samnie ca.s Of riackmailine.

Not long ago man we'll known in So
cial, business and club circles had trouble
with his wife, beautiful and accom-
plished woman, and they separated, the
intention being to eventually become d.
vorced. So quietly was the affair man.
aged that none but their most intimate
friends knew that they had disagreed, and
the acquaintances of the couple onlyknew
thai the wife was visiting friends aud
relatives in New York. In an evil mo-
msnt the young wife employed private
detective to shadow her husband, daily
reports to be sent to her. These reports
were sent, and the wife was astonished.
She didn't have any idea before what the
life Of a club man might be. Then, wo-
man-like, she determined to win her hus-
band back. She wrote him, the quarrel
was patched up, and the pair lived to-
gether again.
Their home was a happy one. The
husband forsook his gay companions and
compromising associations OF both sexes
and became domesticai ed. One night
there was knock at the door. The hus-
band responded; it was a visitor for his
wife. When the lady entered the parlor
she recognized the private detective. She
had been foolish enough to write him two
or three letters, and these he had, to-
gether with copies Of letters he had
written her concerning the private life Of
her husband. The wife had paid the
agency by which this man was employed,
but this made no difference. What the
man wanted was a loan, and he got it.
He has solicited several loans since then.
and has never been refused. In the mean
time the husband remains in ignorance Of
the drains on his wife's purse, but cheer
fully foots all bills.-Chicago Cor. New

Funeral ceremonie. in Madagascar

The funeral o6servances are very cere-
monious, as might be expected in a corn-
try where the worship of ancestors has so
long been a part of It's religion, and the
graves and vaults are reverenced as sacred
places. They are usually only shapeless
mounds of earth or stone, near which are
erected wooden stakes, eight or nine feet
high, with skulls and horns of oxen fixed
or impaled on the wood. These are OBJ
jects of worship, or at least Of special ven
Grafton, for they are the heads of bullocks
sacrificed in honor Of the dead at the
time of burial
1t is usual to inter the dead near the
dwelling house, but only families of high
rank build houses or raise any structure
over their tombs. The finest tomb in the
country is that of the prime minister, now
prince consort. 1t is situated at Isotry,
near the capital, and is very large, prob
ably the best piece of native masonry in
the island 1t somewhat resembles the
monuments of Assyrian art, although of
modern construction. Here are inferred

DYNAMITE fleNpsI
rks Authorities Trying to Locate III,
Persons Who Made the Purchase.

CHICAGO, July ia local paper says:
Attorney Dawes, Inspector Bonfield and a
deputy United States marshal took the
confiscated dynamite from Marshal Marsh s
Office and visited the establishments of sew
eral powder companies The object was 70
find out, If possible, where the dynamite
was purchased.
The captured dynamite is of what IL
known as 80 per cent grade" Only two
of the several Chicago agencies handle
packages Of this grade and description,
blasting power Under the state law, the
name and address of each purchaser is
taken by the agent, and his books there
fore show where every ounce of dynamite
has gone.
Ii there were but half dozen agencies
in the country il would therefore be an
easy matter to trace the captured dyna-
mite. As a matter of fact, however, 1t Is
quite easy to procure dynamite. Nearly
every country town has more or less deal
ers who. carry low grade of dynamite,
such as the one in question, the stuff be
ing favorite with the farmers for the pur-
pose OF clearing stumps and bowlders from
their fields These facts probably explain
why there was no damage done beyond the
breaking of wheel hange in the explo-
SONS on the % system, and also go to
show where the captured dynamite was
purchased, and who purchased it, No in
formation was obtained, and Bonfield sub
sequently admitted that any statement to
the effect that it was absolutely known
where the dynamite was purchased, was
too strong.
Donohoe and David, attorneys for the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and
Firemen, appeared before Commissioner
Hoyne today and asked that Alexander
Smith, who is under arrest for supposed
completely in the Burlington dynamite
plot, be admitted to bail. Commissioner
Hoyne replied that the marshal had the
prisoner in custody, and recommended
that the attorneys see him. The lawyers
went out and a few moments later reap
peared with Marshal Marsh, who said that
Smith did not care to be admitted to bail
until after the examination tomorrow.
The attorneys were not satisfied and ex-
pressed an intention of resorting to habeas
corpus proceedings.
The supersedeas was granted this after
noon and Welch's bail was fixed at s., 900.

THE FAST ENDED.
John Zachar Partakes of Food After
Fifty-Thrce Days.

Fifty-Three Days.
RACINE, Wis, July l3.-John Zachar,
the Caledonian faster, after an abstinence
of food for tifty-three days. has at last been
induced to eat His story is most re-
markable one, and, although much has
been said about il, the true reason for his
wonderful fast was not positively known
until yesterday. Some time during March
or April Zachar and his father had some
difficulty in reference to wages or a distri-
button of property. This 50 worked upon
Zachar's mind that he became morose, and
evidently caused him to undertake to
starve himself The arrangement of father
and son was complete, for during the entire
time of his fast Zachar's father never Wis
tied him, nor even inquired after his
health.
An old friend of the family learned the
facts and arranged fora meeting between fa-
ther and son, which took place Wednesday.
The two talked long and seriously over their
difficulties, and finally matters were settled.
Then Zachar declared that he would eat and
endeavor to live. Accordingly he was
given few spoonfuls of milk, although he
did not retain it, and at intervals during
the afternoon, took milk with pulverized
crackers in it. This did not seem to give
him any pain, but he could not retain q
particle OF the food
He seems unusually bright, and feels
certain that he will live. Zachar presents
revolving appearance. He has not shaven
since he commenced his fast, and his hair
and beard hang down over his face. He is
terribly emaciated being reduced from 1888
pounds to 80. His eyes are dull and heavy,
the lids dropping down over them as
though there was not sufficient strength to
hold them up. He reminds one of person
in the asst stages of consumption. His
skin is dry, and is like parchment, while
his bones protrude prominently from all
parts Of his body.
In reference to the new turn taken by
the case, local physicians say that it Is
probable that with proper care the patient
will live and ultimately recover his wonted
health. The local profession do not look
upon his fast as an absolutely genuine one.
insisting that he must have taken substan-
tial nourishment because it would have
been absolutely impossible for him to have
lived 80 long, Those who have been with
him constantly say he has taken no
nourishment for SO days.

Lawyers Ambitions.

Those who observe law and lawyers
from a safe distance have often noted the
different points which attorneys in vari-
Gus cities consider the acme of success at
the bar. The Philadelphia lawyer thinks
successful trial of famous criminal
case the pinnacle of legal ambition. Bos-
ton barristers look forward to the time
when they shall hold an infinite number
of huge trust estates, and thus avoid the
wrangling scenes of the court room. The
New York lawyer has universal tastes.
He is willing to be a railroad and corpora
ton lawyer, trustee Of great estates or a
criminal practitioner. 1t is all fish which
comes to his net.-New York Press
