Young swell with a highly-perfumed

was lodged i'll cell in police station. Some
hours later friend of Mr.. Lavender heard of
his arrest and went TO the station TO see about
getting MIN released on bail AZ the time his
friend entered Lavender was calling Justify

Then he was handed some water in the
ordinary tin drinking cup used by the pris-

manded glass of water properly served to
him on a salver.
At this iuncture his friend was admitted to
the corridor of the cells to endeavor to quiet
him. He failed to recognize his friend and
took him for the proprietor OF u hotel. Law
ender entered into an argument with his
friend abont the poor accommodations of the
place and the impudeuce of the walters.
He was finally persuaded that he was in q

he began TO sing from II. NJ. S. Pinafore,'' -

politely for the care Sergt. Acton had taken

unjust and oppressive than when these laws
are imposed upon them from without by
some despotic power. Knowing that they

they are more disposed to bear patiently for

coming. The great corporations and trusts

Putting Wolves to Death by Torture.

One use of the whalebone to which
the Eskimos put it, and one case of
which came under my personal observa-
tion, must not allow to pass unnoticed.
Whenever wolves have been unusually
predatory, have DESTROYED favorite dog
or so, or dug mp cache of reindeer
meat just when it was needed, or in any
way have aroused the ire of the Innuit
hunter, he takes strip of whalebone
about the size of those used in corsets,
wraps it up into a compact helical mass
like watch spring. having previously
sharpened both ends, then ties it to-
gether with reindeer sinew and plasters
it with compound of blood and grease,
which is allowed to freeze and forms a
binding cement sufficiently strong to
hold the sinew string at every second or
third turn. This, with lot of similar
looking bats of meat and blubber, is
scattered over the snow or ground. and
the hungry wolf devours it along with
the others, and when it is thawed out
by the warmth of his stomach it elon-
gates and has the we'll known effect of
whalebone on the system, but having
the military advantage of interior lines
its effects are more rapid, killing the
poor wolf, with the most horrible
agonies, in compile of days. From an

A somnambuiistio Fisherman.

A Pittsburger, who is n fisherman,
told me n strange story about a guide
who attends him on his excursions ON
Lake Erie. The old guide lives at Put.
in-Bay, and every night when at home
he was accustomed to put out night
line for catch of fish. One summer it
was regular occurrence for long Pc
riod for him to get up and find the fish
removed from his hooks and placed in a
basket in his cabin. He was at loss to
account for these strange proceedings,
knowing of no person so kind as to save
him the labor
One morning some of his friends
happened to be near his place very early,
when they found the old fisherman out
in his boat getting the catch of the
night from his lines. He apparently
paid no attention to the salutations Of
his friends, but proceeded with his
work. After he had completed the round
of his lines he rowed slowly back to the
landing, making fast his boat and re-
moving the basket of fish from it. As
he came toward his friends with the
basket upon his shoulder they noticed a
strange expression on his face.
He passed them by without noticing
their presence, when one of the party
ran after him and caught his arm. This
seemed to bring the old fisherman out Of
his strange state, and he looked around
as if awakening from dream. He
could not explain why he was there and
concluded he had been getting up every
morning in his sleep and performing his
work without knowing it. Thus the
strange incident was explained. Pitts

The pension rolls probably reached
their maximum length in the fiscal
year ended June 80, 1894, observes
the New York Mail and Express. They
then contained the names OF 969, 544
persons, which total was 1892 greater
than that Of the previous June 80.
1t is interesting to know that at the
end OF the fiscal year there we're on
the rolls the names Of nine widows
and three daughters Of soldiers Of the
Revolutionary War and of forty-tive
survivors of the War OF 1912. The
number of pending claims has de-
creased more than 90,000, while the
number added to the rolls was 80, 685
and the number dropped was 81, ,95I.
The figures confirm the belief already
expressed that natural causes will
soon peroeptibly reduce the number
of pensioners and that the maximum
has been reached.

KILLED BY INDIANS.
Two SpoTtsmen Brutality Slain in IA
Maine Forest Camp.

One OF the most atrocious murders ever
known in Maine has occurred at Millinocket,
famous resort for sportsmen. The tragedy
seemsto have been particularly cold-blooded
one, and the alleged murderers are well known
as desperate characters, one having lately
served a a sentence In the state prison at
Thomaston, Me. and both having been re-
leased from the county jail in Bangor but a
few weeks ago.
Two spOrtsmen from Brownville-Camelia
Nashan, a spaniard and Charles Langley, a
Frenchman-were ut the formers camp,
and it Is supposed that two Indians
Joseph Gabriel and Newell Gabriel,
brother, Of Oldtown Me-, were their
guides At all events they we're all In camp
together. Frank Newali, a cousin OF the In.
dians, went to the camp to see them. Frank
Newall was employed In lumber camp some
distence away. and he took Il gun with him
to shoot any game he might see on the way
He had not been gone from the lumber camp
long when he returned, In a breathless and
highly excited condition, and related a sem
sational story to his companions He
stated that upon arriving at the camp
where his cousins were he pushed
open the door and was confronted by one OF
his cousins, who thrust two revolvers into
his face and told him to keep out Of that IL
he valued his life. Newall saw at the same
time the body OF a man lying on the floor Ia
pool OF blood. and there were indications
on every hand that there had been desper-
ate struggle. Newall was badly frightened,
and, fearing that he might also be killed, he
dropped his gun and run at the top of his
speed, A posse was made up at Millinocket
station on the Bangor & Aroostook
railroad and it proceeded to the scene OF the
tragedy. Arriving there they found the
camp on fire, and the remains OF Nashan and
Langley could be seen In the ruins burned
TO crisp. The Indians were nowhere to be
seen, and a search was made for them. After
long tramp in the forest the searchers
finally captured the murderers, and
after desperate struggle, over
powered and bound them securely.
The Indians were covered with blood and
bruises and deep wounds which look like
knife thrusts. The mouth of one OF the In
dians is nearly torn to pieces, the jaw being
exposed, and his face is badly torn. Their
shocking appearance gives evidence OF afght
with to the death knives. The motive seems
to be shrowded in mystery. although 1t WA
probably robbery.
