LrXURY JAIL.
How Chapman, the Sugar Broker,
Fares in His Cell

Washington, May 19.-The cell of E
r. Chapman, the New York broker, 8
by ten feet in size. contained a q inch
iron cot. This bed was too hard for the
broker, and he had it removed and put
in its place a three-quarter brass bed
stead with a hair mattress, feather pill
lows. clean sheets and wooden blankets.
He carpeted his cell with a large Per-
sian rug and furnished it with a chif-
fonier, a mirror, a washstand and an
easy chair.
The prisoner protested to the warden
that his business correspondence was
very heavy and that his cell would not
be large enough for an office. The war
den accordingly gave him the use of
the adjoining cell, and this was also
carpeted and furnished with a writing
desk, two Office chairs and an easy
chair, reading lamp, a nursery refrig-
orator and a clothes tree
Mr.. Chapman declined to have hang
ings on the cell walls or curtains over
the door because ne did not wish to
disguise the character of his apartment
any more than his absolute necessities
required He will probably not put in
telephone and messenger call for he
Will only occupy these apartments so
days. and it would hardly be worth the
trouble
Mr. Chapman had the manager of the
Arlington hotel inspect the Jail kitchen
10 see if it was clean enough for the
FOOD OF a sugar broker, and 1T was de-
cided that it was. His solid foods will
accordingly be cooked there but the
soups and pastries will be sent each
day from the hotel The prisoner has
engaged a waiter from the hotel to
bring clean linen and towels daily and
TO serve his food. The crockery and
siIverware win also come from the no
tel.
Mr. Chapman exposed but one
anxiety over his confinement and that
was that it might affect his health. He
is a man of athletic and robust consti-
tuition, and a great walker. and the loss
of this exercise he fears may affect him
The jail physician suggested that he
take quinine night and mlrning This
is the way the rich sugar broker will
take his punishment

HE KEPT HIS WORD.
But Rifle Was Waiting For the Rail
road Promoter.


road Promoter.
A B. Smith of the Burlington was talk
ing bout railroads and railroad building,
and he told of the most malignant bit OF
false pretense which any railroad advance
agent ever was guilty of. 1t was some
where in West Virginia, and the man
whose business it was to go scross the
country and win the favor of the residents,
so that they would vote bonds. struck an
intermountain region and found that that
particular county was practically don1i-
mated by an old farmer away up the ridge
The road wanted something like 500, 900
from the county, and the skirmishing
party appeared unto the man of the ridge
with a request for his assistance. The old
fellow, whose name was Se9rles, was will
ing, on one condition, to help out. He
wanted the road to come near his own
place. Cushman, the agent, looked over
the situation and after a time promised
1.-The line" he said, will run within
100 yards of your front gate. Is that near
enough"
Searles said it was and an agreement
was signed. Then Searles began an advo-
cacy of the bond proposition, and the con-
cession was voted with hardly word of
opposition, but with the front gate IN
Outstanding.
Two years later Mr. Smith happened to
be hunting in that county and he stopped
at Searles' house Their conversation turn
ed upon railroads, and the old man, point
ing to q long rife over the mantel, said:
THE next railroad man that comes into
these hills I'm going to shoot with that. ;"
Mr.. Smith, who had not yet disclosed
his identity or occupation, asked for the
reason. The mountaineer told of the
bonds.
But" said Mr. Smith, "if there was
an agreement, the bonds are invalid -
mo, they amt" the other responded
sadly HE done it. He run it within the
prescribed distance. She's within them 100
yards
But I don see any railroad near here. .
Nope. Ye can't. But she's here. She
runs through this hill by a tunnel, which
starts mile away. She's inside the named
distance, but being as I ain t ground hog
or rabbit I can It git direct access to her. .
