Many of the Strong Men Kill Themselves
by Their Exertions.
The strong-man mania has subsidized
somewhat, says the Pittsburgh Chron-
icle-Telegraph. Three months ago it
was at high tide. Scores of opponents
were going about the country on the
museum circuits, the objects of ardent
admiration. They performed various
feats, some good and some hardly out
;of the ordinary. ALI issued challenges
iby the scores, many of them for noto-
triety Of course this kind Of business
developed numerous novices. Men who
Thought they were strong tried their
Hands, and as soon as they cultivated
{the sleight, which it must be admitted
is behind all actions Of this kind, they
Icould accomplish clever feats Each
large workshop developed its strong

of a developer, although the leading
opponents are pretty well developed

Practice of the sport is attended with
much danger. Early death has been
the penalty Of many. They exhausted
their vitality in the performance OF
herculean feats.

ACCIDENT AND INCIDENT.
Man and Horse Instantly Killed Neal

Homer Spaulding and a farm hand
named Frank Carpenter were taking
load of milk to the station near Canaan
Tuesday just after the passage of the
afternoon passenger train. No other

hour later, SO they drove on the track
unmindful of flying "wild cat engine,

When they were on the crossing there
was hardly a seconds warning, but
young Spaulding improved the time and

"AlI the Comforts of Home"


Gillette's successful comedy, "All the
Comforts of Home" will be played at
Jacques opera house this evening. The
New York World says: The piece
throughout requires and receives quick,
reckless acting to make one forget its
absurdity. The company employed in
representation is an admirable one, and
each member of it interprets fully the
authors ideas, so that the whole perform

dash that was highly appreciated.

Conclusion of the Brain.
About 7 o'clock last evening, Almon
Knapp, aged 20, young man employed
by Austin & Pierpont at East Farms,
was found lying unconscious in Mr.
Austins yard. There was bad cash on
his head and all efforts to restore con-

what he could for the injured man, but
at noon to-day he had not regained con-

is of the opinion that the skull is not
fractured.

not known, but it is believed that he
was thrown from horse. He is a son

Kelly says that his interview with the
Ohio farmers on the wheat question shows
that there is not spark of truth in the
of the Farmers Alliance have advised the
farmers to hold wheat until it brings them
from 81 so to 50. The farmers say that
they are willing to sell for 81 which
is sufficient profit. This will keep flour at
a level of Sc per barrel. The prices may
decline little more, but they are dragging
very close to bottom, and to days figures
need lose no one any money, Circum-
stances are now favoring purchasers to
an unexpected extent, and it will be
prudent for you to buy soon and buy
fully.

Better Than Ice Water.

In Great Britain. for toilers in hot

ries and iron mills. drink Is recon-
mended that is pronounced better than
ice water; better than the foaming ale
when it is brown, better than beer or
any of the mild drinks by which hot and
thirsty men cool their throats. This is
simply oatmeal water.
1t is made in small quantity by put
tind two tablespoonfuls of oatmeal into
glass and then stirring in cold water.
When the mixture settles the liquid is
drunk off it. This drink is more refresh
ing than either beer or simple water.
The oatmeal in it is nourishing, SO that
the man who takes it gets both food and
drink. The iron workers throughout
Europe use this preparation, and the
temperate men among them declare that
it is much better than either ale, beer or
porter. To make it in larger quantities.
add slightly over half a pound of oat-
meal to gallon of water Among la
borers in the Brooklyn navy yard this
is the popular drink, 81 pounds Of the
meal being stirred into an ordinary pail
of cold water.
The ice water seasons at hand. bring

the oatmeal drink, just cool enough to
taste agreeable.

The CHILEAN Troubles.

Since 1888 Chill has maintained her
standing as republic WITHOUT a revolu-
ton. That is long time for q South
American country, and as far as it goes
it proves that even Spanish blood may
be sufficiently Americanized for self
government. But, unfortunately. in the
very foundation Of the CHILEAN republic
the seeds of future troubles were plant
ed. The country at the beginning of
the republic was parceled out among the
conquering leaders. They hung to-
gether, and have been able TO govern
the country in their own way ever since.
Chill was republic ostensihly modelled
after ours The president was chosen
for Eve years, with the privilege of nam
ing his successor, who was put into the
Office as matter Of courtesy perhaps.
IN this way the rich governing party
always kept the upper hand and the ms
always staid in. But the present presi-
dent, Don Jose Manuel Balmaceda, was,
unfortunately. born with liberal lean
ings. He wanted Chill to be republic
In more than the name. and up with the
times In all modern ideas He was
elected president in 1886. Through
strenuous effort he managed to secure
liberal majority. that by act of congress
secularized marriage and graveyards.
This arrayed against him all the power
of the conservative and clerical parties,
and they refused to accept as president
the liberal and man of the people whom
Balmaceda named as his successor.
Thus we have the spectacle Of an adj
ministration that represents liberal and
progressive principles opposed by revolu-
tionists who represent conservatism. aud
practically the government of an aris-
tocracy. The sympathy of the Ameri-
can people, therefore, must naturally be
with President Balmaceda. One feature
Of this contest is that the insurgents have
possession of the nitrate beds, which
form the chief revenues Of the Gillian
government British sympathies win
therefore probably be with the insur-
gents, since British subjects have inn
mense interests here.
The army Went with President Balma-
ceda The navy. on the other hand,
sided with the insurgents. President
Balmaceda is man Of splendid physical
development and statesmanlike ability.
With him is the cause Of the common
people. Against him are the wealth and
aristocracy OF Chill, the power that has
governed the republic nearly sixty years.
