DRUNK WITHOUT pRlNKrna.
a Cheap and Easy Way of Getting
ss.IauSS

a Cheap and Easy Way of Getting o
"Jag.''
To that great army of men who re-
frain from imbibing deeply, principally
because of the uncomfortable feeling
which takes possession of one on the
morning after, it will be matter of
interest to know that there is at least one
method whereby they can enjoy all the
exhilaration of regular jag" without
the inconvenience of a swelled head.
furry tongue, or the usual arrangement
of the digestive organs.
The truth of this startling fact was dis
covered short time ago by a wine clerk
at one of the prominent hotels of a lead
ing seaside resort. 1t was his duty each
morning to draw the wine and other
liquors from the casks in the wine cellar
for use during the day, and in doing this
he naturally inhaled the fumes of all
sorts OF liquors. His work only occupied
20 minutes time, but that was sufficient
to give him what might be called "dry
drunk. Then he would sneak up tho
back staircase to his room, where a few
hours sleep would fix him up in great
shape, leaving him none the worse for
his involuntary dissipation.
At one of the large hotels on Chestnut
street, this city, says the Philadelphia
Record, there is an old fellow named
Thomas McElhenny, who is an earnest
teetotaler, having signed the pledge about
10 years ago, shortly after recovering
from aprotracted spree, during the couno
of which he lost leg in railroad acci-
dent. He has hit upon the "dry drunk"
scheme as a way to indulge his appetite
without hurting his conscience. He is
employed as a porter, and every night
before he quits work he takes particular
pains in cleaning up the wine cellar. He
devotes about 90 minutes to smelling the
bunghole of barrel containing partic-
ularly strong brand of cognac, after
which he staggers homeward with all the
symptoms of regular %howling lag"

ONE MILE A MINUTE.

New Machine that Can BE Made to At
tain ehe Speed OF an Express Train.
Some time ago report appeared in the
papers that Worcester, Mass, man had
invented unicycle, ON which he could
ride mile a minute with ease. Fe
boasted that he could beat the express
train from Springfield to Boston, but lie
has never made good his boast and has
been forgotten. A Connecticut man now
comes out with an invention which he ia
confident viii prove practical and great
success. Mr.. II. w, Loomis, of South
ington, is superintendent of the new de-
partment of the Southington Cutlery
Company. His model is now being
made by one of the largest bicycle man.
ufactories in the country, which pro-
nounces his plans thoroughly practical.
In general appearance the machine is
similar to those of the same class already
familiar in theory. The idea is simplic-
ity itself, being regular safety machine,

wheel is nine feet in diameter, and the
inner circumference, connected by spokes
to the outer. is feet in diameter. The
driving wheel is three feet in diameter.
and rides the big one a little beyond
the center or point of contact with the
earth, 50 that it is constantly climbing on
the big wheel. The plan is that OF
man walking inside Of big hoop. his
weight, when thrown forward, revolving
the whole. This friction revolves the big
wheel at every evolution Of the small
one, and gives the increased speed and
power. One wheel surface is concave
and the other convex, with one surface
of rubber. The operator rides a saddle
inside the big wheel, over and somewhat
uear the driving wheel.
The great speed can be easily figured.
The big wheel has "a feet circumference
and the driving wheel nine feet, so that
by every turn of the small front wheel
the machine is propelled 81 feet. BY APP
plying the gear action, as in the common
safety, the speed is greatly multiplied. A
mile could easily be made in two min
utes on good road, and the
speed of a mile a minute if the
operator wished to ride so fast Mr..
Loornis designs the machine for general
utility, and not as novelty in mechan-
les. He is confident that it will prove
successful, and has the, opinions of ex.
perts to support his own.

state that the rebellion Qor it is really a

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-A terrific
wind and rain storm amounting to al

about 1890 O'Clock, doing a great deal
OF damage to buildings, in the ruins of
ten of which several people were buried
and completely prostrating the telc.

been quite general. The worst damage
was done to the fine Metzerott music
hall, the walls of which were we'll adj
vanced to completion, aid were at that
stage of progress when they offer the
least resistance to It. The wind swept
into the high walls of this building and
part OF the structure went into a crash,
breaking into several stores on F street
near Twelfth, adjoining the Metzerott
music store. One of these stores was
occupied by George White, ladies' tailor,
and the second by GUIDE g. Brother,

Whites establishment, and were buried
in the ruins. Three persons were taken

DETROIT, Mich, Dec. 2.-The most
appalling catastrophe that has visited
Detroit since the burning of the Tilden
school, two years ago, took place about
o'clock this morning. Fire broke out
in the grocery store of George j. REFS,
332 Orleans street, and communicating
to the dwelling house overhead, smoth-
cred to death Charles Reis, aged 90, and
his brothers Josie and Eddie, aged II
ana years. The latter children were
found III their bed and the older boy
was discovered by the fremen lying
upon the floor before n window as If he
reallzlng the danger, had attempted to
escape by that egress.
The father and mother were found
locked In each others arm at the head
OF the stairs leading out into the ward
Ihey were burned to q crisp. Why
they took the rear steps may never be
known, for if they had taken the front
way they would undoubtedly have been
saved: AS 1t was they rushed into q
fiery furnace, for the cOnfagration did
the most damage where their bodies
were found.
Two other children-Max, aged Is,
ana Ioney, aged IL, and a hired girl,
whose name could not be ascertained,
e capped by jumping out of the windows s
into the arms OF the police and firelnen.
There was no means of finding out just
how the fire started. When first seen
1t was issuing from the front windows
up stairs, but an examination of the
grocery store showed an overturned
stove, and the damage done to the
lower story would indicate that the fire
started in the store.
