Tudor jerks contributes 10 the May
St. Nicholas an article entitled Three
Boys In Armor," concerning three no
ted portraits by Velasquez and Van
Dyck. Mr.. jerks says: Until two
years after Queen Victoria wa crown
ed there never had been a photograph
OF the human face. In 1889 the first
such photograph was taken by Prof.
John w. Draper of New York city.
Before that date and until after 1850,
those who wished portraits must pay
an artist for a printing or drawing. ana
only a few could afford such a luxury.
About 1859 ~silhouettes were in fashion
these black profles were named after
a French minister Of finance. Be
cause he was said to be stingy, II was
considered a good Joke to speak of
cheap things as being a la Silhouette;
and these black paper portraits being
cheap, they received the minister's
name. Since great artists charged
very high prices, only the great and
rich could be painted by the masters:
and as their pictures were carefully
preserved, the fine portraits of other
days usually represent only the mobiles
and the wealthy, such as kings, queens,
princes, generals, and great statesR en-.
1t is natural, then, that the children
whose faces have been made known
to us by the distinguished painters
should be little folks of high degIee-
or the som and daughters OF the ar
lists, whose pictures we're painted for
nothing, These old time boys and
girls are dressed in garments like
those their parents wore, for special
fashions for Children's wear came at
a later time.

committed. The victim was a well-to-

that place. The murder was commit
ted in cold blood. Immediately after
the discovery OF the blood stained
corpse Of the old farmer search was
instituted for the murderer. He was
traced with bloodhounds out Of How

SUGAR BEET INDUSTRY.
Experiments in New York State Have
 Been Successful.

ALBANY, N. r., Dec. 10.-At the close of the sugar-beet season, the second year of experiments in New York State, the Country Gentleman, an agricultural jour nal, has completed gathering some sta tistics. It says:
 Official reports from the experimental plants of the New York Department of Agriculture show the season to have been an unfavorable one generally and that an unknown beetle destroyed many Of the plants, so that reseeding in many cases was absolutely necessary Good yields, ments may be said to be a success so far as proving the adaptabilty of the New York soil for sugar-beet growing-the real object oft experiments. The new fac tory at Binghamton, now closing its first season, pays $5 a ton for each ton Of beets delivered to it. It also furnished the seed to growers at about cost. About beets this year, and 12,000 tons have been delivered. It Is thought that between 15000 and 1000 tons will be converted into sugar before the close of the season, mak- ing the output of the factory 1900 to 100 tons of sugar. The factory runs day and night, employs 100 men in two shifts of fifty, and is now producing fifteen tons the Rome and Binghamton factories show that it takes ten tons of beets to make one ton of sugar. Of New York States beets it is found that the percent age of saccharfne matter in the beet is equal if not far ahead of those raised in California, and other Western States. It is believed that the farmer makes profit of about 8 per ton.s Up to the time of harvesting the expense per acre is $1 IT, not including cost of seed or fertilizer"

FANSHAWE'S SELF-SACRIFICE
YEARS SIP NIT IN PRISON FOR
 ANOTHER'S CRIME.
Son of Famous New York Merchant Disgraced and Deprived of Free dom, Though He Was
 Guiltless.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec 10.-An astound- ing story comes out of Sing Sing prison. John M Davies Fanshawe, son of a famous old New York merchant, and connected by blood and marriage with families worth millions, has been con- vict there many years for crime com mitted by another.
 A curious if not extraordinary feature of the case is that so far as the real eulprit Ca woman) is concerned, she cannot be punished nor proceeded against, because under the statute the crime has been outlawed.
 An indictment for arson or any other felony except murder must be found within five years after the commission of the. crime.
 The woman has confessed, but she is legally free, while Fanshawe must serve out his term for crime he did not commit, unless pardoned by the Governor.
 This is the story: Young Fanshawe was a clerk in the Knickerbocker Fire Insurance Company in 1888. As man and wife he and Ruth Elizabeth Heart were living in lodging house at No. 50 East Twenty-ninth street. One night soon after he had insured his effects for S20O0 the building was, discovered burn ing in six places, and some or the 1n- mates had narrow escapes from death.
 Fanshawe managed to get out of his front window. His alleged wife was absent visiting friends. Fanshawe was accused of arson. Charles w. Brooke, the distinguished criminal lawyer, then living. became his counsel and all the resources of the profession were em- ployed in his behalf. He most earnestly pleaded his innocence. But so many circumstances in the case pointed to incendiarism that the jury's verdict was guilty" with recommendation for mercy Recorder Smyth sentenced him to, twelve and half years in Sing Sing. { k Az stay Of proceedings was obtained and, pending motion for a new trial his grandmother, Mrs. John NJ, Davies of New Haven, whose. fortuneais said to exceed s1.0O0,000, went his bali in the sum of $1o,U0o. ls
 | During this interval he was tem- | ployed as a clerk in a Broadway furnishing establishment and later he put in a few quiet. months with a friend boating and fishing at Highlands It sis said that he was advised to forfeit his bail and leave the country, but he refused, even though the motion for a new trial was denied. Then he .sur- rendered himself and began serving out his time in Sing Sing. But for the l jury's recommendation for mercy and 1 the great exertionsl Of his friends and counsel he would have received a full | life sentence.

might be construed as advising any thing lawless, and as Mayor of Chicago it is my duty to protect every person in it, no matter what he may be doing. Except in airy persifage when I was in a jocular mood I have never said any thing else So within forty eight hours this unbalanced young man, who had wanted a mob of 50,000 to intimidate Aldermen and who would not turn in a riot call, within forty-eight hours this daring young anarchist, who was ready to violate his oath of office and to turn the city over to criminals, ate his words and whimpered public apology.
 However, it is too late for explana- tions. The people whom he has menaced with a riot can see no airy persifiage in its seditious utterances. The community that he has threatened with anarchy cannot take kindly to his lighter moods. If the hair of mans head is harmed as a consequence of the present unrest in Chicago, he will be as guilty as Kohlsaat, Medill and Lawson, as guilty as were Parsons, Spies and Schwab. The majesty of the law must be upheld in Chicago. It is no respecter of persons. If disorder

ABUNDANCE OF WATER.
Monterey and Vicinity in No Danger
 of a Shortage.

MONTEREY, Dec. 10.-The Pacific Im- provement Company has just completed some extensive improvements in it's engagements for supplying water to this city, Del Monte and Pacific Grove. When 1t became apparent that even the great water supply of the Pacific Improvement Company system this locality would not be sufficient to meet the unusual de- mand caused by the present continued drought, all the water possible was run into the great storage reservoir near Pa ci1c Grove and consumers cautioned against waste. Immediate steps wer talk en for boring wells at various points on the system and for building. a dam in the Upper Carmel River to avoid future water famine. The dam was completed about two weeks ago and the company's engi- neers declare that even without the wells there need be no fear of a shortage here- after
 Two ten-inch wells are completed and in operation and it is practically from them that the water supply of this section is now coming. The wells are 1450 and 100 feet deep. and with the powerful steam pump that operates both the flow approxi- mate 5000 gallons a minute. The water is clear and very cold and is especially good for drinking purposes.

cret history of the case came directly after the fire, when Fanshawe's all legged wife told him that she had set the house on fire to get the insurance and help him tide over his temporary embarraSsments.
 Infatuated with the woman, young Fanshawe did nGt betray her and went to prison. It is Said that another req son why he wassso quiet after the in- cendiary fire and so reluctant to fight was his fear of biganly proceedings. It is claimed he had married Miss Heart under the impression that the decree divorcing himself and wife had been granted.
 His social relations with the woman, together with his conviction of arson, alienated him from his relatives and in the end his family abandoned him alto gether

drydock reveals the extent of the dam age.
 NEW YORK, Dec. 10.- At the com- mandant's office at the navy yard the report of an accident to the battleship Massachusetts was confirmed. The Massachusetts has already sunk about two feet below her regular water line. but is not believed to be in any danger of sinking.
 Pilot Bell, who was taking the Mas sachusetts out, said the tide was un- usually low, and the Massachusetts. while on her way to the Tompkinsville anchorage, struck the bottom. She did not, he said, run on Diamond Reef, which is off Governors Island. Fur ther than this Bell refused to talk.
 The battleship was made fast at the navy yard dock at the foot of Main
