ROBBED BY ARMED FOOTBALLS.
Three Men Held Up and Relieved of
Their Money

IheIr Money.
Three white men, employed at the Geor-
gia and Alabama railway shops, west of
the city, were held up and robbed yester-
day morning while on their way to work
The robbery occurred about half way be-
tween the Florida Central and Peninsular
and Georgia and Alabama yards. The
robbery was committed by party of ne
groes, armed with guns and pistols. The
negroes took what little money the men
had, their coats and vests, and actually
stripped one man to his underclothes. In
this plight the men made their way back
to the city, and reported the robbery.

An American Arctic Clty.

A correspondent of the Spokane
Wash) Spokesman-Review sends to
that paper from Circle City, Alaska, an
account of that singular town, which
has grown up out of the rush Of gold
miners to the Yukon River, and which
derives it's name from the fact that 1t is
within the Arctic circle. Perhaps no
town, inhabited by civilized people, was
ever built before in SO remote and mac
cessible place, even Siberia. It's near
est neighbor, as a settlement, is 240
miles away; this is Forty Mile City, an
other American mining settlement.
Circle City is 1000 miles from ary
place of consequence. To transport
freight to or from the mines which cen
ter at Circle City costs 40 cents a pound
However, at last accounts Circle City
was ''booming" Real estate was ridic-
ulously high The buildings are sub
stantially constructed of logs, which
cost four to six dollars apiece. Rough
whipsawed lumber costs $3.50 a thou
sand The unskilled laborer receives
$40 day for his services, and any kind
of skilled labor is paid two dollars and
half an hour.
For long time every letter that any
Circle City man received cost him 81
to bring up from the coast. Now the
Government brings the letters, but de-
clines to bring newspapers, so that Cir
Gle City, though in 1t every branch of
business is represented, never has
newspaper unless it is brought up by
a newcomer. All the summer the Cir
Gle City people knew nothing about the
Presidential situation-not even who
were the candidates.
However, business was good; the peo
pie, without any lawful government,
made n government of their own, and
lived peaceably and prosperous, eating
canned and desiccated vegetables, with
moose meat in abundance.

Dolls.

Dolls are now manufactured in large
quantities in this country the busi-
ness having been established on per-
manent basis. Until the last fifty
years all dolls, except the home made
rag specimens, were imported from
Switzerland, Tyrol, Steyermarck and
the mountain districts of Germany,
where the industry has been carried on
for centuries. The china heads are
made of the same material employed
for a fine quality Of plates, and are
painted and glazed previous to baking.
The tiny china dolls are nodded. The
bodies Of the better class of dolls, Of
the -Four Hundred, If such an express
sion may be desecrated to such a use,
are made of cotton, linen, canvas, or
kid, and are stuffed with sawdust, cot
ton or some other suitable substance.
The eyes of dolls are made to close by
means Of globe, weighted on one side
and suspended on piyots. When the
doll is raised to standing or sitting
posture, the weight brings the iris and
pupil Of the eye to the front and thus
the eye appears to be open; when the
doll Is laid down on its back, the same
weight causes a partial revolution OF
the globe, and thus makes the eye
close. Crying dolls are musical from
the fact that there is placed withip-
their bodies q small reed like those
used in the accordion or the mouth or
gan; this is adjusted over an orifice,
leading from a wind chest in the dolls
body, which acts as a bellows; when
the dolls body is squeezed the air es-
capes through the orifice, thus vibrat-
ing the reed and causing the sound.
The speaking dolls, which utter sounds
much like papa" and mamma" are
made vocal by a similar device.

The plague now raging In some por-
tions of India is thought by many phys
icians to be Identical with the "black
death" which devastated Europe and
Asia in 1347, and at subsequent peri
DDS. Ancient writer's give graphic de-
scviptions Of the frightful virulence of
this strange malady, its course in Italy
being vividly described by Boccaccio
and Petrarch. In Venice more than
100000 people died of the disease. and
in Cyprus nearly the whole population
was destroyed. while In Genoa six-sey-
cnths Of the Inhabitants succumbed to
its fearful ravages. At Sienna the cree
ton of the cathedral was stopped by
the plague. and 1t has never since been
resumed. From Italy the scourge made
its way into France. England, Germany.
and Spain, and is said to have been
carried into Scandinavia by ship
which left London In the summer of
1349. The whole of the crew died of
the plague, and the vessel, after drift
ing about on the ocean for a long time.
was cast ashore with its grewsome bur-
den at Bergen, and the infection soon
spread all over Norway and Sweden.
In fact, scarcely portion Of the known
world escaped the disease, even entire
colonies up In Greenland being oblit-
Grated, and whole tribes Of E%quimaux
were destroyed.

Wasted.

The infallibility of juries Is well es-
tab1ished, but an anecdote o. cele-
brated case tried before the late Lord
Justice Bowen, of Liverpool, is told in
Leaders of the Bar" in the Strand
Magazine, which places an English
jury in an amusing light The Lord
Justice, it is said, had keen apprecia-
ton of the humorous-which the
twelve Liverpool men certainly had
not.
A man was captured very late one
night on the roof of a house that had
just been broken into. He was armed
with a burglars Jimmy, and over his
boots were drawn a pair Of thick rib
bed stockings. He was tried for bur-
glary; and If l remember rightly, plead
ed not guilty, putting forward as his
defence that lie had not any felonious
intent.
Lord Justice Bowen, in summing up,
told the jury that the facts were I'M
contested, and that If they believed the
prisoners story, and reasonably

ings over his boots, arm himself with
jimmy, break into house and climb
on to the roof, not for the purpose OF
committing felony, but merely In or
der to take the evening air, they would
acquit the prisoner.
The jury failed to see through the
delicate satire of the judges address,
and acquitted the prisoner!

the money that he received. Still, it
was reckless to attract his attention
again; especially so, after having left
the cab in that strange manner.
There was a way to the sidewalk
through the press of vehicles. Herrick
saw it from the corner of his eye, and
was about to take advantage of it. In
stead, to his surprise, he found himself
turned toward the cabman, and inn
mediately he heard his own voice say
ing:
Il have decided to get out here. How
much do owe your
The cabman named the price, and
Herrick paid him with the S. bill which
had been the sum of his wealth, and
the end of 1t so far as he could see, so
short a time before. He counted his
change carefully, remembering that he
would probably have to wait until the
next day before he could break one of
the thousands. Enough remained to
him from the bill for supper, a bed
and a breakfast.
When he had found a restaurant he
ordered a meal and ate it with relish.
1t was enchanted food. 1t was the fare
of an Atlantic liner, the delicacies of
European hotels, and the fruits of the
tropics.
He cared little for his bed. 1t would
be no more than place to lie and think
of the future. 1t was many a night
since he had really slept. Certainly,
with so much upon his mind, he would
not sleep this night, even If he should
tr.-. So when he had been shown to his
room in the hotel he piled his pillows
against the headboard of the bed and
recllned against them, fully dressed.
He was very happy. No question of
right or wrong in what he had done or
what he expected to do came to torment
him. For a long time he had borne his
life like a tremendous burden. This
had suddenly slipped from his shoul-
ders, leaving his natural powers be-
numbed.
In the midst of his first vision of
new life he was aroused by knocking
at the door He started up; his legs
would hardly support him; he had no
voice with which to ask who was there.
But one explanation was possible; he
must have been watched by the police.
He tottered to the door and gave ut
terance to a hoarse inarticulate sound.
Eight o'clock sir" cried voice
without. You asked to be called, sir"
He rushed to the window and flung
open the shutters. Day streamed in,
strong and beautiful The gas flame
paled. He knew that he had slept as he
had not slept before in years. In the
mysterious depths of his life he felt
new strength stirring, but it was only
naScent as yet.
a bath and a breakfast revived him
still more. He felt the exhilaration OF
Il busy day upon which he was enter
ing. He scanned the papers, but so
far as he could see they had no news
of the money that had been lost He
was not conscious of any excitement in
searching for that news. The fear of

Speaking to the Deaf.

Many people, and l am sorry to say
some teachers of the deaf, fail to real
ize, in practice at least, that speech is
not as clearly visible to the eye as it is
audible to the ear, and think that by
speaking, word by word, and opening
their mouth to the widest extent. they
will render the task of the speech-read-
er easier. AS a matter of fact they
render 1t all the more difficult. A child
in school may learn to understand a
teacher, who mouths his words in this
manner, but this ability is of no value
to him when he leaves school, Indeed,
perfectly natural, deliberate speech is
easier to understand than the eXagger-
ated form of articulation which people
are apt to use the moment they know
they are talking to totally deaf per-
son.
People who depend entirely upon
their speech-reading for understanding
others have requested me, when intro
ducing them to strangers. not to say
that they were deaf, because they find
it easier to read the lips when the per-
son speaking is not aware that he is
being understood in that way. l have

Among the old young men of this dec
ade Gen. Cassius NJ. Clay, of Kentucky,
is conspicuous. Though he passed his
eighty-sixth birthday last October, he
still has more vigor and go than many
men a quarter Of a century younger
than he. Gen. Clay has always been
fighter. He was an abolitiionlst in
Kentucky as far back a 1852, and no
one could intimidate or induce him to
stop his free and violent denunciatiOn
of an institution which he considered
totally wrong. He printed a paper the
presses of which had TO be guarded by
armed men against an offended and
angry mob. In 1861 he went as United
States Minister to Russia, and he has
been generally credited and quite right
ly, too, with having done great service
in influencing Russia TO stand between
the United States and the threatened
alliance of the European powers to rec
ognIze the Confederacy. Gen. Clay, so
as to show his contempt for the limita-
tions of age, took to himself, within

Herbert L. Graham, 40 Wall street"
The train was just stopping at Rec
tor street. That was the station near
est the steamship office. Thrusting the
brown paper back in his pocket, he left
the car and went with the throng down
to the street. He was thinking about
the accommodations he would choose
on the steamer. He continued to think
of that and kindred subjects, yet he
turned north on Broadway instead of
south. Presently he found himself ask
ing an elevator boy in big building
if he knew where Mr.. Graham's office

Mr.. Graham happened to be in his

The changes wrought In the United
States within the last century are
graphically described by John Bach
McMaster in the Atlantic Monthly for
January. He says that citizen who
wore a badge of mourning in memory
of Washington lived at time when
our country nowhere touched the Gulf
Of Mexico and nowhere crossed the
Mississippi River, and when there
were but fifteen States in the Union,
none Of them having a population of Il
million souls, or a city of $4,000 in
habitants. The watchman with his
rattle and lantern still went his rounds
at night. Every citizen was required
to serve on the watch and to keep in
his house near the front door a number
of leathern buckets, with which he
must hurry to any fire to which he
might be summoned by the sound of
the market or court house bell. Only
two cities in the country at that time
had waterworks. There were no Om-
nibusts or horse cars. There were only
seventeen daily newspapers. There
were no typewriters, no envelopes, no
postage stamps, no letter boxes, no tel
ephones. no electric lights, no blotting
paper in those days, and 1t cost quar-
ter to send a letter from Boston to
Washington.
