Romance Surrounding the Birth Of q
Life Prisoner.


Prisoner Al Jennings, clerk in the
transfer Office OF superintendent J. C.
Laney, at the Ohio penitentlary. is
daily expecting an order for a trans
fer to the Indian Territory for a new
trial. Jennings was received at the
penltentiary Feb. 21, 1893, as life
prisoner the charge being the robbery
of the United States mails; in other
words, train robbery. Under the
United States law, where robbery is
made and firearms are used, the PEN
atty is life imprisonment. The juryin
his case recommended mercy, and the
Judge, who was an aged man. said In
passing sentence that, II he found at
the end Of 20 years that Jennings had
made a good prisoner, he would sign
recommendation for communication Of
sentence.
There's tiDge OF romance attaching
to the birth of the prisoner, for con-
nected therewith is the clash of arms
and the shouts of combating nIen,
among them Superintendent Laney!for
whom jennings is now clerking. In
November, 1863, the Union and Con-
federate forces encountered each other
near Clinch river, in Casswel county,
Tenn. In the fight which followed, the
families living in the vicinity took
refuge in a church, among them the
Jennings family, and during the sue
ceeding fight, on the 25th of November,
AL Jennings was born. Mr.. Laney, who
served In the One Hundred and Twen-
ey-nlnth Ohio infantry, was in the bat
tie, and at the time when Jennings was
born the regiment was only a few
hundred feet away.
The prisoner is a nephew of the eel
ebralted Parson Brownlow, and on his
mothers side was descendant of the
southern family of Seates. The war
bitterness between the two sections of
the family was most intense. A
Brownlow commanded a Union Tenn
cssee regiment and an uncle on the
Seates side commanded "a Confederate
Virginia regiment. Jennings was a
practicing lawyer after attaining man
hood, but went in pursuance Of a
bloody feud which marked his earlier
years after the close of the war, and in
following the man he wanted, became
involved in the exciting and adventur-
GUS life which eventually outlawed him
He is fine talker and tells some in
teresting stories of the wild life of the
plains.-Ohio State Journal.

Wealth and Responsibility Social

New Yorks four hundred have a
new morsel to roll under their tongues.
The Sloane divorce and the marriage
of Mrs. Sloane to Perry Belmont few
hours later will keep the gossips busy
for some time to come. They have al
ready figured out that the former Mrs.
Sloane will lose nothing financially by
her exchange of husbands. She has
been divorced from a man worth nine
millions, has surrendered a half mill
lion dollar residence on Seventy-sec-
ond street, together with all dover
rights, jewels, pictures, etc. In return
she will wear the priceless Belmont
jewels for which her husbands father
ransacked the world and paid $3,0O0,-

house and as much wealth as before.

elusive set.At any rate that is the ques-
tfon now under consideration and it is

BELGIAN INSANE.
Original Method of TreatinE Them
The Harmless Are COIOnized
by the Government

Consul Winslow writes from Liege
In regard to the system of caring for
the insane In Belgium, which, he says,
is original with that country. The pa
tients are placed in quiet villages and
are cared for In the homes of the citi-
zens, who receive 81 cents per day for
the food, clothing and care of each pa
tient. Only the harmless insane are
admitted to these colonies. and med
ical director is In charge of each.
There Is also an infrmary for the
sick. The patient Is allowed all possible
liberties and Is made to feel that Ne
belongs to the family In which he re-
sides.
In one colony In the province of
Liege 10 per cent. Of the afflicted have
been entirely cured by this treatment,
aud the condition of others much i'm
proved.

Another great consideration
that appeals so strongly to every

Curse Hanging Over skiho.

There is, according to Highland ira
dition, a curse hanging over Skibo,
Scotland, and those who would have it
for their own, and there are High land
seers who are shaking their heads and
eagerly wondering whether 1t may not
in due time alight on Mr.. Carnegie and
his descendants. The tale is one of
cruel wrong done to the original pos
SCISSORS, the Grays, of Skibo, and the
Murrays. of Pulrossie, who, for CEN
turtles, owned the lands now incor-
porated into the one estate that is in
the hands of the great Scotch-Amer-
lean. Some $50 years ago the owners
were deprived of their lands by foul
means, a curse that brought upon the
place, and from that day to this it has
kept on changing hands with almost
every generation. The Douls were they
who ousted the Grays. but II was not
long that they remained in possession.
After one generation they gave place
tn the Mackays, who. in turn, were sue
ceeded by the Gordons, Dempsters.
Doffer-Dempsters, Chirnsides, and
Sutherlands. The Sutherlands were
unwilling to have Skibo go to Mr.. Car
negie, but they were unable TO pre-
vent it, and now the Scotch-American
is in power and is turning the castle
into one of the finest mansions in the
Highlands.
