HAVANA. Dec. 22.-The bandit Soils.
who recently captured a boy named
Fernandez and raised the noun of
ransom demanded to s10,0 900, after the
payment of SO. 900 had been refused.
has succeeded in carrying off another
prisoner and in obtaining payment of
SIC, 900 from his relatives.
He has had two emulators in the
same region, but they fell into the
hands of the rurales as they were try
ing to collect tribute by the same bold
method that Soils employs and with
which he has terrified Santa Clara
province.
A local owner of b~loodhounds is now
proposing to the government hat it
should use dogs. He promises to cap
ture Soils within two weeks after he
has imported twenty-four trained
hounds.
In making this offer he seems to
have overlooked the fact that Soils
has he protection of all the country
people. He preys on the well-to-do
alone, and distributes much of what he
receives among the poor, who are con-
sequently sure to do all they can to
a v him from the authorities.

INSANE ARE MORE

Inmates of st. Louis Institution
Show Consideration to
SaIes-pe0ple.

ST. LOUIS, Dec. 22.-Every day for
two weeks a group of ten insane pa
tients at the city sanitarium has been
permitted by superintendent H. 8.
Atkins to go shopping downtown under
h escort of a nurse. Today. tomor-
row and Saturday a like number will be
allowed to make such excursions and
mingle in the holiday rush..
Beaming and bundle-laden, the pa
tients have returned each day to the
institution. The shopping trips. like
many other novel entertainments calcu-
lated to cheer the inmates, have an
effect which, If not actually curative, Is
believed to be highly beneficial to the
general condition Of the patients.
Subjected to Little Restraint.
AS little restraint as possible has been
placed on those thus favored. They are
allowed to mingle with the shoppers.
visit such stores as they like and pur-
chase what their fancies and purses
viii permit. y
Superintendent Atkins says hat In
nearlyyevery instance his charges have
shown what he considers good judg-
ment, If not better sense, in spending
TIER money than the average shopper.
The insane are representative to a
degree, and the fact that they are not
made conspicuous by having with them
u nurse in the regulation uniform seems
to have been appreciated" DR.. Atkins
said.
Net a single complaint has resulted
from the experiment, and it was the
general comment of the store people
that the asylum inmates acted far more
sanely than the average Christmas
shopper.

WOMAN is ACCUSED
OF PASSING BAD CHECK.

Mrs. Mary Strauss was held in 5000
bail today for dispensing n of her
alleged spurious specimens to Samuel
Seid, a clothier, of Is Kent street.
The check was for $12, and it looked
SO good to Seid that he toe it gladly
and gave her $40 back in exchange for
two suits of secondhand clothes. Mrs
Strauss was arrested some time ago,
but the shock of the charge and the
arraignment were too much for her and
she has been sick in the City Hospital

the check was perfectly good for all
she knew, but the Baltimore bank on
which it was drawn said she had never
had a cents deposit with them.

NO HEARSE AT FUNERAL
OF MORRISVILLE MAN.

TRENTON, Dec. 22.-Carrying out
the wishes of George w. Wharton, of
Morrisville. his body will not be placed
in a hearse but will be carried by
bearers to the cemetery this after
noon.
Mr.. Wharton had frequently ex-
pressed fear that something might be-
fall his body If it was entrusted to
horses to be carried to it's last resting
place, and he explicitly charged his rel
atives that the casket should not be
placed In a horse-drawn hearse.
In view of the cold weather and the
distance from the house to the ceme-
terry it is likely that three relays Of
carriers will be entrusted to carry out
the request of Mr.. Wharton.

Spartanburg, October 10.-At a meet
ing of the Spartanburg real estate
board this body put itself on record as
being in favor of the adoption of the
"Torrens system" of registering land
titles. This real estate board is COM
posed of about fifteen of the leading
real estate agents in the city, who have
banded themselves together in order
that by cooperation they may accom-

feSsion.
The fame of the Torrens Land Act
has extended around the world and has
introduced a new system for the de-
termination and registration of titles
and the establishment OF boundaries.
To be adopted to the registration of
lands In immense tracts which sold
at so much per square mile instead of
so much an acre of foot, this system
was devised by an Englishman, Sir
Thomas Torrens, who at the time was
collector of customs at Adelaide, South
Australia. He embodied his ideas IN a
bill, which became law in 1858. 1t
has since been adopted in Victoria,
