HAVEN FOR CRIMINALS.
Places in Various Countries Whore Justlce
 Can Be Evadleti.

Can Be Evaded.
 In Scotland there still exists sane. tuary for debtors in the abbey and pal ace of Holyrood, with it's precincts. The sanctuary is placed under the con trol of a bailie, appointed by the duke of Hamilton.
 When the debtor retires to the sanc- tuary he has twenty-four hours protec- ton, but in order to extend the privilege longer he must be enrolled on the books of the abbey. The sanctuary affords no protection to criminal or fraudulent debtor, or to a crown debtor.
 Another sanctuary exists in Hawaii, called the Rock of Refuge. If q crimi- nal reach the refuge before he can be captured, he is safe as long as he re- mains there. His family can and usu- ally do supply him with food until he is able to make his escape, but he is never allowed to return to his own tribe.
 In China the Buddhist religion al- lows men to become priests at an ad- vanced period of life for the purpose of escaping from impending justice. In some instances Buddhist temples are regarded as inviolable sanctuaries for transgressors of the law.
 Formerly there were many sanctua- ries in England, just as the cities of refuge were appointed by. the laws of Moses for one who had killed another intentionally, to prevent the relations of the slain taking the law into their own hands, as the Arabs still do in such cases. Boston Globe.

It was an agent for big manufac- turing concern who was talking.
 ''I once got out poster" he said. (which started in: Keep your eye on this; a burglar is coming This dis tributed broadcast in the towns in the northern part of the state. Among other places. it was hung conspicu- ously in small grocery and dry goods store in one of the towns in that sec ton.
 ''One morning the proprietor, when he opened up shop, found that my no- tice had been amended to read: Keep your eye on this; the burglar has come The correction was made in pencil marks.
 And, sure enough. the burglar had come. And he carried off six hundred dollars in money and goods. "-N. Y. Sun.

A Disadvantage of Health.

A visitor among the poor on the East side of the city found unexpected testimony to the disadvantage of health during one of her recent calls. Mrs. E. has family of dozen chiI- dren, and, like most of her class, she has her tale of woe to tell.
 How are the children. Mrs. B.?" in- quired the caller.

BAGGED AT LAST.
Chauncey Arnold, Who Escaped from
Officers Year Ago, Is
Recaptured.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 4 -Chauncsy
Arnold, alias Charles Adams. who has
been implicated in numerous robberies
in Berks, Dauphin and Northampton
counties. was arrested here today on
the charge of robbing hardware store
in Lykens, Dauphin county, in April,
1893, Arnold. who had several con.
federates in the Lykens' robbery. was
arrested shortly after it had been com.
mitted and while being taken to Jail
jumped from car window and escaped,
Notwithstanding that he was hand
cutfed. A Danphin county constable
subsequently ran across Arnold, but
the robber drew revolver and made
his escape by firing at the officer.
Since that time all trace of the fugi-
tive was lost. The detectives of this
city were instructed to keep a sharp
look ont for him, and they finally
learned that he had been il this city
for some time. and since his arrival
had married under the name Of Adams.
He obtained q position with a street
contractor, and WAS made foreman.
When arrested, Arnold, who was su-
perintending a gang of men engaged in
trolley work at Eighteenth and Vine
streets. denied that he was the man
named in the warrant. but he was
taken before Magistrate Milligan at
the Central station, where the Dsuphin
county constable identified him.
Arnold not only has achieved consid-
orable notoriety in the vicinity Of
Lykens, but in Reading and EIston, in
1892, he came into notoriety. Through
out northampton county. and espaci-
ally in Easton, great many safe
breakings had been done which were
traced to Arnold and five or six Others.
He was arrested in Easton and turned
states evidence, his confederates being
sentenced to seven years imprisonment.
