Anthony Chryst, a delegate to the In
ternational BARRIERS Convention from
st. Paul, in speaking Of the tonsorial
trade, said: al know there are quite a
number of persons who do not believe
that a razor gets just as tired as a barber,
but 1t is a fact just the same, and l speak
from personal experience. j have been
busily engaged removing the beard from
a mans face when all at once my razor
would refuse to work; it would actually
not cut a hair. I would strop il, but all
to no purpose, for it would not do SER
vice. i had one Of these razors on hand
about a year ago when a most discrepit
individual entered my shop. My chair
was vacant and it fell my lot to remove
his hirsute appendsge. i had it in for
him on the start, and in order to get my
revenge / hauled out my tired razor, ex-
pecting for my customer to endure ten
thousand agonies, during the operation,
but / was most beautifully fooled, for
old razor went through his old
crusty beard just the same as silk thread,
and as q consequence j have had him on
my hands ever since. don't know how
to account for It., nor do the numerous
scientists I have consulted, but it is a
we'll fact that a razor gets tired
and will refuse to work just the same
as a balky mule."-St. Louis Post-Dis-

Whimsical DueIs.

Col. Montgomery was shot in a duel
about a dog, Col. Ramsey in one about a
servant, Mr.. Featherstone in one about a
recruit, Sterne's father in one about a
goose. and another gentleman in one
about a bottle OF anchovies. One officer
was challenged for merely asking his
opponent to pass him a goblet; another
was compelled to fight about a pinch OF
snuff. Gen Barry was challenged by a
Capt. Smith for declining wine at dinner
on "a team boat, although the General
pleaded as ar excuse that wine invariably
made him sick, and Lieut.. Cowther lost
his life in q duel because be was refused
admittance to a club OF pigeon-shooters.
In 1777 a duel occurred in New York
between Lieut.. Featherstonehaugh of the
Seventy fifth and Capt. Mcpherson OF
the Forty-second British Regiment in
regard to the manner of eating
an ear of corn, one contending
the eating was from the cob
and the other contending that the
grain should be cut of from the cob be-

HOURS OF TORTURE.
Crew of the Mineola Rescued in an
Exhausted Condition.
DREAM OF THE CAPTAINS WIFE.
Signals ofDistress Were Seen by the Carle-
ton. and the Almost starved and
Frozen Crew Was Rescued. as the
Woman Had Dreamed.

New YORK, Jan. 2i.-The schooner
Mineola OF Windsor, N. g., was aband
oned at sea on Jan. 3. Capt. Lent, his
wife and six sailors, were brought to
this port yesterday by the ships. d.. Garlic
ton OF Rockport, Me-, bound from San
Francisco.
The Carleton on the morning OF Jan. g.,
sighted the Mineola with signals OF dis
tress flying. The Mineola was bound
from Fernando for Demerara. The yes
sci was full of water. The people were
taken of in an exhausted condition. For
three days and three nights they had been
drifting about, without provisions, and
with very little clothing, almost every
thing having been washed overheard, or
so soaked with water as to be rendered
useless.
The captains wife had all that time re-
manned on top OF the house to keep watch
while the men worked at the pumps. She
fell asleep at the end OF her long vigil and
dreamed OF the shipwreck. She dreamed,
too, that she saw a large ship coming
straight TO them. When day broke she
awoke and saw the Carleton bearing down
upon their almost sinking vessel.
Every attention was given the wrecked
people by the rescuers and when port was
reached, all were much recovered.

A Party.

1--WE had a fragment party over in In
~dianapolis the other day." said Major Joe
Schwander to a St. Louis reporter.
There were five Of US. One had lost
both legs, another both arms, a third
was bald as a billiard ball, a fourth was
minus a nose and the fifth both ears.
Every one had appealed to art TO make
good the deficiency OF nature. After en-
joying several bottles OF blue label we
concluded that we would spend the night
together. There were two beds in the
room, and we decided that they were
sufficient for the five fragments OF hu-
manity; so we told the colored gentle
man in attendance to prepare US for the
embrace OF the drowsy god.
"He tackled the bald party first.
When the wig came off Sambo's eyes
opened wide. The bald gentleman in
sisted that he had been scalped, and
threatened to have Sambo indicted for
mayhem.
"He next waited upon the gentleman
with the wax ears and they came of with
his undershirt. We all gave voice to a
cry Of horror, and Sambo turned a beau
tiful green.
1.-THE man with the papier- mache nose
begged hard that he be not mutilated,
and when he doomed up above his robe
de chambre minus that important facia'
organ the poor black made a bolt for the
door. The noseless man headed him off,
and in a voice that sounded like that OF a
wheezy ghost commanded him to com.
plete his task.
Both arms OF the next man came on,
and we had to pour a bottle of wine down
Sambo before his knees would resume
business at the old stand. The mourn
ing Of the four men for their lost men,
bers and their dire threats of vengeance
were ringing in his ears when he at
tempted TO remove my boots. He tugged
till his eyes bulged out; then ! loosened
the strap and let 'em go. lie staggered
TO his feet, holding a leg in each hand,
gave a yell that could be heard a mile, and
jumped through the window without
waiting to raise the sash. "-Chicago Dis

WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
Something Peculiar to Say
the Least.
An Event Which Has Puzzled the Doc.
tors Not a Little.
The Occurrence Has Created n Great
Deal OF Comment.

The following remarkable account we have
from the mans own lips.
MIR. Amos X. Barter Is well known in In
dianapolis, Ind, living at ~ West Chess-
peake st. He says:
Ten years ago a pain came In my left foot
and went all over me. | had such severe pain
In my head that l could get no rest day or
night. called n doctor; he said ! had rheu-
matism. but he could not relieve me.
Then ] went 20 taking patent medicines
and bought everything | would see advertised
for rheumatism. but all failed TO give me any
relief. Then l called in the doctors; had five
good ones treat me, but all failed to relieve
me. / was taken down and suffered intense
pain. My flesh got SO sore hat | could not
bear my clothes TO touch me. My left side
got numb from my foot TO my head. would
feel a tingling in my side; in u second / would
fall Frustrated.
II could not sleep night or day only when
under the influence OF morphine. / could not
walk one square without resting. j would
have to set my cane out first and step with
my right foot and then draw the left foot up.
IL gave up all hopes of getting well and
quit taking any medicine except morphine.
~ would roll all night in bed and get up as
tired in the morning as If l had worked all
night.
last / found a cure in DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy. The first
two bottles drove all the pain out of my head.
l took six bottles more. Now | can walk and
| am free from pain. / thank God that l
found this wonderful remedy. II anyone will
call at my home | will tell all about my cure"
We venture the prediction that no sufferer
from pain, whether OF the head or elsewhere
of the system, who reads about this remark
able cure, will delay getting this wonderful
medicine from the drug store. 1t certainly
cures rheumatism, headache, backache, in
fact all kinds OF pains. Mr.. Darter's marvel
Gus cure by IL after many doctors failed even
TO afford relief. is proof OF this, and he may be
seen or written TO about his cure.
DR.. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve rem
edy is purely vegetable and perfectly harm
less, and Is recommended by the doctors as
the best remedy 10 take. II is, in fact, the
prescription and discovery of a physician, DR..
Greene. of - Temple Place, Boston. Mass,
the noted specialist in curing all forms of
nervous and chronic diseases. He can be con-
suited free, pc personally or by letter.
IL you are suffering pain or ache or feel
badly, use this remedy at once. 1t will cure
you.

AT the same moment the man began to

nearly lost his balance. He, however,
soon composed himself, dropped his bal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The nomins-

Venezuela was the first intimation the
public had that Minister Scruggs had va
Gated his mission to Caracas. Mr.. Scruggs

his post OF duty the Mijares incident oc-
Cured. IL is scarcely thought any rem
nant OF unpleasantness, arising out OF this
affair, can be responsible for Minister
Scruggs's Discrimination TO return to Car
acas, especially as the new minister from
Venezuela has just arrived and is to BE-
presented TO President Harrison today.

minister, is said to be a warm friend O,

BRITISH LEGATION ATTACKED.
Minister GoslinC's Son VIII Die From
Injuries Received.

PANAMA, Jan. PA despatch from

die. Minister Gosling's youngest son
shot one OF the mob dead.
The British warship Melpomene is at
San Jose and her commander has cabled
for the Warsprite and Nymphe to come
and assist him in blockading the port, so
that reparation may be obtained without
the bombardment OF the port.
President Barrios is said to nave refused
so far TO grant the British demands for
reparation. He protests that he is pow
erless to do so, as any attempt on his part
to atone for the outrages would cause an
Indian uprising, If not a general revolu-
ton. He begged the British minister and
commander to wait until popular fury
had subsidized before they act. The i'm

THE POPULlsT LEADER or The HOUSE
Marion Cannon, OF California-Hi Ca
reer and His PecuIiarities.

Marion Cannon, OF CaIifornia-His Ca
reer and His PecuIisrities.
In the unofficial list OF members OF the
Fifty-third Congress published in the
Congressional Directory, as in all other
tables of the same kind, California is
credited with four Democratic and three
Republican Representatives. This is not
strictly accurate, for one OF the so-called
Democrats, while endorsed by a Demo-
cratic Convention and elected by the help
OF Democratic votes, is n straight Peo-
Plies party man and is likely TO take the
lead OF the little group OF populists in
the next House.
II you ask an average politician from
California to tell you something about
Marion Cannon, you will be informed
that he is a farmer. That Is absolutely
all that is known by nine-tenths of the
political experts on the coast concerning
a man who has just upset the most artis-
tic gerrymander in the United States and
turned a Republican majority OF 8 1000 in
to an opposition one OF $500. In the
course of a rather long life Mr.. Cannon
has been singularly successful in GLIDING
publicity, and his sensational Eruption
into the neatly fenced preserve of the
Sixth Congressional district was a be-
wildering surprise TO the managers, who
thought hat all possible contingencies
had been provided for.
Marion Canno was born in 1885, in
what is now West Virginia, where his
family had lived for three generations.
IL was there, in a little country school
house, that he gained all the formal
education he has ever had. Whatever he
has learned besides has come from his
own reading and observation. Although
he is fond OF books and has read ex-
tensively, IL is inevitable that he should
show some of the limitations of the self
educated man. But he has a candid and
open mind, and is ready TO welcome new
light from any source.
The Cannons were among the pioneers
OF California-not exactly forty-niners,
but pretty near it. They crossed the con
tinent with an emigrant caravan, Marion
driving an OK team. AT that time south
ern California was merely a wilderness
OF sheep and cattle ranges, inhabited
almost exclusively by the Spanish-speak-
ing natives. The American emigrants
headed naturally for the mining regions.
Mr.. Cannon settled in Nevada county,
where he soon became a LEADING citi-
zen." IL was there that he held his first
and only public ~ofice-that of County
Recorder. Eventually he saw the agri-
cultural possibilities of the south and
transplanted his vine and fig tree to
Ventura county, where they nav since
iourished on a profitable ranch.

SAN DIEGO, CAL, Jan. 24.-The steamer
San Jose arrived yesterday from Panama,
bringing thirty-eight of the crew OF the
American bark Sea Breeze, which was
burned Jan 10 at Madre Island in the Gulf
OF California, where she went to secure
wood before going on a whaling expedi-
ton. Forty-three men on board escaped
in boats to the island and were sent by
the governor to San Bias, where five OF
the crew remained. The Sea Breeze was
owned by James McKenna OF San Fran
cisco. She was a New Bedford vessel and
was worth s30. 900.

dow Millions Are Picked Up I'm the
streets by Beggars.
The wealth Of Paris is 30 boundless that
the rubbish and refuse OF the city are
worth millions. There are more than
1000 persons who earn a living by pick
ing up what Others throw away. Twenty
thousand women and children exist by
sitting and sorting the gatherings OF the
pickers, who collect every day in the year
about 1900 tons of merchandise, which
they sell to the wholesale rag dealers for
some 70, 900 francs. At night you see men
with baskets strapped on their backs. a
lantern I'm one hand, and in the other a
stick with an iron hook on the md.
They walk along rapidly, their eyes
fxed on the ground, over which the Ian
tern filings a sheet OF light, and whatever
they find in the way OF paper, rags, bones.
grease, metal, etc, they stow away In
their baskets. In the morning, in front
OF each house, you see men, women and
children sitting the dust bins befor,
they are emptied into the scavenger,
carts. At various hours of the day yot
may remark isolated rag pickers, who
seem to work with less method than the
others and with a more independent air.
The night pickers are generally nov
ices-men who, having been thrown out
of work, are obliged to hunt for their
living like the wild beasts. The morning
pickers are experienced and regular
workers, who pay for the privilege OF
sitting the dust bins OF a certain number
OF houses and Of trading with the results.
The rest, the majority, are the coureurs,
the runners, who exercise their profess
sion freely and without control, working
when they please and loafng when they
please. They are the philosophers and
adventures of the profession, and their
chief object is to enjoy life and mediate
upon its problems.-Theodore Child, in
Harper's.

About Collecting Taxes.

To the DAILY LIGHT:
A novel way is adopted by Mayor
PaschaI to collect taxes. The very
fortunate Individual who OCCASION
ally participates in the pie-crust
that falls from the administrative
table, by receiving a job of work,
which yields him not over $50 a
year, is, after patiently waiting
for months to receive this pittance,
surprised to hear that he cannot
expect his pay, because he has
committed the great crime,
not to have paid his taxes.
Go and pay your taxes, then
showing the receipt therefore, you
will receive your pay. Such proce-
dure may be plausible with the
city employees who earn $75 or $3.50
dollars every month, but a poor
occasional laborer to be deprived Of
his just earning, and such a pit
lance as that, is, | am satisfied,
against any law on the statutes of
Texas, and considered barbarous
and unjust by every well-thinking
citizen. Many of these occasional
laborers l included have paid our
taxes for 10 to Is years punctual
and regular, only this year on &C
count of the very hard times, we
have not been able to pay same, it
is only a debt of sixty days to the
city, and such vigorous measures
to be adopted by the Mayor Pas
chal should be properly censured
and resented. O. SOLMS.

RENTALS TOO HIGH.
Thus Said the LIGHT and Thus it
Unquestionably is.


"The LIGHT is doing good serv-
ices" said a we'll known citizen to
a LIGHT man, sin calling attention
to high rents and asking reduc-
ton. The fact is rents, as rule,
were raised during the boom and
good times and, while then toler-
ated, are now as oppressive, that
arrearages in rentals is the rule
and not the exception, because
people cannot afford an eXOrbitant
tax on their incomes. How it will
end none know. Yet strange to say
landlords will keep up prices and
maintain empty premises. Where
by coming to a reasonable figure
good tenants could be secured.
This is the landlords loss, and
yet he follows the suicidal
policy of keeping up high
rentals. AS an example of this
l know tn; new store was bull
upon South Alamo street, near the
JuuCIuIc Will WILL SJIeSl' he
wanted 500 per month rental,
which few, if any businesses could
pay in that neighborhood. One
man, a grocer, agreed to take it on
lease as $50 per month. He is a
responsible party open to action
for debt and damages, but his offer
was refused. For two months the
premises have been vacant and are
likely to remain so until some ir-
responsible party agree to pay 500
in which probably the landlord
will lose heavily. In the mean
time he is losing the $50 per
month rental that was offered, but
of such stuff are some landlords
made.
