Two. Remarkable Colored Men.

There are in Kalamazoo at pres
ent two very remarkable colored
individuals. The most remarkable
one is from Paw Paw. He can
take any ordinary piece Of paper
and after rubbing it in his hand q
few times, breathe upon it and set
it on fire. This is no humbug, but
is an actual fact. Mr.. David Fish.
er, the worthy clerk Of the village
school board, has bad considerable
business that kept him In Paw Paw
the past year. He heard of the
fellow and and went to see him
perform the "trick,' a. he supposed
It to be. The boy protested that
there was no trick about 1t aud
that he was unable to account for
the phenomena.
Mr.. Fisher, not being satisfied,
went to the fellows house in the
night, got him out of bed, made
him wash his hands and arms, then
swsbbed ont his mouth, gave him q
drink of water, and bid him 60 on
with the show. The result was
that the paper Ordinary newspaper
brought for the purpose) was set
on fire. Mr.. Fisher says there is
no humbug about 1t.

ELrE CENTS ENOEGH

The previous question has been moved in
the debate upon elevated railroad fares. The
report of the. Special Investigating Committee,
Of which Nh Hepburn Is chairman, not only
contains a specific recommendation that the
fare be fixed at uniform rate Of cents,
but presents body Of evidence IN favor OF
the change which is simply overwhelming.
The truth concerning the watering OF the Sc
curiiies Of these roads has been known IN
mart before, but il has never been told with
such exactncss. IL must leave the companies
without a defence. The difference between
the actual cost of the Metropolitan Road and
its apparent cost as represented by stocks and
bonds OF that company and the mythical Man
haitian, is 81, SGO,O 900. The difference be-
tween the actual and apparent cost oil the
New-York Road is $40, 100000. The total
actual cost of the two roads was 81 sos, 900
the apparent cost moro than $4,000, 900
the difference, mos5 of which. the committee
saws. was nothing but water Is more than
$24,000,000.
When it is remembered that the pub
lie is paying 10 per cent dividend
annually on at least onc-half Of this watered
stock. and will pay that dividend upon the
whole of it should the earnings reach The
necessary height to cover the Manhattan stock
also it is easy to see what a gross legalized
robbery has been committed. The committee
was so strongly moved by the result of its
researches that it has submitted a bill to pre-
vent the creation of phantom railroad compa-
MES like the Manhattan. whose only function
is to conceal the watering of stock and assist
in exacting from the community an exOrbi-
tant revenue. The bill should pass. As fol
the Five-cent bill, we assume that there can
be no doubt of its passage after the pubica-
ton of this report
