FINDS PIG IN CHICKEN.
Mrs. 5fody's Fowl Yields Perfectly

Sormeu Porker.
Mrs. Brody of Richmond street,
Philadelphia. bought a chicken recent
ly.
It tipped the scales at five pounds,
was clipper and lively. and to all APP

When Mrs. Brody returned home
her son killed the chicken and later
II was prepared for cooking.
While she was cutting it Mrs.
Brody shrieked:

On the table lay an object that
bore most intimate resemblance to
very juvenile porker. 1t was three
inches long and weighed three-quar-
tiers Of a pound. 1t was covered by a
thin membrane, and eyes, snout, and
even little twisted tail were perfectly
formed.
Mrs. Brody says it seemed alive
when she touched it, but if it squealed
the membrane smothered the sound.
All day neighbors hocked into the
Brody home and exclaimed over the
prodigy.
Local poultry fanciers are at a loss
to explain the phenomenon.

WINDING ONES OWN BUSINESS.
One Of the Most Excellent Rules a
Person Can Follow,

O"S VI the MoSI Excellent Rules a
Person Can Follow,
To tell a man to his face to mind
his own business would be considered
about equal to knocking him down, or,
as the Frerchman said: Horizon
talizing his perpendicularity. And
yet it is one of the simplest rules
of right conduct and the most useful
that mankind can adopt in their in
tercourse with each other. There is a
great deal Of the Paul Pry spirit in
the human heart, or wonderful in
quisitiveness in regard to the personal
and private affairs of friends and
neighbors. This spirit makes more
mischief than almost any other cause.
and creates more malice, envy and
Jealousy than can be overcome in a
century. Let every man mind his
own business, and there will not be
half the trouble in the world that
there is at present.

Baseball Club EnveIoped
in More Trouble

Washington, May 1.-THE Wash
ington Baseball club is enveloped in
more trouble and this time affairs
look quite serious for all concerned.
The minority stockholders have raised
the latest rumpus and they talk of
going to court and asking for a re-
ceiver. They are said to want Bust
ness Manager Dwyer removed, and at
a recent meeting appointed a commit
tee to see Thomas G. Noyes, the prin-
cipal owner of the club, and, demand
of him a place on the board of diree-
tors. In case they fail to get what
they want they threatep Immediately
to take the matter into court.
1t is asserted that the club was in
such financial straits before the OPEN
ing of the championship season that
money had to be borrowed to start
with. On top of this came an expense
of $4,000 for moving the stands from
the old park to the new one. 1t ap-
pears that there were no bids or es-
Inmates asked for the removal, the
contractor, it is said, being told by
President Johnson to go ahead with
the work. The charges were consid-
cred so exorbitant that the bill was
not paid. Now the contractor has
brought suit to recover and the stands
may be attached. President Lambert
left yesterday for Chicago to talk with
Johnson about the matter.

Kansas City, May I.-McGee, Ed
Corrigan's great son of White knight,
simply breezed home in the first run
ming of the Kansas City Star handicap
at Elm Ridge park yesterday afternoon
Secretary MacFarlan had weighted the
imported horse with 125 pounds and
was of the opinion that, with this bur-
den, the Corrigan horse would have
trouble in dispOsing of his field
Mr. Corrigan probably gave his usual
instructions-''W Wait until the stretch TO
make the run''-but MCGEE had so
much speed that Daily could not have
kept him in the rear had he so desir-
ed. When the flag fell MCGEE had the
track, and when he passed the wire he
was running just as easy as when
Starter Dwyer raised the barrier There
never was a stage of the game when he
was in danger, and thtre was never
stage when DAILY allowed him to eX-
tend himself. He had a length in front
of the field, but when the stretch was
reached he increased his lead to two
lengths, although under strong re-
straint. The distance was covered IN
1:1415, which was remarkably fast con-
sidering the condition of the track
The real betting in this event was for
the second hOnors, BaS Dor, Elgln
King and Felipe Lugo all being heavily
backed. The Mulkey horse, which had
shown so well in the race against IN
junction and MCGEE week ago, look
ed good for the place, but he was used
up chasing MCGEE in the early stages
and at the finish he was way in the
ruck Elm King, who laid in second
position throughout finished in that
position. He ran a good race, but Alma
Dufour would have beaten him for sec
ond money in a few more strides.

Feared the Prisoners Were
Planning an Escape.
Extra Precautions Taken at
LeavenwOrth Guard House.
SEARCH FOR WEAPONS
Loaded Shells and Knives Are
Found in the Cells.
General Prisoners Searched AT
ter Taken on Duty.
SEARCH FOR WEAPONS

Leavenworth, Kan. May 1.-THE
Times says:
Since the escape of the four shackled
prisoners from their sentries, the au-
thorities at the Post are taking special
precaution to see that no more do so.
A rumoF was going the rounds of the
Post to the effect that the seventy
general prisoners confined in the guard
house would soon make a general at
tempt to escape, but no special indica-
tions have yet occurred to show that
they would attempt to gain their lib
erty.
The escape of the four men on last
Tuesday is the talk of all the prisoners
confined at the guard house and they
comment upon the easy manner in
which they made their escape.
Friday afternoon the officer of the
day and a number of the men on guard
went through everything in the guard
house, in an attempt to find anything
that would aid any of them in an at
tempt to escape. The search was a
successful one and shows that the au-
thorities cannot be strict enough in
searching the men and thus keep any
prisoner from hiding any instrument
in the guard house, so that he may use
1t whenever he wants to.
Heretofore the prisoners were never
searched and for this reason they could
easily secure a file or some other good
instrument in the quartermaster de-
partment and then hide it in their
clothes until they got into the guard
house where they could hide it away
until some future time.
In the search through the guard
house the guards found several loaded
shells, a few knives and several other
things. The ammunition was hidden IN
der the coal box and this search was a
rigid one for everything in the guard
house was looked into and even the
straw in the mattresses was taken out
and looked through. Only few of the
general prisoners are allowed to go out
of the guard house to work and after
they return they are rigidly searched,
each man being made to take off his
shoes and hat to see that he has con-
cealed nothing in them. It is custom
airy for the lights to be turned out at
9 o'clock every night, but on Friday
evening they were kept lighted all
night and the sentry whose custom il
IS to walk only in front of the guard
house now walks entirely around it.
This is only done during the night.
After guardmount yesterday when
all the prisoners are required to line
up in front of the prison the patrol
was stationed around the guard house
to see that none attempt to gel
away. When they came out, the pris-
oners were very quiet and if they had
