REPORTS from White Cap centers indicate that the White Cap industry is becoming more and more unfash­ ionable. The Conrad brothers dealt it a sevore blow, and now a jury at the town of Jasper has caused con­ sternation by finding a White Cap guilty of murderous assault and Ax­ ing his punishment at two years' im­ prisonment in the penitentiary. The person who has incured this penalty is one Thomas High Held, who, with a number of other pious citizens, whipped and otherwise abused a man and his wife who had in some way offended the moral sense of the com­ munity. Others of the gang are to be tried, and they, too, will probably received satisfactory sentences. This way of dealing with White Caps will exercise a more deterrent effect than the Conrad method. To kill a • 'night rider" of course puts an end to his marauding, but it has little influence upon his remaining companions.

IN AN address, Bishop Matz. of Colo­ rado, aooepts the decree of Baltimore 0tWHC( WHKBB TBI TMAIHS Trenek** Indomitable (or Him His fnetab One of the most remarkable cases of escape from prison was that or Baron Trenck, who, for a political offence and out of personal enmity, was imprisoned by King Frederick the Great in the fortress of Glatz. The baron was hardly twenty years old when his Imprisonment began. The first time that he escaped he cut the bars of his cell with a knife of which he had made a toothed saw, and let himself down from a window by a rope made of strips of leather from his traveling ba*r and pieces of a sheet He fell into a bog that sur­ rounded the citadeL When he had sunk in the mud up to his lips he had to call the sentinel, and was taken back to a cell. Eight days later he seized the sword of the prison inspector, fought his way to a rampart, and jumped to the ground without injury; but in his flight he was caught by the foot in a palisade long enough to be recaptured. He was dragged back to prison pierced with bayonets and half dead, but had hardly recovered from this adventure before he made another attempt He and a companion eluded their jailers and jumped from a rampart His companion broke his ankle. In Trcnck's delicate-looking figure were the muscles of an athlete. He took the disabled man on his shoulders, and ran with him for a quarter of au hour. He crossed a stream and wan­ dered about a mountain in the snow all night. He thought he was far from Glatz, and his heart sank when he heard the Glatz clock strike 4. However, he was not discouraged. He seized two horses from a peasant, and with his companion rode away at a gallop until they reached Bohemia and safety. Eight years afterward Trenck was imprudent enough to tro to Danr.ig on business. He fell into the King's bands and was taken to Magdebourg prison. This imprisonment was more terrible than any of the others. His Cell was a mere niche in the wall. It was almost pitch dark. He was given just enough bread and water to keep him alive. The horrors of this captivity de­ veloped his ingenuity aud persever­ ance almost incredibly. He broke one of the bars of his cell, and made Of It an instrument with which he cut a hole in the wall. He succeeded in concealing the hole from the Jailers. The debris made by the Work he crumbled to dust beneath Ihis feet, or made into balls which he blew out of the loop-hole through a paper blowpipe. It was a work of in­ finite care and patience. At the end of six months the holo in the wall was large enough for htm to escape through it Then it was discovered. The night on which Trenck cxpectea to escape he was transferred to another cell. This cell had been planned for him by the King himself. It was a horrible duntreon, only to be reached through four heavy doors. Trenck wa* bound hand and foot. The King had had a grave dug in the cell, and on the stone was Truck's name and a death's head. Now |t.he very idea of escape seemed insane, but Trenck's courage was not exhausted. He had been able to hide a knife from the jailers. With this he picked the locks of three of the dungeon doors. In pickiug the fourth his knife broke. That was too much. With the broken knife he opened veins in his arms and legs, and lay down to bleed to death. After a little while he roused from the lethargy into which he had sunk, and in a fit of fierce acger demolished the masonry of his cell, and made a barricade of it He determined to die behind this like a soldier. When the jailers came he fought like one demented, and they offered him terms. Trenck surrendered his barricade as if it had been a citadel. Then followed another horrible period of imprisonment. Later a new warden whs appointed, and Trenck was treated less cruelly. Now he secretly constructed a subterranean gallery thirty-seven feet long. A strange idea came to him. He de­ termined to test Frederick's gener- osity. - He proposed to the warden that on a certain day at a certain hour he and all the prison officials should come to his cell. He promised that -they should find the cell empty, and that he would appear among them *!rom the outside of the prison. Thfv •laughed at .him. Then before his astounded jailer^ Trenck threw off his chains as if they had been a garment, showed them his tools, lifted the pavement *f IMP'jravvPi * "There is a cha**eter up ia Falls," said a New York drummer who has been off in Smith Dakota selling patent bindery "who has for years been noted as the hardest drinker in the place.

Nobody would at­ tempt to give employment to a man whom water would throw into a hy­ drophobia lit How he lives nobody could say, but he nevertheless has a small spot ot land, a family, and a horse. This horse was his especial pride; it has the sagacity of a human being, and was more to be relied on, because it was a friend to whom treacherv was a stranger. At least that is how its owner argued. He had gone to town 200 times in his wagon, and 200 times did the faithful horse tote him back home, stretched stiff and stark in the wagon-botttom, safe and sound. "Thus it went on. But one day Williams, so we will call the farmer- toper, got drunker than usual. This time the habitues of the tavern had to carry him out bedily and dump him into the wagon. The horse didn't act the same as usual He was silent, had the blues, evidently, and seemed to be meditating on some deep-laid scheme. The saloon loaf' era noticed that when he was started off this time he went straight ahead, instead of turning around. They watched him and were surprised to see him stop short in front of the po­ lice station, a fourth of a mile up the road, paw the ground until great clouds of dust arose and neiirb loudly. Two or three bluecoats loumred around in front, but paid no atten­ tion to his horseship. But he kept up his noise until one of the coppers took it into his head to see what was up. His surprise can well be imag­ ined when he saw the dirty, snorintr occupant of the wagon. "They carted him into the station. The moment he was out of thewasron the horse, with a joyful toss of hia head, started for home. •'The next, day Williams was fined $10 or sixty days in the Police Court He paid his fine. He hasn't spokea to that horse since." essaftea to |̂ ie Dead. utiful custom of the peoptl of Siam is one by which they do honor to their dead. At full moon in Octo­ ber, and again in November, three evenings are devoted to setting lighted candles afloat on the border of the sea, in the belief that they will be borne away to those who have passed out of this life. The humblest style, says the Satur­ day Review, in which the oeremony can be performed is yet pretty enough.. The broad, strong leaf of a plantain is bent or folded into the shape of a boat or raft. In the middle of this simple structure a tiny taper is fixed upright The "katong/'or raft, of which this is the simplest form, ia then kept ready in the house until the auspicious moment--predicted by the family priest--has arrived. Then at this moment, when the water is silvered over by the beams of the broad, rising moon, the taper is lighted and the tiny raft is launched upjn the waves. Very slowly at first it makes its way along the edge ot the ebbing tide; then, wafted gently by the still eve­ ning air into the swifter current, it drifts further and further away, un­ til only a bright speck of light dis­ tinguishes it from the rippling sur» face all around. When the night is fine, thousands of thess little stars of light may be seen twinkling on the broad bosom of the Menam, all wending their silent way toward the boundless sea, all bearing silent messages to departed friends who have already gone to the gM»t lipltiiown 'and. ̂̂ Tronble irftk Alton's KleetHO Ugfet at Snylov to Be Dying Ort ls%s--' at JaefcsoBTgle.
