in Chicago. In further explanation of

have testified before it. My brother is
not vindictive, and, although these
men have proved themselves his bit
ter enemies, he does not want to assist

Sioux Falls, s. D.. April 22.-Scme
United States prisoners who are in
the county jail here awaiting trial or
sentence made a novel attempt to
break Jail, which was frustrated by
the presence of mind of Deputy Sheriff
Crooks. Charles Marshayf is Mex
icaa gambler, who makes his head
quarters at Geddes. and who was con-
victed in the United States court a
few days ago of selling liquor to In
dians. and is awaiting sentence. He
attempted to throw handful Of red
pepper into Deputy Sheriff Crooks
face and eyes while that officer had
the cell door open. Crooks, however.
had been suspicious of the Mexican,
and shut his eyes in time to prevent
being blinded by the pepper. With
rare presence of mind, while his eyes
were still closed and after desperate
struggle with the prisoner, he swung
the cell door shut, thus frustrating
what was without doubt a carefully
planned jail delivery.

JOINS HER LEPRoUs SPOUSE,

From Honolulu comes the story Of

be sent to exile on Molokai island with
her leprous husband. She was a

daughter of chief, and her intimate

of Kalakaua. She married Lui Hula.

a preparation that when rubbed o.,
the skin for several weeks made il

to Molokai. The doctors suspected
her, as her face showed no traces OF

admitted her deceit.

NAVY OF HAYTr.'
hides Itself When War IL Threat.
ened with the Republic Of
San Domingo.

Americans returning from Cuba re-
late an incident which occurred when
hostilities were recently threatened
between Hayti and San Domingo.
Each of these small governments
owned dininutive navy, made up Of
what is generally known as a mos
quito fleet, of two or three vessels
each. When the trouble between the
two governments reached the most
critical point the officers and men OF
Hayti's navy suddenly decided that the
climate about the coasts of their ma
tive country was extremely unhealthy
and an almost unanimous opinion pre-.
vailed among the officers Of the fleet
that a change Of climate was absolute
ly necessary.
Perhaps the fear of being sunk or
captured by the San DOMINICAN navy
had considerable to do with the de-.
sire of the Haytian officers for a
change. At any rate, without much
ceremony, and in the absence of or
ders from superior officers, they left
the Haytian coast and sought refuge
in the harbor at Santiago, Cuba.
The mosquito fleet of Hayti re.
manned in this port for more than two
weeks. 1t did not venture out, as the
officers feared that a San Domingo
vessel might be in the vicinity. Every
one in the vicinity of Santiago knew
the reason for the presence of the
mosquito fleet, and made considerable
fun out of the lack of courage OF the
officers of Hayti. When the trouble
blew over the fleet returned to it's ma.
tive shores, where the officers will
probably be ordered before a court
martial charged with cowardice.

MUST INSURE WORKERS.
New Law In Holland Which Requires
Employer to Provide for
WOrkmen II Injured.

Minister Newell has forwarded to
the state department a translation of
the novel law just adopted in Holland
which requires employers in certain
branches of labor to insure their em-
ployes against pecuniary losses which
are result of accidents happening to
them in the course of their daily la
Dor. The law Classics 81 trades
where the insurance feature applies,
end establishes an institution known
us the State Insurance bank.
This bank notifies the employer Of
the class in which he is placed, and he
is required to make sworn reports OF
oil accidents at his place.
The State Insurance bank provides
medical and pecuniary assistance to
any employee who, in the exercise of
his calling, shall be accidentally in.
jured in such way that he is no
longer partially or entirely capable OF
doing his ordinary work. in case of
death funeral expenses are to be paid,
and these indemnities extend in fxe1
proportion to all the relatives of the
employee dependent upon him for sup
port.
The capital for this paternal insur'
ance society is furnished by assess.
ments on employers, graded according
to the class of work and the number
of their workmen. The law has re-
ceived the approval of the queen, and
great interest is manifested in this
experiment. in the way of paying met
wages and insuring them against &C
c,dents for which they were not re.
sponsible.
