Sam Harrison, young man who has
been a glass eater in dime museums for
years, is in Bellevue hospital. He is i'll of
acute Indigestion, The trouble was
caused by his abnormal diet. His glass
eating, nevertheless, was, in measure,
tricky. His performance consisted in
taking q goblet, passing it around among
the spectators to let them be convinced
that 1t was genuine glass, and then biting
out large mouthfuls from the edge Of it,
which he crunched and ground between
his teeth and finally swallowed Witnesses
of the feat usually watched for evidence
that he kept the broken glass in his mouth,
and waited for an opportunity to spit 1t
out, but he always wound up by drinking
copiously of water, in manner which
seemed TO preclude such retention.
Harrison is so sick from the disorder OF
his stomach that he will not return to
the museums, and so he was-willing to
tell the attending physician how his glass
eating was done. The goblet was not
glass. but was composed of transparent,

At the studio of young portrait painter
| saw yesterday picture which was very
curious in its subject. II contained two
upright fgures--one that of a swarthy
Indian rajah covered with jewels and
wearing a star of India upon his breast
the other tall and lovely English girl OF
about 1S, in pink dress, her hair
gathered behind her by ribbon and fall
ing loose again. The rajah is smiling the
smile of proud possessorship, and the
young girl is looking with somewhat
bewildered air at her future lord. They
are two real people. She is the daughter
of an English chemist, and her parents
have consented TO her marriage with the
rajah, who, after the ceremony, will take
her out to his dominions.
One instance Of such marriage between
Christian maid and pagan man Is very
well known, and has turned out a decided
success. A Miss King, the daughter of O
governor of an English Jail, married about
thirteen years ago "the shereef of Oran, "
who is the spiritual head of the empires
of Morocco. The shereef, who is q de-
scendant of the prophet, on marrying
Miss King renounced all his other wives,
whom he lodged in an asylum at Tangier,
which 1t is a part of his duty to keep up
for the refugees from the secular power,
and he moreover gave to his son by his

Electric Railroad in Operation.

An electric railroad is in operation at
Asbury Park. Tho cars make the noise Of
so many coffee grinders They are lighted
by electricity, and when they pass one
another on switches the cables that hang
down from overhead have to be changed,
end all is plunged in darkness, These
cables connect with little cars that run
on wires over the street, and they are for
ever getting off their little bearings and
stopping traffic. On the other hand the
railroad Is an endless route around the
town, and whoever pays five cents may
ride all the way, or even many times
around, getting the journey and all the
eccentricities Of the road thrown in free.

when her husband asked the German gov

bune reports her as having said with
reference TO bincoln:
He didn't know much, as men are edu.
Gated these days. but, lah, mel We used
to think him a compendium Of knowledge.
And Mr.. Lincoln Simply Abe then,
thought was very apt scholar, always
ahead In his studies. He was q great
friend Of mine those days and used to
coach me, as my SOD calls IT,"
The lady related number Of episodes
and then gave the same correspondent as
above an account of the proposal:
ut was early in the spring Of 1884 one
evening when we were out walking, that
Mr. Lincoln asked me to marry him, but
as | had already formed an attachment
with and had promised to marry Mr..
brennan, Of course | refused him. He
seemed TO be quite sorry. but in his genial
way said: Well, Martha, anyway, we
can always be good friends And we
were. always thought great deal Of
Abe, and hated TO refuse him, but circum-
stances were such that ] was almost com
PEELED to.
"One little incident" she went on, Il
never will forget. We all went to church
one Sunday, creek being on the way,
over which we crossed on two fallen logs.
Mr.. Lincoln was not present during
ptbtNt, III
field Several Of us girls had walked, as
it was beautiful day. But Just before
church was out the sky clouded up and IL
commenced TO rain very hard. We girls,
at the conclusion of the service, were sit
ting In the church waiting for the rain
to cease. when Mr.. Lincoln rode up.
His mother had also attended ser.
vice, and on foot. After the rain was
over, he assisted Mrs. Lincoln on to his
horse, saying he would walk home with
the girls, which he did. But when we
came to the creek the logs had been
washed away and the water was fully
three feet deep What to do we didn't
know, but young Abe did. He com
meuced with me, and carried us all over
in safety, till the last one, a very feshy
girl, was only left on the wrong side
He waded through after her and took her
in his arms, starting across. We were
making all sorts Of fun of them and
laughing gayly. when she, being a mis-
chevous body, anyway, whispered some
thing to him which caused him to give
vent suddenly to loud peal of laughter,
when, somehow, the girl slipped from his
arms, and both fell fiat into the water.
But 1t didn't spoil our fun in the least.
Why, bless your soul when we saw tho
two woe begone looking creatures rise
and wade TO the shore we laughed all the
more, and so did they. Those were good
old times, indeed"
Had the girl known that the lank
country pumpkin beside her was to take
rank in the history of his country with
Washington, that he was to be the great
emancipator, the leader of the nation in
the greatest struggle of its history, she
might well have stood irresolute before
turning him away.

A re yAL FAMILY ROW
King Milan and CPiecn Natalie OF Ser,
and the Grown Prince.

King Milan and CRiecn Natalie OF scrvia
and the Crown Prince.
Queen Natalie Of servin. who failed In
her attempt TO withhold tho crown
prince, her son, from his fathers King
Milan's) possession, is Russian. She is
one Of tho most beautiful women in
Europe. Her father is the possessor OF
immense estates in Russia and when his
daughter married Milan in 1875 she
brought him a dowry of some $4,000,
900. Her only child, Prince Alexander,
the crown prince. whose possession has
made such stir, was born In 1875. He
is now, therefore, IL years old.
According to tho accounts, the queen
having been married, ut once commenced
to intrigue. Her first subject was her
husband, whom she persuaded 20 declare
war against Alexander Of Bulgaria. But
Alexander was the victor, and marched
his army after the demoralized forces OF
Milan toward the capital Of Servia.
Milan applied to the emperor of Austria
for assistance, only TO receive snub.
Here comes In the work of the in.
triguing queen Early ono morning
Count Rudolph Won Khevenhuller, the
Austrian ambassador TO Servia, went TO
Alexander and informed him verbally that
II he continued his march TO no capital
OF Seryia an Austrian army would march
In behind him. Alexander at once aban.
doned his purpose, and all Europe won,
dered at his doing so. II turned out that
the ambassador had no authority for his
net, but that having come under the in
fluence f Queen Natalie he had carried
out her scheme TO save Servia. The nm.
bassador was punished by imprisonment,
and Queen Natalie from that day natur.
ally became an object Of suspicion among
the European rulers.
