terday.

MERCER, Pa, May 7.-As Mrs.
Boyle, who is charged with kidnap-
ing Willie Whitla, was being taken.
from the court room last night mo1'
of excited women attempted to aasouIf
her. The angered women strsed'
around the prisoner screaming Get
a rope" and Tar and feather her."
Prompt action by the sheriff and his
deputies saved her from rough usage.
"My should be pleased with that re-
ception," was Mrs. Boyle's only CON-
ment. Her trial continues today.
To prevent any attack on her Mrs.
Boyle was taken to court in a closed
cab. Willie Whitla, was the first wit
ness and he repeated the testimony
he gave in the Jas. Boyle case. He
identified Mrs. Boyle as the nurse
who cared for him. All the testimony
is practically the same as that given
yesterday in the case against the "
mans husband.

LOUISIANA EDITORS
PAY Their RESPECTS
The Latter Entertained At Breakfast
This orning At the st. Charles Hotel
BY Editor of the New Orleans Times
Democrat.

NEW ORLEANS, May MANY
thousands of visitors inspected the
battleship Mississippi, including the
Louisiana editors, as the big warship
Nay at anchor at the wharf after a
successful trip up the river.
The editors were the members OF
the Louisiana Editorial Association on
their way back home after their an
nual meeting at Covington, La. They
were breakfasted at the st. Charles
Hotel as the guests of Page M. Baker,
editor of the New Orleans Times-Dem-
ocrat. A hundred or more guests were
at the festive board and there was or
atory as well as good things to eat.
Governor Sanders was the principal
speaker He told the editors that it
gave him pleasure to be with them as
he himself had once lived off the cab
bages, watermelons and potatoes
which the subscribers had brought in
lieu of their subscriptions and had
known what it was to write up Tom
Jones' visit to the city and Bill Smiths
prize calf, with the pleasure of setting
up the type on Friday and turning
the old Washington hand press on
Saturday.
"Now," said the governor I'm not
telling you all this to remind you Of
of your hard lot while you are here
among all these rich city newspaper
1men, daughter but as one of you I
\recall the story of prize lying con-
test in which many yarns had been
spun, when one fellow got up to tell
his story and begin once upon a time
there was a wealthy country editor
right there was where they stopped
him he could go no farther. They
gave him the prize for the biggest lie
on these few words" Then the as
semblage drank to the health of the
State of Louisiana and adjourned.

CANDY and snuff
WAS NOT enough
So They Carried Off a Little Of
Everything That Looked Good or
Seemed to Please Them, Including a
Graphaphone.

With an energy and persistence
worthy of rich plunder in reach, bur-
glars last night broke into the fruit
and candy stand of Y. ]. York, No. 400
Main street.
Whether or not the boy who made
the entrance worked under the direc-
tion of a man, had not developed this
morning at the time the police were
investigating the affair. AS soon as
he had been notified, Chief Williams
was on the ground with two or three
officers examining into the methods
used in getting into the place and in
making an inventory of the stuff car.
ried off.
That a small boy made the en-
trance there is no apparent doubt, un-
less it was done by a man of very
slender build as entrance to the store
room was made through a hole the
width of about a seven inch plank in
the flooring of the attic.
The determined thieves bungled
their job first by trying to pry open
the rear door with a short bar Of iron
foot or two long somewhat thicker
at one end than at the other. The
jagged marks on the edge Of the
door show that a number of efforts
had been made to do this, but the sue
cess of this job was prevented by the
strong wooden bar across the door on
the inside.
Failing here, the small boy either
went under or was sent under the
platform rear porch, which was just
high enough from the ground to allow
a person to crawl under. IN the
ground under the store floor were
found marks of bare knees and the
imprint of knee pants. At this point
the operator with the iron bar had
industriously tried to spring plank
in the store flooring, but this effort
also failed.
Evidently bent on getting inside the
thieves looked for other ways of eff
fecting this after they had gone into
little uncovered place where empty
boxes were stored. Here they found
no loose plank on the side wall to ait
them. Then, apparently they lit Oh
to what suited their purpose. This
was light ladder which Mr.. Yorl
had left on the outside leaning agains

Conditions at the western peniten
tiary Of Pennsylvania at Allegheny
have been found to be so distressing
and intolerable as to require the i'm
mediate removal of all the federal
prisoners whose transfer is practice
Bile, and to demand the most serious
consideration of the proper public au
thorities. This is disclosed In the re
port of c. H. McGlasson, Of the depart
ment Of prisons and prisoners, to the
attorney general at Washington.
At the direction Of the attorney gen
eral. Wade Ellis, acting head of the
department of justice, made known the
results Of the investigation which Mr.
McGlasson conducted, following the re
ports published by the newspapers sev
eral weeks ago. criticising the condi
tions at the penitentiary. The feders
