The Moose as a Racer.

1t is said that domesticated moose
belonging to half-breed in Maine is a
valuable assistant about the farm, and
that it is capable, when hitched to sled
and driven upon the ice, of beating any
horse that can be produced against it.
At an exhibition of moose racing in this
city some years ago the moose were very
disappointihgto those who went to see
them, and to the gentleman who had
brought them on in the trust
that they woulddroye money
making attraction when offered
to the public at popular adm is
sion prices. They were quite slow and
lumbersome, in very painful contrariety
to the general belief that had been enter
tanned of them, and horses of common
breed and dubious rapidity were fleet in
comparison. Very smooth ice might
make difference, but harnessed
moose running against good horse ON
a track of earth would seem thing that
was anchored. -Ha'per's Weekly.

ELECTRIC FREAKS.


LudlcrOus EHect of an Electric Wire Com.
ing in Contact with an Iron Front.
[Boston Special.l
g. W. Norris, piano dealer, occupies an
iron-front building at 604 Washington
street. Last evening, during the rain-storm,
an electric light wire became detached from
its fastening in the roof, and, coming in
contact with the iron the entire front of
the building was soon heavily charged with
electricity. Several persons experienced
slight shocks on touching anything metallic
about the building, and three persons who
leaned against brass railing which ex-
tends across the store window were curious.
ly affected.
Mr.. Alma D. Norris, son of the proprie.
tor who placed both hands on the bar,
near the end next the iron door post, in ad-
dition to being violently hurled into the
street-half way across, one person said
had his face, which did not touch any
metal, painfully though not seriously
burned.
Frank McNish, the acrobat, of McNish,
Johnson q Slavin's minstrels, paused to
scan the glittering display in the store win
dow. He took hold Of the little brass rail
and got frightful shock. For the next two
minutes he tackled that rail with all the
vim Of wrestler working for lock. He
went over it and under it, and clung to il
like brother, with a series of contortions
that set all his previous performances OF
'silence and fun" completely in the shade.
Luckily he was not silent, how
ever, and Patrolman Knight, on hearing
his vehement remarks, came to the rescue,
being obliged to pull him off by main
strength. As he was freed from the bar he
shot backward almost as though propelled
from catapult, and landed in the street,
as Mr.. Norris had done.
The bar. wasregarded with great curiosity
by number of persons who had collected,
awaiting doubtless another victim, He
soon came in the person of William G.
Lash, of 257 Shawmut avenue. Mr.. Lash
got very serious shock, being rendered in
sensible, and requiring the aid of police
ambulance to reach his home, where, at
last accounts, he is recovering, and will un-
doubtedly escape serious injury. Patrol
man Knight then mounted guard over that
rail, and was pretty busy keeping people
away from it until word was sent to the
Brush Company's headquarters and line
men cut the wire from the circuit.

Bishop j. s. Moore, of the African Meth.
odist Episcopal Zion Church, held speeial
services for the white people in Roddey's
Han In this place last night, and told an in
Ierestlng story Of having met sister from
Whom he has been separated for sixty-two
years, and the circumstances under which
they met as told by the Bishop are very in
teresting. The Bishop was born slave in
Virginia in 1915, his owner being the father
OF DR., Q, Clawson, of Chester, s. c., who
bought the Bishops mother at sale, she
having been carried from Pennsylvania into
Virginia and sold at the age of sixteen
years. A few Quakers who lived in the
neighborhood of Mr.. Clawson after hear
ing the woman's story of being kidnaped
and sold into slavery, became inter.
ested in her, and advised her to run
away across the line into Pennsylvania.
She took their advice, but was overtaken
and made to return, with her six or seven
children. Soon after this she again made
an attempt to cross the line, and this time
she was more successful, having gotten
three Of her children with her across the
line, one of them being the Bishop She
having wrapped him in blanket which
was lost, she then wrapped him in her skirt
and carried him safely across the line into
Pennsylvania. The other children were
captured second time, and made to re-
turn, one of them being Dicie Clawson, the
sister, whom the Bishop met on Saturday
for the first time since their separation, six
ty-two years ago. The Bishop had been
visiting this section for sixteen years. and
not until then did he know that his sister
was living. Mr.. Clawson some years
ago moved from Virginia to Fort Mill
Township, s. c., and brought with him the
sister, Dicie Clawson, and she has been
living in that township ever since, being
now seventy eight years old In July last
Bishop Moore preached near Fort Mill, and
mentioned the circumstances of his mother
escaping with him One of his sisters
daughters was present at the church, and,
on returning home, related the facts to her
mother, who remarked that her mother
had done up her little brother BENJAMIN
the same way. Rev. Mr.. Walker, the
pastor of the church, called to see Dicie,
and, hearing the conversation, mentioned
that Bishop Moore was formerly called
Benjamin Clawson, but had changed his
name to j. s. Moore. She at once said:
" He is my brother" and, hearing that he
would be in attendance at the conference
now in session, she came to this place on
Saturday and called to see the Bishop,
when brother and sister met each other
face to face after separation Of sixty-two
years.

Some of the Feats Performed by the
Strongest Man In Nevada.
[Boston Postl
There is man in Nevada named Angela
Cardelia who claims to be the strongest
man in the world. He is an italian, aged
thirty-eight, and stands five feet ten inches.
weighing one hundred and thirty-eight
pounds. He strength was born with him,
for he had no athletic training. He differs
from other men chiefly in the osseous
structure. Although not of unusual size,
his spinal column is much beyond the
ordinary width, and his bones and
joints are made on a similarly large
and generous scale. He has lifted man
of two hundred pounds with the middle
finger of his right hand. The man stood
with one foot on the floor, his arms out
stretched, his hands g1asped by two per-
sons to balance his body. Cardelia stopped
and placed the third finger of his right
hand under the mans foot, and with scarce
ly any perceptible effort raised him to the
height of four feet and deposited him on
table near at hand. Once two powerful
men waylaid Cardelia with intent to thrash
him. but he seized one in each hand and
hammered them together until life was
nearly knocked out of them. His strength
is inherited, for he says his father was more
powerful than himself

Among the many stories Lincoln used to
relate was the followingi Trudging along
a lonely road one morning on my way to
the county seat, Judge --- overlook me
with his wagon and invited me to a seat.
We had not gone far before the wagon
began to wobble. Said i: Judge, / think
your coachman has taken drop too much. y
Putting his head out Of the window, the
judge shouted: "Why, you internal scoun-
del, you are drunk ~
Turning round with great gravity, the
coachman said: "Be dad but that's the
frs rightful s'cision your Honor's giv'n n
twel moDtl"
If people knew the facts they would be
surprised to learn how many people reel in
the streets who never "drink drop.u They
are the victims of sleeplessness, OF drowsy
days, Of apoplectic tendencies whose blood
is set on fire by uric acid. Some day they
will reel no more-they will drop dead, Just
because they haven't the moral courage to
defy useless professional attendance, and by
use Of the wonderful Warner's safe cure
neutralize the uric acid in the system and
thus get rid of the drunkenness in the
blood. "-1he american Rural Home.

4 "REMINISCENCES.
A True History OF the Once Famous "Rob-
ert HELEN

ert HELEN.
Robert Heller" the noted magician,
was really William Henry Palmer, a ma
tive of Canterbury, in England. At the
age Of ten years he was a musical pro-
dizzy, and at sixteen he appeared in con-
cert, and had composed several brilliant
stndies for the piano-forte. His musical
career was hindered by his boyish fancy
for the illusions of magic, at first mere
recreation, afterward an infatuation.
While still student he left the Royal
Academy, in company with another
young and noted artist, and at the Thea
ter Royal, Rochester, he gave his first
magical entertainment. The result was
not brilliant. The friendly confederate
sat in front box, with greatly waxed
mustache, eye-glass and other disguise.
but owing to anxiety he lost his presence
OF mind at critical periods, to the discom-
future of the wizard and the disgust of
the audience, from whose missiles the
two young adventurers escaped through
window at the rear of the stage.
In 1852 "Robert Heller" came to the
United States, and soon afterward he
drifted to Washington. There he became
professor of music, was organist at DR..
Halls church, became lion in the dip
lomatic society presided over by Lord
and Lady Napier, and married Miss
Annie Kieckhofer, daughter of one of
the firm Of Riggs & Co., bankers. But
his infatuation for Bohemian life was
not overcome. His marriage was not a
happy one, and he persuaded an old
English gentleman named Philips, the
father of Washington bookseller, to
furnish the funds for new necroman-
GERS outfit Soon afterward he OBJ
tanned the services of his step-sister, Miss
Ada Palmer, as confederate, and with
her he travelled around the world. Re-
turning to the Atlantic coast, he died at
the Continental Hotel, Philadelphia,
