SINGULAR FREAKS
Played by Electric Light Wires
Broken Down by Snow Weight.

Played by Electric Light Wires
Broken Down by Snow Weight.
The heavy Snow of yesterday after
noon played sad havoc with the electric
light wires throughout the city. and the
wires, in return, made things merry for
whoever and whatever came their way.
The weight of the heavy, snow.
laden wires became too great in
many instances for the insulator
pegs, which gave way. letting the wires
down to the wet ground. The strong
electric currents shook up everything
with which they came in contact. On
the beat of Policeman Cor1nick at Sew
enth and Pine streets wire fell to the
ground and caused more trouble than
has been seen down that way sine the
street car strike. A man came running
up to the officer with the information
that a mad dog was rushing about the
street. And TO all appearance the man
was right. A big yellow cur was tear
ing around in a circle at au AXteli gait,
stopping at pretty regular intervals TO
execute a dazzling SOmPTSault. which
was remarkable for the utter aban-
don shown by Mr.. Cur. A pedes-
trian who took a lively interest
ia the exhibition started out to intercept
the dog in his course, but had hardly
stepped from the sidewalk when he
measured his length in the mud -Four
other men came running UP, and it was
not until they were all laid
low that they began to under
stand that something was in
the air-and that something was
a heavily-charged electric wire, with
which the dog had coliided every time
he came around. The street WAS soon
blockaded, and 40 one was allowed to
pass that way until linemen came and
raised the deadly wire. Another
line fell at Seventh aud Wacouta
streets. but it was discover
ed I'm time to prevent any
accident to pedestrians. a dog was
knocked silly, however. by stepping
upon the iron cover of a sewer man
hole, across which the wire had dropped.

Catarrh

Is a complaint which affects nearly everybody
more Or less. 1t originates in cold. or sue
cess;on Of colds, combined with impure
blood. Disagreeable flow from the nose, tick
ling in the throat, offensive breath, pain over
and between the eyes, ringing and bursting
noises in the ears, are the more common
symptoms. Catarrh is cured by Hoods Sar-
saparilla, which strikes directly at its cause
by removing all impurities from the blood,
building up the diseased tissues and giving
healthy tone 70 the whole system.

George Sinner, boiler maker, was
before Alderman Donohue at Wilkes
barre, Pa, on Friday, charged with
beating and deserving hisinvalid wife.
Donohue doesn't like wife beaters.
When Sbiner was arraigned and the
facts were brought out, the magis-
trate resolved to inflict punishment
that would make an impression. Get
ting down from his official seat, he
locked the doors, pulled off his coat,
ordered Sinner to do the same, and
then and there, on the official floor
and in the presence of 200 spectators,
gave the wife beater as thorough u
licking as any man ever got. Though
Sinner was game and fought hard,
the Alderman thrashed him until
every bone in his body ached. Pant
ing with his exertions, Donohue re-
sumed his seat.
There, you miserable ruffian," he
said, "go back home now and look af-
ter your wife and children
Sinner promised to reform, and
shuffled off.
That's the way l propose to treat
all wife beaters and deserters in the
future said the Alderman. 1T is
the best way to punish them, saves
costs to the county, and is better
than putting them in Jail and letting
their families starve while they are
there

Boycotting the Sugar Trust.

The knights of Labor are about to
open their warfare on the Sugar
Trust, and within a month expect to
fire on it. Since the decision of the
New York courts against the legality
of the Sugar Trust certain members
of the Executive Board have been
perfecting the plans of what is moth
ing more nor less than a general boy
colt on Sugar Trust sugar. The plan
is first to learn what retineries are in
the Trust, what their brands are,
and what wholesalers buy them.
Similar information as to the non
trust refneries is to be secured.
Then the knights, assisted by the
Farmers Alliance and other organiza-
tions, are to notify their retail gro
GERS as to what sugars are trust
sugars and what are not, and to as
sert their determination to cease buy
ing certain brands and kinds. 1t is
expected that in many States quo
warranto proceedings will be begun
to revoke the charters of the trust on
the ground of their illegality and
and oppression of the masses. If
successful in this matter, other trusts
i'm life's necessaries will be attacked.
1t is said the Knights hope to popu-
larize themselves very much by this
measure.
