TRIP OF A BOTTLED NOTE.
Dropped In Lake Huron. II Was Car

On Aug 13, 1898, Mr.. and Mrs. John
France and Mr. and Mrs. \. Il. Bell
OF Decatur, near Wabash, Ind. while
aboard a steamer In Lake Huron near
the strait OF Mackinac threw over
board a tightly cOrked bottle Of very
thick glass, containing brief note TO
the finder and signed by all OF the four.
They had entirely forgotten the Incl
dent until recently, when Mr. France
received by mail note from II. kau-
maker of Columbus O., stating that
he had. while at the dewey festivities
In New York, picked up the bottle.
which was floating In New York har-
Dor says the Chicago Record II was
then tightly sealed, and the note was
found Just as written.
Mr.. Kaumaker expressed the hope
that all of the four were alive and
well, The bottle apparently had made

Erie, over Niagara and through the

NEW INSTRUMENT OF DEATH
Strange Outht Found In n COnvict's
Pocket In New York.

Pocket In New York.
Warden Hagan Of the Tombs has In
his possession novel weapon, perhaps
the most dangerous ever taken from q
prisoner. says the New York World.
The origin OF this deadly implement
was an ordinary hypodermlc syringe.
II IL the hypodermlc syringe adapted
TO crime. The slender. hollow needle
with which the puncturc is made and
the drug injected In ordinary use is
made into a sort of tiny blow pipe dart
which, when the piston is pressed, will
hy for distance of several feet with
sufficient force to puneture the flesh
and remain buried In the almost imper-
ceptible wound II makes. Its hollow
core is large enough to carry sufficient
quantity of drug 10 cause speedy I'M
consciousness or death itself.
Pressed against a persons arm or
leg-or body In crowd and the piston
showed hard the deadly dose would go
through any ordinary thickness OF
clothing and carry its fatal dose deep
into the flesh. Commissioner Lantry,
Dr. Campbell Of the prison medical
corps and q number of experts In Grim
inal devices have examined the weap-
on, and all pronounced 1t not only
something new IN the implements of
crime, but something more deadly in
Its possibilities than they have ever
seen. we found the thing hid away
In the coat lining Of O notorious Grim
inal of New York" said Warden Ha-
gan the other day. He was arrested
for highway robbery and is now serv.
ing 4 sentence. 1t showed evidence OF
recent use"
The warden, by way OF illustration,
barely touched the end of the piston,
and the dart shot out and remained
sticking IN the coat OF q reporter seated
fully four feet away. IAN the autop-
s!es in the world would not be likely
10 reveal the cause Of death in q per-
son killed with this thing" he said.
The implement was made for criml-
nal purposes. Not long after the prls-
oncr who had II was sent to prison a
villainous looking scoundrel came here
and asked for the syringe. He had an
order from the convict for 1t, but !
would not let him have It,"
The syringe, two long, slender vials,
/ n number of needles and small ex-
tension tube, were compactly slowed
away in 4 little aluminium case that
could be slipped into the waistcoat
pocket. The extension tube Is made
! TO fit into the end Of the syringe, there
by extending It and making Of 1t q
miniature rifle barrel, from which the
deadly darts could be thrown to q
much greater distance than from the
syringe itself, This particular outfit

SOCIAL AFFAIRS ON SUNDAY.
Philadelphia Society Leaders Want
Men to Be Able TO Attend.

A movement Is on foot among num-
Der of fashionable people in Philadel.
phis, including several recognized So
ciety leaders, to give their large enter
tainments this winter. such as teas,
musicales, luncheons, dinners and re-,
ceptions. on Sunday.
The reason given for this innovation.
is that 1t is we'll nigh impossible for
men to be able to go to social functions.
during the week. and the dearth Of the.
male element at afternoon teas has
done more than anything else to rem
der these functions unpopular, says the
New York Times. 1t Is argued by the
advocates of Sunday entertainments
that they are given in oil large cities
and are generally the most agreeable
entertainments Of the week.
Edmund D. Lewis, whose musical
entertainments are among the most
agreeable given In Philadelphia during
the winter. In speaking on this subject.
said: Il think 1t would be nice to have
entertainments ON Sunday, and l see
no harm whatever In them. In fact. I
am thinking Of giving q large musicale
this winter on Sunday evening"
Mrs. John H. Easily said: Il think
that it would be wrong to give large
! formal entertainments on Sunday. such
as would involve labor and work for.
servants. who should have Sunday as
day of rest. see no harm. however,
! in music on Sunday afternoon, when
few friends drop in to take cup OF
/ tea"
Miss Agnes Repplier. the essayIst. in.
| giving her views on the subject said: ::
Sunday Is an occasion for informal
social functions that do not interfere
with attendance at church In the morn
| ing or any regular devotional exercises.
My ideal Is the French Catholic inter-
probation Of Sunday-piety, rest and
play combined. Piety Is not incom-
patible with healthful gayety. and tho
recreation that Sunday can blend with
1t Is one OF the most refreshing stlmu.
lants to our aspirations and efforts on
the other six days"
All the clergymen spoken to on the
subject are opposed to the movement,
but nevertheless 1t promises to be for.
