The Maryland convicts have some good
points. and know how to do the grace
full thing when occasion offers. Indeed,
the Baltimore Sun, which recently de-
voted nearly a column to a recital Of their
generous acts, thinks these unfortunate
offenders are by no means beyond hope
of reformation or insensible TO kindly
treatment. Our contemporary gives
many instances where the prisoners have
behaved most handsomely. quite re-
Gently they presented a fellow-cOnvict
who was about to "retire" from the peni-
Tertiary, with a handsome cane and silk
umbrella While the latter article is wen
calculated to lead some other man to at
tempt theft and thereby fall, We never
theless appreciate the sentiment which
prompted the gift But the Maryland
law-breakers have done something more
than dispense umbrellas and canes. Seve-
raj times they have raised large sums of
money for various chartabls purposes.
and in no case has their generosity been
prompted by selfish motives. 1t all goes
TO prove that there are some good men
in the penitentiary. while everybody con-
cedes the converse of this proposition.

A PAIR OF TOUGH COONs.
Wanted Here and Elsewhere for In
fractions of Law.

Sometime ago the Shreveport
authorities had in Jail there a
coupled Of tough female coonS, who
we're charged with shOp-lifting and
burning houses, and who made
their escape from jail.
These coons we're traced to this
city and the officers of Shreveport
came here and with the police
searched the towA for them, but
subsequent developments show why
they could not be found or recog-
nized, the two women having shaw
en- their heads and using wigs thus
completely Disgusting themselves.
One Of these wenches while here
secured place as domestic, at the
home of Postmaster Foreman, and
while there stole diamond ring
and necklace pawning the ring in
a pawn shop here. This gave Mar
shal Casey q clue and he and POST
master Foreman went to Little
Rock in search of the pair and
rounded them up and brought them
back and they are now in jail, We
Tclip this account of the capture
from the Arkansae Gazette, as we
learn from Postmaster Foreman it
is correct one;
The two women are wanted at
Texarkana and to that city they
were taken last night by City Mar
shall W. E. Casey and Postmaster
Ben M. Foreman, of TeIarkana,
They are known as Sarah Porter,
alias Laura Lewis, alias Mrs Swiuk,
aHd Lucy Lee, Alias CerthA Lewis.
Both are ebony-hued. The first
named damsel was employed for
three days at the residence of Mr..
Foreman. When she left that serv-
ice she took with her a diamond
ring and necklace. The ring was
found in a Texarkana paWnShop
and the negress was wearing the
necklace when she was arrested,
They had been in Little Rock but
few days and Sarah Porter had
secured employment as cook in a
private residence at 800 East Mark
ham street. Lucy Lee was board
ing at Second and Rock streets,
The Texarkana authorities traced
them to this city, came here and
notified Chief Mcmahon, with the
result as stated. The two women
wore wigs when clad as females.
Their natural hair was shortcut
enabling them to pass as males in
the proper garb, Dressed as men
they beat their way from place to
place in freight cars. After their
arrest they confessed to series of
infractioAs, corroboratiug to form
er belief of the police that they are
the same pair wanted at Alexandria
La, for robbing house and set
ting fire to it, and at Shreveport
for burglary aud larceny and jail
breaking, At Texarkana charges
of burgalry and grand larceny
await both.
The detectives received from the
two a number of hats, caps and
sone dress goods gifted" out of
Main street stores, but the local
authorities were glad enough to
turn the tough females over to the
Texarkaua authorities to receive
greater punishment than could be
meted out for the violations com
nltted here,

MARTIAL LAW DECLARED.
Police Unable to Cope With Rioter,
in Ontario,

DETROIT, July "a Tribune" spe-
cial from London, Ont. says: The city
has been placed under martial law, and
additional militiamen ordered in from
the adjacent towns, as a result Of yes
terday's street car riots.
Late last night the police became
unable to cope with the rioters, and
the militia was called out to clear the
streets. The trouble commenced in
the afternoon. when crowds drove the
non-union crews Of several street cars
from their posts and stoned the cars.
One car was fired after the crew had
LETT it, and was almost destroyed. The
police dispersed the afternoon rioters
without aid.
The company left six cars on Dun
das street in the afternoon, and did
not attempt to move them to the barns
until night. When the attempt was
made the rioting broke out afresh, The
cars We're stoned, and the mob became
so boisterous that the Riot Act had
to be read. This had not the desired
effect, and Mayor Wilson called out
the militia. Several street arrests were
made No one was seriously injured
by the stone throwing.
The city is quiet tonight, and no
further trouble is looked for.

IN FLOOD DISTRICTS.
Negroes Being Fed by the Relief
COMMITTEES.

GALVESTON. July 9.-Relief work
In the Brazos flooded district has been
systematized. three relief trains leav-
ing Houston, Galveston and San An
tonic daily. Probably 10000 negroes
are now being fed, and will need to be
sustained for some time by the Relief
Committee.
The water is falling at all points
except in Brazoria County.
All sorts Of estimates are made as to
the amount of the cotton loss. An esti-
mate Of 30 per cent. is considered con-
servative. This will be a money loss
Of $5;000,O0O. The loss sustained by
the destruction Of other crops, houses,
fencing. stock and bridges will be
81, 500, 600. while the loss to the rail-
roads is probably $1OOO,OO0, making a
total Of $850O,OO0 b
Owing to the exaggerated reports
circulated as to the. loss of life In the
recent floods, the News has made a
special effort to secure the facts from
each county. Reports received from
thirty counties show ioss OF thirty
seven lives from drowning. 4 Negroes
supposed to have been drowned COM

yetathe universal cry on the Continent
is that there is not enough money to

Paris has got through the Bourse

the market has been crippled and

India is to have a gold standard.
Such is the probable decision Of the

that 20,O0OOOO pounds at least in gold

borrowed, and doubtless could be with
comparative ease, but the effect of
this artificial demand for the metal

Nevertheless, the prospect is good for

especially If $5,OOO.OOO of the stock is
already sold in New York That will
give the Americans an interest in the
government of the country, perhaps, to
prevent trouble when Diaz's reign is
over. Our great fear is lest the Mexi-
can bonds should merely represent
Diaz' life annuity. But meanwhile, one
big stock dealt in on half dozen big
markets is better than a bundle of
small ones mostly held by German
banks and f1nanciers, and for this rea-
son the conversion is likely. to be a
success.

A Health Giving Ererci.e.

Breathing exercises alone will do
much to improve the general health
of nearly all women. Stand before a
mirror, in room into which a good
supply of air is coming, and raise the
hands straight over the head, and let
them drop naturally to the side-with-
out attempting to square the shoul-
ders. Then closing the mouth, take a
long, deep breath and hold it in the
lungs few seconds. Repeat this as
often as you can without feeling tired.
Each day try the same exercise until
you can hold a breath for a minute
and minute and a half This will in
crease the exterior of the chest and
develop the interior. Short, quick gasps
are not normal breathing. BY reducing
the respiration to ten q minute for five
consecutive minutes three times a day
one will soon acquire full breathing.
This is most important for weak and
sickiy children. AS the fresh air is a
great stimulant to the lungs, when
deeply inhaled, one has to be very
careful not to bring dizziness by over-
exercising at first. Every woman must
be a guide to herself Always stop
exercising before fatigue sets in, as
over exercise and no exercise at all
bring the same results. Never try eth-
limit Of your strength--Lillian Baynes

BRITISH MONEY MARKET.
A LITTLE TOPsY TURvEY THE
PAST WEEK.
Bill Brokers Were Working Rates
Down In Belief That Money
Would be Cheap.

NEW YORK, July 10.-The Times I"
London financial correspondent cables:
Our money market has been a little
topsy-turvey this week. The bill
brokers were working the rates down
below per cent, In the full belief that
money will be cheap. It has not fallen
as expected. On the contrary, it has
been scarce and dear Perhaps great
>er ease will come NEXT week, but i'll
any case extreme cheapness is not
possible.
We are doing an enormous trade,
and a still more enormous finance
business, as the returns of the bank
ers' clearing house of the past week
prove They show an increase of f5S,-
OO0O on last years total for the
same week, and at f253, ,312,000 repre-
sent the highest weeks total ever
known.
Throughout the provinces it is just
the same. The county banks find To-
cal employment for their money, Rnd
can spare less for London. Cold is
still going to Scotland, instead Of COM
ing back, az it usually does at this
period of the year. The foreign banks.
too. loan more and more on London.
