The Meanest Man in the World.

A Columb ia professor says that the
alleged meanest man in the world was
pointed out to him in Chicago. Hitherto
it has been supposed that he lived in
New York He is named Hunham, and
owns a tract of several acres in Ken
wood, handsome suburb of the windy
city. He has steadily refused to sell or
to allow any improvement. Streets,
however, were put through his prop
erty. for which he was duly assessed.
Under our law this would be difficult In
New York city without the owners
consent. Witness One Hundred and
Eighth street, now covered by Lion
Park. east OF ninth avenue. To revenge
himself for the assessment, this expo
nent of landlordisn is said to have put
up six or eight shanties, just in the
heart of the finest neighborhood. The
neighbors are Disguised, but the gentle
man is entitled to his pound of flesh,
and until the single tax comes they are
powerleSs.

THE present revolt in Chilli is pro-

W. A. Edwards, of Denver. Col, who
was for ten years resident of Valpa-
raise. Chill is nominally repu bic,
SAYS the doctor, but practically it has
long been an oligarchy controlled by
thirty or forty rich and influential land
lord families. While the rising is NOM
inally one against the president it is in
reality directed against the system of
which he is the representative, and
while the personal causes for complaint
brought matters to a focus they had
little to do with the origin of the trou-

been in the interest of the landlord
class, and the people have been as com

It was seven weeks before she left
the bedroom to which he carried her.
He had been one of the tenderest and
most patient of nurses, but the word
''parlor" had never passed either his
lips or hers during all that time.
She had thought much about it, how
ever, but not with pride or pleasure,
because she had no hope that Jared
would ever enter it now. and the wall
paper could not be removed.
He carried her out tenderly and gently
the first time she left her room.
Want me to carry We into the par
lor, Marthy?" he asked after he had
her in his arms Its sunny and bright
in there. I've got a good ire in the
stove and the-the-wall paper shines
beautifully"
She looked up with shining eyes and
the first flush there had been in her
cheeks for many weeks
If you trould carry me in and lay me
on the sofy awhile, Jared.
''Why-I-I-Oh. Jared. What does
1t mean? 1 thought you-Oh, Jared.'
for as he carried her out into the dining
room and through the sitting-room to
the hall she saw that all the once bare
and cold and staring white walls We're
covered with more expensive and beau
tiful paper than she herself would have
bought
There was . warm, red and black
carpet on the hall floor. new carpet
for the sitting-room, new and pretty
chairs and tables here and there. and a
mirror in gilt frame between the two
front parlor windows that reached
nearly from the floor to the ceiling

MAKING A NEW SCALP.
a Pennsylvania Eoctor to Try Grating
Operation Which viii be AnI-
fousiy Watched.
Philade!nhia Record.

Kate Desler of Mannheim, Pa, who had
| her scalp torn completely of about year
| ago by having her hair caught in the ma
| chiucry Of Il mil. has been removed from
| st. Joseph's hospital and is now an inmate
| Of the PENNSYLVANIA hospital. For the past
| six months efforts have been made to graft
4 new scalp in place of the one provided by
nature, but so farthc operation has not been
attended Ly any great decree of success.
DR.. John II. Packard. who has had charge
of the case, said yesterday that the patient
| had been moved because the surroundings
| at the Pennsylvania hospital We're more
favorable TO the case. He will be assisted
by DR.. Gillian and other members of the
hospital staff.
The operation is one of the most curious
in the annals of surgery, and its progress
has been watched by the members of the
profession with the keencst interest. the
scalp has been severed from the head as by
razor, and the only covering TO the skull
is the tissue upon which the new skin is
being grated. Formerly the new skin
was grated in the minuteSt PARTICLES, each
graft being scarcely larger than the head
of 4 pin, conforming to the theory that the
smaller the graft the more readily would it
take root. This theory, however has not
worked satisfactorily, and at the Pennsvl-
vanla hospital larger pieces will be tried.
At the latter institution less difficulty will
be experienced in procuring skin for the
operation.
Another feature of the case which will be
attempted is the grating of pair of eye
brows. At present Miss Degler has great
difficulty in closing her eyes, owing to the
contraction of the skin at the edge of the
would over her eyes. She has preserved
the fine head of hair of which she was so
proud before the accident deprived her OF
it, and in case the grating process proves
successful will have a yviU T11dp and yat
be able to say truthfully that she wears her
own hair.
DIR. Packard is quite sanguine Of success.
and says if the case turns out to his salts
faction Miss Degler will be exhibited before
several scientific societies.

AUTUMN.


BY HARRY EDWARDS.
Now comes the saddest time Of all the year,
When nature feels the iron hand OF death:
The north wind comes with cold and blighting
breath;
The harbinger Of winter bleak and drear.
From leaden skies descends the chilling rain,
And through bare branches. lately all aslow,
The wind with plaintive sadness ulurnurs low
Its melancholy song with sad refrain.
All nature seems TO mourn-on every hand
The signs OF dissolution and decay
Speak Of & summer that has passed away.
A pail of gloom now settles o er the land.
