BIondin stiIl Active.

Thirty-one years ago NJ. Blondin made
his famous journey across Niagara Falls
on the high rope. 1t may surprise many
of our readers to learn that the veteran
gymnast is not only still living, but that
he was few days since, although now
in his 9th year, again astonishing large
crowds in the neighborhood of London
in the old style and with the old agility.
and daring. The occasion was a two days.
fete at Brockwell park, Herne hill, prior
to the handing over of the beautifully
wooded estate TO the public, and Blondin
gave his high rope (seventy feet) perfor-
nance twice a day. The hempen track
was not only high, but unusually long.
And upon it he went through a varied
entertainment of more than an hours
duration.
Appearing in glittering brazen arlnor,
he ran and skipped along the cord blind
folded (by means of Il sack pulled over
his head) as well as free, and subsequent
ly carried his son upon his back, stood
upon his head, and rode bicycle with
grooved wheels. His piece de resistance,
however, as in the olden times, was his
appearance with an oil stove strapped to
his back, which stove he balanced Gas
well himself} on the centre of the rope
while he prepared, cooked and '|tossedp
savory omelette.-Belfast News.

AN UNNATURAL SON.
Cut His Fathers Throat tn Obtain Some
Life Insurance.

I CHICAGO, Dec. ia crime of SUR
passing diabolism and dramatic sequel
took place to-day in little tenement
on West Chicago avenue. Carl Holtz,
an aged widower, lived alone with his
son Paul, aged 16. Tonight the boy
took to bed with him an old table-knife,
and after his father had gone to sleep,
raised up in bed and cut his fathers
throat from ear to ear, severing the Jug
ular vein and windpipe. The youthful
patricide then rushed to the West Chi
cago Avenue police station, and declared
that his father had attempted suicide.
When the police, with physician,
reached the house, the old man was still
alive, but could not speak. He had
crawled from bed, and on piece of yell
low wrapping paper, which was bespat-
tered with blood, he wrote in German,
paul Holtz did it, The paper was
the first intimation the police had of the
true nature of the affair. The doctor
bandaged up the mans throat, and to
the surprise of every one, he uttered q
few hoarse words. With his finger
pointing to his son, he said: 'You
have killed me, Paul, but can never en-
joy the money. God will punish you. .
A few moments later the old man ex.
pired. The money referred to was So ,00(
life insurance.

to be deaf" A man writes 1--WE have de-

to accommodate five hundred scholars

printed: Hereafter, when trains in an
opposite direction are approaching each
other on separate lines conductors and
engineers will berequested to bring their
respective trains to dead halt before the
