TRUANT LONG IN JAIL.
Boy Comes Out of Prison a Stranger t
the World,

~
New York, Oct 26.-After spending nine
years In the house of refuge at the Ell
mira reformatory and at Sing Sing prison,
apparently for a. mere violation OF rules,
James Daley, 90 years old, spent yester-
day learning things city boys Of half his
age know already. Daley came here
from prison to the boys refuge.
According to his own account Daley
up to 1884 lived with his family in this
city. His father sent him to school and
because he often played truant arranged
to lave him sent to the house of refuge
as an incorrigible. In his two years there
the boys family visited him only twice.
One night he joined a bread throwing fight
in the dining room. For this he was trans
ferred to the Elmira reformatory. lie new
er heard from his family after that.
After three years at l2lmira he got into
a quarrel with one of the guards, who
caught him chewing tobacco. Instead Of
reporting him the guard tried TO make
him stop by choking him. The lad re-
taliated with a blow, and soon after was
transferred to Sing Sing on a three and a
half year sentence. He got out Wednes-
day.
The boy is so timid that he dares not
walk about the streets alone and he Is
afraid of electric cars and elevators. He
says he has read of these things, but
never has been able TO form a correct
idea of them,

Than this year. There is a cut Of

KILL THE
New York Preacher Would Put Then,
Pain!essIy Out of the World

New York, Oct. 24.-Rev. Marie ST. C..
Wright of the LenoX Avenue Unitarian
church, started the guests at the annual
banquet of the New York State Medical
association last night by advocating ell
thanasia, or the putting of incurables to
an easy death.
Mr.. Wright said:
i appreciate the practical difficulties in
me way of the application of the doc
Urine, but it seems to me that it is not he
yond the bounds of possibility. Of course.
IT would be necessary to have the advice
and approval of men of the highest scien-
liflc attainment. The city might be d.
Vlded lnto districts, and every application
Should be considered most carefullv nor
merely by physicians but by some ami.
neht clersymen selected for the purnose
ana OF course, there should be the con.
sent of relatives and the consent evan
ara request of the patient himself,
but where all those conditions are fu1-
Iiieu ana where the prolongation of life il
imply the prolongation of honeless
sony, 1t seems to me that it wonld ha
proper that such a patient should ouietlv
decently, modestly be allowed to nnd tba
su1erlngs. 1t seems to me that such a
course would be a step fartherin civi,i,a'
tlon and a step farther awav from ban
barism." oi JAR

CURED HIM.
Voice Lost Through Lightning Returns
With Weed Chewing.

indianapolis, Ind, Oct. Pc. NJ. Wolf,
who lives near Ridgeville and has been
dumb for more than two years, is now
able to carry on a conversation as a re-
suit of chewing tobacco for several hours.
Two years ago last June Wolf was
struck by lightning while sitting in the
door of his farm house. From that time
until last Sunday he had not been able to
utter Il sound. Some of the best special
lists in the state are said to have been
consulted and to have passed the opinion
that Wolf was afflicted with permanent
paralysis of the vocal organs.
Wolf reports that he dreamed last Sat
urday night that If he took a chew of
tobacco he would be able to speak again.
y few hours after he had taken the to-
bacco Sunday he was able to make slight
vocal sounds. He continued chewing and
he was soon able to talk.

Topeka, Oct. 27.-Robcrt Forbes, who
lives near overlook, in Usage county,
was swindled out Of 5000 here two weeks
ago by a stranger who told him the story
OF a rich mine In New Mexico. The
stranger appeared at Forbes home about
n month ago and spoke Of the mine he
had found. He said that It was near a
mine owned there by Forbes. He said he
had no money to develop the property and
offered a share in the mine to Forbes If
the latter would furnish the necessary
money. Forbes demurred, but offered to
lend the strange the money. He offered
the stranger a check for 81, 1000, but the
latter asked that the paper be converted
into cash. The two came here to get the
cash.
The transer Shove to Forbes what
purported to be gold he had taken from
the mine. Forbes did not examine the
brick carefully, but said he was willing to
advance the money. The stranger there
upon disappeared with the cash. Later it
dawned on Forbes that he had been swim

officers about his loss. He told n few
of his friends that he was the victim of
misplaced confidence. Forbes once sold
one mine for $3.50 and invested thT

Takes Away independence.
C~onstantinople, Oct. 27.-The scheme
of the powers for amelioration of af-
fairs in Macedonia was submitted to
the porte yesterday. 1t has for its
guiding principle the control and sur
v%eillance' of all branches of administra-
ton of the disturbed provinces by Aus
tria and Russia.
The proposals include the appoint
ment of one Austrian and one Russian
assessor, to be attached to the staff of
Hilmi-Pasha, the inspector general,
with a corps of assistants, secretaries
and interpreters, whose duties will be
to control all acts of the provincial
authorities. An European general in
the Turkish service is to be appointed
to command the gendarmerie. He will
be assisted by an adequate umb of
Russian and Austrian officers ac-
quainted with the language of the
country, and If necessary by Austrian
GERS.
Important proposals which will be
opposed by the sultan provide for the
establishment of communal autonomy
and rectification of the present COM
munal boundaries, with u view to bet
ter distribution of the various COM
munities, II creation of spheres of
Bulgariuns, SerVians, etc, that shall
be more homogeneous in nationality
and religion. Other points in the
scheme deal With the relief of refugees,
the rebuilding of villages, schools and
churches, the disarmament of irregular
troops, and the prohibition of employ
ment Of Bashi-Bazouks. Opposition to
the whole scheme is expressed on the
part of the porte, but the Austrian and
Russian ambassadors uemand it's
adoption with the least possible delay.

There was Il wild scramble for the boy
by no less than six men, hailing from
widely distant parts of the United States,
and each Of whom recognized the name as

Percy Smythe, a Toronto clothing mer-
chant, made so much haste that he
slipped on the tiled floor and with a rue
ful face limped to a chair. He had twisted
his ankle. At the same time Henry c..
Schmidt of Philadelphia was disentangling
himself from 81 bronze statue Of st, George

rotunda, where he had been hurled by

form of the page, who had fallen over the
Toronto clothing man. Nor was this all.

had been talking With Secretary Rush,
