CRAZY MAN AT BAY.
For Nearly Three Hours He Exchanged
 shots With a Crowd.


 WATKINS DEPOT, \. Y, Nov. l3.-Amos Forester. aged about r, broke into and ransacked the residence of Henry Losey, who lived nearly across the road from him, but in Yates county. Forester is a man who has been confined in Willard State Hospital for the Insane and has long been feared in Tyrone.
 When Losey discovered what had been done, he at once went to Forrester's house. the ball passing entirely through his body and coming out of his back. The injured man was carried to his home and a sur geon summoned, who found that the wound was serious one.
 After the shooting Forester locked him self in his house and defied arrest. Very soon a crowd of fully 200 people had gath cred, but no one dared to attempt his ar rest. In the course of two or three hours, in which time he had exchanged several shots with the crowd, the building in some way caught fire, and he was forced to come out.
 He ran to corner of the fence, still hold ing a revolver in each hand. and tearing down boards and rails built a barricade, be hind which he defended himself for an hour. During this time a young lad in the crowd received flesh wound in the arm, and Forester himself was wounded twice, ball passing through one ear and lodging in his right hand. A constable from Dun. dee finally induced him 10 surrender to Deputy Sheriff Finlan of Reading Center.

RerinnlnE Inie In Life.

''I still maintain that d person enter ing profession late ill life has no future to speak of" said one gentleman to an- other as they sat chatting in suburban train speeding along the lake front. Il really do not see how that k relevant, was the answer. Every one is sure of the present; no one of the future, no matter what time of life he or she has reached. When this woman graduated from the law school a few years ago, the fact that you shook your head and said that it was absurd made me interested to see what she. whose children were grown when she began the study of law, would accomplish.
 In five years she has built up busi- ness which makes her independent finan- cially, which Is more than usually ac- complished by able and brilliant young men. Whatever her future may be. her present is all right, and she has alum dantly demonstrated that a woman may begin life in professional way when she has reached middle age and make q success of it. I really didn't think she would, but she has, and in doing so has demonstrated what can be done by any woman providing she has grit, energy and fair ability. More often late than early ill life women find themselves with out occupation or means of support. and it surely is an unmixed good if they car take up some congenial occupation bN means of which they can make a living.

A Bargain Driven by Emerson.

We were speaking of Emerson, and had shown my idolatry of that sweet Athenian Yankee, when my friend said: 'There is no question that Ralph Waldo Emerson was grand old American Socrates, or Plato if you will, but much of the starch of my veneration for hin. was taken ont by the way he once con tended with the newsdealer at the Cause way street end of the Fitchburg depot for the reduction of the price of Boston evening daily paper because it was of the issue of a day or two previous. It re- minded me of the huckstering I wit messed ill a bakeshop some time before, where a woman insisted on having a 5-cent loaf for cents because it was two days old. and finally, after wordy con- tention with the worthy white capped baker. compromised by paying l cents 1 for the bread.
 Ralph, the venerable, had the cour- i age of his mercenary convictions and in- sisted for time on having cent reduc- ton on the price of the paper.

A ROUGH VOYAGE.
The UmbrIa's Last Trip Across Enlivened
 by Terrific Storms.

QUEENsTowN, Nov. 13. - The Cunard steamship lmbria, Captain Dutton, has arrived here after cncountering terrific weather in her passage across the Atlantic. Captain Dutton and his officers, referring to the voyage, said that they encountered the most severe weather they ever expert enced on the ocean.
 The Umbria, after leaving the coast wa ters of the United States, experienced fear ful northerly and easterly gales, accompa- nied by tremendous head seas, which was the state of affairs until the steamer reached Queenstown, where the tender was unable. owing to the heavy weather pre- vailing, to meet the transatlantic liner and take off her mails and passengers for points in Ireland. Consequently the Um- bria was obliged to steam into the harbor and let go her anchor before the passengers and mails could be transferred.
 On Wednesday last the wind blew with cyclonic force, and several heavy seas were shipped. One green 'un' which came aboard smashed couple of the saloon port hpbrS

DEADLY BRAZIL.
Peixoto's Recruits wm Re Met by Yellow
 Fever and Smallpox.

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-An American who has only recently returned from Brazil after long residence in that country, when interviewed on the subject of the risks be ing taken by Americans who were enlist ing for service on the Brazilian fleet now being fitted out at this port by the agents of Peixoto, said: Tt is an outrage to enlist men at this season of the year to go to Brazilian ports, even if peace was reignin9 there. The yellow fever season commences at just about this time, and a month hence it will be raging furiously throughout all the section where the fighting will take place. venture to predict that at least SO per cent of the men going down on the Brazilian fleet will never return alive, even should they be 50 fortunate as to escape the bullets and torpedoes of the iusurgent fleet.
 Even in times of peace in Rio de Janeiru and Santos, Americans going ashore dur ing the months from November to March inclusive cannot, as a general rule, with stand the intense tropical heat.
 Besides the heat there are the sicken- ing sights one meets daily in the very thor Oughfares of these two cities. The funerals of the victims of yellow f,Ner. smallpox and berri berri. a species of African lep- rosy. are seen at the turning of almost ev- cry street. have frequently seen new ar rivals among my own countrymen in the full vigor of youth and health pass away almost between the rising and the setting of the sun.
 Tt is not the climate and the prevailing epidemics that are mostly to be feared. The most painful and narrowing reminis- cences in my mind consist of what have seen of the indifferent brutality of the Brazilian authorities toward foreigners.
 al have personal knowledge of the fact that two Americans, employees of firm of American gun manufacturers, and who were sent to Brazil on business for their company met their death through the un- scrupulous and inhuman neglect of Brazil ian health authorities. Tl.rse men were taken ill packed off to one of the hospitals as yellow fever patients, their cases pro nounced hopeless and thrust against all entreaty into their collins and buried be- fore life had become extinct"

 JACKSONVILLE, Fla, Nov. l3.-For near ly a week past a young man named Walker has been on trial at Orlando for complicity in the murder of old man Marot in June last Saturday he was acquitted on rath. CT doubtful alibi. An Orlando special says: The sequel to the acquittal of Walker occurred when mob went to the jail and attempted to gain access, apparently in tending to shoot Walker in his cell.
 All the afternoon excited men gathered ou street corners and discussed the verdict. After nightfall men began collecting from the neigh borhood of the Crime-Senerally on horseback and armed with Shotguns.
 They raided the foundry and captured a number of slcdge hammers and crowbar> and started for the jail, intending to beat a hole in the wall and gain access to the COT ridor, whence they could readily shoot the prisoner
 Sheriff Anderson hurriedly gathered 2 few men and prepared to guard the jail while he sent word 10 Judge Bryant to or der out the militia. The mob came up eN' pecting no real resistance, but when they found the jail guarded by the militia they were hampered by the lack of q leader Finally the mob dispersed. The guards re- maincd under arms till morning. The mol was composed not only of the best citizens on the line of the F. C. and F. railroad, but many good citizens of Orlando. IL is high ly probable that Walker will be tried again.

Bloody Sundays Anniversary.

CHICAGO, Nov. lS.-Services in commem- oration of the death of the five anarchists Spies, Parsons, Lingg, Fisher and Engel- were held at the monument erected to their memory in Waldhcim cemetery. In spite of leaden sky, from which cold rain fell steadily throughout the day, the services st the graves were attended by nearly 2,500 persons. The occasion was made notable by the fact that Samuel Fielden, Michael Schwab and Oscar Neebe, the comrades of the executed anarchists, who were sen fenced to Joliet, but pardoned out recently by Governor Altgeld. were present at the grave two of them, Fielden and Schwab, being the orators of the day.
 When Fielden, Neebe and Schwab were pardoned, it was said to be "a condition oi their release that they should make nc more anarchistic speeches" but they made them nevertheless. The ceremonies at the cemetery were preceded by procession, which marched through some of the down town streets. No red flags were carried but each organization participating in the parade carried a floral emblem adorned profusely with red ribbon, upon the stream CTS of which were the usual anarchistic in scriptions in German.
