he had owned for fifteen years and
which had outlived their usefulness.

advised him to kill them in humane

WITH HER TEETH.
Notorious Woman Robs Man of His
 s-.. Jeweled Scarfpin.

A
 London correspondent New York World.
 The woman in the case of the Ameri- can safe burglaries in Paris who was with ''Eddie Gerrans' when he was arrested, and escaped in the confusion and reachel London. but who has been lured back and arrested, proves to be Chicago May" well known to the police on both sides of the Atlantic. Though she has never been convicted in England she has three times been committed for trial in London for pocket-picking and larceny from the person, but has always managed to escape through lack of evidence.
 Chicago May" had little speciality of her own in the thieving line that was a lucrative ~>le. On making the acquaintance of well-dressed men at hotels, the music hall or in the streets as was her guileless practice, she was in the habit of asking them to take her for a drive in hanson. This accom- pttshed, May, who possesses beautiful set of strong white teeth, would lay her head affectionately on her com panion's coat lapel and bite off his soarfpin or his shirt studs, as the case might be. Although. as has been said.
 
 trial for this little indiscretion, her vic tims could never be induced to give evidence against her.
 It was "tChicago May" who violated the constitution and bylaws of the Lambs Club when that organization first opened its new house in Thirty sixth Street, New York, by boldly en- tering the basement smoking room one evening and demanding a drink-on a wager, as it afterward turned out. The mortified '1ambs" begged her to with draw, but she declined to do so until her thirst had been slaked by small bottle. She was finally accommodat- ed, and, in order to rid themselves of her society without a scene, one of the club cabs was called and bidden to take Chicago May" wherever she wanted to go. The driver returned to the club very tired about o'clock the next morning with a bill of $24.50. The woman had kept him going all night. 
 There are some things worse than hot weather.

H had not been in prison long uneit ne fsu a revolt to escape, and, falilns to uol so. he is alleged to have set nre to one ot tha shons causing it's destruction, whence, his nickname or flreuus Johnson. For this offense he was gwen ar, additional sentence of tweive yeaie' making in all twenty-four years: uoV- error Stevens recently granted mn a nardon on the condition that ne lell the State of Missouri.

It is hard to imagine the power of endurance that will carry a man through sixteen years or thls terrible strain. I passed greater part of this time pacing to and fro across the narrow confines of my cell ana wore out three heavy oak board noors. I also invented secret methods or wrt- ing and taught them to other prison CTS, using the guard to carry tne notes. During my confinement, III order to while away the solitude made pets of spiders, cockroacnes ana mice. and taught a white mouse 10 carry notes to other cells. The patience necessary in tanning and teaching insects was something almost incredible. think I am the only man in the United States who has spent SIX teen years in solitary confinement Tn an American prison.
 After being pardoned by Governor Stevens, Johnson was given ticket to San Antonio. Texas. and $33, and es- corted to the State line. Since then he has been relating his experiences in a number of States. but has tried in vain to secure permission from the State authorities to lecture in Mic soIlri
