How 1T Happened.
The sausage was brought to Jail by
Jeane Davidson a Gary negro. There
are two theories as to how the jail de-
livery might have been arranged. One
is that Davidson and Little Johnny
Boasich and Dog Faced" Charley got
together and plotted among themselve es
to have Davidson get the saws and
make the escape of the others possible.
Another theory is that after Davidson
went to Gary he was hired by certain
indicted citizens to take the saws to
Dog Faced Charley and Boasich and
aid in jail delivery.
Returns to Jail.
Davidson was given his freedom after
serving a thirty day sentence and after
being released at Crown Point he went

The thieves gained entrance to the

south side of the station and after
crawling through the small window
they forced the ticket window and un-
latched the Yale lock to the Office. The
tickets are valueless as the men failed
to take the stamp. 1t was found near

Women of Long AGO.

A distinguished clergyman of St..
Louis, Mo-, delivered a discourse a few
Sundays ago which attracted a great
deal of attention.
Contrasting the women of today and
hundred years ago, he finds that this
generation of women have deteriorat-
ed; wives of this degenerate time are
less devoted to their homes, they have
less knowledge of h0useWifery, they
are more ambitious for future social
triumphs: worse than all, they have
invaded the fields of business, and are
competing with men in divers avenues
of industry.
The reverend gentleman talks well
AMI calmly, and avoids yelowness in
his language, however saffron his the
ories may be; hence his outpourings
are beipg widely printed and lavishly
commented upon. And yet all he says
is twaddle.
All the women who lived a hundred
years ago and made home a place of
delight, are dead and with the angels
and all we can ever know of them is
just what we read in the works of con
temporaneous writers: and, if those
writers describe them accurately, they
were an unwholesome, languid lot, who
were not expected or desired to know
anything outside of the household
routine, and who were given to faint
ing and excessive weeping, and who
prided themselves upon their frugality.
Gould a woman of hundred years ago
appear among us at the present day,
just as she was then, she would prob
bly, bore everybody to death with her
simpernlg ard cOurteseying and crying
and swooning and lack-a-daisy- y-full
manners. The capable woman of to-
day is an improvement upou her great
grandmother, whatever this great
learned eXpounder OF ST. Louis w&y
say. If she does things differently, It
is because conditions are different: this
world has moved some in q bundled
years, everywhere outside of St
Louis. The men have charged a., mach
as the womcn Mea can 10 longer
spend their time chasing tee foxes amt
they do not make it a rule to 90 to bed
with their boots on. We admit that
they cannot make as good julep 40
their grandsires did, but they can Go
things that IS are more useful.
1t is thus with the women. They DO
not spin or work at the loom or brew
ale, as did their ancestors, for su'h
occupations have gone where the wood
bine twineth, but they do things far
more worth while.
