w-t friends on an incoming train, and that
" was expected to be around in trim for
lusiness thereafter. In a moment of weak
ens he permitted a friend to persuade him

i-hole horse. In an hour it was a team and
horse to let. He was wide awake. He

of the Hoffman House. Two big lamps in
front of the entrance fore the words:
TURKISH. RUSSIAN.

"‘l’m going to give you a Turkish bath,”
ir j the stranger’s conductor. “You have
Overbad one, I presume.”
The stranger admitted that he had never
enjoyed ail Oriental ablution and his escort
SU -■ Nothing like a Turkish bath to foil the
effects of a late dinner .out of you and
,lighten you up for business.”
\ young man that talked like a mother
who is afraid of waking the baby welcomed
he stranger in the little office of the bath
louse, and led him over a carpet soft as a
eather bed to a room full of bunks sepa
rated from each other by curtains hung on
ides a little higher than the head. Hub
bed light pervaded the place, and a gentle
more proceeded from one berth. The
Granger entered a compartment containing
[ couch and what looked like a hexagonal
lorse block The soft-voiced young man
laid:
‘‘Please peel!”
The stranger unharnessed. Then the at
endant girded him about with a long
■rash towel and invited him out. The at
iendant and his curious charge threaded a
larrow passage between two rowsof bertlis.
\ door was thrown open and the stronger
magined that he had made a mistake and
rot into the furnace of the establishment. It
vas a large iron-walled room. There were
n it many chairs with foot-rest attachments.
Sow these chairs endured the place without
‘combusting” was a mystery.
The attendant asked the stranger to sit
lown and make himself at home. As he
iad never been to Gehenna the novice
louldn’t exactly do it, but he sat down and
jade farewell to earth. The attendant went
>ut and shut the door. The stranger actu
dlv breathed. Every breath seemed to
31-oil his lungs. He began to wonder what
Kirt of a delicacy roasted man would be. His
’eet were done first, then his aims were
‘ooked, and then his checks thawed out.
His sense of smell survived the ordeal, and
the subtle odor of the absinthe thut he had
drank appeared to pervade all the place.
Every pore in his body wept with anguish
at tlie ordeal. The attendant came in with
a wet towel and put it on his head. In a
minute the towel was steaming.' Then the
attendant fetched a silver mug full of cold
water, which the novice drank with the
lurking suspicion that the intense heat
would convert it into steam and blow him
up. He sat down and reflected on his sins,
and waited for the explosion.
Twenty minutes elapsed. Every pore in
his body had become an artesian v eil.
Filially the door opened, and a man not
overdressed entered. He wore a finger ring
and a towel. He was a perfect Hercules in
build, and every muscle was well developed.
He asked the stranger if he desired to enter
the hot room.
“What in the thunder do you call this?”
asked the sufferer. “Is this your ref rigera
tor?”
Hercules smiled and said: “This is 150 de
grees hot. That room in there is much hot
ter. Some gentlemen prefer it.”
“If you have a nice cool apartment in the
furnace of the hotel I would like it,” said the
stranger.
Hercules felt of the sufferer’s shins, and
said
“ You seem to be perspiring well."
“1 seem to he expiring,” retorted the vic
tim.
“Please step this way,” said Hercules.
He led his victim across the hall into a
damp room with what looked like a wet dis
secting table at one side. A silver mounted
host- hung suspiciously from one wall, and
the top of a big pepper fox looked down
fre u tin- ceiling. Hercules laid out his vic
tim on the dissection table, apparently for
tli -lust .sad rites of the ceremony. He drew
a topper dish pan full of warm water from
tb silver-mounted liose, dipped his soft,
strong hands in the water and gave the sub
let a vigorous scrubbing. He washed and
wrung out the subject’s limbs, and every
Snare tiich of the cuticle gave up its secrets.
Juua he took a currycomb and went over
the victim. He soaped the manly frame of
hi person, and sweetly asked if he should
us- a stiffer brush.
"If you have a garden rake or some gen
ti‘ instrument, please use that,’’ said the vic
tim.
Hercules was perspiring himself. Great
wads of sweat stood all over his rounded
Mv. and the light illuminated them until
lie looked like a diumdnd-mounted man.
H hen he had curried his subject and
waped his head, Hercules blandly asked him
to sit up on the edge of the dissecting table,
in n Hercules went over and toyed with the
jjuver-niounted hose a moment. An ominous
oiK followed, and a second later the victim
"as trying in vain to catch his breath. Her
cules had turned the hose on him. The Cre
tan river and the Atlantic ocean wore, it
warned, after the poor, defenseless wretch on
the dissecting table. In vain lie swung his
arms and tried to get, Hercules to behave
aunself. His eyes and mouth got full of
snap and water, and his breat h refused to be
taught.
In the early part of tho torture the water
~ come from the temperate zone. Then
grew cold and cruel, and the sharp, frosty
needles of the Arctic shot into every pore.
Hercules calmly held the hose and the vic
tim, who a few minutes before had been, as
Jjj 1 thought, a thousand degrees above zero,
mus now away down in the basement of tho
/ t.ierinonfcter. His teeth chattered a vain
protest, but Hercules hold to the hose and
pt on. Then Hercules took his limp sub
let under the end of the invei-ted pepper
ft i “Bd all the previous misery was lorgot
** -i m theagonv of that relentless shower. A
thousand aqueous needles came down with
(<*rl iil force and pierced tho victim’s de
mnseless hotly. After about a thousand
Jours of this torture Hercules said, "Please
kt rf/ "tit this way.”
~ ’f. 1 ” subject wondered what new torture
frs In-ndlsh ingenuity would next invent,
ot-rcules conducted the wretch to the hall
kindly mopped the soup rind water out
el ins eyes and wrung him out. When ho
had partially wiped nis subject be hung him
out, to dry. Ho produced a table cloth,
him > n nd led him hack to his
berth.
i he worst of the ordeal was over. Her
cules gave the novice a warm drink and
, eu ‘hid him out in his bunk, tuc-ked him
ill'ra ’“'fieri}' ns a mother docs her babe,
“'‘ I told him to go to sleep. This untram
meled way of sleeping ai Adam must have
‘(mo before the cotton factory was invented,
, ’ Vcl *y unique. The subject’s pores con
tinued to weep gently, and a man in the
next berth snored with sonorous emphasis,
m YL w f u a - m - and fifty men were sleeping
i? i** th bouse. At, least 4DO persons take
nath daily j n tb Hoffman Houscand
, place resorts, the latter being the
i'ii “tnious in the city. 'AtfjAitffiT fifty

“ the Hoffman Hom-e on
uppor floor. Tm-ir Du. ,
m. until fi p. m. At least a thousand per
sons a day enjoy the torture of Turkish and
Russian baths in New York.
The stranger laid down in his berth and
argued with the absinthe his right to sleep.
The absinthe and tho suorer in the next
berth contested this right, and came out
ahead. At 4 o’clock a party of young aris
tocrats came in, and one of them, upon
whom Bacchus seemed to have a first mort
gage, made much noise. Hercules took him
in hand, and in short order subdued him
with the hose. The attendant went about
with clothes-pins and subdued the noses of
those who were snoring. The quiet of a
Chrsitian night pervaded the place. Sleep
and the absinthe had a brief collar-and-elbow
wrestle, and sleep won. The victim rested
and perspired.
Five o’clock came with cruel promptness.
So did Hercules. He iuvited liis victim to
take a plunge. The wretch wended his way
along the hall, descended a pair of stairsinto
a pool of water that reached to his chin, and
determined to drown himself. Then he
changed his mind, ascended the staii-s and
re-entered his berth. Hercules came for*
ward with a bottle of alcohol and compelled
each pore to take a drink. The pores had
been open all night, and this process was t o
close them for contact with the cold, cold
world.
IVhen the victim had been properly pickled
in alcohol Hercules said that he might have
his clothes back again. It is something of
a luxury to wear garments after such an ex
perience, and tho subject put on his clothes
with a sense of gratitude. Then he went
out and paid the master of the place ?2 50
for the luxury of being parboiled and rinsed.
Hercules got an extra quarter for his
matchless and muscular cruelty. He con
sented to show the stranger the chamber of
torture known as the needle bath. The vic
tim does penance in a closet, where water
from a thousand jets rushes out from silver
pipes to torture him. If, however, he really
wishes to punish himself, the victim goes be
low into a big marble sarcophagus that reeks
with steam. There he enjoys the sensation
experienced by a steamed clam. Itisthe Rus
sian bath. If he desires an oleaginous ex
perience, the subject takes a Roman bath
such as luxurious Julius Cassar used to enjoy,
and has himself lubricated with perfumed
vaseline.
At exactly 5 o’clock the Man from the
Country wandered out on Broadway, clothed
and in his riglitmind. Pugnacious sparrows
were chirping, and the early birds were
arguing over the abnormally previous and
unlucky worm. A horse in a delivery
wagon had balked at having to be about at
such an uncanny hour, aud his driver had
draped his head in a blanket to delude him
into the belief that the world was not such a
cruel place after all. Nat Goodwin, Thomas
P. Ochiltree, and a party of gentlemen had
returned from an evening’s performance,
and stood sniffing the salt air in front of
their hotel The Stranger entered an all
night restaurant at Thirtieth street and Sixth
avenue, and ordered some boiled eggs and a
cup of coffee. He was ravenously hungry
and ate with a sharp appetite. He felt as
bright as a newly hatched bird and had no
use for the lazy individual who invented
sleep. He went to the train, met his
friends, and then picked up the threads of
business.
A PENITENTIARY DOG.
How Ormsby Phillips Lodged a Runa
way Behind Prison Bars.
From the Pittsburg Evening Press.
“Yes, I knew the late Ormsby Phillips in
timately,” said a well-known physician,
who is a member of the Pittsburg Press
Club, as he sat in the club parlor the other
day. “He was a gentleman for whom
I always had the highest respect, and whose
memory I revere. But I want to tell you of
a little joke that he enjoyed in his quiet way
to the utmost.”
The doctor leaned back in his chair, and
his auditors, two or three newspaper men,
prepared to listen to a story.
“1 need not tell you, gentlemen,” com
menced the doctor, “that I am fond of thor
oughbred animals, particularly dogs. About
seven years ago I fought in Scotland a very
line Scotch terrier. He was of a pure
strain, and paid $l5O for him. Well, as
soon as I got home I presented him to my
wife, and she became very fond of him. The
dog thieves around town found that I had
a valuable animal, and we did not have him
at home more than one-fourth of the
time. It cost me more than his value in re
wards in the course of a few months. It
was amusing, too, to note his appearance
when returned by some thieving rascal who
ha<l found him running loose on the streets,
and had taken care of him for humanity’s
sake. Sometimes he came back all combed
and washed, with a neat blue ribbon around
his neck, his tail banged, and a general air
of over-fed embonpoint about him. On
other occasions he returned lean, hungry,
dirty, ragged and with a scrap of rope tied
to him. Between these two extremes the
poor dog ran tlio whole gamut, and came
back in every stage of dudism and rapscal
lionism.
“At last I got tired of this sort of thing,
and declared that if the dog was stolen
again I would shoot him when he came
back. The next day be disappeared, anil
this time I did not recover him. Several
weeks passed, when one day I met Mr.
Phillips on the street.
“ ‘Doctor,’ he said, ‘come over to the pen
itentiary to-day. I want to show you some
fun.’
“ ‘What is it?” I asked, ‘a hanging?’
“ ‘No, just a little fun. Come over this
afternoon, and I promise you some rare
sport.’
“Well, I went, and sure enough there was
goodsport. It was what they call ‘Ratday’
at the penitentiary, and there was a very
lively time on the greensward inside the
penitentiary walls. There were some half
dozen good dogs, each in the care of a life
convict, hunting rate out of every hole and
corner and killing them in the highest style
of the art. It is absolutely necessary to
disposed the rats wholesale occasionally or
the prison would be eaten up by them. The
dogs (lid noble work, and as you know 1 en
joy a little lively sport of any kind, the
sight pleased me very much. But some
thing besides the business-like way in which
the l-afo were disused of engaged my atten
tion. In one of the most active pups I rec
oniaed a certain Scotch terrier that I had
seen before, and 1 said, almost involuntarily,
to Ur. Phillips, who stood by my side:
“ ‘Why, that’s my Sam.’
“‘Your what T
“ ‘My dog that I lost about six weeks
“Mr. Phillips looked at me gravely, but I
thought with a twinkle in his eye.
“ ‘You are mistaken, doctor. That is my
dog/
“Well, I was a little suspicious, but still
when a gentleman In Mr. Phillips’ position
said it was not my dog I could only accept
the negative.”
“And how was it, doctor?” broke in one of
the 1 isteners. ■ ‘ Was it your dogf
“It was uml it wusn’t,” remarked the doc
tor with a hearty laugh. “You see, thedog
belonged to my wife, and when I declared
thut i would shoot it, sho gave it to Mr.
Phillips uud asked him to care care of it.
He didn’t know a safe place for it cx'pt the
penitentiary, so he informally committed it
for life, ana Sum is having a i-dly time of
it among the cross-barred gentry who form
the population of Riverside. Mr. Phillips
often used to laugh at me afterward be
cause I tried to claim his dog. I saw Sam
at; Riverside not long ago. lie seemed quite
resigned, and the officials say never trios to
escape.”

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, MAY 2, 1887.
LIKE THE FALL OF THE MANNA.
The Shower of Quails for the Mormons
and Its Probable Explanation.
From the New York Sun.
Salt Lake, April 10.—The stories about
quail which are coming from Nevada have
suggested to an old settlor here an explana
tion of a phenomenon which has all along
been cited as an evidence of the favor in
which the Mormons who made the journey
across the plains with Brigham were held
by the Almighty. The Mormon teachers
maintain that the experience of the faithful
on that well-known pilgrimage was more
marvelous than anything that occurred to
the children of Israel when they w andered
in the wilderness under the leadership of
Moses. By Christians it is generally ad
mitted that the Israelites were under the
guidance of the Lord; that they were fed
from heaven; that water gushed from the
rock to satisfy their thirst, and that but for
superhuman assistance they never would
have passed safely into the promised land.
Yet the Israelites were forty years in cross
ing a wilderness not so extensive and cer
tainly not more dangerous than tho wilder
ness which the Mormons crossed in a few
months. To all Mormons in this vicinity
the story of their forefathers’ pilgrimage is
as attractive as the Mosaic hegira was to
the ancient Hebrews; it is regarded by all
of them as a more certain illustration of
God's favor, and by many of them the mir
acles which are said to have been performed
for the benefit of Brigham’s followers are
looked upon as more wonderful than any
thing that took place in the days of Moses.
The only one of these supernatural stories
to which it is now necessary to refer is that
which relates how the Brigliamites were
fed when starvation seemed to be staring
them in the face.
“I have investigated that story,” the
Sun's informant observed, “and I am
bound to believe that some such incident
actually occurred. You cannot question
the evidence of a score of men and women
who, whatever their peculiarities may have
been, were not known as liars. Their word
was good. Soma of them were not polyga
mists. According to the narrative as I got
it, the Mormon caravan had run out of
meat of every description, and though
there was still some food on hand, it was
seen that unless a more fruitful country
was soon reached all must perish of hunger.
The wilderness yielded absolutely nothing.
There was no game. The water was mint
to drink: Hostile Indians swarmed on all
sides of them, and as day followed day and
the prospect became blacker and blacker
it was decided that on a certain day the
caravan should halt and pray to Almighty
God for relief.
“When that day dawned the wagons and
horses were left as they had been placed the
night before in a circle, and the pilgrims
assembled in the central space and prayed
fervently, both publicly and in silence, for
deliverance. Not a morsel of food passed
the mouth of any person, and from what I
can learn a more solemn fast and supplica
tion never occurred in this world. For six
or seven hours the services lasted. The sky
had lieeh cloudless during the forenoon, and
in the afternoon only a few white flakes
stood in the broad expanse of blue. Soon
after 3 o'clock a breeze sprang up, which
gradually increased to a gale, and a little
later the watchers, who hailed the first
change in the atmospheric conditions as
signs of a providential response, saw far
away on the horizon what appeared to be a
black cloud. As it grew in size all stood
watching it intently until, amid the shouts
and hullelujahs of the faithful, thousands of
quail, borne on the wind and dashed with
violence against the covered wagons, fell
exhausted or dead to the ground. The air
was black with them for a few minutes, and
so terrifying was the experience that men
and women fainted or went wild with joy.
After a little, such of the flock as had
escaped the wagons disappeared, and the
men and women who retained their pres
ence of mind began gathering the birds
which had come to them so strangely.
While they were engaged in this work and
were rejoicing over their good fortune it
grew suddenly dark, and before the last
bird had been picked up rain began to fall
in copious showers. Tne stock was greatly
refreshed, and much water was caught in
utensils which were made ready for the
purpose. These strange events had a pro
found effect upon everybody, strengthening
the faith of the wavering and imbuing all
with the conviction that they were indeed
the chosen of the Lord. After a day of
thanksgiving the caravan moved on, and in
a short time it came to fertile valleys and
running water, the last of the birds not
being consumed until other game was found
in plenty.
“Now, since I have read of the ‘quail
storms’ that thej’ have in Nevada, I have
come to the conclusion that this was one of
them, and that the only remarkable thing
about the matter was that it should have
occurred just as it did. 0f course to the
Brigliamites it was a miracle. They had
never had such an experience before, and I
don’t know as you can wonder much at
their belief concerning it, but just such
things are happening here in the West
almost every year. The quail lose their
way or they are driven by storms in direc
tions contrary to those which they in
stinctively seek, and when exhausted, or if
they come in contact with any obstruction,
they fall to the ground. Many of them are
dead, but if alive they may be easily caught.
Quail is plenty this year, and you will hear
of it ‘raining birds’ before long.”
A scientist, after a careful analy is of the
impression made upon the retina by dif
ferent degrees of light, concludes that, both
white ana black are colors, and both should
have a proper place upon the chromatic
scale.
