attract MS attention until the locomotives
were almost abreast. Then the man on the
passenger engine saw the other engine
squirt ahead. In the next half minute he
saw that the coal train had parted and the
engine with its tender and two cars behind
was rushing on and opening up a wide gap
between il and the detached cars.

glneer on one track encounters wild

CHICAGO CITY EMPLOYEES
To Wear Uniforms in Order to Get
Better Service.
Chicago Journal.

chicago JOURNAL.
Heaviiy-braided uniforms may distin-
guish city employees whose work takes them
away from the City Hail. Mayor Harrison
to-day outlined such a plan, and said that
he believed it would have a tendency to
raise the standard of service and would
protect citizens from impostors. City Con-
troller McGann added his approval to the
mayors plan, as did the other heads Of The
departments. There was a murmur from
some of the employees who would be af-
fected by the adoption of such system by
the city.
For some time have been thinking that
city employees whose work takes them
among the people should have some distin-
gushing mark" said Mayor Harrison. "A
cap bearing a number might do, but an
entire uniform would be better. Employees
in the ranks of the sidewaK inspectors,
sanitary inspectors. building inspectors.
water meter inspectors. boiler and engine
inspectors, ward superintendent and va-i-
Gus other departments should adopt the
system. 1t would be for the protection of
citizens as we'll as the city employees them
selves
IF city employees were in uniforms they
would possibly perform duties better. AT
least If they were playing horse races, at
tending baseball games or doing something
other than their duty, their uniforms would
proclaim the fact to citizens.

Do you seek the road to Fairyland?
I'll tell; it's easy. quite
Wait till yellow moon gets up
Ger purple seas by night.
And gilds a shining pathway
That is sparkling diamond bright.
Then. If no evil power be nigh
To thwart you out of spite,
And If you know the very words
To cast a spell of night,
You get upon a thistledown,
And. IL the breeze is right
You sail away 70 Fairyland
Along this track of light.

RED SHIRT
GORDON NOW
IN CUSTODY
Convict Is Captured by
an Officer in
Texas.
Desperate Leader Of ConVicts
Is Run Down in Lone
Star State.
Special Dispatch to The Cali.

FOLSOM, Sept. 16.-A telegram was just
received by Warden Wilkinson from W.
r. Mathis. an officer in Jacksonville, Tex,
conveying the information that he had in
custody convict 474S, Richard NJ. Gordon,
one Of the men who escaped in the Jail
delivery Of July q, and asking the
amount Of the reward. There can be no
question but that the Texas officer has the
right man, but how he was captured is a
mystery, as there are no particulars at
hand.
Red Shirt Gordon was considered TO
be the shrewdest and most desperate of
the fugitive cOnvicts and the authorities
had but very little hope of ever recaptur-
ing him. After the convicts had sue
ceeded in their break and had got beyond
the prison grounds. Gordon realizing tina L
he would stand a better chance of escap-
Ing II alone. suddenly dropped away from
the crowd and was not missed for quite
a while, The other convicts were very
much incensed at Gordon for his doing as
ne ola and swpre vengeance on him if
any OF them ever CHANGED to meet him
Hls presence in Texas shows the mans
resourcefulness In getting far away from
the scene Of the prison break and the
subsequent man hunt
