A MILLIONAIRE FOR A DAY.
A story comes from New Phila-
delphia, Ohio, to the following eff
feet: George Sluthour, born and
raised in this place poor boy,
started west about fifteen years ago
determined to make his fortune.
He became faro gambler and in a
few years was worth 100000.
Sluthour was anxious to be worth
a million before returning to his old
home, and one night, when the room
was full of well-known sporting
men, many of them worth their half
million, he determined to try for a
big strike. Luck again favored him,
and by 8 o'clock in the morning he
had broken the bank and won
enough to make his fortune count
a cool million. He was not salts
fed with this, but kept on playing
the next night. That very night he
began losing, and before morning
every dollar he had won the night
before had vanished. He was a
millionaire, however, for one short
day. Even with this loss he was
possessed of an ample fortune, but
he began playing a desperate game,
risking thousands of dollars at a
time, but luck was against him.
His princely fortune entirely dis
appeared. The sad sequel to the
case is that he has been brought
home hopelessly insane. Finally
it was found necessary to take him
to the county infirmary, where he
is now confined in the insane ward.

health officer Of the town found an
old sick gray horse in the factory
grounds which was to be made into
succulcnt sausages. The stencil
from the factory caused an investi-
cation to be made. Myer, the pro-
prietor, has not carried on the bus
mess many months, but he peddled
The horse meat sausages through all
The Long Island towns, and even in
Brooklyn. The purchasers of the

THE RUSSIAN SNEEZE.
One is quite willing to indulge
he Russian fad to a reasonable ex-
ent, but there should be a line
lrawn against Improbable inartist-
C and disagreeable inovations. An
eastern exchange says:
We have been faithfully disportlng our
elves with Russian teas and samovars;
We have been reading Russian authors and
wearing Russian gowns, but when it comes
