What Is He2

At Helena, Ark, there is won
derful colored man, Mack Hamilton,
VINO has been making a show of
himself on the streets of that town.
Some of his feats consist of eating
large quantities of porcelain and
glass without any deleterious ef-
fects. His appetite is always in
good order, and for a dime he will
eat enough to convince the most
skeptical that there is no trick
about it.
He also drinks as much as gallon
of water at time, and then with s
motion of his right arm-such 6
motion as is given to the handle o.
a pump when pnmping-the watel
comes out of his mouth IN a stream
as clear as when first swallowed
He also is able to drink boiling wa
ter and eject it by this pump-lik,
process, and when it is emitted 1t i.
hot enough to scald. He swallows
live frogs and small snakes, and by
a simple motion of the arm they ar
forced out of his mouth. He ha
drank half gallon of whisky with
out the slightest Inconvenience. H,
has some splendid offers from differ
ent people to go in show, but b.
! prefers to be his own master. II,

Before man can properly fill sr
important position in a first class

eat, drink and sleep baseball and
nothing else. He mustn't allow his
mind to wander to anything outside

neoplp. When the var ca the soutii
lad been renewed in congress and
the distr Anchised millions were
helpless to prevent the robbers and
plunderers licensed by the recon
struction laws to do their worst
upon US, Thurman was facing the
frenzied and fanatical radicals
pleading for constitutional rights,
for peace for the restored union and
for Justice for the conquered states.
In those days so full of evil and
little good, his voice was loudest,
his argument strongest and his ap-
peal most telling. Grateful for his
example, grateful for his words and
votes, thankful and grateful for his
devotion to the constition, the
southern states in the st. Louis
convention will cast their votes fol
him with enthusiasm. They put
his name among the highest in the
history of the republic for honorable
life and living, for unselfish devo-
ton to the interests of the people
for self sacrificing zeal for his party
and for grounded character OF s
type that few men can parallel. NJ
qualification that the St. Louis con-
vention can bring can surpass the
nomination of Mr.. Thurman to {
place that he will honor in the ac-
ceptance of. 1t will be browning
satisfaction and will arouse the en-
thusiasm of the party as it has no
been aroused in many years.

and perhaps comical comi,de, such
as Mike Sullivan, who bad more OF

Mike was the Micky Free OF the

has good reason TO remember the
night at Jacksonport when ne had
been fishing and did not have the

with one eye on Gen. Frost's tent
and tie other on the lockout for
late corners. The doctor approach
ed the beat of Mike who was duly
filed with the Importance Of his du-
ty as q sentinel and the contents Of

the doctor, who after a long and
vain attempt to enter the camp ar
ranged his manly form on the sof

John was charged with the impor

Oueer Verdict,

The duties of those who serve on
coroners' juries do not ordinarily
suggest anything very funny, and
yet some laughable results come
from their work particularly if they
do not exactly understand what is
expected of them.
An amusing story is told of a YER
dict brought in by western jury
to inquire into the cause OF death
of a man supposed to have commit
ted suicide. The verdict was brief
and to the point, the foreman saying
simply:
1--WE, the jury, find the deceased
guilty as charged"
Another jury examined a great
many witnesses in the case of man
run over by railroad engine. The
verdict was:
1--WE find him to have come to his
death by being cut in two by rail
road engine, whereby he could
not breathe, hence he choked tc
death"
A coroner's jury in the backwoods
of Missouri heard all the evidence III
the case of a man killed by run a.
way team, and brought in the follow
ing verdict:
|The jury finds the dead deceased
no have come to his death at the
lands of runaway team, the horses
thereof begin blameless. they being
frightened by dog"
1t is told of an old German tina
he sat stolidly and stupidity on :
coroner's jury and listened to ali ta'
evidence, after which he walked
over towards the corpse with some
degree OF curiosity. Lifting th'
cloth he started back, turned to The
other jurymen in Amusement and at
fright, and cried out:
mine Colt, shentlemen, dot maj
ISL dead"
A jury in Missouri rural com
munity deiberated three hours owe
the corpse of woman burned b.
the explosion of q kerosene lamp
The following verdict was then an
nounced in writing:
Resolved, that the diseased wa
burnt to detb. The joory."
A man, supposed to be tramp
was found dead in the woods, GU
west. A jury inquired into tn
cause of his death, and reported q
follows:
The jury does not find that tn
dead man has been foully deal
with, and is of the opinion that h
died simply because his time ha'
come and there was no getting sou

Why Will We Wln7
New York Star.

A correspondent has asked US for
plain statement of the reasons for
our faith IN the triumphant election
of Cleveland and Thurman. We
will endeavor to answer the inquiry
briefly without overstating snything
that bears upon the grounds of our
confidence.
We have already dwelt on the
wonderful unanimity of the demo-
cratic party for Cleveland and ex-
planned our conviction that the
feeling of the people of the United
States toward the present president
is akin to that of the masses of his
supporters toward Lincoln, after be
had been severely tried and found
true and capable. The sentiment is
one of intimacy between the people
and their chief public servant, arts
ing out of equal devotion to CON-
mon end and sincere effort to pro-
mote it by direct and plain endeav-
or. No manifestoes Of oFganiza
tions, no journalistic puffs, are
needed to introduce Cleveland to
the people. They know him as q
man knows his next-door neighbor
or his brother, and they understand
that what be does for them in the
way they would like him to DC it.
They suspect HIM of no interior
motive nor of cherlshing any scheme
for the benefit of himself or any one
else but the people at large. They
trust him. They have tried him.
They have found him true and they
will not stop him in the middle of
his work.
We believe that this sentiment
means votes to be counted by the
million and therefore we think, as
we said five months ago, that in the
extent of the democratic majority
the result of the national election Of
1888 will relatively more closely re-
semble that of the state contest in
1882 than the conclusion of the fed
eral electoral campaign of 1884.
The result of 1884 was a demo-
cratic success. From that element
can votes now be drawn to reverse
it?
The democratic party is not dis
tracted by any important local or
factional divisions, jealousies or Sc
cessions, as it was four years ago.
There will be more democratic votes
polled for the ticket this year than
then. Cleveland has gained strength
and Thurman is, to say the least,
as popular a candidate as Hen
bricks was.
AS we have seen by recent ex-
pressions of influential independent
papers, Thurman's popularity is
not limited by strict party lines.
Independents hail his nomination
as the bes. possible. Republicans
admire him exceedingly. His early
to the Chinese invasion
renders him the favorite of the Pa
cific coast, and his steadfast anti
monopoly championship of popular
rights against the jobbery and OPP
preston OF the great corporations

Every one has noticed, while driv.

Every one has noticed, while driv-
ing, how rarely horse steps on a
stone even when going very rapidly.
A writer in Golden Days quotes an
old cavalry man as saying that a
horse never steps on a man inten-
tionally. 1t Is a standing order with
cavalry that should man become
dismounted, he must lie down and
be perfectly still. If he does SO the
entire company will pass over him
and he will not be injured. A horse
notices where he is going and is on
the lookout for firm foundation to
put his foot on. 1t is with him an
instinct, therefore, to step over a
PROSTATE man. The injuries caused
by a runaway horse are nearly al
ways inflicted by the animal knock
ing down and not by stepping on
them.

A Woman's Views Oh Politics,

There are only two subject is In the
air just now-politics and horse
racing, and each is as Intoxicating
as the champagne cup. l cannot
say that have very clear opinion
of politics, nor am considered al
authority on horses, but woI..dn
be a woman if / didn't have opin-
ions on both. Now, I'll tell you
what ] think about politics. II
will be burning shame, disgrace
to the country, and the flags should
fly upside down, if Mr.. Cleveland is
not reelected. Cause why? Be
cause, first of all, he's been a very
good president and he's democrat;
next, because / am not believer in
the four years term-a man only
has time to learn how to be presi-
dent when he's jerked out and
somebody perfectly ignorant of the
duties is put in. For my part, l
believe in an eight years term and
q right to reflect for four years, if
the people wish it.
Most presidents would die during
that time and it would give the vice
president a show. 1 think we are
greatly given to choosing men who
are too old-it is all very we'll to
talk about experience, but expert
ence isn't everything, and expert
ence doesn't count for anything
when a man first gets into the pres
idential chair. He's got to begin
his experience all over again. He's
in what the darkies call "a new
spear of life," and he's a remarka.
bic man If he learns how to control
the "spear" in four years. Mr..
Cleveland has learned and he ought
to be kept in. Like the renowned
Signor Bing-Binger, 81 sing of the
feminine gender" in politics as we'll
as in love, and / think that after
Mrs. Cleveland has devoted all hel
time to being nice in the "spear,"
though l doubt if she could help
being nice in any place, her claims
on the the gallantry of the voters
should and undoubtedly will be re-
cognlzed.-Bob's Babble in New
York Star
