A Crazy Chinese Tries to Kill His

are confined.
Among the Mongols in the cell is one ar

only as John Doe, and lately by his ac-

There was a sick man in the cell, and
John Doe who had become violent dur

without mercy. He had his hands about
the sick mans throat when the screams of
the inmates of the cell, all OF whom had
been threatened with death by the maniac,
brought the guards to his assistance,
John Doe was dragged out of the place
and cast into the dark cell. He will appear

This is the story the detectives tell about

THE MAYOR TAKEN BY SURPRISE
Clerk Russell Says That He Has to
Follow the Orders OF the Board.


On the conclusion of the meeting Mayor
Ebert was questioned in regard 10 The re-
markabe course of declaring that he had
no power to veto a water ordinance. He
said that the measure had taken him by
surprise and had been sprung suddenly
on him. He did not know what
he would do. He contended very
warmly that the veto should 90 10 print as
he had so ordered it in the beginning OF the
meeting without immediate objection. He
did not know how the subject could be
brought before the Supreme Court, and be-
lieved that few taXpay ers would pay waller
rates under an ordinance passed in such a
way.
Clerk John Russell of the board stated
emphat ically that he would carry out the
orders Of the board. He said the Mayor
was simply the presiding officer of the
board. which held all the p0wer. They
passed a resolution 10 take no action on the
veto, and he must obey them.
He did not place much stock In Mayor
Elierts contention that he had ordered the
veto message TO print in the beginning of
the meeting, and contended that the Rogers
resolution wiped that order out Of exist
ence.
So unless something unexpected happens,
there is very little chance of the Mayors

There are some incidental attractions in

quartet is one OF these. In their concerted
music we have clever imitation of the

culiar picking of the banjo that is heard in
negro minstrelsy. These limitations are re-
markable, inasmuch as they are conveyed

FREAKISH ACTIONS OF A SPRING.

The greatest curiosity in West Vir
ginia and one of the most wonderful
freaks known in the south is a spring
at Northfeld-that is, it is located at
Mortified during two months of the
year and at some other place during
the other ten. The Virginian end of
this wonder is engaged in active bust
ness during the two hottest months of
the year from July to Aug. 31-its
basin being as dry as the prOverbial
chip the remainder Of the year. This
phenomenal fountain is no toy water
let; neither is it steep or a spouty
place. On the contrary it is a gusher.
The ten months silence and two
months activity Of this Virginian odd
ity is the only phenomenon it pre-
sents. It works on the intermission
plan, spouting a column Of water of
huge dimensions for fifteen minutes,
then relapsing into state Of inactivi-
ty for the same length of time. The
going and coming of the water are
preceded by q strange roaring sound
not unlike that Of a heavy train pass
Ing over a trestle. The size Of the
stream does not seem to diminish
from year to year, being always suf-
ficiently large to turn an ordinary hy-
wheel.
''You can't add two different things
together" said teacher in one Of the
New York public schools. eff you add
a sheep and a cow together it does not
make two sheep or two cows"
A little boy who was the son Of a
Harlem milkman held up his hand
and said:
''That may do with sheep and COWS,
but if you add quart Of milk and
quart of water it makes two quarts Of
milk. There are a lot Of folks which
have seen it done more than thous
and times"

SURE CURE For Low SPIRITS. TAX e
one ounce of spirits of resolution, an
equal proportion of the oil Of good
conscience, infuse into these a table
spoonful of the salts of patience, and
add thereto a few sprigs of others
woes, which grow extensively in the
garden of life. Gather also handful
of the blossoms of hope; sweeten
these with the balm Of providence,
and, if possible, procure few drops
of genuine friendship, but be careful
of counterfeits in the ingredients Of
self interest, which grows spontane-
ously; the least admixture of it with
the above would spoil the compost
ton. Reduce the whole to an electu-
airy by a proper proportion of con-
tent, flavor with the essence of good
judgment and regulate the quantity
according to the virulence of the dis
ease. Having tried the above recipe
we know it to be an infallible cure.

INTERNATIONALLY FUNNY.

The making of jokes has come to
that the funniest things are those that
are said Intentionally, especially
| by men who feel it their mission to
be eloquent. The New York Tribune
brings together few specimens OF
| that peculiar form of ridiculous speech
known as anti climax. 1t prevails in
India among all classes, but is especi-
ally resorted to by natives who have
occasion to petition Europeans for
| favors. Thus such man will say:
VIII the Presence, whose reputa-
ton for Justice is known from east to
west and whose countenance spreads
joy among His interiors, who are as
the sands seashore in number, graci-
ously deign almost delicious honor to
name himself one of the most I'M
worthy among the servants Of Pro-
tector of the Poor; and will the favo-
rite son of the Lord of the Universe
magnanimously overlook my amaz-
ing presumption in asking him for the
payment of bill of two annas for
hen fee?
The same thing is not unknown in
the United States. A Florida police
justice was trying to impress upon a
prisoner who was to testify in his own
behalf the solemn nature of an oath.
Assuming his most pompous tone, he
thus addressed him:
Prisoner at the bar! In taking this
solemn oath to tell the truth, the
whole truth and nothing but the truth,
take care that you do not allow your
self to be tempted to commit Wilt ul
perjury. Remember that the eyes Of
the all seeing Providence and of the
village constable are upon you.
Another judge, i'm rough and ready
but ambitious frontier town, had oc-
casion, or thought he had, to comment
severely upon the heinous crime Of
horse stealing, and Numbered forth.
For century after century that
dread command, Thou shalt not steal,
has rolled along the ages. 1t is, m ore,
over a standing rule Of this court, if
not yet bylaw of our progressive
and soon to be incorporated city.
Ludicrous deliverances of similar
sort are common in advertisements,
especially in those of a personal ma
ture. Here is one that appeared not
long ago in a New York paper:
Willie, return to your distrac ted
wife and frantic children! Do you
want to hear of your old mothers
suicide? You will if you do not let US
know where you are. Anyway, send
back your fathers colored meer-
chaum.
