legged postoffice swindler, who held up five
United States officials with big revolver
on Saturday afternoon, walked out of the
room and locked the door behind him, was
captured. at Clifton, Ont. The telegraph
operator in the railroad station there saw a
man resembling Harris description come
into che station and sit down. He sent a
message to Assistant Chief of Police Grit
fiths, and GrifIiths came down on a run
and collared Harris.
Harris tried to pull his revolver, but
Grifliths was too ehick for him and got his
revolver out first. Harris was taken to the
lookup, and the Buffalo officials were noti-
fled. They went down to Clifton and got
their man. Harris consented to come back
without eXtradition. He is now in the
Erie county jail
When searched, but $12. 05 in money and
the revolver We're found on him. There
was not a scrap of paper. Harris gave this
account of his escape to the officials, first
saying that the idea of holding up the Off
Gals came to him suddenly and was imme-
diately acted upon:

TORE DOWN THE FLAG.
A Warship Appears and Makes Thing
Very EIua Eor the EeheIs.


SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 19.-News comes
by the brig Galilee of revolution on the
island of Raiatea, in the Society group,
which was nipped in the bud by the French
colonial government. Raiatea was seized
about two years ago by the French, and
heavy duties were placed on the export of
copra and other products. Under this rule
wealthy French traders have been FESTIVE,
and strong party was formed in opposi-
ton to the government.
The malcontents took the formal open
ing of the new FrencS town hall as an ex-
cuse for making a demonstration. They
decided to insult the French flag. Lots
We're drawn to see who should perform the
deed, and it fell to a wealthy trader.
He was suspected of weakening, so when
the day arrived he was fortified with
brandy. Dec. n was the day of the cere-
monies. There was great crowd at the
hosting of the French colors. Soon after
the rebels came in, and securing entrance
to the town hall they tore down the flag
and publicly insulted it. Then they took
the flag and hid it. The French authori-
ties rushed the news by steam launch to
Papeete, and in three days % war vessel lay
off the harbor
Five hours was given fort insurgents
to deliver up the flag and their leaders or
submit to commandments. They weakened,
and the merchant was taken away in irons
to the capital and there tried and con-
demned. He was taken to New Caledonia,
where he has probably been shot for his

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-To the interest
ing collection of portraits which hang on
the walls of the rooms of state i'll the
White House will be added this week a
fine picture of Mrs. President Harrison.
The donors are the members of the Patri-
otto Order of Daughters of the American
Revolution, who will meet here for their
third annual congress the last three days
of the week, assembling on Washington's
birthday. Most of the former mistresses
of the White House have received official
recognition from the government by per-
mission given that their portraits should
be hung i'll the executive mansion. Mrs
Harrison was member of the Daughters
of the American Revolution, holding it's
highest office and presiding over its de-
alterations while she was in the White
House. President Cleveland has written
to the society signifying his willingness
to accept the portrait. 1t was painted by
Huntington of New York, is 5 feet by 7
and is regarded by critics as an unusually
fine work. 1t represents Mrs. Harrison at
the age of 30 years, attired in a brocaded
gown of cerulean blue, with train held in
the left hand.

HOW TO LOOK YOUNG.
The Face May BE Much Improved by Prop
err Exercise.

The Face May Be Much Improved by Prop
err Exercise.
The facial muscles especially, which
are apt to be almost if not entirely neg
lected, may be so developed that a face
that had already dropped into the I'M
becoming lines of age will assume again
the rounded curves of comparative
youth. The following exercises are rec
commended for filling out and develop
ing the muscles of the face: First, smil lie
as broadly as you can; then place three
fingers on the punched up portion of the
cheek and allow the features suddenly
to relax, raising the fingers at the same
time. Continue to do this until tired.
Tho fingers should be placed high OF
the cheek bone, SO that the muscles
when smiling will push against them,
thus giving the desired resistance, which
is necessary to the enlargement of the
tissue.
The second exercise is to again smile
broadly, but this time, instead of allow
ing the corners of the mouth to be curry
ed upward, try to draw them out in a
straight line toward the center of the
checks; then place the two thumbs one
on each corner of the mouth and work
the corners backward and forward by
relaxing and contracting the mouth.
Exercise No. 3 is with the chin. Press
the lower lip upward, and it will he
seen that the chin will be raised and
become hard; crook the forefnger so as
to make "a half circle and put it over
tho point of the chin, pressing it against
the latter as it rises and relaxing the
pressure instantly as it assumes its nor
NAL position. In this exercise the teeth
should be kept closed. Most faces that
arc thin are apt to be hollow between
the upper and the lower jaw, and two
exercises are recommended for filling
out the cheeks. Take two small pieces
of india rubber such as come in the
ends of pencils, and insert on each side
of the mouth between the back teeth,
close the teeth on them and chew,
spreading the teeth only just far enough
apart to keep the 1ubberS in their place
and shutting them with all the force
possible. After this put the tOrefinger
into the mouth and rub it against the
check, pressing it outward in every way,
reaching as far back as it is possible.
1t is said that by regularly following
these simple exercises daily the face
may be kept rounded and firm in its
outlines, and that even old and relaxed
muscles may be greatly strengthened
and improved.

THE EARLY CLOS,
ING MOVEMENT IN
WATERBURY,.

We are very glad to see healthy move
lurnt in favor of early closing in Water

instead of Country stores. Some OF our
store kecperS believe IN L, riliEg up the
same stvle that our fathers dat fifty years
ago. We showed our little Country
Notions very badly while ac-o-S the water
when We went running around one even

people laughed at Us AMI It'd us that there
was no store open after g ~ clock. We found
this true in England Ireland. Scotland
and France. We sell IL much Furniture,
Caruets. Crockery. Stoves. etc, by closing
three. NIGHTS a week as when we kept open
VERY night. We find our clerks better
ultur,d and more eager To please the Gus
TONER. We remember many years ago
how the girls IN the cotton factories used
tn ,., to work ut IS o'clock in the morning.
We also remember how they used t" c.'.n-
plain OF their swollen ankles from stan ling

Oyerwurked girls make peevlsh wives and

PARIS, Feb. ia bomb similar in its
composition to that used by Valiant and
Henry was found on the staircase of the
police station in the Rue du Temple, one
of the ancient and busiest streets of the
city, which leads to the Hotel de Vile. In
this street is the Marche du Temple, which
occupies the site of the Tour du Temple,
which during the revolution was used as a
prison of the royal family.
Anarchist Henry has made a further con-
fession to the police, and as result of it
his mothers house was searched. The po-
lice found much chemical apparatus and a
number of letters and photographs, includ-
ing a group of 20 anarchists. All of these
things will prove valuable to the police in
their efforts to arrest all the other anarch-
lists who We're implicated in the plot with
Henry.
Henry also divulged the names of several
of his anarchist friends, and their arrests
are expected to take place i'll a short time
When Henry was confronted with those
who had helped to capture him, his atti-
tude was characteristic.
NJ Etienne of the Western Railway COM
pany said that when about to seize Henry
the fugitive turned and fired point blank
at him.
"Lookr' added NJ. Etienne, showing his
waistcoat pierced by bullet. Had Henry
fired trihe higher, l should have received
the bullet in my chest"
Henry, iHterrupting, said, "Well, what
harm would there have been in that?'
NJ. Etienne (white from anger}-Why,
YOU would have killed me
Henry-Well, what then?
NJ Etienne-You bloodthirsty scoundreli
Henry-I regret that the revolver was Of
such inferior quality. I should have felt II
certain satisfaction az being confronted
with you in the morgue-I living, and you

the name by which it is more generally
known, us it is unaccompanied by thun-

condensed by cooling near the ground,
form conducting stratum, which serves
to re-estabIish by degrees the electrical
equilibrium between the atmosphere
and the earth, which are charged with
opposite elcctricities.
