Another Anecdote Of John RAN
dOlph.

1t was seldom that any one got the
best of Randolph in verbal encounters.
Only q few instances are preserved.
One is of a French able who,. visiting
Washington, was one day guest
where Randolph, who was unknown
to the able, was also q guest. The
able was asked how he liked the
South, and he replied
Exceedingly; but confess: to hav-
ing been little disappointed had
heard so much-in the Virginian gen
tleman."
Perhaps you were unfortunate in
your circle, broke in Randolph, with
sneer. "You did not come to Roam
oke, for instance"
True, said the able, covering his
evident annoyance at the rude tone
with his usual calm smile. ''True, the
next time visit Virginia shall GER
tainly go to Roanoke"
Gentlemen answered Randolph,
emphasizing the word. s'do not come
to Roanoke unless they are invited"
1t was a cruel thrust. but the able
took it in the same placid manner;
and, lifting his gray head, paused for
q moment to give due emphasis to his
words, and then replied looking in
quiringly at the other guests

When ellis Sublime Grandeur, the
Court and Body Elephant of the
King" dies in Siam, the rest OF the
court have a very unpleasant time for
thirty days. The last body elephant
went mad one night and trampled five
attendants to death. On the next
morning an effort was made to corral
his sacred body in a ring of ;tholy
bamboo" He broke loose again, and
in frenzy fell over and died. All the
court were punished severely.
A distressing death was that OF the
elephant Romeo, at Bonneville, Mo-,
in Barnum, Baily & Hutchinson's cir
Gus. Romeo was very large, and was
valued at $35, 900. The machinery
for lighting the tents by electricity

away, torn off at the roots, and he

Superstition About Comets.

From "New Chapters in the Warfare ofSci
ence," by Professor Andrew D. White, IN
Popular Science Monthly.
In these beliefs regarding meteors and
eclipses there was little calculated TODD
harm by arousing that superstitious
terror which is the worst breeding-bed
of cruelty. Far otherwise was it with
the beliefs regarding comets. During
many centuries they brought terrors>
which developed the direst super
stition and fanaticism; the ancient
records of every continent are full OF
these. One great man, indeed, in the
Roman Empire had the scientific in
stinct and prophetic inspiration to,
forsee that at some future time the
course ofcomets would be found in ac-
cordance with natural law. But this.
thought of Seneca was soon forgotten;:
such an isolated utterance could not
stand the mass of superstition which,
upheld the doctrine that comets are
"signs and wonders The belief that
every comet is a ball of fire, flung from:
the right hand OF an angry God to warn.

ceived into the early church, transmit

sion and reception was made all the
more precious by supposed textual,
proofs from scripture. The great
fathers of thechurch commit ted them
selves unreservedly to this doctrine.
Tertullian declared that comets por-
tend revolutions of kingdoms, pesti--
lence, war, winds or heat" Origenin-
sisted that they Indicate "catastro--
Plies and the downfall of empires and
worlds" The Venerable Bede, sojust--
ly dear to the English Church, made in
the ninth century a similar declara-
ton. St. Thomas Aquinas, the great
light of the universal church in the
thirteenth century, whose works the
Pope now reigning commends as the
center Of all university instruction,
accepted and handed down the same
opinion. The sainted Albert the.
Great, the most noted genius of the
medieval church in natural science,
received and developed this theory.

A Deserted Husbands Vengeance.

Washington Special. -Louis Somerfeld,
a policeman. aged tifty-two years, shot and
instantly killed his vile and Gottlieb
Elsenbaum at the latter's saloon in the
northwestern part OF the city. Somersfield' 8
wife left him some weeks ago and has since
been living at Eisenbaum's. Recently
Somerfeld entered thesaloon and, drawing
a revolver emptied all its chambers, one
shot passing through Eisenbaum's heart,
while Mrs. Somcrfield was shot in the back.
AS soon as the shots were fired some OF the
neighbors rushed to Mrs. Eisenbaum giving
the alarm, and they were both found dead.
Sonertield ran down the street toward the
navy yard. A citizen undertook to stop
him, when he attempted to kill him also.
An officer then appeared and took him into
custody. He made no explanation, except
to say in broken English that his wife had
left him and gone to live at Eisenbaum's s,
and that she had cheated him out OF his
money.

Hanging of a Maine Burglar.

He remained calm and cool as the hour OF
his death approached. He slept quite we'll,
breakfasted heartily and smoked. His pa.
rents live near London. His father is q
tradesman. Wilkinson was not the prison
er's real name. He said that the folks
should never know the manner Of his
death. He wished to be buried in the prison
cemetery. Wilkinson, escorted by the
deputy sheriffs and Rev. F. n. Tower his
spiritual adviser. issued from the western
door OF the prison and marched to the scat
fold. He walked VITA a firm step, and stood
upon the drop without a tremor. AS the
moose was being adjusted he said to the
sheriff: You fellows get $50 day for
such work" He had nothing further to
say, but listened attentively to the service
for the dying. At just IL o'clock the trap
was sprung and he fell seven feet, dying
without a struggle.

. Clot Of Blood in McCullough's Brain.

3rss 5ss As So
q C1otf of Blood in Mccullough Brain.
A number OF leading physicians Of Phila-
delphia examined the brain Of the late J ohm
Cullough, a few days ago, in order todefi-
nitely fix the cause Of death and substan-
tiate or disprove DR.. Hugo Engel's theory
OF death, which was different from that
held by the ply sicians OF Bloomingdale hos
pital. Dr. Engel's theory was that death
was caused by the disease known as
thrombosis, which is a gathering of a
thrombus or clot 81 blood in one of the ar
teries, thus blocking differentiation OF blood
through it. Dr. Engel always contended
that the formation OF one OF these throm-
bus in the brain was the primary cause Of
the trouble. So confident was he of this
fact that he asserted that if he could carry
Mccullough through thirty days without
the formation of a second thrombus, he
could eventually be cured. Two weeks
elapsed when the second formed and death
ensued. The physicians at Bloomingdale
hospital claimed insanity from general
causes, not special.
The result OF the autopsy freely corrobo-
physicians signed the following statement:
The physicians assembled find it was a
disease OF the blood vessels of the brain,
due to blood poison, and that the basilar
artery and middle cerebral arteries were
the ones mainly affected that the pia mater
was opaque over a large part OF the con-
yeAity O.. the brain and adherent especially
III front OF the parietal region, near the
brocas convolution and assure OF the ro-
londo. In various places, in an attempt
to strip pia mater, it was fou4 d that small
fragments OF cortical tissue came away
with the membrane. Neither tumor nor
abscess was discovered.
