WHERE WOMAN ESCAPES.
Female Criminals Are LenientIy Dealt
with in Austria.


with in Austria.
In Austria woman is never Grim
inal. She may murder, steal, burn and
SANDER without fear of coming to the
gallows. She is not sent toan ordinary
prison for her sins, the worst that can
befall her being the taking up of her
abode for time in some convent.
The convent to which Vienna sends
her erring sisters is only few miles out
of town. The building was once a
castle and there is nothing about it to
indicate that it is prison. The court
yard stands open all day long and there
is never a guard in sight. The door
keeper is a pretty little 1un whom a
good-sized criminal could pick up under
one arm. The superior is tall, grace
full woman who moves with the dignity
of gentlewoman, but who is business
to her finger tips.
During the day the 50 or more women
prisoners assemble in a large, cheerful
room where they engage in various oc-
equations. Some make match boxes or
buttons; others make fine lace, en-
broidery Or wool work. \ nun with a
strong, decided face is the present cen
sor of manners and morals. She sits
in the room on raised platform to
guard against the frequenu outburscs Of
temper which disturb the serenity Of
the day occasionally.
The women there at present, says a
writer, are so kindly and gentle in ap-
pearance and differ so completely from
ones preconceived notion of criminals
that it is hard to believe them to be
hardened characters. An insignificant
little woman with gentle, depreca ting
smile is in the convent because she has
committed more murders than she has
fingers on her hands. There is no place
else to put her.
One of the prisoners is delicate
blonde girl with heavenly blue eyes and
an enchanting smile. She set a house
on fire with the hope of killing man
and his five children. This was acct
dentally referred to in her hearing one
day, and if there had been a knife handy
there is no doubt she would have killed
the inspector who made the remark
An expression Of ferocity uncomfortable
to look upon came to her lovely face and
TRANSPORTED it into something horrible.

SPRING APPROACHES.
With 1t Improvement in Business Has
Begun.

New York, April 4.-R. G. Dun &,
Co.. in their weekly review of trade say:
1.-The Improvement expected with spring
weather begins, though in some branches
OF business scarcely visible. AS consum-
els make spring purchases they must
lessen stock and compel less buying. The
stocks taken in advance Of consumers de-
mands last summer have been distributed
far more slowly than was expected, but
months of waiting have helped to lessen
the load which it is hoped spring buying
will clear away. Approximations of for
eign or financial difficulties have hindered,
but are now scarcely felt. Gold exports
are rumored, but at this season are so far
natural that they have no such power to
cause alarm as they had in winter. The
gigantic steel combination is expected to
have great influence in sustaining mar
kets and stimulating confidence, an!
though such operations often miss the Sue
cess they seek, they rarely fail to kindla
speculative buying for a time.
'Woolen manufacture does not gain In
orders, and a large part of the machinery
is stopped. Prices Of wool have fallen ~
per cent. Cotton mills still pile up goods
in advance Of orders, as reductions in
prices have failed as yet to stimulate buy
ing. Speculation in products has been
t. me. Wheat has slightly advanced, and
II later reports of injury from extensive
vance more, though western receipts con-
tinue nearly so per cent. larger than last
year. Corn exports are large and receipts
also heavy, but pork has declined IS cents
per barrel. Speculation in stocks has not
been active, though railroads average
nearly one dollar per share higher than
last week. The regular quarterly state
ment Of failures shows 4.031 with liabili-
ties of 57,425,135, against $500 last year,
with liabilities of s47. S13.6S2''

A RESCUED GOOSE.
Her Extraordinary Series of Adventures
and Strange DenOuement.

Her Extraordinary Series of Adventures
and Strange Denouement.
During the civil war the state OF
Louisiana established at Mount Leb-
anon, in Bienville parish, laboratory
Tor the preparation of medicines to be
used in the confederate service. To
supply the water needed a deep we'll
was dug. After the war all the build
ings connected with the laboratory
were destroyed by fire, and the we'll
remained yawning and uncurbed. Thus
it has remained ever since, for no one
uses it, and it is no ones business to
fill it or cover it over. Apine wood has
grown up about it; and the well has
long served as a. pitfall for animals
that stray in the direction. A Louisi-
ana paper says that when a COW or pig
or any other animal disappears from
the neighboring town, it is commonly
remarked that the animal is cat the
bottom OF the well,'' and that is the
| last that is said about it.
! One day recently fine goose, which
belonged to a gentleman named Mat
thews, WHO lives not far away, strayed
off in the morning, and in the evening
her brood of goslings came "cheeping'
| back without her. It was slrmised
that the goose might have fallen into
| the well.
| Two days afterward, Mr.. Matthews,
rifle in hand, OF his way to join a hunt
| ing party, passed near the old we'll,
and noticed that large hawk appeared
to be greatly interested in something
which was going on in the well.
| The hawk circled round and round
above the opening, diyed into it, re-
appeared screaming, and went down
again. After a succession of suck
movements the hawk finally emerged
from the well with great white load ir
his talons.
1t was the missing goose: and tho
| goose, to Mr.. Matthews establishments.
| had long black snake hanging from
| her beak. A shot from his rifle
brought the trio to the earth, and the
man set about solving the mystery.
The snake appeared to have attempted
to swallow the goose, head first, for
| her beak was sticking in his throat.
so that he could not get away, nor
could she get rid of him.
Evidently after her fall down the
well the goose had found a foothold
on a bit of curling, and had there been
attacked by the snake, with the singu-
lar result described. In that predica-
ment she had been bounced upon by the
| hawk.
Mr.. Matthews killed the snake,
bagged the hawk, and restored the
goose to the bosom OF her grateful fam
! lily; for she was little the worse for her
extraordinary series of adventures. The
hawk was found to measure five feet
from tip to tip of it's outstretched
wings.-Youth's Companion.

DIGGER THERAPEUTICS.
An Indian Medicine Mans Treatment for
Inflammatory Rheumatism.

An Indian Medicine Mans Treatment for
II Inhammatory Rheumatism.
Il saw Digger Indian medicine man
treat another old Indian for rheuma-
tism few days ago." said DR.. W. L.
Berry, land I can assure you it was
something new in therapeutics. was
travelling in Mendicino county when
young buck who spoke good English
Informed ME that one of the Indians
lad devils in his legs and the medicine
man would take them out at the
rancheria. Of course I was anxious to
see the operation.
when L reached the scene I saw
pile of dry wood with green willow
boughs heaped over it. The old Indian,
who was suffering from inflammatory
rheumatism, was carried out in blan-
ket, the corners of which were tied
around his neck, while his feet stuck
out through couple Of holes. He was
placed on another wet blanket that
was spread over the willow boughs;
strings were run from his big toes to
the tops of two little saplings about 80
feet away and lizards, toads, frogs,
water dogs and garter snakes were tied
all along the string at intervals of six
inches.
'Then the medicine man set fire to
the dry wood and danced around the
fire till the paint and perspiration on
his body shone like varnish. All the
while he shouted appeals to the Great
Medicine Man up above to use his in
fuence in persuading the devils to
leave the victims legs. He threatened
that the reptiles on the strings, which
are supposed to be the favorites of evil
spirits, should be tortured till their
masters left the victim of their tor
ments.
1.-THE old fellow on the fire COM
menced getting hot, and he yelled MUIR
der for fully five minutes before the
medicine man and his assistants took
him off the fire. The old fellow was
| almost roasted, but they carried him
down and ducked him in the cold water
of the little creek that ran by the
1ancheria. Then they placed him on
his feet again, but he was still unable
to walk. He was placed on the blanket
and grilled again ana again ducked.
This operation was repeated till the
Door old fellow tottered half dozen
steps to avoid further torture and theE
the medicine man announced q cure.''

Declare for Sound Money Protection and
Cuban Belligerency.
Chicago, Apci. 1.-The delegates to
the fifth annual convention of the
American Republican College league
began and concluded the business that
brought them to Chicago in two ses-
sions Friday. The next convention will
be held in Minneapolis. James Martin
Perkins, Of Harvard law school (senior
class of '96), was after warm contest
selected as president of the league for
the coming year.
The resolutions contain no indorse-
ment of any particular candidate for
the presidential nomination. They re-
affirm the doctrine of protection to
American industries and the principles
of commercial reciprocity as enunci-
ated by James G. Blaine, indorse the
Monroe doctrine and express sympathy
with the Cuban revolutionists, coupled
with the opinion that they are entitled
to the granting of belligerent rights.
The financial plank declares for an
honest and sound national currency,
whose character shall in no way i'm
pair the national credit at home or
abroad.
A banquet at the Auditorium hotel
in the evening was well attended. Adj
dresses were made by several gentle
men, the most prominent being Sen
ator Thurston, of Nebraska. Every
reference to Mckinley created such IN
bounded enthusiasm as to indicate cas-
lily the feeling of those present with
reference to the contest for the presi-
Dental nomination.

MINNESOTA STATE NEWS.
A Chance for Each County.

The Grand Army encampment COM
mittees are at work on a plan of bring
ing the resources Of each county of the
state before the crowds who will attend
the national encampment next Sept
ember in st. Paul. The object is to
give each county opportunity to build
an arch, Or some other form of display,
along Third street, and on other streets
where the crowds of visitors from
abroad will congregate. This matter
has been brought to the attention of
one Or two counties, and other will be
asked TO participate in the movement.
1t will afford the best possible advertis-
ment for the resources and capa bilities
ofeach county, and should be the means
of starting an immigration movement
that would certainly prove beneficial.
Mr.. ". j. Footner, of St. Paul, has
been chosen by the Grand Army COM
mittee to promote county displays, and
the officials of any county desiring to
participate should apply to him for in
formation, or to ]. S. Pinney, general
secretary of the G. A. R. committees.
If a large number of counties will take
hold and make creditable displays in
the streets of St. Paul during the en-
campment, the good effect Will be
speedy and substantial, while the cost
OF the displays would be comparatively
small for each county. This is feat
ure Of national encampments that will
be wholly new and Minnesota should
not fail to take hold of it quickly and

the new organization, and it is con-
fdently predicted that the news of his

the country. Among the officers who
have resigned are:
Brig. Gen. Edward Fielding.
Brig. Gen. Emma Fielding.
Adjutant Washington Blackhurst.
Adjutant Christopher G. Heron.

ly to the claim of Minnesota that the
swamp lands within the coded portions
of the Red Lake reservation to be open
ed to entry May Is, were granted to
the state by swamp land grant of

the intent of the act was to grant to

disposed of a reserved and same act
made prior to the granting act. Such
reservation of these lands had taken
