REMARKABLE MAN EATS FIVE HUNDRED POUNDS OF GLA88. From The San Francisco Chronicle. Nobody knows his name, yet every body In Kennewick, Wash., Is acquaint ed with him. “Irish Tim’' Is the name by which he answers when asked to have a drink; but there are few bar tenders In Kennewick who will now- consent to servo him unless n chain Is Ilrst fastened to the glas.s for Tim has a penchant for eating such dellca- rles ns beer bottles, tumblers and other glassy receptacles in which the In ebriating beverages are dispensed. Tim Is n stnlwnrt fellow, and a veri table giant, 6 feet 5 Inches tall, heavy In proportion, with great, broad, pow erful shoulders that look as though they could furnish a force sufficient to put several Jim Jeffries out of busi ness without the least exertion. Tim only wears a No. 14 shoe, spe cially made to order, and has a hand big enough to cover nn ordinary saucer. He Is perhnps the strongest man In the West outside of a circus, and he at tributes his marvelous strength to the fact thut he has eaten glaaa ever alnce a small boy In Ireland. When Irish Tint made his appearance In Kennewick he caused the natives to Imagine suddenly that they had all gone craiy. and were "aeeln' things." The first extraordinary thing the big fellow did was to go Into a grocery store nnd purchase a half dosen glass tumblers. Then he strolled leisurely out to the curb of the plank sidewalk, sat down, opened up the bundle, and proceeded to devour the glasses much ns n schoolboy devours his noonday lunch. A- good-slxed crowd had soon accumulated, and. of course, everybody thought at Ilrst that he was working Off a little of Hermann legerdemain. Hut Tim sat there as ImlTtrerent to their gaze und crltrlama ns an as tronomer to the maneuvers of an ant colony. When he had devoured the Inst of the six tumblers he arose slow ly, smacked his lips, looked around to see that he had left no scraps and sauntered Into a nearby saloon In search of n “chaser." Of course, the bartender wouldn't accept payment from a man who could draw such a large crowd os Tim hail done, so the hlg fellow got Ills drink for nothing. But when the fellow behind the bar nst his eye nround for the whisky glass, It lmd followed the chaser.
