Period of Liberty.
SPRINGFIELD, Mass, March 24-Mrs. F..
G. Kelsey, who is known by a dozen aliases
and who escaped a week ago from Mrs.
Dean, the Pittsfield police matron, has been
captured here.
She effected her recent escape bywalking
eight miles to Dalton before morning and
boarding an early train for this place. Mrs.
Kelsey, who is a rather prepossessing look
ing woman about 80 years old, was for
merly known to the Boston and New York
authorities as Mrs. Emma Coan, under
which name she hourished between 1879
and 1882.
Mrs. Kelsey's favorite method Of operat-
ing was to furnish a house on credit and
suddenly depart, after mortgaging the
property.

1yrian Glass.

An uncommonly interesting col
lection of Tyrian glass has come to
town. 1t resembles in most particu-
lars the collection of the same glass
in the Metropolitan museum of art,
and is supposed to belong TO the
period of 800 years before Christ.
Some of the pieces still bear the
stains of rust which they held when
buried with the Tyrian kings, and
others show the scratches made by
knives of copper and bronze. 1t is
even asserted that some show traces
Of the perfumes with which the
Tyrians were accustomed to enrich
their wines, but as for this there is
room for skepticism. The glass is
marvelously light, and some of the
vessels are beautiful in form, but the
presence OF air bubbles in even the
finest specimens seems TO show that
the Tyrians had not fully conquered
the art Of glass-blowing. A skilled
glass blower who saw the collection
says, however, that some of the
effects obtained are beyond the power
of his craft to-day.-New York Sun

Bass cheeks is the very latest gas.
Economical novelty. They do not
figure on cafe menus yet and are
found only at the most gorgeous and
extravagant private dinners. The
dish comes very high because it
takes about ton of bass TO furnish a
small dish of cheeks. The cheek of a
bass is tiny nugget of the teuderest
and most delicately favored meat,
found on the lower part of the head
on either side This is lifted out and
The remainder of the bass is tossed
away. One Philadelphia hotel man
las achieved a reputation in this city
and New York by his preparation of
bass cheeks, and every time he re-
ceives a big order no creates a cor
ner in the bass market. -Philadel-

tain to be generated If this world

TIMID people should not get fright
ened because there are several fugi-

the most harmless man possible is a
fleeing murderer. There is nothing
SO fearful to him as the sight of a

murder in their hearts, but which
they have not yet committed; and
have no fear of men whose murders
are accomplished and who are fleeing
from justice.

A New Idea In the way of Political

The Spanish regard for a fine

Gus as the toreadors says the Youth 5
Companion. According to report
in . Spanish paper this regard for
the bull was put 10 very new and
singular use in a town OF tile province
Of Toledo recently. An election was
being held in the little town OF Orc.
pesa. where the rnini5teriaIists o.
government party. and the Carlists.
or Spanish .oldIincrs were nearly
Of equal strength. Each party. there
fore. was trying to prevent the other
from polling its full vote
The polling had gone on without
any apparent majority on either side
until nearly the end Of the day All
ut once all parties were greatly inter.
ested in the appearance Of superb
bull lead by q countryman. exactly
before the door Of the voting booth.
Every body took an interest in him
Presently il was observed that as
certain voters approached the door
OF the booth the bull made luDge
toward them Ibis frightened them
so that they took to their heels and
did not dare to approach the door
again.
Tut when certain other voters came
up the bull stepped back politely and
let them enter. In course time it
turned out that all tho voters who
had been frightened away were nm
istefiaIists and all those who had boon
allowed to vote were artists.
w en- it was too late to change the
result. and the CarIi5ts bad carried
the day in ropesa it came out that
the supposed countryman was a raj
ist 'heeter' in disguise and that by
means OF braided stick concealed
under his Moving cape. he goaded
the bull forward whenever minis
terialist approached and urged him
backward when II Carlist hove in
