Although th eaaa of Tom Dennlson has
been finally submitted for the considera

is fugitive from Justice, a new phase
of his trial has com from th offio ot
Klmrr K. Thomas, from which manats

of what haa been done, what Is doing and
what may be expected In the Interest of
Justice as tho result of the efforts of
Mr. Thomas and his clients, th Civio Fed

termed "a remarkable statement" by O. O.

of the Jewelers' Protective, association.
Mr. Fessenden, according to a local after

F0NTANELLESF0MENT STRIFE
Board of . Governors t'res Howell
to Become a "Petltloa
Caadldate.
At an executive 'session of the board of
governors of the Fontanello club Saturday
evening the principal suuject under dis
cussion was Howell's candidacy for water
commissioner.
Mr. Howell was questioned on the matter
before and after the mooting, and on both
occasions he said he would have to await
"developments" before he would commit
himself. He did not care to say whether
he would or would not make the race as a
petition candidate. Members of ' the Frm
tanelle board of managers freely expressed
themselves after the meeting as being for
Howell and several said they were confi
dent he would allow his name to be used.
"Citisens all over tho city have asked
Mr. Howell to go on as a petition candidate,
and I am Inclined to think he will do so,'
said one of the governors.
Lengthy preambles and resolutions were
adopted, refusing to recognise Charles F.
Weller as candidate of the Fontanello club
for tho offlqe' of 'water comml?ibner, and
pledging the support of its members to R. B.
Howell, urging him to become a candidate
by petition and declaring In favor of the
Nash opposition to the establishment of a
municipal, electric lighting plant. In con
nection with the latter, the Fontancllelte
say that the purchase of the waterworks
Is the paramount issue before tho people
now, and that they are opposed to any
scheme looking to the acquirement of other
municipal utilities until the purchase of the
water piunt shall have been consummated.
Blind Yoath'a Dolaga.
Stephen Melllnger of Denver, Pa., does
things remarkable in one who moves, as he
does. In continual darkness. When Mel
llnger, now 18 years of age, waa I years
old, he blinded himself Incurably with a
hatchet. He has so adapted himself to his
condition that he acts virtually as If In
the possession of his eyesight. HI mis
fortune has not been allowed to Interfere
in the least with his usefulness. His
senses of touch and hearing are very keen.
He works In the field. He sows, uses the
rake and spade, helps harvest the crops,
milks, climbs trees, and. what Is still more
remarkable, drives spirited horses and rides
a bicycle. The boy Is as bright and
cheerful as any of his associates. He is
able to harness a horse unaided and to
drive several miles to th village, wher
th household supplies ara obtained. Every
morning It Is his uuty to hitch a horse to
a milk wagon and drive a mile to Denver
village. In this drive he Is compelled to
cross railroad tracks at two points. Bpir
Ited horses aro his delight, and two be
longing to his. father, which are too wild
for the average man to handle with safety,
are used by him without a thought of dan
ger. It Is unwise for other persons than
he to approach these animals. The young
man does not work, ride or walk In
hesitating manner, after the usual fashion
of the blind. H takes a fast horse out on
the road and gallops at full speed, turning
out for vehicles and other horses and
rounding sharp corners without pulling up.
On hi wheel be ride a If possessed of
full sight and can bo seen alone mile
from his borne Leslie's Weekly.
Tho New Breakfast Food.
A little girl who was eating codfish ' for
breakfast the other morning for the first
time waa seen to atop and examine her
plate with deep Intereet.
"Mamma," she asked, presently, "what
kind of fish la this? I've Just found a hair
in It,"
"It Is codfish, dear," was the answer.
"Oh," commented her dangtrter, in a dis
appointed tone. "I thoug-h1 probably It
waa mermaid." Harper's : Weekly.

RESCUED FROM A RUNAWAY
Two Children, Helpless Throaga Fear,
Saved by Conrageoas
Policeman.
Tho prompt action and bravery of two
policemen, 8ergent McBrlde and Patrol
man Patrick Mulqueen of the Stanton
avenue station, Chicago, was all that saved
two little schoolgirls from probably Instant
death recently.. Without an Instant's
hesitation the two policemen threw them
selves in the way of a runaway horse that
was bearing down upon the girls, and,
thrusting them out of the way, grasped the
horse by th bridle and brought It to a
standstill.
Delia and Dora Doollttle, aged 10 and 11
years, respectively, who live with their
parent at S447 Vernon avenue, are th chil
dren who owe their lives to the two offi
cer. They wer on tholr way to school
and were crossing Thirty-fifth street, when
a horse belonging to M. Thorp, a commis
sion dealer of 4159 Cottage Grove avenue,
suddenly dashed around th corner of
Rhodes avenue, and, turning Into the
street, bore down upon the tittle girls.
Delia was the. first to become aware of
tho Impending danger. Aroused by a scream
from a woman on the. sidewalk, she raised
her head and saw the frensled animal ap
proaching. "Oh, Dora," was all she could
say, as she dropped her books and stood
staring In terror. Her sister, following
Delia's glance, saw th horse, and she, too,
wa stricken with fear.
It was at this stage that the policemen
Intervened and probably saved the lives of
the school children. . Patrolman Mulqueen,
seeing the danger that the children were In,
sprang for the horse's head, but owing to
the speed at which the animal waa running
failed to reach the rein, and was forced to
hang to the harness. He hung on gamely,
and clung to the horse, which now swerved
to the right and attempted to shake Its
load.
In the meantime Sergeant McBrlde had
run into the middle of the street. With
one move he pushed the two little, girls
who were still standing In the path of the
runaway to the sidewalk, and the next In
stant leaped for the animal's head as It
reached him. still dragging the plucky Mul
queen. Grasping the bridle he lent hi
strength to that of the patrolman, and be
tween them they finally succeeded in bring
ing the panting horse to a standstill.
Neither of th policemen was Injured, and
the little girls, although badly frightened,
escaped without . a scratch. The greatest
harm done was to the frock of Dora, who
tripped and fell In the mud, when pushed
out of harm's way by the brawny sergeant.
The parents of the little girls when they
heard of their children's narrow escape,
were filled with gratitude. The father and
mother both paid visit to the station
house last evening and thanked the heroes
In person for their brave act.
"Pshaw, that was nothing." said Patrol
man Mulqueen, modestly. "I saw the little
tot there and knew they were In danger.
But It's nothing to stop a runnway. If you
know how." Chicago , Inter Ocean. '
