MUXCIE, InJ., - March 80. "Bill," the trusty shepherd dog belonging to Sheriff "William Sherry, captured another escaping prisoner .last night. The dog was a "stray." coal-black, mongrel, . when taken in by the officers and given a home some months ago, and he has proved himself worthy all the kindness bestowed on him by the sheriff. Recently a couple of prisoners escaped from the workhouse and In the chase the dog followed the superintendent. He caught up with one of the men and, running in front of him. forced him to stop. The dog had had no training in catching thieves, but since then turn-key EJ Holmes has been training "Hill" to chase escaped prisoners. Last evening, a couple of vagrants broke from the crowd while being taken from the works to the jail. The superintendent, rould not leave the other men and Sheriff (Sherry ran after one. firing his revolver every Jump, but the fellow made good his escape. Deputy "Bill" was close at hand and, unobserved, had given chase to the other convict. Going through the courtrouse yard the dog made several leaps at the man's throat, finally getting his teeth fastened In the man's coat near the throat, where he held fast and would not be shook off until Mr. Sherry chanced to be going to his office and discovered his dog and prisoner In what looked to be a deadly comhat. The man was returned to Jail and the oog made actions that plainly spoke his '2y at capturing the prisoner. Hereafter ine dog will be on hand when the men are ing transferred from one building to the other. He is already fairly lionized in courthouse circles and gets the best there is to eat in the sheriff's household. 1XDIAXA DEATHS. Dr. .1. II. Wei of Mlddletown, a . Mason and Old Army Snrgeou.

One Knockout In Six Events nt the New York Athletic Club. NEW YORK, March 30. The New York Athletic Club's seventh subscription boxing entertainment was brought off to-night, at the clubhouse, on West Thirty-fifth street. There were six events on the programme, each of six roinds, at weights ranging from 1C5 to 160 pounds. By the time the first pair entered the ring there were 1,503 members and guests present. The opening bout was between Fred Morris, of Philadelphia, and Dick Baker, of Now York, at 160 pounds. Both are colored men and evenly matched as to weight and reach. There was some severe fighting, and when time was called Morris claimed a foul. Baker made the same claim, and the judges disagreeing referee Moore awarded the fight to Morris. "Kia" McPartland, of Chicago, and Eddie Curry, of New York, were the next pair. They fought at 118 pounds. The first round was very tame. In the second the Chicagoan landed four times with his left on the neck and head, but the blows were not heavy enough to do any damage. The "Kid" did most of the leading. The third was a succession of ducking and stopping on both' sides. There were a couple of sharp exchanges in the fourth, and both men sported a black eye when it was over. " The fifth round was a little more lively, while the sixth was an improvement on the other five. McPartland landed on the face half a dozen times, and Curry was bleeding badly where the gong struck. McPartland got the decision. Great things were expected when Sam Bolen and Joe Hopkins, both, colored, of New York, entered the ring- to; wir 1 up the regular programme. Bolen recently stood off George Dixon for six rounds in the same ring, and was declared a winner over Eddie Lober at the new Manhattan Club last Tuesday night. In the first round Bolen and Hopkins sparred carefully and spent the greater part of the three minutes in feeling each othef up. Bolen tripped and fell, but was up again in a moment, but beyond a few light passes there were no blows struck in this round. Both men sparred for fully a minute in the second round, and then Hopkins followed Bolen around the ring. Suddenly his right shot out, catching Bolen on " the point of the . jaw, flooring him heavily. The: referee counted the seconds slowly while Bolen ' seemed to be trying to stand on his head. and finally feu over and lay on nis oacK as if dead. Hopkins was declared the winner and Bolen was carried to his corner. It took the seconds several minutes to bring him to, and then he had to be helped out of the r'-ng. "Young Griffo" then came on for an exhibition three-round bout with Eddy Curry, who had boxed earlier in the evening. OBITUARY. . Randolph B. Martlne, a Well-Known New York Jadge.

Americans Reauested Not to Believe Stories of Spanish Victories, f Memage to Americans. KEY WEST, Fla., March 30. The following message has been forwarded here by one of the several correspondents in Cuba:" "This is for the information of our friends in the United States. I would ask the American people not to believe the stories of insurgent defeats coming from government sources. They are false. We are more than holding our own. By the middle of June we will have twenty thousand men in the field. We feel sure of the sympathy of all Americans." A passenger arriving from Havana to-day says the Cubans laugh at soldiers being sent over from Spain. They say it is almost certain that yellow fever will kill half of any number Spain may send over. The insurgents are wanting for June, when the sugar plantations wil be idle, to begin their active aggressive movements. There is much feeling among the Spaniards in Havana against America and Americans. They seem to think the United States is itching for a chance to take possession of the island. A prominent merchant, in this connection, says if any American man of war should appear at the mouth of the harbor she would be blown out of the water. There is undoubtedly a deep sentiment in favor of knocking a chip off Urrcle Sam's shoulder. It is alto an undoubted fact that it would be the sign for anarchy and bloodshed all over the island. - Preparing? to Wipe Out the Rebels. HA , March 30.

The amalgamated association committee was instructed by th lodges represented not to accept the reduction. No agreement has yet been reached, but it i believed that a strike will be averted. If the reduction is not agreed to the present scale will probably remain in force until the next national agreement. , Miner Secession Meeting a. Flxsle.. COLUMBUS, O., March CO.

Experience of Captain Storer on a Voyage from Japanese Ports. NEW YORK, March 30. Captain Storer, commanding the American ' ship John McDonald, from Japanese ports, which arrived off quarantine directly, after sunset to-night, brings into port in irons . a mutinous member of his crew who attempted to murder the ship's chief officer. Capt. Storer shipped his crew of able seamen, who are of mixed nationalities, at Yokohama. Among them was -ohn Fitzgerald, who hails from New York. After the vessel had left port it was found that he had made several voyages as a second mate, but had been reduced on account of bad character. He had been knocking about the Japanese ports for months, looking for a berth as mate, at last deciding to ship with the John McDonald as an able seaman in order to get passage home. During the early part of the voyage Fitzgerald proved a firstclass man, except that he preferred to leave for others the more menial duties pertaining to the common sailors. First Officer MacLeod insisted on Fitcrerald doing all of the work for which he was em iloyed. The latt r c.nceived a dead y enmity toward the mat?. He was several t me heard to mu: .hreats by other mem-era of the crew, who warned tneir chief to look out for h m. Final y, on March 17, when the ship was ninety-five days out, tha two men came together. First Officer MacLeod ordered F.tzgeiald to a menial task he particularly oisbked. He was called, alter giving the order, but instead of going to work, he walked forward of the gailey and sat down. MacLeod immediately followed him thire aad was adm.n.stering another rebuke, whkh Fitzgerald, overcome with anger, resented by making a rush for MacLeod's throat with a razor, which he evidently had concealed for that purpose. The lunga wa3 a vicous one, but instead of slash ng the throat, his victim dodged sufficiently to receive the blade on his left cheek and jaw. It went in deep, with a long semi-circular cut, laying the cheek open for seven inches. The crew, seeing a struggle, rushed forward and met McLeod running aft, the blood spurting from the wound as he ran. The wounded man succeeded in reaching the after cabin, where the captain, seeing his condition, immediately went on deck and ordered Fitzgerald placed In irons and confined in the drying room in the forward house. MacLeod's wound was dressed by the steward, and it was feared he would succumb from loss of blood, but he evidently rallied and is now out of danger. During the succeeding days of the voyage the captain noticed a disposition on the part of the balance of the crew to become very friendly with the criminal. Fearing further mutiny he ordered the ship's carpenter to partition off the drying room, so that the crew could not reach or converse with Fitzgerald. In spite of all precautions the prisoner succeeded in getting possession of an did file, and was discov-. ered yesterday morning with the irons severed from both hands and feet. He was immediately placed in new iron? and removed to the lazaretto and the hatch closely battened down. TAYLOR IN CHILE. South Dakota's EnibesElIng Treasurer Said to Be at Valparaiso. PIERRE, S. D., March 30. Ex-State Treasurer Taylor, of South Dakota, has been located at Valparaiso, Chile, where he expects to be safe from extradition. He left Havana five weeks ahead of the Pinkerton detectives. A dispatch from Washington says: Senor Gana, the Chilean minister, said to-night that there was no trteaty or special convention between his country and the United States for the extradition of persons charged with crime from one jurisdiction to the other. The above conditions existing, the apprehension and surrender by the government of Chile, it Taylor has sought refuge in that country, will be made simply as an act of international courtesy on the part of the Chilean government and Jannot legally be demanded by the United States. A request for Taylor's extradition would, it is possible, receive favorable consideration from that country. THE BEX DAVIS APPLE. How a Man from Old Steuben Was Set Back When He Found It. New York Sun. "Bet a hen you don't know what a Ben Davis apple Is," said a confident Steuben county man. "Bet two hens. We people here in York State think we know a heap, but I'll make it three hens that you can take in all the country between the Hudson and the lakes and you can't find a man, woman or child that knows what a Ben Davis apple is. Leaving out me, of course. And I never knew what a Ben Davis apple was myself until I went to Egypt. That's the only country they grow the Ben Davis in Egypt, Illinois. "Say, we used up a good deal o' wind talking about our apple orchards along the Hudson and out in western New York, as if there hadn't been any apples anywhere else since the crop Adam and Eve gathered, but I want to tell you that we ain't in it with Egypt. No, sir. Why, that part of Egypt known as Clay county has got more than 50,000 acres of apple orchard alone, and Wayne county has almost as many, with Richland and Marion counties crowding Wayne's heels pretty close. Was I set back when I went down Into Egypt? Was I? Well, it takes something to set a man from old Stooben back, and Egypt . had it. I don't mind telling you that I was set back. Clear back. "You see, I was traveling out that way swelled up with the feeling that I was from ' the garden spot of all creation,cif there was any garden spot, and I felt sorry for folks I met on the way that they were so far from old Stooben, ana I s'pose I showed it. When I struck the prairies of Illinois a man who sat in front of me turned and said to me: " 'Right smart turn of farmin' land, stranger.' " 'Yes,' I said, almost inclined to tell the man I'd pay his fare if he'd go back with me and take a look at some real country, 'but there don't seem to be much else but farming land. Now, where I live we -bud and blossom. We bloom. You don't have any fruit out this way. You seem to be only of the earth earthy. Where I live we are of the fruit fruity. Ill fares the land. I said, 'to hastening ills a prey, where wealth accumulates from corn and hay. It used to be the caper,' I said, 'but it don't go now. Fruit. Fruit is what you want, and you ain't got any.' 'Would apples come under that headin?' asked the man. " 'Would they?" said I. 'Would apples come under that heading? Well, they'd only stand first under it, that's all. Apples! Well, I should say so. 'There is no fruit on earth like apples. Red, green, yellow or streaky, what so luscious as apples? What so fragrant as apples? What so beautious as apples? And what can you get applejack from but apples? My friend, ifd be worth your while to go with me to old Stooben and gaze ence on apples.' " 'I'm goin' down into Egypt, now, to see some,' said the man. 'Thar's a few down there. , "I said I'd go, too, for I wanted to see what they called apples there. I found out. I hadn't sot far into Egypt before I heaved a sigh for old Stooben. Apples? I tell you right now that I'd never seen apples before. It was in October, and they were gathering the crop. You could go for miles and see nothing but apple orchards and apples. And when they told me that they didn't look on a man who owned a ten-acre orchard as any account in the business, I didn't say a word about that four-acre orchard of mine back on the hills of old Stooben. " 'Well, say,' I said, 'how long has this ben going on?' "Tom Lowe planted the first orchard about thirty years ago and when it came in with its first crop, that measured up three thousand bushels, and Tom cleared pretty nearly $2,500 on it, everybody pitched In for apples, and now these four couniles is pretty much all apple orchard.' "Why, a ten-acre orchard ain't anything, out in Egypt, and some of "em cover six hundred acres! That apple belt beats all creation and we folks in York State never knew a thing about it. Don't seem so strange as far as the rest of the State is concerned but it's amazing that old Stooben wa'nt onto it. And there's where I got acquainted with the Ben Davis apple. It is big, and red, and solid, and prettv as a picture. But there's no more taste to it than a door knob, no more flavor than a chunk of clay, and no more smell than a piece of ice. And yet they raise more Ben Davises than any other kind and they've got as high as $9 a barrel for 'em. "Sounds funny to a man who loves the truth, doesn't it? Does, for a fact! But it' straight. I'll tell you why. The Ben Davis ain't an eater. It's a cooker, And . Its crop never fails. And the . Ben Davis never rots. Bruise any conventional apple, and the rot takes hold of all the rest of the apple. The Ben Davis doesn't put up with any such nonaense. Bruise it if you want to, but that bruise will simply dry up, and that's the end of it. The rest ot the apple will stay just as sor.nd as e-vei. And the Ben Davis never freezes. Or if

It should freeze It don't mind It. Freezing doesn't affect it in the least. These are all strong points of this freak apple, but there are others. It is just as solid after it is cooksd as It was before. It never fa$l9 to pieces under cooklngr, whether whole, halved or quartered. Then, having no trace of flavor of Its own, it readily takes any other flavor and become3 a novelty to the housewife and the fruit canner. Imagine having a big, whole, cooked apple placed before you, and when you taste it finding that its flavor is that of the most luscious peach, or juicy pear, or apricot, or orange, or anything else the hostess has seen fit to make it! That's where the queer Ben Davis apple comes out strong and metaphorically knocks the socks off all other apples on the Egypt apple belt. Chicago and the South and West are dead stuck on this apple and its genua and buy it at any price. It will keep sound from one picking season to the next. "That is, if it grew in either Clay, Wayne, Richland or Marlon county. This is another thing about the apple that ought to get it a star place in the dime museum. If it is grown off that belt of counties it objects to keeping any longer than the middle of January, and frequently decays before the holidays. And it will freeze just the same as any other apple.' Don't know why it is. Don't ask me. But that's the Ben Davis apple, and I'll bet a hen you never heard of it before! "Then they raise an apple out there as big as a small pumpkin and of a color of a bad case of jaundice. Its name Is Talpahocking, but they call it talpa for short. If a talpa doesn't weigh a pound It isn't much to speak of. Just why they raise this apple I couldn't find out, for they told me it wouldn't sell nor wouldn't keep. The only reason for its growing seemed to be that there were some people in Kgypt who declared that the talpa was the best eating apple on earth, and that is true if toughness and bitterness count, and it wouldn't do to disappoint these people. So they keep on raising the ponderous talpa. "The Bellflower and the Jonathan are two apples they raise out there, and they beat all the eating apples I ever saw, even in old Stooben. Those Egypt chaps are pulling In a couple million dollars a year from their apples, and they say they haven't begun yet. But old Stooben caps on one thin?. Hills! Rockrlbbed and ancient hilis." PliAYIXG THICKS OS FATIKVTS. Sick Persons Sometimes Tell AV hopper to Their Phylclun. Washington Star. "One meets with many odd freaks of human nature in . my profession." said a physician. "Perhaps the most common is the weakness of lying to'the doctor. When a person goes to a medical man to be treated the sensible thing is obviously to help him to judge of the case by giving all details as to the pains and other symptoms with as much accuracy as possible. That anybody should try to deceive the physician to whom he or she is applying for advice Jeems the height of absurdity. Yet I do assure you that it is done so constantly that we have always to be on our guard. Women are much more given to that sort of folly than men are. I have a lady on my list of patients who is truthful enough. I doubt not, in all other affairs; but she does not hesitate to mislead me as far as she can by false statements respecting her own maladies, though she Is extremely anxious to get well. I confess that it is a psychological puzzle. "Beside these people who deliberately and willfully tell lies to the doctor there are others who are misled to an astonishing extent by their own imagination. 1 will cite a case in point. Only yesterday a lady came to see me professionally for the first time. She had told me that her vision was very bad. Her eyes looked all right, and I tried her sight by means of a card with printed letters of various sizes. Prom across the room she was unable to read the biggest of the letters. I put a pair of glasses in front of her eyes, and she at once exclaimed: 'Oh. doctor! That is wonderful; I can Bee ever so much better now.' "In fact she was able to read all of the letters, down to the very smallest, exhibiting a power ot vision quite up to the normal. " This is certainly very surprising, madame,' I said. The spectacles which have helped your sight so much are nothing mora or less than common window glass.' "Naturally she was very much "ston'""' and would not believe me at first. But I convinced her at last that her trouble was entirely imaginary, and she went away iu a decidedly pieased state of mind.

A SPRING SUIT

.... 11- r ,. ,,.. , , ,., tlons. This morning a lady who is a regular patient of mine called upon me. She was, as usual, in a state of intense nervous excitement. Another new symptom had appeared in her case. She was convinced that something was the matter with her brain, because her head was tender on one side. By chance I happened to notice that her hair was arranged in a way different from her customary fashion, aud doubtless that was the reason for the soreness. Most women have noticed that to part the hair in a fresh place Is ant to make the scalp sore for a time. It is simply because the hairs are turned in a new direction. "I said nothing about that to my patient, , hair in the old fashion. 1 gave her a prescription for something harmless. Nothing more was needed, because the woman is in first rate health, and there is nothing at all the matter wiui her physically. . But it woulu ntrver do tor lue 10 ieu ner that her maladies are purely imaginary. If I did no she would not believe me, and ehe would seek another physician. : "In cases like this the conscientious medical practioner finds nothing better to do than to humor the patient." : MBS.
