This was but q part Of an interna-
tional scheme by which the leaders
hoped to kill all the crowned heads
Of Europe.
The frustrating of the chloroform
scheme and the smashing of the Au-
tonomie club made Mr.. Melville the
most hated man in England In an
archist eyes. Threats poured in whole
sale. Letters arrived at Scotland Yard
upon Mr.. Melville IL he did not cease
to watch the anarchists. One anarchist
with a loaded revolver In his breast
pocket succeeded in penetrating the
strait corridors of Scotland Yard and
getting in to Superintendent Melville's
own room.
He began TO talk to Mr. Melville
quite plausibly, but the trained eye of
the detective caught the CLINT Of a
shining pistol-barrel behind the edge
of the anarchists coat. Quick as light
ming he snatched the weapon, coolly fn-
formed the visitor that he had nothing
more to say to him, and then flung
him out into the passage

Mr. Melville had narrow escape OF
death at Poplar in 1893, when Francois
tried to shoot him to avoid arrest.
But the powerful, athletic detective
was too quick for the criminal, and
pinned him down and took away his
weapon.
A sharp struggle at Victoria station
occurred when Mr.. Melville left his
wife's side, went up to the French
bomb-thrower, Meunier, and started TO
put him under arrest. Meunier drew
his fully loaded revolver, but the de-
tective showed that he had muscle as
well as brains. and gripped the an
archists arm in time. There was an
up and down struggle, Meunier was
secured, and in addition to the car
tridges in the revolver, Mr.. Melville
found large stock of ball cartridges
In his captive's pockets.

One of the rarrowest escapes he ever
had occurred there. In company with
a French detective Mr.. Melville walked
down the narrow streets of the Mont
martre and entered an anarchist den
The moment he entered, some of the
anarchists recognized him. There was
a yell of anger fash, and bullet

CHOOSE A LIFE IN JAIL.
Thirty Years Instead Of Days Was
"Jimmy's" Sentence,


In st. Johns cemetery, Newtown,
there was laid to rest Jimmy the
Paup." one of Brooklyn's oldest char
acters, who of his own will had been
an inmate of Raymond street jail for
80 years. He died on Saturday night.
and his death caused genuine sorrow
among the keepers and jail attendants.
Jimmy's real name was James
Davis, but many years ago the nick
name Jimmy the Paup" was given
him, Jimmy was a little Irish man
of quaint ways and bright wit, and
his picturesque sayings had served to
cheer up many dcspondent prisoner
to whom he talked. OF Jimmy's early
history only little Is known. 1t Is said
that at one time he was the keeper
of the Public Pound in Brooklyn. So
far as is known, he had no relatives
here.
About 30 years ago Jimmy was sent
to Raymond street Jail for 80 days for
some small offense. When his time
was up he wanted to remain in tie
place.
"Oim thot stuck or ther place OF
won't be happy out of it," he said to
the warden. IF yer turn me loose
Oil be back again in jiffy, OF will"
Jimmy begged so hard to be allowed
to remain in the Jail that it was finally
arranged that he should sell tobacco
and like supplies to the prisoners, In
return for which privilege he took
charge of the white-washing gang.
Jimmy then became q fixture at the
jail, and every prisoner confined in
the place came to know and like the
little man, who moved around every
day, cheering them up with his quaint
humor and sayings.
Jimmy enjoyed the luxury of a
suite" of cells. He occupied three of
them; one he used for a bedroom, a
second for a 'parlor," and the third
for storeroom. Although he had op-
portunities to turn quite a penny with
his tobacco-selling privilege, Jimmy
did not seem to care much for money.
and gave away about as much of his
stock as he sold. 1t is told of him
poor prisoner in whose case he took
an interest by giving him money when
he left the jail.
Although he was at liberty to go
and come when he pleased, Jimmy
would go out into the world about
once a week to get a new stock of
supplies. Once he took fancy into
his head not to go out at all, and for
seven years he did not put his foot
outside the Jail walls.
Jimmy, who was 70 years old, fell
Ill early last week, and it was thought
best to remove him to the Brooklyn
hospital, where he died on Saturday
night. Warden Mclaughlin, Deputy
Warden Wilson. and the jail keepers
made up fund. with which a grave
was bought in St. John's cemetery i.

HIGH VOICE AND Low VOICE.

MY voice and your voice
Rough voice and sweet,
Up the busy boulevard,
Down the shady street,
Singing together,
Clinging together,
Your heart and mine
Sad or sunny weather.
High voice and low voice,
Moon voice and star,
Just above the treetops-
Very, very far
Singing together,
Swinging together,
Satellite and sun
Upper world and neither.

Deep voice and shrill,

Location Of the Sleeping Room.

Location Of the Sleeping Room.
There is no unanimity on this ques-
ton. On one point, however, all agree,
viz, that the bedroom should not be
exposed to the north. AS to the re-
naming three cardinal points we may
as we'll eliminate from the discussion
a western exposure as too windy and
little luminous. so that 1t remains to
decide only between east and south.
A southern exposure evidently offers
many advantages. The room receives
the sun during the greatest part OF the
day. gets solar heat, and this is much
better than artificial heat, which is in
furious to health. The sun also bathes
the room in light, which helps to de-
stroy the microbes. There is. however,
this inconvenience in a southern ex-
posure, that the sun does not penetrate
far enough into the room. When even
in a position to face the room 1t is too
high above the horizon, and conse-
quently. cannot send its rays to the
further end of the room, except in full
winter. Besides, a southern exposure
is liable to make the room too warm.
An eastern exposure, seems therefore
to offer the most advantages. In tho
first place. it is protected alike against
the cold OF the north and heat of the
south. Then it is favorable to health,
as it incites to early rising. and. fin
ally, 1t insures the most abundant
light. When the sky IS clear-and it IS
so in the morning rather than in the
later hours of the day-the rays pene-
trate to the furthest end of the room.
since the sun is still low on the hori-
zon. From the east we also get the
dryest air, and from the east comes
the most active. though not the hottest
light. So, taken all in all, an exposure
Of the sleeping room to the east seems
to be preferable to all others.--New
York Tribune.

CARGO FROM CHICAGO HERE.
Stea nishlp TO Bring $4,000 Bushels Of
Corn without Breaking Bulk.

CHICAGO, May 2-The charter Of the
steamer kanawha to-day for cargo Of corn
from Chicago to New York. without break
ing bulk, is an innovation which caused
considerable comment In marine circles
here.
Three seasons ago the Northern Steamship
Company. backed by Chicago capitalists
and later abandoned, operated four steamers
between this city and Europe, but not since
the early days of navigator on TIE La 'do
the oldest marine m III here recall al instance
where full cargo Of grain has been shipped
direct to New York by the all-water route.
The Kanawha's cargo will be rs 900 bushels
of corn. Early day shipments of that
character were made in sailing craft.
No attempt is being made to establish
a new route for export grain because Of the
excessive rates OF insurance charged beyond
Buffalo and the lack of return cargoes. 1t
is expected that the Kanawha rate to New
York was sl25 for 500 valuation on the
grain cargo, the Buffalo proportion being
80 cents.

An effort is beng made TO keep the Pike
open on Sunday. One of the national COM
missoners is quoted as saying that the Pike
is an annex to the worlds fair and not, in
a legal sense, part of it, and consequently
does not come within the Congress inhibi-
ton closing the gates of The fair on Sundays.
An amusing feature of the fair is the con-
temptuous feeling Of the American Indians
toward the Filipinos, az well as the natives
of South American countries.

Cuf1's Death Il Like the One lie should

Coroner O'Gorman held an inquiry yes
terday into the death OF James Mobile, an
employee OF the O'Rourke Construction
Company, who was killed by an express
train on the New York Central tracks At
10th street on March 2s. The principal
witness was to have been Michael Gun, a
foreman OF the O'Rourke company and q
brother of Detective Sergeant Gun at Police
Headquarters.
Although Cuff had been subp9naed TO
appear at 3 o'clock he did not show up,
and owing TO the lack of his testimony the
jury was unable to fix the blame for No
bile's death
just as the foreman announced the ver-
dict, the Coroner received telephone mes
sage that Cuff had been killed by an ex-
press train on the New York Central tracks
He hurried to the place and said later that
he found Cuff had been run over at the
same time az had Mobile, 5:2O o'clock. He
also said that the foreman had been struck
within two feet OF the spot where Mobile
was killed. Cuff was walking on the south
bound track when he was run down by
southbound train. Mobile was on the
northbound track.
In the foremans pockets papers were
found showing that he had just applied for
. life insurance policy which would have
become operative in three days. His home
was in Bayonne, and letter was found in
his pocket from his wife urging him to come
home on Friday.
IF Cuff had obeyed the subpoena. said
Coroner O'Gorman, "he would not have

CIRRENCI ron PANAMA..
Steps Taken to secure the Adoption OF
American Money.

WASHINGTON, May-2-Steps have been
taken by this Government to secure the
adoption by the Republic of Panama of
American coinage. and if these efforts are
successful the new republic will have a
currency system similar to that of the
United States, but instead of minting its
own money it will use the American dollar
on gold basis.
Secretary Shaw recently brought this
subject to the attention of the Admins
tration and the State Department has COM
mlnicated with the United States repre-
sentative on the Isthmus explaining the
advantage of having the Republic of Panama
adopt United States currency. This Gov
eminent will spend millions of dollars on
the Isthmus during the construction Of the
Panama Canal and will, of course make
all payments in American currency.
Should Panama establish minting
plant and produce it's own money it would
probably be necessary for that govern
ment to issue bonds or adopt some sys-
tenn Of protecting it's coinage. 1t is pointed
out that the only action necessary to adopt
American money will be legislation direct
ing that currency of the United States
shall be the established currency OF the
Republic Of Panama and that it will be
accepted in payment of all debts.

The city hall people say they will have

hand, the Hearst-H Hopkins followers claim
seven of the ten districts. Owing to
complicated conditions of the campaign

vantage until the delegates vote on some
test question in the State or county con-
