Perrin Free; Declared Sane.

Lawrence Perrin, son of the late
Nelson Perrin, is sane and is capable
OF managing his own affairs. This
was decided Friday by Sheriff Nc
Nulty's jury de lunatico inquirendo,
composed of IS men, and Mr.. Perrin
was Immediately discharged from
custody by Sheriff McNulty, although
the immediate discharge was not al
together pleasing to Perrin.
Under the law, the opinion Of II of
the Is jurymen was all that was nee
essary to determine the sanity or in
sanity of the person under inquiry,
but in Perin's case the verdict was
unanimous. Immediately after it had
been rendered he was surrounded by
the jurymen and others, who were
profuse in their congratulations. On
ly three witnesses were held-Dr. H.
J. Berkeley, DR.. A. c. ellis and {. z.
Connor. of LeWisburg, West Virginia.
Harry B. Wolf, counsel for Perrin,
charged that the Chesapeake and Ohio
Railroad was behind the proposition
to have Perrin declared insane, be-
cause he had endeavored to have the
assessment for taxation on the Green
brier White Sulphur Springs Hotel
property, owned by the railroad COM
pany, increased.

The Mast Expert VIII Leave Some
Mark That BetrayS him.

Succ ssful criminals nearly always
specialize III their work, and it is ow-
ing to this fact that detectives in
many "aSeS are able to track them
down. says the Philadelphia Ledger.
Not only do criminals make prac-
tce OF committing one particular
style Of Grim Int the methods pro-
resslonal crooks employ are practi-
cally always on the same plan.
One burglar, for instance. will al
ways enter through the fanIight over
me front ioOr CT Il shop another by
breaking in AT the back Most bur
glars. too, will continually repeat a
burglary N in. same neghbOrhood.
It is by carefully observing and
noting the special systems notorious
CROOKS adopt thai detectives can CT
ten eject thci: arrests. Many time
burglary has occurred and the
criminal vanished. leaving aDparentlv
no marks by which he could he
traced, and police officials have teen
able to produce him in court within
Few day, to the utter astonishmcr1
OF all concerned.
1t does not matt-r how subtle or

Improving the Egg Yield.

The Department Of Agriculture,
Washington, recommends that crush
ed oyster shell food be kept before
laying hens as means through
which a good hard egg is produced.
A record kept at the Government
Chicken Yard, of the amount of
oyster shells fed to a laying hen,
showed that in one year l $40 lbs.
per hen was consumed at a cost of
about lc a hen per year. 1t is also
pointed out that the calcium mineral
matter taken in by the young chicken
in the feeding of oyster shells, may
have a tendency to strengthen the
frame of young pullets and make
them stronger and healthier in later
life 1t is further shown from actual
experiment. that when beef scraps
were fed to hens, the average egg
yield was 1877 eggs per hen year,
and when beef scraps were not fed,
80 eggs was the average yearly yield.

Sykesville Ore Mines After O. Lapse OF
Fifty Years Are ReOpened.

After remaining idle for over so
years, the old ore mines on the farm
of ex-senator J. E. Beasman, near
Sykesville, have resumed operation.
Both copper and iron ore of good
quality was discovered on this prop
erty in 1850, and was mined profit
ably for about 10 years, when oper-
atoms ceased. Later a large furnace
was started, and continued until
1868, when the great flood Of that
year did so much damage to property
along the Patapsco River.
This property containing these ore
mines has been leased by the Shaw
inigan Electric Products Company, of
Baltimore The Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company is putting in
sidings and building platform, from
which the ore may be dumped from
the auto trucks into the cars. The
improvements when completed will
cost nearly $4,000 and over Is men
will be employed.

NOTED ROBBER DEAD

bankers and watched by detectives.

One of his first big robberies was
the Royal Insurance Company, in
Wall street, in 1866. Negotiable bonds
and other property of the value of
$1,1O0000 were stolen. Frank Knapp
and Jimmie Griffin, two Well-known
characters of that day, were his con-
federatcs, and all escaped to Canada.
Being arrested there. Noble was in
dignant and d manded they be re-
leased on bail. In this way $4,000
went away from them.
The three stuck together and each
was supposed to have at that time
100000 in cash, obtained by disDOs-
ing of the proceeds of the robbery.
Noble was sentenced to Auburn, from
which he escaped. jim" Hope, who

berry. and other well-known crooks

TO Paris, too, where he was concern
ed in diamond robbery, and SEN

to England. There he was arrested
for forgery.
He was sentenced to 20 years i'm

Fourth National Bank. Later he was
identified by former keeper of Au-
burn as the escaped convict.

SYSTEM OF FEEDING CALVES
Animals Should Not Be Fed Together Any More Than Bunch of Pigs
 Fix Individual Stalls.

Skim milk calves ought not to be fed together, any more than a bunch of hoggish pigs, for some of the calves soon learn to gulp down their share of the feed, then crowd others away from theirs. Individual stalls or booths form the only correct system of feeding the skim milk calves, so that each one will be assured of it's portion. m

Base Ball Fiasco

One part of Wednesdays program
which we think might either have been
curtailed or tempered with mercy was
the ball game which was played at city
park in the afternoon. A ball game
which pulls crowd like the one did
on that day should at least be close
enough to be interesting. Richmond
has a real ball team and while ourboys
touched up the visiting twirler for
some real healthy swats there just nat
urally seemed to be a fielder right under
the ball and in every instance the bat
ter was out. Nearly every one of their
crowd, besides being clever toilers in
the garden, were real husky with the
willow, and got after the pill so hard
at times that it was really shame.
AS far Yale having any stars in the
game, there was nothing doing. There
was total eclipse. When our pitcher
could pitch he didn't have any kind of
support, and when he had support he
couldn't pitch.
In the first few innings it looked as
though we were going to have a real
ball game, but later events caused US
to change our minds. Score at the
close of the game was II to 0 with the
visitors holding the big end

Wednesday was big day in Yale,
there being a big crowd of people in
the city from surrounding towns and
country to witness the laying of the
corner stone of the new M. h. church
building now under the course OF con-
struction.
At l 80 p. m. the line of march was
formed at corner Of Main and North
streets, headed hy Yale Band, the Boy
Scouts, Uncle Sam and Miss Colum-
bia, the scholars OF the public schools,
Port Huron Commandery, knight
Templars, the Grand Lodge officers,
Yale Masonic lodge following. The
line of march was along Main street to
Belts, on to Kennefck street, down to
Mill and back to Main, up Main street
to the place of starting, where the GER
emonies took place.
The ceremony was in charge of the
Masonic Grand Lodge of Michigan Of
ficers and was very impressive. Below
we publish list of the officers, this
being the first function of the kind
performed by the new officers of the
Grand Lodge.

The Port Huron Commandery, X. T.,
marched to the city park where they
gave fine and inspiring drill on the
base ball diamond which was most in
teresting and much enjoyed by the
large crowd present. Then came the
matched game of base ball between
Richmond and Yale. This ended a
day long to be remembered.
The ladies of the church served din
ner and supper at Barr's auditorium
and large crowds partook of the boun.
teous repasts.
