Did you ever notice when a lua,,

while putting down a carpet under
his wife's supervision how quickly
he thrusts the bruised and throbbinc

think it is because the application is
soothing. But the movement is pure

The fact is that nature knows what

with an automatic stopper. When.

E1royo the Now Vorly Times

San Francisco, Nov. 15.-The ten Rus
sian convicts who escaped from Siberia
and were brought here under arrest by
two whaling vessels issued an appeal to-
day to the dear United States people, -
in which they detail what would become
of them if they were returned to Siberia.
They say they will be starved, loaded
with chains. and lashed.
1T is so cold there the appeal says,
that blood will freeze on the ground and
look like red ice. 1t will be our fate to
work at night in the woods carrying
great trees. If we don't walk fast and cut
fast with axes they will fog US again
Then sores come, and in a few weeks we
will die. While we are working and dying
slowly, we will be starved because we
have got away to your country. No man
in Saghalin eats so much in seven days as
one man in your prison eats in one day
Rather than 90 back to Russia we would
stay in your jails.'

Paris correspondence tells of the extra

as entertainers. There was "A great deal
of talk before the Russians arrived as to

recipe that was adopted for rendering
Russian guests happy:
IF YOU invite a Russian TO dinner make
a point Of 0 Tering him before he takes his
scat at the table certain hors d'Guyres,
and, above all, do not forget to accompany
these with dram Of spirits. The
stronger the latter the higher the Russian
guest will esteem his entertainer. who
must pour the cognac out himself,
not into a liquor glass, but
into a Bordeaux glass. and it
is indispensable that he should
drain the entire bumper to the
health of his guest before the latter has
time TO put his glass 10 his lips. Each
time you make a speech at dinner, or at
anV repast, be careful to have your glass
filed 10 the brim before you begin speak
! ing, and the moment you have concluded
your remarks drain your glass to the very
last drop at gllp, since, if the slightest
heeltap remains, it means in the eyes Of
the Russians that your remarks have

This was followed to the letter. The

ingly, but the French fell fast, and a let

VIRGINIA WINS AT FOOT BALL.
The Score AGAINST the Georgetown
Eleven 50 to o.

ELEVEN 90 TO y.
Washington. Nov 17-At the National
Base Ball Park this afternoon, the, Uni
versity of Virginia and the Georgetown
College foot ball elcyens played the sec
ond game of the series of two for the
championship of the south. the score
beng IS to in favor of Virginia. There
was an attendance of over 800 people,
including a large number of ladies.
The yellow ribbon of Virginia was very
prominent, and from what could be dis
tinguished in the noise made, it seemed
as if the Virginia element in the crowd
predominated
The weather was all that could be de
sired, and for two rty-hve-minute-
halves the teams played a hard, rough
game.
The flying wedge which Georgetown
has heretofore used with much effect
against other teams was of no avail to-
day, and only once did Georgetown get
nearer than ten yards to the goal, and
then the ball was lost ON tumble.
Virginia sent men through George
town S center for big gains and Harper
in the first half with the ball in George
town territory took the ball on double
| pass and made a great run for sixty Yards
Again in the second half lie made run
! for seventy yards, AT the end of the first
| half the score stood: Virginia 30
| GeOrgetown'0.
! The interference of Virginia through
out the game was superb and showed
excellent training. Pope carried the ball
over the line for touchdown four times
1t cannot be said of Georgetown that her
| players lacked nerve or energy, for they
bucked the line 1ercely, but Virginia s
men were always punched near the ball
and nothing could move them Early in
the season the University of Pennsyl-
vania played here and only made score
of - to 0 against Georgetown, and this
goes to show how magnihcently Virginia
played

RESCUED AND SPANKED.
A Mothers Change of Heart Upon the
Rescue of Her Baby.
From the Cumberland Md News.

>
Quite an amusing though dangerous
scene was witnessed on the towpath on
Monday afternoon by a few who happened
in the vicinity Of the canal bridge al that
time. 1t was about 1870 O'Clock when a
boat heavily laden with coal, drawn bv
three lazy-looking. well-fed mules. pulled
under that structure. On the dock sat
the captain, putting away at a short pipe.
A woman, evidently his wife, was at the
tiller steering. A small child. aged per
haps years played at her feet Occa-
sionally it would crawl TO the side of the
| boat, and the mother would promptly Jerk
it back.
A cycler coming up the towpath dis
| tracted the mules, and they started OF
| rather rapidly, carrying the boat in close
to the shore. The WOMAN was compelled
to take her attention from the child and
| devote all her energies to the difficult
task Of keeping the boat from bounding
against the bank. While she was thus
engaged the kid Travelled over to the edge
of the boat and was fired overheard by its
swaying motion.
The mother heard the splash. and
dropping the tiller, would have Jumped
after it, but the man was quicker, and in
a twinkling had the little one on board
again in its mothers arms, soaking wet
and crying. For a moment she fondled il
and pressed it TO her b east; then. with
sudden change of cOuntenance, Topped Il
over her knee and administered a severe
spanking upon the most tender portion Of
a baby's anatomy. When the castigation
was concluded she disappeared into the
ca bin. and in short while reappeared.
