ne Lit1a: Things the Most Valuable

Inc Lifts Things the Most Valuable.
Comparatively few people rsgarit aem
selves as inventors, but almost everybody
has been struck, at one time or another,
with ideas thai seemed calculated TO re-
duco some of the little frictions of life.
Usually such ideas are dismissed with
out further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company
make its ear windows SO that they can
he slid up and down without breaking
the passengers back" oxclaims the
traveller. al were running the road |
wonid make them in such a way"
"What was the man that made this
saucepan thinking Off" grumbles the
cook. ole never had to work over n
stove, cor he would have known how it
ought to have leen fixed" @
"lIang such a collar button" growls
the man who is late for breakfast. "If |
were in the business I'd make buttons
that wouldn't slip out, or break off, or
gouge out the back Of my neck"
Aud then the various sufferers forget
about their grievances and begin to
think of something else. If they would
sit down at the next convenient oppor-
tunity, put their ideas about car windows
saucepans, and collar buttons into prac-
teal shape, and then apply for patents,
they might find themselves as indepen-
IDENTIFY wealthy as the man hoinvented
the iron umbrella ring, or the one who
patented the fifteen puzzle.

TRIED TO BREAK JAIL.
Warren County Prisoners Knocked
80 a Hole in the Wall.

They Were Armed with KNIVES and
Nerved to Desperation.

BELVIDERE, y. j., July :I-Th"
prisoners confined in the Warren County
Jail again made a desperate but I'M
successful attempt TO escape from the
Jail last night. Among the prisoners
in the plot was George Andrews, the
condemned wife murderer, whose case
is now in the United States courts.
The prisoners had secured Ratchet.
a hammer, small files, a number or
knives and a long iron bar, and with
the aid of these they knocked hole in
the wall of the Jail two feet square.
The hole was fortunately discovered
by the jailer, and with the assistance
of some keepers the men we're driven
back TO their cells at the points of re-
volvers.
Deputy Sheriff schwartz says this was
the most desperate attempt yet tried
The men had opened each Others cells
and were all in the corridors of the jail
ready to escape through the hole when
II was discovered.
The prisoners at hrst showed hght,
but on seeing the pistols held by the
keepers they went back to their cells
and are nov being closely guarded.

why DID She TRY SUICIDE I?
Pretty Rosa Read, Only Seventeen
Swallows Faris Greer.
Recovering In II Drug store, She Re
fuses to Explain Her Actions.

Rosa Read pretty Italian girl seven
teen years old, staggered in to drug
store at Forty NTH street and Sixth ave-
nue. at ii o'clock last night and fell un-
conscious upon the floor She had taken
II dose of Paris green. Why she took 1t
or where she got 1t is q mystery which
the police are trying to solve.
This morning the girl was in Bellevue
Hospital in u critical condition.
When the girl went into Metten-
heimer's store at 79i Sixth avenue. last
night she was noticed by clerk in
the place to grasp at the showcase.
He believed that she was sick, and went
towards her. Before he reached her
side she fell to he floor. Then he saw
that the front of her dress was covered
with green powder, which he at once
recognized as Paris green.
While the woman was being carried
to a couch In a rear room n boy was
hastily despatched for DIR. Wells. at n
West Forty-iifth street. He came at
once. decided that the young woman
measures TO relieve her.
He succeeded 80 well that by the time
an ambulance had arrived from Bellevue
Hospital Rosa had regained conscious
ness and was able to speak.
AS Is customary, the ambulance sur
geon wanted the woman's pedigree, SO
he began to question her. She gave her
age all right, but after that positively
refused to talk.
The ambulance surgeon questioned her,
so did DIR. Wells and the drug clerk.
Policeman Sellman, who had been called
In the mean time, added his efforts TO
those of the others. But II was no use.
The woman only looked at them, smiled
and said she was very sick. that they
had better take her to the hospital be-
fore she died. Once, when the policeman
got more than usually persuasive. the wo-
man said she lived at Messina street,
Brooklyn. But Immediately afterwards
she denied II, and rs there Is no street
of that name in Brooklyn. her denial
carried considerable weight with It.
Finally she was taken to the hospit a !
in the ambulance. The surgeon said she
must have taken the poison long before
she walked into Mettenheimer's store.
No one In the neighborhood had seen
her in the street and the druggists for
blocks around denied that they had sold
her the Paris green.
The ward men Of the East Fifth street
station went to Bellevue Hospital to see
the pretty prisoner in an effort to get
some light on the case, but they met
stolid Indifference. The girl even denied
the name she had given.
