It Threo prisoners escaped from the Elk county jail at Ridgway last Tuesday eve ning. Tho men wore given thoir supper at 0 o'clock and at 6:30 their cells were emty. It was found that the jailbirds had sawed two bars from an outside win dow and lowered themselves to the ground by means of strips of bed cloth ing tied together. Two of tho men were to be tried for burglary and the other for assault. A Madrid paper informs its readors that "tho commander in oheif of the American army is one Ted Roosevelt, formorly a New York policeman," who was "horn noar Haarlem," "emigrated to America when young," was educated at "Harvard academy, a commercial school" (thore boing "uo universities or collegos in America"), and that his "bodyguard" is "fittingly termed rough rioters." Hopkins soils the clothing and shoes Tract distributors come to grief some times. This was the case of a woman who handed a tract without looking at the titlo, to a good natured looking man, who was leaning against a fence in the low district of Philadelphia. He took it, glanced at the title, smiled and handed it back with the remark : "I am mar ried." The horrified woman took the tract from his haud and read, "Abide with me." She took the first car homo. Hopkins is bound to keep trade going i. At tho prices they are putting on shoes and clothing, they are a good buy, even if von dont need them. It A woman who claims to kuow says tho most satislactory way to keep a shirt waist down in the tmck is to stitch a lit tle baud at the waist line iu the hivk on the outside of the garmont, with two but ton holes on the dress shirt. Of course, it is a great deal of trouble to put theso but tons on overy skirt, and tho buttonholes on every waist, but it is wortli It in the end, for thou it is impossible for the shirt waist to part company with the skirt band.

Hobsou in the sinking f the Merrimac, may go upon tho floor of the national hall of rep resentatives at will. Admiral Dewey aud Lieut, llobson were granted the same privilego, which was granted in recogni tion of thoir heroic conduct. Tho rag carpot, after many years, has returned. It is once agaiu fairly popular and the ras that for a quarter of a ceu tury huve been going to the rag man are now being treasured up, since if they are all wool, they are almost worth thoir weight iu gold. Why the rag carpet over did go out of style it is hard to deter mine, and its roappearaneo in society is not difficult to understand. Properly put together and made of a good assortment of rags, it is exceedingly pretty, and withal easy to manulacture, all the knack needed being the skill necessary to cut the rags into strips, sew these togolher in lengths and wind them into a ball. For a small sum tho rag carpet weaver does the rest. Bathroom anil study rugs are tho chief uses of the rag carpet or today. It is not so much rag carpots, iu fai t, as it is rag eariet rugs. The rag carpot rug is not largo, as a rule. Six feet by three would be quito as extraordinary size. The idea is to havo quite a number of them, and these much smaller. N. Y. Herald. MARRIED.
