in the humble depot Of what is known as "a

gated sentences imposed upon Eve negroes,
Sam Shellman. John Lee, Robert Cummings.
John Williams and Dempsey Gray. who
robbed J. s. Collius & Co. q store Of q num-
Der Of turkeys on the night of Jan. Q. The
offense constituted burglary. because the
negroes forced an entrance into the estab-
lishment.
Shellman, Lee and Cummings pleaded
guilty TO the charge OF the Indictment, but
q plea Of larceny from the house OF goods
under the value of $50 was accepted from
Dempsey Gray, in view OF the fact that he
was not with the gang when the burglary
was committed. but atterward shared IN the
spoils. Williams went to trial and was
convicted. Cummings, Shellmau and Wilt
Jams were given five years each, Lee got or
with three years because he has but one
arm, and Gray was sent to the chain-gang
for twelve months.
Henry Middleton, the toeless negro burg
lar who entered houses by digging away
the fire hearths pleaded guilty to the charge
OF burglary in the hopes of getting of with
a light sentence, but he was little sur
prised when Judge Falligant gave him ten
years at hard labor. Middleton consoled
himself with the thought that term Of
service in the Georgia penitentiary can be
no worse than ona in the South Carolina
institution. something which he has already
experienced.

During the agrarian riots. which dis
turbed England in 1851. . mob of rick
burners and machine breakers appeared
at the old mansion of two elderly maiden
ladies. The walls OF the hall were deco
rated with suits Of armor and antique
weapons-pikes. halberds swords and
battleaxes. The mob clamored for the
weapons. The ladies refused their de-
mands. and when the mob seemed ready
to resort to violence Miss Betty, the
elder OF the ladies, went up TO the lead
er, hideous looking man, and said:
"You, too, of all the people in the
worldY I'm not surprised at these pooi
misguided creatures But that such a
good looking. intelligent man as you
should attack two defenseless women
does astonish mel You are the man
should have looked to for protection
But you are not the man took you fori
Never again win trust to good looksi''
There was no standing up against that
compliment. The man took off his hat,
and said; Come, old lady, we aint SO
bad as all thati We would not harm a
hair of your headI"
"No; I know that" retorted Miss
Betty. "You can't; wear wigr"

tired without another word.-Youth's

Cutting Ice by Electricity.

A new departure in ice cutting has
been proposed by man who contends
that 1t is quite practicable to cut the ice
by means of wire, heated electrically.
His plan is to install portable steam
and dynamo plant at some convenient
point ON the shore, near to the ice har-
vesting operations, and run from the
dynamo suitable steel wire Of the re-
quired length with a proper return. By
generating sufficient current to main
tain the temperature in the wire at about
200 degs., and by stretching the wire
taut along the surface of the ice a
means of cutting through the mass
