The Late Mr.. Worth.

Charles Frederick Worth, the famous
Paris dressmaker, who died March IL,
was born In Bourne. Lincolnshire. En-
gland, In 1875 AT the age Of ID he was APP
prenticed to printer, his parents desir-
ing that he learn that. trade. but he
evinced a strong hostility to handling
type, and abandoned the printing Office
after he had served about seven months.
He then went to London. and through the
assistance of a friend. secured a position
I'm a Diapers shop. which he left to enter
the employment of Swan & Edgar, drap-
ers. where he first conceived the idea OF
designing fashions through conversations
with the buyers of Swan b Edgar. and
frequently made suggestions which the
heads of the departments were not slow
to see in favorable light. The more he
talked with the buyers the more he re-
solved to so to Paris. and soon began the
study of French. When about q years
OF age he went to Paris. and shortly after
his arrival In that city secured position
with Gagelin & Co, and In a few years
was placed at the head of a department.
In his new capacity he made many new
departures. While in the employ of Gage
lin & Co he received medals for displays
at the London and Paris expositions.
Later he established the firm of Worth
& Boberg. and in 1870 founded the famous
house OF Worth. His fame as q dress
maker abounded, and among the many
admirers of his skill was the ex-Empress
Eugene, for whom he made a great many
elegant dresses.

Possibilities OF Irrigation.


The Seattle Post-Intelligencer devotes
nearly an entire page to the irrigating
possibilities Of Central Washington. en-
bracing Ktttitas and Yakima counties.
The article Is profuseiy illustrated and
goes more into detail than Is usual with
the. Sound papers. which have hitherto
given but little attention to irrigation.
The Capital knows from actual observa-
ton that twenty acres of the irrigabie
lands In the vicinity OF Ellensburg. will
yield better crops and larger profits than
the farms Of FIVE times the acreage in
Kansas, Nebraska and the Middle West
generally. and the work Is accomplished
At less expense and trouble. We have In
Kitfitas valley about 900 900 acres that are
susceptible of irrigation and high cuiti-
walton: divided into twenty acre farms.
we would have 10,u00 farmers. and 1900
well improved farms would be marvel.
as they would be the happy, prosperous
homes of at least 5000 people. This Is
not an exaggerated estimate, nor Is the
picture ovardrawn. It Is really what
should be andw hat will be when the Won
derful productive qualities of this bunch
grass and sage brush soil are made known
to the world. There is scarcely q farmer
In the Kittitas valley who would not be
willing to subdivide his $50 acres. and thus
aid In peopling the country and bring
ing IL up to a higher state Of cultivation
Twenty acres are enough, and this Is the
tendency Of the times-smalleH farms and
higher cultivation.

intensity the humiliation thrust upon this
state by the late forty-day fiasco at Sa-

A STARTLING JAIL BREAK.

The community win Re startled this
morning 60 learn OF the daring Jail break
engineered and carried To q successful
contamination BY that nsoss desperate
criminal. Thomas Eianek.
So sktiifuIIy was the scheme manipu-
Lated that the jail doors were literally
thrown wide open ard the twensy-two
prisoners confined there. among whom
were nine convicted murders. were invited
TO walk out snd regain their liberty II
thsy desired TO do So
Eleven OF the prisoners awaited them
selves Of BIaneks offer, but two Of them.
Murphy and Wilcox. 20 their credit be II
said. Immediately surrendered themselves
to the police and notified them OF tbs
daring act that had beer perpetrated.
The night TALLER. one Jerry" yerbury by
name. was bound and locked in the cell
vacated by Blanck.
The enornsity or this outrage is 50 great
that Il IL almost Impossible 10 appreciate
1t. That there has been a gross breach OF
trust somewhere goes without saying.
The thing 20 do In 10 fastcn the responsi-
biiity where IL belongs. and IL such a
thing IL possible TO punish the man or
men who have exposed this community
TO the attacks OF such bloodthirsty scoun-
dreIs as Blanek and his associates.
From all the information that Ia now
at hand IL would not seem diflicuh to
faHten the responsibility where X belongs.
II appears that Yerbury. the man whose
duty IL was TO guard the prisoners, abso-
lmteiy lost his nerve at a critical moment,
and at the mnzzIe OF fake wooden
pistol permitted himself TO be led like a
lamb 10 the slaughter TO the grating of
Bianck's cell and then deliberately bound
himself with rope furnished by Bianck.
After this cowardly act he unlocked the
cells and let loose these desperate GRIM
mails upon the public.
IL 10 difficult to properly characterize
such wiilfuI disregard OF duty. The jailar
knew the character OF the men whom he
was placed to guard. He knew that he
was dealing with desperate men, and he
should have conducted himself according
ly. When. however. he found himself In
position where 1t became his duty to
take the chance OF losing his own life or
of guarding the interests intrusted to his
care there should have been no hesita-
ton
There are times when a man In the per-
Torrance of public duty must risk his
own life TO pSotect the lives and property
of others. The man who rises to the
emergency simply does his duty, the man
who falls to do II Is a coward.
The action of Yerbury Is the more mex
cnsable because he should have known
that even IL Bianck had had real pistol.
and not the piece Of carved wood that he
really held. he would never have shot
him. knowing. as he did perfectly well.
that 10 would have awaited him nothing.
There should be q thorough investiga-.
ton of the matter. and no stone should
be left unturned 10 recapture the escaped
criminals In the meantime Jerry" Yer
bury should be relieved from duty. He is
moro sitted apparently to look after the
stray ours In the city pound than to
guard a lot of dangerous criminals.
