THIEVES SCHOOL INSIDE PRISON.

notorious criminal, has been removed
to Dannemora prison from the state
prison at Ashburn. The climate did
not agree with him at Auburn and
either on account of that or the prison
fare his stomach became affected,
causing much sickness and discom-
fort.
Whiteman was sent to Jail two years
ago for stealing $3.50 from a trust
company of Buffalo He is a native
of Danville, n T.. and was graduate
of Hamilton college.
The superintendent of the Auburn
prison says Whiteman is one of the
most intellectual men he has ever met.
When first taken to the prison he was
put to teaching in the prison school.
1t was ascertained soon, it is stated,
that he was teaching some of the stu
dents on the sly to work the banks
for an easy living when they were
once liberated. So Whiteman's career

FEW BACHELOR MAIDS LEFT AT
HANCOCK, MASS.
Only Four Now Remain In Quiet Little
Town, the Other Four Having
Played the Summer Game
Very Probably.

Plttsfield, Mass.-The announce
ment the same day of four engage
ments in the town of Hancock de-
velops the fact that outside of the
Shaker settlement in the quiet little
town on the west slope of the Tacon-
les there are only four girls of mar
riageable age in the village. There are
424 souls in the town, and of these all
but so or so live outside the sleepy lit
tie village. There were eight girls in
the town who were eligible. Then
Mabel G. Eldrdge announced her en-
gagement to Joseph G. Turner; her
sister, Alice L. Eldridge, announced
that she was to be married to Robert
p. Easland; Miss Dora K Gardner said
she was to become the bride of Arthur
G. Lewis, and Mr.. Turner's brother is
to marry Miss Emily Thomas.
The four remaining girls of the &C.
tet are Misses Julia Claiming, 90;
Marian Hopewell, 10; Anastasia Gal
lagher. %, and Sophronia Easton, who
declines to give her age.
But the girls are not bachelor maids
because they have no admirers. Han
cock Is splendid summer resort, and
Mics Easton said:
The other four girls announced
their engagement recently. | suppose
our four could have done the same,
but we don't believe in summer en-
gagements. Besides, when we become
really and truly engaged, we will go
outside of this town. You know the
boys here are not very swell and there
is no place for them to earn money
except on the farm. We have only a
small shop and one store. so l don t
see how we could very well accept
their proposals. But proposals-we'ye
had more than care to tell you of.
Photographs? Well, l guess not.
We are all right here now, but if you
publish our pictures folks will think
We are advertising ourselves"

REMOVING HORNS FROM CATTLE.
Better to Let Them Grow and Then
Dehorn Than to Prevent Growth.

Many who write on this subject
recommend the removal of horns, so
to speak, by preventing them from
growing. This sounds well, but it Is
at least open to question as to wheth.
er it is better to prevent horns from
growing by the application of some
caustic material or to take them Off
at a later period.
To prevent horns from growing is
not in all instances the easy task that
some persons imagine it to be. If too
much caustic potash, which Is gener-
ally used, is applied, it will burn too
deeply. If too little is applied the
horns will not be sufficiently checked.
and a second application will be nee
essary. Many of those who have used
this application have not used it with
entire success. The result has been
miniature horns that have been more
or less deformed. The caustic is more
or less dangerous to handle. Ii any
of it should reach any other part, and
this is easily possible unless the
calves are isolated, it will remove the
hair 1t is also very easy to injure the
fingers unless great care is exercised
in handling the potash, and it must
be kept with care or it will waste.
But there is the strong objection, says
Orange Judd Farmer, to such dehorn-
ing arising from the fact that animals
dehorned young learn to push with
the head and to strike in way that
they would not If the horns were al
lowed to grow until they can punch
just a little with them and they are
then cut off The loss of the horns
seems to discourage them SO much
that it takes all of the fight out OF
them. The most docile animals by
far are those who have lost their
horns after they have come to know
how they could use them.

FraternitIes and sororlties.

It is only within comparatively re-
lege, and especially to high school,
fraternities, sororities and secret So
cieties has manifested any strength or
conference; but now 1t has reached
stage where 1t is almost national in
its extent. During legislative sessions
of the past winter at least half
dozen states passed laws prohibiting
such organizations in public schools,
and in several other states there have
been court decisions unfolding the
them, by excluding the members from
school and class honors and from
school athletics. The charges against
the fraternities and sororities are old
enough to be well established says
Youths Companion. Snobbishness.
inattention to school work, extrava-
gance. and the fostering of a spirit
which gives allegiance to a clique
rather than to school or class, are
among them; and there are signs that
49,
fully studied the matter not merely
the societies in the schools, but those
in the colleges, are in disfavor. The
feeling does not extend to all the col
leges, by any means, for conditions
vary greatly. Some societies are al
most IL not wholly free from the
charges which lie against others, and
have grown to fill useful and whole
some place. But for secret societies
in high schools 1t is hardly possible to
find any good excuse. 1t is curious,
since school committees find so much
difficulty in suppressing these socie-
ties, that parents have exerted SO lit
tie influence in opposition to them.
The root Of the matter lies in the
home, not In the school committee
room; and when the fathers and moth
ers take the interest in the matter
which they, should take, appeals to
state courts will not be necessary

Follows Master Through Crowded
Streets of Washington

Washington.-A large Chinese goose
was seen wandering along Pennsyl-
vania avenue and up Fourteenth
street few nights ago. apparently
following its own inclinations in TAX
ing stroll. Its owner was near, but
no sign Of his presence was given I'M
til one friend greeted another by plac-
ing his hands on his shoulders. At
this movement the goose suddenly
darted forward in defense of the man
thus approached.
He is A. A. Bibb, of 800 Tenth
street northwest, and Doc" is the
name of the bird. Doc" is his mas
ter's pet. He came to Washington
about eight months ago in crate
filled with geese. and as soon as Mr.
BIB saw him he was chosen for a
career that does not usually fall to
the lot of his kind, But Doc" did not
realize the honors in store for him. As
soon as released. he flew away, soar
ing over the tops of buildings until he
was lost to sight. He was recaptured
near the Smithsonian grounds and re-
turned to his owner. His wings were
clipped. and there were no more at
tempts to escape. Docs" longing for
liberty apparently disappeared with
his means to enjoy 1t, and he has now
taken on many of the habits of a
Washingtonian.
Doc" is a fine looking, swan-like
bird and weighs about 20 pounds. AL
most every afternoon, when the side
walks are cool, Doc" is taken out
for a stroll. He usually keeps in
front of Mr.. Rfbb, and picks his way
through the biggest of crowds with
apparently no fear of becoming lost
or trampled upon. If his owner be-
comes lost from sight. even for a mo-

New York, came to this city to wed
Emily Jackson, but when he reached
town the marriage license office was
closed and the wedding was post
poned.
Marshall Richardson, who was aIsn
sutton, heard of Jones being IN
town, and of Emily's intention to
marry him. This did not deter him
from calling on the girl, and he was
so persuasive that Emily changed her
mind and dismissed Jones. Richard

license and they were married.

HINTS FOR FARM HORSES.

Never shout at a young horse while
training him.
well grown yearling is worth
more than a stunted two-year-old.
Keep the colts feet in good shape
Do not let the toes become too long.
Irregular feeding makes thin
horses, no matter what amount is
given.
The oat box should be large. with
broad bottom. SO that the oats will
scatter and not be bolted
The brood mare should have few
hours exercise in the yard or on the
road every day. 1t does not pay to
keep her confined.
The horses and colts should be kept
away from the hens and hogs. The
odor of the pigpen is offensive to the
horse, and hen lice are hard to Grad
icate.
See to it that the work collars fit
and that they are kept soft and clean
There are few things more discourag
ing in the beginning of busy season
than horses with sore shoulders, and
this vexation and cruelty can be
avoided by the exercise of proper
care.
