The Printers Got the Craze

The printers of the Comstock are
talking of getting up a six.day
type-setting match to be conducted
in style similar to the pedestrian
contests now so popular. Such a
contest, while possessing no special
interest to the public. would be of
great benefit to the craft, and slim
ulate q healthy rivalry among
members of the Printers Union.
The subject is now being agitated,
and several compositors have sig
nified their willingness to enter.
It Is q noticeable fact that there is
scarcely printer IN any newspaper
Office on the Comstock who does
not have unlimited confidence in
his own powers, both for speed and
endurance. There is one man
in the Chronicle office who says he
knows he isn't q "fast crab," but is
willing to back himself for 500 if
each man be required by the rules
to walk out to the nearest beer shop
and drink O schooner-load after
each stickful. Old Jim says he can
stand that for forty-eight hours at
least, without sleeping-because
he's often done it-and he doesn't
thing any other man in the office
can bear up under such fatigue

A VERY Tall Chi he Story.
Cincinnati Commercial. ]

lC1nclnnatl COMMERCIAL
A Mr.. Hawthorne, who came
here from New York O few days
ago on visit, had an experience
on Broadway yesterday wSlSh is
simply unparalleled IS %ting on
his very handsome. aress was S6Oo
diamond pin, the diameter OF
which x,tis about half an inch.
While sauntering up Broadway, he
stopped In front of Haggerty's pro-
duce establishment and bent over
Q pile of coops to watch the antics
OF some of the chickens which were
feeding. The diamond caught the
eye of q silly fowl--a hen, of course
and darting its head between the
laths, it seized the gem. Unfortu-
nately the fastening was not what
1t should be, and sharp jerk tore
1t loose. The hen swallowed the
diamond, and Mr.. Hawthorne's at
tempt to catch it gave 1t such q
fright that 1t rushed in
among the other chickens and lost
its Identity so far as he was con-
cerned. He went into the store to
complain, and was delayed some-
what. When he came out again,
the coops had all been moved, and
Hawthorne could not even recog-
nixe the 5000 one, A conference
was held with Mr.. Haggerty, and
1t was agreed that the only way to
make sure of the jewel was to kill
ali the chickens in the coops. This
was nota great undertaking, for the
house supplies hotels with dressed
chickens, and would not have
much trouble in disposing of the
lot. So Haggerty agreed that Il
he was allowed % cents q dozen fol
the killing Immediately, he would
find the diamond. The coops were
carried to the dressing room, ant
the ~ dozen chickens were killed
The S5Sth chicken had the dia'
mond carefully slowed away inside.
and Mr.. Hawthorne gladly paid SIS
for the killing and $40 to the
woman who found the diamond.
