FROM THE DEVILS JEsTBOOK.

Beside the sewing table, chained and
bent,
They stitch for the lady, tyrannous
and proud
For her wedding gown, for them a
shroud;
They stitch and stitch, but never mend
the rent
Torn in life's golden curtains. Glad
Youth went,
And left them alone with Time; and
now if bowed
With burdens they should sob ana
cry aloud
Wondering, the rich would look from
their content.
And so this glimmering life at last re-
cedes
In unknown, endless depths beyond
recall;
And what's the worth of all our an
Gent creeds,
If here at the end of ages this is all
A white face floating in the whirling
ball,
A dead face FLASHING in the river
reeds?
Edwin Markham.

A CHISEL IN HIS HAND.
Remarkable Discovery Made By Means
of the X-Rays.

One of the most remarkable incidents
in the annals of surgery was brought
to light yesterday by the aid of the
X-rays, says the Baltimore Sun.
About IL weeks ago machinist en-
ployed at the shops of the Geiser Man
ufacturing company, at Waynesboro,
Pa, was found lying unconscious at
the side of the machine he had been
operating. There was a cut across the
bridge of his nose, another below the
chin, and still another on one of his
legs The machine had contained two
steel chisels, each five and a half inches
long, one inch wide and one-quarter
inch thick. One of the chisels was
found lying on the floor near the ma
chine, but, although a diligent search
was made, the other chisel could not
be found.
The injured man was given medical
attention at his home and later was
brought to Baltimore and taken to St.
Joseph's hospital, on North Caroline
street. He was treated in one Of the
wards, and after several weeks the
wounds healed. About three weeks
ago the patient began to complain of a
stiffness in the muscles Of the neck
and later partial paralysis of some
of the nerves of the face and neck de-
veloped. The conclusion was reached
that there was some foreign substance
in the wound, and it was decided that
the patient should be photographed by
the X-rays.
Yesterday an attendant at the hos
pital took the patient to the state nor
NAL school, the physical laboratory Of
which has one of the finest X-rays
equipments in the country. Prof. Will
liam c. A. Hammel, of the chair of
physics, placed the patient under the
action of the rays and by means of the
Horoscope located the lost chisel in
tn patients face and throat. The
tool when it flew from the machine,
must have struck on the bridge of the
mans nose sharp and foremost, and,
taking a downward course, penetrated
the bones, flesh and muscles until it
reached almost to the vertebrae.
After locating the chisel, Professor
Hamel mace a photograph of the face
and head of the patient. The radio
graph shows the skull and the bones
of the face, and distinctly shows the
chisel
The upper end of the tool is shown
just where the bony structure of the
nose begins, and can be traced along
it's entire length almost to the verte-
brae. The picture is so distinct that
the rounded edges of the chisel can be
plainly distinguished.
The chisel, in it's course, not only
narrowly missed the jugular vein, but
came within a shor. distance of sever
ing the base of the tongue.
The patient, before the accident, was
a strong, robust man, but he has now
become greatly emaciated on account
of his inability to swallow food. He
also experiences great difficulty in ar
ticulating, and it is with difficulty that
he can make himself understood. It
is expected that an operation will De
performed within a few days to re-
move the chisel.

BALD EAGLES CAPTURED.
Two Young Birds Made Prisoners
by farmers ROx

Franklin, Pa, Aug. Al. S. Sechler, of
Titusville, Pa, who is visiting his father
in Sandy Creek township, captured two
bald eagles on his fathers farm yester-
day, which are the finest specimens seen
in this neighborhood in many years. A
large bald eagle, supposed to be the moth
er of the birds captured, has been seen
thereabouts at intervals for some time
past. Yesterday Sechler and some COM
panions saw two eagles at the mouth OF a
cave, but when they approached the eagles
retreated into it. Sechler secured small
rope and entered the cave. The birds at
tempted 10 hide from their pursuer, but
Sechler was able to locate them by the
kissing sound they made. He succeeded in
lassoing the pair, one about the foot and
the other about the neck. The eagles at
first displayed much fright, but in a short
time became accustomed to their sur
roundings and Sechler hopes to tame them.
The eagles are of the variety usually
found in Tennessee and they are supposed
to have come from that State. They are
young and measure six feet from tip to tip
of their wings. Their heads are entirely
bald. Their feathers are white, but are
beginning to turn brown. The birds have
been put on exhibition in a store window
in this city and crowds watch them from
early morning until late at night.

RELEASED FROM PRISON.
Wealthy Miner Doyle Set Free From
Durance Vile.

Colorado Springs, Col. Aug. flames
Doyle, the millionaire mining man, whose
legal controversy with James T. Burns over
the Portland mine, resulted in his being
committed to Jail for contempt of court,
was released yesterday morning by order of
the district court. The release was pursu-
ant to conditional judgment entered by
the district court at Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Doyle has been in Jail several months.
The action of the Iowa court and the court
here reopens the entire case and the con-
troversy is in exactly the condition it was
year ago when the first proceedings were
had.
Doyle and Burns were partners and To-
Gated the Portland mine. They Quarreled
and dissolved partnership, and last year
Doyle brought suit in the Iowa courts at
Council Bluffs to recover a judgment for
$3.50, 600 alleged to be due him on account
of the stock he owned in the company.
Doyle secured Judgment for this sum, but
subsequently Burns attorneys filed mo-
ton to set aside the judgment.
Prior to Doyle's obtaining Judgment in
Iowa, Judge Lunt, of Ell Paso county, Col.
had enjoined him from taking further steps
in the matter, and when the Judgment was
rendered he was cited before Judge Lun,
! for contempt, adjudged guilty, and CON-
mitted to the Ell Paso county jail Doyle
now declares that he will fight the lawsuit
to the end.

AT HIS POST AS USUAL.
Russell Sage's Celebration of His
Eighty-fhird birthday.

New YORK, Aug 4.-Eighty-three years
of the bus. life of Uncle Russell Sage
rounded themselves off today when the
sun rose gayly upon this 4th day of August
of the last year but one of the nine
teenth century. The veteran financier and
speculator did not linger in bed any longer
than he has done on most of the brisk
mornings of his long career of money
getting. There was one very weighty
thing to be decided, and that was wheth-
er he should go down town to business as
usual, or, as his wife and friends had
| urged him to do, spend the day in peace
| full rural recreation, in celebration of his
attainment TO a ripe, yet vigorous old age.
When the clock in his breakfast-room
struck this morning, Mr.. Sage had not
yet decided this question, and Mrs. Sage
was still hoping that for once Wall Street
would not see him on business day. But
she was very anxious, and it was plain
she was not counting many chickens before
they were hatched.
Mr. Sage's yearning to hear the first
morning click click" of the stock ticker
| in his Office has been a distinct passion for
years.
Mrs Sage had planned a quiet day for
Mr.. Sage and herself with family friends
at Lawrence, L. /. There was to be a
MONDAY luncheon under the spreading
trees around the spacious country house,
where the cooling breeZes play. There
were 10 be some simple sports and much
jollity. 1t was to be the happiest birth
day that Mr.. Sage had ever had if Mrs.
Sage could make ii so. But the great inan-
cier hesitated, and at 8 O'Clock was at
his Office as usual, evidently having de-
clined to accompany Mrs. Sage to the
country.
