MOST MISERABLE OF MEN.
The Horrors of Portugals Prison
of Silence.

Entombed in grim castle on the
outskirts of Lisbon are some OF the
most miserable men on earth. These
are the inmates of Portugal's prison OF
silence. In this building everything
that human ingenuity can suggest to
render the lives of its prisoners hor-
rible, maddening torture is done. The
corridors, piled tier on tier five sto-
ries high, extend from common cen
ter like the spokes of huge wheel.
The cells are narrow-tomollKe-
and within each stands coffin. The
attendants creep about in felt slippers.
No one is allowed to utter WORD.
The silence is that of the grave. once
a dav the cell doors are unlocked and
the half a thousand wretches march
ont. clothed In shrouds and with faces
covered by masks, for it is part OF
this hideous punishment that none
NAV look on the countenance OF his
fellow-prisoner. Few of them endure
the torture for more than ten years.

INTO HIS HOUSE.
Remarkable Performance by a
Train of Cars in Newark.

A dispatch says Commissioner
James Shape, of the Newark, N. j.,
Board of Education, was visited at his
home at O'Clock in the morning
by train of three Lacleawanna rail.
road cars. The visit was informal
and unexpected. The cars were all
loaded, one with thirty tons of oats,
another with baled hay and the third
with fifty tons of coal.
The cars did not pause to knock at
Mr.. Shapes front door. They just
pushed over good-sized shade tree
that stood in front of lis residence and
then knocked away the brick front OF
the house up to the level of the second
story, razing portion of the founda-
tion wall on the north side of the
building. The forward car of the
train displayed its neighborliness by
passing the opening 1t made In the
building and entering Mr.. Shapes
parlor. In doing so it smashed all the
furniture, crushed the piano into
flinders and dislodged the pictures on
the wall.
The parlor was not large enough to
contai1 the car, SO it just tore away
the partition wall leading to the din
ing room and was passing on through
toward the kitchen when the floor
collapsed and the car full of oats took
a precipitous descent into the cellar.
Either carelessness on the part of
the drilling crew OF the train at the
Sheffield and Orange street yard of
the Lackawanna or the failure of
switch to operate was responsible for
the damage to the Shape home.

GRAFT HAS BEGUN TO SHOW At PANAMA
Government PAYS Exorbtant Prices for Poor Grade of
Lumber and Railroad Ties From Georgia, Which
Are Pronounced Worthless.

of tar rather than creosote, with
which even the best grade of ties are
coated to add to their durability.
None of the officials in charge of
the railroad construction believe that
the life of these ties will be more than
Is months, although to place them on
the wharf at Colon costs just as much
as if they were Of lignum vitae, which
will survive for several years.
ENGINEERS ARE DISGUISED.
The last steamer of the United
Transit Company to reach Colon from
New Orleans brought $4,000 of these
inferior crossties to be used in the con-
struction of the new track to parallel
the Panama railroad line from Gorgo-
ma to Panama, via the Bas machine
shops and Culebra. OF the amount
received so far the engineers say only
ten per cent would be fitted for use in
a northern climate, and that it will be
a waste of time to put the rest in place.
Why money should be expended on
such worthless material every one
is at a loss to understand, and
they are wondering who made the
contracts for it and what was the
motive which prompted the purchase
of it instead of ties adapted to the
purpose.

SOLDIERS HID UNDER BEDS.
Inspiring Testimony Before Mill
tary Court of Inquiry.

At Huntsville, Ala, a military
court of inquiry has been in session to
ascertain if there was incompetence of
the troops in connection with the re-
cent lynching at that place.
Taller Giles testified that several of
the men of the company were SO badly
frightened that they were were worse
than useless in defense of the Jail.
Some of the men, he claimed, took
refuge under beds and in closets of the
building while the mob was besieging
the Jail.

A Panama dispatch says much unfa'
vorable comment has been caused
there by the immense consignments
of lumber and railroad ties which
have been received for distribution
throughout the canal zone, and all
who say they know whereof they
speak, agree that, although the high
est prices have been paid for this ma
terial, the larger part of it is of such
inferior quality as to be almost use
less.
Purchased under the direction of
General Davis and Colonel Hecder of
the canal commission, nearly 2,000,0 900
feet of lumber and several cargoes OF
railroad ties have been received, every
ship from New York adding to the
supply on hand. The lumber is of
the poorest grade of Georgia pine,
which some say cost $50 for each
1000 feet, while others put the
price at $50.
THE TIES ARE NO GOOD.
The railroad ties are of soft, dry
wood, altogether unsuited for a eli
mate which will destroy ties of lignum
vitae in few years. Split aud worm
eaten, they have been covered with a
coating which resembles a composition

EVERYBODY WILL BE CRAZY.
One in Every Five Heading That
Way. Chicago in the Lead.

One person in every 150in Chicago
is insane. One person in every five is
predisposed to insanity. This is as
serted in the report of DR.. V. Fl. Hold
stata, superintendent of the sbig Dun
ming insane asylum.
DR.. James P. Lynch, DR.. Oscar A.
King, Judge Orrin Carter and many
more prominent authorities upon the
subject, men who have studied the
subject scientifically for years, state
that insanity has increased rapidly in
the last ten years. 1t has Increased
all over the world, but more rapidly in
Chicago than elsewhere. The percent
age of insanity to 100000 has quad
rupled in so years.
CAT the present rate OF the develop
ment of insanity, according to the
worlds statistics" says DR.. James F.
Lynch, ''and with present conditions
of work and living unaltered, hall OF
the civilized world will be more or less
insane 500 years from now. And in
another 200 years from that time, un-
der the same conditions, most of the
Caucasian race will be mentally de-
ranged and civilization wiped Off the

HOUSES TURN WITH SUN.
Buildings Made to Face Any Re-
quired Direction.

DR.. Pellegrin and Architect Petit
of Paris have designed a method for
erecting houses on rotating platforms
SO that the buildings can be made to
face any required direction.
The platform Is supported by two
concentric walls, and the axis of rota-
tion is occupied by shaft through
which pass the supply and waste pipes.
A gas petroleum engine moves the
platform, and it is usable, if necessa.
ry, to drive clockwork, which will en-
able the front to follow the sun during
the day.
