leap again, to the wild delight of the crowd. For the first half hour it was mere play to the plueky little terrier, but after awhile things began to grow monotonous. The dog lay down for & rest, and the rat jumped over him.
 This was too much for canine flesh and blood to stand. He leaped up again, and now the contest kept up until the dog fell to the pavement from sheer ex- haustion. Painting and with eyes pro truding, he made a few more intellectual snaps at the rubber rat, then turned over on his side and laid his head on the pavement. His owner worked his way through the crowd, picked up his pet in his arms, uttered few remarks and offered to lick the man who had killed his dog. The crowd jeered and dispersed, while the small boy strolled down the street in search of another ambitious rat terrier. Chicago News.

STORIES OF THE DAY.
A Rattlesnake Hunter In an Awkward
 Predfcamant.

Predicament.
 Fred Edgar of Corning, N. Y., went out on the hills near that place the other day to hunt rattlesnakes. He discovered a fine yellow one and clapped forked stick over its neck, and running his hand up along the snakes body to the back of its head grasped the snake around the neck and started home with it. Ed gar didn't know the size of the job he had undertaken. The rattler twisted its long body around his arm and showed its sharp fangs as it glared at it's captor, who was frightened almost into fits, but did not dare to release the deadly snake, fearing that it would instantly sink its fangs into him. He got home with the snake at last, and everybody promptly ran away, leaving Edgar still handicapped by the rattler, which vir- tually had possession of him instead of him having the snake.
 After an hours unpleasant quandary Edgar at last hit upon plan to get his release from the snake Still grasping it by the neck, he managed to make a
 
 engaged hand This he slipped over the rattler head and had it snared He then jerked the snake out of the hand that had grasped it so long, and it fell on the ground some distance away Tethering the snake with the string Ed gar got box and imprisoned his prize When he was asked why he didn' choke the rattler to death and end the un- pleasant situation at once, Well, I'll be dinged 70 said he ''I never thought of thatl" He says $1,000 in cash wouldn't tempt him to repeat his per formance with that or any other rat tlesnake.
 The Terrier and the Indestructible Rat.
 A rat, a terrier and small boy caused thousands of people to congre- gate on West Madison street about 9 o'clock last night, and it was not real rat either. The rat, which was most natural looking rubber affair, was con nected with a long thin pipe and a bulb Every time the boy squeezed the bulb the rat would leap forward in a most lifelike manner, and the ladies on the street would shriek with terror and gather up their skirts. This delighted the crowd which surged down on the boy and the rat from every direction.
 The fun was kept up for an hour or more, even the policeman on the beat stopping now and then for good laugh Suddenly, however, sleek look ing rat terrier sprung through the crowd and made for his mortal enemy. Down he bounced. The boy gave the bulb jab, and the rat leaped about six feet. Again the dog made spring. This time he caught the rat in his teeth, and the pressure caused it to give out a most hfelike squeak, which delighted the dog and audience alike.
 By this time the street was packed. Time after time the dog would shake the rat and put it down. only to see it

RAYMOND kearse, OF BarnwelI, IS
once agaln at liberty to 60 and do as
he pleases. He has been in prison Tor
about a year. having been convicted
Of arson in March, 1891. 1t appears
that Kearse was convicted on circum-
stntial evidence in which foot prints
were prominent feature. There has,
since the trial, been strong reason to
believe that kearse was not the guilty
party and the jury in the case has
ioined in the petition for his pardon.
Judge Norton joined in the applica-
ton fo- the pardon. and about 1,50C
people thought that kearse ought to
be pardoned. Mr. l. Tobin has persls,
tently worked for the pardon OF
kearse, as he was satisfied that the
man was not guilty. kearse had been
sentenced to ten years Imprisonment.

Horrors of a Mexican Jail.

HOUSTON, Tex, April 2.-John Il.
Manly, locomotive engineer. who
recently escaped from the coal mines
about eight miles from Monterey,
Mexico, IS in the city. He said:
81 was born in Lexington, Ky,
where my father was well known.
Years ago l went to Mexico as an en-
gineer on the International road.
About seven years ago we backed out
of siding and ran over and killed a
Mexican peon. At the next station
our crew were arrested and thrown
into prison. We were refused inter
course with friends. Then, without
any trial, we were taken to Mine No:
9, near Monterey: There are still
twenty or thirty Americans there.
We could not communicate with the
outside world. One night last Janu,
ary our guard got drunk on smuggled
whiskey, and l took chunk OF
coal and smashed in his head, sum
moned my companions, Billy Hughes
nv fireman, Billy Clark the conductor,
and Frank Goodwin and Billy StillwelI
the brakemen, all Americans. We
slipped up behind another guard and
knocked him in the head and dropped
his body to the bottom of the shaft
222 feet below. Taking the pistols
off the dead guards, We struck for the
mountains and travelled only by night
with stars as our guides, avoiding al
villages and railways. We walked
three weary months, living off roots
herbs and an occasional rabbit. About
twelve years ago I saw John Reynold:
shot for having killed Mexican II
self-defense. Reynolds was from Sy
racuse, n. Y. and was only l6 year:
old. Some Of the prisoners in Mine
No. 8 have been confined twenty years
and none of them ever had the sem
blance of a trial.
Manley tells this story in straight
forward way and impcesses one witt
the truth of his statements. He say
that treatment accorded the prisoner
is worse than in Siberia.

OFFICIAL POLITICIANS.
President Cleveland Goes Back on his Civil
Service Record.

Washington, April PA strong
and vigorous fight against the free and
unlimited coinage of silver independ-
ent of international agreement, is to
be made by the administration. With
that end in view officers of the various
executive neutrality-suspicious. under
the present administration are being
urged to organize Systematically Tor
the purpose of conducting the contest
along the lines laid down in the Presl-
dents message. Many Of the higher
officials, who enjoy regulations at
home as stump speakers, will prob
ably take to the field early in the
summer and others are even now en-
gagged in writing letters to their local
papers or personal friends, impressing
upon them the importance of sustain
| ing the administration in the posltson
it has outlined. Federal officers IN
the several States will be organized as
nucleus about which all who uphold
the administration or rather, who are
opposed to the free and unlimited coin
ace of silver, will be expected to rally.
There are nearly 100000 government
officers, postmasters, internal revenue
officers, customs officers, district attor-
news and innumeraDle contractors
scattered throughout the country.
These will be expected to do the ag-
eressive fighting in that field and will
be amply furnished with documents
and the necessary sinews of war from
Washington. Nearly all the cabinet
officers will take the stump for one or
more speeches. Secretary Carlisle will
certainly make two or more speeches
in the Kentucky campaign. Secretary
Morton will deliver an address IN
Chicago and perhaps one inst. Louis.
Secretary Herbert and Congressman
Clarke will probably speak, in Alabama.
Postmaster General Wilson IS being
urged to 90 West and speak in Ill,
inois and Indiana and may find time
to do so late. in the summer.
The President is represented as be-
ing thoroughly in earnest IN the pro
posed crusade against free and unllmlt'
ed coinage of silver, and will have no
stone unturned TO prevent the free sill
yer sentiment from gaining headway
and to crush it out ifpossible. As tariff
reform was the test of party fealty IN
his campaign for the presidential nom
ination, active support Of his demand
for the repeal Of the Sherman purchas
ing clause the test of party fealty IL
1894. so in 1895 the test of party fealty
will be uncompromising opposition te
the free and unlimited coinage o.
Isilyer by the United States lndepend-
ent of international agreement. Per
fected State organizations with tins
end in view are now being formed
and these organizations will beeStend
ed to the counties.
