A Luxurious Poorhouse.

Morden college, Blackheath, is the most luxuriously equipped almshouse in existence. Admission is strictly linn ited to merchants who have fallen on evil times. Mere clerks are not eligi- ble, candidates being required to prove that they have been in q large way of business for themselves. Each mem- Der of the college draws q yearly al- lowance of f11O and on admission re- ceiyes f25 worth of furniture for his two rooms, unless he prefers to bring his own. There are well trained men servants, and to every three members one maid servant is allotted. Members must attend a certain number of chap els and be in by Il o'clock at night II they come in at all, but there Is no other restriction on their liberty, and they can go away for weeks at a time if they choose.-LOndon Chronicle.

A New Back for an Cid One. How
 1t Can be Done in Alaska

The back aches at times with dull, indescribable feeling, making you weary and restless; piercing pains shoot across the region of the kidneys, and again the loins are so lame that to stoop is agony. No use to rub or apply a plaster to the back if the kidneys are weak. Al askan residents would do well to profit by the following example.
 John I. Conger, prop, printing shop, S45 N. Seventeenth St, Sal em, Oregon, says: My back got weak and sore and my kidneys did not act as they should. At times could hardly 'straighten. Doan's Kidney Pills gave me relief and it took them only a short time to rid me of kidney trouble. I pub licly endorsed them several years ago and am glad to do so again."

 of relief at the narrow escape. When the apples arrived he ate one
 of them. and, the expected result not , coming as soon as be anticipated, he ate all of the others. The result was
 that when next visited by the guard
 he was in collapse. He was unCOn- scious for a time, and when a glimmer- ing of consciousness returned soldiers | were moving about him and surgeon
 was listening for his heartbeat. Then | Morrison heard the surgeon say that ! he thought he was dead, but was not certain. Leaving orders that he was to be watched, the surgeon withdrew. Morrison recovered slowly, but 1t oc- cured to him to pretend to be still unconscious. Persons came and went, and since the prisoner was supposed to be dead or dying no pains were taken for his security. The guard was with drawn, and he was placed in charge of a nurse.
 Night came on, and Morrison con tinued to fcign unconsclousness. The nurse finally fell asleep. Morrison looked at the man between closed lash es and when the fellow began to snore slid off the cot on which he was lying. His clothes had not been taken off him, nor had his shoes been removed. The latter he unlaCed and carried them in his hands In his stockings he began a slow movement past the slumbering nurse toward the door, which stood njar.
 That was the longest journey of a dozen feet that Morrison ever travelled. He feared that the slightest creaking would awaken the nurse and used the utmost care, after trying a board on which he trOd, before bearing his weight on it. One board creakcd in spite of his caution, and the nurse stirred. But he did not awaken. Three steps, two steps, one step more md the door was reached. Neverthe- less he still stepped cautiously until he reached a staircase, when, in order to dNOlu SOuAl, LG SLAN NV"u tue DdulS- ter.
 No one was up and about below, and he had no difficulty in making an exit. Then, putting on his shoes, he ran like a deer till he suddenly brought up against the watch.
 The man was no Tory, and when Morrison confded to him that he was an American prisoner of war escaped from the British he was permitted to proceed and before day came had left the city and was on his way to Tren- ton. where he found his comrades.
 Captain MOrrison's flight was kept a secret, the British commander hoping to recapture him before 1t should be- come necessary to report his escape to headquarters. The first Alice Douglas knew of 1t was when she received a letter from him dated at Trenton an- nouncing to her that an overdose of her medicine had accomplished her purpose and he was again in command of his company.

Naminu a City.

From the Cleveland Plain Dealer we learn that the modern spelling Of the name of the city is due to the error of q type manufacturer who sent to the Cleveland Herald, In 1881, a new set of type which was too fiat" as printers say. In other words, too wide to allow the heading of the paper to be spelled ln the old and correct way. As the correction of the mistake was a matter of about ten weeks, so slow were the transportation facilities of those days, the printer suggested that the first "a" be left out of the name. It was done, and thus the town re- ceived a new name.

ALIEN INTERESTS STIRRING UP
 STRIKE

From the expression given by President Gompers of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, he is not much in sympathy with the alleged efforts on the part of certain for eign interests to stir up great strikes in this country designed to interfere with the manufacture and eXportation of munitions of war. He planes the strike at the Remington Arms company plant to these alien influences, and says further that they tried without success to bring about a strike of ths longshoremen and of the seauen. It is rather surprising that intelligent American workmen would lend themselves to such manipulation and trickery in the behalf of alien interests, but it is reported tue scheme is backed by unlimited means and doubtless is adroitly handled so that the mass of men are deluded and think the agitation comes from legitimate labor channels and Is intended for their own interests. President Gompers, however, is fully alive to the situation and is lending his to terminate the trouble at the arms company plant at Bridgeport, Conm.-Olympia Record CT.

ENGLISH WIVES IF GERMANS
 SUFFER

LONDON, July 1.--Much of the breaking and footing of shops during the anti-German riots was due, says Sylvia Pankhurst, to the increased cost of living. The English shops to suffer had all created hostility among their customers by putting up prices, in most cases without warrant.
 In the suffrage organ, Votes For Women, it Is pointed out that large number of the wives of Germans. in- nocent sufferers because of these riots are English women. While these English women must live on greatly reduced incomes through the inter- ment of their husbands, the German wives of Englishmen, who by reason of blood and education might very well be supposed to have pro-German sympathies, are free and unmolested
 Suffragists tried to have the allies act amended so as to protect the Eng fish wives of alien enemies, but failed when the bill was put through last August.

 EXPLODED

LONDON, July 1.-When he found that speech, which had been lost through concussion, had returned to him, Private Pointer of the London Rifles, spent a whole night in the general hospital at Lincoln talking to himself. He feared to lose it if he did not keep it up, yet he did not want to call out to the night sister for fear she might faint. So he waited until the attendant came around with his morning cup of tea, then remarked: Shove it down there, old chap" For this he was showered with tea by the agitated attendant
 Pointers case has been of intense interest in the hospital, as a case of loss of speech, taste and hearing, due to the explosion of giant shell near him in the battle line. He now seems to be recovering his hearing also.

new MATERIAL
FOR ALL TEAMS

Coach Whitesides was visitor in
town yesterday after having completed
little scouting trip for promising
available athletes that will enter some
college or university this year. The
coach is pretty we'll satisfied with
what information he could gather
while on his trip and spoke of pros
poets for football and basketbalE with
beaming countenance.
Practically all members of the Fair.
mount academy basketball team,
which finished third in the state tour
nament, have assured the coach that
they will enter Earlham. One of the
boys, Alva Smith, was selected as all
state high school guard. Jones, Gun
ningham and Wright also expect to
marticulate.
Alfred Smith, hailing from Thorn
town, all-state center, will enter Earl
ham. Smith is big lad and should
make excellent football material,
In speaking Of football prospects the
coach seemed well pleased with the
known line material and also his back
field. Kelsey and Hobbs are expected
to alternate in Logan's quarter back
job. Both Bowen and Thornton will
be back so the only regular to be Sc
lected unless some lad upsets the dope
bucket, will be a half back Arnett
and Fellers will both try out for foot
ball, as will Taylor. the fast track man,
and Meeks, scrappy basketball player.
