4 ROPE
HANGING TO THE OUTER
COURT WALL

OF the County jail Evideaoe - IN
Attempt 10 lend Aid 10 sAe Prisoners
Mystery About t-Ne Psle0aess
Missing This h1ornlan.
This morning whom Sheriff Larsh
made his daily inspection Of the prem
ises about the jail he found kn0tted
rope hanging by an IMPROVED hook
from the top of the picket iron fence
that surriounts the top OF the court
wall at the south side of the Jail. The
rope was about ten or eleven feet IN
length. and about three-quarers Of an
inch in diameter. It Was just the
kind of rore used by the Light. Heat
and Power company in raising and low
ering their lamps. The rope had prob
ably been aSen from . pile of dis
carded onts laying near the comrany's
power house down in the river valley.
One end of the rore was freshly cut.
and the other was bound with copper
wire. There were nine knots in the
rope, SO that it would have been easy
to make hand over hand decent or
ascent by its aid.
Had the person placing it IN that
position for scaling the wall succeeded
his attempt, he would hav, had
more hard work to- get into the jail or
to get anythinr to the inmates thereof.
as was his apparent intention The
court wall is several feet from the il .
ner wall of the rail. and it would have
been necessary to have thrown the
hook on the rope to the window Of the
jail proper inside the court before any
thing could have been transmitted to q
prisoner. Evidently whoever had beer
making the attempt had besn flight
ened away by some means, or there
might have been . different ste ~ to
tell this morning. All the pri oners
were in their proper places this morn
ing, and all were apparently innocent
of any attempt to aid the outside par
ties. At least they played it well.
/ There are no desperate characters in
the jail at present, but there are quite
a number there who would willingly
get out if any sort of opportunity were
afforded The sheriff considers that 1
is lucky thing that no one succeeded
| in getting away or at least in having
handed IN to them some means OF
making a Wholesale Jail delivery. The
fact that the rope was still hanging by
the hook from the outside would indi.
cate that the person making the at.
tempt had failed.

these will be. To enlarge the sphere OF
the ships usefulness he contemplates
the installment of courses in astronomy,

appeal and be of service to the class of

Ella Wheeler Wilcox has very sugges-
tive poem entitled you never can tell"
"You never can tell, when you do an act,
Just what the result will be,
But with every deed you are sowing seed,
Though its harvest you may not see.
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In Gods productive soil.
Though you may not know, yet the tree shall
grow,
And shelter the brows that toll.
You never can tell what your thoughts will
do,
In bringing you hate or love.
For thoughts are things, and heir airy wings
Are switter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe,
Each thing must create its kind.
And they speed DER the track, to bring you
back,
| Whatever went out OF your mind"

Tho fork said the oorkscrew was crooked;
Tho remark made the flatlrOn sad;
The sLeel knife at once lost It's temper,
And called the tea holder a cad.
The tablespoon stood on its mettlei
The kettle exhibited bile;
The stove grew hot at the discussion,
But the ice remained cool all the while.
Tho way that the cabbage and lettuce
Kept their heads was something sublime;
The green's dared the soup to NIX with them
And the latter, whilo it hadn't much thyme,
Got 30 mad 1t boiled over-tho Are
FELT put out and started to cry;
Tho oven then roasted the turkey,
And the cook gave the grease spot the lye.
The plate said the clock in the corner
Transacted its business on tick,
And the plate. which for years had been bat
tered,
The clock said was full OF old nick.
The salt said the cream should be whipped,
The cinnamon laughed-in rage,
The cream said the salt was too fresh,
And It's friend wasn't thought to be sage.
Next the pepper, whose humor 10 spicy,

''To caster rejection upon mel"
The mirror took up the def.
Then the axe, with wit sharp and cutting,
Declared that the rug had the floor;
While the key said the knob should be wor
shipped
Cause it was the right thing TO adore.
The bell, ringing in, said the cook book
Must be bashtul, else wherefore so read?
The stove brush, thing OF some polish,
Looked down on the saucer and said
1t thought that the same was too shallow,
But admitted the cup was quite deep;
The coffee tried to climb on the tea leaves,
But discovered the same were too steep.
You'd not think g thing that's SO holey
AS the sieve would have mixed in the fuss,
But 1t did, for ii said that the butter
Was a slippery sort OF cuss.
No one knows how the row would have ended
Had not the cook, Maggie O'Dowd,
(Her work being done) closed the kitchen,
And thusly shut up the whole crowd.

us, who are not to blame for the evils of
their government, or their generals, |
whose greatest crime is that they were !
unfortunate enough to be born in Spain, |
and were obliged to receive the heritage |
of ignorance. Yet they love and are |
must
LEAVE THEIR MOTHERS AND SISTERS, |
THEIR sWEETHEARTs
and friends, and 60 to Cuba-the bottom
less pit-where they will die of yellow
fever and starvation, and Spain loses
what little energy she has left in vain
and useless war. And every ship that
returns to the old country brings sad
news to another poor mothers heart,
who had little enough to live for at the
best, before the war carried away the be-
loved son. These are the boys that we
must kill, but let us not do it in malice
or the spirit Of revenge, but in the hope
Of bringing good to the world. The
newspapers which have printed their
headlines in the largest type will lose
nothing by the war, the men who have
made the IOudest noise will not fight, the
enrolment of soldiers goes out into the
country and onto the farms, and into the
shops and takes the men of quiet
courage-often the best citizens-who do
not talk but can act, and glorious is the
battle field to one who can die for the
| love of humanity.
| In the civil war we fought-not sell
fshly-and as result the slaves were
free, as we are free. And now we are
called again to fight for the freedom of
Cuba. 1t is said that we have troubles
enough of our own without borrowing
from other nations, but is that Christian :?
Christ tells us parable OF a man who
fell among thieves, they stripped him
Of his garments and left him bruised and
bleeding and half naked, a priest and
LeVite came that way, they saw him and
passed by on the other side-they had
troubles enough Of their own, why
should they put themselves to any III
convenience for stranger, but a poor
Samaritan come by soon, who probably
had much more trouble of his own than
either of the others, but he
RAN TO THE HELP OF TIE FALLEN ONE,
and gave US one of the best examples
of Christian love that we have any,
where in history, and If he had come in
time to help fight off the robbers that
would certainly have been his Christian
duty. We have heretofore been called
upon to prove. ourselves the good
Samaritan and let US thank God for it.
Famine stricken India called to Us and
we sent provisions, the suffering Armen-
ians appealed to US and we gen.
erously replied with money,
and now Cuba has raised her voice for
sympathy and shall we not answer even
with our own life blood 100000 poor
starved women and children, though
dead yet speak to us, and we are not
deaf to their cry that we stop the muir
der of the innocent ones. And so as
this righteous war has come let us not en-
ter into it in the spirit of revenge and ha-
tired, but with the courageous spirit of
love for humanity land let usspray that it
shall be the means Of opening the door
of Spain to broader civilization and a
truer Christianity that the lives which
are given up may not be wasted but in
providence Of God may serve to increase
his kingdom and spread the love of
Christ to those who know it not.

REDDING.
THE LATE ISAAC PLATT.


Isaac Platt, life long resident of Red
ding, died on Friday morning, May ID,
at o'clock, at the home of his daughter,
Mrs A. Homer Fellow, Sc Deer Hill ave-
nue., Danbury, after an illness of more
than year. He was 50 years old and few
men of his native town we're better
known or more highly esteemed. In
February '97, he met with an injury,
which, with his advanced age, probably
fastened his death. Mr. Platt has been
totally blind for 80 years, but this did not
interfere with his business. He was
able to GO about town, attending to diff
ferent kinds of work, as we'll as if he
could see. He was of very cheerful
disposition and for many years member
of the Redding Methodist church. He is
survived by his wife, who is Sc years
old, and by his daughter. The funeral
services were held at the house of his
daughter, Monday afternoon at O'Clock,
Rev W. W. Bowdish officiating. The in
terment was in Wooster cemetery.
Jesse L. Sanford has been appointed
executor Of the will of the late Bridget
Collins, Stephen Sanford and W. G. San

Much to the relief of the neighbors the
denizers of the Bradley house have clear

ali out OF Inc Temple
1t hardly seems suitable or reverent
for the pulpit to discuss every question
that Ia filling the columns of the news
papers-whether the question Is social,
political, or semi.ethical. The pulpit is
something more than the echo of news
paper gossip, or the place for a man to
promulgate his own private opinions on
common questions that admit of many
interpretations rather the pulpit exists
for the purpose of disseminating moral
good, spiritual comfort, and hope. 1t is
on the Sabbath that we seek rest from
the distractions of the week, and desire
to hear the message of God. But when
a great ethical question arises-as this
present problem involving war with
Spain-whieh stirs the country from its
foundation, and which includes very pos
tive questions Of right and wrong, and
deals with the moral life Of the nation,
then 1t 10 fitting for the pulpit to speak
In more concrete way, and try to help
conform public opinion into the Eprinci-
pies Of justice, love, mercy and truth.
However, it is not my purpose to-day to
discuss In detail the arguments for and
against war which have become SO famil-
lar to us recently through the newspa.
pers. But 1t may not be amiss for us to
consider for few moments the
QUESTION OF THE RIGHT AND WRONG OF
WAR,
as we are at this moment involved In
such crisis. There IL certain not in
considerable denomination in this coun-
try who make 1t principle Of their be-
