many inquiries for seats at the ad-

fessor Herbert in an interview yester-
day, said THE progress of the band
has been most rapid. Truly phenome-

the fact that many of the men have
not played together for some time. I
have, however, had them under heavy

LONG PURSUIT AFTER A THIEF
Trapper Rides 1000 Miles to Capture
Man Who Robbed Him

PINEDALE, Wyo., April 5.-One Of
the most extraordinary rides in the
history of the west has just been con-
cluded by B. F. Roberts, trapper, who
travelled more than 1000 miles in order
to run down and capture Oscar Del
mont, an alleged outlaw.
Roberts owned a small cabin in the
Jacksons Hole country, where he is
trapping. belmont went to the cabin
and was rendered the hospitality of
the place, being almost destitute. Rob-
erts left on hunting trip and when ne
returned found his stable and cabin in
ashes. Evidences of looting were dis
covered, and, suspecting belmont, Rob-
erts mounted his horse and started in
pursuit of the fugitive. This was on
December 10.
Roberts trailed belmont to this place
and thence to South Pass. There he
discovered a horsehair bride belong
ing to him, which mad been sold by
belmont. belmont had left II days be-
fore Securing a new horse Roberts
again took up the trail. At Lander he
notified Sheriff Slough and then start
ed out again. He rode back to Pine
dale, over into the basin country and
back again. At Daniel he heard of
Delmonts capture. About this time he
was summoned to Evansville to attend
the trial, belmont having been turned
over to the Uinta county authorities.
He made the long ride back to the
county seat, and has just returned,
belmont having been bound over to
the district court on a charge of ar
son.
In his efforts to run adown belmont
Roberts rode more than 1000 miles
during extremely cold weather, suffer-
ing great nardships. All of his prop
erty was destroyed in the burned
buildings and he is destitute. He
spent $3.50 in pursuit and lost the work
of his traps during the winter, but is
elated over the fact that the alleged
outlaw is in Jail.

coLoRED CONVICT PREFERRED
DEATH TO ATERM IN THE
PENITENTIARY.
Bunch From Tacoma Yesterday Came
Near Being One Man Short-Con-
viet Caught Just in Time.

The bunch of Tacoma convicts
brought to the state penitentiary yes
terday came very near being one man
short. E. G. Washington, colored
man sentensed to one year for forgery,
was caught in the act of cutting his
throat in the Tacoma Jail just before
the gang was turned over to Warden
KEGS for transportation. One of the
guards happened to step into the cell
where Washington was confined and
found the man with mis- neck barred and
a razor at his throat. Washington
lowered the weapon on command and
was speedily disarmed.
Washington is a well known Ia
coma man and heretofore bore an ex-
cellent reputation. A strong effort
was made to save him from the peni-
tertiary and the convicted man had
not given up hope of escaping prison
term until the order of transportation
came. Then he broke down entirely
and spent several hours before the
time of mis- departure to the peniten-
tiary in giving vent to his grief in
sobs and cries.
During a visit within the IRON barred
corridor Jailers Hawley and Stenso
found Washington with his necktie and
collar removed and an open razor in
his hand. He was apparently trying
to brace himself for the fatal slash of
the throat and had evidently fully de
termined upon suicide. The blade was
taken from his possession and Wash
ington replaced his collar and tie
sneepishly enough. A reaction seemed
to come soon after and he regained
much of mis- jovial mood. AS the
seven prisoners were soon afterwards
marched from the G street entrance
under guard, Washington, the last ir
line, wore the only smile in the CROWD
as he turned for a last look at the
building until the expiration of his
sentence.

In Lapanese Hospitals.

The, greatest difference between the
work of Japanese hospitals and those of
our country is the formers greater sim
plicity of equipment and economy of
management. We are apt to surround
ourselves with SO many Labor saving
devices" that the mere care of them be-
comes a burden and in our hospitals
there is generally a liberal use OF sup
plies. At Hiroshima the really impor-
TINT things (including an X-ray and
photographing outfit and a chemical and

found, but not things which are consid-
cred unessential. Bandages from clean
wounds are washed, rolled by hand, and
used repeatedly, while laundry is kept
at a minimum by rules specifying the
length of time bedding and kimonOs are
to be used.-Century.

CLAY SPLlcED THE TWlNE,
When a Store Clerk the Famous
Statesman Had a Lesson
a4 #&r in Economy.

It has been said that Henry Cay
achieved success SO easily that he
quite misunderstood others and over
estimated himself. But he was eager
to learn the best way to do whatever
he had to do. In "The True Henry
Clay" the author gives an instance Of
this:
cat Ia Henry became clerk in a
store in Richmond, whittier the fam
lily had removed Stories are told Of
his willingness to do his duty, al
though the work was distasteful to
him.
"Once he was reproved by the
storekeeper for wasting too much
twine. Thereafter he saved every
scrap he could get and tied the pieces
together Again it was explained that
using this sort of twine might be Of
fensive to the customers, as it made
the packages look untidy by reason
of so many knots. So he consulted
with sailor at Richmond, who showed
him how to splice string with a
smooth joint.
/, From that time he spent his leisure
hours making short pieces of twine Of
the same size into a continuous cord.
When his employer discovered this, he
was so much pleased that he had all
twine saved, and turned the task
of splicing it over to young Henry,
with the result that the young man 5
enthusiasm rapidly abated."
