Highest of all in Leavening Power.—Latest U. S. Gov’t Re Baking Powder ABSOLUTELY BROUGHT BACK TO LIFE. Sezuatlouz Experienced by Two Pri*oo*r* Set at Liberty Alter Twenty Year». At 5 o’clock on Sunday morning Warden Chase of Lansing, Kan., un locked the cells of Arthur Winner aud Charles McNutt He took Winner and McNutt to the prison barber shop and J after they were shaved gave them two , government suits, which did not fit at all. Winner, who worked in the prison shoe shop, had brought two pairs of pat ent leather shoes. The men put these on. With the highly japanned and styl ishly pointed footgear aud with the ridiculously cheap and awkward clothes they, in company with ex-Senator O. H. Bentley of Wichita, stepped outside the great stone walls. For 20 years they had seen neither tree, shrub, bird, flower, grass nor do mestic animal. Two of Warden Chase’s daughters met them just outside the door aud presented them with twojbeau- tiful flowers. Several trustees approach ed them, beaming, and presented them with bouquets as they went down the path. Tears were in both men’s eyes. “See!” cried Winner, the more de monstrative of the two. “There is a town. There was no town here when 1 went in. ” “That is Lansing,” said Mr. Bentley. “Let’s not go there,’ said Winner. “I want to go to those woods. ” McNutt agreed, and they went over to a thicket by the roadside. The two came across a cow. “Is that a cow?” asked Winner hesi tatingly. “Don’t go on. Let me look at it” And he circled around the animal. Then he approached her timorously and laid his hand on her back. “This, ” he said, “is the only oow I have seen in 20 years.” “Arthur,” said McNutt very slowly and deliberately, “do you notioe how queer it is to talk loudly? How queer the words come?” “I wonder if I could sing. I guess not, ’ ’ said Winner. And he did not try. Both men curiously felt the bark of every tree they came upon. Finally, with their arms filled high with green twigs and flowers, they went to the hotel in Lansing Later in the day the whole party went to Kansas City. The long imprisonment had dulled the men’s minds They asked about everything they saw. McNutt wanted to know what grapevines were. When they reached Kansas City, they both began to place things that they had . read about in the newspapers. McNutt could uot distinguish between a cable car and electric car. He insisted upon trying both and finally got it into his head which was which. Winner was 19 years old when he went to the penitentiary and McNutt 20 years of age. McNutt has secured a job of deco rating in Leavenworth and will open a shop there. Winner will go back to the peniten tiary as general manager of the Bnrr company’s shoo business there, that company having the convict labor of the Lansing prison. The Winner and McNutt case is prob ably the most famous in the history of Kansas. Early in 1873 Winner and young McNutt came to Wichita and started a paintshop. Soon after McNutt insured his life in favor of Winner for V. 000. One night a few months after the young men settled in Wichita 6ome one discovered that their shop was on fire. The people of the town turned out and extinguished the fire, but McNutt was missing. The partly burned body of a man was found in the ruins of the building Winner declared that it was McNutt, but the people of Wichita did not be lieve him. The body was recognized as that of a tramp known as “Texas. ” The sudden departure of McNutt and the fact that his life insurance was in ' favor of Winner, though McNutt was married and the father of a child, ex cited so much suspicion that Winner was arrested the next day. A few days later McNutt was captured in the woods in Newtown county, Mo. They were tried for murder. The evi dence was so clear that they were con victed and sentenced by Judge W. P. Campbell, now department command« of Kansas. Under the law they went to tha penitentiary for life. — Wichita Eagle. ________ A Horrible Suspicion. Lysander Dickerson of Sterling, Ills., thus writes to the Chicago Journal: “In a recent issue of your paper I find an item describing at some length the moving of the old Liberty bell into its new quarters in Independence hall at Philadelphia, and a recital of the safe guards with which the historic relic is now surrounded. In this item the bell itself is described with more or less mi nuteness. The article recalls to my mind the fact that some 45 years or so ago, in company with S. 8. Dana of Wilkes- barre, Pa., I visited Independence hall and naturally made a close and careful inspection of this historic relic. At this time there was a place a foot or more deep chipped ont at one of the outer edges. When it was exhibited at the fair, there were no evidences of van dalism. This convinces me of the truth of the story, which is generally unbe lieved, to the effect that years ago the old bell was sold to an enterprising Yankee and by him worked up into trinkets. I claim to have one of them. ” BuRLlG WtN ITERS. Customs That Proved Rather Mortifying to Two American Girls. Two young girls were made miserable by an unwritten law which laid me low not long ago, writes a lady correspond ent in Berlin. They were calling upon German women, and as they entered the room they saw tha» the least oomfort- able seat was the sofa, where they natu rally seated themselves. One after an other of the older women surveyed them pure until they became intensely unoomfart- able, not knowing what dire accident could possibly have befallen them. At last the hostess rose majestically, say ing: “Young ladies, will you be so kind as to get up and give your seats to these older ladies?” The poor things were crushed. My own encounter with the sofa regulation was funnier than it was crushing. I went to a musicale given by a countess. Two daughters of titled houses had been cordial in their overtures, and I was having a beautiful time watching little differences of manner and wondering 11 all young women were expected to courtesy and kiss the hands of married women, as my vis-a-vis was doing. As the evening wore on I concluded what ■well bred people were, after all, th« same everywhere. When supper was an nounced, thorp was a slight confusion in the placing of the guests, and I found myself iu a smaller room with a few others, among them the most important woman of the assembly. The table had been drawn to a sofa, and there is where I made my mistake. My new friend, the countess’ daughter, motioned me to the sofa, which seemed the best solu tion of the entanglement in to which out hostess had led us in a moment of flurry, for a German does not approach the eas« and surety oi an American hostess. At the same time the woman of importance took a seat on the sofa also. As she ap parently spoke neither English not French, and as I bad not been here long enough to have acquired fluency in Ger man, her attempt at a conversation was soon given up. When our hostess came to see if we were all happy, our lady of importance asked who I was, aud on receiving a ■whispered reply sat up very straight aud threw herself back on the sofa, exclaim ing, “Ah mais e’est tropf’' I was seized with a horrible fear that my hostess had told her that I was an American reporter, and I was intensely uncomfort able in spite of my companion’s friend liness. After that the great lady was very stiff, and I fear I was even stiffer. Looking again to see if she had fainted, I saw her calmly eating with her knife and no longer felt uncomfortable. If she scorned me for any reason, I oertainly should be ashamed of her at my own ta ble. I learned several days later from an American woman versed in German proprieties that my unpardonable offens* had been in presuming to sit on the sofa beside my lady without a European titls of high rank to back me up. WILL HE GET HER? The Khedive of Egypt Want, to Marry O b * of the Sultan’s Daughters. The young khedive of Egypt is hav ing a very uncomfortable time in Con stantinople and is doubtless sorry that he ever went there. The sultan appears to teke malicious delight in making the young man feel his inferiority and has carried this so far as to refuse to allow his daughter to be given in marriage to the common Egyptian pasha who owes his position to the support of Infidel Englishmen. The khedive’a mother, however continues assiduously to in trigue in the harems on her son’s be half, and as she is admittedly a very clever wo nan it is believed that her persistency will ultimately be rewarded by success. The sultan at present has only two recognized daughters of marriageable age. One iB 13 years old, and the other is 10. Ij was suggested early in the negotiations that the sultan’s daughter is forbidden by unwritten law to marry outside the limits of the Ottoman em pire, but his majesty himself promptly disposed of that argument by declaring that Egypt is an integral part of his empire, and it is certainly recognized as such by all the European powers. If the sultan should relent, the mar riage will take place in Constantinople after the khedive, by his suzerain’s gra cious permission, has taken a short holi day trip through Europe. Unlike the khedive, young King Alex ander was treated by the sultan with the greatest distinction and has returned to Servia more persuaded than ever that he is the greatest man in Europe. —Constantinople Letter. UNEASY ABOUT HIAZINTOFF. He Attempted to Kill a Privy Councilor aud Has Escaped From Custody. Private advices from St. Petersburg say that great uneasiness prevails in court circles there over the escape of the young man Hiazintoff, who a couple of months ago attempted to kill Privy Counselor Pobyedonoszeff. When in prison, Hiazintoff’« demeanor was so strange that he was sent to an asyltuu for the insane and there kept under ob servation night and day in special care. On June 27 he pleaded that the terribly hot weather was killing him, and iu consequence he was for the first time allowed to take exercise in the asylum grounds with the other inmates. On the same afternoon he managed to es cape, evidently with the connivance of somebody within the asylum, and noth ing has since been heard of him. The uneasiness referred to is due to the belief that Hiazintoff trill most cer tainly be heard from sooner or later in connection with some desperate deed. He is a militant nihilist, imbued with a fanatical belief iD the necessity for shedding the blood of tyrants who stand in the way of the regeneration of his country, and he is utterly recklew of hi« own life. The police are confident that he will not attempt to leave Russia and are equally certain that he will not long remain idle.—London Cor. New York Sun.
