McKane the Best Carpenter in Sing Sing and Al- most Invaluable to the State. The real social leaders up in Warden Sage's State hotel at Sing Sing come from New York and its immediate vi- cinity. They don’t number 400 or even 40, but mentally they are so far superior to the other 1,300 guests that ’Warden Sage is proud of them, and if he had any say about it and the law wasn't in the way it is altogether likely that he would give a certificate to the efiect that they had reformed and could be released with the certainty that they would be very good citizens indeed hereafter. For from being very bad citizens at large they have become models under re- straint. “Now, if I had a houseful of men like them,” said the Warden, “there never would be the need of a harsh word in this place, and so far as work is con- cerned, they would work 24 hours a day if you would let them. We can’t give‘ them enough to do. That’s about the only thing they have to complain of here, although they are treated like every other well-behaved member of the community, and no better.” One of the men the W'arden referred to was Francis T’Veeks, the lawyer and man of wealth who was intrustcd with many large estates and proved recreant to his trust and wrecked about every- thing he could lay his hands on, after- ward fleeing to South America and be- ing caught after a very long chase. Weeks was the sort of a man who en- joys life a good deal more than the av- erage man. He did as be pleased; had plenty of money to spend and servants who attended his every want. In the clothing shop in the prison he is a book- keeper and holds a place of some trust. “A very useful man to the State,” says the Warden, “a. very useful man.” A good many people who visit Sing Sing ask about Weeks, but not one-tenth the number of those who want to see John Y. McKane. John Y. may be called the star boarder at the" hotel. Since he has been there no visitor has gone through the institution who hasn’t said: "Where’s McKane? I want to see MoKane. 11, please let me see Mc- Kanp,” or something of that kind. It may be said, too, that not one out of twenty who goes there sees McKane. The prison officials. particularly the Warden and principal keeeper Con- 'naughton, don’t believe in making a man’s imprisonment any more unpleas- ant than is necessary. McKane knows how curious people are, and it is very distasteful to him to be the feature in a Show of the kind. When visitors are doing the prison. if it is possible for Mc- Kane to be out of the way without neg- lecting his work or violating a rule, he manages generally to keep out of sight until they are gone. Carpentering was John Y.’s trade be- fore he got to be supreme ruler of Gravesend and Coney Island. He takes to it as a duck does to water, and he is the best carpenter in Sing Sing at the present time. Another one of the distinguished set is Quigley, the forger. Quigley is a. book- keeper, too. He has the dirtiest job of any of the lot. He is in the foundry. The reason he was put there is that in his youth he was in the brass and iron business, and it came a kind of natural to him. It is a. very rough and dirty place; but he likes it. There is plenty of work and he keeps himself well occu- pied. The Warden says he has been a very useful man there. He isn’t quite as fleshy as he was when he went in, but he’s not more unhappy than any- body else would be under the condi- tions. His wife and brother call on him oc- casionally. When the reporter was go- ing through the institution he found Quigley in the hospital just recovering from an attack of acute indigestion, a complaint, by the way, which is not a very uncommon one in the prison. Judge Hunter, of Long Island City, may also be put among the notables. The Judge has been in prison now a long term of years. He misappropriated some money from an estate of which he was trustee to help him in getting back . some of his own money which he had squandered in speculation. The good money went after the bad and he went to jail. The general public have almost for- gotten about him. He has only a few more months to serve. His hair is iron gray and he looks in the very best of health. He is addressed as Judge by the officers. At presen the is a nurse in the hospital, and a very good one, too, according to all accounts. The most unpleasant part of impris- onment at Sing Sing Ofor these men is doing the lockstep and eating meals along with the common herd of thieves, thugs and murderers. They have to do that just as if they were not distinguish; ed and social leaders. ' ' NO RELATION, ONLY HER HUSBAND. Whit. Ind Walter Wu Block. and Thoy Fought.

Jamaica, L. I., boasts of what is'be- lieved to be the largest boy for his years in the United States. He is William Ludlum White, only son of Arthur M. White, one of the Vilage Trustees. William will be fifteen years old next October, and he is 6 feet. 3 inches in height and weighs 262 pounds. ‘ His size and weight have at times caused him considerable trouble. When he was attending school with boys of his own age, his gigantic statue subject- ed him to much ridicule, but he is a good natured fellow and pays no attention to it. William, when eleven years old, was just as tall as he is now. His father, when riding with him on a horse car, always ofi‘ered the conductor half fare to pay for his son’s transportation. If the conductor did not know Mr. White he would always object. Mr. White would only point to the rules,which said that three cents would be charged for children under 12 years, and so he man‘ aged to get the best of the railroad com- pany. Mr. White has three other children, but they are only of average size and weight. The father weighs 195 pounds and is 5 feet, 11 inches in height. His wife is tall and slender. The Talk of the Day. It is said that Buffalo is the world’s fifth maritime city. Rochester papers please copy. Pat Regan had a face on him that, as he had once remarked himself, was an “ofi’ince to the landscape.” Next to his homeliness his poverty was the most conspicuous part of him. An Irish neighbor met him recently, whengthe following colloquy ensued: “And how are ye, Pat?" “Moighty bad entirely. It’s shtarva— tion that’s shtarin’ me in the face.” “Is that so? Sure an’ it can’t be very pleasant for ayther of yez.”—Montana Columbian. It is said that of the 3,000 visitors to the Yellowstone National Park during the last three years not more than 100 were Americans. If the park was in Europe it would probably be visited by about 50,000 Americans :1 year. The Little Viscount to Baroness de V. —-You wouldn’t believe how absent- minded I am. baronessl It is difficult to imagine how any one can be so thoughtless. “What have you done this time?” “I had bought you a bag of sweets, and while coming along—” “You lost them?” “No, I ate them.”—La Cloche. The Albany Argus is trying the unique experiment of publishing two morning editions, one costing three cents for the city, and one costing one cent for the country. “What will you do?” she asked, sneeringly, “when women have demon- strated their superiority and men are but small secondary considerations?” “I’m not afwaid of any such condi- tions,” said Cholly. “Why not?" “When I see them thweatening I’ll go live at a summer resort.”—Washing- ton Star. ' The famous distillery of the Benedic- tine abbey at Fecamp, in France, which was destroyed by fire three years ago, has now been rebuilt, and was conse— crated along with the restored abbey, a. fortnight ago, by the Cardinal Arch- bishop of chen. The spectacle of an archbishop consecrating a distillery is somewhat startling, but it cannot hurt the liquor, and the archbishop doubtless has good reasons. —Buffalo Commercial. “No, we don’t pal much with the Americans,” said an English sailor at Kiel. “You see, they are a mixed lot. They’re Siveides and Norwegians and- niggers. but I never met a sailor who was a real American, and so we don't . pal with them, although we have noth- ing against them.” Is there something in the thirteen superstition, after all? On the 13th of this month an Ohio man left home with only 13 cents in his pocket. Ex- actly thirteen minutes afterward he was informed that an uncle who had recent- ly died left him $13,000. Mrs. Citybred (just arrived at the county farm) —What well-behaved chil- dren you have, Mr. Comtossle! Corntossle—Yes, they’re well enough now, but you should see ’em in the fall. After watchin’ the ways of the city folk all summer, they’re that sarcy .and pert there’s no livin’ with ’em.—- Boston Transcript. Iron and Prosperity. The iron industry lies so near the foundation of commercial prosperity that great significance attaches to the rapid and steady increase of activity in that business at the great producing centers. This increase is most nota- ble. . ' For the first time in many years the mills at Pittsburg are running through the hot season; the manufacturers can- not afiord to stop. During the past fortnight mills that have been idle for two years have been leased and will be put in operation. It is estimated that there are more ' men at work in the steel, iron and tin trades than at any time since the panic, earning larger wages and assured of .7 steady employment into next year. All this is made possible by the in- crease in the pricept‘ steel billetsfion which wages and business are based. And this increase is caused by the la;- ger demand for iron in its structural and commercial forms for use in other industries. The country is building more, is manufacturing more, is ex- tending old enterprises and. undertaking new ones; and the flush times in the iron business only reflects the prosperity growing up all over the land. CHICAGO FAST MAIL. PLANS FOR DISTRIBUTING THE MAIL OF CHICAGO A MILE A MINUTE. An Underground Trolley System to 30 Worked by Electricity. Advantages Over the Pneumatic Tubes' of Philadel- phia or the Overhead Trolley. The Chicago Tribune says: Chicago will have the finest mail distributing system in the world. Think of mail coursing through ' subterranean passage- ways at the rate of a mile a minute! Yet that is what Postmaster Hesing, Superintendent John A. Montgomery, and Electrician Richard E. Sherman declare to be a demonstrated reality. Nothing like it exists in the world, and without doubt Chicago will be the first cityto give the new scheme a practical trial. Last fall John A. Montgomery, Su- perintendent of Mails, made a trip to Philadelphia to investigate the pneu- matic tube mail service in that city. Upon his return he said to Electrician R. E. Sherman: “Sherman, why can’t you invent an underground apparatus which will car- ry all our mails? Maybe you don’t know it, but we handle from 275 to 300 tons of mail a day. Why not get up an underground electrical car system by which all this stuff can be transmitted from,the,_sub~,stgticns .to ; thg, central of;~ fice and thence to the depots?" That was enough. Sherman caught the idea, returned to his laboratory, and soon perfected the system. The details were forwarded to Washington and a. patent secured June 27. An ordinance was introduced in the City Council granting to Sherman, his successors or assigns, permission and authority to op- erate electrical tubes and electrical conduits, with all suitable switches, branches, turnouts, connections and stations along, under, and upon any of the streets, alleys, avenues, tunnels, viaducts, and under the Chicago River and its various branches for the pur- pose of collecting, receiving, conveying, carrying and transmitting United States mail packages and all other suitable commodities. The ordinance further. provides that the construction work shall be under the direction of‘the Com- missioner of Public Works, and that a deposit of $10,000 shall be made. Pro- vision is also made that in the construc- tion of the system a sum not less than $50,000 shall be expended the first three years. The company is also to pay into the city treasury 30 per cent. perannum of the gross receipts. “The system will cost $300,000,” said Electrician Sherman. "Conduits will be run from the postoffice to all the sub- stations, depots and newspaper offices. These conduits will have to go below the cables and gas pipes—probably from eight to twelve feet below the surface. Steel motor cars weighing about 170 pounds each will be run between ‘T’ rails, and will carry from 50 to 100 pougls. “ 0th the speed and distance can be regulated by dial. The maximum speed is over a mile a minute. Four trailers can be attached to each car. When the car approaches within 500 feet of its destination 3. bell is sounded at the re- f ceiving office and rings until the mail is l removed. “The underground system of mail transmission has the advantage over the midair system in that rails can be used instead of wires, thus permitting of heavier burdens, and there is perfect safety in transmission.” She Understood the Trick. “A short time ago,” said Deputy United States Marshal Harris, “an old rancher up in the mountains of Lake County grew tired of walking five 3 miles over the hills to get the county paper from his mail box, so he felled a big tree across the road so that the stage would be compelled to travel a longer route that led past his house. A warrant was issued for his arrest for Oh- structing the United=States mails, and I went up to serve it. "‘I found the old man sitting on his back porch smoking his corncob pipe, and commenced reading the warrant: ‘The President of the United States sends greeting.’ barrel of a muzzle loading rifle was shoved out the kitchen door and aimed at my head. I saw a. nervous little gray-headed woman at the other end of the gun with her finger on the trigger. through the buckhorn sight as she re- marked: “You git, and don’t you come snoop- in’ roun’ hyur ag’in. The President senthis greetin’s onct before when the ole man out some timber on Govem— ment land, an’ it cost him ’bout a hun- dred dollars and mighty nigh a month in jail. Then he found out that the President didn’t know nuthin’ about it. If the President wants to be friendly with the ole man he’ll have to come right hyur without sendin’ no greet’ins.

Said she in accents which told how she had sufiered: “George McStayer, you are not indif- ferent to me; I will be your wife if you will only ask me, and if you don’t want me, say so.
