Free After .Many Years.
'Thank God I'm horce aginl"
said 'William Kelly, octogenarian,
who on the thirty-fifth anniversary
of the date of hi imprisonment
walked out of Siog Sing a free
man and hastened, with his wid
owed daughter, Mrs. John i'on
nell,to her little cottage, 113 Wash
ington street, Jamaica, N. Y.
He was sitting while he spoke in
the small parlor, gazing oat across
the street at the churchyard of St.
Monica, in which his wife was laid
to rest ten years ago.
'She is lying over there," he
said, poiutiug toward the grave
yard. ''Wouldn't she le glad to
lie here now to welcome me back!"
Then while a hardness crept in
to his voice and a shadow crossed
his face he exclaimed, "Well, the
judge that tried me and every one
of the jruymen are rotten in
their graves!" He laughed a
triumphant laugh andchuckledand
put his arms around his two little
gramlsons and kissed them.
Kelly was convicted of the mur
der of Garret W. Xostrand in a
roadhouse row at Syossct in 1S71
and sentenced to imprisonment for
life. John Devine was given a
like sentence for the killing: of
N'ostmnd and is still serving it out
in Dannemora.
"1 knew nothing of the killing,"
Kelly said after his release, "hut
the administration of the law in
those days was queer.
' I always felt," he continued,
"that I'd live to liea free man,
hut how things have changed. I
didn't know anything or where I
was until I saw St. Monica's
church up the street. It was built
fifty years ago, and I used to go to
mass in it. When I saw it I knew
then where 1 was and that I was
free at last."
SI B WAY I.IKK A PRISON.
Kelly then sat silent for a few
moments, patting his orphan
grandson on the head, and then,
as if talking to himself, he said:
''I don't like the subway. It's
white and gray and like the prison
and makes you think of the cells.
There's a prison smell in it. I'll
walk the next time," he went on
after a pause.
'I didn't like Clinton prison. I
was there ten years, but Sing Sing
was 1 tetter. They were all good to
me there, but I was very lonely.
The only offset to the lonesome
ness was sleep. If you could sleep
you were all right; if you couldn't
you weren't. Sunday wastheltest
day lteeause you could lie in your
cell all day and sleep and forget it
all. All the poor fellows long for
sleep to sleep away the time until
they're free. You don't want rest;
you want, 10 iorget mat you're a
prisoner.

twenty-live years to get used to it.
1 might have got ased to it sooner,
maybe, if 1 was not innocent, but
ten years ago I said, 'If it's the
will of the Lord that I'm to end
my days here, then let his holy
will be done.' I was contented
ever since, and when they told me
I was pardoned it came as a sur
prise to me.

Wa:er Tips Cior? ed Whh Fish.
New York. Dispatch, Zri.
Manhattan avenue, in this vicia
ity of One Hundred and Eighteenth
strret, at 10 o'clock thismormng
resembled a fish market after an
explosion. Street, side walks and
door steps were covered with fish
of nearly every variety, excepting
sharks and whales. There were
bass, trout, perch, eels, minnows
and other species on down the fish
liive to tadpole.
Housewives, men and children
thronged the thoroughfare and
gathered the fish into pails, buck
ets and paper liagj for use at the
family dinner table.
All the fish and there were
thousands of them spurted out of
the hydrants in the vicinity when
the latter were opened this morn
ing by employes of the lepart
meitt of Water supply, in an effort
to learn the cause of the impure
water of which that section has
recently complained. Investiga
tion shows that many of the water
pipes were clogged with hsh. some
dead and some alive.
How to Break Up a Cold
It may be a surprise to wauy to
LintxIiiton Journal,
This (Thursday) afternoon,
Jake, aged S, and Lewis, aged 5,
sons of Mr. EJ. Crowell, received
burns from which it is hardly
thought they will recover. '
Mr. Crowell lives on West Syc
amore street About half past two
o'clock, the two boys came running
from the kitchen, their little bodies
enveloped in flames. Mrs. Crowell
succeeded in smothering the fire
but not until the clothes were
burned from the little fellows.
From the Itest information obtain
able, the boys were pouring oil in
the stove, this igniting, pausng the
can to explode, covering them with
burning oil.
Dr. L. A. Crowell was the first
physician to reach the scene, and-
every effort is lieing made to pre
serve the lives of the unfortunate
little boys, but very little hope is
entertaiued for their recovery.
Their whole liodies were burned,
the skiu falling off upon theslight
est touch.
' It is a pitiful sight to see these lit
tie Itoys lying on the bed in their
agony.
The parents have the deepest
learn that a severe cold cau be com-1 sympathy of the whole town and
pletely broken up in one or two day's
time. The first symptoms of a cold
are a dry. loud cough, a profuse wa
tery discharge from the nose, and a
thin, white coating on the tongue.
When Chamberlain. s cough remedy

learance of these syntptoiui, it coun

tion within a day or two. For sale

Pumping Out Wine Cellars.
The California Wine association
reeentlv sent to Stockton a liarge
oad of wine saved from its cellars
on Fourth and Bran nan streets, in
San Francisco, which will lie dis
tilled into brandy. The wine was
pumped from the cellar of the
burned storage place into the liarge,
which holds 250,000 gallons, and
was towed to Stockton by a steain-
Itoat. Then it was pumped into
tank earsand conveyed to the El
Mnal winery.
A tire brigade is now being used
to pump out the wine in the San
Francisco cellar and it is inn
through 2,000 feet of pipe to the
foot of Third street, where it Is
oaded into tanks. About one and
a half million gallons of wine will
tc saved in this manner.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf,
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when it is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result, and unless the in
flammation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condition
hearing will be destroyed forever; 9
cases out of 10 are caused by Catarrh
which is nothing but an inflamed
condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
Hall's Catarrh Cure. Send for circu
lars free.

Going all Rij ht.
As I rode up to the shanty of a
Nebraska pinoneer and helloed to
bring someone to the door, the
man came from around the corner
of the house with a shotgun in his
hands. I asked for a drink of
water and got it, and then asked:
"Folks gone away or sick!"
"No."
"Expect trouble, that you have
that gun handy!''
"May be trouble but, but I seas
y think so."
"Aren't you putting in any new
crops this year!"
"Not yet."
I took another look around and
then started to ride away, but he
halted me and said:
"oiranger, tnmgs may look a
little blue to you around here, but
they are going all right. The old
woman has gone to town to sue a
feller who sold her a snide sewing
machine; my son Joe has gone with
her to sue a widder woman who
promised to marry him and then
th rowed him down; my daughter
Mary has gone with ma and Joe to
sue a feller for breach of promise,
and I'm stayin' home to pop the
sheriff if he comes along to fore
close a mortgage on the farm. We
are all right, and old Nebraska is

kicking about is that Ave are too
