The ST. Louis Globe-Democra4 tells
about a cranky invention Of a westerDer
who thought that horses are worked
too hard. Il was a carriage that ran
on four very high wheels. The driver
sat in front Of the passengers on each
side, like those On an Irish jauntiSs
car. The horss was underneath tSs
affair, and wiggled along with only his
head sticking out like a turtles. The
beauty of the arrangement was a 4foOt
belly band that went underneath the
hone, and when the concern started
down the hill the driver turned a crank
and lifted the horse of the ground, and
the whole business, horse and all,
rolled on together till a level road was
reached, when the crank was again
TUNED, the horse lowered till his feet
reached the ground, when business wa
Fesumed in the old way.
The advantage of the invention wae
that it enabled the horse TO ride down
hill; the disadvantage was that il
could not foresee and follow the wind
inR of the road There b no knowing
how much might have come Of il
mad il not happened that the machine
ran of the track n day when going
down a winding hill. ran into a guleh,
killed the horse, smashed the whole
continuance 10 pieces and hurt the man
50 badly that -hen he got well he de
clined 70 undertake the construction OF
another.

A Providence grocer wagered that he
could charge up a gallon of mOlasses to
twenty different customers who traded
on credit with him, and at least eight
een out of the lot would pay without
question. He did even better than he
hoped 70, as nineteen out of the twenty
pad, and the other said he'd see bin
wife frst and ask if il wasn't an error.

1t is Discovered That He is Very Wealthy,
and the News Unhinges His Mind.
WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, March 81
Strange experiences have been the lot of
Patrick X. German during the last few
man named Sullivan. l. was shown
that there was measure of provocation,
and the jury returned verdict Of man
slaughter in the third degree the next
day. Satm day prominent iron mining
operator called at the county jail to see
German, whose chief thought at that
time was with reference to the probable
length OF his sentence.
The mine operator made handsome
offer for his iron claim on the Vermil-
hon range. AS German appeared in a
proper state of mind to do business the
operator left him after making date
for another conference. Gorman's
counsel, upon hearing of the offer, made
an investigation, and Saturday found
that the claim owned by this convicted
murderer is valued at almost any sum
from 100000 up.
Following upon this were evidences
of insanity on the part of Gorman. He
apparently could not talk upon the sub
ject more than moment or two at
time, but would suddenly change to
some other altogether foreign A
motion for stay of proceedings will be
made and for commission de lunatico
inquirendo. German. is single. He seems
to have never dreamed of the wealth of
his claim, and it would appear that his
mind has been turned by the sudden an
nouncement, coupled with his loss of
liberty to enjoy the fortune.

portance Of his position and with the re.
spousibility of it. After leaving here
he will go TO New England to inspect
the wooden factories there. He saws the
people of Kansas produce a great deal
Of wool and he does not see why they
should not work it up into woolen goods
on the spot insteadof sending it east to
be made up and paying freight both
ways.
The new senator is of opinion that
there will be a third party in the field
in 1892, A conference will be in Gin
cinnati ON May 19, to consider what
steps if any shall be taken in organizing
for the next presidential election "At
this conference, says Mr. Peffer," all
the different farmers organizations of
country except perhaps the Patrons of
Husbandry and all the labor organiza-
tions, including the Knights of Labor
are expected to be represented. The OBJ
ject is to unite all the working forces of
the country. Another meeting will
probably be held later and then a sys-
tematic effort will be made to organize
the whole country. Lecturers are out
now. Meetings will be held in every
state between now and next fail to
organize the farmers and laborers, par
ticularly the farmers"
Senator PETER says he will act with
neither of the old parties except as they
favor things that accord with his sense
of duty, and that he will never follow
party for party's sake,
Among other prominent arrivals is
Hon. George H. Erwin, the New York
state senator, and the close friend and
advisor of Hon. Thomas c. Platt. Mr..
Erwin thinks that Governor Hill will
be in no hurry to take his seat in the
United States senate. He thinks also
that Mr. Hill will be the Democratic
nominee for president in 1892.

why Not Let Them Extenninate One

SAN FRANCISCO, March 8.-A very
large force of police is massed in China
town, as it is expected battle letween
the factions of the Highb nders may
take place at any hour. Sunday night
members of the Ep Ying Tong society
posted a challenge to the Suey Sing
Tong society, and both forces were ar
rayed for battle, when the police learned
of the meeting and dispersed them.
Several who were arrested wore coats
of mail
Later a Chinese courtesan was shot by
an unknown Highbinder, who escaped,
although the ten policemen were not
forty yards away His Gountrymen
knew his identity, but they refused to
reveal it. The trouble in Chinatown is
due to raids which the police have made
on the Highbinders' strongholds. These
criminals have been prevented from
levying blackmail, and the Ing societies
have decided to clear out The smaller
ones. The Suey Sing society numbers
1000 men, while the Ep Yjng has only
seventy: yet the latter refuse to abandon
their organization, and show fight.
