Prisoner Enjoys Brief Freedom.

Thomas ]. Clark, an inmate of Branch
County Jail No. 2, escaped from that in
stitution yesterday afternoon while at
work with a road gang, but his period of
freedom was brief. as he was taken into
custody last night in an Eighth-street
saloon by Deputy Sheriff Hollingsworth.
Clark was committed to the County Jail
on September for four months on a
charge of battery. Yesterday afternoon
while at work with several other prison
ers on the road he suddenly made a break
and disappeared in the brush. Last night
while lettering in a saloon on Eighth
street in a drunken condition he boasted
of his exploit. Deputy Hollingsworth,

MINORITY MAKES DEMANDS.
Harmony and the Democrats Still
Seem Separated.


Another conference between the minor
ity and the majority of the Democratic
Municipal Convention will be necessary
before harmony can be established in the
party. This was found necessary last
evening, when the minority held its meet
ing in the California Hotel. There was
goodly attendance Of delegates and the
discussion was animated. Joseph E
O'Donneu presided and the session was
an executive one. Every one who was not
a delegate was barred, excepting James
H. O'Brien, one Of the leaders in the bat
tie against McNab. who was allowed to
listen to the speeches, but took no part
Charles Wesley Reed. Eddie Graney and
a few more Democrats who are deeply in
terested in the conflict among the Bour-
bons were forced to cool their heels in
the corridors.
Before the delegates went into session
the chairmen of the various delegations
I met in a side room and decided that ii
was their duty to pass the entire matter
up to the members of the minority.
When the delegates were called to order
the discussion began. The minority is
willing to compromise, if it gets what it
asks for. 1t is willing to make the non1i-
nation Of Franklin X. Lane unanimous
and in fact every other office on the ticket
also, If the minority is given its lust rem
resentation on the County Committee.
Under the order of business adopted bv
the minority a week ago forty members
at large of the County Committee were
to be appointed by Chairman Thomas W
Hickey. The minority wants something
to say about the reorganization of the
party and it demands that 1t be given its
proportion of members. If its demand is
granted. and it is understood that Nc
Nab is willing to give in for the sake of
harmony and to prevent Lane from 10
clining to head the Democratic ticket. the
minority will have at least twenty mem
bers at large on the committee. The
minority further asks that it be given it's
percentage of the new Supervisors to he
nominated by the convention. This would
mean three for the Horses and Carts
The minority also asks for County Clerk.

OLD JEWELRY IN FASHION.

Lusky the Girl Whose Mother Has Kept
 the Ornaments of Long Ago.
 The revival of old-fashioned jewelry is so great as to make women mourn for any heirlooms that they have ever parted with A heart-shaped pendant of Whitby jet. bought the other day by Mrs. H. o. Stone, Jr., is the fac-simile of those worn thirty years ago, and an im- porter of this kind of jewelry says that 1t is one of the standard shapes in jet, of which there are few. on account of the difficulties of working the material. As he says they have been making them in Whitby ever since the Romans first visited England and send them home for earrings. It is pretty certain that nothing in a iewelry box is too old fashioned to come back again.
 The cross is also jet perennial. and crosses of all kinds become fashionable every time there is jet epoch.
 Whether it was the black beads or the popularity of ecclesiastical things that started the fashion lately, it is certain that they have been supplied in most cases from the old jewel box. There are hardly any to be found now in the jewelry stores except the little ones of plain gold and silver which are always given as confirmation presents. For onces, instead of setting the fashion in such things, the jeweller seems to have been taken unawares, and is only re- gretting that he cannot suply the de- mand, which has had new impetus since "Du Barry and the cross worn by Mrs. Carter.
 Of late the ecclesiastical have been encroached upon. and that of the bishop himself has been approached for secu- lar dangler At the church stores even rosaries and crucitixes, in materials which under the circumstances might be described as gorgeous. have been bought for purely decorative purposes.
 A large enamel key is shown as a pendant for a new stock of crosses, which are of noticeably large size, some of enamel being as much as four inches long. Every conceivable material is used-gun metal. colored rhinestones, jet and amethysts, which are always popular in cross designs on account of their appropriate color. Maltese cross es are seen and old-fashioned ones of ivory and carved wood. Silver filigree is one of the revivals, and another is on sale of old-fashioned onyx set with pearls, which is kind of jewelry last in vogue during the centennial
 Another thing highly valued Just now is the yellow topaz in it's original pale gold setting. A large, smookly topaz which has had no raison detre for many years, has suddenly made it's possessor g. subject of envy by being hung on chain of gun metal and crys- tals. And some coral roses of fifty years ago have made the clasp and pen- dant for S chain of coral beads. A pair of earrings in the shape of hoops in turquoise blue enamel, set with pearls, have been made over into beautiful lace pins, and the old-fashioned gold tassels are being eagerly hunted out as pen dants for the fine gold chain.-Chicago Tribune. ,''t
