Is dried off, when IL will be found that
the punctures are deeply blackened by
the formation of the tannate of silver in
the superficial layers OF the skin. The
cauterization is said to result in an in
1ammatory reaction for couple of
days, and subsequently in the forma-
tion of crust or thin eschar, which
separates spontaneously in from four
teen to eighteen days, leaving beneath

At one time tattooed men and women
were great side-show and dime
museum attraction, but their number
increased with such astonishing rapditv
that the public soon lost confidence In
the gcnuincness of their markings.
The most notable tattooed man ever
fellow named Capt. Constantinus, who
Travelled for many years with Barnum's
show as n principal attraction. His
body was covered from head to foot
with oriental designs of birds, beasts
and images. The claim made was
that the captain, while on voyage in
the Pacific, was shipwreclsed and res
cued by band Of fierce Polynesians
who, instead of eating the captive,
made him an object of curiosity. Scien-
tiiic men frequently examined the tat
tooing on the captains body. Some
pronounced it genuine. while others de.

The fact is that while tattooed freaks
were paying attractions Chicago turned

an eyewitness Of the combat. sThe
battle was about over-only an occa-
sional shot being fired away in the dis
tanee-when two women, one old, the
other young, appeared ON the field from
some place of concealment and began
looking at the bodies Of the dead of their
race. They would have been shot had
it not been for the interference of an
officer-Lieut- Sickles. AS rapidly as
possible they moved from corpse to
corpse (the wounded were but few) and
when near the PROSTATE line Of waiting
soldiers they found those whom they
sought-their husbands. Low walls of
anguish followed recognition. The old
woman, mother of the younger, was
bending over her husband when the
daughter deliberately approached from
behind, covered her mothers eyes with
her left hand and then cut the maternal
throat with keen knife she had in her
right Before any Of the spectators

Seven Children Who IIavc Very Peculiar
characteristics.
Atkinson (Pn-) dispatch to the Ihila-
delphia Inquirer says: People in this
locality claim 70 have among them the
quecrest family as to physical peculiar
lty In the whole country. jacob HERS,
farmer in moderate circumstances,
has seven children. The oldest is six
teen, bright boy, but having thirteen
fingers and thirteen toes-scven on one
hand and six on the other, his toes be-
ing similarly divided. Next to him is
another boy, fourteen years old AS
long as this boEis quiet no one would
suppose he had any popularity, but the
moment he opens his mouth to talk he
loses all control of his hands, arms.
feet and legs, and they jerk and thrash
and kick around as if they've hunsr
on wires
The boy is as slow of speech as his
limbs are active, and in answering a
simple question it is no uncommon
thing for his legs 70 have carried him n
rod or more away before he is able to
artlculate yes or no. The boy does not
seem to mind his aflliction, and not only
does not hesitate to respond or try to,
when he is addressed, but is ALWAYS
ready to begin u conversation on the
slightest excuse. He can be seen al
most any day arguing with or explain
ing some point to:somc companion, who
Is kept constantly busy either in avoid
ing the involuntary kicks or blows of
the boys sprightly feet or hands or in
following him briskly to keep the run
of the subject.
The third child Is u girl, who is a
hunchback and dwarf She is twelve
years old. a boy next to her is deaf
and dumb The fifth child has bright
red birthmark encircling her neck like
piece Of red flannel. 1t is an inch and
half wide. The other two children are
twins, three months old-a boy and a
girl. The boys head Is covered with
hair enough for a grown person, while
the girl hasn't the sign Of a hair upon
the head, the little poll being as white
and shiny as billiard ball. The girl
is fat and the boy lean. When the boy
laughs the girl cries Justify, and when
his little sister is merry the boy sheds
tears and wells
Every one of these seven children is |
handsome and mentally bright. Mrs.
liiers is fine-loolsing woman, and her
husband is sound physically and men

SAN DIEGO, Cal, July l5.-[Special]--
There was serious riot here last
evening growing out of the attempt of
deputy United States marshals to ar
rest eleven sailors from the warship
Charleston, who had oyerstayed their
shore leave.
The sailors were carousing in a saloon
when Deputy Marshals Bradlove, Webb,
Wilson and Grether entered and ar
rested one Of their number. The other
sailors Immediately closed in and at
tempted to prevent the officers from re-
moving the man. Clubs wore drawn by
the deputies and free fight ensued.
1t looked for time as if the officers
would be killed but a patrol wagon ar
rived with reinforcements and the
arrested sailor was taken to Jail. When
the patrol left the crowd again attacked
the officers with pick handles, gas pipe
and other weapons. Tho officers got
away and the wounded were picked up.
Robert Brown, q sailor on the Charles
ton, died in few minutes from the
club said to have been inflicted by
Deputy Wilson. Another Charleston
sailor, Paddy Burma, is dying with
fractured skull. Deputies Bradlove and
Grethre were badly bruised about the
head and number of other persons we're
injured.
There is great excitement and threats
Of lynching all deputies concerned in
the trouble were made. The sympathy
of the community seems to be with the
sailors as it is said the officers we're too
