1t seems like heresy to talk to the en-
hghtened people of this age of ventila-
ton and hygiene in their relation to
sleep, but still it isn't so very long since
IN entire family who were i'll recovered
because some one was careless enough to
break n window pane out and every one
was too i'll to replace it. Not 80 very
long, either. since a physician hung a
canary's cage beneath the canopy of one
Of our handsomely c~urtained beds where
TWO people were sleeping, and took its
ifeless little body from the cage the
next morning. A word to the wise Is
sufficient, and every one knows that a
closed window. heavy carpets, stuffy
curtains, fluids, vegetable life and food
OF any kind in any sleeping apartments
are not conducive to heslthful, refresh
ing sleep.-Toronto Empire.

A LIVELY JUMPER.
Malcolm w. Ford Writes of ].
B. Connolly, of Boston.
HIS GREAT HOP, SKIP AND JUMP.

He Made ~ Feet 10 Inches on ArtI-
noiAI Ground and 1t Brought Him tho
ChampIonshIp-HIs Best Records At
Other Events.
J. B.. Connolly, who is shown by the
accompanying illustration. is a resident Of
Boston, and although he has competed in
athletics but a comparatively short time
Is already very prominent as an all-round
amateur Jumper. He won the championship
on April u for the running hop, step and
lump, clearing ~ feet 10 inches, and nom
inally beating the best amateur record Of
~ feet ~ inches. The ground on which
he did this performance being Of an artificial
nature prevents Connolly's performance
from actually s~upplanting the old record
made out of doors on grass; but he dis
tanced about a dozen competitors when he
won the event, and he is without doubt the
best amateur in the United States at this
event.
He Is 21 years old, S feet 81 inches high,
and weighs 14s pounds in jumping costume.
He has competed in ~ffty-fve different
events, all Of which were scratch, and he
has finished first twenty-five times, second
eighteen times, third twelve times, and
several times unplaced.
His first competition was a running high
jump with weights at Oak Island, Boston,
May 30, 1887, in which he won second place
with 5 feet ~ inches. Since h he has
made the following records, all OF which
are so high class that they speak for them
selves: Standing broad jump without
weights, 10 feet; with weights, IL feet 8
inches; three standing broad jumps with
out weights, 80 feet; with weights, Ss feet;
standing high jump without weights, 4feet
8 inches; with weights, 8 feet 8 inches; run
ming high jump without weights, 5feet 81
inches; with weights, 8 feet 8 inches; run
ming broad jump without weights, 10 feet
9 inches; running hop. step and jump, out
Of doors, 4s feet 11H inches; indoors, a feet
10 inches. Most Of these performances
were made on poor ground, and in differ
emit trials under favorable conditions Con-
molly has beaten all OF these figures.

Finally long comes little Dave. His
father was In the sheep business and
Dave had been in the habit Of catching
lions by the tail and jerking their heads

The only handicap competition he has en-
gagged in was the running high jump at the
big games OF the Boston Athletic associa-
ton last February, In which he received II
inches. The slippery floor prevented his
clearing over 5 feet 4 inches and he was un-
placed. In practice he has tried throwing
weights, but Is nothing in this branch OF
athletics compared to his ability In jump
ing. He Is a member of the Tnmount Ath-
letic club and practices on one Of the famous
public outdoor gymnasiums owned by his
native city.
His style at the running hop, step and
jump Is unusually fine, and in giving the
step, which is where most athletes are
weak, he shows wonderful ability in recov-
ering and going on just as though there
were ne jar in landing from the hop which
takes place Just previous to the step. His
figures for the three distinct portions of his
favorite game are about as follows: Hop, 10
feet; step, ID feet, and jump, Is feet. Those
who are familiar With this game can see
what fine divisions these are, and without
seeing him perform they can get a capital
idea Of how he accomplishes such good rec
ords at this particular event. He conf
IDENTIFY expects during the warm months to
place the best American amateur record to
his credit, and as he has already come so
near it there is little likelihood hat he will
fail In his attempt.

FOR SPOILED MEAT.
Clarke Files Another of His In.
imitable Complaints.

Alfred Clarke, attorney and counselor at
law, solicitor in chancery and proctor in
admiralty, filed complaint in the United
States Circuit Court yesterday on behalf OF
Mark Strouse and against a very large
number of people, to wit, the people Of the
State of California, but specially the city
and county of San Francisco, the city Off
Gals, the members Of the Butchers Asso-
citation and one or two prominent at
torneys.
The complaint, in brief, states that
Strouse is in the meat business; that he
conceived one day the bright idea of using
specially made refrigerator wagons in
which to deliver meat to his customers. and
that the new departure worked so well as
to call down upon his head the enmity Of
all the meat butchers, whose trade was
being slowly but surely undermined by the
superior methods Of StrouSe.
The jealous butchers conspired to ruin
the business of Strouse, so says the COM
plant, and drew up petition asking that a
license of S75 be imposed upon all meat
peddling wagons. The Supervisors, ca
joled by oleaginous attorneys of great per-
suasive powers ana frightened by the c0ul-
bned butchers, passed an order to that ef-
feet.
The complaint then describes in Mr. J..
Clarke's own peculiar style how Strouse
was arrested under this ordinance. without
being given chance to deposit bail, which
he had already provided in anticipation OF
such an event; but was thrown in filthy
prison full of blasphemy and lice, where
defendants searched his person and pockets
and read his private papers without warrant
and against the law, and laughed and giggled
over said private papers, all to the great
humiliation of the said plaintiff.
Then the complaint, by way of climax,
describes the arrest OF one OF StrouSe
drivers, in charge of one of the hated wag-
ons in the Western Addition. In the cOun-
selor's words: "And the said wagon of
plaintiff, then and there filled with TOOTH
some and luscious meats and cooling ice,
the defendants captured and took from
plaintiff without warrant and against the
law, and said wagon the said defendants
then and there caused to stand in the hot
sun so as to melt the ice therein contained,
breathed upon the fresh meats of plaintiff
in said wagon then contained with bad
breath derived from stale beer and impure
condiments then undergoing the process OF
digestion in the stomaehs of defendants, so
said meat Of plaintiff became deteriorated
in value.
For all these things the counselor says
that Strouse wants general damages to the
amount of 100000 and special damages as
follows; $50 for a new suit Of clothes, go
for disinfectants, So for wasted ice, 500 Tor
deterioration of his meats, and $500 coun-
sci fees, making in all the nice little sum OF
$500, 705, which he prays the court may al
low, as we'll as to declare the obnoxious Sij
license fee order invalid.

A Sailor Who Would whip Two Men or

Scotty," fireman on the steamer Aus

termed jag"
He did not seem to appreciate the science
shown by the combatants, and when one of
them made an upper cut and missed he
shouted, IF l couldn't whip the two Of
'em I'd jump overheard" One of the by
ISLANDERS said, why, Seotty, you couldn't
whip ore side Of one Of EN-" couldn't
eh?'' retorted Scotty, :" well, if that's so.
then I'll have to jump" He then threw off
his coat and jumped into the bay.
After getting into the cold water in the
slip Scotty swan around until ropes were
got from neghboring schooner, when he
was hauled ashore. more sober than he went
in, and proudly conscious that although he
had not whipped any one, he had kept his
word by jumping overheard.

the stand his lawyer objected TO her testi-
mony on the ground that wife cannot tes-
tify against her husband. The objection
was sustained by the Court, and as she was
the principal witness the Court could do
nothing but release the accused. When ar
rested O'Laughlin had with him bottle Of
coal oil and some matches.
