hibitions of strength that are bona fide
One of the most powerful men the world
has ever seen is Louis Cyr, who was born
near Montreal, of Alsatian parents, twenty
seven years ago. Cyr lacks half an inch of
being six feet tall, but he weighs over 500
pounds He has long, curly yellow hair, and
when he performs his marvellous feats he

strong, and thought nothing of carrying a
barrel of -four UP several flights of stairs.
Cyr never considered himself very strong
until one day when he lifted a wagon load
of brick out of rut. After that he con-

Cyr has lifted 1000 pounds of pig iron
with his hands and back and without US

pounds) are among his everyday feats.
Eugene Sandow, the European cham

Apollo and as strong as Hercules. He
only weighs 202 pounds, but his physique
is magnificent He is credited with hav-

 and which, despite is suppression, has just been made public. Mr. Parnell has been forced to admit that. so far as the books show, the statement Is a correct one. The ex- hibit is certainly 6 most extraor- dinary one. The total amount col lected for the plan of campaign
 was SfG0.0,D of which SiO000O came from the United States, Sl5o.oO0 from Australia, and S5ts0OO from Englsnd and other sources. or this total S1}5.,sio have been expended m law expenses.

Sl5.000 has been devoted to siIndries, another Sl5,oo0 is put down as mis- sing. receipt for the amount being m iilt katiah Dl tltt RfuSAtt~. Dul tit gentleman whose name Is appended to it declares it to be a forgery and the balance of Sl35,G)0 was distri- buied among the unfortunate ten ants for whose necessities the entire total was subscribed. The lawyers, therefore. have secured S1O0.000 more than the tenants and altogether Sl65.000 out of the S500.0O0 have gone elsewhere than to the people whom 1t was sought to relieve. Of the amount of Sl35,000 paid to tenants. Si.500, or S1, ,500 year fer three years has, according to the statement, been paid under the 'plan" to the owner of large campaign farm. On the basis of these figures the conclusion is reached that even we're Messrs.
