Some idea of Chicago's take traffic
may be formed from the statement that
the aggregate entrances and clearances
In 1890, for the great lakes, numbered
IS, 2SO, of which 81 1854. measuring TO-
2sS,6Ss tons, We're at that port. The
corresponding aggregate for New York
Is 10 ,2S3, and for the entire saaboard of
the United States, 37.756. The tonnage
has nearly doubled itself In the last ten
years, and it is possible to conceive of a
like increase by 1900, for GAIL miles of
railway terminate here. and In a year
move $4,000, 900 tons of freight. Be-
sides, in the central northern and north.
western states the total freight moved is
ls6, 900 tons, q fair proportion Of
which goes to Europe. &C. G. Rogers in

For the decline OF politeness In one re-

The rnvsntioa Of IN. steamboat.

Robert FuIton's clermont, the first
steamboat Of any practical value, was
launched into the East river II Il not
known who first conceived the idea Of pro
Polling boats by steam; probably Solomon
de Caus, In 1915. Many persons expert
mented with steam propulsion between
1763. when William Henry, Of Pennsyl.
vania, placed small boat on the Cones
toga river, and 1907. when the Clermont
made its trip 20 Albany. Among them
were the Marquis de Jonffroy, James
Rumsey and John Fitch These men pro
duced models which were worthy Of the
name steamboat. but the Clermont was
the first steam vessel produced which actu-
ally carried passengers and freight, and

Some Memorable and Perilous
Escapes From Prison.

A man will risk much for life and liberty,
and the records Of escape from prison are
rcplete with instances Of almost incredible
ingenuity, endurance and daring. Such an
mails have romantic interest for students
OF human nature and have recently engaged
the attention OF DIR. Felix L. Oswald. He
says that Dumas Monte Cristo Is myth,
but more than one dangerous convict has
accomplished his flight from the island
dungeon OF the Chateau d'If, and the still
stronger fortress OF St. Marguerite proved
too weak for the golden key Of Marshal
Bazaine. The escape Of Henri Rochefort Is
still mystery TO the managers Of the con-
vict colony, who maintain that he must
have had outside help and an accomplish
who contrived to impersonate him for q
couple Of weeks aud then dropped his dis
guise when his friend was half way TO the
West Indies
The plan Of making the jailer an uncou-
scious cooperator In the work of liberation
was successfully tried In Mantua, where v
military convict caused himself TO be cart
ed out of town with a load of rubbish, and
may have suggested the still more inge-
NOUS trick OF Prentice Peller, whose adj
ventures entitle him 10 the name Of the
American Monte Cristo, but thus far can
not rival the escapades of Baron Trenk, tho
irreprcssible Prussian life guardsmsn.
The exploits Of that accomplished desper-
ado are attested by the records of the Prus-
sian archives, or IL might seem incredible
that on one occasion he leaped from the
tower OF Fort Schweidnitx, swan the deep
moat, cut down the sentry ON the parapet
and escaped through hailstorm OF musket
balls. One Of the pursuers who had fol-
lowed his track beyond the Silesian border
was shot from ambush. and Trenk. ragged,
famished and footsorc, had to conceal him

Interest in the forthcoming city cleo

on Saturday, Dec. S, Is beginning 10 mani
fest itself. The city democratic eXecn-
tive committee has called a mass meeting
to be held next Saturday, at which the
method of selecting candidates viii be dis
cussed and determined. There is consid-
cradle division of opinion among voters
as 10 whether the nomination for city Of
fcers should be made by primary election
or convention, and there is also a stTong
element which favors a citizens ticket
without regard to party. Orlando has a
clear democratic majority, and could
easily elect full democratic ticket, but
there is a feeling among the more con
servative Of the party that a non-partisan
ticket should be placed before the voters.
On the other hand, there is evidence of @
desire on the part of many to see that
none but good deolocrats are put on the
ticket. The action of next Saturday g
mass meeting will Indicate the desire OF
the voters in the matter.

thieves went to the residence Of Samuel
Brown of LakevieW, the northeastern
suburb of Pensacola, and made a mur-
derous assault upon the inmates. Mr.
Brown and his wife are very old. They
came from Chicago two years ago, and
the only person in the house with them
was a widowed daughter. Mr.. Brown
was standing before fire in his bedroom
when a gun was fred at him through the
blinds of a window. The lead did not
strike him, and the gang then jerked open
the blinds and fred again through the
open window. This shot struck Mr.
Brown, tearing away the thumb of ms left
hand. The thieves then entered through
the window and struck down Mrs. brown
who tried to prevent them from carrying
of a trunk. Both of the old people were
rendered helpless, and the gang then ran
sacked the house and fred several shots
into the windows after leaving. The near
est neighbor lives three blocks away, and
the daughter was afraid to leave the
house to give an alarm until daylight
AS soon as the alarm was received at The
police station mounted policemen went
to the scene, and soon afterward arrested
three negroes, who we're found in the
nelghborhood, and against whom there is
strong suspicion. Other negroes are i'm
