james Lyons residing with his parents
on Sixth avenue and Twenty-fourth street
hadhis left foot badly cut on piece ofglass
yesterday morning, causing the blood to
flow copiously. Dr. Garter dressed the
injured foot and no serious results are
anticipated.
Up to the present writing the name of
the late Boss Wells has not been enrolled
as member of the Liberal Republican
club. The private opinion of Mr.. Wells
is that the new Organization is an unnec>
esssry adjunct to the local factors of re-
publicanism.
Street Supt. Blaiadell started force of
men to work today repairing the pave-
ment where it was damaged by the recent
high water or other wise. There are some
bad places in the pavement on Market
square and also on Twentieth street, as
well as on Secord avenue. that will
doubtless receive attention now that the
work has been started.
The last day crank has made his ap-
pesrance again. a long haired and aged
tramp made speech in Geneseo Tues
day evening, in which he said that the
Lord had appeared to him in a dream
~ years ago and revealed that tie world
would would end i'll 1898. He besought
the people to get ready in the next SIX
years yet left. Somebody threw bunch
of lighted firecrackers under the prophets
feet, and the crowd broke up in confu-
| sion.

The Il League to Continue If With
Only Four CInbs-A New President
EIected-Notes.
A meeting of the board of directors of
the Illinois and Iowa base ball league was
held yesterday at the Sherman house.
Chicago.
It was learned that Aurora had adams
doned its club pursuant to a notice from
the president to that effect. This ended
in the resignation Of President Mckee.
W. w. Kent, of Jacksonville, was
elected as his successor. To fill vacan-
cies in the Office o. first and second vice
president, W. R. Moore, OF Moline, and
j. 8. Hulse. of Rockford, were elected.
Evansville put in claim of $500 on
account OF non appearance of the
scheduled clubs for July and 4. The
claim was rejected, which caused Evsns>
vile to give notice that she would with
draw from the league and demand the
return of the $500 guarantee, unless re-
imbursed for those games. A resolution
was adopted rejecting the demand and
ordering Evansville to play all games as
officially scheduled.
The Evsnsvilles accepted the situation
after hot srgume nt, and new schedule
for SIX clubs will be drawn up. The DEL
egstes declared positively that the league
would go through the season if it
dwiudles down to four clubs.
Decker and Conner OF the Joliets, will
join Anson's team Monday, which means
that thereafter they cease to shine indi-
vidually as stars Of the first magnitude.
All the shining they do hereafter, will be
credited to the big first basemsn and il
the lustre OF their playing fails to reflect
properly on Arson that will end them.
The local management has heard moth
ing from Bsxendsle and Manager Ssge's
duty is TO black list him if he cares for
the respect OF the local patronage of the
club. The club is figuring with Gragg,
the pitcher. late OF the Peoria and Aurora
c. ubs, and good man, and will proba-
Div sign him in Baxendsle's place.
President Hodge. this afternoon took
the case Of Baxendsle in hand and tele-
graphed Secretary McCaull to blacklist
the DESERVING player. 1t is to be hoped
that McCaull will attend to the matter
promptly and not make the ia rec he did
in Msckey's case
Fielder Roberts is still very i'll, being
attacked with symptoms of typhoid fever.
1t is feared he will not be able to play for
some time.

Imitators and Impostors.

The unequalled success of Allcock' s
Porous Plssters as an external remedy has
induced interruptions parties to offer i'm
itstions, which they endesvor to sell on
the reputation of Allcock's. II is an
absurditY to speak of them in the same
category as the genuine porous plaster
Their pretentions are unfounded, their
vsuntee merit unsupported by facts, their
alleged superiority to or equality with
Allcock's false pretense.
Mhe sblest medical practitioners and
chemists and thousands of grateful pat
tents unite in declaring Allcock's Porous
Plssters the best external remedy ever
produced.
Beware OF limitations, do not be deceiv-
ed by misrepresentation. Ask for ALL
cocks and let no solicitation or explain
alton induce you to accept q substitute.

The natives of Borneo have a peculiar
method Of fishing. prefacing their opera
lions by stupefying the fish with tho
milky juice of the tabah, shrub grow
ing in the Jungle.
On the day fixed for the sport at about
half an hour before high water, the river
to be fished is staked across, at short
distance from its mouth. This precau-
ton prevents any fish from passing, and
those which have gone up stream with
the tide are thus hindered from escaping
into the sea.
\ couple of canoes, containing tabab
Juice. aue each having a native on board
proceed some distance up the stream. In
the meantime, the spOrtsmen assemble a
couple of hundred yards or so below tho
tabah canoes, each in his own canoe, and
armed with fish spear, the boat being
propelled by a man in the stern. All be-
inc ready, a signal is given, and the ma
tives in the two tabah canoes begin sway
ing sidewise, rolling the canoes this way
and that, and singing kind of chant, in
which the others join. By degrees the
canoes fill with water, and at last turn
over, sending the tabah juice into the
stream, the natives recovering the boats
when the juice has all disappeared. Then
every one is on the alert. The juice soon
takes effect, and fish Of all sorts and sizes
are seen struggling on the surface of the
water half stupeied by the tabah poison.
Then it becomes the case of "every man
for himself, helped by his paddler, who,
under his direction, steers for tho fish,
which are rapidly killed by the sharp
pointed speers.
Sometimes larger fish than usual at
tracts three or four canoes, the spearmen
all striking at it, and the paddlers urging
them on, and thrusting their canoes for
ward so as to drive others out of the line.
The welcome cry of breakfast" soon
sounded, and leaving the natives to col
lect the fish, the travellers took to the
shade of the boats awning to enjoy their
hardly earned meal.

The following letter was written to tho
leicester Journal, and is dated at Burd.
wan, January 81, 1929. 1t has been re-
vived as showing the horrors of the now
abandoned East Indian custom of the
suffice.
81 was present" said the correspond
cnt, "at the awful ceremony of woman
burning herself with the corpse of her
husband. | was conducted to the house
of deceased, who was of the husbandmaD
caste. / found the body laid on a mat,
the widow heated by it getting her hair
combpd, When she saw me she crept
on her knees toward me, begging per-
mission to burn herself with the body
of her husband. As soon as the magis-
trates leave arrived for the awful cere-
mony, the relatives placed the corpse on
a bier which they carried, and on which
the widow was seated. She was car
ried to the place of funeral, amidst 8
large crowd, on whom she scattered
parched grain. The funeral pile was
made in Il hollow cone dug in the earth
about four feet deep and five diameter at
the month It was lined with dry wood
and partly filled with combustibles. At
ter the widow had bathed in an adjacen
tank, the corpse was placed in the cone
At this time she was SO exhausted that
relation was obliged to bear her up in his
arms. When again on her feet, she tore
off a part of her robe, wrapped it around
her eldest son, a child about years old.
After this, many men and women fell at
her feet and kissed them.
The victim exhorted the women TO fol-
low her example should they ever be in
similar state The boy now threw
lighted torch in the cone, when it blazed
with great fury The widow walked
three times round the cone, throwing in
resin to enIiven the blaze from pot
which she had under her arm, then
jumped with alacrity into the flames and
seated herself near the corpse. She was
in a moment enveloped in flames, which
the crowd increased by throwing in tow
and other combustibles, and she kept
clapping her hands, after the epiderm's
was nearly burned off her body. Her
hands then fell; she was soon dead, put
still the body kept Its erect seated post
ure, and appeared like statue of ebony
amidst raging flames. The crowd shouted
loudly and necessarily, and said that such
a resolute suffice was never seen. The
police officer who attended, and who had
seen many suttees, told me he never saw
one where the victim was SO calm and
intrepid. l was within three yards of
the cone; the poor creature had her face
toward me; l shall never forget the
dreadful sight, it was awful and horrible.
Thanks to the exertions of the English!
government, those hideous Indian Gus
toms are to a great extent abolished. The
thugs, or phansegars, sacrificing to Bob
wauie, their Moloch, are wiped out arc
their nightmare removed from the breast
of the poor Indian ryot.
