FREE CITY DELIVERY. Gk W. BIGBY. %n?mm f ate??ipw**. Escaped in a Box. If Sam Yick will apply for it, he can easily obtain from the postal authorities a diploma for being tho subtlest Celestial they have ever had to deal with. QFor weeks he robbed the mails with out detection, for ten months he evaded the active search that was made for him, and finally he had him self boxed up as freight, and right under the very eyes of customs and postal officials shipped aboard a Chi nese steamship and so safely reached the Flowery Kingdom, where the little matter of forgery and robbing the United States mail do not count against a man's social standing or put him in jeopardy of San Quentin. Sam Yick came to this country early in life. He attended the public schools of this city, and by the time he was twenty years old was accounted one of the shrewdest and most capable of young Chinese in Chinatown. He became a member of the well-knowu butcher firm of Men, Yick & Co., and was looked upon as a rising young business man and one of the pillars of his town. In the early part of 1896 a series of postoffice robberies was committed which baffled the keenest investigations of the postal inspectors. A postoffice employee was suspected, but he was able to clear himself, and the mystery seemed insolvable. Letters contain ing drafts, money orders and curren cy, directed to a number of Chinese, and even to one or two American firms, were rifled of their contents somewhere after they reached the postoffice and before they reached their destination. Success made Sam Yick vain and boastful, and he told a friend of his misdeeds. An attempt was made to arrest him on the night of January 17, 1896, but Yick was warned just in time, and escaped over the roofs with the officers in hot pur suit. From the investigation made at the time it was found that he had in some manner secured keys to the postoffice boxes of the firms he robbed, and with daring and audacity almost unparalleled, he took the mail from the boxes, rifled it of its valuables and converted these to his own use. Of course, this made forgery necessary, but Yick had not gone to school to no purpose. He was an adept with the pen, and imitated Chinese and English chirography with skill. It is said that the net results of his felonies during the f ew weeks he was engaged in it were at least $4,000. When suddenly forced to leave his bed to escape the officers, he made his way to the interior of the State some where, and remained concealed for about ten months. At the end of that time a friend made up his mind to go to China, and Yick concluded to go with him. But he was so well known, and the postal authorities were so active in the search for him, that he did not dare risk any ordinary dis guises. Even to attempt t? get to San Francisco was attended with dan ger. In this predicament he had him self boxed up and shipped by rail to this city. Here he was entered at the custom house for export as freight, and put aboard one of the outgoing steamers. "When safely out at sea his friend, who was aboard as one of the passengers,-helped him to get out of Eis picking case, and he made the rest of the trip in comfort. But just how his friend managed to see that the box was kept right side up with care while it was being handled in the pro cess of shipment, and was not stowed away in the lower part of the hold with tons of freight on top of him, is one of the mysteries that has not yet been cleared up. It seems, however, that he did, for word has been received that he arrived safely on the other side, and is now drinking tea and eat ing bird's nests with rice in Canton in the elegant leisure his $4,000 af fords him.?San Francisco Examiner. To More Libby Prison Again, Libby prison will soon be closed. The Appomattox table, the first oil portrait of Grant, and all other pic tures, documents, cannons, rifles, ehot and shell forming the collection of American war relics, probably will find a resting place in \Yashington, D. C. The Chicago prison building will return to its original condition as a warehouse, unless the owners should change their plans and remove it to another part of the city. Financial considerations are respon sible for uie contemplated change. According to Charles F. Gunther, who manages the property for the company owning it, the prison has attracted comparatively few visitors lately, while the ground on which it stands has become too valuable for its pres ent use. The site occupies a frontage of 285 feet on the east side of Wabash avenue near Fifteeth street. The oompany has a ninety-nine year lease, of which nine-three years are Unex* pired. Mr. Gunther claims that the lease is worth $1,000 a foot frontage, the land being the largest available plat within euch short distance of the business center of the city. The original Libby prison of Ivich1 mond, Va., was purchased by a syndi cate of Ghieagoans in 1890, conspicu ous among the investors being C. F. Gunther, L. Manasse, W. H. Gray, I. L. Gould, Stewart Spalding and Charles E. Kremcr. Plans and photo graphs of the building as it stood were taken, and it was then carefully taken apart, placed on special trains and brought to Chicago, and as carefully rebuilt on the present site. The work was completed in 1892. During the World's Fair it was visited by many thousands of people and the owners netted during the season more than $60,000. Since that time the number of visitors has been very small and confined almost entirely to out-of-town people. Sir. G?nther says that thousands of Chicagoans arc not ?ware that the city possesses the only historical war collection in the country. He be lieves that Washington is the proper location for the exhibition and says that the owners will probably build a home for it there. It is just possible that the prison may be moved to a less valuable site, in which case the col lection of relics will remain in tho city.?Chicago Record. _ Trashy Medicines.

To the Editor of the News and Courier: The usually correct and always courteous correspondent of the Sunday News had to leave hurriedly as his ear was being detached from our train, and he, therefore, did not catch exactly my views as to the Confederate Vet erans' parading at the annual reunions of the U. C. V., and did not report them quite correctly in the issue of June 27. Therefore I ask that you will allow me to state my views on this subject in full. As I had the good fortune to ride on the parade with perfect comfort you will sec that I have no personal interest in my opinions. I am considering only the many old walking Veterans, who have placed me at their head. I think the Veterans are now so ad vanced in age that they cannot with due regard to their health and strength, make the long marches which we have had at Nashville and Richmond. En thused as we were at the recent re union at Nashville there was outside of the parade of Thursday, June 24, judging from the numbers I saw on the sidewalks, as interested lookers on, at least twice as many Veterans as there were in the marching column. Therefore it is fair to presume that only about one-third of the Areterans there present felt able to undergo the fatigues of the parade. For this reason I think it is time to discontinue them. At Nashville the parade had no special object bearing on the Veterans' interest. It was not a march to lay a corner-stone of the monument to our immortal Davis or paying any special respect to anything in our Lost Cause, or any of its glorious memories. It was simply an exhibition of the battle scarred Veterans for the amusement of the sight-seeing public. I cannot feel that we are oalled upon to make such demonstrations, old men as we all arc. It is nota question of "infra dig" only. Our youth has passed and too many of us have in the thirty-three years which have gone by since we faced Thomas at Nashville lost the physical ability necessary for a four miles' march on a hot summer's day. A proper respect for these old Veterans should dictate that they be not called upon to make such exertions at their time of life. It is no proper part of these reunions. I understand that these reunions are for the pleasure of the Veterans ? to bring old comrades together: to build up a sentiment in favor of the righteousness of our cause; to show the world that we are proud of it and all that we did for it, and thus influence its future judgment. Not to parade around for the amusement of the crowd. If the entertaining city will furnish horses or carriages forali the Veterans, so that they can move in comfort then we might consent to pocket our dignity and parade for the crowd of lookers-on. Will Atlanta make thie improvement in the details of the reunion of 1898 ? Otherwise count me as an opponent of these Veterans' parades. C. Irvine Walker. Tho Kerosene Emulsion. As the kerosene emulsion is of such varie is uses, it wi.ll.be well for read ers to take especial pains to keep it on hand for the daily emergencies happening on every farm.

When they set their hearts upon mar i rying a man there is little hope for his ' escape, at Jhe might as well surrender I at discretion. story comes from the White Oak region of Kentucky that illustrates this fact. It is an unusual complication, too, the widow in the case having her own daughter for a rival. Martha Berry was fair and forty, but whether fat or not the deponent scith not. Some years ago she lost her Husband, but a daughter remained to comfort her and to be comforted. This daughter, Matilda, has just reached the age of 13, and 13 fair to look upon. In the neighbor hood of the Berry domicile lived Johnson Whitley, a prosperous farmer of 30 and a widower. Whitley has been paying attention to Mrs. Berry's daughter for six months and it was supposed generally they would be married soon. The mother would not give her consent, but she did not object to the young widower's calls. He pleaded with the widow for the hand of her daughter to no purpose and the young people decided on an elopement. All the arrangements were made for the elopement, but the watchful mother discovered what was on foot, and on Fridp.y night) the time set for the elopement, she went to her daughter's room shortly after dark and bound the girl hand and foot. She also tied a gag in her mouth, and took her to her own room and tied her to the bed. She then returned to the daughter's room, and when Whitley came to steal away his love tbe widow answered the summons, and without speaking a word joined the young man in the yard. He assisted her into his buggy, and drove with her to Grayson, the county seat of Carter county, where he had arranged with Judge Morris to perform the ceremony. Whitley was surprised at the silence of his companion, b t as slie leaned confidingly on his arm and appeared to be sobbing all the time he could do nothing more than caress her now and then and cheer her up by telling her that her mother would forgive her. It was not until after the ceremony was performed on the Judge's frout porch and they had repaired to a hotel that the bridegroom saw that be had mar ried the widow. He decided at once to make the best oi: the situation. He took his wedded wife home, and to a neighbor he said that although he thought he was dead in love with Matilda he always did think a great deal of her handsome mother. Matilda was discovered bound in her mother's room by a neighbor the next morning, and when she learned of the trick her mother had played b?r ?he s?id that although she thought she loved Mr. Whitley she is now satisfied she did not. She promises to be a dutiful daughter to him.?Chitago Chronicle. ? The most tired people in the world are those who do not half work.

If women were less lazy they would not grow so stout. No woman can re duce her flesh who lacks courage. The woman who is inclined to be swut can gain a pound quicker in a day than the slender woman can in a year. It is said that when the beautiful Em press of Austria discovered that her waist was growing larger, and that her beautifully modeled chin was losing its curve, she, the finest horseman in the world, gave up riding and took long walks every day and in all sorts weather. To grow thin you must ex ercise. Walk if you can, bui;, better still, work; kcepmindand body busy. Above all, renounce everything that comes from the confectioner. Eat moderately of underdone meat, green vegetables, salads and those fruits that are slightly acid. Drink but little, bathe regularly, taking tepid baths.

Vou may pay just as much ? or half or quarter as much, for.a bad piano, but in that case you waste all of your money.

You get the first-class piano; you get the reputation ; but you pay only for the piano.
