From the Ne,o York Herald
lizards.
AT least that is what Mrs. Miller says,
and she ought to know.
Having lizards. in Mrs. Miller's case,
does not mean the possession of certain
number of cold. clammy little reptiles in q
box or a basket. Mrs. Miller is very uu-
certain about the the number she has, and
she would be very glad if they were in O
box or basket" Then she could get rid OF
them.
Now she has to carry her lizards around
with her all the time. for the very good
reason that they are-it must be said, as
Mrs. Miller says it-in her stomach. Mrs.
Miller says they have been there for twenty
five years. in which time they have had lots
of fun, if she hasn't.
She says they squirm and wriggle and flip
around, and sometimes seem TO stand I'D all
at once on their tails, and other times to
wrestle all together, catch as catch can.
For three years Mrs. Miller has had doctors
trying to put stop to these reptilian high
jinks inside of her. But tho reptiles are
satisfied to stay right where they are and
keep on having fun.
Inc DOCTORS tnaL nave Deen trying to de-
coy the little reptiles do not entirely agree
with Mrs. Miller's ideas on the subject In
fact, they say she is suffering from that or
binary though disagreeable complaint, indi-
gestion, and that the lizards are in her imag-
ination instead of her stomach.
Mrs. Miller lives at No. 1856 Graham ave.
nue., Williamsburg. Her husband is in the
asylum for insane at st. Johnland. Her story
is that while a,vesting with members Of
her family in her native place, Baunach,
Unter Frauken, Germany, in August, 1866,
she went to spring to satisfy her thirst.
While slipping the water she swallowed sev-
eral small lizards. All but two she vomited
up afterward. Unsuccessful efforts were
made by doctors to get the others out of her
body, but the attempt was finally given up. .
Since then. Mrs. Miller says, the lizards
have troubled her, but not with such un-
pleasantness as during the last two months
Since she arrived in America she has visited
almost every hospital in New York and
Brooklyn, out has obtained no relief.
She has tasted for two weeks, but still
the reptiles wouldn't vacate. Oftentimes
she says, they will come up in her throat,
but when she begins to cough they slide
down again. She says she has consumed
countless bottles Of liquor and become in
ebriated many times trying to get rid of the
lizards but they still remain there. AS a
result OF their antics in her stomach Mrs.
Miller claims that she is unable to sleep.
Mrs. lMillers neighbors think like her hus-
band, she is insane, and that the countless
bottles Of liquor" she has absorbed may ac-
count for her gastroepiploic collection.

How Two Famous Paris Journalists
Outwitted Regiment


How Two Famous Paris Journalists
Outwitted Regime ent.
From the NetU YORK Sun.
Albert Wolff, the celebrated editor, corr
respondent and critic, who died in Paris re-
Gently, enjoyed the reputation of never
having been unequal to an emergency.
When Gen. Roeder marched to the elect
crate of Hessen with regiment of Prussian
cuirassiers to receive the sword of the last
elector, Wolff and the famous editor of
Figaro. Villemassant, accompanied him.
AS the railways had been torn up, they
made the journey in a coach. Wherever
the little army stopped for refreshments
the officers hurried into the road house first
and ate everything Ia sight before the two
correspondents had a chance even to make
their orders heard.
1--WE will die of hunger" Villemessant
reiterated. mournfully, after each recur>
renee of that experience. "The officers will
clear up everything ali along the road.n
wait until we come back and will take
care Of you" Wolff answered, and he did.
The first road house on the return journey
was the Golden Clock. Before it the COM
mand was, "Haltl Dismount! One hour
for breakfast The soldiers began MUNICH
ing their bread and sausages, and the Off
GERS broke away for the dining room.
Wolff sauntered along behind them, and
after they had shouted their orders he
beckoned to the landlord with gesture
suggestive of deep mystery.
Terrible, >" he whispered. "The elector
has been taken prisoner by the Prussians."
Good Godl Is that sof" the landlord ex-
claimed.
''Sol Why. he is right here. Didn't you
see that we were escorted by cuirassiersg'
And Wolff pointed to the hungry and down
cast Villemessant In the coach. But his
hlghnesS must remain incognito."
But the commander" the landlord in
quired Indignantly, "does he not offer his
h1ghnesS anything to eatp
You should know that his hiahness
would accept nothing from his enemies
Yes, naturally. If you will invite his
highness in, will lay the table in my bed
room. and he shall have the best in the
house,
Wolff hurried out to Villemessant, told
him the whole story, and returned soon
with his bogus highness. After the CORE.
spondents had filed themselves with the
finest Joint and the best wines in the place,
Nillemessant arose and, pointing to the
decoration on his breast, said: MY man.
you are loyal subject When sit again
on the throne Of my fathers, this decora.
tion shall be yours" Then he marched off
with Wolff without paying the bill leav-
ing the landlord In paroxysm of gratitude
and humility. AS the coach was driven
away. the landlord stood in the door bow
ing himself double, while Wolff and Vile
messant granted him gracious gesture or
two Of farewell. The next day the land
lord hung out the sign. "The Last
Elector," and it is there now.

TRAVEL HURT BY THE GRIP.

Not So Many Tourists Coming On Ac-
count of the Influenza.
Mr.. Watson, of Watson s. Powers of the
De Soto, said last night that the number of
transient guests in the De Soto had been
much larger this season than last. The
hotel has been pretty well filed since the
beginning of the year. The large crowds
in the dining room at meal time are
frequently commented on.
The tourist travel has not been as heavy
so far as was expected. The grip seems to
be largely responsible for this. Many per-
sons who had engaged rooms ahead have
been compelled to cancel them on account
OF themselves or some members of their
families having contracted the prevalent
disease, and large parties who had made all
arrangements ahead have actually been
broken up by the disease.
The tourist travel is picking up every day
now, though.

Some Of Its Attractions That Ought
TO Be Dispensed With.
While the paving of Bull street has given
boom to bicycling there is one feature of
it that calls for the attention of the authori-
ties, and that is the reckless riding and
racing Of inexperienced riders at night,
many of them without lights.
The bicycle at full speed in the hands Of an
inexperienced rider is as dangerous to life
and limb of pedestrians as a recklessly driven
horse. good deal of reckless riding is
done and the safety Of pedestrians demands
that it should be stopped.
Another thing that the asphalt pavement
has brought into use again is the roller
skate. Bull street is an attrac action for the
roller skater from oil quarters, and the
pavement in front of the De Soto has
come to be rendezvous for negro boys and
girls from YRmacraw and Frogtown and
other precincts who have become nui-
sance. The locality could we'll spare them.

RAIL AND CROssTIE.

lspTo gather the statistics from the great
corporations which operate the American
railways is not simple work OF a day or
SO, but takes time. 1t is only just now, saws
Hdrper'S, that 1t is known, from the 90 yern-
ment reports, what the railway business
amounted to Tor the year ending June 80,
1870, eighteen months ago. The mileage at
that time was 1873 ,597. an increase during
the year Of 5, ,S3S miles. This increase. It ia

was 43S miles, and this was more than in anv

about oneehalf Of the mileage is operated
by 40 companies. The gross revenue Of

A Collection of Crowns.

Invarious notes which have been pub
lished in the last two years there have
been given descriptions of the famous
iron crown" of Italy. of Victoria's
costly head-dress and other queenly
regalia- 1t should also be recorded that
whole collection of crowns is kept at
the royal palace (the Kremlin) at Mos
cow, Russia. These relics of departed
greatness-they nearly all come from
countries which have been subjuga.ed
by the tyrannical Russians-are kept in
what is known as the ssthrone-room"
of the Kremlin. Here are shown the
crowns of Poland, Kazan, Georgia,
Astrakhan and Persia, besides the
thrones and other royal insignia too
numerous to mention. Besides the
crowns of conquered nations, those of
almost all the czars may be seen in that
vast treasure house. The most curious
one of the lot is the double crown made
for Peter the Great and his half-witted
brother; the most costly, that of the
Empress Catherine, which contains a.
$50 diamonds of the first water.-Ch
