Valuable Facts Learned By Bandmen.
Gideon band, a new, but nevertheless
efficient musical organization of this
city. played in the Catholic Columbian
parade in Philadelphia last night, under
the leadership Of w. H. Whitelock Al
though the musicians marched nineteen
miles ova Belgian blocks and sharp
cobblestones, they learned two very valu-
able things The first was that the
music that a band makes does not depend
ON the number of horns in the band, but
the true worth of the men behind the
horns, every time They also learned that
Tuba Soloist George Wright can play
twenty four hours without food or rest.

DAWsoN'S GAME.
A ~. Louis Drummer in the Role OF
Bigamist,

HAwESvGLI.R KY, Feb. S.-The great
est sensation that has been produced in
this county for years is now at its high
est point in aud around Skillman station,
about five miles from here In large
two-story brick mansion ON beautiful
farm lives John II. Robbins. Il highly re-
speCted and prosper Gus farmer, who has
raised a large and interesting family,
most of whom have married and settled
around the old home except Laura, the
belle and beauty of the family. In the
summer of 1889 J. Z. Dawson. who rep
resented himself to be an agent of a St.
Louis range company, called at the Rob
bins mansion and for several days par
took of its hospitality and was intro
duced to Miss Laura. In short time
he returned, and it was plain that all his
attention was directed toward the fair
daughter of the host. Finally AN at
tachment sprang up between them. a
marriage followed soon after, and the
couple left for Wichita Kas., where
they lived happily for a short while and
from there went on tour through the
south and returned to the Robbins home
Ill April, 1890, where Dawson persuaded
his wife to remain, telling her that his
company had decided to send him to
Europe on business. and that he would
travel through England, France and
Germany and be gone probably a year
or more.
In reasonable time she received a
letter from him, dated and postmarked
London. Eng, and which purported to
have been sent to the st. Louis firm, ana
by them sent to Mrs Dawson in Ken
lucky. Then came similar letters from
Paris, Hamburg and other points. At
last, by some mistake, he placed the re-
quired amount Of United States postage
on the letter postmaIlIed in Germany.
This led to an investigation, which de-
Neloped the fact that Dawson had never
gone to Europe mt all but is now. and
was at the time of his marriage to Miss
Robbins, a man Of family and living
with his wife and children at Belmont.

Mrs. Robbins Dawson. her father and
brother-in-law, left here for the latter
place to secure Dawson's arrest. He
will either be prosecuted there or held
until requisition can be obtained for
his return to this place for trial.

JOKE ON THE HILLiTES.

Nearly month ago special dis
patch was sent from Washington to
the Hill organs recounting scene in
the house when Hill, at the close of an
executive session of the senate, put
on his hat. and buttoning his Prince
Albert coat close about him, stroled
quietly over to the house. Mr., Hill
entered quietly at the north door, says
the dispatch, and although there was
hot debate in uprogress, when
Amos Cummings saw HIM, Amos said.
There's the governor and that a
number of others recognized
Mr.. Hill at the same time and by a
common impulse left their seats to
greet him. The dispatch said great
deal more; it went'on to tell how the
business of the house was chopped
right square off and even the speaker
himself made a break for a shake.
The fact of the business is the Hill
worshipers we're Che only members
struck by that common impulse
and they were the worst sold out set
that ever went fawning before. The
following dispatch to the New York
World Feb. 2 explains it all:
Senator Hill has double in Wash
ington. He is one of the corps Of
assistant doorkeepers stationed at the
main door of the house of representa-
tives. The senator himself recognized
the strong resemblance. on receut
visit to the house wing of the capitol
and commented upon the fact to sew

As may be imagined, the doubles
head is as bald on top as billiard
ball, with a fringe of black hair. His
face, like that of his distinguished
prototype, has the same round fulness
and his mustache has the same twist
at the corners of the mouth. He
wears the double. breasted frock coat
and has an impressive bearing. He is
frequently pointed out by guides as
the senator, aud is often saluted by
new members with "Good morning,

A FAIR SLEEPER.
Eighteen Months without Awakening-A
Puzzle to Physicians.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. S.-A most re-
markable case of long sleep exists here
Ill the state insane asylum. The subject,
who Is woman, was seen today. and
the authorities say she has been sleeping
year and half. Her emaciated hands
were folded in her lap, and her face had
the deathlike pallor of a corpse which
was heightened by her straight black
hair brushed straight back from the
forehead. Her eyes We're closed and
only the regular heaving of her breast
indicated that she was alive. Her name
is Pendegrast, and she has been an in.
mate of the asylum for a number of
years. About year and half ago she
showed signs of drowsiness, from which
she soon settled into sound sleep. and
1t was impossible to awaken her. Hen
eyellds can be opened by force, when her
big black eyes stare into space, with no
CLEAN of intelligence, and a sound rap
on the head or the keen point of a pin
makes no impression whatever Milk is
her only food, of which she is given
about three quarts daily, by means of
rubber tube in her nose The sleeper
sits in rocking chair in one of the cor
ridQrs during the day, as oblivious of her
surroundings as though in her allotted
six feet of earth, and at night she is car
ried to her bed. The doctors cannot ex-

Some Of our state exchanges have
forgotten the gentle reminder from
our esteemed contemporary, the Day,
a few weeks ago, and now and then
a paragraph is credited to the Day
that Arst sentilleted in the columns Of
this paper. Of course, these things
are not done Intentionally, Just a
little carelessness, you know. For
instance here is one from the Ford
Worth Mail
Waco Day The difference be-
tween Hill and Mills on the silver
coinage and tariff reform questions is
that Mills is for silver coinage aud
tariff reform while Hill Is for presi-
dent"
And this one from the Houston
Post
Sand here is another pointer. A
dispatch from, Valley Mills says: "A test
vote was made by our business men
for senator, resulting: Mills IL, Cul.

the proportion of the popular vote
each would get if the race was made
for senator before the people.-WacC

iginally in THE News and were never
printed in the Day.

noisy gesticulators, and the house gal
lery is like unto it. There the fellows
go who have more talk and less writing
to do than their more Industrious con-
freres. There stories are told, some
times in loud tones Of voice, followed
by piercing laughter. The rules of the

have real work to perform and are anx-

One singular thing about the press
gallery is never told and it will be al

to understand the situation and appre-

reason gentlemen having the privilege
of the galleries at the capitol are abso-
lutely their own bosses; more SO than
any other class of men engaged in the
profession of journalism.
Although very fewsof the gentlemen
are to be seen constantly in the press
gallery. nearly every man having the
privilege Of that place visits the sane
tum back of the gallery either of the
house or senate every day, and does
more or less work there. The rooms in
the senate wing Of the capitol were
greatly improved during the last con-
gressional vacation by the sergeant-at-
arms. An additional room has been
added. a quiet, private place, where
men may go with their stenographers
and be absolutely free from the inter
ference of conversation or the noise of
oratory. The telegraph instruments
have been removed to the outer lobby,
SO that their clicking has been dis
pensed with. An additional telephone
has been given to the gallery. while
new carpets, new furniture, new pier
mirrors and other adjuncts of comfort
and adornment have been literally be-
slowed The senate gallery is the best
place in the capitol for doing quick
work and good work; for the reason
that it is always quiet, dignified and re-
fined, like the august body assembled

Cheese should BE Sold by Test.

There is no chemical union of ele-
ments in cheese making, but merely a
mechanical combination 1t follows,
therefore. that the elements can be re-
solved to their individual condition
after they have existed in combination
to make a cheese This being the case,
it is just as easy to test the per cent Of
fat in a che csc as to test the fat in
cream. Take a cream tube of common
length and fill it with cheese, and melt
the contents by placing the tube in
boiling water. No matter what the
length of the melted cheese in the
tube, If three and one-half tenths of 1t
are not pure oil on the surface of the
watery part, the cheese was either
made from milk naturally poor. or had
been SKINNED. As the water in
cheese is worth nothing, and the
caseine not more than about three
cents per pound, while the fat is worth
twenty-five when cheese is worth ten
cents, so cheese should be sold by test
