They ApoiOEiZed for Disturbing Typhoid
Fever Patient.
Bayonne, n j., Feb. 6. Two polite
and considerable burglars paid an early
visit to the home of Julius G. Hocke,
at $50 Avenue G. yesterday. Mr.. locke
is a civil engineer and lives in IL hand
some house in Il fashionable part of the
city. He has been i'll with typhoid
fever and has been under the care Of a
nurse for some time past.
At 2.30 O'Clock yesterday morning he
was lying awake in his bed while the
nurse, Annie Moore, was asleep in an
adjoining room. Suddenly Mr. Hocke
heard the noise of breaking gla.s in
the rear Of the house. Shortly after
ward he heard steps bn the stairs. Then
there was knock on his bedroom door.
Mr.. Hocke said Come in. y the door
was opened and two men entered. Both
had their faces partly covered with
handkerchiefs and both wore black
derby hats. They approached the bed,
and one of them, addressing Mr. Hocke,
said:
eve have come here to get money.
We are in great need of it, and we
must have it. All we want is $40. We
dom want to hurt anybody. and il you
will give us the $40 we will go away
quietly.
While the man was making this
speech the other burglar went to the
door of the room in which the nurse
was asleep. When he saw Miss Moore
ne woke her up and brought her into
| Mr.. Hocke's room. Then Mr.. Hocke
| told her to go to his wife's room and
| arouse her. This the nurse did, and
Mrs. Hocke hastily, dressed and went
! to her husbands room.
Mr.. Hocke explained the situation
to her and told her to give the burglars
what they wanted. Mrs. Hocke weni
to her room and got her purse, in which
there was S22. Returning, she gave
| the money to the burglars.
Then the man who had previously
| spoken thanked Mr.. Hocle, and ex,
| pressed regret that he and his 'ral'
had been compelled TO disturb him.
He said that he was sorry that MIR
Hocke was so i'll, and hoped that ht
would soon recover. The intruders ther

DEATH SENTENCE PASSED
The Sultan'S Latest Action Concerning
His BrOther-ln.laW, lamai Mahmud,
CONDEMNED MAN is A REFUGEE
Has Fled With His Sons to the
French Capital.
PREDICTS THE DOWNFALL OF TURKEY

Constantinople, Turkey, Feb. Feb. 6.
The Sultan's brother-in. law, Damad
Mahmud Pasha, has been sentenced to
death.
Mahmud has long been prominent in
the Young Turk movement. and was
recently expelled from Greece at the
behest of the Sultan. He went to
Rome, and The Sultan requested his
expulsion from Italy. 1t was refused,
but Mahmud proceeded to Paris, where
he remains in safety. All the Sultan S
Establishments failed to induce him
to return to Constantinople, SO the
criminal court was instructed to issue
a warrant for Mammals arrest and TO
try the fugitive by default, with the
result that he was condemned TO death.
An Associated Press dispatch from
Constantinople, dated December 18TH
1892, announced that the flight of the
Sultan's brother in law, Damad Nah
mud Pasha during the previous week,
with his wife's jewels and all the
money he could collect, had caused a
great sensation there. He was accom-
panied by his two sons, Princes Sa-
biggedit and IIuthfalla.
1t Was ascertained that Mahmud had
sailed for Marseilles, and the Turkish
government telegraphed to the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, NJ Del
casse, asking for the arrest Of the fugi.
tive on his arrival at Marseilles and
his return to Constantnople, on the
charge that he was implicated IN a plot
to assassinate the Sultan. This accuse.
| ton, however, was generally discredited,
and it was believed the refugee was
| the victim of an intrigue.
A later dispatch from Constantinople
said that Mahmud, who intended tt
stay in Paris fer time, declared that
the charge that he had appropriated
money and accepted brihes was 4
calumny, and that he was being per
secuted by political intriguers. Mahmuc
announced that he intended to go tt
London, and that when he reached tina
city he would publish an open lettel
exposing the methods and policies o
Sultan Abdul Hamid and also 1
broshure entitled Turkeys coming

Warden A. s. Messerve says Prisoners Are
Not Treated Cruelty.

Warden A. S. Meserve of the work
house enters denial to the report of
cruelty circulated by one or more per-
sons who recently left the workhouse.
Prisoners are punished for infractions

Of the rules is required. Mr.. Meserve

history of the institution.
He says there are various forms of
punishment at the workhouse, one of
which is to manacle the prisoner to
the door of his cell and compel him to
remain in that position. The wrists
are fastened to the iron bars about five
feet above the floor, the prisoner being
BILE to stand squarely on his feet. The

Keeping the Teeth in Good Condition.

Use n brush with bristles which are
neither too stiff nor too soft, and brush
the teeth on all sides.
The teeth should be examined at
least twice year by IA competent den
!ist. They should be washed with luke
warm water before breakfast, after each
meal and before retiring.
An extremely important item in the
care of the teeth is the use of dental
floss always after eating. This, together
with soft orange wood toothpick,
will remove every particle of food from
the teeth.
There arc so many excellent denti
frices that it is hard to decide which
one is best. rrccipitated chalk is
always good, and may be rubbed about
the gums after eating anything acid
and also before retiring.
Avoid exposing the teeth to extreme
of temperature. Very hot and very
cold substances have tendency to
crack the enamel. Never use metal
instrument OF any kind in the mouth,
and neither bite thread nor crack nuts
with them. Ladies' Home journal.

Extra" is an abused word. People

"cheap. But extra" has no such
force. So far from intensifying given

that the thing so described lies outside
the sphere or quality named. Thus,
extra judicial" does not mean more
than ordinarily judicial. as though a
judge had drcdged his conscience in
giving an opinion, but outside of
judicial and therefore incapable Of
being judged at all in the prescribed
way.
A grievous fault is the use Of

himself with another man or set Of

here the word carries a shade of
