STRONG MEN.-The Roman soldiers,
who built such wonderful roads and car
ried weight of armor and luggage that
would crush the average farm hand, lived
on coarse brown bread and sour wine.
They were temperate in diet and regular
and constant in exercise. The Spanish
peasant works every day and dances half
the night, yet eats only his black bread,
onion and watermelon. The Smyrna
porter eats only little fruit and sour
olives yet he walks off with his load of one
hundred pounds. The Coolie, fed on rice
is more active and can endure more than
the negro, fed on fat meat.-Scientifc

Saved by his Wife's Ready Wit.

The Rev. DR.. Clinton Locke, the popu'
lar Episcopal clergyman of Chicago, made
a bad break the other day, but was helped
out by the quick wit of his wife.
On the day in question he saw a lady
about to call whom he was anxious not to
meet. So he said to his wife: "Now I'm
off, my dear, I'll run up stairs and escape
till she goes away"
After about an hour he quietly tiptoed
to the stair landing and listened. All was
quiet below. Reassured, he began to
descend, and while doing so he thought
lessly but emphatically called out over the
baluster:
"Well, my dear, has that old bore gone
at last?'
The next instant a voice from below
caused the perspiration to bedew his min
isterial brow and rooted him to the spot
There came a response which sounded
inexpressibly sweet to him just then. Ii
was the voice of his wife, who with true
womanly tact, replied:
eyes, darling, she went away over an
hour ago, but here is our good friend, Mrs.
Blank, whom | am sure you want tC
meet r"-UeUeldnd Plain Dealer.
HALF MILLION BOYS IN BLUE.-It il
interesting to note the fact than the South
furnished much larger number of troop!
to the Federal Government that is gener
ally supposed, and thereby weakened tht
Confederacy. In fact, nearly as many
enlisted in the Federal army from tn
Southern States as comprised the whol'
Southern army. Missouri gave the larg
est number, 100000; Kentucky came
next, with $4,000; Maryland, 49,500
West Virginia, $4,000; Tennessee, 10000
and the District of Columbia, 16, 900, ex

Hiding the Smell.

The medical faculty of the state uni
versity met in the presidents office yes
terday morning and talked over the
plans for the new medical building to
be added to the university property.
An appropriation of 100000 awaits eX-
penditure for this purpose. Only part
of this sum is available now, however.
The foundation only will be put in this
year. The faculty will recommend to
the board of regents that the medical
building be erected on the river bank,
in the rear of the main building and the
mechanic arts building. There it will
be isolated, and the eyes and olfactories
of others than medical students will not
be offended by the attributes of the dis
secting room. A committee was APP
pointed to select SO, 900 worth of books
for the university library.

THE EARTH TREMBLED.
Two Men Badly Injured in Pow
der Explosion.

der explosion.
E. Pearson and P. Larson, two labor
ers employed on the sewer at Monroe
street, near Fifth avenue northeast,
were injured yesterday morning by the
untimelv explosion of blast. The eX-
cavatiOn at the point named is being
made through solid roc K, and very
heavy blasts are necessary. Shortly
after 10 o'clock two blasts were set, and
it was expected that both would explode
at the same time. There was an explo-
sion, and, the men thinking both had
gone off as intended. closed in around
the spot. When Pearson and Larson
had approached within few feet there
was another deafening report. and
huge masses of earth and rock were
thrown III all directions. the two untOrt-
innate men being nearly crushed to
death by the flying debris. When the
smoke and dust had cleared away and
it was discovered that they were in
iured, assistance was called, and they
were taken to st. Anthony hospital.
Larson, who resides at 424 Thirteenth
avenue north, had both legs fractured
and badly crushed. and his face was cut
and bruised. He will probably recover.
Pearson had one leg broken, and sew
eral severe cuts and bruises on other
parts of his body. Upon his arrival at
the hospital it was found necessary to
amputate his broken limb, and it is
feared that he may die. Pearson lives
at Central avenue and Seventh street

Boat Club Yesterday.

Boat Club Yesterday.
The Lurline club regatta at Lake CAL
houn drew out a crowd of 500 or 400
people yesterday afternoon. The races
we're all holly contested and interesting.
The most remarkable feature of the re-
gatta was the showing made by Dan T..
Fitzgerald. He was the only man in
anv of the races that wasn't loser.
He stroked the winning double, pulled
in the winning crew in the tOur-oared
race and won the single scull race.
The first race on the card was the
double scull, one mile straightaway. A.
l.. Burlington and D. F. Fitzgerald won,
Charles ALI Williams and W. B. Gros-
kopf second, and D. F. Jones and w. W.
Hetfelfnger third. Time, $3.50. Jones
and Heffelinger, the crack college oars
men. made poor showing.
The gig race. one mile with turn, was
fought out by q. T. Brown and w. A.
Kerr. Brown won in sos, Kerr ten
seconds slower. a. w. Daniels,
w, B. Groskopf, d. L. Fitzgerald
and Charles Alfred Williams entered
for the singles. Fitzgerald won handily,
Daniels second, Groskopf third and

TWO BIG MATCHES.
There Will Be Il Double Wrestling
Contest aft the IT. G.. A, @.

Next Tuesday night the Twin City
Athletic club will give the members a
new sort of entertainment. Besides
athletic contests and exhibitions of all
descriptions, there will be two wrestling
matches of extraordinary merit. The
first will be between James Faulkner,
the welI-known professional, and Muir
ply, the local man. Murphy is conf
dent that he can defeat Faulkner. He
is willing to wrestle any 140-pound man
in the world. The other match will be
between Moth, the big German who has
a national reputation on the mat, and
Charles Lindeman. Lindeman and Moth
were matched to wrestle III st. Paul,
but the bout has been transferred to
Minneapolis. Moth contracts to throw
Lindeman three times within an hour or
forfeit $500. The club offers an addi-
tional purse of 500 to the winner. Be-
sides these two events. there will be as
good an athletic exhibition as Mime
apOlis can afford. There is a good deal
of talent in Minneapolis in the various
athletic clubs and Turner societies. The
best of it will be secured for this enter
tainment.

are made of five plies of material. and
of finer linen than has been used be-

desire to obtain 4 place in the ballet OF
"Tfe Siege of Vera Cruz" while others
wish TO see about the chances OF getting
