A JAIL ON

Mr.. F. D. Gildersleeve, ticket agent Of
the Baltimore and Ohio Southwestern
railway in st. Louis, has recently in
vented a car designed for the protection
OF express agents and the contents of
the car, and also for the capture Of the
would-be robbers. The device consists
Of an entire lining to the inside Of the
Car-(or half of it, il preferred-sides,
roof and floor) with fiat steel bars OF
suitable size. making the car in reality
a Jail on wheels. The doors consist Of
several sections, which slide past each
other to the top Of the car, and are al
ways open except when wanted in case
of attempted robbery Of the car, when
they are simultaneously released and
fall Of their own weight, locking as they
fall by a system OF ratchets on the side.
The same movement also releases a SINH
lar door in front Of the safe, which is
inclosed in a separate steel cage, and
that is securely locked in. When a de-
mand by the robbers Is made upon the
messenger to open the car door, that
official retires through an exit provided
for his use to a place where he is hidden
from view and safe from attack, and by
a simple arrangement slides open the
regular wooden door Of the car, enabling
the robber, or robbers. to enter, which
they are supposed to do with elacrity.
As soon as one or more Of them are in
side, the messenger pulls a lever, releas-
es the steel doors, as above explained.
and locks them securely inside. Once
locked the doors cannot be opened ex-
cept by the proper official. who holds the
cobination. The apparatus lie said to
take up no space in the car which would
cause interference with the duties Of the
messenger.

asked. Are there enough white men
present to hang the negro" There was
n chorus Of Yes" and the crowd closed
in on the prisoner. The sheriff and his
deputies drew their revolvers and held
the crowd at bay while Johnson was at
once hurried back TO jail A big mob
gathered in front Of the building. and
one of the negroes cried out TO lynch
Pendleton, and a rush was made for
him. Through the efforts Of himself
and his friends Pendleton made his
escape in a carriage.
The negro mob then gathered again
about the jail building to prevent the
lynching of Johnson. and open threats
were made by them to kill any white
man that might come to the jail. About
IL o'clock at night William Gardner. a
white man, was sitting In front OF the
courthouse, when several of the negro
mob approached him and ordered him
to move on. He arose 10 obey. and as

HOW TO YAWN.

A Dog Performs the Duty Success
fully and Conscientiously.
Did you ever watch a dog gap? For
thoroughness and entire absence of af-
fectation and mock shamefacedness
there is nothing like it, says Parsons
Weekly. When dog gapes he doesn't
screw his face into all sorts of unnatural
shapes in an endeavor to keep his mouth
shut with his jaws wide open.
Neither does he put his paw up to his
face in an apologetic way, while gaping
in ambush, as it WERE No; when he
gapes he is perfectly willing that the
whole world shall come to the show. He
braces himself firmly on his fore feet,
stretches out his neck, depresses his
head ard his jaws open with graceful
moderation.
At first it is but an exaggerated grin,
but when the cape is apparently ac-
complished the dog turns out his ell
bows, opens his jaws another As degrees,
swallows an imaginary bone by sud-
den and conclusive movement, curls up
his tongue like the petal of a tiger lily
and shuts his jaws together with snap.
Then he assumes grave and con-
tented visage, as is eminently becoming
to one who has performed a duty sue
cessfully and conscientiously.

POOR BARONETS.
Some of Them Are Always Coming
...... to Grief,

Some of Them Are Always Coming
to Grief.
Mr.. Labouchere's sarcastic reference
to this lowest rank of the English hered-
itary titled order, "baronets and the
criminal classes" seems so very, very
apt, says a recent London letter IN an
exchange. Baronets insist upon going
wrong all the time. There are at least
q half-dozen absolutely disreputable
baronets prowling about the Strand at
this moment, cadging for shillings, free
meals and free drinks. If they can
manage to preserve decent outward
appearance existence is not so difficult.
Their titles appeal to the man who
has never been on familiar terms with
anything in the shape of a title before.
But the delight of knowing "a noble
man" soon passes when the succession
of small loans and general sponging is
realized. One of the worst of the dis
reputable baronet species now in evil
dence in London, and more or less in
the gutter, is the same man who few
years ago was in the United States act
ing as advance agent or something sim
liar for q theatrical company. Chicago,
Philadelphia and other cities remem-

dies are as remarkable as they are in

A London paper tells of a school of

lin. 1t is comparatively new venture.
having been founded two years ago by
a private lady. At present it seems to
be succeeding. The pupils-15 in num-
ber-do the work entirely without ex-
traneous aid, growing all sorts of vege-
tables, as well as apples, melons, grapes,
pears and cucumbers, for which a ready
sale is found. They wear a dark gray
uniform, consisting of Bodice and a
skirt of reasonable length, which, by
an ingenious arrangement, can be
made quite short for working in and let
down at will. The girls beat all the
men at a recent board of agriculture ex-
animation, and one of them has just
obtained post as gardener 10 gen.
tleman at salary of $12O year, with
board and lodging. They are all fine
specimens of healthy, vigorous young
womanhood. Commenting on this, the
lady says: Perhaps we see me thin
edge of the wedge! In the near future
women may be eligible foI head gar
