There have been no developments of

Dynamite Blast Rips Jan.

BY setting off q blast of dynamite
which tore big hole in the wall and,
only for an unforeseen circumstance,
would have cleared the way to free
dom, the prisoners in the Somerset
County Prison, Somerville, made
desperate effort to bring about gen.
eral Jail delivery. That they failed
was due to the fact that the night
keeper, William Moore, was standing
not far away from the place when the
explosion occurred and immediately
began shooting at the hole blown in
the prison wall 1t was the second
time recently that an attempt had
been made to release prisoners from
the Jail. The Jail authorities say the
explosive was set on a window sill
from the outside, but the greatest
driving force seems to have been out
ward and many think one of the pris-
oners placed the dynamite and fred
it and that the explosive had been in
the jail for some time. The bricks
from the wall below the window were
blown thirty feet away. The hole
torn in the wall was big enough for a
man to pass through easily, and at
least one prisoner would have gotten
away but for the fact that the night
keeper was in the jail yard and within
ten feet of the hole. When the first
prisoner poked his head through the
hole Moore fired and the head was
withdrawn Then Moore, backed by
a crowd which quickly assembled at
the noise of the explosion and the
shot, stood guard until the prisoners
inside had all been placed in separate
cells. The explosion took place about
o'clock D. m. At that time there
were nine prisoners in the corridor,
and Deputy Keeper John Z. Ander-
son was about to place them in their
cells for the night. The other pris-
oners already had been locked in, and
the nine others, apparently by design,
were at the point in the corridor which
was nearest to the window which
later was blown out. When the ex-
plosion took place Frank Lahey, who
is charged with assault and highway
robbery, made a dive for the opening,
and would have got away, even if no
one else did, only for the fact that
Moore was on the outside. Lahey re-
treated after the shot had been fired
at him, and he was one of the first to
be hustled to his cell. Just a month
ago a prisoner by the name of Regan,
said to have been a chum of Lahey,
dug almost through wall in his cell
and was discovered on the last night
of his work by Moore Moore heard
a noise, which caused an investigation
the following morning and the discov-
cry of the weakened wall. Twenty
prisoners, it is said, were engaged in
that plan to break away during the
day, all scattering, each taking his
chances of escape in the confusion
which would ensue.

Obedience a HeIp.

There Is a woman down in Indiana
Eho is hale and hearty at the age OF
l00 and when she was asked to what
she attributed her age and health she
'eplied, obedience" And this, too,
1t time when the women are having
he word ''obey" taken out Of the mar
riage service and in other ways mani
testing the most supreme contempt for
the old obligation 1t is not to be be-
lieved that there are many women who
will care to drag out an existence of
100 years in state of obedience, even
If fair degree Of health is assured.
The holy scriptures do not tell us how
long the women lived, although we
know that Sarah survived until she
was 127 and was so obedient that the
Lord blessed her with Isaac when she
was 90 And 1t is fair to suppose that
other good Hebrew wives were equally
long lived and successful Thus we
sec that obedience is of be utmost
Importance to the human race and is
the source of happiness and prosper
ity. Still the women of this age are
extremely stiff-necked aud unreason
able.

With mys thoughts fixed upon the ap-

from my house, scarcely needing the
direction in which l was walking.

musings, which must have so occupied
my mind that must have walked for
an hour before knew where l was.
The gathering gloom recalled me to
myself, and looking around, saw That
was in Iyybush Lane. 1t did not and
would not have struck me that this
was the place in which Samuel Fleet
wood had informed me that Mile. Ros-
allie, was in the habit of meeting some
unknown man had it noE been that
my eyes suddenly fell upon her as
gazed around. She was standing at
some little distance from me, and
must have come upon her and her COM
paniOn unaware-for she was not alone;
man was with her whom ] immedi-
ately recognized to be Redwing. More
over, she was in that mans embrace.
His arm was around her and he was
kissing her lips at the moment of my
approach. They saw me as ] saw
them, and they fell apart from each
other. Without word turned and
proceeded in the direction of my house.
Now, at any other time should have
regarded this discovery as serious, and
should not have allowed it to pass
without asking Mile. Rosalie for an
explanation, but / am constrained to
confess that in my then mood at

what way did Mile. Rosalie's love in
trigues affect me and why should /
add those to my already overpowering
anxieties? That was the sense in
which viewed the adventure. But if
/ did not speak to Mile. Rosalie of the
incident, she did not allow it to pass
by in silence.
1t was night. Harry Clanronald had

nothing unusual in this; had often
done the like.

baton. The case was one which she
had presented to me in former years,

A Boston suggestion as to Etiauette.

Do you think it might help to decrease
the cases of pneumonia in our Geld
country if the leading ladies hereabouts
would say that during the winter sea-
son men might omit the customary
lifting of their hats IN the street when
bowing to them?
In town in Sweden the respectful
dofing of the hat has been declared
unnecessary through the winter sea-
son by prominent ladies-but there a
gentleman will iinsist on having his hat
in his hand during his conversation
with lady. The Swedish ladies, at
all events, believed that they have in
troduced an important health measure
into social life.
Undoubtedly many Boston men who
have found themselves called upon to
raise their hats dozen times on
windy day coming down fremont
street and passing through West street
have wondered if their next attack of
influenza would not be the result Of
this manner of showing respect to the
fair sex. Boston Evening Transcript.

The problem of a naval personnel is
serious and demands earnest consid-
eration, asserts the Washington Star.
Over $4,000 seamen are necessary to
man our ships, built and building, and
at present the law authorizes the en-
listment of only 31,500- Each year
5000 additional seamen have been au-
thorized, 1000 being desired, but that
number is not deemed possible on ac-
count of present facilities for training.
Ships of war are machines demanding
highly trained men. If naval con-
Efiict should come suddenly the problem
of providing these skilled seamen
would be peculiarly perplexing to the
United States.

! The moral which Bismarck pointed
again and again, in referring to his
making peace with Austria in 1866, the
Japanese have signally illustrated, says
the New York Evening Post. They
have not imperilled their future by
grasplng too greedily at present adj
vantage. They have made peace on
basis which will enable them to live
ON good terms with a nation that must
long be their neighbor, and which is so
moderate in its nature that it may
even lea2 the way, as in the case of
Austria and Prussia, to an alliance be-
tween the former belIigerents. This
may not be generosity to a foe, strictly
speaking; it may be only enlightened
selfishness; but it is craftsmanship Of
the highest order.
