CHICAGO. Aug. 2l.-Lawyer L. L.
Harris has lost all faith in humanity
also a brand new bicycle.
This morning she attorney was en-
gagged to defend a professional Dor
rover before Justice Richardson at
the ArmOry Police Court.
In order to assure himself that no
one could take liberties with his
bike while conducting the ease,
Mr.. Harris wheeled it into the general
office and leaned it against the steam
pipes. Then he tied a placard on the
wheel. as follows:
. This bicycle Is the property OF "a {.
: legal gentleman, who will be back d:
6: in twenty minutes. :
Mr. Harris then entered the court
room. and, after ~expounding the stat
ute and paving the air for half an
hour. lost his case and his fee.
After pocketing his pride in lieu of
his fee. the attorney returned to the
office. but his bike" va gone. In
its place was another placard. upon
| which we're these words:
: To the Legal Gentleman ~: @:
Your wheel was taken by an :
other gentleman who is a ''scorch- {:
: err" He wont be back at all. :
Mr.. Harris swore inwardly and
howled outwardly: filed complaints
with Everybody from ''Montag," the
Janitor. to Capt. Koch. and then
swore out Il warrant for John Doe.
The last seen of the legal gentle
man" he was walking radidly toward
Inspector Fitzpatrick's Office. bent On

For while he looked away, quicker
than you could say scat" easily and
gently the prisoner leaned over and
with his bound hands snaked the beau
tiful, new ivory-handled six-shootel
from its holster, and when the deputy
looked around he looked right square
into its muzzle and the countenanee OF
his former prisoner behind it looked
| like trouble. He was caught. The
conditions were reversed, and he was
too shocked and surprised to say a
word.
''Get down off that horse" these
words rang quick and sharp.
The deputy was brave man, but he
was sensible and not foolhardy. He
got down.
Walk out there in the road ten feet;
turn around and stand still"
The deputy walked ten feet as near
as he could estimate, and, turning
around, stood at attention like a we'll
drilled soldier. While he was doing
this the man dismounted.
Throw the key to these things over
here to me-"
Really the deputy ought not to have
brought that key along, but he had it,
and he threw it over 1t fell in the dust
at the mans feet. The man kneeled
down, laid the gun just in front of him,
picked up the key. and, using his teeth,
unlocked the handouts. They dropped
to the ground and he was free. The
deputy watched him in a dazed kind of
way, trying vainly to think of some
thing to say or do. He wasn't given
time.
go over to that fence on your
right"
Over the deputy marched.
Put one hand over that second
strand of wire as far as your wrist and
the other under it."
The deputy obeyed.
Then the man walked up with the
pistol in one hand, and with the other
he snapped the handouts on the
deputy's wrists and on the inclosed
strand of wire. The deputy was sealed
to that wire fence as tight as if he had
been frozen there.
Meanwhile the horses were quietly
grazing along the roadside. The free
man disengaged them from each other.
and, mounting his own, rode up to the
deputy, shook the key at him and said:
When you arrest a man again treat
him as a gentleman. I'll keep this key
as a memento and wear it as watch
charm. Adios and au revoir." OFF he
cantered down the road.
Two hours after old man Peabody
came riding along on his saddle mare
Sally. He noticed loose horse graz
ing down the road and a man near by
standing close up against the fence.
The man at once began to ''holler" to
him. He noticed the man didn't wave
his hands. so he rode down and investi.
gated.
The old man had pocketknife with
a file blade. and, with some loss OF
sweat, released the deputy from the
wire. But he could do nothing with

A WASHER MASHED.
Not Literally, But He Might just as Well
Have Been.


The young swell who had just
lunched at a Clark street restaurant
stepped up to the cashiers desk to pay
his bill. He wore a spotless light
brown suit and a most engaging smile.
All" he said to the trim and attrac-
tive young woman behind the railing,
Il saw you on the street car the other
morning."
Did you?" she responded, taking his
money and check and making change.
Yes. couldn't see your face very
well, but l knew you by the pretty red
dress"
That's strange. This is the first
time I've worn it. I've been wearing
blue dress until to-day"
We'll, II knew it was a very pro-
nounced color, you know. I-aw-you're
right. 1t was blue. 1 saw the gentle
man that was with you, too. l think
you and he looked a good deal alike"
Il thought you said you couldn't see
my face very we'll"
"Er-not very well, of course, but
still-well, l couldn't see his face
either, exactly. But you looked alike.
He was your brother, wasn't hep
No, he was my husband. Will you
please step aside. You're in the way
of that gentleman behind you"
And he stepped aside and went out,
with the engaging smile frozen fast TO
his face.-Chicago Tribune.

AWFUL DISASTER.
Explosion In a New Mexico Coal Mine
More Than n Score Killed.

| ALBUQUERQUE, n. NJ, Feb. 2S.-IYhite
Ash coal mine, miles from Cerrillos,
was the scene of terrible explosion a
little before noon yesterday Thirty
seven men were working in four levels
when the disaster occurred. Not
until evening were searehers able
to descend, owing to the poison
Gus vapors. In the course of half
an hour several dead were sent up
Then il was feared that not a soul of
the thirty-seven had escaped. Later
in the evening eleven dying miners
were discovered in a bunch. They
were probably overcome in an effort to
escape. The explosion is thought to
be due to accidental breaking into an
abandoned chamber charged with gas.
Owing to the smoke. dust and nox-
ious vapor that filed every approach to
the workings, two hours elapsed be-
fore any progress could be made toward
effecting a rescue, and the efforts were
cruelty rewarded, for up to clock
but one miner had been reached. His
dead body was found near the en-
trance. Three hours later the res
cuers succeeded in reaching the left
fourth level and the dead bodies of
several men were brought out. The
sight about the mine was heart-rend-
ing in the extreme. Frantic wives,
many of them carrying babies in their
arms, having children elinging to their
skirts or to them stood at the entrance
of the mine for hours, amid tears and
prayers, watching and waiting, while
hundreds of men vainly struggled to
gain an entrance further into the mine.
So dense was the smoke at one time
during the afternoon that many
thought the mine had taken fire and
the conduct of the wives and mothers
when this was announced as a prob
ability was pitiabIe in the extreme
Up to o'clock the gas continued to
pour forth from the single opening in
the mine in such volume as to make
the progress of the rescuers very diff
cult. but an hour later the noxious
vapors cleared away and the work of
recovering the dead bodies began to be
more successful.
TWENTY-FIVE men are still in the low
er workings of the mine, and it is not
thought possible they are alive. The
mine was worked through single in
cline shaft extending 5000 feet in at
an incline of 30 degrees. and
seems to have been defective as
respects ventilation. The mouth of
the shaft is the sole means of
egress. Nobody seems to know just
how many men went into the shaft
this morning. Ordinarily $50 men are
employed, but being Wednesday, it is
said scarcely half the usual quota of
men were at work. Representative
Leaden, lately employed there, said
last night he is confident that not less
than eighty-five men must have been
in the workings at the time of the ex.
plosion. The latest reports from the
scene by telephone are that twenty
two dead bodies have thus far been re-
covered.

KANSAS LEGISLATURE
The Session May Extend Until Wednesday,
Board of Health Appropriation Kftled-

TOPEKA, Kan, March 5i-The legis-
lature did not conclude its. labors last
night. At noon yesterday all business
ceased except messages from the gov
ernor, reports of conference commit
tees and appropriation bills Very lit
tie was done in either house i'm the
afternoon. At the evening session a
number of appropriation bills were
passed. The miscellaneous appropria-
ton bill was read and is now in the
hands of the conference committee.
The house killed the appropriation
for the state board of health, recom-
mended by the senate, and the matter
was referred to the conference commit
tee. The senate bill for the support OF
the fisheries department was amended
in the house by an appropriation of
81, 600 to buy fish.
1t was thought that both houses
day, although contingencies may arise
which will keep them here till night.
Representative Remington, chairman
of the house ways and means commit
tee, said that he would not be surprised
IL the session lasts till some time
Wednesday.
The bill reducing the fees of the state
printer 20 per cent, which consumed
much time in the house last week, died
in the senate yesterday. When the
friends of the bill went around to see
about it they found it buried under
about 300 others, and were unable to
raise it.
Senator Taylor's bill, which reduced
the salaries and fees of county officers
in Wyandotte county, was defeated in
the house yesterday afternoon. Sem
stor Taylor claims the bill would have
saved the taxpayers SEQ, 900 annually.
The Legislative, executive and judi
cial appropriation bills were passed in
the senate before noon and prior to the
recess resolution was introduced by
Mr.. Dennison declaring that the dig
nifty, ability and courtesy of the presi-
dent of the senate, James A. Troutman,
during the present session of the SEN
ate had given him a worthy place in
the esteem of the members and asking
him to carry with him their best wishes
for his future welfare and prosperity.
The resolution was unanimously car
ried by a rising vote.

A DAY DREAM.

can see her now. how piaialy 70 my memory
comes the sight
or that sweet old wrinkled face. TO me 50
dear;
Framed in curls that formed a halo Of the
softest. purest white:
Lighted up by eyes SO tender, blue aud clear.
Oh the wondrous tales she told,
OF the robber knights Of old.
That used TO fill my boyish soul with dread.
But she brushed away all fear
With each tangled lock Of hair.
As she kissed and tucked me in my trundle
bed
What a tender, loving smile was always on
that dear old face:
And what music did that thin, sweet voice
employ;
What a world OF consolation found in that
boundless grace
That would let her see no evil in her boy.
Oh, how beautifully blessed,
Was the curly head that pressed
That bosom. as she crOoned some quaint old
song;
Gently rocking to and fro
In the evenings freight glow,
Safely shielded from all chance OF harm or
wrong.
Many years have come and gone since saw
that dear old face:
Many years Of toll and blessing. pain and JOY;
But there always will remain within my heart
a tender place,
For that guardian angel to a Maynard boy.
Little prayers learned at her knee,
Little stories told to me,
In those early days, come crowding back the
while
And. oh. what would l not give
Ger those days again to live.
BaSxing in my dear old granny's tender
smile.

GEN. BISSELL RESIGNS.
He VIII Retire from President Cleveland
Cabinet-WiIsOn VIII BE His Successor.

He Will Retire from President CIeveland's
Cabinet-wilsOnW VIII BE His Successor.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Postmaster-
General Bissell late yesterday after.
noon placed in the hands of President
Cleveland his resignation, to be ac.
copied upon the appointment of his
successor. An Associated press re-
porter called upon him, and, in reply
to questions, Mr.. Bissell said: Il have
placed my resignation in the hands of
the president. The reasons for my SO
doing is that my professional work at
home demands my attention, and feel
that l cannot longer remain away
from it. The business of the depart
ment is in good condition, and Its
transfer to my successor can be made
without affecting the public service"
1t can be stated that unless the presi-
dent changes his mind, Congressman
Wilson's name will go to the senate as
the successor of Mr.. Bissell, and it is
more than probable that he will be
honored by an immediate confirmation
on the part of the senate. as was semi
tor Ransom few days since, when he
was appointed minister to Mexico.
