THE MEXICAN EDITOR.
I, l. Very Easy For IIim 10 Get Into
Serious Trouble.

SERIOUS Aruuhles
The newspaper laws OF Mexico are
very stringent. II any person is men-
toned in a newspaper article and feels
offended about It, he can easily send
the editor Of the paper and the writer
Of the article TO prison. The state
ments may have been far within the
limits Of truth and justice, but that
makes no difference The editor in
communicate has a chance 10 think
about the law. and the aggrieved per-
son smiles pleasantly. After awhile
the law gets in its work. the case is in
vestigated. and the editor Is punished.
for even the truth is libelous, and libel
is one Of the ofrenses most severely
condemned.
According 10 the theory of the MeXi-
can law, every person has a right to go
about entirely free from annoyance by
other persons. II the person violates
the law, the newspaper has no right to
say so. 1t can lay information before
the courts if ii wants to, but it must
not say in its columns that it has done
so. Then the law viii step in and take
charge Of the offender but the repre-
sentatives Of the paper will not be al
lowed TO attend the trial. and only the
bare result. after weeks Of waiting,
can be told 10 the public.
II the offense charged against the ed
itor IS regarded by the first magistrate
to whom the complaint is made as be
ing especially grave, the paper is gen
orally suppressed. The complaint has
been received and passed upon. Then
8 squad q police descendS upon the
printing Office. Sometimes all the en-
plOyocs are arrested. sometimes only
the editor. Then the doors Of the
building ere closed. official seals are
placed upon them. and a guard is sta
toned 10 see that no one tries to en-
ter For three days the editor can do
nothing. The laws under which he Is
arrested are modelled after those OF the
code Napoleon. and for three days he
IS held incommunicado. while the au.
thorities hunt UP evidence. Then he
IS given n hearing. In the meantime
his paper has been suppressed, and in
many cases it never comes TO life again.
even though the editor may eventually
clear himself Of all blame Pittsburg

THE SUCKER FISH.
Eow These strnngc Creatures Attach
Themselves TO Larger Fish.

People Of certain temperament some
times attain their wishes by hanging 70
the skirts Of persons Of larger capacity.
In the fish world these find their coun-
terpart in the rcmOra family Cthe suck
ersi, which Is represented on the Atlantic
coast 10y five species. In these fishes the
first dorsal fin. O., the in ON the back
nearest the hcad-is transformed for all
practical purposes into a sucking organ.
by means Of which they can attach them
selves very firmly 10 the gin covers or
sides Of larger fish Thus there are the
shark sucker the swOrlGsh sucker, the
billfsh sucker, etc. Being excellent
swimmers. it is difficult 10 sec why they
prefer TO go through life rs an appcndagc
and burden 10 others, but II is well
known that they travel with sharks con-
tinuousy IN this manner. and their hosts
have actually been found cmaciatcd and
exhausted from carrying about their un-
invited guests.
An eminent observer Of fishes has
thought it very probable that the object
Of the suckers is TO share the fragments
Of food with their hosts, but whatever
the cause the latter are surely entitled 20

this very propensity for hanging on has
rccoiled on the sucker much 10 his disad
vantage. for as soon rs man discovered
this pccuiarity he cudgelcd bis brain for
some practical application which would
rebound 10 his own advantage, and. be-
ing himself perhaps n hanger on to
other people. some resourcpful individual
conceived the idea Of using this fish as a
bait and make him do the catching. In
Ogilby's "Amcrica" occurs the following
description OF how the Indians Of long
ago used thcsc fishes to and in the cap
turc Of others:
columbus from hence proceeding on

A RUSTY KEY.
IL Cleared Up n Forgotten Murder
and Hanged the Murderer

Small things sometimes tell big tales
and unrayel mysteries Of long standing"
said an Old detective who has seen long
service IN running down criminals in va
riOus parts Of the country. THE most
singular ease that ever fell under my care
was n case in which n white man had
been murdered in some mysterious way,
and the body was put away and all ef
forts to locate il were out Of the ques-
ton. Suspicion Icll on a negro, and he
was arrested. but subsequently was re-
.cascd because Of the absence Of proof TO
connect him with the crime The body
was missing, and il was certain that the
man had been murdered and robbed by
tome person familiar with the surround
ings. The negro had worked for him,
lut had been discharged because Of i'm
pudcnce.
''Tcn years lapsed. All interest in the
crime had died out. One day some negro
blackberry pickcrs came across key
which hung on the limb Of n bush. Be
cause Of the growth Of the bush the han
de Of the key was partially buried in
the limb. Right under the bush the ne
grOcs found the blcached aud dccaying
bones Of human form. When the mat
ter was reported, | was sent out TO in
vcstigate the matter. and / gathered up
the bones, cut the bush down and took
everything 10 the police station. We
went back over the list Of missing men.
There was a captain connected with
the department who possessed n wonder
ful memory, and he turned all Of his at
tention to the rusty key, which was still
IN the limb Of the bush. ought to state
here that the negro had remained in the
community and had by his industry
bought a few acres Of land on which
stood the house which had figured in the
mysterious disappearance ten years be
fore. Gut that key out for me- said the
captain, AID II was cut out lie had
consultation with the chief and, without
telling me where he was going, asked me
10 20 with him.
1--WE Travelled about four miles and
drove MP to n little house late in the
evening. There was nobody nc home. i
guess we might n well 90 in the captain
said. and, pulling the key from his p0ck-
ct, he showed it into the lock. turned 1t
and opened the door. We waited for the
negro after locking the door again. but
he never returned. The house was
watched all night, but the negro never
came. We grew suspicious and soon
learned that he had fled upon hearing Of
the discovery in the bricr patch. Flight
strengthened the evidence Of his guilt
He was arrested in n neighboring state,
returned. tried and convicted and finally
executed.
The key which solved the mystery had
got caught in a twig that sprung mp in
the bricr patch aud but for this fact the
mystery would have never been solved"

Crystal gazing is still popular, but
the very latest thing in use is black
mirror, in which the sibyls say they
can see many things. These little
black mirrors come from India, where
a spot Of Ink has always been a favor

boy who has the second sight is told
to look ixedly at Il spot Of ink, which
is poured into his hand. The black
mirror is said to be every bit as good

new CASTLE DROPS OUT
OF INDUSTRIAL WORLD
LEAFS Mills Being DiSmaHtlcd Which
Leaves Knowles Knitting
Mill Alone

At present New Castle is but a city
of dwellings, for OF all the industries
which have been located there. only
one now is in operation. This lonely
plant is the Knowles knitting mill,
which employs about $50 hands. The
town has a population of about $500,
and most of the working people have
to find employment in Wilmington,
Chester and Philadelphia.
About two years ago the big plant Of
the National Tube Company, the New
Castle shirt factory, the Triton cotton
mills. the Knowles knitting mills and
Lea's flour mills were in operation,
and New Castle was a prosperous and
busy little town. Since then the tube
works. shirt factory and cotton mills
have gone out of business. The Lea
mill now has discontinued and the ma
chinery is being removed to Whining
ton. This leaves but the Knowles mill
in operation. AS fast ag the mills have
closed. the employees have found work
lin other cities. but continue to reside
i'm New Castle because rents are cheap.
The fact that the season has been a
fairly prosperous one for several fish
|ermen is a blessing to the city.

Inmates Of Huntingdon Reformatory
Made Attempt to Regain Liberty.
Huntingdon, Pa. June 5.-The Hunt
ingdon Reformatory was the scene on
Tuesday night OF another desperate at
tempt among the inmates to regain
their liberty. Shortly after midnight
Robert Black, of Fayette county, and
Clyde Walker, of Westmoreland coun-
ty, attacked Electrician A. H. Isen-
ring in the dynamo house, and after
binding him hand and foot carried him
into sub-cell They secured his keys
and made a dash for the main en-
trance. Here they met Henry Stew
ers, guard, whom they assaulted with
a lead pipe, severely injuring him. The
wild running of the unattended engine
and dynamos spurred Isenberg to make
a desperate effort to free himself from
his bonds, which he finally succeeded
in doing. A general alarm was sound
ed and the two desperate revolters
were overpowered before regaining
their liberty. They are now in the
dungeon.
