IS SEEKING RELEASE

IDldest Convict Asks to Given a Pardon. Be (National News Association) HARTFORD, Conn.. June 10. Among the half-hundred petitions laid before the Connecticut board of pardons for consideration and action today was an application for the pardon of John Warren, who is serving a life sentence in the state penitentiary at Wetbersfield. Warren has the unenviable distinction of being the oldest convict in the United States in point of service. He had just attained his majority when he was received at the penitentiary to begin a life sentence for the murder of his young "wife. Today he is an old man of sev enty-four,,, with a record of fifty-three j years spent behind prison walls. The State board of pardons is familiar "with every detail of Warren's case. Seven times has the board considered a petition for the old man's release and seven times has the petition been turned down. Whether the eighth peti tion will meet with a similar fate will noon be known. Warren has been a model convict and it is safe to say that there is not an official or inmate of the state prison who would not be glad to learn that the old man would be released to spend his last years h freedom. TAYLOR FLAYED JONES. And Then, to Get Square, the Revivalist Told a Story. Ilere Is a well authenticated story of Sam P. Jones, revivalist and lecturer: J Jones and ex-Governor Bob Taylor, j ow a United States senator from j Tennessee, seldom met professionally j in public. They were two such amaz- j Ingly good drawing cards that few j Chautauqua managements ever felt j able to afford both of them in one day. i However, one management made the i plunge, and the two witty southerners j found themselves on the same platform. ! Taylor introduced Jones, ne flayed Jones unmercifully, leaving little cuticle on him. The crowd laughed heartily and waited for Jones to take his revenge. Jones arose. He was always cool a3 ice. This time was no exception. The audience held its collective breath. The scathing was about to begin. Jones, however, said nothing to indicate that he had even heard what Taylor had said. The crowd felt that at last Jones was overmatched. He de- , llvered his lecture and made the usual hit Yet there was much surprise that ! lie had not replied to Taylor. I Just as Jones finished his set talk he ' turned and looked at Taylor. Then he drawled oat. with a jerk of his thumb toward Taylor: "Whenever I see that man anywheh I'm reminded of a little dawg I used I tr know down in Gawgy. That davrgj lived close to the railroad track, and every evening when the fast express train went shooting through that little j dawg ran out and tried to eat that i train. Every night he would seem to j ay: 'Last night 1 didn't get it. but I've I figured out since why it was. I'll get j It this time, I'm just so hungry for an i express train!' Everybody around there knew that dawg would be killed some time by that train. Bound to. Couldn't help it. I "One hot summeh evening that train ! came along fasteh than eveh. It was ! just one big, noisy cloud of dust That ! little dawg ran out as usual and ran j along by the tracks. He was sucked in by the draft from the train and disappeared inder the trucks. Everybody ' said: 'Theh he went fool dawg! We i always know he'd get it. Now he's ! killed, all right.' ! "But when that train had gone theh came that Uttle dawg trotting back up the track. The train hadn't killed him at all only made a bobtailer of him." Presently the audience began to see the joke in sectious, and before long it was in a scream of laughter. Strickland W. Gillilan in Chicago News. Ho Got Even. Justus Mlleg Forman once in writing a story for Harper's Magazine used the name of an artist friend for the character of a chap who fell in love with a peasant girl in the Milanese. "It made all his friends roar with glee," said Mr. Forman. "But he got even with me by making a large twenty-four sheet poster for a musical comedy. There was a lady, the star, stepping out of a stage door and a long line of Johnnies waiting for her with silly smirks and bunches of violets. And every Johnnie was a portrait of me." TOOK THREE BOTTLES RHEUMATISM GONE It Cost Mr. Miller Just $1.50 To Drive Out The Uric Acid, Get Rid Of Rheumatism And Have His Kidneys Work Perfectly. "i nave oeen a sufferer from rheumatism for six years. Have tried different doctors, with no relief. I say your advertisement and thought I would try RHEUMA. I was beneatted by the first bottle. I have now taken three bottles nd am entirely free from the disease. I was so bad I could not sleep nights; now I sleep well, and my kidneys work perfectly." P. W. Miller.

Decide Yourself

The Opportunity is Here, Backed by Richmond Testimony. . Don't take our word for it. Don't depend on a stranger's statement. Read Richmond endorsement. Read the statements of Richmond citizens. And decide for yourself. Here is one case of it: Mrs. James Henry Brokamp, 62 Sherman St., Richmond, Ind., says: "Doan's Kidney Pills have been used in my family off and on for at least six years, being obtained at Luken & Co s Drug Store and they have brought such good results that we always keep a supply on hand. Whenever an attack of backache or any other symptom of kidney complaint appears, Doan's Kidney Pills are used and they never fail to bring relief. I have no hesitation in recommending this remedy."

Lewis-Oliver Stock company, indefinite. "The King of Liars." "The King of Liars" will be presented by the Lewis & Oliver Players at the Murray Theater tonight. In the first act, a young man is arrested for trying to demolish a hotel office. He had been out for several days, and had imbibed too freely. His sentence is 60 days. His friend arranges for him to spend the time at an insane asylum and here is where the real fun begins. All the characters are crazy or pretend to be when speaking to others. The play is extremely funny, and the incidents that follow are inimitable, and the fun is incessant. The play was written for laughing purposes only. "The King of Liars" will be presented the first three days of this week, and "On Stroke of Twelve," the last half of the week. There will be fourteen people in the cast next week. Matinees Monday, Wednesday and Saturday. Nature and a Woman's Work has produced the most successful remedy for woman's ills the world has ever known. Nearly forty years ago, Lydia E. Pinkham of Lynn, Mass., discovered a combination of roots and herbs which when properly compounded has proved to be a most reliable remedy for all forms of female ills. To restore a normal healthy condition to the female system, Lydia E. Plnkham's Vegetable Compound is the standard remedy of the world. BULLETS IN BATTLE. Thty Play Queer Pranks at Times on Their Mission of Death. At the battle of Peach Orchard, when McClellan was making his change of base, a Michigan infantryman fell to the ground as if shot dead and was left lying in a heap as the regiment changed position. The bullet that had hit him first struck the barrel of his guu, then glanced and struck off a button of his coat, tore the watch out of his vest pocket and struck the man just over the heart, where it was stopped by a song book in his shirt pocket. He was unconscious for threequarters of an hour, and it was a full month before the black and blue spot disapjeared. At Pittsburg Landing a member of the Twelfth Michigan infantry stooped to give a wounded man a drink from his canteen. While in this act a bullet aimed at his breast struck the canteen and buried itself in the leg of a horse. The canteen was split open and dropped to the ground in halves. At the second battle of Bull Run a New York infantryman was passing tobacco to a comrade when a bullet struck the plug, glanced off and buried itself in a knapsack. The tobacco was rolled up like a ball of shavings and carried a hundred feet away. Directly in the line of the bullet was the head of a lieutenant, and had not the bullet been deflected he would certainly have been wounded or killed thereby. As it was. he had both eyes filled with tobacco dust and had to be led to the rear. At Brandy Station one of Custer's troopers had his left stirrup strap cut away by a grapeshot, which passed between his leg and the horse, blistering the skin as if a red hot iron had been used. He dismounted to ascertain the extent of his injuries, and as he bent over a bullet knocked his hat off and killed his horse. In the same fight a trooper had suffered several days with a toothache. In a hand to hand conflict he received a pistol ball in the right cheek. It knocked out his aching tooth and passed out through the left corner of his mouth, taking along a part of an upper tooth. The joy of getting rid of the toothache was so great that the trooper could not be made to go to the rear to have his wound dressed. Exchange.

The last scene in the fashionable life t the Count D'Orsay as told In Mr. Telgnmouth Shore's biography of him: Just before the dinner hour a pastry cook's boy presented himself at Gore House with a dish, sent in. so he said, by the confectioner. Having left this in the kiteh en, he deliberately walked upstairs to the count's dressing room. "Well, who's that?" asked D'Orsay. . It was a sheriff's officer. "Really!" exclaimed D'Orsay and d e m a n ded that he should be permitted to comthe which was ex- piete the tying of eccted. his tie. salon or prison, his tie must be perfect. "But, count" "Bah, bah! All in good time." The officer was quite interested In the tyin of that tie. Few men had been so honored as to be allowed to see how D'Orsay tied his tie. and. lo, by the time the tie was tied the sua hud sunk to rest and D'Orsay was free till sunrise! "John." said D'Orsay. calmly walking off to the drawing room, "kick this chap out of the door." The which was executed, and the writ was not. Example.

There was no getting away from the fact Flossie's face was ugly. Even her best friends told her so and seldom visited her without offer ing her advice or suggesting some kind of remedy. But neither paint nor povtder nor paste nor patent preparation was of the slightest use. Flossie's face continued to be ugly, and her friends continued t o tell her so. At last she consulted a specialist. "I am willing." she said, "to pay CONSULTED A SPECIALIST. you anything If yeu wlil only make me beautiful. I should like you to start on my nose. Can you improve it?" The specialist looked at it thoughtfully. Flossie's nose was her weakest point. Leaning back in his chair and half closing his eyes, in his best professional manner, he said: "Well, madam. I can't guarantee to make it really beautiful, but 1 couldn't help improving it if 1 hit it with a mallet." Sounded Like s Joke. Bliss Christie Macdonald has been taking boxing lessons, so the other nigbt she was fullj prepared when, upon leaving the theater, she was insulted by one of the loiterers.

He traveled with the colonel back and forth between Washington and New York. New York and Chicago and Chicago and SL Louis and rode a good deal on the observation end of the car. All the roads the car went over were two track or four track roads. Not long ago the colonel had his car switched off on a single track road in Ohio daring the night. When Colonel Carroll awoke in the morning and went out to the observation end of the car he found Gilbert contemplating the single track with much Interest.

end the fn.it crop in many sections is a'ro erelii'glv promising. At present it looks as if the agricultural classes were going to have another year of exceptional prosperity. If this prove true it means good business next fall and winter throughout the interior and a consequent increase of industrial activity; especially after the hand-to mouth policy which has been pursued for son-e months. Conrinued activity in the steel trade is also having a widespread effect. Railroads have been heavy buyers of many steel products, and it is now an old story that this industry has been running at nearly full capacity for the past two or three months. Prices are steadily hardening and though there is a temporary lull in new orders, it is confidently expected that further large amounts of new business will be soon forthcoming. The requirements for steel are urgent and a large proportion of the new capital being raised by present and prospective new security issues is sure to find its way into the steel industry; and this means much to general business in the iron regions. The steel outlook is certainly brighter than has been the cast for several years. The third Important element in the situation is the better labor outlook In some cases wages have been advanced where such advances appeared justified. In other Instances the demands of labor have been withdrawn or modifie3 where It has been found that such reqtiests were ill-advised and injurious. Tn other cases trouble has been adverted by compromise. Here and there a few occasional strikes may be expected, but there has been a decided moderation in the feverish recovery. As a result both labor and capital will certainly find more ready employment. On the Stock Exchanee these conditions have been reflected by a more buoyant undertone. The market has not been active, outside of a few spec ialties, but there Is an unmistakable disposition towards wider operations. J A satisfactory feature is the better i tone of the bond market. Investors are still discriminating in favor of the! higher Interest bearing issues, but there has also been a somewhat better I Inquiry for low rate issues by savings ; banks, trustees, etc.. who are taking ! sd vantage of the attractive offerings which are being made.

SASH WINDOW. Probably Dutch Invention of the Ssvsnteenth Century. The history of sash windows is somewhat obscure, but the probability la that they were a Dntcb invention and that they were Introduced Into England soon after the revolution of 16SS. The derivation of the word "sash" in this sene Is the Dutch -sas. a sluiceold English "sasse." In Queen Anne's reign they were yet so comparatively uncommon as to be mentioned as a special feature of bouses that were advertised as "to let." In the Tatler. for instance. So. ITS.
