Working the Cousin Racket,

A gentleman from Sedalia (Mo.) was
in Chicago few days ago and as he
was leaving the city on the train had q
delicious adventure, He saw charm
ing girl looking at him as if she was
waiting for him to recognize her. As
he failed to do this she finally advanced
towards him in a modest and hesitating
manner and called him "cousin so-and-
so.N He took her hand, and as she
seemed TO have her pouting, rosy lips
pursed up in preparation for a good,
square kiss he failed to resist the tempta-
tion and the evident desire of the fair
one and planted chasto salute "where
it would do the most good"
I'VE have cases of that kind here Of
ten" says Depot Master Rogers. The
other evening sweet, innocent looking
little woman ran up to seedy looking
fellow, and with an exclamation of glad
ness and surprise, threw her arms about
his neck. why, how dye do, cousin
so-and-so,' she said as she pNckerod her
mouth for the OSCILLATION act"
He of course was only too glad of
the chanceP" quered the reporter
Not much. He was not from the
rural districts, as she expected, but was
n wording, though he wore shabby
clothes. oh, no, my dear said he,
you're pretty smart, but you can't rope
me in The willy woman perceived
that her keen intuitions had deceived
her, and her coveted prey was not u
sucker, and she accepted the situation
withdrawing as gracefully as possible
under the circumstances. "--KanSaS CITY

A Clear Admission.

Col. William l.. Utley, whom the Greenbackers of the First District of Wisconsin have nominated for Congress, was their candidate for lieutenant Governor two years ago. He was colo nel of regiment during the war and assisted negro slave to escape. After the war he was prosecuted for the of- fense. The trial took place in Racine, and the United States District Attorney went from Milwaukee to prosecute the case.
 One day friend of Utley's, from Mil waukee, met the Col. on the street and asked him how his case was getting along.
 "Very well," said Utley, consid- ering that you have sent down the smartest member of the Milwaukee bar to prosecute me-"
 Why do you consider the attorney the smartest member of the bar ?" asked the friend, somewhat surprised.
 "oh ]" and Utley's reply was followed by one of his sweetest smiles. "I know he is the smartest member of the Mil waukee bar, for he admits it himself"

Killed by Electricity.

The first fatal accident with electric light wires in this city occurred at Canal and Elizabeth streets. Two men en- ployed by the Brush Electric Lighting Company were engaged at the time transferring wires from telegraph poles on the east side of Elizabeth street to higher poles on the west side of the street. In order to transfer the wires the workmen were obliged to introduce sections about ten feet long at each pole. The insulating coverings of the wires were removed for distance of a few inches near the poles, and when the ends cf the sections had been attached, the wires were cut and transferred. Joseph Staman, lineman who lived in East Houston street, was working on pole at Canal and Elizabeth streets. Contrary to orders he removed the coverings of both the electric light wires on the cross arm where he worked before attaching the ends of 8 section to either wire. His body at once formed 8 connection between the positive and negative wires.
 Frederick Layman, the assistant fore man, noticed Staman hanging from the two wires, each hand firmly clasped. His body was swaying to and fro in the air and his limbs trembled convulsively, while his features were drawn out of shape by the agony he was enduring. An alarm was given and other linemen were sent up the telegraph pole. They first cut the wires to prevent further harm. Then they lowered Staman to the street. He was still alive, but in- sensible. He was carried to the Eliza beth street police station, where he died in about fifteen minutes. The only visible effect of the electric current on Staman's body was on the palms of his hands. There the skin had been burned away and the flesh was blackened. Sta man was thirty-one years old and was married. d.-NeaO York Tribune.

The Fisheries.

The International Fisheries Exhibi- tion of next year will be on a grand scale. MT. Birbeck, M. F., head of the Executive Committee, has issued re- port which informs us that the Imperial Government of China has applied for space, that Canada wants 10000 square feet, and that nearly all countries have come in. There will be prizes for models of fishing and carrier boats; four money prizes, offered by Ashmead Bartlett Burdett- Coutts for the best collections of fishing rods :; prize of $1OO, given by the Baroness Burdett- Coutts for the best plan of fish market; and prize
 of $500 for the best model of carrier boat, the boat to be specially adapted for preserving the lives of her crew.
 The English Government will strike medals at the Mint as rewards of merit, will issue diplomas of honor, and will probably make grant of public money toward the expenses of the exhibition.

The Immoral Waltz.

'sTen or fifteen years ago." the Phil adelphia Press quotes dancing master as saying, ssthe waltz was not quite so objectionable as at present. Dancers of to-day come in altogether too close con- tact. In the old time gentleman mere ly touched a lady's waist, at the same time holding her right hand in his left. Now he throws his arm clear around her form, pulls her closely to him, as though fearful of losing her, brings his face into actual contact with her soft cheek, and, in a word, hugs her. Such action is altogether too familiar, but still custom and society sanction it, and instead of improvement for the better, we see year after year a marked advance in the improprieties of the dance. In the old days the waltz was comparative ly modest; now it is just the reverse, and the waltz is calculated to do more injury to the young than many of the vices preached against from the pulpit, and deeply deplored in private life."

Population.

The latest calculations of Behm and Wagner, the well-known statisticians, make the population of the globe lit- tie short of billion and half-1, 433, . 800, GOO souls. That the worlds popu- lation is steadily increasing is generally admitted but the revision of estimates in countries where the enumeration has hitherto been largely done by guess work as steadily reduces the figures formerly supposed to constitute this population. Asia is credited with the top score, 795, 591. 900, Europe coming next with 327, TAB, ,OO0, and Africa and America following with 2O5, 1928, ,O0O and 100, 415, 900 respectively.

An Experiment.

Two doctors have lately conducted at Grenel, a suburb of Paris, at the ex- pense of a rich Swedish philanthropist, 8 series of experiments upon pigs, for the purpose of ascertaining the effects of alcohol upon the internal organs of drunkards. Fifteen pigs were treated daily with different kinds of liquor, each pig, however, being confined to one par ticular tipple. When they had been killed their vital organs were found to be marked with small white spots re- sembling ulcers. Their flesh was pro- nounced sound, but when sent to mar ket it was seized as unfit for food. At last accounts, 8 dispute was going on between the experimenters and the po- lice, the former maintaining that the market inspector was mistaken.

An Internal Machine.

The new session of the Supreme Court of the United States, Washington letter says, was the means of unearth- ing an incident in the history of Asso- ciate Justice Stephen J. Field, which has probably not yet been published. Passing down the avenue, your corre- spondent was called by dealer in fire arms, sporting traps and other para phernalia, and asked if he had seen the internal machine that had been sent to Judge Field. He was taken into the rear of the store, and the case of 8 daguerreotype was discovered lying upon the counter, Examine this, /" said the dealer, "and tell me what you think of it" A close inspection showed that concealed in this case were ten metallic cartridges, with the sides filed, exposing powder, and firmly imbedded in wax. An ordinary piece of sand paper was connected with the hasp of the case, which, if opened from the front, would cause the ignition of a bundle of matches. The case, however, had been opened from the back, and the internal instrument had failed to accom- plish it's design.
 A clipping from newspaper pasted in the case detailed an account of 8 de- cision by Judge Field regarding the title os certain property in San Francisco, Cal. and it is supposed that the machine was tEe contrivance of some disap. pointed litigant. Further inquiry showed that the package came by mail, but was regarded with suspicion by the inmates of Judge Fields residence, and the parcel wac placed over night in pail o. water. Afterward it was pried ope1 from behind, and the deadly nature O. it's contents divulged. Had any on' forced the clasp open. as is the custom in handling small cases of this kind nothing short of 8 miracle could hav' prevented the discharge of the metalli cartridges.
 "This playthiug," continued tn dealer, "was brought to me by servan of Judge Field, with the request tha I would extract the powder from tn cartridges and render it as harmless a possible. I have succeeded in pryin out all the cartridges and am removin the powder through the hole filed il them by the maker of the machine"

.dly Frightened.

A young American teacher in Pan- anna, writing to friends in Philadelphia about the recent earthquakes of the Isthmus, says: "The panic in the city was wonderful. Nearly every family who have place to go to have left the city and are pitching tents out on the savannas. At least 1000 people are en- camped. All in the house sleep with
 their stockings on, their slippers close beside them, and their clothes in bun dIe where they can grasp them and run Imagine what condition this is to be living in! What renders it doubly severe is that we know not what to ex- pect; no one has any theory by which to explain the disturbance. You have read of tEe earthquakes, but no word of tongue or pen can describe their hor
 TOTS, even in this mlld form. The great est consternation prevails everywhere. "
