THE GOSSIPER.

THE GOSSIPEh.
The newspaper reports from Cincin-
natl that several people who had under
gone the rejuvenating process by hay
ing the elixir of life squirted into their
veins were suffering from blood poison
ing, created quite a sensation yester-
day. There have been a number of eX-
perimentS tried here in the city by local
physicians, and every endeavor is being
made to keep the news from the
patients. Leading chemists state that
the elixir becomes rank poison after
1t is two hours old, and that its applica-
ton is decidedly dangerous. If some
of the antique individuals who have
been made young within the past
few days should here this it
would very likely prove disastrous,
They imagine, in the first place. that
they teel younger, and consequently DO
feel spryer under the moral impetus. so
if they should imagine their blood was
tainted with poisonous lamb Juice the
effect would be equally as bad as the
other was good. 1t may be, however.
Il a it is not blood poisoning at all, but
simply an eXemplfcatlOn OF the fire OF
life which kept "She" in such healthy
condition for so many thousand years.
One wade through the fire was all that
was necessary to produce the everlaSt-
ing life condition, but a second wade
would reduce the subject to his or her
normal condition Now, perhaps"
said a local physician yesterday in
speaking about the matter, ''theSe peO-
pie who are now sick from the use of
the elixir have had the stuff injected
into their veins a second time and are
simply in their normal condition again.
The first dose made them young again,
but the second brought them back to
where they we're before they tried the
experiment, and the contrast is so great
that it has made them sick to think of
it. See?''
The following note was received by
the GOssiper yesterday and explains
itself fully:
Kahn yew tell me for what John Barns
shud sell for his intres III the St. Paul bal
club for. A CRANK.
The Gossiper is at loss to under
stand why John Barnes should dis
pose of his interest in the st. Paul
Base Ball club, unless it was because he
desired to do sowithOut asking anybody
whether he could or not. John Barnes
has never made the Gossiper his con-
fidant. and as the GOssiper was not
John Barnes private secretary, nor
hired by John Barnes to act i'll the ca
pacity of a clairvOyant. the reason why
John Barnes sold his interest in the st.
Paul Base Ball club will have to be as
certained by asking John Barnes him
self But as John Barnes is not in the
city at present, the way to find out why
John Barnes sold his interest in the st.
Paul Base Ball club, before 1t is too
late, is to telegraph JOnn Barnes where
ever John Barnes may be, and as John
Barnes is a very Obliging man, he will
undoubtedly answer.
By the way, Pat KiIIen, the pugilist,
is having no end of trouble out West.
He doesn't seem to take kindly to the
Western mode of doing things some
way or other. He has already been ar
rested twice, once in Portland and now
again in San Francisco. Pat is a hot
headed fellow. and, for some reason or
other. has a strong antipatfy to the col
ored race. While at ZinnaDar, Mont,
he knocked an oyergrown colored indi-
vidual down for saying something
about the combination, and at Port
land he knocked another one down for
saying something about Billy Wilson.
Pat has a hard man to meet in Joe Nc
Auliffe, and he will need to pay the
Strictest attention to his training to win
the fight. In a private letter from San
Francisco yesterday, however, it was
stated that majority of the sports
there were of the opinion that he would
win.
Montana has had a little more than
her share of pugilistic combinations this
year. First. Patsy Cardiff, the Peoria
giant, and once the pride of MinneapO-
lis, went through the territory; next
came Billy Wilson, the st. Paul eolOred
champion, and then Peter Jackson, the
Australian champion, who knocked out
Cardiff in such short order. Then a
fighter named Smith made the rounds of
the territory with a galaxy of stars.
Next, George KesSleT, of Butte, went
on starring trip. which probably
proved the most successful of them all;
and last, bat not least, Pat Killen sailed
through on his way. to the Pacific slope.
Secretary BOYD. of the city hall and
court house commission, is probably the
best posted man, where agriculture is
concerned. there is in the city. He has
a passion for farming, and when attend
a session of the county commissioners,
or of the Joint commission. he sits
dreaming away of his neat little place
near Bass lake. He has a particular
hobby for raising pigs, and never is so
happy as when talking about his be-
loved Berkshires. He always feels more
or less bored when at the court house he
happens to get lot of official statistics
to go through. But when he happens to
think of his pigs the figures become
poetry and he settles down to do his
work as content as the next man.

One of the janitors in the new city
hall was grumbling yesterday about the
way certain room in the building was
kept. Said he: 1.-THE city hall is the
neateSt building in the city with the ex-
ceptiOn of one small part of it, and that
is not our fault. The surveyors have
room on the lower floor, and they keep
II in such horrible shape that three men
have been detailed to watch it cOntinu-
ally. | wish some of these people who
love to revel in filth would go away and
die.'
The Evening News now exchanges
news with the Minneapolis Evening
Star, and as both papers get the same
telegraphic Service-the American Press
news they can exchange proof sheets
with perfect impunity, and run no dam
ger of giving each other something ex-
elusive. But now that the Tribune has
absorbed the Star, as Mr.. Blethen puts
it, giving the latter sheet the benefit of
the United Press service, the two pa
pers will hardly exchange Geographic
prOof-sheets any more, unless, of course,
Alden j. can be made to believe that
he is getting the best of it.
A Royal Feast.
