MiddIesex Pal Ter Mache IaiI.

(From the Hudson Observer.)
Middlesex's papier machc jail, out Of
which prisoners during the past few years
the board, or the beds, or the style Of the
keepers frock coats, is to be repaired at
last, much to the regret perhaps Of the
local newspapers, it is announced.
About the only live news that has
come out of New Brunswick for some
thing like a decade is the serial story of
Jail escapes. No later than yesterday
four prisoners cut a hole through the
roof while the sheriff's single warden had
gone over to South Amboy for a time to
find some relaxation from the dull, dead,
quiet of the town. ,Ar
Why they cut the hole cannot be i'm
agined. They might, have easily kicked
an opening through the walls or taken
out the bars which are adjusted with
mucilage.
Perhaps they did not want to escape.
Perhaps, like the warden, they were only
pining for "a little excitement. Just as
they reached the roof of the warden, tired

town, return to the staid old college city
and when he pointed his revolver at them
they crawled down through the hole
again.
This week the Board of Freeholders APP
propriated 5000 to improve the jail and
make it secure, but it is not certain that
the work will be done. They nave been
talking of repairing the building for
years, but the talk always ended in talk.
There is a suspicion abroad that the
newspapers, which rave considerable in
f~luence, are opposed to the plan.
Without the escapes, attempted or sue
c~essful, there would be very little to put
big headlines on in New Brunswick.
Correspondents of out-of7town papers
couldn't make their salt.

CRIPPLED BOY SUES
FOR $35, 900 DAMAGES

Grover d. Ashcroft, through his guardi-
an, Fannie Robinson has brought suit
against the Carman Manufacturing compa.
ny for injuries received last December.
The complaint alleges that while at work
in the establishment of the Carman Man.
ufacturing company, Grover Ashcroft, who
is l5-yearold boy, attempted to. couple
up a second piece of machinery which he
had been directed to put into opefation.
To do so it was necessary to put a belt on
a pulley in close proximity To- a rapidly
revolving set-screw, over which the boy
had to reach. His sleeve was caueht bv
the set-screw and his body was hurled
against the floor above, crushing his foot,
breaking the ankle and leg, nearly tear.
ing his arm from bis body, and rupturing
the blood vessels in his eyes. Since the
accident the foot and part of the leg
have been amputated. As result of the
accident the boy will be cripple for life.
Damages are claimed in the sum of 1885,
600. Govnor Teats is attorney for the com
plainant.

JAPS CONTRIBUTE TO
THE RED CROSS FUND

The Japanese of Tacoma will subscribe
$1,000 or more to the cause of their coun-
try. About $1,000 of the SO 900 has already
been raised There are about 400 Japs
in this city and this shows that they
have already subscribed an average of SIS
each. AT first it was intended to turn
this contribution over to the war depart
ment of Japan, but at the suggestion of
I. Hawai-, proprietor of the Lincoln res
taurant, who proposed raising the fund in
the first place, it has been decided to pre-
sent the money contributed here to the
Red Cross society of Japan.
Fired with the patriotism that comes
from the love of country, every subject of
the mikado is eager to contribute all he
possibly can to assist his countrymen in
their present struggle. A like contribu-
ton to the one in progress here is being
made in Seattle, which, coupled with that
of smaller towns throughout the state, will
replenish the Golfers of the japanese Red
Cross society to quite an extent.
MIR. Hawai- states that he has no idea
how long the war will last, nor does he
believe, that the mikado can tell, but he
feels confident that Japan will win out,
because of the soldiers of Japan follow
that vocation naturally. Though not edu-
Gated for the army especially he says,
they have been trained along lines that
make them good soldiers.

TREATMENTS ORDERS
DELIVERED IN HOOPS

When Thomas N. Morris, now deputy
United States marshal, was operator at

stall still it is great convenience and
time-saver. To accomplish this many ex-
periments were tried, but none was sue
cessful. Finally Mr.. Morris hit upon the
scheme of using barrel hoops. He cut a
slit in the hoop and in this slit the order
or clearance was placed. No matter what
the speed of the train, it was an easy
matter for the engineer to slip his arm
through the hoop, and then remove the
paper from the slit at his leisure.
When Newman Cline came to the Pacific
division as superintendent he quickly need
the utility of the hoop and placed an order
with the shops at South Tacoma for a

exposed to fire on three sides. The Turks
saw the opportunity and made sortie.
Thereupon Colonel KouropatlSin, the only
officer ON Skoheleff's staff who had not
fallen, rushed to meet them in the open
with some 500 men. A desperate fight at
short range ensued. Kouropatkin's little
band was almost entirely cut to pieces,
but not until it had driven the Turks
back into their redoubt. During the day
Kouropatkin received three wounds, but
he never ceased fighting until the vic
tory was assured.

brilliant graduate OF the academy of the
general staff, he was sent abroad to study

sleigh tracks, and the peasants are able to
cover surprising distances with surprising
ly heavy loads.
Their sleighs, however, are just as crude
as their wagons, if less complicated. The
runners are of wood and everything else
is of wood and where one piece of timber
has to be joined to another it is done by
wooden pegs or leather straps The char
acteristic feature of the Russian sleigh is
high arched affair over the horses neck
made of wood and usually adorned with
tassels or bells. Most Russian sleighs are
made very low, the box almost touching
the ground. So,
The fact that Russian peasants are so
behindhand in the use of non opens great
possibilities from the commercial point
of view. Already the American agricul-
tural machine is common sight in Rus
STA. Every summer, steamers on the Volga
and other rivers are piled high with them
and on all the larger estates they are con-
sidered indispensable. But there is a vast
opening for iron things of much simpler
sort, Bolts, nails, screws, axle-trees and
other things familiar to American farmers
areas still rare ieuriosities to the peasants of
Russia. The Germans are, to some ex-
tent, trying TO meet this demand, and
several British firms have opened branch
factories in Riga and other places, so as
to get ROUND the Russian tariff.
Probably the chief reason for the uni
versal use of wood and the rare use of
iron is found in the fact that Russian
iron mines are chiefly confined to the dis
tant Ural mountains, while wood is uni.
Versal and the cheapest thing in the coun-
try. To the average traveller in Russia
