After Serving 25 Years in Sing Sing
Sees Light Again.

New Yorl September 25.-zAway
from the w orld for quarter OF a
century, clio. ed in by cold stone walls,
then sudaefsly set free to breathe
clear air, to feel the bright sunlight
and see the monuments to Progress
erected in a great city. was the expe-
rience Of Michael Hackett, 2, former
Grated from Sing Sing prison to-day
after serving twenty-five years of q
life sentence for murder.
In all those years SHackett had
caught no glimpse OF the outside
world and had obtained all bis Inn
pressions of Its advancemnt from oc-
easional papers and magazines. In
I 1882 there were no skyscrapers, troll
ley carssor automobiles and Hackett's

Like q child he gazed, wondered
was that an automobile that
flashed by? What funny noises It
makes Is that the gasoline SMELL?
How fest can It run? You see I

exclaimed. Then his next remark be-
trayed the fact that he had been in
the world before. "Of Course, the
women themselves are lovely" he
said, "but i don't like their clothes.
Those rich colors are too flashy, the
skirts are queer, and those big hats
make them appear topheavy. think
the women of 25 years ago were
more becomingly attired and looked
sweeter.' s
Some of Hackett's experiences were
pathetic. He hadn't had pocket in
his clothes in 25 years, and he felt
about In constant fear that he would

derby hat made his head ache, and
when he took his first look at the big

SPENT LIFETIME Ar WORK.
President sloan, OF the Laclawanna,
Died I'm Harness.

. y \ -NaI'l
New York, September "a. Samuel
Sloan, chairman OF the Board OF Di-
rectors of the Delaware, Lackawanna
and Westefn Railroad, and ex-presi-
dent OF the road. who has just died
at his summer home at Garrison-on-
the-Hudson, spent so of his SO years
Of life in active railroad work and
only ceased to be engaged In 1t a.
short time before his death.
In his long career, he Joined forces
one time or another, with men whose
names are conspicuous In the finan-
cial history of New York. At one
time or another he was directly ASSOC
ciated with Jay Gould, Russell Sage,
Commodore Vanderbilt and Others,
and he outlived them all and was
still at work long after q second, and
in the case OF the Yanderbilts, even a
third generation, had succeeded the
men with whom ne had been associa-
ted.
Mr.. Sloan's interests were large,
and he will always be remembered
for his presidency OF the Lackawan-
ma. 1t was a relatively unimportant
road when he became it's head, but
he built up until its stock sold very
high, really higher than that OF any
other railroad in the country.
He was man of marked charac-.
teristics. Not the least of these was
he who made the Lackawanna con-
spicuous during his administration
because Of its having no Sunday
trains. Il s.
4 II would not work. myself on Sun
day" YVES his explanation, ''and do
not see why the uen under me should
be made to work on Sunday"
Vacations were unknown to the
head Of the Lackawanna road. 1t
was not that he was opposed to them
but he said: 81 was too busy when
first went to work keeping my Job
to have time for vacations, and later
! was too busy with my work to
have any" 81
He preached what he did not prac-
tice in this respect, however, for he
told young men that vacations were q
modern improvement of which they
ought to make full use.
I Mr.. Sloan believed also firmly that
good work had It's reward. "Any
young man of fair ability he said
a few, years ago, who Is honest and
industrious, cannot only make g liy-
Ing, but fortune in New York, in
spite of the great competition hs..Sc"
Mr., Sloan was loyal to Ireland, his
native land, all Of his long life, and
he was delighted four years ago to be
elected member Of the Friendly
Sons of st. Patrick.
In 1897 the employees of the Lack
awanna road presented him with a
solid gold tea set, which Is said to
have cost $100,0o0. s.,

SO years old. Before she was at

149 pounds. She now weighs 525
pounds and is gaining daily in size.
Her skin is thick, hard and coarse,
like an elephants.
The disease first manifested itself
seven years ago. 1t began with an
itching In one Of her legs. This
ceased after a time. but 1t was pres
emily followed by swelling of the
limb, accompanied by pain. Then
she took on weight rapidly. The
Dcdy, arms and legs have baen the
parts effected, but not her face. She
thou ght herself growing fnt from ma
turai causes, but could not account
for the pain which attended her in
crease in bulk. Two years ago she
found she weighed $50 pounds, and
then, In Alarm, she resorted to medi-
cines and dieting, but these measures
were of no avail. A week ago a ply
sician diagnosed her trouble as ele-
phantiasis.

DEAR OLD WV TING FANG.
His Appointment as Minister at
Washington Has Been Announced.

81 Pekin, September 24---The ap-
pointment Of Wu Ting Fang to his
former post as minister at Washing
ton was gazetted to-day.
The appointment was made late yes
terday. The Americans here ascribe
the action taken by the Throne to
the friendliness of the American
press to WI. and express indiffer-
ence regarding his reappointment.
After leaving Washington Wu held
the lowest ministerial post In the for
eign Office and was transferred to
subordinate post In the board of pun
ishments, where he brought about a
revision of the penal cod and some
civil codes and framed regulations
governing limited liability compa-
MES, which are all said to be of
questionable value, as the effect Of
their operation in China Is not likely
to be Of any real use, and so far they
have amounted to nearly nothing.

Conrt Order Includes Attorney Gene
raj and Everybody.

st. Paul, September 24.- Judge
Lochren of the United States Court
to-day issued an order for an iniurc-,
tion. which absolutely ties up the
States commodity rate law, pending
o final decree In the case, or until the
lower courts decision,is oyerruled on
appeal by the State.
Order is Sweeping.
The oSder Is sweeping in Its terms,
taking ih, not only the defendants at
bar, including the Attorney General
and shippers who were made parties
to the actions, but all other persons
AS well. HIS means that even though
the county attorneys throughout the
State, whose duty 1t is to institute
and prosecute criminal actions under
the law, were not made parties de-
fendant in the suits Instituted by the
railroads through their stockholders,
yet, the county attorneys and every
body else are warned To keep their
hands off the railroads while Judge
Lochren's order is In effect. Not only
Is everybody enjoined "fron taking
or tnstituting or causing or advising
to be instituted any action, suit stop,
or proceeding for the violation OF
said act, but anybody and everybody
Is enjoined from demanding that any
OF the rates contained in the act be
given to them"
Big Fight Ahead.
The order ISSUED to-day relates to
the Northern Pacific case. Similar
orders will be drawn In the other
eight cases and injunctions Will be
served In accordance with the orders.
1t is reported to-day that the State
officials are planning to violate the
Injunction in such a manner that ha-
beas corpus proceedings will have to
be instituted I'm which event the case
will at once be appealed to the Unit
ted States Supreme Court, and the
whole matter determined there in
stead of going through the usual rou-
tine, LISTING probably three years.
