horrible massacre. Th*y just wanted to
say they had been on the top* of those huh
peaks. And shall we fear to go out for the
ascent of the eternal hills which star: 1.000
miles beycni where stop the highest peaks
of the Alps, and when in that ascent there
is no peril? A man doomed tod.e
the scaffold, and said in joy: “X w, i >
ten minutes I will knew the great see.et.”
One minute after the vita! fuuct.ons c ase i,
the little child that died last night k lew
more than Paul himself bef re he died.
Friends, the exit from this world, or death,
if you p.ease to call it. to the Christian is
glorious explanation. It is demonstration.
It is illumination. It is sunburst. It is te
opening of all the windows. It is shutting
up the catechism of doubt, and the unroll
ing of all the scrolls of positive an 1 accu
rate information. Instead of standing
the fo t of the ladder and looking up, it is
standing at the top of the ladder ana look
ing down. It is the last mystery taken out
of botany and geoiogy and astron ouy and
theology. Ob, will it not be grand to have
all questions answered! The perpetually re
curring interrogation point changed for
the mark of exclamation. AU riddles
solved. Who will fear to go out on that
discovery, when all the questions
are to be decided which we have
been discussing all our lives? Who
shall not clap his hands in the
anticipation of tnat blessed country, if it be
no better than through boly curiosity? As
this Paul of my text did not suppress his
curiosiiy, we need not suppress ours. Yes, I
have an unlimited curiosity about all
religious things, and as this city of Rome
was so intimately connected with apostolic
times, the incidents of which emphasize
and explain and augment tne ennstian
religion, you will not take it as an evidence
of a prying spirit, but as the outburstiug of
a Christian curiosity when I say I must also
see Rome.
Our desire to visit this city is also intensi
fied by the fact that we want to be con
firmed in the feeling that human life is
brief, but its work lasts for centuries, in
deed forever. Therefore show us the an
tiquities of old Rome, about which we have
been reading for a iif-time, but nave never
seen. In our beloved America we have no
antiquities. A church eighty years old
overawes us with its age. We have in
America some cathedrals hundreds and
thousands of years old, but they are in
Yellowstone Park, or California
canyon, and their architecture and
masonry were by the omnipotent Cod.
We want to see the buildings, or ruins of
old buildings, that were erected hundreds
aad thousands of years ago by human hands.
They lived forty or seventy years, but the
arches they lifted, the paintings they pen
ciled, the sculpture they chiseled, the roads
they laid out, I understand, are yet to be
seen, and we want you to show them to us.
I can hardly wait until Monday morning.
I must also see Rome. We want to be
impressed with the fact that what
men do on a small scale or large scale
lasts a thousand years, lasts forever, that
we build for eternity and that we do so in a
very short space of time. God is the only
old living presence. But it is an old age
without any of tne infirmities or limitation*
of old age. There is a pas-age of scripture
which speaks of the birth of the mountains,
for there wa a time when the Andes were
born, and the Pyrenees were born, and the
Sierra Nevadas were born, but before the
birth of those mountains, the Bible tells
us, God was bora, aye, was never born at
all, because he always existed. Psalm
xc., 2: “Before the mountains were
brought forth, or even thou hadst formed
the earth and the world, even from ever
lasting to everlasting thou art God. ” How
short is human life, what antiquity at
taches to its worth! How everlasting is
God 1 Show us the antiquities, the things
that w. re old when America was discov
ered, old when Paul went up and down
the e streets sight-seeing, old when Christ
was born. I mu-t, I must also see Rome!
Anotner r jason for our visit to this city
is that we want to see the places where the
mightiest inteilec sand the greatest natures
wrought for our Christian religion. We
have been old in America by some people
of sw Jlen heads that the Christian religion
is a pusillanimous thing, good for children
under 7 y ear s oi age and small brai ie 1 peo
ple, but not for the intell gent and swarthy
minded. We have heard of your Constan
tine the mighty, who pointed his army to the
cross,saying: “By thisconquer.” If there be
anyth ng here {connected with his reign or
his mii.tary history, show it to us. The
mightiest intellect of the ages was the au
thor of my text, and, if for the Christian
relig.oa he was willing to labor and suffer
and die, there must be something exahed
and sublime and tremend urin it; audshow
me every place he visited, and snow me if
yon can where he was tried, and which of
your roads leads out to Ostia, that I may
see where he went out to die. W’e expect
before we finish this journey to see Lake
Galilee and the places where Simon Peier
and Andrew fished, and perhaps wo
may drop a net or a hook and line into
those waters ourselve , but when following
the track of those lesser apostles I will
learn quite another lessen. I w ant while in
this city of Rome to study the religion of
the brainiest of the apostles. I want to
follow, as far as we can trace it, the track
of this great intellect of my text who
wanted to see Rome also. He was a
logician, he was a metapnysician, he was
an all-conquering orator, ho was a poet of
the highest type. He had a uature that
could swamp the leading men of his own
day, and, hurled against the Sanhe
drim, he made it tremble. He learned
all be could get in the school of his
native village, then he had gone to a
higher school, and there had mastered
the Greek and the Hebrew and perfected
himself in belles letters, until, in after
years, he astounded the Cretans, and the
Corinthian*, and tne Athenians, by quota
tions from their own authors. 1 have never
found anything in Carlyle, or Goethe, or
Herbert Spencer th t could comp ire in
strength or beauty w ith Paul’s epistles. I
do not think there is anvtning in the writ
ings of Sir William Hamilton that shows
such mental discipline as you find in Paul’s
argument about justification and resurrec
tion. I have not found anything in Milton
finer in the way of imagina ion than I can
find in Paul’s illustrations drawn from the
amphitheater. There was nothing iu
Robert Emmet pleading for his life, dr in
Edmund Burke arraigning Warren Hast
ings in Westminster hall, that compared
with the scene of the court room when, be
fore robed officials, Paul bowed and began
his speech, saylug: “I think myself happy,
King Agrippa, because I shail answer for
myself tuis day.” I repeat, that a religion
that can capture a man like that must bavo
some power in it. It is time our wisoacros
stopped talking as though all the braiu of
the world were opposed to Christianity.
Where Paul leads, we can afford; o
follow. lam glad to know that Christ has,
in the different ages of the world, bad in
his discipleship a Mozart and a Handel in
music; a Raphael and a Reynolds in paint
ing; an Atige.o and a Cauova in sculpture;
a Rusk and a Harvey in medicine; a
Grotius and a Washington iu statesman
ship ; a Blackstone, a Marshall aud a Kent
iu the law; and the time will cime when
the religion of Christ will conquer all tho
observatories and universities, and philos
ophy will, through her telescope, behold
the morning star of Jesus, aud in her labo
ratory see that “all things wot k together for
good,” and with her geological hammer dis
cc-r the “Rock of Ages.” Oh, instead of
cowering and shivering when the skeptic
stands before us, and talks cf religion as
though it were a pu-illammous thing—in
stead of that, let us take out our Now
Testameut and read tho story of Paul at
Rome, or come and see this city for our
selves, an i learn tuat it could have been no
weak gospel that actuated such a man, but
that it is an all conquering gospel. Aye!
for all ages the power of God and the wis
dom of God unto salvation.
Men, brethren and lathors! I thank you
for this opportunity of preaching the g spol
to you that are at Rome also. The churches
of America salute you. Upon you who are
like us, strangers in Rome, I pray the pro
tecting and journeying care of God. Upon
you wbo are resident here, I pray grace.

A BRIDE AT THIRTEEN.
MUton Boswell Marries His Sweet
heart's Younar sister.
Washington - , Nov. 9.—Live is a queer
thing. Milton B swell, 27 years old, who
has teen courting a young lady 23 years
old, has been married to his sweetheart’s
little 13-year- Id sister. About a year ago
he fell in love with a M ss Tennyson of
South Washington, aid has been paying
her attentions since. Miss Tennyson is a
charming young lady, 23 vears old. and is
graced with a handsome form and a very
pretty face. Mr. B swell became so deeply
In love with her toat he “popped" the ques
t.on one night last spring, and a day was
set for the marriave. which was to take
place du lag the a o ith of nest January.
Bosweil hai beeu visiting the house more
frequently of laie toan he formerly did. and
he was generally received by a 13-year-old
sister of Miss Tennyson. Boswell aud Miss
Tennyson had a dispute over some trifling
matter, but it was thought that the natter
was settled, as his visits became more and
more frequent. There was, however,
another attraction at the home of the Ten
nvsons for him, and 'hat attraction was the
13-year-old s.ster. Boswell often left his
otfioe in the afternoon, when school was
dismissed, and acted as escort to Miss
Msbel, who was as deeply in love with Bos
well as he was with her. The elder sister
never suspected thathe was being slowly
but surely “cut out,” as the school girls
trm it.
Boswell invested a portion of his salary,
in a brand new black Prince Albert suit of
diagonal goods last Thursday night and
then made his way to the home of the girl
iu South Washington. It must have been
a prearranged affair, as young Mabel was
at the gate waiting for him. Together
they boarded a Seventh stre?t car aid
went south as far as M street, where one of
ths Anacoe'ia cars was standing. After
about an hour and a half of painful sus
pense, the car slowly moved off of the turn
table and went as far as Four-aud-a-Half
and M streets, when the car ran off the
tract.
In another hour they were on their way
again, caatting gayly aad calling each
other pet names, much to the amusement
cf the passengers in the car. At last Ana
eostia was reached, and going t > the resi
dence of John L. Poates, on Polk street,
they ate supper, aud Rev. George Bowman
was called in. As Boswell had the license,
and the required number of witnesses were
present, the knot was tied, aud the newly
made Mr. aud Mrs. Boswell went to the
home of the bride’s parents, but Mr. Tenny
son declined to receive them.
CANNIBALISM OF TO-DAY.
Human Flesh Still Eaten in Some of
the South Pacific Islands.
From the New York Herald.
If Fiji, long viewed as the home of can
nibalism, has reformed no such story can be
told of the long chain of islands which
stretch 1,(H)0 miles off the Australian coast
all the way between New (Jalodouia aud
New Guinea. In the Western Pacific
cannibalism w the accepted rule of life to
which all gladly conform, and the trader
and the explorer, whose business and pleas
ure call them to these shores, soon become
hardened, and learn to view these wild re
pasts witn unconcern and indifference. It
is no exaggeration to -ay that in all the
banks, tne New Hebrides, the Santa Cruz
and tho Sal an ms groups of islands there is
not a single village which does not have
its town ovens for the cooking of tho dead.
The settlements of the savages are uni
formly in the bight of little bays which
cut up the coast hue of these jagged peaks
of volcanic nAk ad rise shoor from a ring
of gleaming coraL Here he finds fresh
water and a space on which to grow his
cocoanuts, aud the bay supplies him with
fish. Within the bay he is'safe. Fighting
is his rule of life, his delight if he only can
get sufficiently long odds iu his favor. The
villagers in tho bays next him are his sworn
foes—literally “his meat,” as he is theirs,
according to the varying elfhnees of cease
less warfare.
OFF OX A HUNT FOR HUMAN GAME.
By daybreak the village fleet of war
canoes puts out to sea. With all the secrecy
.that savage craft can compass, the fleet
steers into tho bay where lies the village to
be attacked. Steadily they march upon the
village, in the hope of catching sleepers un
awares. The attack is made if the chance
proves favorable. Deadly work is done; the
club spares none within its reach, and
women and children and the aged share the
death of the warriors. The brush is thor
oughly beaten for fugitives, and the village
green is heaped with the bodies of its
former villagers, stacked as wood is corded.
The daybreak marauders have won their
victory; they have exterminated their
enemy, and the cords of bodies must be
moved. The fleets of canoes are brought to
the beach; to the stern of each is made fast
a tow of corpses fastened by ropes about
their necks. No longer by stealth, but by
victorious shouts aud gleeful songs the
homeward voyuge is made. Tho sonorous
ringing of monster conchs gives warning of
their appro ch, and as t ey open up to view
the thatched houses of their village the
chorus of manly voices carries the news,
“We have killed, we have killed.”
“How many?” is the questioning shout
that echoes from the shore.
Then over tho wat r rings out the number
of the slain, and in proportion as it is large
so is the joy of those w ithin the village.
With eager haste the bodies are hauled
ashore out of the reach of sharks The
women, both old and youug, tail on to the
ropes about the neck of each dead enemy
and prospective meat. Some old crone sets
the time, and with a wild chorus these
women drag body after tody to the village
green over the land and the rough paths.
And this is the bokola song, the chorus of
dead bodies on their way to be cooked;
A-ba-babale,
A-ba-bale,
* Bababo, babahe,
A a, a, a, a—a!
It’s a chorus that can be beard for miles
miles when shrilied by scores of high
pitched voices of lusty women. Ask them
what it means and they can give no expla
nation. It is a tradition, it has been handed
do wn from tho fathers, it has been in use al
ways.
THE VILLAGE BARBACUE.
The head tabu man now comes upon the
scene in all his glory, usually with a light,
conical mask upon liis head and a dress of
colored leaves of the fragrant pandauus.
He axatnmes the bodies lai 1 out before him
and when he recognizes the form of so mi
noted foe his jubilations ring from toe
shore to tne orange-clad hills above. His
inspection c included and his pick made of
the body which shall fall to the lot of his
palate, already tickled in anticipation of
the feast, the butchers come on and mike
short work of the meat before them. Dif
ferent islands have their several customs of
butchery. Some carve the meat into joints
before cooking it, but Malayta uas the full
est ceremony in this matter and may be
taken as fairly descriptive of the rest.
W hile the butchers are at their task of
this evisceration and the hogs ashore and
the shark; in the shall jws are snarling and
fighting over their food, ihe women are pre
paring the ovens for this feast, where the
fune al bak and meats are at the same time as
the f unen Is themselves.

, this one feast, but pits which date back for
ge erations taCthe time when tha first canoe

fi e of dried branches. As this kindling
turns down into a bed of live coa’s, hails
of cocoanuts and knots of iron wood are
heaped upon them to make the fire ’ Otter
without flame or smoke, and scones are
heated on these coals jus: at the cn bles e

chest and belly is lined with the hr a t suc
culent leaves of the taro, within are t

among tnem. Meanwh.ie the pit has been
cleared of all its coats, which burn upon its
brink, a glowing mass of incandescence.
Deft han is, trained by long practice, wrap
'he body in ba- a-ia leaves and bind it from
head to foot with long tough paoda ius
leaves. A bed of sand is screen three
inches thick upon the vitrified cobbles that
line the oven, the body is laid upon this and
covered with sand, the coals are raked back
over it, soil is thrown over all and the first
oven stands a miniature cone puffing out
volcanic odors of baking meat. As for the
tabu man, so for tho chief and warriors in
order, the bodies are dressed and the ovens
charged.
RECIPE FOR COOKING “LONG PIG.”
All must be eaten fresh and tough with
the rigor mortis or not at all. The cooks
from time to time drive bamboo canes into
the steaming heaps to judge of the pr gross
of tbeir cookery. Two hours go by, the
u-ual time, and the cooks at last ru.se a
shout that their work is done. The earth
and smoulderi g embers are thrown out
from the tabu man’s oven and the body,
steaming in its brown envelo;e of leaves, is
laid open to view. Gently it is raised upon
a hurdle of reeds and canes, the wrappings
are cut off exposing the cri p arid brown
outside pieces of the meat. Lucky the rnan
whose victim has been chosen bv the tibu
man, for great is now his honor. 'The bear
ers lift th3 body on its hurdle to their
shoulders, the tabu man goes before, the
lucky fighter dances after in all his fight
ing gear. Around the green the toothsome
procession is made. t
This ceremony ended, the chief's oven is
opened and his food placed before him.
The other ovens are opened with a hurried
rush of women and children, all content to
dig away the earth and hot stones for the
eager delight of uncovering tho juicy
roast. They feed in messes in an orderly
enough fashion, and there is no scene of
rending the flesh and gnawing the bone,
such as the imagination pictures a cannibal
repast.
The flesh is crips and white in appearance,
something midway between veal and pork,
with sufficient resemblance to the lat
ter to justify its almost universal euphem
ism of “long pig,” or in some few cases,
“long dog.” The bodies are carved by
splints of silvered bamboo, which replaco
knives in the habits of these people.
sJKome ceremony is observed in the distri
bution of the bodies which are cooked for
the chief and the tibu. Each reserves for
himself certain parts which are supposed to
endow him with the manhood and strength
of the original owner, aud m the main these
parts are tabu to women. The rest of the
body is cut up and distributed by the mili
tary and superstitious heads of the commu
nity to warriors whom they particularly de
sire to honor. There is in the members of
the body no apparent distinction, and indij
vidial a id gastronomic taste alone governs
the distribution. Tlie thighs are naturally
most sought after, then the ribs and next
the upper arms; the skins and forearms are
less considered, and after these joints are
cut off there is little choice iu the re
mainder. The fingers and toes are always
claimed by the children as delicacies, and
the women always get the heads, hands and
feet. The feast ends when the last of the
meat is eaten, and the village returns to its
usual diet.
WHITE MEN’S FLESH NOT PREFERRED.
What chance does a white man have of
being eaten in the Western Pacific?
An excellent one indeed. Not that tha
people will view him primarily as an article
of diet and rush wildly to put him to use in
that particular, but they will incline to kill
him as an intruder and dangerous to then
peace, and once killed ho will certainly go
to pot in its most restricted sense.
Gourmands profess not to like the white
man’s flesh es well as that of the native,
and found their objection upon his salti
ness. The islanders are learning that the
murder of a white is likely to bring retribu
tion in its train, and so refrain from molest
ing him without cause, but trifles may seem
to them good cause, aud the white man is
clubbed and eaten.
MAN-EATING TIGERS.
Fact3 About Them Accumulated in
India.
At the lost meeting of the Bombay
Natural History Society, Mr. Gilbert, a
well-known shikaree, read a paper on man
eating tigers, of which a brief report is
given in the London Times. He says that
the popular idea of the man-eater is wholly
incorrect. Ho is commonly supposed to be
“an old brute, more often decrepit than
otherwise, perhaps lamed from some former
wound, with his teeth broken and his skin
always mangy, unable from his infirmities
to kill game, but obliged to conceal himself
near a village path, and then to pounce on
some soliiary human being and devour
him, never attacking when there are more
than two or three persons together, and
always displaying great cunning.-’
Sir William'Hunter takes this view, and
describes the man-eater as generally an old
beast disabled from overtaking his usual
prey, aud who seems to accumulate his tale
of victims in sheer cruelty rather than for
food. Sir William Hunter mentions a man
eater who was known to have killed 108
people iu three years, and anothor which
killed an average of eighty persons a year
for the same period. A third caused thir
teen villages to be abandoned and 25J square
miles of land to be thrown out of cultiva
tion. A fourth killed 127 persons in a year
and stopped a public road for many weeks.
Mr. Gilbert, however, says that those
views as to the man-eater are quite erro
neous. They are not different from the
ordinary tiger, which lives on ga me and
bullocks, but he does not say why they be
come inan-eaters. Sir Joseph Fayrer
suggests that it is by the accident of having
once tasted human flash and then finding all
other flesh insipid.
Mr. Gilbert mentions certain famous man
eaters. One, a tigress in the Nagpur dis
trict, has a fondness for the employes of the
Bengal-Nagpur railway, frequents a tract
ot country only about nine square miles in
area, and is possessed of extraordinary cun
ning and audacity. This year, up to June,
she had killed seven people, besides wound
ing others. She lives in a rocky and pre
cipitous spur, in which there is a heavy
bamboo aud other jungle. Several springs
of water rise at the foot of the scarps,
and there is a cave which shoes
many signs of being used by her
and her family. A big stone just
outside the entrance is scored deep
and long with many scratches of their
claws. In February last,|iu broad baylight,
she carried off one of n gang of permanent
way men from under the eyes of his com
panions. She has been shot at many times
and her cubs killed, but she has get off
scatheless. Sometimes the man-eater
traverses very long distances. Thus tie
Jaun ar man-eater, which was killed !y an
officer of the forts department, after kill
i g a man in ODe place, would kill another
twe ty miles off .he nxt night. This one,
alto a tigies-, frequented a belt of the
Himalayas, 5,000 to 10,000 feet high, and
was oventually killed 8,01)0 feet above Hie
sea. But pone of the man-eaters recorde 1
by Mr. Oiibert were decrepit or worn out.
T uey were strong, handsome boasts in their
prime.

1 8500 COITISE
By R. W. Bboppell, Architect.
(Copyright hy the Author.}
A correlative of the petition “Give me
neither poverty nor riches” might read
give me not a large mansion but a small
cottage in which to dwell.
Tho mansion costs a great sum, so great
indeed that a good man may well be dis
turbed sometimes while viewing his super
fluous luxuries by the reflection that there
are thousands of his fellow creatures who
are not provided with the barest necessities
of life. The cottage is of low cost, leaving
the conscience clear and the heart merry.
The mansion involves the wearisome labor
of superintending servants; the cottage im
poses the easy tasks of simple housework.
The mansion requires workmen to make re
pairs; the cottage may be easily watched
and promptly repaired—“a stitch in time”
—by tho owner. The owner of a mansion
m ist have a large income; the owner of a
cottage and a fertile acre or two is practi
cally independent, the labor of the hands
providing fruit, vege.ables, poultry, etc.,
sufficient for his needs.
A touching pictu e is seen, suggestive of
nobility of character, when an elderly
couple resume the simple cottage life of their
early wedded years. Tneir lives have been
too unse.fLh to permit the acquisition of
wealth. They educated their children and
started them inpr sperouscareers, and now
they have planned t > be self-supporting to
the end. The sons and daughters, however
honored and pros erous, who do not kiss
the labor-browned hands of such parents
are not worthy of the name they bear.
PERSPECTIVE VIEW.
Following will be found a brief de
scription of the design illustrating this
article:
Size of Structure.—Width, 23 feet; depth,
36 feet 6 inches.
Materials for Ex'orior. Foundations,
posts or piers; side wall and roof, shingles.
Hight of Story.—Ten feet.
Interior Finish.—Smoothed and cham
fered studding and celing joists to be left
exposed. Walls between studding and ceil
ing joists to t e paperel. Flooring and all
trim of windows and doors to be of white
pine or other soft wood. All doors and
sashes of manufactured stock sizes. The
windows that command fi e views should
be glazed with plate glass; all other win
dows with double thick glass. All interior
woodwork to bo varnished, showing natural
colors.
Exterior Colors.—All side shingling,
cream; all trim, mouldings and veranda
rails, dark red; veranda posts and balusters,
cream; outside blinds and doors, roof aud
chimneys, dark red; underside of roof over
hang, cream; porch floor and ceiling oiled,
showing natural color of wood.

Accommodations. —All of the rooms are
shown by the floor plan. The attic is
floored and is reached by a step-ladder. No
cellar is provided, as this cottage, built as
described, is intended for summer occu
fiancy only. To fit it for winter use a cel
ar under the whole house should be built
at an additional cost of about $209; and the
interior walls of the cottage should be
plastered at an additional cost of $75.
Special Features. —The large bays may
be said to give character to the exterior of
this design as well as to provide attractive
features within. With cushions provided
for the bay window seats, the sitting room
is indeed a comfortable place. The over
hanging roof gives an appearance of large
size. The chimneys (one over the kitchen
and one over the sitting room) are simple
aud inexpensive but substantial, built of
terracotta resting on the ceiling joists.
Cost.—ln all localities where the prices
for labor and materials are about the same
as those of New York city, SSOO.
OUT OF THE COFFIN.
A Supposed Corpse Sows Signs of
.Life— A Timely Discovery.
Vincennes, Ind., Nov. 7.—Mrs. So
pbrcna Drain apparently died of dropsy on
the 6th last., and her remains were pre
pared for burial. All day yesterday the
corpse lay on the cooling board, and last
night was placed in the coffin. When
Funeral Director Dexter Gardiuer, who has
been in the undertaking business for thirty
years, went to the house this morning to
make the final preparations for burial, he
found unmistakable signs of life.
The husband of the woman announced
that ihe funeral would be postponed. The
undertaker, after pinching the nose, cheeks
and forehead of the supposed dead and ex
amining the finger-nails, pronounced her
alive, in a trance. She was taken from the
coffin and placed in bed. After having lain
in a cold room all night her face was roseate
and her whole frame was limber.
There was nothing to indicate that she
was inanimate. Hours passed aud still the
symptoms of life were there. Her folks
told the undertaker this morning that he
need not return and replace her in the coffin
until sent for: that they were satisfied she
was alive, and until convinced otherwise
they would not require his services.
At a late hour this eveni ig Mr. (ia x'i er
had not been sent for. He says the case is
a peculiar one, and the second of the kind
to come under his observation.

A SAD FALL FROM GRACE.
Sam Jones' Ex-Private Secretary In
Jail for Robbing a Railroad Company.
Sacramento, Cal., Nov. 7.—Frank L.
Lie, who accompanied Sara Jones, the re
vivalist, to this city last winter as his pri
vate secretary, is now locked up in the city
prison on a charge of burglary. On Tues
day be introduced himself to Ticket Agent
Thompson, at the Souujern Pacific Com
p my s office, as the nephew of a prominent
ra .road official, and was invited into the
office. While the agent was not looking,
L*e stole a quantity of railroad tickets ana
left on the east-bound train. Ho was cap
tured at Colfax and brought Lack from
mat place this morning.
The tickets were found in Lee’s possession,
and also a letter of introduction, to which
he had forged the name of E. B. 'Vi Is,
managing editor of tne Record-Union.
The letter was written on tViliis’ typewrit
ing machine, which he had permitted Lee
to use. •
What Mr. Cleveland Thinks About It.
From the Washington Post.
“It is evident,” said Mr. Cleveland, “that
the leavan of tariff reform has at last
leavened the whole lump. The west, which
has suffered the most from the unjust bur
den of tariff taxation, has awakened. The
state platforms of both lowa and Ohio were
abreast of the St. Louis platform on the
subject of tariff reform. The people have
cou-idered and passed judgment. It was
for the people to decide. It is euough for
me to say that lam satisfied at the indica
tions and results of Tuesday’s elections.
The verdict in Virginia indicates that the
south is still faithful to the democracy of
Jeffer.-on and Jackson.”
It is but a part of popular desire to know
that Mr. Cleveland is enjoying his usual
robust health, and that Mrs. Cleveland has
lost none of the charm and beauty which,
as mistress of tho white house, made htr
emphatically the first ladv of the land. T e
current report is contradicted that Mr. and
Mrs. Cleveland are about to take a Euro
pean trip. Mrs. Cleveland is so busy and
interes'ei in her new house and housekee; *
tag that any distant journey is far from her
thoughts.
Husband (to his wife, at the theater)—Have
you brought your opera glasses?
Wife—Yes, but I can’t use it.
“Why not?”
“I forgot to bring my diamond bracelets.”—

MEDICAL.
Catarrh
Is a constitutional and not a local disease,
and therefore it cannot be cured by local ap.
plications. It requires a constitutional rem
edy like Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, working
through the blood, eradicates the impurity
which causes and promotes the disease, and
Catarrh
effects a permanent cure. Thousands of
people testify to the success of Hood’s Sarsa
parilla as a remedy for catarrh when other
preparations had failed. Hood’s Sarsaparilla
also builds up the whole system, and makes
you feel renewed in health and strength.
Catarrh
“ For several years I have been troubled
with that terribly disagreeable disease, ca
tarrh. I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla with the
very best results. It cured me of that contin
ual dropping in my throat, and stuffed-up feel
ing. It has also helped my mother, who has
taken it for run down state of health and kid
ney trouble.” Mrs. S. D. Heath, Putuam, Ct.
