MANY BECOME
Returned Convict Says Several Are
Sent Each Week From Joliet.

Returned convicts from Joliet say
that the men they left behind them are
dying like flies in the falling of the
year. The action of the legislature
which leaves them without employment
is driving them all crazy.
One convict, just out, states that
they are sending 10 and IL a week
from Joliet to the asylum for the Grim
inal insane at Chester. If his story be
true, it is one at which the people of
this state should rise up in revolt. He
says that immured in their dungeons
with nothing to occupy their minds the
men go mad, and that at the present
writing horrible condition of affairs
exists in the state penitentiary. At
the present rate they will all go crazy
before this year runs its course and the
asylum at Chester be filled to over
flowing.

Brooklyn Affairs.
Because of the great demands Of his
bowling business upon his time it was
reported that Charles II. Ebbetts, pres
dent Of the Brooklyn Baseball club,
would resign the cares of office and de-
vote all his energy TO his bowling af-
fairs 1t is granted that Mr.. Ebbetts Is
tOlerably busy man. His bowling al
Ieys and the other work which he does
gratis for bowlers in general are quite
enough to take up all Of one individu-
ais working hours, but Mr. Ebbetts
hasn't the slightest notion Of retiring
from the baseball business. On the con
trary, he will be at Washington park
this summer. and If he preserves his
healch he will be there for several
summers to come, according TO his Idea
OF the matter.
Those who have been foremost in try
Ing to make 1t appear that Brooklyn
Is rather lost to the baseball world be-
cause Of the light attendance OF the
past two seasons seem to be RESPONSE
BILE for this rumor In connection with
Mr.. Ebbetts IAN awful lot Of energy
is being wasted" said he. Gin the effort
to wipe Brooklyn of the baseball map.
1 know personally that those who are
behind the club are not quite ready to
quit just yet. In fact, I wouldn't be
surprised II they were in the National
league just as long as or perhaps longer
than some Of the other owners. Brook
Ign isn't worrying about its chances.

that will keep the other fellows worry

A New Use for Sugar.

a novel use for sugar has recently
been found in England, and solutions of
this substance have been shown to be
most effective for preserving timber.
The process consists in placing the tim
Der in a boiler and then pumping in a
solution of beet sugar, which enters the
wood, taking the place of the air and
being thus treated is then heated in
an oven and dried. the drying depend
ing upon the variety of the wood.
The result of the treatment is that
all kinds of wood are made tougher,
heavier and more durable, while, in
particular, soft woods are thus rem
dered not only more useful, but also
more ornamental when planed and pol
ished.
An important application of the treat
ment is to fresh and unseas0ned tim
Der, which then can be used Immediate
ly without danger of warping or shrink
ing. The sugar permeates the wood so
thoroughly that it ceases to be porous,
and, consequently, more sanitary, while
the treated timber is under many con-
ditions much stronger. Resistance to
dry rot is another claim made for this
treatment, and it is also believed that
by adding poison to the sugar solution
it will be rendered proof against Ger
tain ants and other insects which are
very destructive of timber in tropical
countries.-Harper's Weekly

Handy With Fists.

NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-''Mike" Do
novan. dean of boxers, has returned
from Washington, where he boxed
with the President for an hour every
afternoon for four days. 1t was the
first of a series of bouts which are
to continue this week and next. Dono-
van talked of his experience reluctant
ly.
1T was the first time I had boxed
with Mr.. Roosevelt since he was Gov
ernor," he said. IF anybody tells you
he's an easy mark, don't believe it He
knows how to use his head, too. I
never saw a man pick up faster than
| he in these four days.
Don't mind hitting me- he said
right at the start, I want you to hit
me as often as you can, and don't
mind how hard, either We started off
in good fashion, and every time we hit
each other he laughed good naturally.
1t was not any tapping, tell you
They We're good hard blows, the sort
that you wouldn't run into knowingly.
We had seven-ounce gloves. The
President took his part of it always
with a laugh.
''I never saw a pleasanter man, or
one who gets more enjoyment out of
the thing. He had as much fun as
boy, and he laughed and joked all the
time. He's a fighter, and knows how
to give and take blows. He doesn't try
to knock a man out, but he does like
to know he has hit him. He kept me
busy, and I was not running into any
of his blows, either. Don't get the idea
that [ was there to teach him, not by
any means. He is a veteran boxer and
can hold his own with the best of them
in the clubs. I know few men who box
regularly in athletic clubs who can
worst him.
Il have arranged to go down several
more times to box with him and to
give lessons to Theodore, Jr.''

STRIKE CONTINUES
FACTORIES Still Shut down AT
WARSAW, RUSSIA.
Chief Of Police says Strikers Must
Work or Return Home-The Men
Are Out Of Money-Worst Troubles
Are Probably Over-Sunday a Quiet
Day in City Of St. Petersburg.

Warsaw, Feb. l3-Baron Won
Nolken, chief of police of Warsaw
who has returned from conference
with Governor General Tchertkoff of
the province of Warsaw, gave the AS.
sociated Press the following details re.
gardng the state of affairs in this dis.
trict
"The strike continues in all Of the
big factories. Tomorrow the manu-.
facturers are coming to me to discuss
the situation, and Tuesday l propose
seeing some representatives of the
strikers.
Unless the strikers return to work
the police will expel all of those liv.
ing outside Of the Warsaw district. If
they will not work they must go home.
The men have no money. and it seems
impossible that the strike can continue
much longer. Our task is one of great
difficulty. We are not fighting an
economic, but a political movement,
having its origin in St Petersburg.
THE worst troubles. however, are
probably over. Small disturbances
may break out here and there, but not
on such scale as the earlier riots
here"
Private kilograms received from
Dombrova say that all the factories
there are closed. Thirty thousand wag.
on loads of ore are standing on the
railway tracks. and the freight traf-
fc of the Vistua line must be sus-
pending unless the wagons are re-
moved.
The coal supply is the most Urgent
question in Warsaw since the Sosno.
vice strike began. Governor General
Tchertkoff today received a telegram
from Emperor Nicholas permitting
him to import coal free of duty from
Silesia for fortnight, and orders
were Immediately dispatched to the
Silesian mines. A telephone message
received from LOdz says that all is
quiet. but that the manufacturers are
convinced that the strikers have no in
tentiOn to return to work Monday.

1t is given out that bill will be
introduced in the legislature of the
state of Washington asking the state
to appropriate 100000 for the i'm
provement of the upper Columbia and
the Snake rivers.
It is claimed in this connection that
while Oregon has spent over 100000
towards the improvement of naviga-
tion on the lower reaches of the Co
lumbia. Washington has not spent a
cent toward the Improvement Of this
great waterway. which will be Of much
greater benefit to her, 1t Is argued,
than it can ever be to Oregon. since
a much greater proportion of Wash
ington than Of Oregon Is closely af-
fected by the improvement in facili-
ties for transportation by these rivers.
