The sparrOws are very much at home
around the prison and they are not a.
fraid to enter the dollhouse through the
open windows and forage for the bread
crumbs which are swept out on the gal
leries every morning. l own it was
some small comfort to me on my first
arrival to have one of the feathered in
mates come in through the window and
look inquiringly around. The other
day one of them went into the Irvine
shop B and got into one of the mach
ines which pulls the fibre, and was CON-
pletely demolished. This was consid-
cred bad luck by the men in charge.

TACOMA WOODEN MILL FIRE.
Plant Valued at One Hundred Thou
sand Dollars Is a Total LOSS.

Tacoma, Oct. 3.-The Tacoma Wooden
Mill Company's plant burned yesterday
morning and is almost total loss. The
value of the plant and the stock is placed
at $4,000 and is covered by $4,000 in
surance. The plant will probably be re-
built. The fire originated in the picking
room and is attributed to overheating of
machine or a spark from nail in the
wool, The mill had received large sup
ply of wool the day before and this was
destroyed, with a clothing shipment OF
200 bolts to New York which was being
packed. The mill was one of the largest
on the coast and was being transformed
from blanket mill for the manufacture
of cheviots and had established a large
eastern trade. The property had passed
out of the hands of the original company
and is held by a number of its bond
holders.

London, Oct. 3.AAThe extraordinary lax
treatment of the anarchist assassin Of the
Empress of Austria, the Italian, Lucheni,
in the prison OF st. Antoine, Geneva, is
causing much remark. Today ne is al
lowed Wine, cigars, letters and newspapers,
spends money and gives newspaper inter-
views. In fact he is. treated like. the lion
OF the prison. When examined before
the magistrate he made parade Of jests
and frivolous answers. ''-'
The trial has been fixed for the first
week in November. He will be con.
demned to solitary confinement for life.
Only one man has hitherto undergone the
punishment which has more terrors than
capital punishment. The prisoner is con-
fined in an underground cell into which
no sunshine ever penetrates. He is not
allowed bed but sleeps on the ground
and is only permitted to take exercise once
a week in the, prison yard.

Willis has received letter from General
Shafter dated Camp Wikoff, September
26, in which he says of newspaper attacks
upon him:
1.-The attacks of the yellow press upon
me and Others of the army administration
are simply outrageous. The articles are
filled with untruths, beginning with the
one that | was responsible for the equip
ment of the army with Springfield rifles,
which YOU and every other sensible man
knows is lie. The behavior of some of
the yellow journalists was so outrageous
before we even got into Cuba that | had
TO put my hand on them and after we
GOT into Cuba it was still worse. Their
letters are the result OF personal spite.

there might have been some excuse for
their talk but having landed one OF the
most successful campaigns of modern mil
itary history, IT is simply an outrage.

their cattle into nnburnt districts as rap

Milwaukee, Oct. 3.---The pecuniary

estimated at present. 1t may amount TO
anywhere between one and five million
dollars. Many days will elapse before the
