Sheriff Hill, while on his rounds through the county jail this morn- ing, discovered that one of the large the lower cage of the jail, had been sawed nearly in two. The sheriffs suspicions were directed to John Medley, a prisoner from Bates coun- ty, who was sent here for safe keep- ing. The sheriff accused Medley of the work, who at first denied it, but afterwards admitted that he had been sawing at the bar for several days. The work was accomplished with a small saw of very fine steel, much resembling the scroll saw used by carpenters. It was kept concealed in a towel used by the prisoners. When asked where the instruments were kept with which he did the work Medley said he had . thrown them in the closet, but an investiga- tion showed they were still wrapped up in the towel, and it was no doubt Medley’s intention, as well as that of some of the other prisoners, to gain admission to the rotunda and then overpower the sheriff or the deputy and effect their escape- Sher- iff Hill said to a Mail reporter who visited the jail today that he had been suspicioning something wrong for several days. In view of this fact he has carried the keys to the jail himself, and kept his eye peeled for trouble. Medley is held for bur- glary.— Nevada Mail. Medley’s mother lives in this city and takes in washing for a livelihood and is a hardworking deserving wo- man, and her son who is a young man, stout and healthy, could have been of great help to her had he not long ago turned out to be a worth less vagabond and petty thief. He has barely escaped the penitentiary on cne or two other occasions, and the proof is conclusive against him this time and it is only a question of time when he will put on the stripes for a term of years. Geo. Canterbury desires us to say that he has a large list of lands and also good town property for sale or for exchange for any kind of good property.

Jeweled Fads Which Are Delighting the Searte of Dades and Dudines. “I gave you a silver dollar for some cigars half an hour ago. Will you look over your money drawer and see if it has been passed out?” It was in a Chestnut street cigar store late Saturday afternoon. A well- dressed young fellow was the speaker. His face wore a worried and anxious look, and betrayed considerable per- turbation over the loss of the silver The dealer found that he had them in a row on the counter. The young man took them up one by one, weighed each in turn in his hand, and an expression of vexation overspread his face as he Jaid the-last down very carefully and murmured: «I knew I couldn't tell that way."’ ‘Then he went at them again. This time he grasped the dollar firmly with one hand and pressed the nail upon the letter “E’ in ‘states.’’ At the eleventh dollar to which he applied the nail of the little finger, all the others having been broken in the tray, there came a sudden change in the appear- ance of the coin. Half of it slid one way and half the other, and in the lower half, crystal, was the miniature of an extremely pretty girl. The young man heaved a sigh of relief, laid down a greenback in exchange, and left the store ruefully regarding his broken finger uails. H: was one of the numerous vic- tims of a fad that has lately struck Philadelphia with all the vigor of odili- ty and expensiveness combined. The pocket-pieces are made of two coins, hollowed out and fitted together with such exactness that they can not be distinguished from a genuine coin, even by a microscope. A picture of the owner's best girl is the correct thing to go inside, and the faddist may pay from $6 to $35 for the frame. There is arage just now for quaint conceits and queer little kickshaws in the jewelry line. ‘The heart of the ultra-fashionable youth has latterly be- gun influencing his pocket to the ex- tent of $12 or $15 for a half- ounce weight cigarette holder. The tiny bowl and stem are made of solid gold, . with daintily enameled forget-me-nots scat- tered over the surface. The mouth- piece is of clouded amber. The lorgnette craze bowls along as lively asever, but the latest fad is to have the nine-inch handle of gold-pierced and chased. The run on the tiger eye, which was so pronounced a few weeks ago, has begun to decline, and the beautiful little miniatures are tak- ing its place. The run on these miniatures does not amountto a crase as yet, but if it does, and it is very likely to; the faddists will betray the possession of more common-sense than they usually exercise. The miniatures are really works of art and set in finger rings, scarf pina, brooches and even as pendants on a lady’s'fob chain. {t is the thing now for a girl to carry:a small puff b x with her of solid gold just an inch and a half square and three-quarters of an inch deep, with # wee bit of powder puff that don’t look big enough to whiten my lady’s dimple. The ivory miniature set in the lid makes miss’ papa pay to the tune of $65 for the whiteness of her face. The latest fad, and one which has caught on a viversally, is the driving watch, A leather band of a size to fit the wrist, and strongly resembling an ordinary strap shawl, in appear- ance, with punched holes and a buckle, has stitched to its back a small watch, the facs where f is cov- ered with heavy rock crys.aL The leather is wrapped around the wrist, the watch toward the back, .and its open face may be referred to at any time while driving literally by a “turn of the wrist,’ Ii gems, the favorite now is the ruby, principally beeause the mines have been exhausted and rubies are excecdingly high priced. Black pearls are also becoming the rage, but not for beauty, for, 10 an amateur mind, they haven't half the charm of the white pearl. But black pearls are freaks, and expensive freaks, and fad- ism.—Pitladelphia News. —_—o What Glass Eyes Cost The price of giass cyes is becoming cheaper on account of competition, aud atthe same time the quatity is better than hitherto. A common glass eye may be had for $10, but they ure not a good imitation and do not las long. A first-class eye cosis $50. or even more. The best will not last over two years, because the secre- tions in the hollow ofthe eye roughen the glass by che nical zciion, and this roughness irri ates the fiesh. Ifa person could buy glass eves xt whoiesale, by the gross, he could got them for about $2 apiece But he woull have to lok over a great many before fi ding one to mach his other eye in size, color, and expression.
