Frnnkie Goes to Prison,

Ford d. Lac, Wis, Jan. 6.-The no
FERROUS frankie Blunt, the several times
female husband, was given a sentence Of
one year in state prison by Judge ellison
in the circuit court. After sentence she
sent for her chum, or wife, and they
were closeted together for an hour oc
two. She has been an exemplar prisoner
while in Jail and has received letters Of
commentator from DIR. Mary Walker
and other cranks. That the prisoner is q
woman is beyond question, but she had
worn mems clothing so many years she
has acquired the tastes and peculiarities
of men, and so holds the peculiar position
of being in every respect q man except
sex. The question now is where will the
warden of the-state prison put her, in the
female department with her mems cloth
ing, which she persists in wearing, Or
in the male ward?

Heavy Drop in Australian Wool.

Heavy Drop in Australian Wool.
The prices of wool in Australia are
showing declines almost equal to those
in this country. At Melbourne on Oct
% extra superfne merinO combing
Geelong sold at 10d, against Ii IL at
the previous sale; the next lowest quail
ity dropped from 11@11 1-2d to so
8 1-2d; another mark, very choice, drop
ped from . 1-2@1Od to 1-2d. United
States buyers were operating with
great reserve, and continental buyers
very freely. The cablegram from Mel
bourne states that the prices are the
lowest in the history of the trade in
Australia. The increase Of the wool
clip in Australia this year amounts to
15O,OOOOOO pounds. This class Of woods
compares with our domestic grades,
and If they are placed on the free list
under the new tariff we must compete
with them. The freight, insurance and
commission charges upon them are
light and will not add much to their
cost delivered here; but they are bet
ter prepared than ours for market, and
will average 3@4c pound more in
value than ours on that account, and
not because Of quality. Our washed
Ohio wool sells for 20 cents pound and
shrinks between SO and So per cent

. IA A. CAUCUS. i;
Resolutions offered ~ Speaker caAsu
That 1t II the Duty Of the Deis.l
Gratis to Support the WILSON Bill'
Are Adopted-NO Action In House.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The Democratic
caucus met in the hall of the house of rep
resentatiyes last night to consider the
Wilson tariff bill. There was good at
tendance. Judge Holman was chairman
and Mr.. Aldero,n secretary of the. caucus.
Although the roll call showed only 124
member present. many came in during
the call, andi was estimated that there
were LAT Democrats in attendance when
the proceedings began. There are ZIG
Democrats in the house and caucus
quorum Is 1OS. The attendance indicated
that in the neighborhood of forty who
are in the city remained away. There
were no conspicuous absences among the
''kickers." Speaker Crisp offered res
olutiOn declaring that it was the duty OF
every Democrat to vote for the considera-
ton of the tariff bill, and also that it
was the duty of all Democrats to at
tend the sessions of the house and main
tain a quorum until the tariff bill is dis
posed of. In ringing speech the speaker
took occasion to rather sharply reprimand
Democrats who had been responsible for
the inaction of the house during the past
three days. Several speeches were made
for and against the bill, after which
Speaker Crisp's resolution was adopted.
Another resolution was adopted that 1t
was the sense of the caucus that if q
proposition for an income tax was re
ported from the committee that two days
additional should be given for debate.
The power of the committee on rules
was invoked to break down the obstruc-
ton in the path of the tariff debate in
the house. An iron clad order was
brought in setting out the programme
for the tariff debate and fixing Jan. Is
as the day for taking the final vote.
This resulted only in side-tracking Mr..
Boutelle and his Hawaiian resolution, as
when the vote came to be taken on the
adoption of the order the Democrats
lacked nine votes of quorum. At least
twenty Democrats at the capitol either
abscnted themselves from the hall or
refused to answer to their names when
called.

and, it is added that they were shot by

french officer engaged in the attack was
captured, and that this confirms the story
that the British force was destroyed by
the French troops. The affair has caused
the greatest excitement

How IN Infant school Was Founded.

How IN Infant School Was Founded.
It is well known that the Society of
Friends object to all war. This con-
scientious feeling has sometimes
placed individual Quakers in an awk-
ward position.
For instance, during the war against
the first Napoleon ship that was
partly owned by Friend captured a
Dutch vessel. The long continuance
Of the state Of war prevented him for
several years from compromising the
owner and sailors of the seized ship,
In accordance with his principles.
In the meantime he invested the
money received as his share of the
prize, and when at last peace was de-
clared he paid 1t over, with the inter-
est to date, to those who had suffered
by the capture of the vessel.
Not being able to find them all, he
founded with the rest Of the money a
free infant school in Amsterdam, this
being the port from which the Dutch
ship had sailed. The school was the
first Of the kind set up in the city, and
it was housed in building called
Hollands Welfare" which was the
name OF the captured vessel.

I SWALLOWED HER rEErH. !:
y Remarkable Accident to 4 Youns
Indy In Milwaukee.

Lady In Milwaukee.
Miss Helen Burns mads startling
discovery Thursday. She had neglected
to take out her upper plate ,lpor retir-
Ing tho night before, and, upon a awaken
Ing found that in some manner the
teeth had fallen into her throat. She
was awakened by the pain caused by
their passage down her threat. After
they had been swallowed they caused
no more pain, and SO far she tas been
In no way Aforementioned by their
presence in her stomach. II was an
upper set OH q rubber plate, and was
whole except for the loss Of three teeth
on one side. The dentist was not in
clined to believe that the young lady
could have swallowed SO large a plate,
but she convinced hinl that she had.
1t was temporary plate, which, hav-
ing been worn too long, allowing the
gums to shrink away from 1t, had be-
come too large. Being too large, a
piece had broken out of 1t, and 1t would
no longer hold itself in place. Miss
Burns told the doctor that the plate
did not cause her any pain, but she was
frightened, naturally enough. The doc
tor assured her that there was no cause
for alarm so long as she felt no pain.
DIR. Carmichael says that while peo-
pie are sometimes choked by their
false teeth getting into their Threats,
the cases where the teeth have been
actually swallowed are very rare. Only
one such case ever occurred in this city,
to the Doctors knowledge, and then
the teeth lodged before they entered the
stomach, and the man died in great
pain. DIR. Carmichael thinks that hav-
ing safely accomplished the feat Of
swallowing the plate the young lady is
in no danger, and will perhaps never
be troubled by the teeth. He does not
think that the plate can pass into the
intestines, and he is in doubt as to what
is likely to be its fate. He says that
nothing can be done until the plate
makes its position known by pain.
Then relief may be afforded by an
operation or possibly in some other
Observation-Disclosures Wisconsin.
