funds to help build the monument. Kirmess, I
believe, doesn’t mean something to eat, but I

A CONVENIENT WOODEN LEG.

Philadelphia News.
“How can I get that man arrested?”
asked a woman wearing a plain black suit
and a black hat, over wnicn wus drawn a
blue veil, to a .Philadelphia gentleman as
no hurried by a lamp-post at the southeast
corner of .Eleventh and Marble streets,
last evening. As she spoke she pointed to
the retreating figure of a man who was
limping down towards Tenth btreet.
“ What has he done ?”
“He pieked my pocket not a second
ago.”
The gentleman lost not a moment, and
an instant later he had grasped the man
by the arm. The latter turned as he felt
tne touch on the arm, aud asked with a
slight foreign accent, “What is the mat
ter?”
“This lady says you picked her pocket,”
replied the citizen-policeman, indicating
the lady, who had meanwhile come up
with the pair.
“Bir!” came the indignant exclamation.
Then a moment of pause, aud later a
sneering smile, aud the words, “You are
at liberty to search me, sir.”
There was something in the smile that
was not quite frank, and ail investigation
was made. Thu alleged thief held up his
hands aud facilitated the examination of
his pockets with the utmost coolness. As
the gentleman reached the trousers pocket
he noticed, in feeling for the lost wallet,
that the man had a wooden leg. I mine-

At the headquarters of the Chicago
Checker Club a deeplv interested crowd
of lovers of this scientific game lias gath
ered every day for the last week. The
attraction has been the playing of James
D. Reed, jr.. of i’ittsburg, who is visiting
the city. Mr. Reed performs a feat in
checker-playing which was never wit
nessed before in Cblcago, playing a num
ber oi games simultaneously and with his
eyes blindfolded.
Last night he played four games at the
same time, without looking at either of
the four boards. His opponents were
players who in local circles are considered
experts. All through the game, or rather
the four games, Reed never failed to re
member accurately the position on each
board when he came to it. In one instance,
on board No. 3, he made a move which ho
quickly retracted.
“If I move there,” he said, "I will get
the worst ol lt.”
“No, you won’t.” said the player at the
board; “you could move and come out
even.”
“No, I couldn’t,” said Reed; and sitting
In the corner ten feet away from the board
and with his back to it, he went five or
Bix moves ahead, and snowed his oppo
nent and those who were looking on that
the move which he had taken back was a
mistake.
Of the four games Reed won three, fail
ing only on board No. 4, where an cld
checker enthusiast was playing a game he
learned forty years ago. and wbioh gener
ally beats the most skillful player of the
E resent day when it is brought out against
lm the first time. Reed is 28 years old.
He won local fame in Pittsburg as a check
er player when a mere boy, being at that
time a carrier for the Pittsburg Leader. He
is a small man, with shoulders slightly
stooped, and sharp, thin features.
“I have played checkers,” he said, “all
my life, ana I never get tired of the game.
I nave played as many as ten games aim
ultaneously and won seven or them. I
have also played oheokers and chess at the
same time.”
About a year Mr. Reed went to Europe
and spent several montbB Id England and
Scotland. In all the principal cities and
towns there he felled to find anybody who
could vanquish him. Next week he will
go to Boston to play for the obampionshlp
of America. His opponent will be Samuel
D. Barker, who has held the champion
ship for some time.
Jeffersonian Simplicity at Oak View.
Philadelphia Telegraph's Washington Dispatch.
Few people imagine how fond the presi
dent is of domestic pleasures and pastures.
He and Mrs. Cleveland are as happy and
as merry as children when they are out at
Oak View, with no cares of state to occupy
Orover’s attention. They have a little old
rlcketty doctor’s buggy and a poky old
horse that is “perfectly safe,” and they
drive with perfect indifference to the dig
nity of the great executive office.
They find a quiet, unconven
tional delight in thus logging over
the country roads unobserved, and without
pretentions. One evening this week they
drove up, all unexpectedly, to the white
house in this rig. The president was driv
ing and Mrs. Cleveland sat by lilsside look
ing as sweet and happy as a country bride.
There was mud on the buggy wheels and
the top was ragged and stained, and the
horse was slow and bony. The side on
which the president sat was borne down at
a dangerous angle. They were unattended
and unexpected. The president of this
mighty nation turned the head of the old
horse about and helped his pretty bride
from the old buggy.

Bpeoial Dispatch to London Times.
Favored by splendid autumn weather,
the emperor to-day passed in review the
Second or Pomeranian army corps, which
put into the field on a peace' footing thirty-
tour battalions aud a corresponding force
of artillery, altogetuer a very fine body of
troops, quite equal in drill and discipline
to the Guards in Berlin, though the in
fantry were almost ail undersized men and
did anything but answer to the expecta
tions of those strnngers who may have
been led by Prince Bismarck’s frequent
allusions to the belies of a healthy Pome
ranian musketeer, and other references of
the chancellor to the soldiers of his own
home reg.on, to expect the sight of
brawny aud formidable giants. The
heavy cavalry, which comprises one
regimeut of Cuirassiers and two of
Uhlans, were flue, big-boned, service
able men, as hardy as Highlaudors,
but the infantry for the most part struck
me as being of short stature, short but
broad-chested, strong nnd inflexible as
flint. The general bearing and appearunco
of these troops, as indeed of overy other
army corps in the empire, can only be
spoken of in terms of almost unqualified
praise. But it was not so much the mili
tary as the persoual element in to-day’s re
view which formed the chief object of at
traction to all who witnessed it. The acci
dent which prevented the emperor from
going to Konigsberg had led the Pomera
nians to fear that his visit to them might
perhaps be marred by the etfects of it, but
what was their joy and astonishment to
behold their nonagenarian Kaiser, punctu
ally, as usual, on the stroke of 11, the ap
pointed hour, drive up to the head of his
waiting troops looking, as far as looks
went, almost as hale and well as when he
reviewed them in similar circumstances
eight years ago after returning from his
meeting with the late Czar Alexander II.
at Alexaudrovo.
After inspecting both lines of the troops,
each of which seemed to stretch away over
dale and down to the vanished point, the
emperor drove up and took position with
his large and brilliant suite, which includ
ed the empress, with whom sat Princess
William, Prince William. Prince Frederiek
Leopold (only son of the late Red Prince),
looking all the manlier for his recent tour
round the world, and Field Marshal Count
von Molike, fresh and straight still in spite
of his eighty-seven years.
The troops marched past twice in differ
ent formations, and this part of the show
lasted nearly two hours, the emperor stood
upright most ot the time in his carriage,
which he occupied alone, using no other
support than what was afforded by a walk
ing stick. It was a proud moment for his
majesty when his grandson, Prince Wil
liam, led past his Infantry regiment, but
louder still was the cheering when the
twelve companies of the Colberg Grenad-
jers came tramping past like liv
ing walls, the proudest regiment on
In the dearest the smoke oost about seven-
pence. The drug supplied in each class is
much the same both in quality and quan
tity; it is the difference in the pipes
that regulates the price. The best kind
are made of ivory, the stem being often
inlaid with stones, and rendered more
costly by reason of elaborate carving; tho
cheapest are made simply of bard wood.
The rooms also are furnished according to
class. In the most expensive the lounge
upon which the smoker reclines is
of fine velvet, with pillows of tho
material; the frames of each couch urc in
laid with mother of pearl and jade, and the
wholo air of these rooms is one of sensu
ous luxury. There Is also a number of
private rooms. In the poorer section will
be seen many wearers of the tattered yel
low and gray robes of Buddhist and Travist
priests. Women form a fair proportion of
the smokers. The common belief is that
the opium sleep is attended by a mild,
pleasurable delirium, with brief glances of
olvsium; but this is the exception, not tho
rule. People smoko to satisfy the craving
begotten of previous indulgence. There is
accommodation for 150 smokers nt a time,
and there is seldom a vacancy very long.
The stream of smokers goes on from early
morning until midnight, when the plnee
closes; the clouds of smoke go up inces
santly all day long. Europeans do not
often visit the place, but the seamen of
American men-of-wur visiting Shanghai
sometimes seek solaco in tho drug.—-North

the field, for their head Is no less
a personage than Count von Molike him-
self, and no one would think, to see the
field marshal pacing along, so easy and
erect In the saddle, that he is only ahout
three years younger than the emperor him
self—physically almost a greater miraole
still. The emperor beckons the great
strategist to approach and extends his
band in silent gratitude and admiration to
him alone of all the commanders as to the
man who has done most to win all Germa
ny’s momentous battles. But the multi
tude of onlookers was moved by another
touching incident, and that was when the
Second Cuirassiers, in all their shining
panoply of mail, came moving on to the
majestic notes of the “Hohenfriodberg
march,” one of the finest musical achieve
ments of Frederick the Great. For this
was a king who not only could win great
and decisive battles, but also transmit tbo
memory of them to posterity in immortal
strains. The chief of the Second Cuiras
siers is the empress, who had donned a
white mantle edged with magr.eta, in ex
act harmony with the tunics of her mag
nificent troopers, and on their approach
her majesty rose up in her carriage with
the support of her staff, and thus
remained until the five ponderous squad
rons had defiled before her, evoking loud
plaudits from the spectators. These cheers
were partly out of compliment to tho gal
lantry of the emperor, who, seeing how
his now ratherinnrm consort was engaged,
had meanwhile left his carriage und step-
E ed up to the side of the empress, whose
and he kissed in recognition of the splen
did efficiency of her regiment and her de
votion to it.
Not satisfied with the great exertion he
had undergone in witnessing the repeated
march past ot his troops, the emperor at
the close of the review drove down the
long extended ranks of all the local Krie-
S ervereine or societies of veterans, who
elped him to win Duppel, Koniggratz
and Sedan, and then hurried back to the
Schloss, there to rest a little before sitting
down to tho banquet which their majesties
gave to-night to all the chief commanders
of the Second corps. It is probable that,
in addition to adhering to all the parts of
his programme, the emperor will go to
witness one act at least of the ever-pleasing
“Mikado,” whose present performance
here by an English company forms one of
the attractions of this week of festive mili
tarism at Stettin.
Tho other day, says the New York Tri
bune, Jay Gould visited the office of Ur.
William Hammond, on West Fifty-fourth
street, for the purpose of finding out what,
if anything, was the matter with bis
head. He had been troubled with neural
gia and insomnia, and decided that he
would have Ur. Hammond test his cranium
with his wonderful thermo-electric differ
ential calorimeter. Within half an hour
after Mr. Gould’B visit, the doctor was
overwhelmed with questions, as to the na
ture of the Wall street magnate’s malady.
The questions came by telegraph, by mes
senger, and by personal entreaty, for
the most part, of course, from people
interested in the stook market. A
Tribune reporter, who dosired to learn
the opinion of the ex surgeon-general of
the army, in regard to the proposed ser
vice pension bill, which is now the sub
ject or discussion in army and navy circles,
called on the doctor yesterday, and before
entering upon that topic. Incidentally
asked him what was the result of his exam
ination of Mr. Gould’s head.
“I shall not tell you.” replied Dr. Ham
mond, with professional weariness. “I
never talk about the cases of my patients.
If I did, I might often give out points
which would make serious changes in
stock Quotations In Wall street, and that
would be manifestly improper and dishon
est on my part. But,” continued he, “If
you will step with me into my examina
tion room. I will show you the ‘machine’
I examined Mr. Gould’s head with.”
The calorimeter rested upon a table be
fore the darkened window. The doctor
explained that it was the invention of Dr.

of the phrenology at Harvard. Its action

It is situated in the French concession in

nothing as to tne condition of his famous
patient’s head. It was learned elsewhere,
nevertheless, that Mr. Gould’s fears for the
condition of his brain have been quieted
by the action of the doctor's little machine,
and that his Bleep has returned to him and
his neuralgia has in a great measure de
parted. Most people on Wall street will
be glad to bear be is not bo much awake os
he has been of late.
In regard to the pension discussion the
ex-surgeon-general said ho was earnestly
in favor of giving a pension to all volun
teers who needed assistance, and that,
while it was a subject which ought to bo
well considered before an opinion wan ex
pressed, he thought that the monthly
amount should be graded In accordance
with the time tho veteran had served. But
by was utterly against pensioning drafted
men or substitutes. "These men,” said be,
“went only because they were obliged to,
and deserve no pension. Iiut the men who
volunteered, especially those who went at
the beginning of the struggle, should re
ceive the aid of the government if they
need it, and 1 am not prepared to say they
ought not to be pensioned any way."

That is to say, your lungs. Also all
your bruathing machinery. Very wonder
ful machinery it is. Not only the larger
air-passages, but the thousands of little
tubes ana cavities leading from them.
When these are clogged and choked
with inatter which ought not to be there,
your lungfi cannot half do their work.
And what they do, they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia,
catarrh, consumption or any of the family
of throat and nose and head and lung ob
structions, all are bad. All ought to be
got rid of. There is just one sure way to
get rid of them. That is to take Hoschce’s
German Syrup, which any drug
gist will sell you at 75 cents a bottle. Even
if everything else has failed you, you may
depend upon this for certain.
I have a larger stock of Gentlemen's Hand
.Sewed Shoes this season than I « ver had before

goods guaranteed. Give me a cull and convince
yourself. I mean business. W.w. Meyer.
