARK.
The Cape Horn Pigeon Taken Into Vlad
 vosto1k by Russian Officer.


 vost01k by 2 Russian Officer.
 SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 24.-The whaling bark Cape Horn Pigeon, belonging to the firm of J. & w. R. Wing, of New Bed, ford, Mass, was seized by a Russian naval officer commanding the confiscated sealing schooner Marie on Sep. 10.
 The bark was in the southern part o1 Okhotsk Sea, only S4 miles from lturupI an island belonging to Japan.
 The cause for seizure, as given by the Russian officer, was for whaling in Ok. hotsk Sea, which was closed and belonged to Russia. The crew of the Cape Horn Pigeon were sent to Vladivostok in the Marie in charge of their first mate, ana the Russians took possession of the bark and took her to the same port. The Marie arrived on Sep. 15, and the Cape Horn Pigeon on Sep. 19.
 Directly after the arr ival of the latter vessel her crew was taken from the schooner aud put on shore, with no food or shelter. They were unable to get sat isfaction from the police authorities and lived for five days in the storehouse of a charitable Chinaman, who gave them food and lodging. The master of the Cape Horn Pigeon sent a telegram to the United States Minister at St. Petersburg, and a cable message to the owners of the vessel.
 A protest against the illegal seizure was presented to the Governor General and one to the Admiral of the port, The United States steamship Marion was in the harbor and her commanding officer sent a protest to Vice Admiral Tystor commanding all the Russian naval force on1 that station. The Cape Horn Pigeon was restored to her master on Sep. 25 and the Vice-Admiral told him that the seizure was a mistake in the judg ment on the part of the commanding officer of the Marie.
 The bark is to be held until the clain for damages againsG the Russian govern ment has been presented and the receipt acknowledged by the Vice Admiral. The claim is to be final, an agreement being made that no further claims would hs presented. The claim has been sent in and is for $4,9S5. twill be settled ill St. Petersburg.
