OPEN .eveumcs lw~w POMBROY NEARLY ratio. ‘ The Boy Murderer Almost Succeeded In Making His Escape. BOSTON, Jan. 9.—Jesse PomerOy, the no- torious “white eyed boy” murderer, serv- ing a life sentence at Charlestown prison, has once more almost escaped from jail by removing. stones and bricks in his cell. His work must have occupied weeks, and his escape would have‘ been possible in a few more hours. . The first attempt at escape made by Pomeroy was in 1879. He was then em- ployed in the brush factory of Charlestown state prison. He spent his leisure moments — in loosening a bowlder of rock that made at the same time the outer wall of the pris- . on and the inner wall of his cell. After being discovered he was placed in solitary confinement, but he at once began to loosen the bars with a piece of iron which he wrenched from his bed. That time he was also foiled. , He only allowed a. few weeks to elapse, however, before contriving to pick the lock of his cell door with an instrument which he made from 'the steel which shaped the instep of his shoe. He concocted another scheme for liberty, through which, by the aid of other prison- "ers, a keeper was to have been killed and he,~with the others, was to have escaped over the roof. In 1884 he began his next attempt. He hollowed out a place in the seat of his stool, and in order to avoid'detection he swallow- ed the little chips of wood. In the hole which he had made Pomeroy secreted a cold chisel, which he covered with putty the same color as the stool. He intended to use the chisel in digging his way out and then to kill as many keepers as came with-. in reach. In August, 1887, 'his next attempt was made. A keeper happened to lean against the heavily grated window opening from the corridor into the cell and was startled to find the bars give to the pressure. It was a. special cell designed to hold Pomeroy for life and had bars an inch square. Pomeroy was searched and two fine chill- ed steel saws and a bottle of gelatin were found on him. How he got them was never solved. He had sawed the bars completely through, and the cracks were filled with gelatin and steel filings. In another day he would have been out in the prison armed with a heavy bar and ready to carry out his murderous threats. ~ Other attempts to escape followed in Oc— tober, 1890, and in August, 1891. He sawed five bolts on the former occasion be- fore the keepers discoverd what he had done, and in the second attempt had sawed through several irOn bars and begun on some supplementary steel ones before de- tection. . Three years passed before his next try for liberty, in March, 1894, and he had duga large hole in the wall of his cell with a big knife supplied him by another con- vict and covered it with theside of his cot. A Dasrnmno AT iBAY. A Multimurderer Bombarded by a. Posse In South Carolina. SUMTER, S. 0., Jan. 9.—Jake Dargan, colored, living five miles the other side of Sumter from Lynchburg, the seat of the horrible tragedy in which five persons lost their lives, went to Mr. W. S. Burkett, a white neighbor, early today and said that Simon Cooper had come to his house and was there asleep. Burkett rode to Sumter with the news, and a deputy Sheriff with a posse of nine ’men immediately left. A woman and a man were in the house with Cooper. He sent out the woman and later sent the man to buy him ammunition in Camden, giving him a sample shell. The man rode over to the posse and gave them the shells. Cooper is in the house alone, well armed with winchesters, with which he keeps up a continuous fire. The house is small, and on a hill in the open so that the posse cannot come with range with any de- gree of safety. A small six pounder can- non used for firing salutes has been se— cured, as the only way to capture Cooper without further loss of life is to demolish the house in which he is barricaded. There is no ammunition for cannon in Sumter, so it will be loaded with bolts and nuts. Later.—Cooper was finally shot and died within a few minutes. No one in the posse was hurt.

The old proverb that there is noth- ing that has not some use in the world if we only knew what it was has been verified again. Thistime the discov- erer was the summer girl whohas re— ' turned from her outing at the seashore or in the mountains. The bugaboo of the summer girl’s season is the tan which she brings back to the city with her. It interferes with—her wearing of evening gowns. And she will go to almost any extreme to accomplish that result in a hurry. ' ' . The latest wrinkle of the city girl is mud. Plain, dirty, sticky mud. The idea is by no means new, but it is the first time that society as a whole has accepted it as a skin beautifier. Swamp mud or mud from the bed of streams is the best. The skin should be thoroughly cleansed and dried un- til the skin feels warm and the pers~ piration has started. Then apply the mud thickly, taking care to keep it from the eyes. It is especially neces- sary that care be taken to cover all portions of the Skin alike, as the smallest patch of uncovered skin is, likely to stand out with disagreeable plainness the next morning. The feeling of the mud on the face is .not'as unpleasant as one might at first suppose. It feels much as a coat- ing of vaseline or cold cream would, and its beneficial results are much greater. 'The hands are treated in the same way, except that it is advisable to wear an old loose pair of gloves to prevent the mud from being- rubbed off during the night. The idea of the mud wash is as old as history. ,The old Romans knew of _ it, and it is probable that Cleopatra ' used the prescription to enhance her charms. In the West mud is a pana- cea for poisonous bites and stings. And the rural maidens use it to whiten their Skins. The idea may be distasteful to-a great many people, but it is the fad just at present, and has many devo- tees, as social fancies always do. Mothers and Babies. I wonder if mother-s, know how cruel they often are to the babies without thinking Of it. The poor little baby cannot describe its feelings, and how Should the mother know? Dress your baby up as much as you please— babies are. generally pretty in any- thing neat and clean—but be careful how you dress them. I began to count one day on my way down town how many babies I met with their pretty little bonnet strings tied back of their ears so tightly as to keep the bonnet on and to deform the ears for life, but after getting to fifty I gave it up. Have you ever noticed how many people there are with ears out of shape from no other cause than from improper arrangement of caps in infancy? Baby looks sweet, ’I’ll allow, but wouldn’t it be better to start a fashion for baby to look sweet and comfortable at the same time. Ask your doctor about it, andl think he will tell you that I have not exagger- ated-in the least—J. K. Ludlum. (.‘hildreu’sCloaks. Cloaks for children are made of silk, bengaline, velvet and cloth, both smooth and rough, so,.it is difficult to go astray in materials for this pur- pose, and they are worn both long and Short, especially by the older girls who like the short jackets of camel’s hair. Dark red is a fashionable color for coats, and some of them have vel- vet capes, and a trimming of brown fur. Grebe is used on tan and green cloth to trim the rovers, and muffs of cloth or velvet are made to match the coats. Some of the coats are full in the back, while others are fitted in plain, but they all have loose fronts. The model shows plaits in front trimmed with cords and buttons, and the collar is edged with beaver. Some- thing quite new is a. coat of green cloth madewith a waist, which has revers in front, and ,is embroidered with shades of green silk, and is trimmed with mink. Monogrammed Linen. When a monogram or initial is used upon linen, it may, upon the table- cloth, be placed a little to one Side of the Space covered by the centrepiece. There are, however, other less conspic- uous positions, which are preferred by some, as at the centre of the Side. bor- der. lpcn napkins, the monogram or initial never seems so well placed as In this in the Customary square, it forms a pleasing ornament upon the face of the folded napkin. Ends of Beef. A good-Sized roast of beef will give one hot and one cold dinner, cold meat for supper, a beef saute with potatoes for breakfast, and then leave plenty ' of soup mate— rial. The beef fat Should be tried out and saved for frying pur- poses, ‘and if anything is thrown’away it will be only the bones and the meat after the soup is boiled, and even this meat makes a fair hash. To Keep_Cranberries. . ‘ I keep cranberries in water all win- ter in quart glass jars, So as to serve them during June, July and August. I fill the jars full of berries, all sound, then add cold water, screwing on the caps as in ordinary canning. If‘pln‘ced in a cool. dark cellar, I find no trouble in keeping them for a year or more.— . er,
