Glass as an Article of Diet.

san Francisco Clronicle.I
There is residing in this city at pres
ent aSlavonian laborer, named Geritsa
Mattovich, who has exhibited an abil-
ity in masticating and digesting glass
and crcckery ware that appears aImost
incredible. On Monday evening last
he entered a restaurant kept by one
Of his countrymcn ON Commercial
street, and for the amusement of some
Of the habitues of the place he con-
sumed nine ordinary glass tumblers
and then washed the vitreous meal
down with q glass Of clareJ. Thesur
priscd spectators Of the astonishing ex-
hibition could hardly believe their
senses, and one doubling Thomas,
with the intention Of convincing him
self that there was no trick in the
matter, purchased three other glasses
Of larger size and laying them before
1fattovitch, invited hlm TO eat. Mat
tovitch promptly accepted the invita-
ten and in about the time required for
the consumption of like number OF
cream cakes the three glasses disap-
pearcd down his throat. As an adj
ditional proof of his capacity for such
uncommon food he wound up his per
formance by quickly demolishing q
common sized dinner-plate. He ac-
complished the teat with no more
effort than one would pat forth in eat
ing Il dinner and without weunding OF
iacerating his mouth. The following
night he visited another coffee saloon
and chopLo4#s on Stockton street
where he speedily ale up seven glasses

Upon this subject the Western

CONSTITUTIONAL ENDORSEMENT OF

The constitution of 1884. article XI,

This clause Of the constitution is en-
dorsed and expoundcd by the Supreme
Court as follows:
These bonds were all issued under
laws enacted by Legislatures deriving
/ their powers from the constitution Of
1884, and on this very question our
Supreme Court uses the following Ian
guage:
The constitution Of 1881, declared
