Czolgosz sat down. He was quite
calm but 1t WAS evident that his mind
was flooded with thoughts Of his own
distress. His eyes were dilated making
them appear very brighf. His cheeks
were very pale and his outstretched
hand trembled. The guards put the
handouts on his wrists. He looked at
one of the officers. There was an ex-
preston of the profoundest fear and
helplessness in his eyes. He glanced
about at the field of heads which crowded
together in efforts to get look at him.
Every eye was cold. The prisoners eve
lids rose and fell TREMENDOUSLY and then
he fixed his gaze upon the floor In front
of him.
AT this point, Judge Titus came over
to the prisoner and babe him goodbye.
Czolgosz replied very family, letting his

The Maryland Court of Appeals has
recently given a decision to the effect
that common carriers are responsible for
iniuriss to passengers 10 their convey
anees which may be Inflicted by drunken
and disorderly persons. The court, re-
viewing case that was brought before
it, says: IF there is danger of anyone
being injured, and the employees fail to
remove, subdue or OverpOwer the turbu-
lent individual, after knowing that there
is danger, or after they ought to have
known that there was danger. If they
had not exercised proper care, that fail
ure is negligence, for the consequences
of which the company is liable" The
drunken passenger is always a nuisance
and often a menace, and the courts
words have wide application oufside Of
Maryland.

Something New for Lirht.hIp.

Diamond Shoal lightship. No. u.
Capt. Tawes, arrived in Baltimore from
her station to be installed with new
electrical apparatus, which is to send
a 13-inch beam of light from the ships
deck to the clouds, says the Baltimore
American. Two clusters of lights now
at the tops of the two masts are visible
thirteen miles at sea, but it is expect
ed that the pillar of light rising to the
skies may be seen thirty and forty
miles at sea. This new marine signal
is the device OF Commander Albert
Ross, inspector of the Fifth Light
house district. and will be put in op-
Grafton Jan. l. 1t is expected that the
sky-piercing shaft of light will also
be adopted at Fire Island, Sandy Hook
and Nantucket Shoals lights. 1t is not
proposed to abolish the present mast
head beacons. AS guide to mariners
coming in from sea the 13-inch cleo
trio beam. reaching up in the dome
of night, will be as far ahead Of big
electric beacons OF the first order as
the beacons were ahead of oil lamps.
This innovation is not only OF local
but worldwide interest.

TO MARRY A TITLE.
MISS GOBLET SAID TO BE ENGAGED
TO LORD lNGESTRE.
WeaIthiest of American Heiressss May
Give Her Hand and Fortune to q
British Earl-Match Would BE satis-
factory to Society.

Miss May Goelet, the wealthiest
American heiress in her own right,
who is spending the winter in London
with her mother is reported. on good
authority, to be engaged to Viscount
Ingestre. the son and heir of the Earl
Of Shrewsbury and Talbot. who is the
premier Earl of the Realm, and as such
takes precedence of all peers of the
rank OF earl in the British empire.
Miss Goelet and young Lord Inges-
ire have been staying ct Wilton. near
Salisbury, the country seat of the Earl
and Countess of Pembroke, and not
only have they been much in one an
others company, but have likewise
been photographed together. Lord In
gestre is the most intimate friend of
Lord Herbert, son of Lord Pembroke,
whose coming Of age has just been
celebrated. Miss Goelet is regarded as
almost one oe the family at Wilton,
being a niece of Mrs. Michael Herbert,
whose husband is younger brother of
Lord Pembroke.
A marriage between Lord Ingestre
and Miss Goelet would give satisfac-
tion to London society, and could not
in any sense be compared to those
unions in which the American bride
has brought all the fortune and the
titled husband has nothing but his cor
onet. for Lord lngestre's father is not
only extremely wealthy through the
inheritance of entailed property from
his ancestors, but has likewise made
several fortunes on his own account,
as owner of the celebrated Brereton
collieries. and also as the principal cab
owner in London. His ancestral es-
tates extend over about $4,000 acres,

FREAKS OF THE TORNADO.
Man Caught Up by Ono Describes His
Sensation.

sensation.
A tornado that was remarkable both
in appearance and in action was one
that Travelled from Texas across Okla
homa and Indian Territory in May,
1896, says a writer in Ainslee's Maya
zine. A man in Sherman, Oklahoma
Territory, who had exceptional oppor-
tunities for observing the storm, in
asmuch as he was caught up in it and
carried several hundred yards before
descending to earth again, is certain
that it was not funnel-shaped. He
says of IL: "It looked to me like a
great bali of vapor rolling over and
over toward me. When l first saw 1t
distinctly it was at hill perhaps
an eighth of a mile away. 1t seemed
to be about $50 yards wide and 100 feet
high. The motion was that of ball
rolling over and over, not spiral. and
it came on rather slowly. perhaps
thirty miles an hour. Whatever the
ball Of cloud struck was lifted right
on the ground. l saw it pick up house
after house between the hill and me,
and the cloud seemed to be full of
flying boards and timbers. When the
ball reached Mrs. C-'s, the house
nearest me. it went straight up on
its foundations. The house remained
intact until 1t was about twenty or
twenty-five feet from the ground; :.
then it burst open, and the fragments
flew in all directions. 1t looked like
an exploding bomb. The corn and
cotton standing hundred feet on eth
er side of the storms path were un-
injured. but whenever the cloud struck
the higher ground it spread out. cover
ing a wider strip of the surface. When
the cloud struck me I went up lightly
and easily, and the sensation was not
unpleasant, but l came down hard
and was badly shaken up. although
not seriously injured. On the highway
north of Sherman, fence wires were
torn from the posts and pounded into
the hard surface of the road a dis
tance of two or three inches"

UNABLE TO STAND FOR MONTHS
BECAUSE OF SPRAINED ANKLES.
Cured by ST. Jacobs OIL
(From the Cardiff Times.)


Among the thousands Of voluntary
endorsements of the great value Of St.
Jacobs Oil for sprains. stiffness and
soreness, is that Of Mrs. G. Thomas.
Alexandra Road, Gelli. Ysbrod, mean
Pontypridd, South Wales. who says:
ut is with great pleasure that I add
my wiling testimony to the invaluable
excellence of your celebrated st. Ja-
cobs Oil. as experienced in my own
case. 1 sprained both my ankles In
walking down some steps so severely
that 1 was unable to stand for several
months. The pain 1 suffered was most
severe and nothing that used helped
me until applied st. Jacobs Oil. when
they Immediately became better daily.
and in short time l was able to go
about, and soon after I was quite
cured. am now determined to ad-
wise all persons suffering from pains
to use this wonderful remedy, which
did SO much for me-"
Mrs. Thomas does not enlighten us
as to what treatment she pursued dur
ing the months she was unable to
stand, and during which time she was
suffering SO much. but we venture to
suggest that had she called in any
well-known medical man he would
have at once prescribed St. Jacobs OIL.
for 1t has conquered pain upwards OF
fifty years. and doctors know there II
nothing so good. The proprietors Of
st. Jacobs oil have been awarded
twelve gold medals by different inter-
national exhibitions as the premier
killing remedy of the world. The
committees who made the awards were
in each instance composed largely Of
the most eminent medical men OBJ
tainable. Mrs. Thomas evidently did
not know the high opinion in which
St. Jacobs Oil is held by almost every
progressive medical man.

The man cast one fierce look over
his shabby person. ''Cry!" ne ex-

his breath hard between his teeth as
the sight Of the baby face choked back
the oath that nearly escaped him.

guest. sitting with his head on his
hand. seemed to have lost his appe-
tite. The child's voice reused him
from his thoughts. and. seeing that
