KEEPS KEYS OF THE JAIL.
Woman Has Charge of the County'L
Homo for Malefactors.

Probably the only woman jailer in
the United States is Mrs. Anna Melon
aid of Marysville, w. Va. She occupies
the position of a deputy sheriff and
has charge of a Jail in which some OF
the most desperate characters are kept.
She is a widow and lives
alone with her two children
in the Jail, in which there are
now confined two of the most desperate
moonshiners ever captured in the state
and n man charged with murder.
She was appointed by Sheriff
Isaac Lewis over several 9TH
or applicants because of her
great personal bravery and her
skill in handling a rifle and a revolver.
She does not know what fear is; she is
a dead shot with either a rifle or a re-
%volver. and has a killed a good deal OF
big game especially deer which she is
very found of hunting. She will be 4S
years old this month, is descended
from one of the original settlers OF
Grant county and has never been out
OF the country. Her husband died last
year, leaving her dependent upon her
own resources. The Jail is at Marys-
vile, but the county seat is at Peters
burg, and when her prisoners are want
ed in court she has to take them ten
miles under her own protection, but
non has ever yet escaped from her.
Sam Self. one OF the most notorious
moonshiners the state has ever known,
is now in her custody. Officers have
been trying for many years to arrest
him, but he always managed to elude
them till a few weeks ago. when they
slipped up on him at night at his
home at the Smoke Holes. After his
arrest he said that he had ten guns
on his premises when he was arrested,

sc,em, to Ann,hua,. Distance.

A description of the proposed ex-
press electric mono-rail line between
Manchester and Liverpool was given
to a committee of the House of Lords.
The railway is constructed on an A
shaped platform, on which is laid the
line which bears the carriage. Two
sets of rails at the side, against which
two sets of wheels operate, keep the
car steady when running round a curve
at a high speed. II is intended 20 run
these trains at 10 miles an hour, so
that II q line were constructed be-
tween London and Liverpool the dis
lance would be covered under two
hours. There is no risk of collision,
as by a system of blocking and signal
ing the trains are kept fourteen
miles apart.-London Daily Me-.

In the past six or eight years French

planted by American glasses. which

American spectacles are now easily
the best in the world. and their SUI

manufactured productions-namely,
a%daptability to their use, good work
manship, uniformity and Interchange

made in this country great improve
ments in the special machinery with

city. He showed up so well in a game
against the North Attleboros that Mike
Donlin, who was interested in the
latter. signed Murphy TO play with
North Attleboro team and he soon be-
came a great favorite with the latter.
Early in the spring of 1900 Fred Doe.

Murphy. From the start of the past
campaign Murphy's strong and CON
sistant playing was the talk of the

siderable attention from major league
managers, but none would take a
chance on him except New York. Muir
ply was so strongly recommended to
President Freedman, OF the latter, that
he agreed to give him a trial. Murphy
participated in 81 championship games
with the Norwich team before he was
released to New York, ranking second
in the Connecticut league official bat

STORY ON STOCKINGS.
Many Women match Their Gowns with
THAR IIosierv.

Their Hosiery.
This Is the story OF the woman and
ner stockings. II is a story that mast
be told in whispers. for the world in
general is never supposed to think that
the woman wears anything more per-
sonaI than hosiery. But the stockings
of the oma this year are something
to dream about. The desire for thin
footwear has come in with the demand
for light and airy fabrics In dress
goods, and the stockings are quite the
thinnest of them all. There are no
particular stockings for any particular
purpose. The finest and mos beauti-
full of hosiery is worn for all purposes.
Naturally, the more elaborate designs
of lace and embroidery are reserved
for evening and dress wear, but stock
ings Of the finest quality are worn for
all sorts of outing purposes. 1t is
natural that. with short skirts and
low shoes there should be a desire for
pretty stockings. and they come with
fancy clocks, open work. and with en-
~broldered figures in little neat pat
terms, "a well as In more elaborate de-
signs.
The most elaborate silk stockings
have medallions of lace running up
owe the instep, handsome embroidery
appliqued upon net, and vertical lines
OF lace set in with embroidered edges.
and there are alternate lines Of lace
and open work. There are designs in
roses. butterflies, bow knots, cupids.
baskets of flowers, and the eagle and
~violets in tho L'Aiglon stocking.
Many women like to match tEe!r
gowns in their stockings, and there are
tans and grays and blues. Blues al
ways are in demand. for blue 10 a
popular color; it comes nearly up to
the black stocking, which is the most
satisfactory in the long run Red
stockings are sold to go with red shoes
for house wear, and there are beauti-
full white stockings, which are sold to
the bride and to wear with white
shoes.

rur or MI PLAYERS.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer:
The leaders Of the Base Ball Protective
Association may find it hard work to
keep their people in line and prev mt
breaks in their ranks. Two things they
will have to guard against, viz: the
circulation Of false reports sent out
from here and there TO the effect that
this or that man had signed with his
old club, and the paying of big money
to a few star players to sign for the
purpose OF causing distrust and dis
satisfaction and causing a stampede.
The players may depend upon their
opponents resorting to these tactics
circulating false reports and Offering
big money to a few stars to "fop'--the
same tactics which were successfully
employed eleven years ago to break up
the Brotherhood. II the players are
alert and stick together they can win
out, notwithstanding that they were
turned down at the December meeting
in New York. when everyone of their
demands in their bill Of grievances
was refused.
