A Strange Diet.

There, gentlemen, there's no silk lining
to that waste basket remarked Press Agent
Fielding OF the Ninth and Arch street mu-
scum as Mckenna, the physician puzzler,
ripped of the rim of lamp globe, swallowed
it, similarly disposed of handful of tacks,
small screws and cigar box nails and then en-
tombed large live frog beneath his belt.
1t was without doubt most remarkable
performance. Not elevating, TO be sure but
from medical standpoint it was one of the
most wonderful exhibitions that has over
taken place in this city. The men who wit
messed the turn" as McKenna called 1t, were
newspaper reporters, and they were all ready
to make affidavit that there was no deception
practiced
Mckeuna Is a small man, and when before
the public wears a dress suit His perverted
taste first dawned upon him while he was yet
at school At years of age McKenna out
did all bis companions in astronomical feats.
The stones he swallowed were always the
largest and roughest, and the dirt he stored
away was always the dirtiest and greatest In
quantity. He has now reached that perfection
where he offers for the sake of science to
tackle tenpenny nail. He wanted to dc
that this morning, but his callers were more
solicitous of his welfare than he was. Nc

The DRftIa of tho Cufura.

Lord Wolseley's picture of the battle of the
future In his review of Col Maurice's article
on war is remarkable chiefly because Of the
confidence with which he relies upon the
elimination of noise: lone remarkable change
will be the absence of nearly all terrific noise
which the discharge Of 500 or COO field guns
and the roar Of musketry caused In oil great
battles. We shall have practically no smoke
to mark the position of the enemy's batteries
ard troops in action. The sound of cannon
win be slight and will no longer indicate to
distant troops where their comrades are en-
gagged or the point upon which they should
consequently march, What with smokeisss
powder and noiseless artillery all our old
idsaspf battle will be regolutionized. But is
1t not possible that now and then, at the
proper psychological moment, a commander
who suddenly served out some of the genuine
old roaring kind of powder might DO more by
the sudden outbreak of the battle thunder to
demoralize the enemy than by the unmasking
of whole park of artlleryt-Pall Mall GA

ADVICE TIL nurREEa,

crying with pain of cutting teeth7 If so,
send at once and get bottle of Mrs.
Winslow's Soothing Syrup for children
teething. It's value is incalculable.
1t will relieve the poor little sufferer i'm
mediately. Depend upon 1t mothers,
there is no mistake about 1t. 1t cures
dysentery, diarrhoea, regulates the stom-
ech and bowels, cures wind collie, soft
ems the gums, reduces Inflammation. and
gives tone and energy to the whole sys-
TEN. Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup
for Children Teething is pleasant to the
taste, and is the prescription of one OF
the oldest and best female nurses and ply
sicians in the United States, and is fol

Prison Labor Contracts.

A very excellent suggestion has been made,
which, II carried out, would tend to do away
with much OF the opposition TO prison labor
that Is expressed by workmep. 1t is that the
prisoners should be kept at work upon diver
sified industries Thus the shoe manufacturer
would experience no tangible competition,
and tho foundryman would not hnve the
somewhat just grounds for complaint which
have bean afforded him in the past. The
proposed system would be beneficial In all
save one respect. 1t would prevent the
prison labor from being US profitable as it is
now But as prisons should be conducted for
the protection Of the community and refor-
nation Of the criminal, such consideration
is Of very little weight, The various lines of
industry would be adapted to the different
intelGgences Of the convict, and when he left
the prison the trade learned there would not
be branded as a state prison crade.n-

A Xetcrnn,s Heavy BLOW

At Atlanta, Ga, recently an old veteran
of the Mexican and Confederate wars was in
suited. With these men insult is always fol-
lowed with blow. Buena Vista and Ma
nassas do not permit them to swallow insult
This particular veteran had hired q man to
repair the sidewalk in front of his homo. In
some alteration the man applied to the vete-
ran an epithet which no man hears without
feeling the temperature of his blood rise, and
the veteran struck him. Although he is
more than so years of age, he has the vigor
Of 40, and when the man who was struck
picked himself he felt as If he had been struck
by lightning. A policeman was at hand and
arrested the insulter, and marched him off.
The arm which did the striking has eighteen
lsadan bullets In it.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

The wealthiest Town.

A writer In The Manchester Mirror says
that the wealthiest town Of its size in America
Is Brookline, Mass, of which the assessment
valuation is s4D7 ,02s. The distinction
claimed for Brookine has been generally sup
posed to belong to Canajoharie in New York.

Admiral Gherardi Reports on Hayti.

WASHINGTON. July 23-The navy depart
ment to-day received a report from Ad-
miral Gherardi, stationed at Port au
Prince, dated July 10, There was no men
ton of any fighting. The admiral states
that Hippolyte was reported 20 be advan-
cling upon Port au Prince, and that upon
she beginning of the attack a force of ma
rines would be landed from the United
States ships in the harbor to protect the
American representatives and the inter
ests of American residents The admiral
also reported that Legftime had appealed to
the American minister, Thompson, to meet
HippOlyte and endeavor to arrange some
basis upon which the conflict between their
forces might be stopped; but whether or
not Thompson had taken any steps to carry
out Legitime's wishes was not stated. The
acting secretary states that if Thompson
did any act in the capacity of peace
maker, it would be as an individual en-
tirely and not as the representative OF the
United States, nor acting under any au-
thority of this government, which has all
along declined to recognize either of the
factions in Hayti.

sition was defeated and the convention

Theremainder Of the afternoon was passed

occupying the entire afternoon session re-
lative thereto, the section was stricken out.

A Hotel Swindler Caught.

CHICAGO, June 23.-Joseph Herzog, the
alleged vineyard owner from California,
who tried an old confidence game at the
Grand Pacific hotel yesterday evening, was
prisoner in his room last night after his
scheme had been discovered, along with q
satchel full OF bricks. Herzog fed, but re-
turned at 10 o'clock this MOI ming and at
tempted to sneak up to his room by the
back way. A detective seized HIM and
locked him in the room. This morning
Herzog, accompanied by the detective
went TO State street store, where Herzoe
secured S25 from friend, and with that
paid his bill, took up his decoy baggage and
left.
Herzog is the man who advertised in a
German paper for strong men to work in
vineyards i'll Napa, California. FIRES
transportation, good wages and other fairy
inducements were offered, for which Her
zog was to have a little money! in ad
vance as guarantee of good faith. The
hotel was full of men anxious to accept his
terms yesterday afternoon, but his game
was discovered and he fed.
