Eats Nothing And Gets Fat.

New BRUNSWICK, December
12-James Still, the colored
boy who is mystifying the at
tendants of the New Jersey State
Reform School at Jamesburg by
his refusal to take food of any
kind, has now reached the sixty
fifth day of his fast, and still
continues hale and hearty under
these remarkable conditions.
The strangest feature of Stills
fast is that he is gaining steadily
in weight, and grows more muscu-
lar with each succeeding day.
For several days past he has been
at work in the brush factory, and
one day recently he made fifteen
brushes. Twice every day spoon
ful of sweet oil is given to him,
and with this he rubs his body
from head to foot. The lad is
unable to retain food of any kind
on his stomach, although the
doctors have tried every known
preparation of nutriment since
his admission to the institution.
Then he was a mere skeleton,
he weighs 130 pounds. Dr.. Van
Zandt, the school physician WIS

Gratitude Toward Great Men.

We are told regularly-period ideally
told-that the eminent politician earns
his country's gratitude. We have much
to be thankful for, we little ones, but
we have indeed cause to be truly thank
full that we are not destined to earn such
gratitude as that. How many politi-
clans, say, during the past century may
be said to have earned their countfy's
gratitude? How many out of the great
multitude of politicians? Is there one?
Is there one man Of whom his country
men are willing to say, with an even
nearly unanimous voice, eve owe that
man our heartfelt gratitude; it is his;
we give it him." AS they sometimes
CRY in the arena of his former struggles:
"Namel NameI'
Doubtless every man Jack of those ex-
tinct eminent politicians-for extinct
they are as the dodo, to all practical in
tents and purposes-has his followers as
he had them then. And equally true it
Is that he has his opponents, quite in the
good old way. What sort Of gratitude
Is it which consists in being set up by
one set Of Een for another set Of men to
knock you down? Those eminent poll
ticisns have handed on their wrangles
to our eminent politicians. We are
wrangling Just on the same old lines.
II we look deeply into the matter we
shall begin to doubt if we have advanced
much farther than they did. We are
making the same old plunges in the
same old lucky bag.-An the Year

his usual long strides, suddenly broke in

his deepest tones. "She sent for me to

noble tribute to the memory of the

the queen had said to him. 81 can't re-

N--S - .
said:
aThe case is the most remarkable
that. has ever come under my
notice. I have studied it for over
a month, and with other physician,
have endeavored to discover the
cause of Stills remarkable vitality,
That the boy is keeping up a
genuine fast I have no doubt. He
has been watched carefully by
Keeper Condor, and he is willing
to swear that Still has eaten moth
ing in sixty-four days. It cannot
be that the sweet oil which he
rubs into his body sustains him,
although it does much to sustain
vitality. Mentally the boy is in
excellent condition. He is bright
at all times, and is lively as a
cricket. He shows no disposition
whatever to eat anything, and is
perfectly content to be let alone
and not worried abont food"
Keeper Condor, who has had
Still under constant supervision
since he began his fast, said: aThe
boy is certainly d wonder. He is
under my eyes fourteen out of the
twenty four, aud the other ten
hours he sleeps. That he does not
eat anything then I am positive,
because hs has no way of getting
it, and if he did I would notice
the effects afterward. Since l saw
that he could not eat anything l
have been very lenient with him
and have not put hin, to work with
the other boys.
"Latsly, however, l became tired
of seeing him sit around doing
nothing, and I ordered him to re-
port, with other members of the
family, for work in tbs factory.
His long idleness had spoiled the
lad, apparently, and he rebelied.
He, showed very violent temper,

that the press has not lead the way

Later advices assure US that
Gov. Tillman will not veto the
Wilson railroad bill, but will ap-
prove it as being better than the
present law, which gives the rail
road commissioners no power at
all. The objection to the Wilson

is that it gives the commissioners
too much power, viz: the power to
fix freight and passenger rates.
