AS OTHERS SEE Us

The following is taken not from an
American but a German source:-The
watchmen of the New York Fire Brigade
(says this authority sleep in electric beds
set by the clock, which awaken the sleep.
er in this manner: two bells give the first
signal for rising, while lamp near the
bed is lighted by electricity. Soon after
an invisible power tears the nightcap off
the sleeper's head; at the same time a
spirit lamp under coffee machine begins
to burn as a further inducement to rise.
This proving fruitless, the electric bells
sound again, and as last warning pa
per appears at the side of the bed with
the word "upl" imprinted ON it. In case
this admonition also remaining ineffec-
tive, the bed rears itself up on end and
simply deposits its occupant on the floor.
A specimen Of an alarm bed of this kind
is at present exhibited at Cassel, in Ger
many. Such at least is the statement of
the FrGnkturter Zeitung; and if it can be
verified there will be an enormus demand
for electric beds for the use of the sleepy
headed American domestic.

Who May Wear Thao Pokes.

New York Letter to Chicago Tribune.
If woman 80 years old, with a false
front, and only such eyebrows as can be
evolved from burnt match, insists upon
wearing the 'Theo poke" there is no
sumptuary law to prevent her, and hun
dred shop girls are ready to abet her in
her folly, with their usual encouraging
remark, cit looks real good on you. .
And the poor old idiot allows herself to
be persuaded that pink-satin lining and
a bupch of pink ostrich tips are just the
trimming it needs to make nj, her just too .;
awfuIly bewitching. This "Theo poke"
is the very latest development OF the
millinery evolution. The last four days
have seen an eruption of these jaunty lit
tie bonnets on the surface of the fashion
able shopping street. They poke up
in the front and up in the back, and re-
dI lunch y9l Of tins and few loops of ribbon
are quite sufficient. For young and pref
ty women these hats are charming.

THE TARIFF ON IMPORTED BEER

THE TARIFF ON IMPORTED BEER.
A Question for American Brewers to Con-
slider.
Letter to New York Star.
/ saw to day a prominent German
brewer just returned from Hamburg,
Germany. He said he wished to warn
American brewers what the effect would
be on the brewing interests if the free
trade idea should get in power in America.
This gentleman said he visited breweries
in Hamburg where men were working
for thirty cents day, and where they
sold beer for SO so barrel. He said:
"When | asked the German brewer
why he did not ship his beer to America,
he said: The Republican party has kept
on tariff Of Sc a barrel, which would
make their ordinary lager beer cost so so
barrel in America
II asked the German brewer what he
would do if free trade prevailed and they
took this duty off German beer. He said 4:
"'Why then l could send German beer
to America. The freight would be dol
lar barrel, and would send ten cargoes
to New York Immediately and sell it for
S. per barrel. If the Democrats get into
power we will supply German beer
cheaper than the American brewers can
make it..
'Afterward, said the American-Ger-
man brewer, II asked him what would
be the final result, and he said
1--WE would continue to make beer
for America till the laborers in the Amer
lean breweries were willing to work for
thirty cents day.
In conclusion he advised all German
brewers TO protect themselves against
such result by voting for high tariff
party, and man known to have high
tariff ideas, like Mr.. Blaine.

GEN. CAMERoN's PROPHECY.

Blaine VIII Be Our Next President.
New York Sunday Tribune.
The Oldest guest at the Hoffman House
on Saturday was ex-senator Simon Cam
eron. But age seems to have no effect
upon either the mental or physical vigor OF
the veteran statesman. A Tribune re-
porter found him taking his luncheon
with party offriends, and not one could
tell brighter story or enjoy more thor
oughly a good thing told by some one
else at the table than Mr.. Cameron. He
is now approaching closely his 87th year,
but looks ten or fifteen years younger.
AS usual, when at the table he was sup
piled with Mumm's best brands. For
years he has drank nothing else in the
place OF wine, and that it agrees with him
no one can doubt after glance at his
still stalwart form. Leaning back in
his chair in answer to request that he
should talk on politics for few min
utes, he said: "You know l take no part
in politics now, else | would be
glad to give the Tribune my views. But
you Can say for me that | believe Mr..
Blaine will be elected and l hope he will.
Of course, you know he will get the vote
of Pennsylvania l can't say how large
majority the State will give him, but ii
generally gives large one when called
on, and Mr.. Blaine will get it. There are
no differences in the Republican party Of
Pennsylvania. We are all Republicans
and will vote the Republican ticket. The
only part that l will take in politics this
fall will be to vote. y
What talking politics, General ?" ex
claimed Captain ellis, of the Navy, who
was one of the party.

Pennsylvania will give Mr.. Blaine the usua

MARRIAGES, BIRTHS AND DEATHS IN
IRELAND

The detailed annual report of the mar
riages, births, and deaths in Ireland for
1888 shows that the marriages registered
during the year numbered 81, 368, births
118, 1853, and deaths, SO, 22S. Both abso-
lutely and proportion to the estimated
population the marriages and births are
under the annual average for the proceed
ing ten years; the mortality is somewhat
in excess of the average. The recorded
natural Increase of population or the ex-
cess of births over deaths was 81, 935, the
loss by emigration amounting to about
109, 724. There would thus appear to
have been a decrease of 86,789 in the
population during the year. The esti-
mated population in the middle of the
year was 5, obs, 1872.

THE CRY OF MARIAR.
How Mr.. Cleveand's Rest Was Broken at
Buffalo Hotel.

Mr.. Cleveland vas in a towering rage
when he came down from his room at
the hotel in Buffalo the other morning,
his looks indicating that he had not rested
well
He approached the nobleman at the
desk and in voice tremnlous with indig-
nation demanded why the guests should
be permitted to suffer insult at the hands
of hocdlums about the hotel.
The nobleman with the diamond as
sured Mr.. Cleveland thatsuch things were
not permitted, and asked for an explana
ton.
"Mr. Cleveland answered with blush
ing hesitation that he had been annoyed
all night by some one crying and repeat
ing the word Marian. 30
The noblemen's diamond flashed again
as he became lost in thought, and the
great light seemed to enter his soul as he
leaned over and whispered
'My dear sir, it was the cat.

An Actor Surprises His Father.

When the late Frank Chanfrau re-

The Chicago Fire Anniversary.

Friday last was the thirteenth anniver-
sary of the fire at Chicago, which swept
over two thousand acres of its built up
area, entailing loss of 500. 900, 900 of
property. To-day, scarcely a trace re-
mains OF that widespread ruin. In its
place larger and finer structures have
risen, and North, South and West Chicago
is reaching out and extending her do
main. The horror of 1871 is scarcely re
membered; at most it is but q dim remi-
niscence Almost a generation has been
added to its numbers, and crowds of new
corners have moved here, so that large
proportion of its Co., 600 people have lit
tie actual knowledge of the events ofthose
terrible days, and SO far away have we
drifted and so radiant and magical have
been the changes that probably few of
those who passed through the fiery ordeal
recalled it yesterday or would remember
it to-day but for this reminder.
