of 1880, when Hoadly wos in the chair, thore
was just such another hell. The
picture Of the poor man whaoking
a boilcr-iron desk with mace that he swings
with both hands until desk, mace and Hoadly

while the heelers and howlers In front Of

Perhaps the second "g" used in the south

Before tho Hill investigating committee
yesterday Mr.. Thomas filed denial Of Mr..

ANTHONY FISHER is o bold, bad man.
Bold, because he announces without reserve
what thousands of others who have taken his
course are mean enough to deny; aud bad'
because a man should not marry woman
simply for support. Last January Anthony
married Miss Rubina Tutte in the village of
Sing Sing, N. Y. Mrs, Fisher caused Anthony
to be arrested few days ago and brought be-
fore justice on a charge of abandonment
end failure to make suitable provision for
her support. The justice decided in favor OF
the wife, and Anthony appealed. Now An
thony is not one of your mean cusses who
would feel ashamed to tell the whole truth, as
some husbands would under like circumstan-
ces, SO he stood up like a man and alleged
that, instead of his agreeing to support his
wife she had agreed to support him.

more than mere coincidence between his ap-
pearauce in conventions and the outbreak OF
disorder. 1t has been his singular fortune to
cut prominent figure in two of the
most disgracefully riotous conventions
this country has ever known. The re-
cent state convention was simply an

Ellsworth Berbower is remarkably skillful
with rifle, One of his latest shots is described
as follows: A piece Of half-inch gas-pipe was
inserted through u heavy pece of iron as
base. AT one end of the pipe he affixed the
blade of Ratchet so that the sharp edge
rested against the pipe. On either side of the
Ratchet he hung glass ball. Standing off at
distance of forty feet, he fired with
Winchester repeating rifle at the ex-
posed end of the gas-pipe, through
which the bullet passed and was split on the
hatchet-edge, each half breaking the glase hg!..
on either SIDE of the Ratchet Having done
this remarkable shot to his satisfaction in the
ordinary ofI-hand way, he tried it i'm a differ
ent manner Holding the gun over b $ shout
Il r, he sighted through a small mirror he held
in his left hand and fired with his back to the
object Again did the ball pass through the
gas-pipe, split on the Ratchet edge, and break
both balls still another way was tried. Bend
ing over, he held the rifle down and ght d
under his leg, again making the shot success
