JOLLY ISAM Is GONE.
He Liked to Stay in Jail but the
Hutchinson Reformatory
Wanted Him

Isam Green is pretty slick, but he
made bad move when he came to
Topeka In 1895 Isam, who is a short
chubby colored man with a continual
grin on his face, stole some things.
He was arrested, tried and convicted.
His sentence was that he should serve
term at the Hutchinson refOrmatory.
He was taken there and after being
there a few months he escaped. Find
ing an opening up through the ceiling
he crawled through it and was gone.
Philadelphia.
But the Pennsylvania weather was
too severe for him and he returned to
Kansas. Last week he came to To-
peka, and it being cold and having no
place to go, he slept in the tramp
room at the city Jail. When he came
up stairs in the morning Jailer Hopkins
told him that if he came back again
he would put him on the stone pile.
But as there was no one in the jail and
the jailer needed a trusty to attend to
lowed to stay. AS a mere matter of
form he was taken before Judge Ferry
and fined so.
He was mad because the judge did
not give him 80 days, for he didn't want
to get out in the cold when he had no
place to go.
But yesterday an officer of the Hutch
1nSon reformatOry came to the city and
he heard of Isam. He Immediately
laid claim to him and now the happy
chunky cOlOred man will have to serve
out his sentence at Hutchinson He is
one of the jOlliest prisoners which Jail
er Hopkins has had to deal with, and
he says he will hate to part with him.
ISam is gone.

ICE PALACE AT MOSCOW.
A Fantastic Structure to be Put To-
gether This Winter

This city, says the Moscow Novoe
Vremya, is now considering plans for
an ice palace to be built this winter in
imitation of the one which adorned the
Empress Anne's reign. That was con-
structed in 1910, between the Admiralty
and the winter palace at st. Peters
burg, and was formed throughout, walls
roof, windows, columns and decora-
tions, in fact everything from the fOun-
datiOn up, entirely of ice, the evenness
of the winter weather there assuring
for a term the durability of the ma
sorry.
At the entrance of the structure was
a large gallery filled with ice statues,
and on pedestals of ice stood vases
filled with flowers, with lowering birds
above them. all of the same material.
as were the clock cases, chairs, tables.
wardrobes. utensils, candelabra, beds
and all the other furnishings. 1t is
not yet known whether the architects
of the present structure will try to rival
the proportions and projections of the
old one, but if they do it will exceed in
attra ctivenesS any of the existing edi-
fees of the Russian capital.

New York, Jan S.-The unusual specta-

street car and firemen on the scene was
witnessed last night at the corner of
One Hundred and TwentySixth street
and Lenox avenue.
Car No. 527 of the Lenox avenue line
was on fire. The dozen Mortified passen-
gers fed in terror.
At One Hundred and Twenty Sixth
street a woman sprang from her seat
and shrieked that she was on fire. ST.
simultaneously the car came to a sudden
stop, throwing the passengers forward.
some of them to the floor. The woman
tore her hat from her head, and then it
was seen that the feathers We're burned
and the flames were also curling along
the side where the woman sat. The
passengers fed and the motorman and
conductor rushed into the car.
The former threw his coat to smoth-
er the flames, but the coat was con-
sumed before the surprised motorman
was aware of his loss. Some one turn
ed in a fire alarm.
The firemen fought the flames with
steam extinguishers, and soon the
blaze was out.

REBELS ARE ELATED.
Cubans are Encouraged by Weyler's
Withdrawal From Pinar del Rio.

Cincinnati. Jan. S.-A special to the
Commercial Tribune from Key West
says: Reports from Pinar del Rio are
that Weyler-s withdrawal has encour-
aged the insurgents. An attack was
made on the trocha Monday near the
southern end and four of the forts de-
stroyed, the garrisons deserving upon
the approach of the inSurgent force AT
one attack. the big dynamite gun was
used and its first shot threw the garri-
son into such terror that they fed leav-
ing many of their guns and lots of am
munition.
Two conveys of supplies to Spanish
camps along the tributary road have
been captured by the Cubans. Havana
advices state that Quintin Bandera, the
guerilla insurgent leader, is bush
whacking near the city, and that he
defeated a column commanded by Gen
Luque yesterday, inflicting severe pun
ishment upon the Spaniards. He also
captured a large convoy of arms and
ammunition of various kinds
Senator Money made an effort to get
at some of the facts in this section
while in Havana, but the Spanish Off
Gals were too cunning for him and baf-
fed all his efforts to get any infarma-
ton in this line from Guanbacoa-

MANIA FOR STEALING.
Strange Result of an Attack of Brain
Fever Upon a Boy.

Atlanta Ca, Jan. S.-One of the most
peculiar prisoners in the Georgia penal
camps is Gyp South, a IL year old white
boy, the son of respectable parents who
has been sentenced to five years for
horse stealing.
He was for IS months connected with
a gang of little thieves of his own age
before the facts were brought home to
him and he got his present sentence.
The Christian people of that city have
become interested in his case and have
employed counsel to secure his freedom
on the ground that he is mentally ire
sponsibIe. 1T is shown that up to 10
years of age he was an exemplary boy
At that period he had an attack of
brain fever, which is the cause of all
his misdeeds since.
After this attack he seemed to have
a mania for horses, and his father then
bought him nice horse and buggy.
Within two or three days Gyp hitched
his horse to the buggy and drove down
to a wagon yard and gave the rig away
to a countryman.
The next day he went down to the
coal yard, stole a mule and wagon and
drove off to Buckhead. where he left
them and returned to the city. The last
horses which he stole have never been
claimed, and they were sold to pay for
their feed at a livery stable. Strange
to say he is normal for three weeks,
and in the fourth he is uncomfortable.
In the penal camp he carries this pecu-
liarity, and each fourth week goes
about stealing the prison horses just as
if he were free.

AMERICAN ARRESTED.
DR.. Betancourt is Charged With Con-

Havana, Jan. S.-Dr. Casper Betan-
court a naturalized American citizen
and a well known dentist, who was ar
rested here on December as a. politi-
cal suspect, is said to have been one
of the leaders of the insurgents during
the ten years war. 1t now appears
that he is charged with conspiring
against the government in handling
mail matter intended for the insur-
gents in connection with Gustavo Mar
tinez, the collector of the revolutionary
junta, the agent of Aguirre, the insur-
gent leader, and Jose Maria Diaz, the
agent of Castillo, also a leader of the
insurgents.
The kings attorney last night sent
the first documents in the proceedings
against DR.. BetancOurt to the district
court, where he will be tried before
an ordinary tribunal
Diaz and Martinez have already been

DISEASE MAKES HIM FAT.
Portland Boy Gaining at the Rate of
10 Pounds Monthly.

Portland, Ore, Jan. S.-The attention
of the medical world will probably soon
be directed toward Portland, attracted
by the case of Henry Whitley, a 12 year
old boy, who is suffering from a pecu-
liar malady-
His aff1iction is a predisposition on
the part of his head, trunk and limbs
to grow, and so rapidly that within a
few months he has developed into a be-
ing of gigantic proportions.
His is one of the strangest cases on
record The Whitley family came from
Ogden about two months ago. They had
consulted the best physicians in Chica-
go, but without avail Harry's feet
which are always clad in wooden socks
are too large for any shoe that is made.
His hands, too, would do credit to a
brawny listed giant. His head and chest
are wonderfully developed, and he must
weigh at least $50 pounds. Mr.. and Mrs
Whitley have other children but they
are not similarly afflicted.
This disease which has seized young
Whitley is pronounced by medical men
to be acromega1y. The physician who
is attending Harry says that it is
nervous disease and in some way con-
nected with a lack of oxygen in the sys-
tenn.
For the past six months the lad has
been gaining flesh at the rate of ten
pounds a month. The physician in at
tendance says that the increase in
avoirdupois will be much greater until
some successful method of checking the
maladV is devised
