SOME BIG BITES.
They Show the Power of the Jaws OFF
the Crocodile.

They Show the Power of the Jaws OFF
the Crocodile.
The power of the jaws of the croce-
ollie is terrific. says Sir Samuel Baker
in his book on wild beasts.
Once, he continues. he had the metal
of a large hook the thickness of ordina-
~ telegraph wire completely bent to-
gether, the barbed point being pressed
tightly against the shank and rendered
useless. This compression was caused
by the snap of the jaws when selling
Il live duck which he had used as a
bait, the hook being fastened beneath
one wing. On one occasion he found a
fish weighing seventy pounds bitten
clean through as if divided by a knife.
This, again. was the work of the snap
of the jaws of crocodile
A Frenchman. NJ. Paul Bert. once
made experiments on the strength of a
crocodile's Jaws by means of a dyna-
mometer. He found that crocodile
weighing 100 pounds exerted a force of
30S pounds in closing his jaws. The
lion has an enormous jaw power. On
one occasion an African traveller push
ed the butt end of his gun into n lions
mouth. and the pressure of the jaws
cracked it as though it had been struck
by a steam hammer

An OLD PRoNERB. y
"a Penny Saved Is Penny Earned"
Is Almost Universal.

Like mosc of these wise old proverbs,
"a penny saved is a penny earned IS
probably, in some form or other, uni
versaI In Germany there are three
forms of it-"A penny saved is penny
gained" c'Ersparter Pfennig ist so gut
vie erworbene'0 a penny saved is
twopence got C'Ein esparter Pfennig
penny's brother (tPfennig ist Pfen-
nig's Bruder'). In Spanish, a penny
spared is a penny saved ("Quien come
v dexa, dos yeces pone In mesa'0- In
Dutch. "A penny spared is better tlran
n form gained C'Een stuiver gespaard
is better dan cen gulden gewonnen'0.
In Danish a penny III time is as good
as a dollar" CEN SHILLING er Tide saa
god som en- Daler'D. In French, Say
ing is getting (~Qui epargne, gagne'o.
Similarly in German, Saving is
greater art than gaining" c'Sparen ist
grossere kunst ais erwerben'D. Danish,
Money saved is as good as money
gained (.'Den Penge man sparer err
saa god som den man avler'o. Italian,

Was Found Guilty of Being a
Public Nuisance and Civ
en- Sixteen LasheS.
PROPER RULES FOLLOWED.
ELOQUENT PLEAS MADE BY LON
FISHER AND FRANK Galley,
WHO TOOK RAPS AT THE REAL
CITY COURT.

Jim Phillips of Cambridge City, who
is serving time in the county Jail for
"boot-legging' whiskey on Sunday,
was tried in the county Jail few
nights ago by jury of his fellow
prisoners on a charge of being pub
lie nuisance and was found guilty and
sentenced to receive sixteen lashes
with a razor strap. The sentence was
duly executed despite the bowls OF
the victim This statement was made
today by Sheriff Meredith.
The trial was carried out in accord
ance with the rules which prevail at
the circuit and city courts, those TAX
ing part in the trial being perfectly IA
miliar with the proceedings from past
experiences. The case was given a
hearing in a most impressive manner,
and Sheriff Meredith states that the
arguments by the attorneys were as
eloquent as could be given by any of
the shining lights of the Wayne
county bar.
Phillips was defended by Lon Fisher,
a bright young colored man, who is
serving a long sentence for insulting
white woman. Prosecutor Jeessup
was impersonated by Frank Galley, a
book agent. released from the Jail yes
terday. after serving time for obtain
ing money under false pretenses The
Judge of the court was big Tom Fred
ericks. who is now out on bond await
ing trial on a charge of petit larceny.
Fredericks to look impressive and jul
dicial. appropriated a pair of specta-
cles used by Jim Jordan, a one-eyed
prisoner Jim has only one lens in
his specs having taken out the lens
which covered his bad eye, to use in
the event that the one necessary lens
is ever broken.
Galley prosecuted Phillips in a most
vigorous manner and was followed by
Fisher, who held the jury spell-bound
by his eloquence. He made a great
on the jury by denouncing
Judge Converse, Prosecutor Jessup,
Pauper Attorney Freeman and others,
roo court" Fishers maSterful argu-
ment saved his client from receiving
thirty or forty lashes from the razor
strap. When asked who impersonat-
ed the sheriff, Meredith stated that this
part was taken by Bill Empke, an in
sane man Sheriff Meredith states
that nearly every prisoner is brough to
trial in til Jail. Theprisoners find
this an entertaining way to pass the
time. Phillips sentence. however,
was an unusually severe one.

DruIdS Do Not Expect to Lose
BY Bad Weather.
RESULT OF THE CONTEST.

Although the weather has savored
of everything else but carnival during
the past week. the crowds at the Dru-
ids event ON East Main street, have
been large aud it is expected that a
neat sum viii be cleared for the order,
but nothing like that which it was ex-
pected would be realized. The Dru-
ids. with the exception of d single
night. have been hucking the weather
man.
Should there be a large crowd at
the carnival this afternoon and to-
night as seems probable, the Druids
will clear a respectable sum off their
venture and make Ii really pay for
the time and work the many members
have done.
