In tho New York World of Feb 22 last
this dispatch was publishcd:
"BosToN, Feb. 21.-Lucy Dewhirst, tho
Lawrence girl who ran away from her
brothers homo attired as q boy and came
to this city Monday afternoon. has man
aged to olude her pursuing relatives, and
tho police havo evidence to indicate that
she Is now on tho ocean"
Now comes tho sequel Of this story, as
told in tho Blackpool QIancashire) Advcr-
tiser Of March ID last which says: Lucy
Dowhirst Is girl of scarce Is summers.
Last October Lucys mother took her to
Lawrence, Mass, where she found home
in her brothers. family and obtained en-
ployment in ono OF the Lawrence factories.
Her mother loft there some two months
ago to return to England, and Lucy begged
unavailingly to be allowed to go back with
her.
ION tho morning of Feb 10 she started
from tho house. as the family supposed, to
go to her work, AS usual, but did not re-
turn. Subsequent developments show
that her plans had been we'll matured be-
forehand. Going 10 O barber's shop sho had
her head 'shorn of her beautiful tresses, ;
to quote an American papers description
Of tho affair, and then at friends house
she left tho Dresses which covered boys

Taking the train to Boston, she knock
cd about the docks there for day, asking
tho sailors IL sho could work her passage
home ON ono Of the vessels. Tall for her

FOR THE PARIS FAIR.
1t Is Proposed to Take Visitors In 1900
Nearly Mile Underground.

Nearly Mile Underground.
Having scaled the heavens at tho last
exhibition, it is now proposed in Paris to
furnish, as tho chief attraction in 1900,
facilities for descending into the depths Of
the earth. M. Grousset, member of tho
chamber of deputies for Paris, has sub
mitted plan for testing the point whether
there Is central fire beneath tho earth 8
crust. He finds that In mines the temper
aturo down to certain depth Is practical
ly the average temperature above ground.
Descending beyond that point tho thor
mometer rises about / n degrees in every
hundred feet. He desires to test tho
thermal law at n much greater depth than
has yet been reached. Should it bc found
to remain constant, the boiling point
would be reached about 5000 feet be-
low tho surface, and tho 666 degree
point, ut which nearly all bodies arc in q
state Of fusion, would DO some - miles
down. OF course, M. Grousset would not
take Parisians down to tho point of fu-
sion, but only until tropical heat is
reached. After that he would continue his
experiments by borings. The plan Of NJ.
Groussot's inferno comprises a series of
vertical shafts each 600 feet long and ter
minating In vast subte-ranean gallery.
Each shaft would have couple Of passen-
gor elevators. The lowest circle would be
at depth of about 900 feet. Each gal-
lory would be fitted In keeping with Its
special temperature. There would be elec.
trio lights throughout and perfect ventila-
ton would bo secured. Tho cost of tho
undertaking Is estimated mt 81, 500. 600, as-
suming tho lowest gallery depth Mt 4, 500
feot. AS n mere spectacle M. Groussot Is
confident th9t tho venture would pay, but
ho hopes to strike upon n fresh source Of
light. heat and forcc. Now Yoik Sun.

HANDCUFFS ON HIS ANKLES.

Bernard Holland had an idea that it
would be something of a novelty to sleep
In the shop where he earned his daily
sustenance. He put the idea into execu-
ton, and about . o'clock last evening un-
locked the door OF the carriage shop of
Stephen Sweet. He removed his coat,
vest, shoes and hat, laid down uron a
pile of carriage cushions and was soon
asleep. About midnight he woke up
and found that his feet had, as he sup
posed, grown together; at least he could
not get them TO leave each other. He
got up, lit gas jet and found that some
one had got into the shop and placed a
pair OF handouts upon his ankles. He
hobbled out into the street and related
his story to officer Gammill who escorted
Holland to station where he was re-
leased from his predicament.

THE Woonsocket Call doesn't need TO
use a column to get around the truth
when the truth itself may be stated as
plainly and simply as this: "Fenders on
electric cars are responsible for about
two-thirds OF the accidents. Persons who
are killed by electric cars might have es-
capped had they not been first knocked
down by the tenders" The trolley cars
OF Providence, without tenders, but with
intelligent and careful employees, have
been run with smaller list Of casualties
