INTERNAL MACHINE
Intended For An Atlanta Girl Was
Opened by Her Mother.

Atlanta has another sensation on
hand. Fred Bush, arrested for send
ing an Internal machine to the home
of his sweetheart, Miss Kate Nc
Carthy, was said to have been identi-
fed by a negro messenger boy, who
said he received the package from a
man who looked like Bush and who
stood in the street after sending in
the call. The machine exploded
when Mrs. Mccarthy, mother Of the
girl opened the package and the
house was almost demolished.
The negro said he had instructions
not to send the box until Thursday
morning but it went out last night
by mistake. Miss Mccarthy was at
the theater, and her mother received
the package instead An attempt to
open it resulted in an explosion which
shattered the interior of the home
and threw Mrs. Mccarthy across the
hall into the room where twins were
sleeping. She suffered serious in
iuries, but will recover.
Bush is business partner OF Z.
V. Doolittle, a commission merchant
who accompanied Miss Bush to the
theater. Bush, when arrested, dem.
ed any knowledge of the lnternal
machine. The box was Of oak, elgnt
inches long. 1t contained dynam1te
and a pistol so arranged as 10 eA-
plode when the box was opened;
The concussion shook the whole

PIGNIIES LIKE APES.
Explorer Finds Very Low Type OF
Man in Tropical Africa.

In his report to the British Foreign
Office on condition in the Congo Free
State. Viscount Mountmorres, writes
of pigmies that represents the lowest
type of man. They look like apes
and were it not for the fact that they
shoot with bows and provide shelter
for the women of their tribes and
their children they would be taken
for apes. The explorer saw them
only for few minutes, but he is the
first man who ever saw enough Of
them to write concerning their exist
ence. The explorer covered 3,4O0
miles in canoe and on foot. He takes
hopeful view of the future of the
Congo native.
1t was while on the Uangi river
tnat he found the pygmies. He was
forcing his way through the brush
when he was annoyed By the falling
of small arrows. He looked IN the
trees and saw what he thought was
a numebr of chipanzes springins
from branch to branch. They were
about three feet nine inches tall
They showed their teeth do and chat
tired something that may have been
their language. The explorer had lit
tie chance to investigate them as be
would have been compelled to fire IN
selfdefence, if he had remained under
the trees. He found that they live
in trees. Their shelters were built II
forks of trees and were made 0y
plating the smaller boughs. The
little men and women wore no cloth

A WOMAN JAILER.
She lives Alone in House Connected
With the Prison.

Rhode Island has within its. bor-
ders woman jailer who is well on
in years, but who manages the most
unruly prisoners, as well as any man
could. She is Mrs. Evelyn G. Smith
and she lives in the old penal insti-
tuition known as the Kent county
ajil, in East Greenwich. She has
lived there all her life and by the
looks of things will continue to make
that her abode until she goes to the
grave
The old jail was erected in Kent
county about 100 years ago. It con-.
sists of a-two and a half story house
of boX-like type. In the rear there
S wing made of bricks in which the
cells are found. Mrs. Smith lives
in the house and has sole charge of
the Jail and its occupants. She is
able to hold her position as jailer
efficiently, probably from inherited
ability in that line Of work. Sixty
five yeas ago the old jail was presid-
ed iver by Earl Page, a granduncle
of Mrs Smith. Then title to the
property and the position of jailer
passed to her grandfather, then to
her father, and upon his death to her
husband. When the latter died there
was no other surviving member of
the family, and, as Mrs. Smith had
been raised in the jail and knew all
about caring for the prisoners, the
county authorities gave her the Office
that she would fill it as well
as any man could:
