AGAINST DRINKING WATER.
Man Who Was Rather FastidiOui
About Using the Tank Cup.

Man Who Was Rather FastidiOus
About Using the Tank Cup.
From the New York Tribune
In a room where many people gather in a
day is a water tank, and a porcelain cup
hangs from it by a chain. A New York
man, going up to 1t with a friend to get a
drink of water, attempted to show the other
how one might drink from a public cup and
still not mingle lips so to speak.
You see'' he said, II do it this way.
take up the cup and touch my lips to it at
this point, closest to the handle Every one,
you know, naturally holds cup by the
handle. Holding it thus it is extremely
awkward to get ones lips anywhere except
on certain part of one side of the rim, so
that people without knowing it place their
lips to almost the same spot. But as you
see," he went on, illustrating his action,
Il twist it around this way and get an I'M
touched spot"
That was a good theory, but it was not
borne out by facts. The two stood near the
water cooler for some time in conversat ton.
Meanwhile several people came up to get
drinks of water. About half of them had
the same theory as the first man, SO that
they all landed on the same place by inten-
ton. OF the rest some picked up the cup
haphazard and drank from any side of the
rim, that their lips were as likely to
touch the rim near the handle as any other
place, some were boldly daring and didn't
seem to care.
The theorists attention was called to the
condition of affairs.
Yes he said there is only one thing to
do-swear off on water"
THANK you," said his friend. I'll take
beer"

A strange case of suicide was discovered

Stranger. mounted on a young brown mare
slUpped at the home OF Lee Oswald. near
Smithsburg. and asked If he could sleep all
night In the stable. He was given permis-
sion to do so and nothing more was thought
Of him. The next morning when the Os-
walds went out to the stable they found
the dead body of the stranger dangling from
a rafter in the roof, from which he had sus-
pended himself by the halter from around
his horses neck, which he had taken off
and fastened around his own. He had evil

he prepared to hang himself, and then when
he was ready gave her a kick and drove
her out from under him. The authorities
In the neighborhood We're at once notified
and the body cut down, but all attempts to
Identify it have so far proved futile. 1t was
at hrst supposed that the suicide was Solo,
mon MichaelS of near Myerville, this county
but his brother, J. H. Michaels of VOLTS
Vile. who was sent for, failed to identity
MIN. The man was about thirty-five years
OF age, with brown beard and mustache,
nigh, broad forehead and light COMPLEXION
warmly dressed, about five feet six inches
tall and weighed 40 pounds. Coroner Sim
ners of the vicinity summoned a jury of
inquest, ana they .endered a verdict that
The stranger came to his death by suicide
Since then an effC 1T has been made to con-
meet the stranger with thief who stole a.
horse Tuesday light from the stable OF
John Hutzell, near Smoketown. The horse
stolen and the horse ridden by the stranger
were exactly alike in appearance, but no one
can conjecture by what motive a horse thief
could have been led to commit suicide in
so singular manner. The body of the un-
fortunate man is being held in the hope that
someone will be able to identify it.
Excitement was caused here on Friday
by the arrival in the city of Sheriff S. S
Warwick OF Cumberland, Allegheny county,
who said he was on the track of the muir
derers of z. E. Haldeman and had a clue
that they could be found in Frederick He
ran out all the sources of his information In
a little while, however, and returned to Cum
berland in the afternoon empty handed.
sudden death from the grip occurred in
this county Thursday morning. Mrs. Jacob
Wiles, who lived at the home of her daugh-
ter at Harmony, was taken sick with 1t
about a week ago, but did not become SER
iously i'll till Thursday morning, when she
was seized suddenly with something like
Group and died at . o'clock. Her husband
had left early in the morning for Hagers-
town, to make arrangement to move and
when he returned in the evening found his
wife a corpse. She was sixty-nine years
old and leaves seven children.
