PLACE OF PENANCEl
AIcatraz Island Where Frank Rakowski VIII Suffer.


"Ten years Imprisonment in the mill
itary prison at Alcatraz island will be
likely to cause regret in the heart of
Frank Rakowski, the common soldier
who threatened the life of President
Roosevelt" said an ex-regular. THE
telegraph dispatches tell the story Of
the remark tina will cause this soldier
ten years of hard work and then a dis
honorable discharge.
"Alcatraz island is a rock in San
Francisco bay. It is some two or three
miles from shore, and rises high above
the mainland. But one boat. that a
government charge, lands there, and
this only at certain times Of the day
never at night. No one is allowed to
20 near the island, and no one lands
unless he has permission. Sentinels
guard the rock-hound coast and
perched high in the center of the is
land is a tower, in which there is al
ways a sentinel on duty. He can sec
every part Of the little island from this
post. Guard duty only ome to the
soldiers of the two batteries of artillery
stationed there, but the prisoners work
during the day.
"A load OF them is taken daily to
the Preside, well guarded, and work
throughout the day around the post, in
the national cemetery, and out toward
the Golden Gate in the big piece OF
rolling land, a beautiful spot, with a
fine view of the outer bay and the
ocean. It was near here that the aw-
full catastrophe in which Consul Wild
a coming home from Hong-Kong,
lost his life. Many lives we're saeri-
feed by the boat striking a rock in the
night. while trying to enter the har-
Dor. There is an old Spanish fort near.
Some $50 government prisoners arc
usually kept at Aleatraz island. They
are known by numbers, and their
names are almost forgotten even by
themselves. On their uniform overaHs
are great white OF red numbers that
denote whether they are in for long
or short terms. These numbers are on
their backs. just above one knee, and
again on the back Of the leg. The
s~entinels are instructed to shoot to kin
after calling once to the prisoner to
halt.

An interesting relic of the Roman
occupation Of Scotland has just been
discovered during building operations
at Falkirk, in the form Of a large
stone, about nineteen inches broad, ten
inches thick. over four feet high and
weighing probably half a ton. It is
beautifully sculptured in high relief.
The characterization is divided into two
panels, the larger n being at the top.
These panels are separated by a band
about one and a half inches broad,
which is carried round both panels,
meeting at an angle at the top of the
stone. Under the angle is a beautiful
shell-like device, delicately executed.
The upper panel is completely flied
by a horse and rider. the warrior car
rying a sword triumphantly aloft. The
figure is pictured in full armor and
bears a shield. The lower panel repre-
sents a naked mana wild Celt, pre-
sumably-prone on the ground, his
shield and weapon lying beside him.
The profile is perfect and the stone is
in a complete state Of preservation.

Galusha A. Grow, who announces his
intention of retiring from public life
at the end of his present term, has been
a member of congress at large since
1894, and is one of the most distin-
guished statesmen of Pennsylvania. He
lives at Glenwood, in Susquehanna
county, and is descended from Connec-
ticut ancestors. He was first elected
to Congress as long ago as 1850, and at
that time served twelve years as rep

tinction of being the youngest member
Of Congress. Mr.. Grow will be 10 years
old next August.

STRONGER CARS NEEDED

Where the Railroad System Of Americr
x ~ Is Defective - -

The appalling disaster on the Wa
bash which caused such heavy loss Of
life involuntarily sets human inven-
ton at work. It is recognized that the
human equation must be taken into ac-
count and that in spite OF every pre-
caution employed accidents will occur.
Men are bound to make mistakes, and
when they are dealing with destructive
agencies mistakes prove costly. Our
great volume Of commerce, the thou
sands who ride daily in the cars on
business or pleasure bent, crowd the
railroads with traffic, and occasionally,
in the midst of this mighty rush and
hustle, somebody blunders and calam-
ity follows.
In earlier days train travelled at
slower speed, coaches were more fra
gile in construction. They were light
ed by kerosene lamps. They were
heated by car stoves. A slight colli-
sion served to telescope the weaker
coaches. The broken lamps poured
Kerosene over the combustible ruins.
and the deadly car stove communicated
fire to the heap, which soon became
the funeral pyre of the manned and
imprisoned passengers.
The lamp gave place to the Pintscb
gas system and that is giving way to
electric lighting, which employs no

Hoarders of Money Find Queer Hiding Places For Ii.

1t may not be entirely sanitary or
perfectly convenient to wear the same
petticoat eleven years without ever
taking it off, but there are probably
many people who would do it for ST.
ZOO. That is what Mrs. Lee of Jersey
City did, and now her son William,
who found the money after she died,
is trying by law to get it back from the
man he loaned it to. If e\had fol-
lowed his mothers example and worn
the petticoat he would have his money
still
1t is not on record that the possess
sion of the money did Mrs. Lee any
good. She saved her earnings while
employed as a nurse in a hospital in
Baltimore and when she left she put
the money In a chamois bag and sewed
it into her petticoat. There she kept
it continually, night and day, for the
next eleven years, and when she was
dying she took the petticoat off, hand
ed it to her son, and said:
Here, William, is your heritage.
Search it well. 1t is worth more than
you would think"
William searched accordingly and
found the funds, but a willy man got
them away from him, and now he is
poor again.
Williams mother had a somewhat
unusual method of preserving her saw
ings, but she was only following a ten

combustibles at all. The car stove has
given way to steam heat, supplied from
the locomotive. but still collisions oc-
cur, and with fearful loss of life, at
times. The principal trouble appears
to be hat some Of the coaches, espe-
cially the day coaches, in service are
too fragile to stand the grinding, crush
ing force brought to bear upon them
during a collision. The instant that
one of them yields to the pressure of
the car ahead it is crushed or tele-
scoped and all its passengers are killed
or crippled. Those who are fortunate
enough to be in the Pullmans and 9TH
er strong coaches usually escape with
bruises and a few cuts from broken
glass.
II any lesson is to be drawn from
the disaster at Seneca, says the Detroit
Journal, it is that every car in the
train ought to be as nearly proof
against collapse as the best material
can make it. Then, in case two fast
trains should meet, the cars would only
be tumbled about on the ground, like
so many strong boxes. In such a case
the passengers would have a show for
their lives. because the natural instinct
is to hold fast to something at such a
time. The danger of a fire horror
would be lessened, because there would
be less kindling wood to be lighted.

dency which crops out in strange ways
in many people. There is something
OF the squirrel in half of humanity. A
squirrel in a park will catch a peanut
from the hand of a bystander, run a
few steps, and hide it in the ground SO
securely that the man who saw it hid
den cannot find the place where it was
put. So these squirrel people will take
odd coins and hide them so that not
the ~bystander nor that professional
finder, the burglar-sometimes not the
hider himself-can find them.
Harey B. MacLean, who lived in
Wheeling, w. Va, for many years, was
one of those who cannot find the hid
ing place again themselves. For the
first time in mis- life he was to cave
town. For some reason he could Eever
explain he feared that his bank would
fail while he vas gone, so ne took the
money he had saved out of it and hid
1t. That was the last time he ever saw
the money. though he broke down from
worry due to his search for it and died
a year later. He had not been in his
grave two days when his sons wife
began housekeeping. She found some
old shoes in a closet and had her hus-
band try them on before throwing any
away, and in the toe of one he found
an obstruction. Sure enough, there
was the lost money-SS26 .1S-rolled up
tight and securely concealed.
