VOLUNTARILY HE RETURNS
TO HIS PRISON GARDEN

where he We'd with Luther Burbank in
raising strange cross-breeds of fruit
and vegetables, today impelIed Charles
Parsons, otherwise known as "Sinbad
the Sailor" to return voluntarily to
the State penal institution at Still
water
The aged man has been out of the
prison on parole since Aug 1, 1910.
when he was pardoned conditionally
for a murder committed in 1890. He
had been so long in confinement that
he hardly knew what to do when DE
was set free, and after eight months Of
freedom his garden and the simple life
of convict won him back to the bar
red inclosure. He originally was sent
up for life; now he probably will stay
there till he dies.
"Sinbad" was pardoned soon after
the release of John Carter the pris-
on poet, whose verses won him fame.
1t was said that "Sinbad" was born in
Ohio, and ran away from there when
he was sixteen years old He sailed
the seven seas for many years. In De-
cember, 1890, after he had settled down
as a landsman, he killed a coal HEAVIER

in quarrel. Under the name Of
Charles Price he was convicted of
murder in the second degree.
Parsons had been fond of flowers in
Iboyhood, and at the prison he was al
lowed to tend the warden's graden. He
gradually developed skill in grating
and cross-breeding plants and flowers.
One Of his creations was a sort of lem
on, which weighed AZ ounces. 1t was a
combination of lemon and grape fruit.
he also produced many other freaks OF
vegetation, and his fame spread all
over the state. Gardeners and horticul-
turists came from far and near to Oh

daily demonstrations. He raised giant
squashes by feeding them with milk
through a tube.
During his many years Of roaming
as sailor he had a lot of adventures.
Several times he nearly lost his life on
islands inhabited by cannibals. He is
now in his sixty-second year.

TO ESCAPE CENSUS
She HID HERSELF
Stayed 45 Hours in q Dark
Basement

London, April 10.-Miss Mary Par
ker, a Jealous suffragette, was discoy-
erred in the crypt under the House of
Commons at l o'clock this afternoon.
She had been concealed there since 4
o'clock Saturday afternoon, at which
tine the crypt was locked up She had
taken food with her and slept on the
altar steps with the famous altarcloth,
which tradition says was embroidered
by Queen Elizabeth, for pillow
She went to tht somewhat gruesome

she was discovered her name was Civ

The suffragettes who remained out

Actually, the scheme was really a

NO "MASSENBURG'S" IN
LITTLE OLD new YORK
Though Young Wife Looks
for Them

New York, April 1O.-Much mystery
surrounds the case of a youthful and
very pretty bride from Dixie Land who
was last night sent to the Almshouse
on Blachwell's Island, pending an in
vestigation by the State Board Of
Charities.
The young woman said that her
name was Lama Massenburg, that she
was nineteen years old, a native of
Kittrell, N. c., a small village of Vance
county, and that she had been married
in the town of her birth to the young
man whose name she now bears.
Married Ten Days Ago.
The marriage, according to the girl,
took place ten days ago. Then on Fri
day last-it may be noted that the day
was not April her husband told her
to go to New York, and that if his rel
atives did not meet her at the depot
to inquire for them and any one would
direct her to their house. He himself
was so busy that he could not accom-
pany her, but he wanted her to meet
his folks, and he would join here very
soon.
Early Sunday morning a demure
figure attired in a neat travelling dress
and wearing a picture hat alighted
from a train in the Pennsylvania Ter
minal and sat down on a bench to
await the arrival of the Massenburgs.
None came. The hours went by and the
shades of evening fell.
The weary watcher became very
hungry and finally found courage to
ask negro porter if he knew where
the Massenburgs lived. The darky
showed his white teeth in a broad grin,
and explained how big New York is,
and how little any one knew of anyone
else.
Taken to City Lodging House.
The distraught girl broke down. Tho
porter invoked the assistance of Mrs.
Hess of the Travellers Aid Society,
who brought the waif to the Municipal
Lodging House at No. ABS East Twenty
fifth street. There she told Superin-
tendent Yorke and Mrs Hess her story
For some reason of her own the girl
would give but scant information about
her husbnd. She would not say what
his occupation is, but admitted that
she had known him for some time
Asked if she had marriage certificate
lshe said no, but that her husband did
Superintendent Yorke communicated
with the State Board of Charities, and
was ordered to send the girl to the
alms-house and that she be kept there
pending the investigation which the
board has instituted.
Kittrell is a village of only 1870 in
habitants The girl reached town with
only 1915 in her purse.

nately the arrangements for

defective. The various class
rooms have exposures on one
side only whereas, by all means
should have had them on both
sides. 1t is not too late yet to add
additional windows which would
give more light and add very
much to the comfort of the
rooms in warm weather, on
account of the circulation of the
air. We regret to notice that no
provisions have been made for
ventilation except from the
windows and transoms, and that
the trans0ms are suspended
from above instead of below.
No provisions are made for
sanitary purposes.

are rather small; there are

trees have been cut down and
left in the yard. The water
supply comes from a spring
under the hill. This spring is
made up of several springs and
