know Miss Alice French by any other
name. Few know, too, that, though in
her work she reveals an insight into
western life that cOn;I be possessed
only by one bred to it, she is of New
England stock. . Born in Davenport,
Iowa, she has travelled extensively III
the southwest and in the south, where
she is as much at home as among the
people of Iowa, Kansas and Nebraska,
from whom she has drawn some of her
strongest characters. In the Mission
airy Sheriff, her latest volume, recent
ly published by the Harpers, Miss
French has done some of her finest
work, the chief figure in each of the
stories, Amos Wickliff, being an abso-
lutely distinct American type, and one
of the strongest and most lovable
characters in recent fiction.

A PHENOMENAL MEMORY.

Shoemaker Shaw, of Dixon, is pos
sessed of a phenomenal memory. It is
at once phenomenally good and phen-
omenally bad. In the first place when
he measures a customers foot for
pair Of shoes he never puts down a
figure of all the numerous measure
ments, but has them for all time It
is never necessary for him to measure
hat foot again. Years afterward he
will recall them on an order and will
make perfect fit.
That is the only thing Mr.. Shaw
can remember. A short time ago he
was standing at the depot in Dixon
talking to a friend The passenger
train pulled out for San Francisco and
still he talked away Suddenly he ex-
claimed:
BY George! I'm going somewhere
On that train. Where the dickens was
going?"
He felt in his pockets and found a
ticket to Suisun.
Nov, what was I going to Suisun
for?"
Again Mr.. Shaw searched his pockets
and read all the letters he found, final
ly he came to a subpoena.
That's it. l was subpoenaed as a
witness -
He had to hire a team to get to

to Escape.

Crystal Falls, Wis, Aug. 17.-Peter
Bons, the murderer of Pearl Morrison,
came near escaping the necessity of a
trial for his terrible crime, in an at
tempt to escape from the jail. He
had planned to set the building on fire
il the hope that during the excitement
he would escape, but in this he was baf-
fed and came near being a victim Of
the flames. He had been allowed the
use Of tobacco and a pipe and during
the morning he made threats of setting
the jail on fire. He is confined in a
steel cell and little attention was paid
to him. Later in the day, however,
smoke was seen issuing from the cell

some time before the firemen could get

HERR WANTS INDEMNITY.

Washington, Aug. 13.-Dr. Cornelius
Herr, Of Panama canal fame, has filed
a claim with the state state depart
ment for damages against the govern
ment of France for Illegal arrest and
detention in England. Herr, it was
alleged, fed to England to escape ar
rest and prosecution by the French
government as one of the leaders in
the Panama affair. The British au-
thorities declined to grant the extra
dition of Herr. He now brings a
claim against France, without stating
the amount of indemnity. After q

the case the state department has de-
cided that it is obliged to decline TO
undertake to prosecute the claim.

British Association for the Advance
ment of Science in 1871 and of the
Royal society of London in 1891. 1t
was in great part due to his skill in
solving many intricate problems in
volved in marine telegraphy that
transcceanic signaling became a Sue
cess. He was knighted in 1866. The
best known of his many inventions are
his quadrant and portable cleo
trometers, compensated compasses for
iron ships and various types Of mirror
ealvanometer, the siphOn recorder,
machine for the analysis of tidal
curves, and many commercial instru-

in the early years of the movement.
The success of the movement in
Germany in establishing workmen's
baths of the shower-bath type, is
cited as evidence that the simpler and
less expensive forms can be most
profitable introduced by American
cities in their first attempts to provide
the working classes with adequate
baths for cleansing and refreshment.
The adoption of school shower baths
has been general in towns and cities
