ALEAP FOR LIFE.

The marvellous Hanlon- VOTERS are
now travelling with the Adam Fore
paugh Shows.
They are the only aeralists who
possess the daring and are sufficiently
Skilled to perform the illustrious
Leotard's aerial achievement known
as the "Leap for Life.
They do this at an altitude of 40
feet in mid-air and turn somersaults
while executing it.
They are the born heroes of the
gymnastic world, and had they lived
in the NEUROLOGICAL age, would have
been raised by the populace of those
days to fellowship with Jove, Mer-
curry, Jupiter, and their associates.
The Forepaugh management have
engaged these great aeralists at a
salary of more than $4,000 for the
Summer season.
They have twice made the jour
ney of the world, and appeared be-
fore all the crowned heads of En-
rope.
They can be seen only in the great
circus of the Forepaugh Show, which
is coming here on Friday, May LIST.

pended last December, was resumed
on last Thursday. 1t is in charge
of Mr., Springer, of New Geneva,
Pa, who has a cook and a gang Of
twenty-five men employed.
A COW walked upon tae frail COW
ering over the large cistern in West
Grafton, near the U. B. Church, one
day last week, when the covering
gave way under her weight and she
was plunged into a lake of water
ten feet square and twelve or fifteen
feet deep. The animal was rescued

great deal of difficulty.

Coke Co. has, without solicitation,
raised the wages of the drivers and
laborers in the shaft at Newburg Is

most revolving and the crime hor-

and the crime was hidden by the
burial of the mans body beneath
the house.

ohrist,s Second Coming Before 1900.

NEW HAVEN, CoNN., April ID
Prof. G. A L. Totten, of Yale, in
speaking Of the publication Of his re-
cent mathematical calculation, says:
aSome papers have published that |
predict the end Of the world within
this century. They mistake. That
is their error, net mine ! don't
think that the end will come for a
million years, and | have not made
any prophecy about it it all. What
] did declare was that mathemati
cal calculation founded on Biblical
truth proves beyond peradyenture
that the Messiah will come again be-
fore the year 1900. | do not mean
by this that / believe the millennium
will begin in 1899. / think that is a
thousand years way. / say simply
that at His second coming Christ
will make the world better, as He
did at His first.

A Mexican Lottery Manager Arrested.

WASHINGTON, April 14.-The chief
postoflice inspector is in receipt Of q
telegram from Inspectors Maynard
and Clum, at Ell Paso, Texas, stating
that they had just arrested Nicholas
Leibheimer, the manager Of tue Mex
lean International Banking Compa-
ny, of Juarez. The inspectors ar
rested Leibheimer, it is stated, in
the act of mailing a quantity of lot
terry letters and circulars last night
in Ell Paso. 1t is further stated that,
in disregard of the recent anti-let-
terry act, this lottery company has
been flooding the United States with
lottery literature, and in order to
save postage their practice has been
to mail their lottery letters and cir
culars at Ell Paso. 1t is believed at
the Postoffice Department that the
arrest of the United States agent
of this lottery company will have q
tendency to stop the wholesale mail
ing of interdicted matter at Ell Paso.

His SuRerlnss Over,

The death of VIM. A. Wisong, an
nounced in the Neacs yesterday, car
ried sorrow to many hearts. The
poor old mans punishment was
greater than he could bear, and IN.
der the awful load, his weakened
body sank. The world is not pitt
less. A poor, lonely old man was
tempted in the days of his weakness
and decline, made false step and
desperately tried to recover only to
to fall deeper into the tolls, until he
was unable to extricate himself.
A mans reputation is like coral
reef, built up slowly by many little
particles well selected and firmly
placed. But it only requires one
slip, one misstep to destroy and de-
face it all. For seventy years Will
liam A. WisoDg had lived in this
community, working honestly and
faithfully, earning the respect and
confidence of his fellows, with no in
tention of abusing their faith. None
who knew him will deny to him the
most scrupulous and honorable
characteristics. What he was and
had he had deserved, and all who
knew him were ready to bear testi-
mony to his integrity and usefulness.
He was honored respected and trust
ed because he was an honest man.
Nor was he cold and selfish and
arrogant in his virtue, as if it was
assumed. He had warm place in
his heart for the suffering; he gave
his time and means to the church
and the poor, he visited the sick and
imprisoned, and sympathized with
and consoled the suffering and dis
tressed. For fifty years he did this
and cour' ed 70 praise for it. But
when his "a .4cAt became impaired
with age, grief and anxiety; when
bereavement had left him lonely in
his declining years and temptation
sought him for a shining mark, and
he yielded with no evil purpose or
bad intent, how prompt was the
thoughtless world to smite him and
sheer at and punish him A long
life work was shattered in moment
and all the good forgotten in an
hour.
Poor old man, his last great sacri-
flee will bring him the sympathy and
justice and mercy he forfeited a
while ago. His punishment has
been frightful. A conscientious,
honest and sensitive nature has had
to carry for several years the burden
of it's terror, shame and remorse.
Think Of it, you who have only the
ordinary ills of life to bear, think Of
this poor old man, homeless and
lonely, wife and children gone and
the spectres of an awful responsible
ty and impending exposure towering
in terrible altitude above his anxious
days and sleepless nights, and say if
his punishment was not cruel and if
his atonement was not sufficient. He
was not hardened thief, callous
criminal, but q sensitive man who
had made mistake and paid for it
bitterly-giving the sublimest evil
dence of contrition, a crushed body
and a broken heart.
He was merciful to the poor, the
sick and the imprisoned in his day;
he deserved mercy himself Be-
You'd the veil he has entered the
mysterious portals of the infinite
where human judgment cannot fol-
low. but where infinite justice and
infinite mercy will measure his
many years of duty and charity
against the brief faults and intense
agonies of his decling days.-Balt5-
more Ne,os Of Aprl 70.
