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

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. ”

Two young girls were made miserable

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

the evening wore on I concluded what

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

hostess had led us in a moment of flurry,
for a German does not approach the eas«

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

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

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

an American woman versed in German

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.

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
