Sing Sing, April 2l,-Murderers
Thomas Pallister and Frank w, Rohle'
both under sentence of death, have es-
caped from the condemned cells OF Sing
Sing prison. The discovery was made
at $40 o'clock this morning. When
Guard Glynn entered the condemned
cell building as usual at that hour he
was astonished at discovering the two
night watchmen locked in the murder
ers' cells. When the guards were re-
leased they told remarkable story.
Guard Hulse said that at 7 o'clock he
passed supper into Pallister. The con-
demned man threw handful OF pepper
into the guards eyes.
Hulse was blinded and Pallister rush
ed on him, took his revolver away from
him and under threats Of death forced
Hulse into his (Pallister's) cell, first
taking the keys away from him. He
then locked Hulse in the cell and un-
locked the cell of Murderer Frank
Rohle. The two murderers then un-
locked the cells of Carlyle w. Harris
and Murderer Osmond. g
They invited these two to escapewilh
them. Both Harris and Osmond refus-
ed the offer to escape. Both Pallister
and Rohle waited until 8 o'clock, when
Guard Murphy came on duty. AS
Murphy entered the corridor Pallister
presented his pistol at Murphy's head,
and taking his keys away from him,
locked him in Rohle's cell. Pallister
took Guard Hulse's shoes and cap away
from him and put them on himself.
Threatening to kill the guards if they
made any cutlery, the two murderers
climbed to the top of the cells and
knocked off the scuttle in the roof. In
this way they got on the roof, climbed
down into the yard and made their es-
cape, whether by the river OF over the
walls was not known this morning. The
stormy night facilitated their escape.
As soon as the escape was reported
Warden Brown sent out his men to
scour the country. 1t is supposed Pal
lister had been saving the pepper given
him daily with his meals, with the OBJ
ject of escape in view.
Both men were dressed in dark suits
of prison-made clothes, not the regular
convict dress. Rohle wore slippers;
Pallster had on the guards shoes when
they escaped. 1t is believed Rohle is
bareheaded. Pallister and Rohle car
ried with them the two revolvers they
took from Guards Hulse and Murphy.
Rohle is 26 years old and German
by birth. Pallister is an Irishman 81
years of age. Pallister murdered
Policeman Adam Kane of New York
city and Rohle killed an old man.

How to Grow a Successful Crop of These
Valuable Roots.

How to Grow Successful Crop of These
Valuable Roots.
Farmers as well as dairymen wer
long ago convinced of the great value Oh
root crops for feeding to stock. Here is
plan for growing mangolds, described
by successful stockgrower in letter
to Country Gentleman. He says;
The quantity of seed needed is six
pounds to the acre, if sown by drill, but
half as much if sown by hand. The seed
is best sown by hand sower, such as the
Planet, Jr., or others of the same kind
that may be changed by addition Of
needed parts to hand cultivator. The
crop may be sown on a good corn stub
BILE, but it would be advisable to give il
two plowings, SO that the soil is mellow
and fine. The fertilizer is sown after
the final narrowing. The drilling of the
seed will mix it with the soil better than
the harrow would. When everything lie
ready by the fore part of May it is time
for the sowing. This is done most easily
by the hand drill, which leaves roller
mark behind it by which the rows may
be seen conspicuously when it is desired
to start the cultivator. The rows are 81
inches apart, and by setting the drill
right, which may be tested on barn
floor, the seed may be dropped three
inches apart or less. The drill covers the
seed and rolls the ground over it.
When weeds begin to appear, com
mon cultivator or small. light sloping
tooth harrow is run in the rows close to
the middle, but not over the seed. This
early cultivation is the main point, and
if it is neglected the weeds get too thick
and large on good soil and cover up the
young beets, making the labor of the then
necessary hand hoeing more than the
crop is worth. When the beets come w
in the rows, they may be thinned out by
a common hoe, made sharp and bright.
so that clean work may be done with it.
My plan is to take the hand cultivator,
set 10 inches wide or less, and run it
across the two rows, leaving strips tire.
or four inches wide, by which punches OF
plants are left in the rows, and it makes
very little hand wedding. or none at all.
necessary.
AS the beets grow they may be thinned
again, but have found that when two
plants are growing close together they
may be left undisturbed and will be as
large as the single ones Some of the
young plants may be moved carefully tc
fill any vacancies in the rows When the
crop has got good start, the leaves meet
in the rows and save work in wedding,
but the cultivator should be kept at work
as long as the leaves permit. No Other
crop grows faster than this by thorough
stirring of the ground. and none is SO
much injured by weeds. have sown the
salt after the first working and before
the young plants appear. The long red
mangold is an excellent root, being ten
der and sweet and more easily bitten to
pieces by stock of all kinds than the
yellow globe. have found this to be a
convenience in feeding them. Where not
more than five bushels day are fed they
may be chopped up in box by sharp
spade about as easily as by machine
cutter.

1t Would be a Convenience

Farmers Advocate:
We need fractional paper currency
for convenience of RENTING small sums
through the mails, without being oblig-
ed to pay a commission of five to fifty
per cent to the post Office or express
companies for money orders or postal
notes. And besides that, there are
many towns where there are no express
Offices or money order Offices, and there
is absolutely no way in which fractional
amounts can be sent from such places
except by sending silver The old
fractional currency currency was a
great convenience, and the fimsy OBJ
lection that it was sometimes torn or
dirty is not worthy of consideration. 1t
will be some time before Congress will
assemble again. but it is none too soon
to begin to urge the necessity of prompt
action on this matter which is one of
great importance. We hope the press
of the whole country will unite in clam
oring for this desideratum and continue
to demand it till we get it.

A Two-cent job.
St. Johnsbury Republican:

tCt' oohhopuig ieoPuphS"h'
The Vermont building atthe Worlds
Fair is not a structure to be proud OF,
it appears. One Vermonter saw it
the other day, describes it as IA sort of
hen coop" He says that after it was
pointed out to HIM, he pulled his hat
down over his face, and let nobody
know that he was from Vermont, as
long as he was in the vicinity Of the
building. Another Vermonter says it is
a foolish, little, meaningless structure,
collection of anachronisms and alb
surdities." The moral would seem to
be that a two-cent policy isn't always
the wisest one to follow.

Sir Humphrey Davy, who diedin 1929,
really discovered the arc method of cleo
trio lighting practically as it is used
today. He describes how if two pieces
of charcoal are placed near together
and an electrical current is brought to
bear on them there will be produced "a
most brilliant ascending arch of light"
But, like so many other discoveries of
vast commercial Importance, the produce
ton Of this brilliant arc light remained
only an interesting scientific expert
ment. Edison made the experiment
commercially valuable, and Edison is as
great a man as Sir Humphry Davy. If
that renowned scientist can now look
down upon some of our illuminated
cities at night, how angry he must feel
at himself for the chance he missed!

That moles, scars, tumors, cancers,

Of an electrically heated wire the public
Is already more or less aware. That the
interior of mans body may be so lit
up that he will present somewhat the
appearance of an old fashioned lantern
with a dim light burning inside has also
been asserted frequently, but the process
Of accomplishing this is not familiar.
1t is done by electric lights which, on
small scale, are like those that shine
upon poles and towers. A small electric
light bulb at the end of long tube is
inserted into patients stomach. The
button is pressed, and his stomach be-
comes luminous. BY an arrangement
Of mirrors the physician is able to see
the inside coats of the stomach itself and
determine what kind Of dyspepsia that
man has, whether it was brought on by
free lunches or overindulgence in hard
work.
Whenever the blood is perfectly
healthy it is bright red and clear. Ii
the hand is held up before a light, the
light will shine through it clear and semi.
transparent unless there is some wound
or eruption; then the fingers will look
dark, and the semitransparency will moi
be manifest. So the unhealthy stomach
looks thick and dark and will not let the
light shine clear and red through it
This is true of every part Of the body
Wherever there is cancer, tumor Oh
anything that thickens and darkens the
bright red muscular tissue, or wherever
there is a foreign body in the stomach, il
can be discerned in moment by this
searchlight of the human anatomy.

FRIDAY MORNING, APR. %, 1893.
Rev. Jenkin LLOYD Jones Of Chicago,

Rev. Jenkin Lloyd Jones Of Chicago,
who evidently has some Welsh blood In
him, has proposed new way to destroy
slums and sweater shops. He would
have brilliant electric lights placed in
every dirty alley. Next he would tear
down every high board fence which
shuts off filthy, disease breeding tene-
ments and yards from the public eye
and lay bare all the foulness and pollu-
ton. Then city governments would
have to take cognizance of the matter
or there would be change of admins

Mr.. de Navarro's Plan.

New York people are nothing if not
modest. Mr.. Jose F. de Navarro sets
forth in The Forum his plan for the
keeping of gold and silver at parity.
Briefly it is to have sliding scale of sill
yer values for United States money, con-
trolled from day to day by the price of
silver bullion in the gold market. A
silver commission would settle every day
at what rate the United States govern
ment should pay out silver next day for
the redemption of silver notes, when it
came to the pinch where the treasurer
would have to redeem the silver notes in
silver instead Of gold.
The three commissioners should be ap-
pointed by the United States govern
ment, but they should be proposed-and
here is where the characteristic modesty
OF New York comes in-one by the New
York chamber of commerce, another by
the New York banks clearing house
and the third by the New York Stock
Exchange. How this jiggle joggle scale
would work in the paying of wages
and the purchase of dry goods and gro
ceries Mr.. de Navarro does not take the
trouble to explain very fully. He would,
however, have the monthly purchases of
silver by the government stopped, there
being in his Judgment sufficient sup
ply now on hand. lie explains his idea
thus:
The United States legal tender silver notes
now in circulation are payable on demand at
all the subtreasuries either in gold or silver
coin, at the option of the government The sec
rotary OF the treasury is recommended In the
act to pay them in gold as long as he thinks 1t
prudent and he has always done SO, but since
he began the price of silver has been steadily
going down, from about "a cents to "a cents for
the standard silver dollar, and people realize
now that the secretary will be compelled soon
to pay them in silver In order to keep the gold
In the treasury. Now, my remedy is simply to
hmend this act of July IA, 1890, by adding that
when paid in silver the notes shall be paid on a
(old basis, reckoning the silver at the govern
ment's gold price on the day of payment, as
txed by commission to be appointed under
the act.
To take an example of silver conversion: A
banker wishes to transfer to Europe S1,OG0OOO
by shipment of specie in lieu of exchange and
decides to send gold. He takes certified check
Of Sl,OOO,OOO to the treasury to get the gold as
usual, but the secretary, contrary to his GUS
tom, decides to pay it in silver and hands him
silver check Of S1,5G2 500 at GA cents-S1, CO.,
700 gold. The banker may decide to ship the
silver, but if not he goes to his bullion broker
and gets Sl,0O0,00O gold by paying him with the
silver check and In addition u per cent COM
nission-,s 81, 300 making loss Of "a per cent
instead OF loss of 81 per cent as under the
present law. The treasurer viii always be
ready to buy his own silver checks at the same
eay's price, and this will complete the above
aouble transaction. This one example en-
braces all the transactions possible ever to hap
pen-namely. payment of notes in silver and
purchases Of silver in notes
