CuIlom and Proctor.

There is a brisk competition between
Senator Proctor OF Vermont and Senator
Cullom of Illinois as to which of the two
looks the more like Lincoln. For years
the Illinois man has proudly claimed
the distinction of most resembling the
great martyred president of any one in
Washington, and there has been none to
dispute. But since Senator Proctor has
shaved off his flowing beard there are a
new set of Lincoln features in the SEN
ate chamber. The Vermont man is taller
and thinner than his Illinois rival, and
with his smooth face has a very marked
Lincoln look, so much so that Cullom
is in danger OF losing his laurels. a poll
Of the senate may be necessary before
the question is solved. Washington

A MYSTERIOUS CONVICT.
He Conceals His Identity, but Not His Brii.
liant ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS.


liant Accomplishments.
Who is Hogan" is question which
has troubled prison officers at the south.
ern Illinois penitentiary for years.
Hogan Is the brightest convict, intellec-
tually, In the prison and and is one OF
the most valuable because OF his versa
tility. Interest in Hogan has increased
materially since Governor Altgeld, a
few days ago. committed his sentence
from As To 81 years. and on next Christ
mas eve Hogan will transplant his tai
ents 10 more congenial surroundings.
Thomas Hogan, Peggy" Ryan and n
man named Pritchard were beating
their way across the country in 1873,
and one day IN September they boarded
a Chicago and Alton freight train in
Greene county, near Carrollton, and
found several other tramps in posses
sion. y fight ensued. During the melee
one OF the tramps was thrown from or
fell off the train and was killed Hogan,
Ryan and Pritchard were arrested for
murder. They Were quickly disposed of
at the rate of IS years each in the peni-
Tertiary.
The prison officers soon recognized
him where he could render valuable
service He took deep and intelligent
interest in every duty assigned 10 him
and was very quiet, orderly and neat in
everything he did. He never gave up
word rs TO his parents, relatives or
home. He never wrote a letter, except
20 his lawyer, or received one, but it is
confidently believed that Hogan is high
" connected. He is a college graduate.
Said Warden Baker. speaking of Ho-
gan: do we want n translation from
the Greek or Latin inscription, Hogan
does it. If any piece of copy is to be
written in a copper plate hand, Hogan
does it in the most elegant manner. If
we require trial balance made, Hogan
makes il. He Is filled with accurate in
formation upon all sorts of subjects and
makes all kinds of calculations with
ease, yet he never volunteers TO say
word unless asked. He appears To be
contented and applies himself diligently
TO his duties. He is one of the best pris-
oners we have. "
\ correspondent met Hogan in the
Office the other day and was greeted by
"A cordial handshake Eyes, i am very
glad i am going ont, F" he said. II have
been here 81 years and am anxious for n
change | have had some very warm
friends here during that time among the
whom l shall be pleased to see
again. And he led the conversation
away from himself as If he wished to
avoid it.-Chicago Correspondent.

a German View of Us.

The Berlin National Zeitung last
week published a curious leader on
American affairs. The writer's conclu-
sion was that the Anglo-Saxon and Ger
man races were losing their determin-
ing influence on the Unions affairs.
The influx of Catholic Irish and Ital-
fans rs well as other Latin elements, he
thought, would at no very distant date
lead TO the crisis-feared now by some
American politicians - in which the
Union would be divided into three re-
publics-one on the Pacific, another on
the Atlantic and the third on the gulf
of Mexico

History and Traditions OF the Ruling

The emperor OF China has all at once

portance no one could have expected a

A COAT OF IRON RODS.
1t Is Bullet Proof and May RevoIutioniz,
Heavy Armor Plating.

1t Is Bullet Proof and May Revolutionizc
Heavy Armor Plating.
1 have been stimulated by the recent
trials of the bullet proof cuirass to try q
few experiments ON che subject. 1 will
only mention one experiment, which i
made this morning, assisted by several
members of the Junior Scientific club
here. 1t occurred to me that, if the en-
ergy of the bullet could be made to act
at rather a large angle to its line of
flight, its penetrating power would be
diminished.
To effect this arranged a number of
soft iron rods one-quarter inch in diam
eter and inches long side by side and
touching piece of deal board. On these
another layer was placed, so that one of
the upper rods touched two of the under
ones. a sheet of thin rubber one six
teenth of an inch thick placed ON this
separated it from similar combination
attached TO it at right angles, and the
whole formed the target.
The rife used was a winchester, 20
bore, carrying long bullet. At dis
lance of 20 feet the bullet penetrated
five inches of hard pine with certainty,
but when the bullet, fred at the same
distance, hit my rod target it failed to
penetrate even the first layer, but only
drove the upper rods aside nearly ut
right angles to the line of fight The
next experiments will be made with
heavier materials and larger shot. Pos
sibly similar arrangement, but of
large steel cylinders, might make a sat
isfactory barrier to the shots of big
guns.-F. ]. Smith in London Nature.

IT'S AMI EXPLAINED
How "Jack" Lnuo Made That Remarkable
luRrtnr Mile

How "Jaok" Lauo Mado That Remarkable
Quarter Mile.
Last Thursday afternoon the "Ramb-
ler" racing team were doing practice
quarters and "Jack" Laue did remark
ably fast one, recorded on Charley Van
Keuren's stop watch at % 1-5 seconds.
When the time was announced doubt as
to tho reality OF the performance wa.
expressed, but the timer persisted that
he had handled the watch with care
and "it did the rest" Well, that quar-.
ter was the talk Of the town and many
expected to see Laue wipe the other
fellows out OF existence on Labor Day
as It was he only got fifth place.
An explanation Of that remarkable
quarter Is now made. VanKeuren'a
watch, 1t seems, has an awkward habit
Of occasionally taking "a day off," 30 to
speak, and invariably quits at that
2Sl-5 second mark. This developed
yesterday when tho samc watch was
held on boys raee over on the state
fair grounds track-the watch asserting
that the winner mado tho distance in
% l-5 seconds. An explanation Of
how Laue made his quarter Ia therefore
needless.
