DUFFY STOLE A JAIL.

1t Was Extraordinary Achievement
But 1t WIS benefit to HIS Friends.
From the Kansas City Star.
This is the narrative of Duffy's theft
of a Jail and prisoner therein. Mr..
Duffy, from the score of the nations
intellect, balloonist, manfish, tourist
and orator, had found a friend who
had INDUCED him to the extent of the
following items, to-wit: Three drinks,
one supper, one cigar. This story was
his payment therefor. He unbuttoned
his vest, for he had consumed a large,
thick steak, two dishes of potatoes,
two platefuls of bread, two cups of cof-
fee, three large, heavy flannel cakes
and a glass of milk.
'Thrue oratory and me gintlemanly
instincts often lead me into pleasant
fields and the company of conjanial
companions" he began. II oncet COM
mitted most shameful larceny in the
state of Indianny. l was tourin' with
a friend, an we had journeyed as far
as Jay county. Now, we can't tell me
that the people of a county with such
a name can cope with a set of brains
from Boston. We had reached the
town of Portland. Me friend commit
ted the indiscretion of becoming hum
CRY an was arrested. l brought me
intellect to gear upon the sitooation an
was the county safe. an the jail had
recently been burned to the ground.
The sheriff, therefore, kept his prison
ers in box car down on the railroad
throck, the same bein' loaned by a con-
sentative company, which didn't want
the prisoners beatin' their way on its
trains. Me friend was rumped into this
Jail; me an me intellect stayed on the
outside.
Il agitated me thinker all day an by
nightfall had planned the deliverance
of me friend an his fellow-incarcer-
ates. At supper tonne the gyard went
away hime. leavin' his lantern by the
thrack side. 1t was me intintion to
pry the door off the car, an / was
lookin' about for a pry. when 1 heard
a train comm. Me instinct was equal
to the emergency. / took the guards

was of the way freight species, the
hardest of all fer a tourist to travel
under. Thet rain stopped an the con-
ductor says kind o. impedint like:
'What'n'n dele shtop this train fer?

SANK IN THE ouIcksANp.
A Danish Bark Runs Ashore and Is En-
quilted In The Treacherous stun.

n banish Bark Runs Ashore and Is En-
quilted In he Treacherous stun.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
The Pacific Coast Steamship COM
pany's steamer Coos Bay. which ar
rived in port recently from the Mexi-
can coast. brought news of the loss at
Altata Of the Danish bark Lottie.
1t was during the latter part of last
month that the Lottie, having finished
loading heavy cargo of dye wood,
prepared to sail for Hamburg. Owing
10 the dangerous character Of the har-
Dor of Altata, no vessel dares to at
tempt leaving 1t without the assistance
of a towboat. There are two separate
channels in the bay, the dividing line
being long and treacherous bar of
quicksand. Captain Clausen of the
Lottie, summoned to his aid the steam
schooner Altata. which is about the
only available vessel for towing service
there.
The bark got along well enough in
the wake of the steamer until she
reached a narrow portion of the chan
mel she was traversing at a point
where the bar was breaking with usual
force. Here the Lottie got into trouble.
Swinging around on the hawser she
struck a shallow spot, and in a moment
began pounding upon the bar. The
Altata could not pull the bark out of
her perilous position. The steamer
stayed with the Dane during the night,
still vainly striving to get her off the
bar. and finally, when she made an
unusually powerful effort, the hawser
parted and the bark became wedged
securely in the sand.
The captain and crew of the Lottie
knew what IL meant to go ashore in
quicksand and they lost no time in
getting out the boats and making for
the shore.
At daylight the sea was calmer, and
Captain Clausen and some of his men
visited their vessels. All that re-
mained in sight was her deck house and
masts. the hull having disappeared in
the quicksand. The men. although
realizing that IL was a risky under
taking, crawled upon the deck house
and in that way managed to get into
their living quarters. They recovered
their clothes and valuables, and the
captain secured his instruments
and charts.
Captain Jensen of the Coos Bay says
that when he left Altata about IL days
ago the Lottie had completely disap-
peared.

Results of an Experiment Recently Tested
at Birming ha m, England.
From the Westminster Gazette.
An interesting experiment is being
made in the city of Birmingham, al
ready famous as the best-governed city
in the world, as everyone knows. 1t is
in this city that the people own the
markets and grow vegetables, milk
eggs and poultry cheaper than trades
men can sell them; it is IN this city
that ashes and street refuse are made
into a paving stone and the waste of
the closets is turned into poudrette. 1t
is in this city, also. that the people own
the gasworks and make money out of
them, besides selling themselves gas
cheaper than any other persons can
get ii. 1t is in this city that the worst
Of the slums have been bought by the
government and turned into a region
of palaces, and now we are to read
that they are experimenting there in
the line Of owning the gin MILL The
experiment was made by the secretary
to the water department Of the Biz
mingham corporation According TO in
structions, a public house was opened
in September. 1894. at Elan village. for
the purpose of catering for the wants
of several hundred men and families.
The rules of the management" says
my informant, were decidedly strin-
gent. and the success of the public
house is therefore more important.
The public house is opened daily be-

a profound subject, will take a posi-
ton in the involved premises and will
argue with and dispute a scientist in
the especial cult under consideration.
With his innate or intuitive conviction
he will in his own way challenge fig
ures and logic. And what is more he
will make an impression. He has made
it long ago, as was shown clearly by
the Chicago convention and has been
shown in the preliminaries at st.

ers. Quite to the contrary. the lead

1t is pulling; it is peculiar: it is sur
prising, but it is not entirely myste"-
ious. The truth is that for many
years the vast portion of American
citizenship has had its thinking done
for it. Now it has commenced to
think and reason in its own best way.
Thus is declared or created revolu-
ton that for the time ends the reign
of bossism and that no matter what
its immediate results, can not but re-
sun in the incubation of the desire for
knowledge that is satisfied only by
study and investigation.

An underwriting company in New
York, insures employees their posi-
tons. Apparently this insurance bus
mess will never reach limits. AS has
been said, it is possible now for man
not only to insure his life, but that of
his horse as well, and his wife's best
clothes. He can insure himself
against fire, cyclone and burglars, and
loss through dishonest employees. He
can insure his plate glass against the
predatory brick, and if the same mis-
sile chances to hit him on the head
his accident policy pays his doctors
bills. Thus the mishaps of life are in
a sense forestalled, and the prudent
citizen is enabled to pluck certainty
from the heart of vicissitude.
