MOUNTAINS OF FLESH.
Two Specimens of Avoirdupois United in
Marriage.

Two Specimens of Avoirdupois United in
Marriage.
1t isn't often that one strikes a good
looking fat woman in museum, but
Mrs. Deitel is an exception. For fat
woman Mrs. D. is a beauty. She is
quite spirituelle, however, compared
with her husband, who is feet high
and tips the beam at 1852 pounds, while
weighs 500 pounds. Probably she
doesn't drink enough.
That two people the size of Mr.. and
Mrs. Deitel should get married seems
rather strange, for on account of
their size, one cannot nelp the other
any more than they can help themselves.
The story of their courtship is an in
teresting one. Mrs. Deitel, whose "nee
name." as the squire in alabama"
would put it, was Wren, was a simple
little country maiden, who lived at
Lima, o.; a sort of merry little noun
tain lass was she, SO to speak-that is, if
there are any mountains in the vicinity
of Lima. Mr.. Deitel was butcher in
Baltimore.
Now whether there is anything about
the butcher business that makes one
f1eshy or whether from handling flesh
SO often he began to retain it is impossi
BILE to say. But be that as it may Mr..
Deitel grew and grew until he grew too
large for his business. He scorned the
idea of going into museum, however.
At this interesting period Miss Wren
came along to Baltimore. She met Mr..
Deitel, the butcher man, and as she ex
pressed it to a Cincinnati Times-Star re-
porter, fell in love with him at first sight.
She fell in love, and as she weighs 500
pounds no one could pick her up. Mr..
Deitel fell in love, too-fel all in a heap
and there was no way of helping him
out of it. And so they were married.
The ceremony occurred on the Goth day
of November last IN Baltimore. Kohl
& Middleton happened to hear of the
event and Immediately began making
overtures to the corpulent couple. At
first their proud spirits rebelled, but
finally the husband was overcome by a
feeling that inasmuch as he had family
to provide for-and large one at that,
not in numbers, but in avoirdupois-it
behooved him to make the most of the
opportunity that presented itself.
and so Mr.. and Mrs. Deitel are now
appearing to crowded houses in the
museums. Mr.. Deitel sits with his legs
wide apart and permits his vast stomach
to fall in graceful folds toward the floor,
while his wife wears her wedding dress
in state by his side. It took torty-five
yards of white satin to construct the
dress, and Mrs. Deitel ayers with great
show of pride the costume cost her hus-
band $125.
Since the above was written death
carried off the groom. He succumbed
to pneumonia at Cincinnati on the 18th
nit

Penalty for Eating Pears.

R. III. Allen, the florist at 81
Church Street, has for thirty years been
sufferer from most peculiar trouble
and vet is to-day well and in good
health. His case is said by physicians
to be the only one Of it's kind that has
ever been known of and has by dozen
Or more eminent doctors been pro-
nounced inexplicable and incurable.
When Mr.. Allen was boy about II
years of age the trouble first came upon
him in the following manner: He was
visiting friends in the country one day,
and as it was during the season when
harvest pears are ripe he ate great
many. After he had eaten quite
number he suddenly began to feel that
he could not swallow any more, and that
his stomach was full up to his throat, SO
to speak. He was taken with tit of
coughing and choking, and seemed to be
unable to swallow anything.
When he next tried to eat he found
that his food would not 60 down
into his stomach, and alter number OF
attempts to eat found that the only way
he could get his food to pass down into
his stomach was by drinking quantity
of water or some other liquid very last,
and thus forcing his food down. He
had good appetite, and relished his
food, but he could only eat SO much,
and then the valve which carries the
food into the stomach would fill up, and
if he ate more it prevented his breath
ing. A number of physicians were con-
suited and various treatments were
tried, and all without avail.
The doctors were unable to explain
the trouble Some said that it was due
to paralysis of the stomach. On exam
nation the nsophagus was found to be
entirely closed up and probe could on
ly be gotten down into the stomach by
forcing it through the obstruction.
Mr.. Allen has lived and enjoyed good
health for the past thirty years OF
more. There are some hard substances
which he does not dare to eat, as they
will not pass into his stomach under
any circumstances, but by little care
he enjoys good health. He eats good
meal and then drinks about pint of
some liquid very fast, and by sheer will
power forces the food into his stomach,
which has accumulated in the gsopha-
gus. If he did not do this his food
would remain in the nsophagus for
DAYS and not enter the stomach at all.
BY all medical men Mr.. Aliens case
is regarded as most remarkable, and
said to be remarkable example Of the
power of the will over matter.-New
Haueae Register.

Now, running up against lawyer was
the very thing this thrifty young man
wanted to avoid.
"Why should be put to the expense
Of lawyer" he reasoned to the loun-
gers who were laughing at his perpleN-
ity. II don't owe the man anything.

Perhaps he is just suing you so as to
put you to the expense of a lawyer.

suggested.
This only added fuel to the fame.

ton of rights and offered his receipt

COUGHS.

Many people who take cold and find
that it has settled into a cough look
upon it as a small matter, and if they
can find something that will stop the
tickling in the throat they fancy that is
all that need be done. Now cough
is natures signal of distress. 1t is the
red flag which she sends out as warn
ing. 1t is not the disease, but it is the
effect of the disease. The trouble is
that the blood vessels are congested.
They act precisely as if there were a.
foreign substance in the lungs, and ma
tuJe endeavors to expel it just as she
would expel it by sending out the air
quickly and forcibly. In order to be
cured the whole system must be treated.
REDS GERMAN COUCH AND KIDNEY
CURE does this. The very first dose
you will feel the difference. 1t very
soon loosens the cough and enables the
lungs to rid themselves of the phlegm.
In this respect its action is marvellous.

and be sure you inquire for Reds

PlSEyllLE Ky, Feb. 5.--The Turner
and Parton fauions have had another
clash, aud this time one OF the Turner
gang WAS killed The ran killed was
George Sharp, a son OF old Kirk Sharp.
at whose house Turner and his gang had
been making their headquarters. The
encounter occurred on sunday night, but
no news was received here until yester-
day. Silas Parton, a cousin to Manuel
Parton who was killed, and who was
with him at the tims, brought the news
here. The Partons, who had kept close
watch on Turner, thought they saw an
opportunity to eaten the outlaw when his
men were away from the house, SO four
OF the Parton crowd made sudden
swoop on the rendezvous. They caught
Turner and Sharp asleep in the cabin,
as they had anticipated, and made them
prisoners. Turner, however, made an
outcry, which brought to his rescue a
number of his men, who were in cabin
a short distance away. The pa,tons, see
ing they were outnumbered, fled. A
number of shots were exchanged, and
George Sharp was killed. No further
steps have been taken to organize posse
Of officers here to capture Berry Turner,
since it has been learned that the seat OF
the trouble is in Tennessee and not in
Kentucky.

Two Women Outwit United States Dep.
uty Marshal.
ATLANTA. Ga, Feb. "A moonsbiner
named John Lowell was rescued yester-
day from the revenue officers BY his
mother and a deaf and dumb sister. The
story OF the rescue is q strange one.
Deputy Marshals Burrell and Reynolds
arrived in Atlanta, after big haul in
Rabun. The deputies raided three stills
and captured seven men. While on the
way from the place of capture to Gaines
vile Deputy Burrell followed some dis.
lance behind REYNOLDS. Reynolds had
four moonshiners in charge and Burrell
had three. Two of Burrell's prisoners
were handcuffed together, while the
third, Lowell. marched in front of Bur
rell. Suddenly two women sprang from
the bushes. One was quite aged, while
the other appeared to be not over IS years
Old: They were the deaf and dumb sister
and mother of young Lowell. Mrs.
Lowell quickly grasped Burrell around
the body, pinioning his arms to his sides.
Seeing the timely aid that was being
rendered by the two women, Lowell, who
was not handcufed, broke for the woods:
burrell shook Mrs. Lowell off and would
have fred at the rstreating moonshiner
had not the sister sprang directly BE-
tween them. The young fellow made
good his escape, and the women were
allowed to depart. The deputies con-
tinued their way to GAINESVILLE, where
the Elk remaining prisoners were bound
over.

DETROIT, Feb. 6.--Wednesday q dep

among eight prisoners in the county jail
to escape, He was not able to discover
their methods of operation and their
tools, but it was found that the iron bars
an window had been nearly sawed in
two. In the cellar OF the building are
three cells, called clark holes," % bad
~ those ia the English jails which
Charles Reade told Of. They are *
tromely hot and close, and there are iron
rings elk feet from the floor and similar
rings near the door. Six OF the suspected
prisoners were manacled to these ring.
at 4p. M, yesterday, their arms being
stretched above their heads. They were
left in that position all night. The
torture was friRhtful, and all were ready
TO tell everything this morning. They
agreed that George Daily, alias Miller,
~charged with larceny, was the leader,
aad the tools were given up. Back OF
