HE ROLLED OUT OF JAIL,
Surprising Adventures of IA Man Who
Made BreaI. for Liberty.


Made Break for Liberty.
Ted Dillon, the Ludlow section man
who is charged with forgery has
escaped from Jail a second time. Dill
Ion was apprehended last Saturday,
while making his way to this city from
Ludlow. a station in the desert. He
was charged with stealing time check
and forging the Endorsement in order TO
cash it. He Was taken back to Bar
stow for preliminary examination Mon
day, and the same evening, while the
officers had him out for an airing. he
gave them the slip. The next mOlning
he was found 80 miles away, and he
must have walked the whole distance
that night. He was again taken back
to BarstOW, and the examination post
poned until Fridy morning. Dillon an
nounced that he had sent to San Der
nardinO for an attorney.
This was only play for time, ami his
opportunity came the same evening.
The two officers who had hin. III charge
left him i'll Jail while they went 10 sup
per but they took the precaution to lock
pair OF handouts around billions
ankles. They were so tight that Dill
Ion complained OF the pain. The Off
GERS were gone but a few minutes, hut
when they returned they found the door
open and foot prints in the dust, indi-
eating that Dillon had taken long JUMPS
toward Doggett. The officers followed
the trail a mile and half, and then
lost it, In the morning they disCOv-
cred that Dillon had doubled back to-
ward Barstow. He mad found a hut
frequented by tramps and by means Of
a pair of fishpl&tes had cut the links
holding the handouts together. From
the hut Dillon hoi gone directly to Bar
stow, and from there the officers have
no trace of him. DillOns trip from
the Jail down the track and back To the
hut must have been at no small per-
sonal discomfort. The trail showed
that he had at times rolled for dis
lance of fifty yards. this probably
when the irons became too painful to
permit him TO iunp San Francisco

The American Girl

Shall | dare to express my whole
idea? The severe education that the
American girl receives agrees especial
ly with those who afterTard choose
celibacy. The single woman in the
United States is infinitely superior 10
her European sister; free from the fet-
tiers that often make the French old
maid SO pitiable and ridiculous, she
does not, like the latter, expect to gain
liberty by marriage-on the contrary,
by marriage she would lose that per
feet independence which allows her to
cultivate herself more and more, to rise
into larger sphere than that of the
family, and even of the ordinary social
circle, by consecrating herself TO works
of universal interest. Her intercourse
with men, freed from the childishness
OF Irritation, bears stamp of quietness
and freedom which allows real and
serious inumacieS that no criticisms
could assaii- One sees 10 bitterness
no regrets. Her lot is too beautiful
her life too full, in spite Of the natural
SatisfactiOns renounced-nay, perhaps
on account of that renuLclation Let
there be, however, no misunderstood
ing. II it seems Indispensable to me-
that the woman who. Tor some good
reason or other, does not marry. should
find some sphere for her activity, /
severely blame the sympathetic scorn
Of marriage that comes to many yorr-
Americans who are ambitious to g
something, to distinguish themselves.
IN career, and TO escape from til.
common ways. With these pletendc-
vocations there is often mixed a child
ish vanity. morbid idea OF creating
a sensation, of singing ones self out.
and obstacles are most useful in nrov-
ing their real yalue.--The Forum.

LITERARY REPUTATION,
II May lie Divided Into Two Distinct
Kinds.

1t is curious how great an amount of
WORK 4 man or woman may do-anl
exceedingly good work al that before
beginning TO reap public acclaim and
to hear their names in the mouths Of
men, says the New Bohemian. Reputa-
ton is not made by reciting ones own
deeds, nor do you win your way 10 the
editors heart by that method. Unless
you are so famous that your name has
a decided value, so thai it may be
counted upon TO sell q goodly number
of copies of the magazine, or to call out
press notices of distinct advertisine
value 10 the publication i'll which it
appears, it makes absolutely no differ
ence to an editor whether you have
ever published line. If this one arti-
Gle that you now submit is OF value in
itself he wants it: otherwise not. So |
counsel you not to attempt to advertise
yourself, and succeed only in advertis-
ing your immaturity
There are two distinct sorts OF repu-
tation for the writer One is that
which puts his name before the public
and makes him the rage for an hour OF
a day. This is secured oitener by acct
dent than any other manner. by some
piece of work which has touched the
public fancy for a moment, or that has
attracted the attention of critic or re-
viewer who has the power to make
others accept his verdict. This is the
sort that Mr.. Anthony Hope and Mr.
Stanley Weyman are enjoying lust
now, and which gives their pens the
power to coin words into gold with
startling rapidity. The other sort is
gained in the editorial offices, by send
ing with some frequency work that is
steadily good and occasionally excel
lent. Editors soon awaken to the fact
that they have writer who can be de.
pended on 70 furnish something worth
looking at, at the least, and his manu-
scripts will never go back without care
full examination; g0Odly snare of them
will be accepted subject always to the
condition that single publication will
not use too much OF the work of any
one Writer-and those which 90 back
Will be sent with sincere regret.

WRONGFUL CONVICTION
concerning Innocent Woman WI
Was Sentenced to Death

,oncernin. a. Innocent Woman Whd
Was Sentenced to Death
The Court If Cessation, owing to the
Law which facilitates the revision OF
criminal trials and the PREPARATION Of
judicial errors, is about to re-eNamIne
the case Of an innocent woman, Nine.
Druaux. who in 1887 was sentenced al
Rouen to penal servitude for life on a
charge of having poisoned her husband
and brother, lays the European edition
Of the Herald.
According 10 the Figaro, NINE.
DruauX kept a wineshOp at Malaunay,
Seine-inferieure. Her husband and
brother, a young man Is years old,
named Gustaye DelacroiX, died at her
house at the same time and from the
same mysterious and sudden cause
The brother was found dead under the
bar and the husband was found poi
suned in his bed
The inquiry which was opened
showed that mime. DruauX had several
lovers, among whom was herbalist
This fact, combined with her strange
demeanor. resulted in her trial for muir
der.
Little attention at this time was paid
to a very singular circumstance which
happened shortly after her arrest
Hardly had the police placed Nine
Druaux in her cell on the day of the
supposed crime, when she fell into a
lethargic sleep, from which she could
not be awakened until morning
Nine. DruauX was sentenced to penal
servitude for life After four years her
innocence was proved in the following
curious manner: In the room in which
her husband had been found dead one
of the tenants, who had succeeded her
died under suspicious circumstances
The face of the dead man was swollen
and froth issued from the mouth
identically the same symptoms noticed
IN the case of DruauX and DelaCroiX
1t was impossible this time to con
clude that it was a case of poisoning
The authorities made a careful exami-
nation of the building, and discovered
that this new victim had been asphyxi-
ated by the vapors emanating from a
limekiln adjoining the house
NJ. Julien Goujon, deputy for the
Seine-lnferieure, who had defended
Nine. DruauX, Immediately obtained
her release. But at that time the law
did not allow the case to be tried again
In consequence of the new law, how
ever, the Court of Cessation is going to
consider the question of reparation in
this deplOrable judicial error.

One, which was seen on an imported

ribbon was run. and the effect was ex-

Another grass linen collar in the

Two bulldogs attacked a little boy
5 years old near Racine on Wednes-
day Of last week and literally tore the
child TO pieces. lie and a companion
were picking flowers. The boy who
escaped heard the other call "oh,
mamma, mamma" but was SO badly
frightened he did not look back.
When people went in search of the
little fellow his body was found liter
ally torn to pieces. The eyes were
gouged ont and the scalp torn off.
The dogs belong to toamster. The
man should be arrested for murder.
Keeping such dogs is fully as danger
ous as setting a spring gun. There
are dogs in Manitowoc which are
actually dangerous, particularly to
children, and have been seen to attack
them, hut no protest is made.
