lie Smokes Good Cigars When Losing
and Poor Ones When Winning.
+ There is a well-known sport, whose
face is standing portrait in the gallery
Of Chestnut street habitues, who is
particularly heralded among his
brethren of chance by the brands of
cigars he smokes, says the Phila-
delphia Inquirer. If he wins heavily
on the track all his friends know it
by the terrific smell of the vile tobacco
in his smokers. If he is loser they
are aware Of it by the delicate perfume
of the curling smoke of the wreaths of
a fragrant Havana. What induces the
follower of the goddess of chance to
thus contrarily denote his financial con-
dition never could be learned until a
week ago, when the quality of his
cigar was SO eXecrable as to call forth q
protest from his comrades, and then he
said:
''It's my only superstition, boys. If 1
win and should smoke a good cigar
lucl'd go back on me so hard the next
day I'd be in the poor-house in q week.
But if am Il loser never very heavy,

Conchas, dye see? I'll call the turn on

form then's when I draw on cigars
made from cabbages. It's my expert
cnee that bad cigars and good luck are
friends and IIavanas travel in the wake

lie Lives In BoRota and His Age Is One
Hundred and Eighty Years.
The oldest man in the world is citi-
rem OF Bogota, in the Republic of San
Salvador. This new Mcthuselah, says
the Chicago Tribune, declares that he is
one hundred and eighty years old, and
1t would seem he flatters himself, for his
neighbors give the assurance that he Is
older than he says he is. r.
He is half-breed named Michael
Soils, whose existence was revealed to
DR.. Louis Hernandez by one of the Old
est planters in the locality, who as q
child knew Soils as a centenarian. They
have found in 1913 his signature among
those of persons who contributed to the
building of Franciscan convent which
exists near San Sebastian. His skin is
like parchment, his long hair of the
wilderness of snow envelops his head
like turban, and his look is so keen
that it made a disagreeable impression
on the doctor.
Interrogated by the doctor, he an
swercd complaisantly that his great age
was due to his regular mode of living,
and to his never giving up to any ex-
cess of any sort whatever.

THEY WANT DoNNELLY,

The Chicago newspapers are crying
for DoNNELLY. They want him to come
down to the Windy City and debate the
SHAKESPEARE question with ROBERT
q. 1NGERsoLL. They say that NIGER
SOIL is the more sympathetic speaker,
but that DONNELLY reasons moIe logic
ally than the Illinois orator, and they
promise the two large audience if they
will only hire hall and begin.
All the GLOBE has to remark is that
if they want DoNNELLY in Chicago, or
anywhere else, they can have him, and
that there is no one in Minnesota who
Will stop them. They can have him in
any of the shades of cap and bells in
which he performs before the public
gaze, and if they want his entire ward
robe as we'll as himself, Minnesota is
not at all like PHARAOH. She Will let
this one of her people 60.
The GLOBE cordially recommends
DONNELLY to the worlds fair directo-
rate as having qualities which will equip
him to make permanent exhibition of
himself, and suggests that, if once Sc
cured, he be kept until 1898 is ended.
If the matter of expense is any consid-

amount. They may think so in Chicago,
but those who know him best say that

AJUROR AS WITNESS,

There was tine when the law was
very strict and artificial in the matter
qualifications for the witness stand.
1t prescribed that this man might not
testify in ease in which that man was
interested because he held certain re-
iations toward him, and that that man
might not be heard where this mans
life or property was at stake because he
held certain other relations towards
him. Of recent years legislation has
been in the other direction, and the
tendency now is to have all the facts
come out, 10 matter from what source,
SO that the court may know the stu
alton fully before it is called on to
decide.
An Interesting illustration of this is
afforded by a recent trial in New York
City. There one of the jurors in the
case showed by the questions he asked
the witness that he was an expert on
the matter in controversy, and the de-
tense called him to the stand to testify
on its behalf. The plaintiff objected
that he was not competent, but the
judge presiding ruled otherwise quot
ing a Massachusetts precedent to sus-
tain his position. He was thereupon
sworn, told what he knew for the en-
hghtenment of all concerned, and then
returned to the jury box to pass on all
the evidence, including his own.

AN INCONVENIENCE.

Oregon is so far away that it has not
competed with the Dakotas or Chicago
for the divorce business, but it is re-
ported to be one of the broadest-gauge
states in matrimonial relations. Con-
sent to wedlock in the presence of a
specified party and two witnesses con-
stitutes it. Two parties out there, Mrs.
LAKE and Mr.. PECK, entered into a
written contract to live as husband and
wife, but reserved to either of them the
right to terminate the contract ON a
months notice. Possibly they would
have had no trouble had they renamed
in Oregon, but they happened to be in
Boston when they desired to close out
the deal, and went into court, but the
judge held that the contract was not
good in that climate. He would not
recognize them as having been married.
This shows the practical inconvenience
of having different matrimonial systems

WANT PENSIONS.

The recent losses of life among the
railway postal clerks. by accidents to
trains, has induced demand that this
class of officials shall be put On the pen
sion list. There is good deal of pIau-
Slbllity to the demand. They are officials
rendering the country an important
rvice at considerable risk to life or
limb. They occupy the position on the
train most exposed to disaster The
men on the locomotive have a chance
to see danger and escape. Passengers
Oh the train rarely meet disaster except
by their own carelessneSs. The postal
agents have no intimation when one
train meets another or a smash-up is
coming. If they insure their lives they
must pay the higher rates due to their
hazardous ayOcation. 1t is assumed
that their service shares the perils of
military duty and should have the same
recognition in the way of pensions. But
the country is quick to frown upon
anything that threatens to extend the
pension list into civil life. That feat
ure of old world policies is jealously
guarded against. 1t is so evident that
new line of invasion Of the public treas
ury that the parties interested are re-
ported to be pushing a scheme not in
volving any expense to the government.
They would have the government merely
take charge of it for them. as an act of
courtesy and convenience. 1t is de-
signed to cover not only postal agents,
but all clerks in departments in Wash
ingtou. Aside from the connection of
the government, it is quite commenda-
bic and proper. The proposition is to
deduct per cent from the salaries of
all in these branches of service, and
form relief fund for those too old
for the full work, OF who have
become disabled. Congress is to
be asked to make this part
of the civil service and allow the treas
ury department TO transact all the bust
ness for them. This looks unObiection-
able. but it brings the matter so near
the treasury that it would be constant
temptation to get inside. Congress
would after little be asked to guaran-
the the payments, or induced to raise
the salaries to cover the per cent.
There are already associations enough
TO cover all needs of protection to the
clerks in the departments. They have
as good pay as clerks in business, and
can look out for themselves. The rail
way postal clerks incur constant danger
in the line of duty, and there is reason
in providing for them. The govern
ment could properly afford some as
surance. in case they are killed in sery-
ice, that their dependent ones should
receive payment for death loss, or
continuation of their salary for speci-
fed time.

element do not quite dare to defeat all
action, but they have saddled it with
such odious provisions that the friends
Of reform can not support 1t. In this
shape they have passed it in the senate.
The Republican papers that are for an
honest ballot denounce it as ga fraud,
delusion and snare" 1t puts the
ballot in the control of the bosses
to greater extent than does the
old system. 1t is SO palpably betrayal
of pledges and burlesque upon reform
that there is hardly an attempt to de-
fend it. Attention is called to it from
the fact that it represents the policy of
the man who is kept at the head of the
Republican national committee, and
whose corrupt practices gave the party
its success at the last general election.
1t is believed that an effective enfor ce-
ment of an honest system would cut off
one-half of the enormous majority the
Republicans count in Philadelphia when
they expect to need it.
