From the Chicago yews.
1 have just finished reading an article
en 'Curious Freaks of Curious People,”’
said a down-town real estate man as he laid
aside a copy of an English magazine, “but
jf (he writer would spend a few days in my
business he could find material for an inter
esting article on ’( unou.s Freaks of Com
mon People.' Scarcely a day passes but
some individual conies into my office who
betrays eccentricity of character and
actions. Very few people of sense move at
(his season of the year unless necessity com
pels them to do so. Asa consequent® the
variety of house-hunting freaks is not as
preat as in the spring, yet for extreme
jeculiarities this time of the year affords
the best opportunities to observe them.”
• Excuse me, but there is a lady outside
inquiring for you, sir,” interrupted the real
estate man’s red-bristled clerk, as he in
truded his nose and one eye into the private
office.
■Who is it? Miss S?” questioned the
portly manipulator of leases, with an anx
ious expression.
•Yes, sir.”
"Wait about two minutes and tell her I
am at leisure,” said the merchant, slowly,
after a short pause. Then, turning to his
first visitor, be remarked:
If you would like the opportunity to get
a few points on the subject of cranks here
is a good chance. This' lady has the misfor
tune to be afflicted with chronic dissatisfac
tion. She has hired houses through me for
ihe past ten years, and the longest she has
ever occupied any one abode, I believe, is
eight months. She is never suited and never
will be. Just take a chair at that desk be
hind the scroen and you can hear what she
says.”
A moment later a fashionably dressed
lady of perhaps 40 years in feature and 18
in attire entered the room.
“Good morning, colonel i” was her open
ing remark, and without waiting for a re
turn of the greeting she rattled on: “I am
so glad to find you in; was dreadfully wor
ried for fear you should be absent,” and she
fitted herself snugly into the angles of a
sedan chair. “I want another house, and I
want it immediately. You know what I
need. Colonel, so it is unnecessary for me to
explain. The house you secured for me is
overrun with roaches, the furnace is out of
repair, it is too far from the horse cars, and
in a dreadfully unfashionable neighborhood.
1 have nearly frozen for four weeks, now,
and my month is up Tuesday. I must have
another house by then. I have done noth
ing but move, move, move for years, and I
have not found a house worth living in yet.
I am not at all particular, as you know,
only I will not pay at all exorbitant rates or
put up with anything other than all the
latest modern conveniences or live in any
but an elite neighborhood, and—oh, I for
got ; this time be careful there are no dogs
next door. My mastiff is under the doctors
care through Mrs. Moncton’s little, insig
nificant three-pound black-and-tan terrier
having bitten him in the nose. That’s all,
only remember I want the bouse by
Tuesday. Good morping. Colonel.”
And she arose from her chair with a snap,
bobbed her head mechanically at the real
estate man, and strode from the office with
a grenadier gait ail out of keeping with her
girlish costume.
“Whew!” softly remarked the Colonel,
after the door had closed on his caller.
“How’s that for a breeze? That woman
is rich and can easily afford to build one of
the finest residences in the land, but she
wouldn’t be satisfied with the White House.
She is not muoh trouble, though, compared
witn some of my queer customers. Only
yesterday a young woman came in the
office and said her mother wanted to hire a
house. I asked her about what rent she
wished to pay, in what locality she wanted
the house, how many fooms she needed, and
several very common questions usually
asked, and the girl said she didn’t know
anything about it. Perhaps I had better
let her have the keys of all the houses I had
to let and her mother oould take her pick.
That is not an uncommon suggestion of in
experienced house-hunters.”
The Colonel paused for breath. “You
would not think,” he continued, ‘ that there
are a goodly number of people living in very
fine houses in the most aristocratic locali
ties, and they do not pay a cent’s worth of
rent. I could point out "a dozen residences
that I have tried from one month to one
year to rent, and the owners require such a
large price that it is next to impossible.
Asa house is always in better condition to
let and more attractive to the eye while
occupied—for the occupants, unless un
usually slovenly, are bound to keep it swept
clean and passably tidy—l have found .t
good policy to a ilow persons to occupy
them until such time as they could %
rented. Some of this class of people never
think of paying rent. When the
house in which they have lived
acquires a tenant they boldly go the
rounds of the real estate men, and ask for
the chance to occupy a house in return for
keeping it in order. These are professionals
of one sort. Another class, well known in
the business, are professional beats. They
obtain keys to a house and keep them for
several days, during which they live in the
house. By the time they return the keys
' hov have obtained the keys to some other
residence, where they practice the same
f-eheme. They never rent unless positively
forced to do so. They have an idea that
they are cunning and that their practices
not known, but they are most of them
like old landmarks anil there is seldom a
new face appeal's among them. They
think they are beating us, yet in reality tb**y
save us the trouble and cost of cleaning
houses that are left in a disorderly condi
tion, for they naturally select the most, at
tractive apartments to clean for themselves,
and therefore leave the house in a more pre
sentable condition than when they flint en
ter it. Whatever they sleep on in an emp
ty house is introduced after dark, then they
remove it from their last camping place.
To some whom we are satisfied are honest
" ,R give the keys of furnished houses, and
v cry seldom has anything been appropriated
by them. It is a queer way to live. I
think I would rather live in a hovel, if it
"as my own. Such a life is too near akin
to that of a tramp.”
Pope Leo’s Income.
From (he Pall Mall Gazette.
A foreign diplomatist accredited to Home
gives the following account of the Pope's
revenue and of the way in which it is spoilt,
h is derived from three sources. 1. The
interest of an enormi us sum left by Pio
'ono to the pontifical treasury and invested
"t the English public funds. This interest
ri mounts to about. 5,000,000 lire, or about
f!25,000. Leo XIII. is a great speculator,
;i nd subscribes to the Italia i loans in order
t" sell when the valu j rises and Invest the
1 rofits in the English consolidated fund.
- The proceeds of Peter’s Pence. This
'ranch of the revenue has suffered
greatly in recent years, but, neverthe
Jess, the average amounts to about
‘ .<IOO,OOO lire, or about. £BB.OOO. These two
ninis. which represent, £‘..’08,000 per annum,
constitute the ordinary income of his holi-
It is distributed by the Chamherlam
'"'long the Cardinals residing in Home—
nis-'Ut £1,050 per annum for each Cardinal
among the prelates of the Papal Court,
the Secretaries, the nuncios, the guards of
'he Pontiff’s body, etc. 3. The extraordi
nary part of the Pupal revenue is derived
'[•on] the receipts of the Apostolic Chancery.
I lie items include the sums rewived from
iitlcs of nobility, Papal decorations, bene
dictions m the articles of death, privileges
f| t the altar, private chapels, dispensations,
ecclesiastical titles, and inuny other tilings,
i hi-, department yields about 0,5000,000 Hi o,
" r £1(H,000, per annum. Tho whole annual
income of Leo XIII , therefore reaches the
‘‘normous sum of about £300,000.

A CAR DRIVES EXPLOIT.
He Passed Himself ff as a Cattle King
and Married St. Joe Belle,
j Sr. Louts, Oct. 18. A St. Joseph special
I to the Globe- DemocHt tells the following
j romantic story: A jtr aud a half ago a
j handsome, well-dreed stranger, about 35
! years of age, withthc appearance of a
polished gentleman, id. to all appearances,
(he pocket-boo): of ;millionaire, landed in
the city, hailing fan Texas. He repre
sented himself as ccattle king, and had
maps upon which tupointed out the exact
location and oxtenlof his ranches. The
man gave his names Henry W. Meyers.
He gave opera parts, wine suppers, etc.,
and was an hoiiored.ucst in the mansions
of St. Joseph’s first unities.
Meyers was in theity over six months,
and while here expttded at least $2,500 in
social pleasure. p met among other
charming young klies one who was the
belle of the circle i which she moved. He
fell desperately inlove with her and she
with him. Asa relit they were engaged,
and in a month ma'ied. After living with
his young wife twoveeks Meyers suddenly
disappeared and its not been seen in the
city since. He waxnourriod as dead, and
it was supposed soie one had murdered him
and robbed him fo the immense sums of
money he was popiarly supposed to carry
ou his person. Th wife was distracted, and
the local press a the time contained de
scriptions of the nut and the offers of large
rewards for the drovery of his body.
The relatives ofthe wife, after the first
burst of excitemet was over, went to Texas
in search of this inn’s property, thinking
some clew could b discovered there. They
did not succeed i this, but did learn that
no such man hd ever owned a foot of
ground or a sing) hoof in Texas. A little
further investigyion revealed that Meyers
was beyond quesion a scoundrel and adven
turer. They lturned home with their
news, but kept, ilsacredlv within the bosom
of the injured faiily. 'the present week a
number of St. kisoph people attended the
Kansas City festvities, and when returning
from the Priest of Pallas ball, Thursday
night, two of thm thought they recognized
the cab-driver. Suddenly it dawned upon
them that be wg Meyers. The recognition
seemed to be mitual, for Meyers hailed a
passing cabmauexchanged places with him,
and was seen no nore. Before going home,
the St. Joseph gentiemeii went to the
Landis Cab Conpany, where Meyers was
employed, and tried to see him, but he had
not been at the tarn siace the night before,
and no one knew when he was.
The announcement o! what had been seen
in Kansas City created a wonderful excite
ment when told here,and the poor wife,
who has a child about two months old, Is
well nigh heart-broken, It has been learned
that Meyers had been in Texas in the ca
pacity of bookkeeper for a prominent ranch
man, and that is how le came to know so
much about that State. It was also learned
that he had a wife and three children in
Texas, whom he deserted before coming to
St. Joe. Meyers, it sen®, is heavily in
debt in St. Joe, owing bills to the amount
of over $1,500.
COFFINS MADS OF PAPER.
Some Ingenious Mathods By Which
Paper is Being Utilized.
From a Mew Y<rk Exchange.
“Here is a very neat style of coffin,” re
marked a manufacturer of such articles.
“It is the latest thing out, and is really quite
popular. ”
The coffin did not seem to be different
from the ordinary kind of casket. It was
plain in style, and finished in rosewood,
beautifully marked. The handles were of
solid silver, and the inside was handsomely
covered with cushioned trimming of white
silk, neatly quilted. It was evidently a
coffin that any modest man of simple
taste could offer no objection to being
buried in.” .
“What do you think of it?”
“It is a very neat sort of a coffin, but I
don’t see anything remarkable about it.”
“Lift one end of it.”
The reporter arched his neck, grasped the
handles firmly, and put his strength into a
great lift. The casket rose as though it
were made of painted air so light was it,
and the experimenter narrowly escaped fall
ing on his back.
“It feels as though it were made of paper.
How do you make them so light!”
“It is made of paper,” answered the man
ufacturer, “compressed paper. It is cheaper
than wood, can be pressed into shape, is
more durable, and can be made much more
quickly and easily. The veneering is of
another piece of paper, very thin, which is
painted to resemble wood, by machinery.
When the coffin is put together it is var
nished ar.d trimmed and then it i$ ready for
occupancy.
“How did you happen to invent it?”
“I didn’t invent it, but aimost anyone
ought to have done so. Paper has been used
for car wheels for years past. Doors are
now made of the same substance. Two
thick paper hoards, stamped and molded
into panels and glazed together with glue
and potash, and then rolled through heavy
rollers, are coming into use. Thoy are
better than wood, in that they will not
shrink, swell, crack or warp. They are
made water-proof with a mixture.
“Boats are also made of paper,” con
tinued the manufacturer; “and for certain
kinds of racing they are better even than
the ordinary kinds of wood, and far
cheaper ”
“You will soon make your whole coffin
out of paper!” suggested the reporter.
“We are not far away from that now,”
replied the maker. “They are making
window-glass from linen or cotton, modified
by chemical action. When the glass is
made it is dipped in a preparation of cam
phor and alcohol, which gives it the char
acter of parchment. It can then be molded
and cut into transparent sheets that are re
markably tough, and can stnnd double the
strain of the ordinary glass. Yes, sir, it
will not be long before not only coffins for
the dead but the houses for the living can
be made from the foundation to the roof en
tirely out of paper. Who says we are not
an inventive race?”
A Freak of Nature.
From the Rome Tribune.
Hines M. Smith has brought to Rome and
placed ou exhibition at different storehouses
pieces of a pine stump that has been turned
into iron ore.
The stump was discovered by his hands
digging ore. and part of it was broken off
by blasting.
Tne formation is an exceedingly curious
and rare one. F. C. Hand, a well known
civil engineer, who is an expert, in mineral
matters, informed a reporter that it was
properly a “substitution” of wood for iron
ore. It cannot be called a petrification.
'The stump is perfect in arrangement of
fibres and lrk ol the pine tree. Even
resin streaks are recognizable. The ore is
brown hematite of flne quality, but the
change is the most wonderful part of the
affair: wood most generally turning into a
silicate or limestone.
The stump was dug up at the ore beds in
charge of H. M. Smith just below Cave
Spring. _ _ _
