A Nan Who Claims Never to Have
Slept Over an Hour in
his Life.

Friday evenings Buffalo Telegraph
contains IN interview with Robert
Nelson, who is described as q short,
dark complicated man. with heavy
black flowing beard, wearing a SLOUGH
hat and carrying an old-fashioned
cane. The reporter noticed that
several persons were cycling Mr.. Neil.
con closely at the Exchange street
depot, and learning that it was be-
csuse the stranger Vas a man who
never slept, approached him.
at is true. sir" saidlhe. ut has
now been three weeks since l have
slept"
At this the reporter took the sub
ject in hand, and learned that the
Eentlemsnis name was Robert Neil
son, Of Lansing. Mich, and that be
MAS on his way to Rochester to visit
his aged mother who lives there. He
said:
Il wss born in Glasgow. Scotland,
Sept. %, 1889. and am one of family
Of six children, four of whom are liv-
ing. Before | Vas born my mother
had family troubles that deprived her
of her sleep for many weeks. In &C
cordance with . Law of natur. this
had it. e6set upon me, who had not
vet seen the light of this world. After
] was born my mother was given
very much trouble because l would
not sleep, even when under the in.
flaence of opistes. As I grew older l
became moro and more nervous; al
though I could rest we'll and expert
eDce no inconvenience, I could not
sleep. In fact l had little desire to do
60. I would 60 several weeks at a
time without even falling into q
browse. Physicians gave my case at
tention. but invariably pronounced it
. singular one and such rs could not
be remedisd because, as have said,
the singularity was birthmark."
''Only once since / can remember
have I been sick, and then it was
from bilious foyer. When 90 long
periods without sleep the only pecu.
liar sensation l experience is that
everything I look at seems distant
and larger than it really is. A short
man coming towards me would ap-
parently b very tall. Before going
to sleep / never felt different than you
probably would on going to bed any
night. I would dream little dreams
the same - most people do when
restless and uneasy. Riding in the
cold makes me drowsy if anything
does. In summer time I can 70 long
periods and feel tiptop all the time. |
If any ono doubts it he can get proof
of it By coming to zee me. Last
summer l did not sleep for four |
months. I worked every day, tho, at |
my trade of house building. 1 am
subject to violent headaches at times. |
but am able to work all the while; | |
90 to bed every night the same as any
body elss."
Mr.. Neilsonis story was told in . |
Straightforward manner, and he is |
ready to substantiate it at any time. |
He was . policeman on the Rochester
force for eight years prior 70 twelve
years ago. He went to Lansing
three years ago. where he married.

Slaves OF All COlOrs.

"Slavery," said an intelligent young
machinist to Chronicle reporter, ''why,
slavery is too good a name for the labor
system in the Hawaiian Islands. went
to the Islands two years ago and worked
on the plantations" continued the ma
chinist, "and from what / have seen L
quite agree with the old negro who told
me one night at Naalehu, I've worked
in Louisiana in the worst days and l
never struck any slavery like what We
have on this plantation. In the ma
jority of places, according to the machin-
lists description, each laborer is given a
room about six by eight feet to lodge in,
and this apartment has to answer all the
requirements of single or married life.
In many cases the machinist saw family
of six white people living in one small
room, with a shameless disregard for all
the decencies of life.
At o'clock the hands are escorted To
the field to work. The overseer Of each
gang is on his mettle to detect any neg
ligence or hardness, knowing well that
the value of his services is rated by the
amount which .he can deduct from the
wages If the slaves. Ii an unhappy
bondman is seen Sinking his work he Is
deprived of the wages for that day. If
he resent the imposition he is dragged
before the native officer of the law, who
is hail fellow well met with the planter,
and is fined. The system of fines is in
fact the most advantageous to the fiinty-
hearted overseer, for by judic;ously us.
ing the machinery of the law he can
keep the bondman more securely in his
power. The law prevents them from
leaving the service of the planter while
they are indebted TO him, and the i'm
position of few heavy fines prolongs
their slavery for years.
The foodegiven to the bondman is not
so bad In quality as disgusting in the
manner in which it is cooked and served
The Cinnamon and the South Sea Is
landers do their own cooking. The
white slaves depend on Chinese cook,
who is the servant of the plantation and
endeavors to express through his pots
and pans the sinister disregard of the
Overseer and the planter. The machinist
described the food furnished him and
other artisans at various plantations as
disgusting: ct doesn't take the poor
fellows long to become demoralized. and
then they are booked for good. The sale
of liquors is forbidden on the islands,
but the odd dollars the poor slaves get
soon go i'll drink. That's how the Chinese
grow rich by selling rice brandy. The
drink and the slavery make them all one

Perhaps there is not such wonderful
memory for poetry in this country as
Buffers. He drinks in every pleasant
verse and spouts it out at will Blaine
has similar memory for names, Greeley
had such memory for election figures,
Dana has such a.memory for ancient and
modern classics, Conkling has such a
memory for political data, Beecher has
such memory for anecdote, Talmage
such q memory for metaphors, Storrs
such memory for history, Van Dyke
such a memory for theological contro-
versies, and Ingersoll such memory
for the gems of Voltaire. 1t is said that
Grant can remember every man he ever
took drink with; that Schuyler Col
fax and II. b. Hayes remember every
Sunday-school they ever addressed.
Evarts remembers to a cent the fees he
has received in his law practice. Slough
ton remembers every wealthy family he
has had the pleasure of knowing. Jay
Gould, who forgot on the witnes s-stand
whether he drew his check for five or
ten millions, remembers that he was
once poor and that he didn't like it,
Vanderbilt remembers the family legend
about Jay Gould.

MOsby Outwitteo.

Mosby was seldom defeated and never
outwitted to my knowledge but once.
The incident has never been in print, /
| believe, and l am assured that the
partisan never related it, it was so very
notifying. 1t is trife, but may
amuse the reader. Colonel Mosby had
crossed the mountains with q few men
into Clarke County, when he was in
formed that Federal officer with a
squad of cavalrymen was in the vicinity.
The officer had stopped at "Clay Hill, I"
the residence of Mr.. Whiting, and
Mosby made up his mind to capture Of
ficer and men, His action was prompt,
as usual. He went to Clay Hill, cap
tured the Federal officer while he was
seated at supper and carried him off a
prisoner to Upperville, east OF the Blue
Ridge. There had been nothing at all
unpleasant about the whole affair.
Mosby and his prisoner were on the
most friendly terms. The partisan had
ridden his favorite gray mare on the
scout, and at Uppervile wss standing
beside her ready to mount, when the
Federal officer said
That's superb animal, Colonel"
eyes," was the gratifed reply of the
partisan as he patted the mares neck.
The officer sauntered closer.
GA very fine animal j. he repeated.
"Ill try her PAGES" And throwing
himself into the saddle, he disappeared
at full sSeead, and Colonel MoSby never
again saw his favorite gray mare or his
prisoner.-J Estea Cook IN Philadet-
Dhia ITpseS.

Coed Advice About Dress.

1t is important to know what point of
dress to emphasize. For instance, one
may expend large sum on a gown, and
if the shoes are shabby or Ill made, the
gloves worn and the bonnet lacks style,
the gown is entirely thrown away. But
the gown may be no longer new; it must
now be carefully brushed and well put
on, the collar and cuffs, or other neck and
wrist trimmings, must be in perfect order,
the boots well made and well blacked,
even if not new, the gloves faultless and
the bonnet neat and stylish. The effect
is of well-dressed woman; no man,
and very few women, perceive that the
dress is not a new one--MrS. r. w.

Literary Wares.

The late James r. Fields, while an &C
tive partner in the firm of Ticknor IL
Fields, was waited upon by a young SUI
gar merchant who had poetic aspira-
tions. The mercantile man complained
that his manuscript poems had been re-
iected by the firm, and he wanted to
know the reason why, inasmuch as ell of
his friends had heard the verses read,
and unanimously declared them to be
accessions to American literature.
"Our reader decides that" said MIR.
Fields. in his blandest tones.
srThen would like to see the reader. v
Always the personification of amiabil-
ity himself, the publisher took the mer-
chant up stairs to the reader. That
mighty parsonage sat at a desk heaped
HIGH with manuscripts; he carefully read
a few pages of each package, then
dropped it into basket at his side.
Occasionally he became more than or
dinarily Interested; in that case he
placed the package inside his desk.
"Why. he goes through 'em just as
sample suparl" exclaimed the would-be
poet, In amazement.
"That's because he's familiar with
literary wares az you are with sugars,
rejoined Mr.. Fields.
az am satisfied, let US CO." said the
merchant.
They went, and the disappointed bard
gave up verse-making, but he made a
large fortune In sugar.

ENGLISH wooden manufacturers owe a
debt of gratitude to certain Dutchman
named John Rempe, who, some 500 years
ago, accompanied Philippine, of Ham
ault, when she left her native Flanders
to become the bride of King Edward LII.
At that time the English exported their
wool, and received it back from Holland
in the shape of cloth, and, until the
aforesaid John Rempe set about estab-
fishing a cloth mandatory, not yard
of the woven material worn in England
was made at home. To encourage the
infant industry which Rempe established
in England, KING Edward III. enacted
law forbidding his subjects to wear
cloth not of English manufacture.
