FRENCH WoRKH0UsE
BOYS ATTACK KEEPERS

Paris, May Eighty boys of the
penitentiary school at Gallon, near
Rouen, broke Into open revolt few
days ago and after half-kllling two
Jaiiers and smashing everything they
could lay hands on, .heiped sixteen OF
their number to escape. Seven Of these
were captured, but nine are still at lib
erty.
There are 100 boys of ages varying
from IL to 10 In the penitentiary. At
lunch time twelve of the twenty-four
tailers went OF duty, and. the boys
made q sudden attack on the remand
or. They pulled down a piece OF q wall
and pelted the jailers with bricks. The
twelve men shouted Tor help. but when
the others came back the lads were too
many for them.
The director OF the pentitentiary. tel
ephoned for soldiers. but only ten men
were sent. and the lads drove them off.
They then smashed windows and lamps
and broke their way into the work
shops, where they armed themselves
with saws and other tools. and. shout
ing songs. marched to the penitentiary
,eeils and set free those Of their COM
'rades who had been locked in them
for various offences.
Late in the afternoon the fire hri-
gade and more soldiers arrived. but
even then the boys held out. and event-
ually submitted to be shut into the
dining hall only on condition that they
were given a ration OF wine and to-
bacco. The director was obliged to
give In.
All tYfe lamps In the place had been
smashed. and the boys passed all night
in darkness. singing songs. The next
morning a strong force of troops with
tixed bayonets took them prisoners.

CLAIM MADE THAT

italian Claim to Joan Of Arc, y. .
stuart -Glennie, well-known histori-
cal sch olar now working In Rome, mas
published a very interesting pampnlet'
10 which the Beatihcation OF ms

car Importance. Mr.. Stuart Glennie's
attention was lately drawn to pas
sage in the "rentro Araldico, work
published at Lodi in 1871. which, In
an account of the famous Ghislieri
family of Bologna. describes Joan OF
Arc as a daughter of Ferrante CHS
Herr, at that time fugitive from the
tyranny of the rival Bentivoglio clan.
The statement OF the "reatro Araldi-
CO.. is also found in Moroni's volumt-
nous historical ana ecclesiastical die
tionarY. The writer in the "Teatro
Araidico" adds that Joan was born In
1424--anf obvious mistake. which Mr..
stuart Glennie supposes to be print
er's error for 1404-and that her APP
parently low origin was due to the fact
OF her birth at time when her father
was a poor exile in France, whittier
he had gone in 1401. In support OF
this curious story Mr.. stuart-Glennie

LEM0INE IS CAUGHT

Paris. May 1--Henri Lemoine. the ar
tificial diamond maker. who defrauded
Sir julius Werhber out OF 100000

had some remarkable adventures be-
fore he was captured here. 1t has
trahspired that Lemoine, who had
shaved on his long black heard and cut
his elegant mustaehe, had disguised
himself as a Workman and slipped out
of his residence by the side gate. The
police saw him pass but did not sus-
pect the trick. That was In June last,
ana ever since the French authorities
have been searching for him all over
Europe and in America.
The authorities had given up nope
of ever capturing him, when quite sew

around London heard this week some
OF the most remarkable stories of rob-
berv and violence which have been re-
lated for some time. London, in fact,
appears to have been experiencing an
epidemic of crimes Of kind almost
UNPARALLELED since the days Of the high
waymen One Of the most-TeTnarkabie
was a raid by two burglars on Barnes
Rectory. eliminating In a pitched battle
between them and the rector, and Rev.
Ben .Ki4sen and his assistant
curate, the Rev. p. A. deWaal The
rector. who Is sixty years of age, was
awakened. In his bedroom at the rectory
at a. M, and confronted by a
desperate young burglar armed with
heavy crowbar. Though the rector had
no weapon but his bare hands, and was
at the further disadvantage OF being
barefooted and clad only In MS
patamas, he grappled with is assailant
and succeeded in throwing him down.
stairs.
BY his courage he also averted the
almost certain loss of $4,000 worth OF
valuable securities. the family plate,
and a string ofAathletio cups. He like
wise succeeded in effecting the capture
in his dining room OF man who gavc
his name at the police court as Henry
Markham. who was released from Dart
moor prison only a few days ago. The
rector's assaiiant escaped just eludinR
Z blow from Mr.. de WAL. who awaited
him at the door with a shovel.
An equally amazing story. this time
of a daylight robbery, was told at
Westminster Police Court when will
liam Ryan, alias Gilbey. pleaded guilty
to robbing Mrs. Caroline Randall, an
elderly widow. of her purse on top OF
an omnibus Ryan sat next to Mrs.
Randall and suddenly, when the con-
ductor had gone below, seized her wrist
and made her drop her handbag. She
resisted. but he dragged her down. ran
down the stairs, and jumped off the
omnibus Only when he was brought
to bay after chase did he drop the
purse.
IT was stated at the Marylebone
police court the. other day that during
the last month no fewer than eighteen
cabs had been stolen in London. All
OF them were found afterwards with

Twice Told Tale.
Little interest In the fate OF Captain

as all the revolving details OF this sor-
did story are being prepared to spread
before the court once more. New
Workers. appear to have had enough OF
the tale of this murder ana express
only mild interest in the mentality
of the defendant, who still fingers ~
the grip. of the law. Now that Sa-
-rah Koten has met the mercy of the
court for staying her betrayer In an
unstable state of mind the belief is
growing that the measure OF this hus-
bands mentality may count for q aiFn-
liar disposition OF his case. Whatever
the outcome of this last airing OF tbs
Hams case may be. the people here
will welcome IL chiefly as closing for
ever the public recital OF chapter
which should have long since been
