DEAD THIRTY YEARS.
CAOE OF A PRISONER IN NEW

ocence of tlia Crime,
ai rough tho
clemency of former
Gov. Morton thcro
will omorgo from
prison walls Into
freedom next
spring a man who
has suffered a liv
ing death for more
than thlrty-ono
years. Tho first
thoticht that nat
urally comes Is that this man will ho
almost ovcrcomo with Joy at tho pros
pect of his release But on second
thought, says tho Albany Express,
grave doubt arises as to whether this
unfortunato man wl.l bo oven as con
tent ns ho must liavo learned to bo In
prison when ho Is again out In tho
world, freo to go whero ho pleases.
Ho hlmsolf probably has no such doubt
now, but It Is much to bo feared that
whon tho prison doors have closod bo
hlnd him ho will rcnllzo what It Is
impossible for him to realize now.
At tho ngo of 6G years ho will bo
utterly alono in tho world, without re
sources, without physical strength to
mako his way through what llttlo of
life may remain to him. Sho that was
his wlfo, if Bho still lives, is tho wife
of another, for he was legally dead
whon tho life sontonco had been Im
posed upon him and sho exercised her
right to marry again; thoso who woro
his friends all thoso years ago aro dead

Old Timet.
Ho had to bo a bold man who mar
ried a widow, for a few rudo Jokes and
a clattering serenade wcro not the only
punishments awarded him, says Llp
plncott's. Ho was deprived of benoflt
of clergy. Dcneflt of clergy was tho
prlvllego claimed by priests to bo tried
before tho ecclesiastical courts.ln which
offenders wcro nearly nlways sure of
acquittal. Laymen aUo enjoyed the
privilege if they possessed the extreme
ly small amount of knowlcdgo requi
site for ordination. Reading and writ
ing wero at a premium and a man un
der sentence of death who could read
a psalm might plead his clergy and
cscapo tho penalty of having his
"height shortened by a hood." In tho
ages when tho custom originated learn
ing was too raro and precious to bo
destroyed. A man might bo a mur
derer, but if ho wero the only man In
town who could read It was not expe
dient to kill him. By the abuse of
this prlvllego, however, It camo to bo
that a man in England could commit
murder, raplno or theft and bo ab
solved from punishment by glibly
reading n few words. This proclouB
privilege, which was n Uconso to crime,
was taken away from n man who com
mitted bigamy. A man who had tak
en n widow to wlfo could no longer kill
or steal with Impunity; ho hod no long
er benefit of clergy. Tho unfortunato
fnrt that his wlfo had had another
spouse rendered tho living husband
amenable to tho civil law.

There is nono to whom ho can turn for
sympathy, for aid or oven for the op
portunity of making a living. More
over, thoro will como to him, as nover
beforo, porhops, tho realization that
his life, with all tho opportunities
which It might have held, has all but
passed away.
Gov. Morton, beforo tho expiration of
his term, commuted tho llfo sentenco
of George E. Gordon, now In Donne
mora prison, to fifty-two years, so
that ho will bo released on May 8 next,
tho time off for good behavior being
allowed. Gordon was sentenced in this
city In 18GG to llfo imprisonment, after
conviction of tho imirdor of a stock
drover by tho namo of Thompson In
the West Albany cattlo yards. Gordon
wns a resident of Grcenbush 'and was
35 years of ago when convlctod.
Tho application for pardon has been
on flo In tho oxecutlvo chamber for
twenty years and was signed by some
of tho most prominent pcoplo nnd pub
lic officials In Rensselaer county. Gor
don is at prcsont tho prison librarian
at Duunomora, and his good conduct
during his long confinement, together
with tho fact that ho has nhvnya con
tended that ho did not commit tho
crlmo, led to tho governor's favorable
action on tho application for clemency.
Under tho law at that tlmo a person
charged with murder could not testify
In his own bchnlf, but ho then do

The actions of an organization in
Shelby county, Indiana, calling them
selves "White Caps" is causing consid
erable complaint, and tho grand Jurylamong alienists,
will be called together to investlgato
their proceedings. Tho other morning
Hiram Fox, a promlnont young farm
er, received a letter Informing him that
If he persisted in contending for hi
interest in a caso In court ho would ba
murdered. Friends came to the city;
and Indignantly demanded that the
grand Jury bo convened and tho guilty
parties be ferreted out. Later in the
day It was learned that Claude McDon

for Fox, had opened his door one morn
ing to find a noto which read:

four hours from now wo will hang you

This bo frightened McDonald that all
that has been found of him was his
coat, hat and vest on the bnnks of Flat
Rock river. His body has been
searched for without effect. Great ex
cltemcnt exists over tho affair.
OT so many moons
ago there lived In
Turin a physician
noted far and wide
as a specialist of
brain d i s o ascs.
Men and women
from all ends of
the earth camo to
him with their
troubles and ail
ments, with lost
mcmories.hallucinatlonsnnd mental va
garies as varied as the materia mcdlca
or the penal code, says San KranclBco
Wave. Uniformly courteous nnd grace
ful of manner, he afforded them such
assistance of consolation as his skill
or sympathy prescribed and waxed
rich and popular as his fame expanded.
With tho development of fortune, for
his fees were In proportion to his
prominence, ho cultivated a pleasing
tosto for thoso precious relics of an
tiquity In which millionaires nlono are
privileged to Indulge. Ho had In his
library a collection of costly objects of
art Invaluable coins, raro Jewels, cost
ly statuettes, Inimitable trifles chased
by the chisels of great artisans of an
tiquity. The fame of his treasures was
loud in tho world's ears with the note
of his skill nnd among collections his

One day there came to the residence
of Dr. A an American gentleman
of dignified address and that statell

mitted to the great man's office, the
visitor introduced himself as a banker
who had como all tho way from Chi
cago to consult him about the condi
tion of his wife.
At considerable length ho explained
her misfortune sho was a kleptoma
niac. His life was a burden to him,
following her from store to store, con
tinually guarding her reputation
against tho encroachment of her fin

That Is tho ailment and, of course,
whatever she takes will be returned tc
you at once. My references aro So-and-So,
bankers." This with much
dignity and tho production of docu
ments. Dr. A , much flattored, made tho
appointment nnd bowed his patient to
tho door. Next day the unhappy htiB
band and a stylish and handsome
young woman presented themselves at
the physician's residence.
They wero formally ushered into tho
library, whero the gems of tho groat
man's collection wero enshrined, The
conversation wob turned at once on the
objects of art and Dr. A , with won
derful subtlety, conversed on an
tlqultlcs whilo obtaining material for
his diagnosis. Ho brought out hlB
treasures wonderful coins, with
strange Inscriptions, a bracelet of gold
curiously wrought nnd Inscribed, a
silver statuctto modeled by Uenvenuto
Cellini historic rarities on which he
dlscantcd with much graceful learn
ing. Every now and then tho lady
slipped Into her pockot or dropped Into
her parasol a coin, a Jewel, a vase,
and as Bho did so her husband winked
at Dr. A to draw attention to her
theft. When tho physician finally
gavo tho signal that lie had learned all
ho required sho had accumulated tho
rarest of his possessions and yet pro
pared to deport with an Inimitable as
surance of manner.
"I'll bo back within nn hour," said
tho Chicago banker, "with those things
my wlfo has taken. Poor, poor girl!"
ho burst out. "Doctor, my fortune,
my llfo are yours if you can but euro
her." He fled after his spouse, han
kerchlef in hand, and the alienist, with
prospects of a big fee in his mind, re
turned to his patients.
Two hours passed, then three, then
the Interval lengthened to five. Dr.
A , rather alarmed, sent his servant
to tho American's hotel to save him
tho trouble of returning tho missing
Jewels. Tho servant returned. No
person of tho name was stopping there.
Tho pollco wero called In, descriptions
given, dectectlves went forth. They
identified the culprits, who had time
to mako their escape. They wero Lon

An Italian woman In Now York was
splitting wood on a firo cscapo of a
New York tenement, whllo Rocco Do
VlaBco, aged G, was playing in tho yard
below. To .split a tough pleco of wood
tho woman laid It across tho railing
and struck at It with all her strength.
Tho ax-handle slipped from her bonds
and tho keen ax descended with fright
ful rnpldlty, striking tho child squaro
ly on tho head, killing him Instantly.
Whon such accidents aro mado a crlmo
carelessness will cease.
Somo plants .have not only roots run
ning Into tho soil from tho bottom of
tho trunk, but also roots running from
tho branches or from other loots first
Into tho air nnd then into tho eotl.
These latter roots aro In somo sort
supplementary organs, mode to aid tho
roots properly so called, and they take
tho place of tho first roots when from
any causo the latter aro destroyed.
In the case of wheat and In fact nearly
all of the grass family tho stem gives
birth to now roots. In tho tropical for
ests of America and Asia grows the
vanilla, that plant so much sought after
for its delicious flavoring properties.
This plant is found twining round tho
trees like nn aerial gnrlond, Ita stem,
long, elegant and flexlblo, a beautiful
ornament of thoso solitudes. The sub
terranean roots of tho vanilla are not
able to supply it with tho nourishment
It needs, but nature has prepared n
means of supplying tho deficiency.
TIiIb menns Is tho growing of adventi
tious roots at every llttlo Interval along
tho main stom. Thcso reach down nnd
incroaso tho supply of nourishment.
Not all of these roots seek the grouud,
but somo float in tho air gathering
molsturo and gases which the plant
freely ubcb. Tho above Is an illustra
tion of a vanilla plant growing in tho
glass gardens of plants at Paris.-
nics of society who fill our Jails, says
.ho Iondon Times. Mr. Douglas Mor
rison, In a paper rend not long ago be
foro the Statistical society, tells us that
this belief rests on no solid founda
tion and thnt when the facts are an
alyzed It becomes highly doubtful
whether thcro has been more than a
nominal decrease of crime. Thero Is
no doubt that tho figures genernlly
quoted In support of the view which
every ono would fnln believe do not suh
Etantlate It. Tho explanation of many
of tho facts which seem at
first sight to Justify optim
ism and self-congratulation lies
in a movement , which Influences,
consciously or unconsciously, all per
sons administering tho criminal law
tho growth of n feeling of distrust of
tho efficacy of severe sentences and of
n conviction oa to their mischlevous
ness in many cases, nnd pity ond ten
derness toward a large class of crimi
nals who are thought to be tho vic
tims of circumstances.
It has been said that Victor Hugo's
picturo of Jean Valjean, tho outcast
with noblo Instincts, who tries again
and again to extricate himself from a
coll of misfortunes, and who again nnd
again succumbs in the struggle, pro
foundly Influenced the administration
of tho French criminal lnw, and for
many years that spirit of pity and tol
eration which the French poet deplet
ed In "Les Misorables" has been every
where In the air.
It is therefore right to caution tho
public against confounding the diminu
tion In tho number of offenders detain
ed In prison in consequence of a wiso
mitigation of the severity of tho crim
inal law with corresponding decreaso
In tho amount of crime. It is Just pos
sible, however, that in avoiding ono
extreme Mr. Morrison has ptiBhed his
point too far and has given counte
nance to a despondent view as llttlo
.Justified as tho optimism which ho con
demns. In interpreting the only avail
able figures tho Increased vigilance of
tho pollco Is an clement senrcely to bo
overrated. A scarcely less Important
element Is thnt of publicity. Every of
fenso Is noted. Tho chances of detec
tion are probably greatly Increased In
these days, whon every household be
comes aware of tho porson "wanted"
for any crlmo of magnitude. To know
that crime generally Is Increasing Is to
know very little. It may mean no
moro than thnt certain offense ngninst
pollco regulations have Increased or
diminished. Tho morality of tho coun
try may bo steadily rising though the
convictions for breaches of tho educa
tion nets are Increasing.
There Is a senslblo diminution of
certain offenses most indicative of a
licentious spirit. Property Is respect
ed more th'au It wns, and some crimes
connected therewith nnd productive of
others for example, receiving stolon
goods in somo towns bid fair to dis
appear. On tho other hand, there Is no sign
of reduction In certain other crlmbs
which appear to como In tho train of
material prosperity. Tho report we get
is both of good and of evil. Of tho
ical cnuses of crlmo and of the extent
to which It can bo prevented by prac
ticable measures Mr, Morrison's figures
tell ono llttlo that Is positive. More
than 2,000 years ngo Euripides ex
pounded tho theory of the crlmlnel-ne
under which Lombroso, Marro nnd
Ferrl have lately labored. Tho Greek
writer puts Into tho mouth of ono of
his characters tho reflection that,
whereas land naturally barren may
yield a good harvest If tho season bo
good, and fortllo land may bo sterile
If tho season bo unkindly, men aro al
ways what they arc; tho good always
good, even In tho pinch of hard circum
stances, tho bad nlwnys bad the crlm-inel-ne
cortnln to bo In the dock, how
ever carefully the philanthropist look
after him. What truth thero Is In this
view, how far tho standing array of
crlmo consists of this element, how far
of people not much worse disposed but
less lucky than others statisticians do
not toll ub perhaps they never will.
But In that direction lies tho Interest
of the present nnd, still more, that of
tks future
SCIENCE AND PRESENTIMENTS
Phenomena Unually Buceptlbto of
Telepathic Kzplanatlou.
Nino times In the course of my llfo
I have had what Is called a "presenti
ment." Eight times I wroto It down
at once before learning whether it
was true or false, nnd tho ninth tlmo I
spoke of it, says Applcton's Sclcnco
Monthly. Three of thcso were false,
ono partly true and partly false, ono
was not verified, but probably false.
All thcso related to subjects In my
thoughts and wero probably suggest
ed by circumstances. Four wcro true,
of which ono might hnve been sug
gested by circumstances. The other
threo wcro not only true and not ap
parently suggested by circumstances,
but wcro among the most agitating ex
periences of my life. Ono drove tne,
in spite of the rcslstanco of my roason,
to take a Journey which oecmed the
act of n lunatic, and proved tho wisest
thing I could do. Another Impelled
mo to write a letter to n person 350
miles nway, to whom I had written a
few hours before, but who happened to
bo in great trouble nt the moment I
felt tho Impulse. Tho third gavo mo
absolute nssuranco thnt the very thing
wns about to happen which I believed
to be of all things most Impossible. I
do not, of courso, quoto these fow ex
periences as proving tho existence of
telepathy, but merely was illustrating
what I mean by "apparently telepathic
phenomena."
Tho vast majority of apparently su
pcrnormnl phenomena aro susceptlblo
of , telepathic explanation, but in a
few cases one Is driven to other con
ceptions. Sometimes knowlcdgo Is
shown of events not known to anyone,
nnd nt other times n percipient will
seem to "sto" things at a distance, or
to become nwnrc of events remote In
time.
SPARROW, CAT AND BOY.
Lad Ileal the Record by Acting the)
Good Hamnrltan.
On the Bouthweat corner of Frank
lin square a stately elm stands. It is
no He to say trees stand, says tho Wash
ington Times. They have a deep-rooted
conUctlon that their mission In life
is to stand. Well, this particular elm
stood. It still stands, nnd stands still.
At high noon ono day thero was n
crowd around the tree, but they weron't
watching It stand. They were used to
that. Away out on the topmost tip
of a slender branch hung a sparrow.
Somehow it had become entangled in
a piece of twine and could not extricate
itself. This in Itself wns bad enough,
but there was worse behind. A big
black cat was also out on tho branch
nnd glaring hungrily at tho sparrow.
The cat had crept out after the Impris
oned bird, until the branch, bending
beneath tho cat's weight, had warned
his catshlp that further advance was,
perhaps, a prologue to n fall. But the
Bparrow didn't know this, and, while
struggling with nil Ub puny strength
to free itself, it was plteously bewail
ing Its possible fnto in Bparrow lan
guage. This was what tho crowd was
looking at. Tho crowd yelled nt
kinds of things at tho cat; but tho cat
kept Its hungry eyes on tho sparrow.
Then a small boy with a slungshot
happened along. Small boys with
slungshots are not generally welcome
In civilization, but this ono received
an ovation when ho knocked tho cat
off tho limb at tho first shot, which
shook the sparrow free and dropped
it unnurt into tne small boy s cap,
which he held under tho limb to re
ceive it.

A remarkable phenomena In the
Island of Tilnadad is the "Pitch lake,"
situated at La Brca, the capital of the
island. It is about ono and a half
miles in circumference and elevated
about eighty feet abovo tho level of the
sea. The water Is covered almost en
tirely with n stratum of asphaltum,trn
vcrsed by Assures nnd crovlccs filled
with water. The pitch ot tho sides
is perfectly hard and cold, but as one
walks toward tho middle the heat grnd
ually Increases and the pitch becomes
softer and softer. At last it is seen
boiling up In a liquid state nnd the air
is strongly Impregnated with bitumen
nnd sulphur. During tho rainy sea
