SAFE BEHIND THE BARS.

THE JOURNEY TO THE PENIrENTIARY
 WITHOUT SPECIAL INCIDENT.
 COLUMBUS, O., Oct. 18.-A special train bearing sheriff Cook and Deputy Sheriff Bostwick of Fayette county, with the ne- gro rapist prisoner, William Dolby, alias Jasper, in custody, arrived here at O clock this morning. The train bore also six companies of the Fourteenth regiment, all the local companies, the remainder of the troops being left at Washington Court House.
 The train was stopped near the state prison and the sheriff and his de putty, with the prisoner in custody, walked hurriedly unguarded to the main entrance and in a few moments Dolby was behind the stone walls of the penitentiary, where he will spend the next twenty years of his life at hard labor. Quite large crowd had col lected at the central station to see the pris- oner, and were disappointed to see only the soldiers when the train drew in. The crowd was curious one, however, and no violence to the prisoner would have been attempted If he had been brought to the union station in the train.
 The trip from Washington Court House was without incident. The mot was easily controlled when the rein force n ent ts of miIi- tia arrived at Washington Court House at 3:3O They gathered in little knots, but offered no resistance. The prisoner was at once taken from the jail and placed upon the train, and the journey here was begun.
 Colonel Colt did not order the cartridges taken from the rifles until a coal chute, two miles north of Washington Court House, was passed, as there Sheriff Cook feared an attack on the train might be made, but the train was not molested.
 Governor Mckinley arrived from Cincin- natl at 8 o'clock this morning, and after consultation with Sheriff Cook of Fayette county aud receiving @ nuni Der of telegrams from prominent citizens of Fayette county, ordered all the troops remaining on duty at Washington Court House to tneir homes. He says he is assured that there will be no further lawlessness there.

The DesirabiIity OF Appearing Perfectly

Everything athat is useful NAV be
gained by labor. You may not have
the hereditary gift of good breeding;
you may lack the early training of
schools and home; yet the values OF
these you can take into yourself by OBJ
servatiOn, study and practice, provided
always that you realize the efficacy as
well as the beauty of unselfshness.
But unselfshness is precisely opposite
to self-neglect. Make yourself a model
man or woman for the sake of truth.
honesty and happiness, and these
shall beam out Of you into others. It
is the highest manifestation of health,
this self-shaping power by which the
individual grows TO the full-rounded
stature of a man or woman, and is
able to meet the demands of life with
out hustle or trepidation or any under
show of strain.
BE a calm observer for one evening at
any social gathering and you viii be
able to detect at a glance the young
person who gesticulates vehemently
and laughs immoderately for want of
any other mode of expressing a confu-
sion of ADVERTISEMENTS or in sheer
nervous excitement. The petty sur
priseS of the occasion destroy the
equilibrium of such a mind and break
it into manageable crosscurrents OF
self-consciousness and vulgar anxiety.
We must understand, then, that ease

we all so much admire in great men is
quite different from the sphinx-liBe in

is the difference between a cOuntenance
and a face; one is from deep within
the other is an exterior mask. The
soul must be cultivated to insure that
fine physical poise which, like some
happy verse or phrase in poetry, seems
too exquisitely modelled to be artificial.
Ease of department, then, is TO be

gel Pretty Busy.
The other Sunday night when an up
town avenue was crowded with young
ladies and their escorts, the peculiar
actions of two youngsters attracted the
attention of a passer-by, who stopped
10 see what they were up TO. He no.
ticed that one of the young imps would
stand near the curbstone, while the
other would follow some young man
who had his best girl on his arm.
When the pair had separated about
twenty feet, the young man would
suddenly spring into the air with a
yell of pain. clapping his hand to his
side. while the young one would walk
on ahead of him with the innocence of
q cherub.
1t was not. however, until the gen.
tleman had bribed one OF the conspira-
tors with a quarter that he learned the

ted elastic about two feet long. ending

the other followed the victim. At the

rather weak with the heavy receipts on

checked the downward tendency

Corn was less active with fluctuations

FORTUNES IN FARTHlNGS.

There are millions of people in En-
gland who never see a farthing from
wears end TO the other. they never
want to. The coin. as far as its cir
culation among the upper class Of so
oietv is concerned, is rapidly growing
scarcer and scareer, but for all that
this fractional division Of the penny
PLAYS a very important part in the daily
transactions of the nation. and, of
course, 1t is and always viii be the
standard coin OF many proverty-strlck-
en- districts of London and other large
towns. The commercial value OF a
farthinr can not be overeStlmateC, ana
the draper who first conceived the
brilliant notion of pricing his goods so
much three-farthingS is only the hrSt
OF an army of men who have made their
fortunes by this subtle device.
The customer either viii not he both
cred with a farthing. or Is content 10
have in its place packet Of needles or
hairpins. a crockett book or some other
trifling article which does not cost the
retailer the sixteenth part Of penny
Besides this, however, there Is another
advantage in the farthing system which
must not be overlooked. and it is one
which goes a long way towards prov
ing. If any proof is necessary. Carlyle's
famous saying that the inhabitants Of
the world consists of 50 many millions,

ings. and do not wait for the change.
This system is, as a matter Of fact,
not more than some twenty years old.
