LIFE PRISONER MYSTERIoUsLY
DISAPPEARED WHEN JAPAN
ESE MADE INVASION.
Father Putin, Who Was Convicted oil
the Crime of Murder, Was the
Prisoner.

ST. PETERSBURG, Aug. Tt is
reported from Saghalien that in the
course of events accompanying the
recent invasion of the Japanese there
occurred the mysterious disappearance
from the island a convict named Putt
lin, formerly priest of Marrinsk, who
a year ago was sentenced at Tomsk,
to penal servitude for life for series
of od-curdling murders.
A man of immense strength, Putilin
was very popular among his fellow
prisoners, and was a favorite with the
convict guards. He played an import
ant part in the preparation of a con-
vict regiment to repel the Japanese,
but it is suspected that he took ad-
ing the invasion to make good his es-
cape.
a wave of terror throughout eastern
Siberia. Many believe that the con-
Wet priest will throw himself on the
mercy of the japanese, if he has not
already done so, but aver with ter
ror that Putilin will undoubtedly re-
turn to the scene of his former crimes.
In the heyday of his prosperity,
Father Putilin was one of the most
nonored and respected men in the
neighborhood of Marrinsk But with
his three brothers all priests and
wealthy house owners, Father Putt
lin in reality for years lived a double
life At night time the criminal quar-
tet masking their faces, sailed out
and waylaid wealthy travellers on the
cars highway. On one occasion they
even held up and robbed a Siberian
elnigrant train.
Finally the four brothers were
brought to justice by an anymous let
ter, which advised the police that a
brass bound chest under the altar of
Father Putilin's church, if searched,
m ight be found to contain stolen prop
erty.

One of Senator Depew's.

Senator Depew Of New York is one
of the best story tellers in the world.
The newspaper men who form the
membership of the famous GridirOn
club at Washington have as their
guests at banquets all Of the greatest
and most famous men in the political
world, including the presidents Of the
United States. Every guest, excepting
the presidents, is subjected to all sorts
of roastings whenever attempting to
respond to toasts. One evening before
the fellows could get in any work on
him Chauncey Depew hypnotized them.
lie began his speech thus:
ut is matter Of modern historic in
terest that all you have to do is to drop
a dinner in the slot and get speech
out of Chauncey Depew."
He had the boys shouting with laugh
ter from beginning to end Of ten min
ute speech, and nobody interrupted
him, for he told one good story after
another as fast as any comedian mo-
nologist that ever lived. Here Is one Of
them:
The senator was stumping the state
Of New York in the campaign Of 1900,
having big audiences and kindly recep-
lions at all points. In one town the Re-
publican managers had arranged to
have a cannon near the stand Of the
speaker and to have it fired off every
time the people gave vent to applause.
Senator Depew was in one Of his hap
piest veins and kept the people hurrah-
ing almost all Of the time. At last
stopping to take breath, he distinctly
heard this inquiry come across the
field
cap, when is the old galoot going to
quit? I've only got four cartridges
left'
And Depew said that he finished his
speech in four minutes, so that he got
the full benefit of all the ammunition
in town.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A PLUNGE WITH DEATH.
Flying Through Space Upside Down
in an Automobile.

The most fascinating and hazard
GUS as well as the most skillfully ex-
ecuted explait ever known is the one
called the Dip of Death with the
stunt for an automobile and one to
which motor car users should take
them what reckless driving really is,
and it will be seen in the Barnum
and Bailey Shows which come here
soon. 1t is a genuine thriller of the
loop-the-gap variety with variations.
The appurtenances with it came ov-
er from France. The art is called
"L'Auto- Bolide,' and it was intro
duced at LIE Folies Bergeres in Paris.
The illustrations picturing thi act
show the young woman rushing up
side down through the air at a speed
that breaks the law several times Ov-
er. The framework for the feat is of
a different character than those of any
prior or similar arrangement built for
bicycles and the performance is in ev-
cry way more daring and more SEN
sational. The automobile with it's
occupant starts from a platform as
high as a four-story building and
runs with an alarming speed down the
ox11r III
in form the outside of a gigantic letter
50 inverted. AS the lower curve of
its rider are suspended upside down
and spring forty-five feet across the
gap. The steel framework here sup
ports a curved runway that begins in
half-moon shape and straightens in
to an easy incline to the ground, where
the young woman and her automobile
complete their journey. AS the per-
former and automobile are suspended
upside down for a large part of the
run, the circus men say that "L'Auto-
Bolide" is the limit of possibility of
sensational aerialism. The hazard
Gus character Of the exploit can best
be understood when it is stated that
the young lady essaying the part OF
Chauffeur in this awful meteoric flight
nearly courts death at every perfor-
nance, and while not actually seeking
1t, does f1irt with the grim spectre
and-mocks at him. AS the Barnum
and Bailey show own all the patent
rights of this marvellous act it can be
seen only in that show when it comes
here on August IA.

preached one Sunday morning on the
