Lord Aiiesbury's Joke.

From a foreign Letter
A grim stroke of humor is being at
tributed to the Marquis of Ailesbury
in Wiltshire. A large supply of hand
grenades for extinguishing fire had
been ordered for the Mansion at Saw
ernake. After all the corridors had
been sufficiently supplied there were
still six of the grenades over. A
servant asked the marquis what
should be done with them. His
Lordship reflected a moment. and
then replied:
II think you had better put them
in nv coffin.

To Utilize His Daughters Corpse {
Prosecute an Undertaken.
The readers of the LIGHT will re
member the yellow blanket diseas
story which appeared in the cOlumn'
of this paper some few weeks since
which was obtained from the nigh
Waterman of local undertaking
rirm and the allegations of which were
emphatically denied by the city eaith
officers, The undertaking firm sudden
Iy grew very reticent in the maCtei
| of information which action was uh-
accounted for until it wasjust recent
ly learned that what apparently was
n systematic persecution OF certain
| local local physicians, was Deihg
| brought to bear upon the Gnoertaker
| from whose house the origin OF the
| LTGHT's story was supposed to have
come.
,Tne statements az made to the
LIGHT by q party who claimed to
know all about the affair was as
follows: Not many days ago
rne daughter of an old resident OF
this city died at the hospital of con-
tagious disease. The physician is
said to have summoned the father OF
the child and gave him instructions
as to the burial of the child. He
also said to him "you buy your coffin
at such and such place." The
father looked at the physician bewil-
dered, and remarked that he knew
where to obtain collins without being
dictated to. The physician tore out
a blank page of his prescription book
and wrote out the name of the
undertakers and handed it to the
stricken father saying, you will get
your coffin fro n this party The father
who suspected that the corps of his
daughter was to be used in the per-
secution of a certain undertaken, who
had evidently fallen into the physi-
cha MS disfavor, folded the paper and
placed it in his pocket. He then
proceeded to the undertaken from
" hom he at first intended to purchase
the coffin, and gave him the prescrip-
ton blank, bearing the other under
takers name. This is the information
which the LIGHT obtained, and I'm
order to verify it, the undertaken in
question was asked to show the re-
porter the name in question, which he
did. The prescription blank bearing
the physicians printed name, and in
his own handwriting the name of the
other undertaken was shown, and
the story, it was ascertaiped,
which had been told the LIGHT
man, was also told in the same man
ner, to one of the en-
ployes of the firm, by the father of the
deceased yOunp lady.
The original copy of this order can
be seen at the LIGHT Office. The
reader will pass judgment on this
matter, while the skunk-hunting
libelers for the king are invited to
"catch on"-if they can.

A Vegetarian Cat.

London Fleld.
The vegetarian propaganda Is
making Roadway. The latest con-
vert to the cause is Demon, young
cat, black as night, who shows a re-
markaOle preference for vegetarian
and farinaceOus over carnivorous diet.
Not yet schO0led down into honest
ways, he was discovered dragging in
triumph from the dining table large
cucumber in preference to lamb cut
let which lay equally within his pre-
datory reach. l had fixed mushroom
spawn in boxes IN the wine cellar and
forgotten the circumstances until
Demon, having slyly accompanied me
there, was found devouring q small
mushroom. stalk and all with much
avidity. Raw potato is preferred TO
meat; the hard crust of dry toast Is
cracked with gusto, aud l found
him the other morning crunching
and eating an eggshell. There are
no mice about; but Demon neither
! starves nor thrives.

THE ECoNOMITE's MESSIAH
A Chicago Pretender Who Aims at th'
Wealth of the Community.

SAN Francisco, Oct. 17.-Prof. Spear,
who was DR.. Cyrus Teed's chief lieutenant
in founding the Kereshan Home in Frisco,
is now engaged in exposing the secret
methods of the Chicago messiah. He de-
eIares that Teed's claims are fraudulent;
that he does not love the Sisters of the
Home with platonie affection, and that he
absorbs all the coin of his dupes. Spear
said: 'I've seen Teed caress female men,
bers all over the plantation, but when we
tried platonic affection on the women Of
the fold there was trouble. 1t cost $500 to
furnish Teed's bedroom, but the remainder
of US slept on S4 pine beds"
Spear says Teed has gone to Economy,
Pa, to secure possession of the millions in
the Economic treasury. The Economics
expect the coming of the Messiah, and Teed
is ready to personate the Savior. Teed's
brother is there, and he has also the support
Of John Dussf, one of the trustees, and Of
several women who have become members
