A DESPERATE CHARACTER.

The arrest Of Perrigo, the thug and
desperado, Aug. 3, after a hand to-
hand encounter with Chief Dumas and
two or three other officers, makes an
other clever capture by our police,
and maintains their reputation as the
best and bravest Of the guardians Of
the peace in this part Of the country.
This Perrigq is the same man that
assaulted late Sheriff Barton, from the
effects of which he afterwards died,
and then Perrigo with other prison
ers, escaped from the jail, but he was
subsequently captured after making a
trip to Europe, and was sentenced to
seven years imprisonment at Wind
sor but was pardoned out some three
or four years ago through the exer-
ton of few influential friends. J.
His present escapade began with
drunken carousal Thursday, July 26,
during which he visited the night
lunch cart and after getting some re-
freshments, rendered So bill in pay
ment, and while change was being
made he seized the bill and some 50 of
the change and started on run. He
was pursued by officer Salisbury, who
tried to arrest him in City Hall Park,

A Blind Girls Sense of Touch.

Constant practice indeed has given tc
Helen Keller's sense of touch a delicacy
and precision seldom attained even by
the blind. Sometimes it seems as if hel
very soul were in her fingers, she finds
SO much to interest her everywhere. PEG.
pie frequently said to me at the fair
"She sees more with her fingers than we
do with our eyes" And in one of he1
letters she says, 81 am like the people
my dear friend Dr. Holmes tells about
with eyes in their fingers that spy out
everything interesting and take hold OF
it as the magnet picks out iron filings"
Descriptions are to Helen what paint.
ings are to us, and her well trained i'm.
agination gives the light and color. One
evening as we sat in a gondola L tried
to tell Helen how the thousands of tiny
electric lights were reflected in the wa.
ter of the lagoons, when she asked,
''Does it look as if a shower of golden
fish had been caught in an invisible net?'
Is it any wonder that DR.. Holuses says
of her, ''She is a poet whose Tyre was
taken from her in her early youth, but
whose soul is full OF music
So we see, pathetic as Helen's life must
always seem to those who enjoy the
blessings of sight and hearing, that it is
yet full of brightness and cheer, courage
and hope.-St. Nicholas.

DIED.

In Portland. Me-, Aug. II, Dea. Geo. II. Cook
formerly Of Craftsbury, aged 50 years and
months.
In Bloomington, Aug. 8, OF peritonitis, Miss
Bernice Guild aged IA years.
In the death of Miss Bernice Guild. the
home has lost bright light, the church a
promising worker, and the whole community
an intelligent warm hearted young spirit.
Miss Guild vas advanced beyond her years i'm
many rare qualities OF heart and mind. She
excelled i'm the knowledge OF scripture both
in letter and spirit, receiving a diploma of
merit when twelve years OF age, from the
American Institute of Sacred Literature.
She was gifted a writer and a spec ker.
Her life was pure and spotltss. She died an
she had lived calm and peaceful; and when
she knew that she could not get well she felt
no fear for she knew no guilt. Like a bright
star she went down only to rise on some
brighter shore.
Her funeral was largely attended, especial
ly by the young people, at her home, and the
flowers and the tears were alike tokens of the
sorrow that was deep and universal.
The family are stricken with great grief,
because of great les, and they have the
sympathy of a large circle OF friends.

but Perrigo drew revolver and the
officer escaped. This was Thursday
night, and on Friday morning two or
three other officers took up the chase
and the desperate was finally captur-
ed in ST. Joseph's cemetery, though
not until after he was dubbed into
submission He is kept in close con-
finement, not being allowed the priv
ileges Of the corridor with the other
prisoners, as it is feared he would
make another attempt to escape. At
ter conviction, if he receives the full
penalty of the law, he will be impris
oned for life, and there is no likeli
hood of his being pardoned again. :

The Chicago Girls First Inquiry.

Recently young gil from Chicago, a
college student, upon her first visit TO
Boston, was invited to begin her tour of
inspection in company with an elderly
Boston lady, who instinctively selected
the route according to her ideas of what
would be worth showing, and conse-
quently began at what proved to be the
wrong end for the desired impression
upon the Chicago mind. In other words,
She did mot select the Back Bay costli-
ness and did select the district of histor.
ical interest, which interest she at once
found herself called upon to bring into
high relief as an offset to the damaging
comparison of the city's poorly planned
streets, with those of other cities within
the western girls acquaintance. The
lady began to have twinges of misgiving
as to her success in the character of a
guide to Boston, but directed the steps
of the pair to Park street and at the
most favorable point of observation call
ed attention tic, our statehouse, her heart
swelling with pride. There was an i'm
pressiIe pause, and then from the Chica,
go girl:
..How much did it cost?"
The elderly Boston lady did not re-
member to have reai.-BosIcn Tran
