STORIES ABOUT MEN.
How Oscar Wilde was Greeted BY an
American.

How Oscar Wilde was Greeted BY an
American.
Congressman O'Neill of Missouri is free and
easy and bluff in manner, notwithstanding
marked ability and certain refinement. Last
year he made trip to Europe and formed
the acquaintance of young English actor on
the steamer. The latter relates that one day
she congressman visited the house of COM
mons and going out on the river terrace,
where members and their friends sit and
Mnoke during the intervals between divisions
and when some sixth rate speaker is address
ing empty benches, he found the actor and a
tall, well built and fashionably dressed young
man enjoying cigars together. Congressman
O'Nein went over to his friend, who intro
duced him to his companion saying:
"Permit me to introduce Congressman
O'Neill, of Missouri, Mr.. Oscar Wilde"
The congressman took the outstretched
hand Of the aesthetic with the cynical smile of
the man who believes he sees through prac-
tical joke, but lends himself to it, and said:
care you the everlasting chump they sent
Us to America a couple Of years agoT'
The aesthetics cigar dropped from his fin
gers and he stood aghast. Then turning to
the actor he asked in supercilious tones:
"Who is this a. wild American
persong'
Then he walked away, leaving O'Neill and
the actor dumfounded. Early next morning
the congressman took a cab and went to
Wilde's house to Philadelphia
Press.

The Iowa Meteor.

Jens johnson, travelling agent Of the
Northern Pacific, has brought to St. Paul
several specimens of the famous meteor
picked up from the spot where it fell,
twelve miles from Forest City, Ia. The
specimens out-charcoal charcoal in black
ness where they have been exposed to the
air, and the inner substance is steely
gray. The wonderful thing about them
is their weight. Though undoubtedly
metallic, the specimens are remarkably
light for their size, about one-quarter as
heavy as an ordinary pebble of corelative
proportions. AS will be remembered,
one piece, the largest found, weighed 10
pounds, and was purchased by Professor
Winchell, of Minneapolis, for $1O5 But
the professor only reached Forest City
with his prize. He bought it from Peter
Hogan, who found it on farm of which
he is the lessee. The owner Of the farm
has sued Hogan to gain possession of the
huge air traveller, and the specimen is
held until the decision of the suit.-St.

Salmon from the Delaware.

A true sea salmon, Salmo salar, was
taken in the Delaware river recently at
Gloucester, in Mr. William j. Thomp-
sons net, at the 4 o'clock haul. 1t was 8
feet inches in length and weighed
twenty-one pounds. When brought to
the surface it made frantic efforts to es-
cape, and it was some time before it was
secured. The fish was sent to United
States Commissioner Mcdonald, lat Wash
ington. This is the second that has been
captured in the river since its stocking,
about ten years ago, the other, which
was much smaller, having been taken
last year. Col. John Gay, superintendent
of stations of the United States fish
commission, said that he considered the
capture of the salmon highly important
as tending to prove the possibility of
making a salmon river of the Delaware.
The stocking ten years ago, he said, was
purely an experiment, and done under
unfavorable conditions. He thought that
if, under those circumstances, any sal
mon lived to return to the river, the
practical manner in which the planting
was now going on would be productive
of good results. Philadelphia Ledger.

WONDERFUL PUPPETS.
They Are Jointed as to Execute tn
Most Surprising Movements.

They Are so JOinted as to Execute tho
Most Surprising Movements.
M. George Bertrand, a talented paint
er, a pupil of M. Bonnat, who some
years ago exhibited a large picture
called ''Patrie," which had great sue
cess, has given up painting in order to
devote his attention exclusively to the
construction of life-size puppets, which
are SO jointed as to execute movements
of the most surprising kind. The Figaro
newspaper. which has taken the inven-
ton under its patronage, brought to-
gether yesterday an influential audi
ence to see and hear the first represen-
tation. The figures produce striking
effect on the spectator, who might imag-
Inc them to be the characters in tale
of Hoffman, taking form and life.
A violoncellist plays an air full
of sentimsnt and spirit; four dancers,
carefully dressed after the fashion of
the opera, execute ballet. A clown
plays with artistic skill on the violin,
and Spanish cOuple-the male dancer
with tambourine, and his partner with
castane ts-go through the most varied
Spanish dances to the tune of the
Espana of Chabrier.
The movements, the gestures, even
the expression of the faces, are marvel
ously life-like. The exhibition was
most successful. It was unanimously
applauded by those present. Curiously
enough, 1 have never heard the
pictures of M. Bertrand so much spoken
of as l have since he took to MAX
ing puppets. I may add that M. Jules
Simon, who was present at the enter
tainment, received quite an ovation in
recognition of his personal success at
Berlin.-London Times Paris Core

China and Japan at Odds.

In well informed circles the prospect
of war between China and Japan is be-
ing seriously discussed. The bone of
contention is Japan's claim to the Lui
Chin Islands as Japanese territory, and
as the Chinese are said to be determined
to fight unless Japan gives up the islands
In question it is quite possible that fight
ing may ensue. At all events, the
Chinese government is said to be ener-
getically preparing squadron for active
service, fact which perhaps serves to
account for the recent marked increase
Of Russia's naval and military forces in
the far east.-London Figaro.

An Unappreciated Organ.

Not many months ago a number Of
the ladies of the congregation Of Budge's
chapel, a few miles north of Mount
Pleasant, Tex, set to work by means Of
church suppers to raise money enough
to buy an organ. How well they sue
ceeded the organ itself was there to tes-
tify ten days ago; but, however much
it improved the harmony of the song
service, it left the unity of the congrega-
ton hopelessly broken. The conserva-
tive party was small but obstinately set
against this instrument of Satan. Sun
day the congregation sang in the old
way, for in the still hours of the night
somebody bad carried the organ out Of
the house and made a burnt Offering of
it, and only ashes and screws and wires
remained.

Ice Creams Riz.

Mother Frochard stood near the door
Of the Amphion theatre, and her cart
bore Eckings of hoky poky many.
Ice was high, the weather was cold,
and the soul Of Mother Frochard was
angry within her.
Yet the sun Was high, and if you but
stood well in its beams you might per-
haps-if the hoky poky habit were well
developed in you-obtain wish for a
licking Of the same from piece of dirty
paper. At least a score of small boys
felt the inward longing, but alas! like
Simple Simon, they had not the neces-
sary penny. They stood about and eyed
the chatting woman and her cart with
looks like those of Lazarus at the rich
mans door.
At length scion of wealth approach
ed, airily jingling several coins in the
pockets Of his trouserlets.
"Give us cents WORTH" he said
haughtily. as became scion of wealth.
Then Mother Frochard's ire arose.
GA cents WORTH" she screamed; ga
cents WORTH and she fourished her
ladle in the face Of the scion of wealth
in manner to make him blink. "Yer'n
get no cents worth of me the day. Two
cents lick this summers the price. Let
me tell yez that, young felly. Don't yez
know that ice has riz?''
The scion of wealth turned trembling
ly away, and when it was too late Moth
er Frochard looked as if she had been too
hasty.
Beware, monopolists. You may go too
far on this ice question.-New York

A Daughter Sold for 80, 500.

In village in Russia not long ago
lived poor family named Meaks and
rich man named Lapeu, whose son was
infatuated with the poor mans daugh-
ter. He wanted to marry her, and as
her father would not consent to the
match unless the young man brought
him money, young Lapeu stole $500
from his father and gave it to Meaks as
the price of his daughter.
An early wedding was promised. The
Meaks family, however, quietly packed
up their goods, came to this country,
settled in Meriden, Conn, and with the
money obtained from Lapeu purchased
house. Lapeu followed and traced
his fancee to Meriden few weeks ago.
He found where his sweetheart was liv-
ing and called on her, but the girl soon
convinced him that she was far from
glad to see him and that she wouldn't
marry him.
Lapeu then demanded his money
back. When it wasanot forthcoming he
attached the house to recover his So, 500.
One of Meaks' sons, who has been living
at White Plains junction, VT, was tele-
graphed for. He came and had an inter-
view with Lapeu, who insisted on the
return of the money, but the brother
persuaded him that he had better take
the girl instead. The brother induced
him to withdraw the suit by telling him
that he would arrange the marriage
shortly. He got Lapeu to go with him
to White Plains Junction, saying he
would set him up in business by giving
him goods to sell on commission.
At White Plains Meaks gave the
young man a lot of goods and compelled
him to sign paper in which he agreed
to return the goods in certain time or
pay for them. Then he left Lapeu in a
desolate place in Vermont and thought
he had seen the last of him. The young
fellow tramped back, however, and
made another demand for the girl or his
money. The son in Vermont was again
telegraphed for and when he arrived he
had Lapeu arrested for alleged embez-
element.
Hebrews who had taken an interest in
Lapeu's case sent to New Haven for At
torney j. P Goodhart, who procured a
dismissal of the charge and will at once
take steps to recover the $3,500.-Cor.

THREE TALL MEN.
How An English Lecturer Was Discounted


by DR.. Phillips Brooks.
recalled She incident a few days ago,
as I sat in Trinity listening to Phillips
Brooks noon-time talks. 1t happened
in the spring of 1888. The four of us had
gone to Europe together-Dr. Nc Vickar,
of Philadelphia, Phillips Brooks and
Mr.. Robinson, the builder of Boston s
Trinity Church. Robinson stands 6 feet
2 inches in his stockings, DR.. McVickar
measures 6 feet 4 inches, and Brooks ex-
ceeds feet in height Robinson is SEN
sitive about His length, and suggested
that in order to avoid comment the three
tall men avoid being seen together.
They humorously called themselves
"Brown, Jones and Robinson" A1riv-
ing in England they went direct to
Leeds, where they learned that lectur-
or would address the working classes on
america and Americans" Anxious to
hear what Englishmen thought of the
great Republic they went to the hall.
They entered separately and took seats
as far apart as possible. The lecturer,
after some embarrassing remarks, said
and seldom, if ever, rose to the height
of five feet ten inches. In fact, they
were a race of pigmies. He did not
know to what cause he could attribute
this fact, but he wished he could present
examples.
Phillips Brooks rose to his feet and
stretched his six-foot frame to the utter
most as he said: 81 am an American,
and am, as you see, about six feet in
height. I do not exceed the average
American in stature or weight-though
turn the scales at two hundred pounds
and sincerely hope that if there be
any other representative of my country
present he will vouch for the truthful
ness of my remarks"
After moments interval Mr.. Robin
son rose and, in stentOrian voice, cried:
Il am from America, in which country
my diminutive height-six feet two
is the subject of no remark, as am just
g little below the average. If there
he any other American here I hope
that he will corroborate my testi-
mony."
The house was in jolly humor.
Waiting until the excitement could
sbate in some degree and the poor lee
turer regain control of his shattered
nerves, DR.. McVickar slowly drew his
majestic form to his full height and ex-
claimed: 81 am an" But he got no
further. The audience roared. The
lecturer ran down the aisle into the
street, and the people crowded about the
three giants.
All! The board closes in fifteen min
utes.-N. Y. World.

INTERRUPTED MEMORY.
Two Remarkable Cases Recorded by His.
tOricaI Authorities.

torical Authorities.
From an article entitled "a Study Of
Consciousness" by Professor K. S.
Wood, in the Century, we quote as fol-
lows: During the Centennial Exhibi-
ton a big, burly Scotchman was brought
to the hospital unconscious from sum
stroke. 1 plunged him intol mass
of slush and water and piled great
masses of ice upon his head. AS he
gradually struggled back to conscious
ness, his first sensation was that he was
packed away in an ice-box and doomed.
When he came more fully to himself his
first inquiry was: who am Il? l said:
who are you?' This he could not
answer. For four days thatman lay in the
hospital, apparently perfectly rational,
wondering who he was. During all this
time his friends were searching, and
detectives looking for him all through
Philadelphia At last his recollection
came back, and he was able to give his
name.
"Some years ago in one of our South
arn cities man was seized by the po-
lice and taken to a hospital, where he
told the following story: I know moth
ing who am or where came from. All
I know is that I found myself on the
railroad platform short time ago.
then drifted into a hall and heard .
temperance lecture; goaded into fury by
the eloquence of the speaker, rushed
out and began to smash the windows OF
q neighboring drinking-saloon; a con-
gequent attack on me by the roughs led
10 my arrest by the police and my being
brought to the hospital. This is all I
know; who am I can not tell At the
time of the publication of the report OF
this case the hospital authorities had
not found out who the man was"
