CANIBALISM.

New York, Aug. 15.-The officers and men of the Alert, Thetis and Bear refused to say anything for publication about the new taie of suferlngs of the Greeley party. IL Is evident from the tone of their conyer- sation that the reports of cannibalism at Cape Sabine have some foundation. One of the gentlemen connected with the relief expedition. who did not wish his name used, said the opinion among the officers was, that if cannibalism was resorted to, 1t was only when It was either that or death, The gentleman said ''any one can easily understand that men who had been living for months on few shrimps day, are not exacty in their right minds. When Gree ley Was found the party were more or less out of their heads They had suffered so much from hunger and exposure chat a collapse was very near. l. Is easy to see that for months dominant, the only idea in the minds of these men was how to get food. They probably dreamed and thought of nothing else. They cannot be blamed for eating whatever they could find.
 The Bear was open to visitors, and the cast-iron tank ill which the bodies of the six victims had been preserved was on deck. It is four and half feet long by twenty inches wide. and the bodies of the men, it is admitted, were merely skin and bones.

MRS. FAIR.
thereon.

Fo" several months past the tongues of
the gossip mongers have been busy with
the intentions of Mrs. Theresa Fair.
Her divorce, her wealth and comparative
youth have united 10 make her name a
choice morsel for the idle or the eDyious
to roll under their tongues. 1t has been
said that she was about to be reunited to
her husband and to this commendable
end Bishop Riordan has been credited
with using his endeavors. On the other
hand runner mas had it-and the report
comes back to this city in the form of a
telegraph dispatch-that Mrs. Fair is
about to give her hand to a gentleman Of
the San Francisco Press, the telegram
adding that sit is understood that Mrs.
Fair has gone to Rome to procure from
The Pope dispensation to enable her to
marry" The gentleman referred to is
Mr.. Pickering's society editor, who is
now in Canada, the strange part of the af
far being that Mr.. Fair, Mrs. Fair and the
gentleman referred to all went East about
the same time. The rumor, however is
said by those most in Mrs. Fairs conf
dence to be pure fabrication, and a
personal friend OF the society editor con-
firms this denial so far as his knowledge
extends. In explanation of the acquaint-
ance of Mrs. Fair and the gentleman
whose name is associated with hers, it is
said that at Santa Cruz last year he
rescued her child from being run over on
the beach. Since then she has shown
him much consideration, even gazing so
far, it is added, as to eDdeavor to form
matrimonial alliance for him with
wealthy young lady Of this city. Others
have seen in this friendship evidences of
a more tender affection, which has given
rise to the telegraphed report of the
intended marriage. Whatever the truth
may be the society editor, and the mill
ionaire society leader may do much more
than to enter together the ssnuptial state,
while large portion of the public of
San Francisco would welcome the recon
ciliation of Senator and Mrs. Fair, an
event which does not seem improbable,
as each has an esteem and affection for
the other, strengthened by their mutual
attachment for their children. = San
Francisco Chronicle.

EATING BEFORE SLEEPING.

''Go home and eat good supper, that 5
all The medicine you want" and the
medical gentleman to whom a Mail and
Express reporter had gone for a nervous,
or sedative, or sleeping potion, opened
the door to show him out.
"But, Doctor, it is IL o'clock at
night"
"Well, what Of it? Oh, I see, the
popular prejudice against eating at night.
Let me tell you, my young friend, that
unless your stomach is out of order, it is
more benefit to you to eat before going
to bed than it is harmful. Food of a
simple kind induces sleep. At what
hour did you diner"
"Six o'clock"
"Humph Just what I thought. Six
o'clock Fourteen hours before dinner
and your breakfast. Enough to keep any
man awake By that time the fuel nec-
essary to send the blood coursing through
your system is burned out. Animals
sleep instinctiYely after meals. Human
beings become drowsy after eating. Why?
Simply because the juices needed in
digestion are supplied by the blood being

sleeplessness is a call for food Wakeful
ness is oftentimes merely a symptom of
hunger. Crafty the desire and sleep

they eat on going to bed. Some per-

"But is it not essential that the stop.

Undoubtedly. Yet, when hungry

eats less often only because his food re-
quires more time for digestion. Invalids
and children at night may take slowly

vigorous adult can eat bread, milk, cold

sent in bill for $1,000. General Blanco

THE ROAD TO THE FACTORY.

A paper with the above title was read
by Robert Fargo, of Lake Mills, before
the late meeting of the Wisconsin Dairy
mems Association, 1t treats Of matters
pertaining to highways quite pertinent at
the present time.
In November last your honorable sec
retary requested me to prepare paper
for this convention. [ had chosen for
my theme, ''The Theoretical versus the
Practical Dairyman," and one beautiful
November afternoon, for which Wisconsin
is so famous, I was riding home from my
place of business, and while riding was
working my inner consciousness upon my
chosen subject, and found myself per-
picked in journalistic circles for learned
disquisitions upon the management of
the dairy and kindred topics, who, if
given a good garden and all necessary
implements, could not grow hill OF
beans, or, given a choice Jersey COW,
could not keep her milk thirty days.
Notwithstanding this difficulty, had
just found their niche and was about to

sudden lurch, which nearly broke Lay
neck. In my anxiety and pain | forgot
my theme and witticism. A new prob
lem presented itself for solution. Why

Had not driyen around it 260 times?
