Several thousand people gathered in a mob the night following and demanded ther'To the Editor of the New Rork prisoner. They went to batter - ing down the doors till commit - tees were allowed to search the city prison and the jail." They were informed that the prisoner was taken out of the city " but disbelieving it they , went from place to place making the third attack on the prison. A battle began and hundreds of shots were fired. A boy ten years old and one four yeafs old in his baby carriage were killed and man v Deorle were wounded. The mob grew in fury. They broke open a hardware store and appropriated guns pistols and ammunition. They set fire to Columbian Hall next to the city building. The front Of the lat - ter was practically wrecked. The excitement was intense. - i The prison keeper attempted to come out of the prison and was knocked down and severely injured. . Cotton Found to Bring a Good Price. The cotton mill men are gloomy these days, compared to what tuey were six monxns ago. i ne orice of cotton is too near the price of yarns. A cotton manu facturer told an Observer man yesterday that he would shuti down his mill as soon as his present supply of cotton gave out, and that will be five weeke from now. This same man does I noj L00is lor cotton, to oe down, except for a few weeks next minth, when the first dbtton be gins to come in. However, he does expect yarns to go up.

Original Observations. Most men of mark are those who caA,'t write. The "duck of a girl" ought to be & good swimmer. Isnt tne shirt-waist man a fit companion for the tomboy glrl? The sweetest meets of life are two lovers folded m each other's arms. Dealers in antiquities will pay big jprice for tfyg last sfcrtlw viliich lfi'oke tne camel's back. .

Observer. ; i The IMgh Ball Has Made Whiskey Fop I r m nln Jfnrrttp 4 ha Pali fiitr. "There is no 'question in my mind," said a man of observation and experieuce, "that the drink ing of intoxicating liquors is on the increase among women, that is 'to say, women of the better class, of the best class, I might almost say. Various causes may be cited, but I think there is no' cause more answerable than the 4i3gh ball,1 plain whiskey; Scotch or American, relieved only by a bit of ice and a dilu tion of carbonic-charged water. This makes a nice looking drink in long glss, and it is un doubtedlv pleasant to most palates after a very little culti vation. It used to be that not one woman in 10,000 had the courage or the desire to ask for whiskey as a tipple; indeed, it was- trbnsidered vulgar, and , a woman who might get under the ' - influence of wine and not think it a serious matter would shrink from taking a drink of whiskoy in a public place. Now that all is changed, and a 'high ball' is extremely popular and quite as srood form as any wine that ever gave its color to the cup. It is altogether in the name, I think, for leven yet the women won't ask for wiskey. A 'high ball' seems to be a different thing and they call for them, as easily as a man would. Whether they know what a 'high ball' is I'cannotsay,but I can-safely say a hundred women drink whiskey now where ten did ten years ago, which was before the advent of the 'high ball.' " N. Y. Sun. Bryan Recruits. Here is a partial record of one day's recruits to Bryan from the ranks, of life-long Republicans. Gen.
