FANATICS ATTACK JEWS.


LONDON, June a9.-The Daily Chron-
icle publishes, under reserve, n letter
from Teheran, the capital of Persia,
describing terrible persecution Of
the Jews. According to the corre-
spondent, mob of fanatical Moslems
has savagely attacked the Jewish quar-
tiers of the city and is threatening to
exterminate the Jews unless they en-
brace Mohammedanism. The govern
ment, although 1t has dispatched
troops to quell the disorders, appears
to be almost powerless to stem the tide
Of fanaticism.

The Ladies Must Paw.

The generosity, as entertainers, with
which Americans treat women is in
strong contrast with the custom of
Germans. In their own country they
have no hesitation in intimating to
their female companions that they are
expected to pay their share. In Ger
many, if a mans feminine partner at
a public ball desires a portion Of ice
cream he will bring it, but with the de-
mand of Forty pfennings, if you
please" An instance is found in the
experience of some English women at
a Prussian military ball given by the
officers of a certain garrison. The price
Of the supper was printed upon the in

that the officers who accompanied them
would pay for the refreshments. They

the debt.

WILD TIME IN PRISON.

Revolver and Escapes.
A sensational escape and Il quick cap-
ture caused much excitement at the Ohio
penitentiary Thursday night. Just be-
fore the hour when the prisoners wash for
supper and the guards are shifted for the
night turn, William Clark, Il Cuyahoga
County murderer doing Il life sentence
and employed in the broomshop, called
Guard Duncan of Mount Gilead, Ostensi-
bly, to show him Il hole in the floor. Dun
can leaned over and was struck a vicious
blow in the back of the neck with a piece
of gas pipe. Bert Spriggs, Il Delaware
County convict, started to assist the
guard, when Clark, advancing with Dun
cans revolver, which had fallen from his
pocket, threatened to shoot.
Clark ran to the guardroom at the front
gates and I'VE the guards signal with the
iron handle. Capt. SaXbe, as usual, open
ed the gate. AS soon as Clark passed the
gate he opened fire on the crowd of guards
and spectators. His aim was wild. In
the gIardroom he pulled the trigger again
and shot Benjamin f. James, a Della
ware County colored safeguard, in the
chin.
Clark was closely followed in his at
tempt to escape by William Dempsey,
jointly convicted with him of murder.
Clark ran through the guardroom, fred
at the guard in the reception room, and
escaped into the street.
A federal prisoner named Starter, en-
ployed as a "trusty" in the prison yard,
seized a rife which a guard had dropped
in the excitement and ran past the guard
house close on the heels of Clark. When
the fugitive reached the bank of the Scio-
to River he paused a minute. Starter
quickly leveled the rifle and commanded
Clark to surrender on pain of death. The
convict obeyed, his revolver being empty,
and was r%ecaptured by the guards, who
had recovered their presence of mind by
that time.

Tricks by Which tho Fox Catches HIS
Prev and Escapes His Enemies.

No other still hunter can travel SO
quietly as a fox, and mighty few men
are as crafty as the four-legged hunter
when it comes to matter OF getting
meat. Foxes have been seen in Eng
land, slipping from bush to bnsh' crawl
ing and creeping after feeding hare'
for all the world like a man stalking
n deer. The fox cannot catch rappH
in n fair chase, but its food is mostly
rabbits, in spite of their tleetness: bnt
AZ no time does it display its skill SO
well rs when running for me- WIN
nack of hounds on its trail.
Lord Willoughby De Broke writes 10
the Radminton Magazine to tell how
tired fox made straight for flock o
sheep in q pen, ran through them' ans
in the end escaped. CLAUS Magnus
archbishop of Upsala, wrote book
called "Historia de Gentibus serten-
trionalibus," of which an English
translation exists. This book tells OF
fox that leaped from back to back OF q
herd of goats. AS the dogs could moi
follow, the fox escaped.
4 curious trick of English foxes is to
leap as high as possible, graspihg
tree branch with their teeth, hold on
till the hounds have gone on, ana then
dropping to the ground, escape. Inns
