A Noted Fat Man.

Some years ago man named Hanson
Craig, hailing from Kentucky, claimed
to be the heaviest man in the world.
His weight was given at 792 pounds. It
took thirty-six yards of cloth to make
him suit He was 6 feet ~ inches
high, and at birth weighed only seven
pounds. At two years of age he took a
$1,000 prize in New York, and tipped
the beam at 206 pounds. His father and
mother were small people, both under
1870 pounds. -Pittsburg Leader

Cursed Words of the Yezidees.

The Yezidees, peculiar Turkish sect,

which consider certain letters, words
and phrases as being cursed. and the

subject for immediate destruction. They
attach no value to human life, and to
these ordinary dangers are added those
arising from the embarrassing etiquette
Of conversational intercourse with them,
for it any one inadvertently speaks the
word "devil, satan" or anything with
the same meaning, he commits mortal
offense, and to cut off his head is God
pleasing act, a sacred duty of the Yezi-
dee, the fulfillment Of which will insure
him place in paradise.
In like manner several letters are
wholly banished from their language,
chiefly those which contain the sound Of
"shun. The Arabian word nallet,
Thou art damned" is also expunged
because it is believed by the Yezidees to
have been the word uttered by God

Everything in Readiness for the Open
ing Game.
The league season of 1892 opens to-
morrow in blaze of glory. There is
every reason to believe that this will be
the grandest year in the history of the
California league. The four best cities
in the state are represented and the in
terest is bound to be greater than ever
before. "The Angels" will arrive this
afternoon from Riverside. All the boys
are in the pink of condition and are
ready for the fray. The San Francisco
team will arrive at O'Clock. Hoffman
will pitch the opening game and Fan
ming will be in the box on Sunday. San
Francisco has won the opening game of
the season for ten successive years, and
Manager Harris is bent on keeping up
his record. Glenalvin is also set on
winning the first game for Los Angeles.
There will be several thousand people
on deck to cheer and urge the local team
on to victory,
The gathering on Saturday at the
Los Angeles Athletic club grounds will
be representative one. The best peo.
pie in the city will honor the grounds
with their presence, and the national
game will be given q wonderful impetus
in this city. Everything now looks as
if Los Angeles would give San Francisco
close rub as the best ball city. on the
coast. Every admirer of the national
game should at least bring one or more
friends. Let us show that Los Angeles
will not play second fiddle to any city.

1t is generally conceded that San Fran

MORE OF THE TwINE TRUST.

From the Western Rural. Chicago.
At last we are permitted to know the
true inwardness of the National Union
company, as revealed by its managers
and benefciarles. This revelation Is
largely due to the overweaning zeal and
conceited confidence of Ben. Terrell, of
Texas, who has been going about the
country advocating the company's cause
under thin disguise Of Peoples party
speeches. He found everywhere grow
ing opposition and increasing suspicion
of the company's intimate relations to
the National Cordage company, or Swine
trust" Nothing could be more plain
than the precarious hold this plausible
scheme had upon the organizations.
Therefore, Mr.. Terrell felt that some
thing must be done to make it safe for
himself and others to continue the re-
cipients Of monopoly pap. Through his
influence call was sent out to the execu-
tive boards of the Illinois state organiza-
tions to meet In Chicago on May q. 1t
was arranged at the same time to bring
together all Of the National Union Off
cials, state trade commissioners and ac-
tive friends to secure the weight of their
united influence to bear upon the COM
mittee in order to obtain the best posi-
BILE results for the combine" This
array Of "twine trust" talent consisted
of II. H. Bslch, of New York, lobbyist
for the trust at Washington, and now
president of the National Union com
pany; Oswald Wilson, Of New York,
vice president of the company, whose ex-
ploits In behalf of the downtrodden agri-
cultuhats Of Florida left them several

ciple Of division Of labor, which you all
know so greatly reduces the cost of pro-
duclng commodities. You should bear
in mind that philosophical principle, the
division of labor, which always fights on
the side of commerce and on the side of
manufactures, but never can fight on the
side of the farmer.
Mr.. Chairman, I take pride in this
country as a country. I love my home
better than any other mans home, but 1t
is because love it, that l love the coun-
ty in which it Is placed and the state in
which the county is fixed, and the system
of government in which my state is q

And think the manifest position to
take, as o matter of national pride, is
that the American producer, whether on
the farm or in the shop, can knock the
hind sights off the producer anywhere
else on the face of the earth. Applause
Let US say we are not afraid of this
"pauper labor" Sir, pauper never was

he be a slave or a beggar, never was

pluck and American intelligence in any
contest with any other people.
In the name Of our common country

colors-I ask for free trade and q fair
system Of taxation, 80 that in the days
that are to come the alienated affections
of our people everywhere will come back
to the. government as the wanderers
ought to come back home; and from
every hearth and household In all this

years that are to come; "Long live The

such wild ebullition OF crankism. They
have general prosperity. They have
nearly million children at the public
schools free of charge to the individual;
they have fiourishiDg trade, both do

pared to their wants; they have aproduc-
ton per capita that Is credltable to any
people; they have standing army that is
greater than ours; they have a navy which
is greater than ours.
Since their virtual free trade went
into operation in 1860, they have steadily
climbed up higher toward prosperity,
and have more than quintupled their
foreign trade and their domestic produc-
tion. Emigration is light; property well
distributed. That is true OF Sweden,
and the same Is true Of Holland. They
have In Holland q million children at
the free schools; and In both Sweden and
Holland they have what a gentleman
upon the other side of the aisle Mr.. Lay

The only debt which Sweden, as a
nationality, owes to-day is represented
by her railway system, and Sweden is
limited monarchy, where one would not
suppose that socialism" could have
crept in. Holland has very little coal or
iron, vet her manufactures flourish un-
der nominal duties. She competes sue
cessfully with high tariff countries. She
manufactures cottons, woolens, linen,
glass, crystal, esrthenware and many
other commodities, and does so without
protection. Her crops and her man.
factures steadily increase, and her labor
Is well rewarded.

SENATOR SLAUGHTER SPEAKS.
He Urges Farmers to Attend Both State
Conventions.


There should he no question raised
as to the ability of farmers and
others of the laboring classes attend
ing both State conventions, for
under any and all circumstances,
they should attend in full force, un.
less they would have all their past
work 90 for nothing. There should
be no surrender Oh the eve of action
when justice and right are to be CON
tended for.
When the ISSUE is between the ty.
ranncnl rule of moried mohopolj' s
and just rights Of the people, includ
ing even the liberties and necessities
of life for millions Of the laboring
classes, the cost in dollars and cents
should in no wise be considered.
Both conventions are very i'm
portant, and unless farmers and
others of the laboring class intend to
look after their interest in these, and
all others of the like kind, they had
better disband their organizations
and quietly submit TO what must be
their fate in the nea future, the serl
of government controlled by
monied monopolies in the interest OF
wealth.
Every farmer, and the laboring
people of all classes, should attend
their district and county convention,
and then see that true and good men
are sent as delegates to both of the
State conventions, and the fear of a
little expense should not prevent
them from doing so.
They should remember that their
fight is based upon such just and
right principles as would be worth
far more to them than any required
sacrifice Of either time or money.
They may not fully realize this fact
now, but they will in the future,
when, perhaps, it may be too late to
remedy the evils of past indifference
or negligence. g. Fl. S.
