I TO FREE AN ANARCHIST. HOW A WOMAN'S CURIOSITY UPSET AN INGENIOUS PLOT, Thrilling Account of the Attempt to Ite- Iciox- llerkiuunn. Who I. Confined In the Allegheny Penitentiary for Shooting 11. C. Frivk Murine: the llomesteud Strike. The Pittsburg correspondent of the Chicago Record, writes as follows: Woman's curiosity—responsible for many things—led to the discovery of the tunnel by which Alexander Berk man. the anarchist who shot Henry Frick during the dark days of the Homestead strike, expected to crawl to freedom. Had Miss Jennie MeCarty not been so curious to know something about new neighbors it is possible that Berkman would now be ut liberty. The western Pennyslvania peniten tiary stands on the north back of the Ohio river in lower Allegheny. On three sides of it are houses, some of them being within 30 feet of the prison wall. Sterling and Refuge streets meet at right angles at the southeastern cor ner of the prison. Miss MeCarty lives on the corner of Sterling street, and almost directly opposite is a two-story brick house at No. 28. From a sentry's box on the top of the 35 feet high pris on walls officers of the penitentiary could look into the windows at No. 28. The house is owned by J. W. Langtitt, an engineer in the penitentiary. In the middle of May a man giving Ms name as Thomas Brown and his address as Chicago agreed to purchase the house from Langlitt by paying $250 cash and agreeing to pay the re mainder in installments of $250 every two months. Of course every woman in the neighborhood heard of the sale and ail were curious to see the new neighbors. The latter were four or five men and one woman. All the fur niture they had was a few chairs, a table or two, a lounge, some cots, a couple of large mirrors and some rolls of matting. The day following their arrival a piano was delivered at the house by a local music firm. A wngonload of lumber and several hundred feet of galvanized iron pipe about 2c, inches in diameter was also unloaded and the stuff carried into the yard behind the house. There are women in every neighborhood who see everything taken into a house by new residents. It was thought a shed was to be erected and new spouting put on the house. Miss MeCarty, living oppo site with her sister, had been "keep ing a line" on the house for ten days, and remarked thut their new neigh bors were peculiar people. They seemed to keep the front door locked all the time, and ttie woman sat at her piano by the window, which was always open. She was the first up in the morning in the neighbor hood and the last to go to bed at night, and played the piano continuously. If the postman had a letter, the gro cer's boy some vegetables or the milk man was delivering bottles of mflk, it was the same. Everything was handed to the woman through the window. The front steps and pavement were never swept, and tlie woman appenred to do nothing but play the piano, and her voice, a ri*li soprano, could be heard all over the neighborhood. "Well, I don't know, but tilings look mighty funny," said Jennie MeCarty one night in June while she and some neighbors were enjoying the music. "That piano wouldn't be going all the time if it wasn't for a purpose. I hon estly believe those people are building u tunnel under the street to blow up the penitentiary." Langtitt, prison engineer, who owned the house, was sent for, and the day following the door was opened. Warden Wright and the other prison . officers never allow themselves to be surprised at anything prisoners may do. but what they saw in this house dazed them. In the front of the cel lar was a closet about six feet square. In tiie bottom of the closet was an ex cavation six feet long and two and a half feet wide. The hole led under the foundation of the wall and out un der Sterling into Refuge street. The tunnel was explored s far as the guards could go. but foul air in the hole drove them out. After making sure that there were no men in the tunnel the party ex plored the house. In a pantry on the first floor was found an ordinary blow fan. by which air was forced through galvanized pipe into the tunnel. At tached to the roll of the fan was a leather belt, and this was also around a large buggy wheel, between the spokes of which was a handle used to turn it. Each revolution of the wheel ' caused the fan to revolve and blow air Into the pipe. The latter ran along the roof of the tunnel, which at no point was less than two feet deep and wide. In the front room of the house stood the piano. On the wall alongside of Y the instrument was an electric push button. The wires from this also led Into the tunnel. The latter had been properly braced, or shored, the wires being neatly tacked to the woodwork holding up the roof, and the iron pipe nlso held firmly by hooks. An electric bell was found in the tunnel, and the reason for the existence of the push button was plain. The woman, seat ed! at the piano, without stopping, could press the button and alarm the men working in the tunnel should dan ger arise. Over the piano was a large mirror and another was at the woman's back. Without turning her head she could see people coming along .the atreet from either direction, and at the same time watch the sentry on the wall. But little furniture was found In the house. Cheap matting was on the floor and a gTeat quantity of cooked meat.3 in the kitchen. The dining room table was just as it had been left after a meal. There were si* soup bowl*, which had been used, and si* knives and forks. This led to the belief that six persons were in the plot, and that they had gone away hastily. Down in the cellar at the entrance to the tunnel was found a suit of clothes, in one of the pockets of which was a cipher letter. It was supposed to be a letter of instructions to the es caping convict telling him where to go. Several experts agree that in the com bination of Hebraic, Itusslan, German and shorthand characters there is something ahout the East 72d street elevated station and First avenue. No body has yet been found who can read the cipher. When it was found impossible to ex plore the tunnel from the Sterling street end because of the foul air which the blow fan could not drive out, excavations were made 011 the outside. Men who have crawled in went over 150 feet parallel with the Refuge street wall, and the tunnel was easily found. After crossing Ster ling street It runs close to the peniten talry wall. The latter is built 011 piles, which were cut with a saw and hutch et by the tunnelers. The prison end of the tunnel was five feet from the wnll and within 40 feet of tile prison hospital. It terminated under a large flagstone, which was over a thin crust of eurth and gravel, about three inches thick. Between it and the prison proper was the large prison stone pile 011 which convicts work. The flagstone was so wedged in the earth that it could be moved up like a trapdoor sufficient to permit the passage of a man. Nothing could be easier than for a convict to drop behind the pile of stones if he knew the exact location of the end of the tunnel, jump into the hole and pull the stone after hiui. If he were missed and the hole discovered the stone would block the passage of any pursuers. By the time It was got out and other obstacles in the tunnel overcome Berkman could be out in the street dressed in the clothes left for him. Police officials, miners and others say 110 better piece of underground engineering exists than this winding, tortuous tunnel. From beginning to end it was 2<l(> feet long. It was fin ished about July 4, the woman having played the piano all that day, and the diggers left it "upto Berkman." Itwas not tiie latter's fault that he did not get away. According to a story told by one of the keepers. Berkman was suspected of being up to some kind of mischief and was locked in his cell just about the time his escape was planned. As the time drew near for him to make the attempt he became nervous. This was noted by one of the keepers, and without giving any reason for it they confined him. Some months ago Berkman made a birdcage, and one of his friends on the outside sent him n canary. The latter he evidently intended to use to get away. He had been noticed kicking at the earth near the hospital. He seemed to be "feeling" the ground with Ills feet. When one of the keepers asked hint about it he said he was merely uncovering new gravel for his canary. In that end of the prison yard there is plenty of gravel, but Berkman gathered enough for a doz en birds. WASHINGTON NOMENCLATURE.

Jackson, Lincoln and Garfield are the only presidents hon ored with public statues. Washing ton and Lincoln have two each. There is none of any vice president. Daniel Webster Is the only cabinet officer and senutor who has been so honored, for Garfield never took his seat as senator. The army has one general. Scott. The navy lias Farragut and Dupont. The supreme court has one, John Jay. first chief justice. The above list does not include the statues in Statuary hall. The city directory of Washington always includes the president, not one of whom ever was or is a resident of the city, and the same is true of all cabinet officers, heads of departments, senators and representatives and all other officials, few of whom call Washington their home. Most visitors, and many who live In Washington, speak of Jackson square or park, forgetting that this, the most generally known square in the city, is Lafayette. The Rest Way.

Trials of the "Walking- linn*" —Hard and Heavy Work Done by the Lumbermen of Minnesota This Season to (let Their Logs Afloat in the Missis^ip|l River. C. C. Kelly of Fergus Fulls, Minn., nimrod. student of nature and writer of short stories, went down to Minne apolis the other day to meet a few of his old New York friends and escort them into his bailiwick, where they are now spending a pleasant vacation. "Log driving in this year of our Lord has been, and still is. for that matter, about as near that fearful state of affairs called 'the worst ever' us anything earthly could be," said Mr. Kelly. "Every river, lake, brook and rivulet tributary to the father of waters and all the tributaries of his tributaries in the pine-bearing district of Minnesota, were covered with logs destined to feed the great mills of Min neapolis and other manufacturing points 011 the Mississippi. During the last winter and this apring the water was not. "The snow-fall of last winter was scajity and, to make things worse, that scant provision went off so gradually that most of the little water into which it was converted went else where, than into the streams, and did little, if anything, toward raising them to a log-floating height. "Then came the dry springtime and the drier summer, and the water fell every day instead of rising. "Of course, on most streams driving was out of the question, and on all of them it has been a woefully ex pensive operation when it could be done at all; but withal, it lias been again demonstrated that to stop Minnesota loggers stock still, sudden death is the only poten tial instrument. In the face of low water, high wages, head winds, and every impedinu nt, they have gone ahead and scored as great a triumph over adverse circumstances as even they can point to in the past. "Ordinarily, a drive, though always furnishing plenty of hard word for every man in it, has enough of excite ment and enough of easy spells where water is plenty and logs run easily, to keep everybody keyed up to a concert pitch, and at the same time to avoid putting the breaking strain on anyone. "But it's another story this year. From breaking the rollawnys to 'turn ing out* into the Mississippi it has been hard, heavy work, steady 'sacking' and 'hossing' over almost water-bare rap ids. till even the iron lumberjack has come to find out that there are such things as nerves in his composition. About the time he makes that discov ery, the common run of humanity, if engaged in his work, would have been dead about three weeks, 'Sacking' consists of drifting and carrying logs from the muddy shores of the streams where receding water has left them and putting them in the channel—and if Dante had been 'onto' the horrors of thut pastime he would have given It a high place in the tortures of his Inferno. It has to be done in water up to knee deep, combined with a foot or so depth of mud, in which the feet of the workers sink at every step, and a day of it consists of 14 to 1G hours. Just imagine seven days in the week of such work, and three months of it on end, and you get a pretty fair idea of what log-driving has been this sea son. " 'llossing' logs over the rapldsmeans wading'out into water rushing with the velocity of a bullet, getting peavy hold on the big. stranded logs, and get ting them off the rocks and into the current, by pure force of muscle. "It's dogged as does it, my masters; it's dogged as does it; and the lumber jack can out-dogged the doggedest man that ever stood in shoe leather—or went burefoot, either. "Talk about conducting a campaign in the field! Why, Mac Arthur and 'Bobs' have luul picnics compared to the man who lias to bring out a big drive on a long stream. The command er-in-chief of that great work, known in the profession as the 'walking boss,' had the problems liefore him of getting out a tremendous mass of logs with barely enough water to float them to the Mississippi if they had lain in the river in one solid mass, from the land ing nearest the mouth to that nearest its source. But they didn't lay that way by a great deal. The great mass of them were not in the river at all, but landed on lakes and brooks tribu tary to it; and in brief, what our good walking boss had to do was to get them Into one solid jam in the river, keep that jam moving so as to keep pace with the moving water, 'boom' them across the many lakes through which the stream flows, and get them into the Mississippi before 'the water got out ahead of theiu.' To do that he had to get them out of every lake and brook In such season that the out-com ing logs would fit into the space in the 'main jam' reserved for them, and lie neither too late nor too soon to fill the appointed place; to fight as many i head-winds as Yanderdecken encoun tered in trying to round the Cape: to watch every dam on lake and brook, and guard the outflow of water as though it was his own heart's blood; to be here, there, everywhere, from mouth to source of river, as omnipres ent as the enemy in high wind, at all times; to eat when lie could, and to sleep whenever he got the blessed chance; with the sky for cover oftener than not; to work 48, aye and 72 hours, on a stretch when the rare 'fair wind' came, and he could get a good spell of 'lacking' done; in short, to be a prodi gal of his brain, brawn, energy and nerve, and miser of water for nearly three months, and from the morning the drive started, early In May, to get the first chance to take off his clothts on the night the main jam passed the last rapid, a mile from the mooch of the river. And this high-pressure gait he kept up for more than two months and a half, and never let off a pound of steam one minute of the time. But do it he did. and. though claiming to feel 'as if he had been pulled through a sick Frenchman' when it was all over, he did not look a wlilt the worse after getting a bath, clothed, 'and into his right mind,' than before the drive start ed. Likewise lie went off up the river the very next morning to 'see about starting the boys to haying.' as if such exploits where an everyday occurrence, and so much matter of the day's as not to be worth special attention." —Philadelphia Record. GAS-LIGHTED BUOY BELLS. New an J lin porfant Aids to Safe Naviga tion— I.akew Need Tliem. With the thousands of reefs, shoals and bad spots abounding on the chain of lakes, any improvement in day or night warnings is appreciated by lake navigators. It has come to be known by them that there is an improved gas buoy and the matter is much talked of among the masters and they are asking why the lighthouse board does not introduce them on our crowded' lakes and rivers and straits—crowded now by finer, larger freight craft than are to be found on the Athiuti<| or Pacific. It is ascertained that experiments with what is called the Pintsch gas lighted buoy-bell attachment have been carried on l'or more than a year and that the results prove it to be a perfect success. Buoys of this type are now made that will not only burn continuously from 80 to 365 days, ac cording to capacity desired, but will ring a bell every 15 seconds auto matically, thereby overcoming the fault of the ordinary bell buoy, which is dumb when the surface of the water is perfectly smooth. This improve ment to the Pintsch buoy costs but S3OO more than those without it and is of inestimable value to the masters of all descriptions of craft, from the 500-footet* down to the smallest coast lugger; and it goes without saying that tlie great and growing yacht fleet of the lakes and tlie princely private steam yachts are as much Interested as other vessels. When lake vesselmen know of some thing they need and want they are not backward in asking for it, ami the indications are that the lighthouse board will soon hear from the Lake Carriers' association in regard to the adoption of this new improvement on the lakes, whether it hasyct been adopt ed on the seacoast or not. It is said the new style of buoy would be much more serviceable in crowded channels than the electric-lighted buoys, which are extinguished and become useless during gales, a time when they are most needed. The Pintsch gas buoy never goes out during the time for which it is constructed to burn, while tlie ringing of a bell in a fog, in addi tion to a permanent light, would be a boon tlie need of which lias long been felt. —Chicago Inter-Ocean.

He keeps a special cock for crowing, and the bird which can outcrow its fellows lias reached the highest pin acle of perfection. The mode of opera tion is to place the cages containing tlie roosters in long rows, for it. ap pears that one bird sets the other off crowing. A marker, appointed by the organizers of the show, is told off for each bird, bis duty being to note care fully the number of crows for which it is responsible, in the same fashion as the laps are recorded in a bicycle race. The customary duration of the match is one hour, the winner being the iiird that scores the highest num ber of crows in the allotted time. A groat number of these competitions have recently taken place in the Leige district, and in some cases heavy bets have been made on the raiult. To Take Oreuie from Wallpaper. Lay a sheet of thick blotting paper over the stain, and then press a hot ltou over it. As soon as the blotting paper berimes greasy move it; bring a clean part of tlie stain, and then ap ply the iron again. Repeat this until the stain has quite disappeared. Why Clot lien Are Boiled The purpose of boiling clothes Is to expand the fabrics by steam, and thus to loosen the dirt and let it drop out. This purpose may be accomplished within half an hour after tlie water first, begins to bubble, and further cooking turns the clothes yellow. While the ylothes are boiling they should be turned with a clothes stick, but not punched or lifted, so as to tear them. As soon as the clothes are taken out of tin 4 holler they should be plunged into clean, cold water. The second boiler full of clothes should not be put into the boiling dirty water, but have a fresh suds for their own cleansing. Curtalna for Cupboard*. In small rooms it is a mistake to have cupboards in the little recesses ro often found on each side of tlie fireplace. If shelves are really wanted there, have them by all means, but cover them with a pretty curtain. This should be hung from a pole in side the recess, so as to take as little space as possible from the room. The effect of a pretty piece of drapery will be decidedly pleasant to the eye, and on cleaning days the contents of tlie shelves may be protected by having a cotton dusting sheet fustened over tlieni, so that even then, the cupboard doors will not be missed. Of course, on these special occasions the cur tain should be taken down and thor oughly shaken. Furnish the Kitchen. It is a mistake to lavish money on drawing rooms and sacrifice the kitch en. Kitchen utensils are of the first im portance. The cook cannot do her work well without proper tools and proper environment. A kitchen outfit costs little. New oilcloth for the floor, table and sink is cheap and adds immeasurably to the contentment of the maid. An attractive kitchen bespeaks the good housekeeper. It is easier to convince the servants of the desirabil ity of keeping It clean. Neat tin nml "Wooden boxes witli labels are a delightful acquisition to the kitchen elosets and much more pleasant to handle than leak3 T paper bags. Patter witli pinked edges for the shelves will work wonders for the general effect and a growing plant or two gives an air of luxury which sur passes those who have never tried it. How to I-numler Silk Belonging,. In this age of silk shirtwaists, jack ets. silk handkerchiefs and stockings, to say nothing of the many pretty lace belongings, it is a serious ques tion witli women as to how these dainty possessions may be laundered Without the work really costing in a short time more than the original value of the articles. To remedy this trouble, every woman should learn how to do the work herself. It is not laborious, and may certainly be called a fine art. When ready to wash any silk articles, fill a small tub half fuil of warm water, to which add a table spoonful of powdered borux. put the garment in, and wash very gently witli the hands. When clean rinse, and squeeze free of water. Spread carefully over 11 clean cloth, which has been stretched over 11 table, pin se curely, being careful to smooth out every wrinkle. When dry. remove the pins, and pass the article through the hands several times to remove the glazed appearance and give it a fresh, new look. No ironing will be neces sary. Laces may be done up in tile same way. In spreading them over a cloth, great care should lie given the work of smoothing every flower or design out, and pinning in shape. Edges should be picked out. mid ar ranged in place. A little time must be devoted to doing this work, but the results will lie entirely satisfactory. i>D R£C/F£:S Raw Beef Sandwiches—fine pound of ground beef, two old onions, pepper and salt.

"Bob*" and His Family. Here is a new story, fresh from the other side, which shows to a remark able degree the picture of England's greatest military hero in the light of husband and father. It seems that the most perfect sympathy has existed be tween Lord and Lady Roberts since they were married, 41 years ago, and Lady Roberts, herself the daughter of a soldier, has always been able to as sociate herself with the chief interest in life of her husband. Her work in India in the cause of the soldiers' wives will long be remembered by the Eng lish. and among her own sex she is as much beloved as Lord Roberts is by his men. The death of their son at Colenso came all the more severely to Lord and Lady Roberts, as they were a singu larly affectionate and united family. The greatest affection existed be tween the distinguished father and his promising son. Lord Roberts was most anxious that bis son should achieve distinction in the same profession, and his valuable experience ami sympathy were always at the son's service. "Bobs" was very proud of bis son's prowess in the saddle. At a race meet ing some time ago In Ireland Lieuten ant Roberts rode clean away from the field and won by a dozen lengths. "My son must not be encouraged to ride; a soldier has to keep all bis abilities for the service," said Lord Roberts; and then, with a burst of paternal pride, "but in all my life 1 never saw anyone ride a better race."
