EXIT TRACY.

Harry Tracy, the convict and outlaw, who has furnished material enough for several dime novels and at least one melodrama, has ended his excited and exciting career by shooting himself to avoid being captured or killed by pur- suers who had wounded him. It is high time he was dead. His latter days have been wild and deadly. He escaped from the Oregon State penitentiary at Salem on June in company with David Merrill, after killing four men, Frank w. Terrell, G. R. T. Jones, and B. F. Tiffany, guards, and Frank 1ngraham, a convict who tried to prevent his flight. On June 2S he killed Merrill near Napa- vine, Washington, shooting him from behind, and leaving his body in the for est, where 1t was found on July 15. On July 3 near Seattle, in fight with a posse, he shot and killed Charles Ray mond, a deputy sheriff. E. E. Bresse, policeman, and mortally wounded Neil Rawley, who died on the following day, and wounded Carl Anderson and Louis zafrite. newspaper reporters. Say nothing but good of the dead doesn't apply in Tracy's case. The 1 world is well rid of such a murderous villain.

Minnesota has awakened to the im- portance of preventing forest and prairie fires, and the authorities have determined on vigorous enforcement of the protective laws. These laws are quite stringent. The penalty for malic- iously setting fire is $500 and impris- onment in the penitentiary for not more than ten years; and for setting a fire carelessly the penalty may be $1G0 fine and three months Imprisonment. The same penalty is provided against per- sons who refuse, without good cause, to assist the fire wardens fin extinguishing fires; against fire wardens who neglect their duties; against persons who use other than incombustable wads for fire arms, or who carry a naked torch or other exposed light dangerously near to forest land; also against railroad com- panies that willfully neglect to provide spark arrssters on their engines, or to keep the right-of-way to the width of one hundred feet cleared of combusti- ble material. Owners of thrashing or other portable steam engines who neg Iect to have efficient spark arresters or who deposit live coals or hot ashes with out extinguishing the same, are liable to fines of from $5 to $50.

An English artist was summoned into court the other day for allowing a roos- ter to crow in the morning to the an- noyance of his neighbors. The case was amicably settled. A London news paper thereupon printed the following: .'It is quite possible to keep fowls and prevent them from growing. All that is needed Is slight string over the neck and fastened to a foot, It is the habit of chanticleer to throw back his head when growing, and he will not crow if prevented, as he may be, by the string from doing so. The contrivance has the great merit of infiicting no pain whatever. The bird scarcely knows of the pressure of the string till he tries to crow, and harmless jerk brings him to order.'
