POSITION OF AMERICAN WOMEN. Hall Caine Says It Is Higher Than in Any
 Other Country.

Chillicothe, Mo, Dec 3o.-Hall Came, writing to the Sorosis, a local woman s club under date of Greba Castle, Isle Of Man. December 8, says:
 When one considers what the posi- ton of woman was, even in the most civilized countries, as recently as one hundred years ago, and how high place she has now won for herself, not only in the statute books of nations, but in the republic of art, one cannot but feel that the change is even more remarkable than some of the great ma terial developments which have dis tinguished the country. Speaking of one who has seen life in many coun- tries, I feel that it is within the truth to say that the position of woman Is higher in America than in any other part of the world. For this result American women have, no doubt to thank their own natural gift and great independence of mind, but they have also. I think, to be grateful to the splen- did chivalry in the other sex, which is nowhere more conspicuous than in the best type of American gentlemen"

BAG FULL OF CHICK EMS.
Andrew Frank Thought to Have Rob-
 bed Chicken Coop.

About o'clock yesterday morning as Patrolman Barry was patrollling his beat on State street he observed an Italian come out of Lincoln street with large telescope bag in his hand which he carried as if it was of some weight. The officer stopped the man and ques- tioned him as to the contents of the bag. The Italian who gave his name as Andrew Frank, of 1S4 Hamilton street, said he had nothing but pair of pants" At police headquarters where the bag was opened there were found in it eight large fat chickens In fine feather, clucking and squawking as they were brought to the light. Frank was asked where he had secured them and replied that he had bought them in Centerville. It was thought to be after business hours for any poultry dealer and the Italian was charged with theft and locked up. When searched there was found on him q large pair of pinchers. which it is as- stunned he used in effecting an entrance to some chicken coop.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co.
GROWING OF sUMArRA TOBACCO.
Great Interest in the Successful Experi-
 ment Made in Connecticut.

Washington, Dec. 30.-The publication of the successful results of the experi-
 ments conducted by the division of soils of the United States department of ag- riculture in cooperation with the Con- necticut experiment. station in the pro- duction of Sumatra tobacco near Hart ford, and the subsequent sale of the crop to Kansas City firm, has caused widespread interest in the experiments among tobacco men. Numerous com munications on the subject have been received by the department and two suggestions made as to the manner in which the tobacco should have been disposed of.
 The first was that tobacco leaf grown by the government should not have been sold, but should have been distributed
 in small quantities to dealers in leaf
 tobacco and other interested persons.
 The other was that if it had to be sold
 it should have been auctioned off at
 New York, Philadelphia and other points, so as to give all leaf dealers an equal chance.
 In reply to these communications and suggestions Professor Milton Whitney chief of the division of soils, stated that the tobacco was grown by and was the property of the Connecticut Tobacco Experiment company, which is virtual ly state experiment station, and was sold by the company, the department having no rights in the matter. The crop was merely grown under the direc- tion of the department.
 Professor Whitney thinks the propo- sition to sell at auction at a number of places is a good one, and says If the work is continued next year and larg CT crop is to be handled this method of disposing of it should be adopted, and doubtless will be by the Connecticut people.
 Growers are again warned against at tempting to grow this tobacco except when there is a. reasonable chance of success. So far as known the success full growth of Sumatra will be confined to Florida and Connecticut.

Then Fearing They Would be Cremated
 They Put 1t Out.

New York, Dec. 30-When the one hundred prisoners in the Westchester county jail at White Plains heard on Saturday night that their fellow pris- oner, Edgar c. BurnZ, the nineteen year-old murderer, had been sentenced to prison for life, they made a desperate effort to escape
 Forming into two separate companies, the prisoners kept guard while two leaders went to a lower tier and piled a dozen straw ticks from the cell cots in heap on the floor. Then they set ire to the heap. Instantly the Jail was in an uproar. The cry of fire was rais ed and Jailer Johnson, who was in his office heard it.
 Johnson saw that the entire jail was filled with smoke, and he knew that if he attempted to enter the prisoners cage alone the men would seize him and take away his keys. You will have to roast" he shouted. You started the fire, now bake or put it out"
 The burning material lay on the ce- ment floor and the turnkey knew the fire could not damage the jail. When he closed the door again the prisoners immediately set to work with their bare hands and put out the fire. Burnz did not have anything to do with the at tempt at jail breaking as he was in the woman's department.

Bessie Small Mnrries Isaac AIpcrt, m
 Orthodox Hebrew.

There was great rejoicing at the
 home of Isaac Albert at 75 York street last night when he introduced his wife
 to his friends, a wife that was born a Christian and brought up in a Chris tan family The wedding took place at the Factory street synagogue and the rites of the Jewish church were admin istered by Rabbi Frommer.
 The bride is about eighteen years old and has always belonged to the Catho- lie faith. The groom on the contrary is an orthodox Hebrew and the union is a most unusual one. The wedding was held at o'clock and immediately after a reception was held at the resi- dence of the groom's parents at 75 York street.
 Courier reporter called at the house last night and found the festivities at their height. The family were averse to answering any questions concerning the change of faith of the bride and desired as little publicity as possible about the affair. It was said that the bride had lived with her mother, who keeps little store on Whalley avenue, until she became infatuated with AL pert. The latter is but twenty years old and when he spoke of marrying af Christian girl There was sorrow and op- position in the heart of Mrs. Alpert. She put her foot down on the matter, and refused to give her consent to such a thing. The young people were dis mayed and insisted that they would marry in any event. They discussed the question from all standpoints and it was finally decided that Bessie should become a Jewess or embrace the He- brew religion. It was agreed that she should take up her home with the mother of the groom and should be in- structed for her entrance into the church. Three months or ninety days was the term of probation or tuition, and at the end of that time the young people were to marry.
 The time was up a few days ago and the young people were made happy by 4 the rabbi When received into the Jew ish church the name of the girl was changed to Leah, from Bessie, and as a Jewess she began life anew, and lives in an entirely new world.
 At the wedding there were guests from New York. Boston and Provi- dence, and the festivities lasted until a late hour.

AWFUL EXPERIENCE AT SEA
THE BRITISH STEA MER LAKE ME-
 GANTIC NEARLY LOST.
Steering Gear Badly Damaged In a Merci- less Gnle-Am Immense Sea Breaks Over Hcr-One of the Crew Killed and Others IMjured-Three Life Boats Smashed-Indescribab Scenes Among the $50 Passengers-Ship Limps Back to Queenstown.

Queenstown, Dec. 31.-The British
 steamer Lake Megantic, Captain Taylor,
 from Liverpool December 25 and
 Queenstown December 26 for St. John,
 returned to Queenstown harbor yester-
 day (Sunday) morning after terrible
 experience in the gale. She left Queens town Wednesday, carrying the Canadi- an mails, forty-fve saloon and second- cabin passengers and about five hun
 dred steerage passengers, principally foreigners, with many Jews among them. She had reached a point about night, when she encountered a merciless gale. Behaving splendidly, she would have got through had not the steering gear become damaged badly, placing her in a dangerous position.
 The crew worked bravely and rigged hand gear and the vessel was again brought under control. Unfortunately, the hand gear also became damaged. The deckhands had an awful time. The gale lasted twenty hours and an inn mense sea broke over the vessel, smash ing the booby hatch and flooding her between decks, where the steerage pas sengers were located. It also washed away a greater portion of the fittings and did considerable deck damage. Three lifeboats were smashed. Some of the crew were seriously injured and one seaman was killed on deck. When the storm moderated Captain Taylor de- cided to return to Queenstown. It was difficult work to steer the big ship, but she managed to anchor here without as- sistance. Her officars and men were exhausted To everybody's surprise the Beaver company directed Captain Tay Tor to take the Lake Megantic to Liver pool and she proceeded this evening with all her passengers and mails to be to the Lake Superior, which will leave the Mersey Tuesday.
 The company ordered a tug to accom- pany her, but none was available here. Tugs will be sent from Liverpool to meet her. There was considerable anx- ety as to her safety in her disabled con- 1ition, especially as the weather has again broken into a high northwest gale.
 It was impossible to inetrview any of the Lake Megantic's people and the agents are reticent but it is that there were indescriba- ole scenes among the passengers. who Ire said to have howled in despair for hours, expecting that tile steamer would founder at any moment.

 Bishop Retained as CounseI for Hart

 Public interest still centers about the Rathbun poison mystery, although the past twenty-four hours have developed no new phase in the case Both Mrs. Rathbun and John F. Hart, the brake- man and boarder of the Rathbun fam fly, remain at the jail, locked in separ- ate cells. The Rathbun children are at their home on Chestnut street, living in daily expectation of the arrival of their mother. They are confident of her release from the jail eventually and are kept up with the hope that all will soon be over and their mother be a free woman.
 Hart however, has counsel now to look after his interests. He is a mem- sber of the Sons of Veterans, and the camp of which he is a member has re- tained Attorney Frank s. Bishop to look after the case as far as Hart might be concerned. Attorney Bishop was seen at his home last night by a Courier re-. porter and in response to inquiries he said he was retained Saturday after noon by the Sons Of Veterans.
