PRISONERS MIKE ESCAPR.

New York, Nov 2S Two pris-
oners, James Cunning and John
Doyle, escaped from Governor S
Island last night by Jumping from the
parapet Of Castle William to the
ground, thirty feet below. The men
made their way unobserved to the
water front, where they swan to a
small doIy anchored near shore, in
which they rowed out into the bay.
They hailed a ferry boat which picked
them up and, believing them to be
shipwrecked sailors, landed them in
Brooklyn, where further trace was
lost Cunning and Doyle were trans
ferred to Governors island about eight
months ago from Western posts, from
which they had deserted. On being
captured they were court martialled
and both received sentences of one and
one half years.

AUTOISTS' COMPLIANT.
President of Club Saws Horses Exceed
Time Limit. Golden Rule.

New York, Nov. 25. Winthrop E.
Scarrltt, the retiring president of the
Automobile Club of America, in his
annual report declared that because
of the many unjust arrests of auto
mobiIists in Central Park the govern
ors had employed expert timers for
fourteen days at various hours of the
day to time horse drawn vehicles. and
that as "a result of their inve stigations
it was found that every one of the 437
vehicles timed was travelling in eX-
cess of the legal speed limit. The
highest rate of speed was 22.5 miles an
hour and the average % miles an
hour. In the same period 106 automo-
biles were timed ana it was found
that their average speed was Ii. 60
miles an hour. The horse drawn We
blcles were exceeding the speed limit
by more than 90 per cent. No arrests
of the drivers of the latter were made.
Arrests of automobiles were of daily
occurrence.
M L. llblN biiab III OhO nOdlN
declare that the horsemen were dTiv-
ing at reckless rate. Therefore,
when it was considered that at this
rate of speed motor car was under
much more perfect control than a
team of horses, and that it could be
stopped in one-third the distance, it
seemed absurd to limit all motor cars
to a speed less than was admittedly
safe for a horse drawn vehicle. AS a
final word to those present, he said :
Il wish that [ might impress on you,
and through you upon automobllists
everywhere, that the perfect key to
the solution of the difficulties and
differences which unhappily exist be-
tween us and the great public is to be
found in the spirit of the golden rule.
Do unto other users of the highway
as you would that they should do unto
you. {"

HUMAN BONES no UND.
Interest in Fox Sisters
Renewed.

The New York Times prints the fol-
lowing story of a recent find in the
residence occupied by the Fox sisters
in l8i8, the year that witnessed the
birth of modern spiritdallsm
In the cellar of the little house located
on the farm of W. H. Hyde. in the
hamlet of hydesville, one mile north
of the village of Newark where tie
Fox sisters resided in 184S, human
bones have been found. They are be-
lieged to be the bones of Charles
RosDa, who, according to the sworn
statement made by Margaret Fox, was
the man whose spirit made the rap
pings, and who communicated to her
by system of rsppings the story of
his murder in the house by man
named Beck, and the burial of his
BODY in the cellar of the house.
Time and again the cellar of this
house had been dug up IN search for
the bones, which " ere the missing link
in the Fox sisters story. Why they
were not found before is now made
clear.
On Sunday children playing in the
cellar found few bones and took
them to W. H. hyde, son of Artemus
Hyde, who rented the house to the
Fox family in l847 Hyde thought they
we're human bones, and made an in
vestigation. He began digging, and
found out something they did not
know before-that the house had two
separate foundations The outer walls
are complete in themselves and support
the house, the frame extending over on
all sides, and the surface being filed
| in with earth up Co the framework.
Two feet inside of this foundation are
the second walls, the space having
been filed in with earth The inhabi-
tants of Hydesville thought that inter
est in the rappings had died with the
Fox sisters, but with the find of Sun.

already begun an agitation of their

THE PRESIDENTS PLAN
To Gall Extra Session of Congress.
Desires Tariff Commission.

Washington, Nov. %. The Presi-
dent is planning to call Congress in
extra session next September, to revise
the tariff schedule. 1t is not known
whether he will make "A formal an
nouucement OF his intentions, or
merely let the congress onal leaders
know his desire through White House
conferences to he held some time in
December and January.
A tariff commission has been for
some time one of the Presidents pet
projects. Something over two years
ago it required all the persuasive
powers OF the Republican leaders to
prevent the President from trying to
bring Congress to grant him authority
to APPOINT such q body to consider tar
fl matters. Senator Platt of Con-
necticut presented the same argu-
ents few days ago to the President,
which prevailed when the Presiden5
was pushing the scheme before. He
told tie President that il would be
much better to let Congress handle
the matter through it's regular stand
ing committees
On the whole the opinion is grow
ing in Washington that the tariff re-
vision movement among Republicans
is being generally viewed by a mag
nifying glass, The ultra protection
lists appear to be satisfied with the
situation, while those favoring re-
vision" also appear TO be pleased.
The concensus of opinion, therefore,
is that whatever action is taken will
be of an exceedingly mild nature.

THIS WOMAN KNOWS.
WHAT ONE OF THE SEX DlSC0v-
Erred To HER GREAT JOY.
rlrs. De Long Finds That the In.
deScribabIe Pains of Rheuma-
tism Can Be Cured
Through the
Blood.

Mrs. De Longs recovery from
rheumatism has aroused considerable
interest because it occurred as the re-
suit of an independent CO urse of treat
ment which she pursued in accord
ance with q theory of her own. When
interviewed on the subject of her ill
ness Mrs. belong said:
Il was in bed half the time, suffer
ing from that pain that cannot be
described to one who has never had
rheumatism. 1t would concentrate
sometimes in one set of joints, -
Just what do you mean?
"Why, sometimes it would be al
together in my feet and then | could
not walk. AT another time it would
be all in my elbows and wrists, and
then l could not even draw the cover
let's over my body. Whether the pain
was in my ankles, knees and hips, or
in my wrists and elbows. it caused me
extreme suffering The doctor gave
me no relief and | finally decided to
get ON without him"
Yours was hard condition to face
without the aid of doctor What
did you doF'
Il did great deal of thinking, you
may be sure. | happened to have a
Williams Pink Pills, and VIII was "a
perfect enthusiast on their value as a
purifier of the blood. What he had
said came often to my mind in conneo-
tion with the thought that rheuma-
tism is disease OF the blood l con-
cluded that if DR.. Williams Pink
Pills are so good for the condition of
the blood in general. they must be
good for rheumatism too.
AS my sutferings continued unre-
lieved it was necessary for me to do
something. so l decided to give Or.
Williams Pink Pills trial, and to
see whether they would not drive the
mischief out Of my blood.
How did the exp riment turn out?''
cit was complete success. Two
weeks after l began to use DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills, they showed what
they were capable of doing by giving
me the very first relief l had found in
all my illness. | kept on using them
until 1 was entirely well "
How long was that"
81 was really cured by the time |
had taken six boxes. but to make per-
fectly sure | continued to use them
for about two weeks longer and then
| stopped altogether The benefit has
lasted and for several years l have had
no occasion to use them myself. but l
am constantly recommending them to
Others -
Mr.. DeLong lives at No. 100 West
Broadway, Council Bluffs Iowa. Her
experience with DR. Williams Pink
Pills establishes the fact that improve
ment begins very quickly and that a
cure once accomplished is thorough.
This is due to the wonderful change
which these pills effect in the blood.
They really make new blood and cure
not only rhemumatism, but all disor-
ders of the blood or nerves. They are
sold by all druggists.

For "a NasturtIum Bed.

For the space beyond the back porch
you cannot do better than to have d
bed of drawf nasturtiums. Buy the
sorts, SOW the seeds in shallow boxes
or pots in the house and transfer them
to the open ground after the weather
becomes warm and settled. In put
ting the plants in the ground set them
according to variety description, 50
that they will radiate from the darker
sorts next the porch to the lighter ones
next the walk. After they begin to
bloom pick the blossoms freely and use
them, with long stems and some of the
foliage, in Il low glass bowl for table
decorations. They will be simple and
yet entirely appropriate for nearly all
occasions not strictly formal.
