The Fakir and the cinoinnatian.

Cncinnatian just home from the world
fair tells the Times Star the following scene
in the Midway Plaisance: turbaned fakir
was yoiciferously plying his mysterious art,
and had crowd about him, when he eSpied
the benevolent looking countenance of Mr.
james Hicks, the well-known man about
town. everybody knows the redoubtable Jim

mere the man, the man with the good kind
face, he will see the fair play, he win count
the coin, he Will place the coin in the box so
everybody see, all fair done. The man take
the coin SO, and he drop in the box so, and
count and Mr.. Hicks took the coin and
slowly dropped them in little box, and with
the foreign coin silver dollar
Now" said the fakir, 1.-The man

for the forty eleventh time that he was sure
he had counted them Alright, and couldn't be
fooled. Now you hold-a the box and we
the fakir circled about Mr.. Hicks repeating
some mummery, and then exclaimed tri-
umphantly, Now, you ope the box and see
how many coin, the whole box full coin" and
Mr.. Hicks opened the box, and merciful DOW

like as though the inside Of the box was all

Hicks coat sleeve With yell he dropped
the box and scattered himself promiscuously
and so did the crowd. And the fakir picked
up his wriggling snake and his worthless coin
and his good silver dollar and grinned-and
sat himself down to wait for some benevolent
good, kind-looking victims. They say Mr.

u is persistently asserted and as per
sistcntly denied that Mr. Cleveland is %
sick man. IN q dispatch in the MoRN1NG
NEWS yesterday the report that Mr..
Cleveland is suffering from chronic dis
ease that may soon end his life is treated
as ridiculous. The assertion is made that
Mr. Cleveland himself says that he is in
good health, and is very much rested 10y
his stay at Gray Gables. On the other
hand some of the leading papers OF the
country declare. on what they say is the
best authority, that he had an operation
performed on his Jaw last summer while
on board Mr. Benedict's yacht, and
cancerOus growth removed. They also
declare that within the last few months
he has told some Of his intimate friends
that he is suffering from an organic
trouble from which he gets no relief, and
which he expects to end fatally at no
very distant day
II would seem as if the President him
self ought 10 be believed But if there is
nothing Of a serious nature the matter
with him, why is it that it is so persist
emily asserted that he has Bright's dis
ease or some other ailment that cannot
be controlled by physiciansl
1T viii be RECALLED that months before
the death of President Arthur just such
reports were prevalent and the denials
were just as persistent as they are in the
case of Mr. Cleveland In MIR. Blaine's
case also the reports that were constant
ly circulated that he had not long to live
We're met by statements from those near
est to him that the reports had no foun-
dation
1t may be that Mr.. Cleveland is physi-
cally sound and that the reports to the
contrary grew out of his statement when
he left Washington three weeks ago that
he was worn out and that it was ALSO
lutelyf necessary that he should have
rest The slightest foundation is suf-
ficent for all sorts of reports concerning
a man holding such high and response
Die position as he does, and it may be
that the reports that he is sick man are
groundless. 1t is certainly to be hoped
they are.

The speaker. according % the Chicago

glanced around and saw every man In the
room looking toward him, some smiling,
some Sowing.

suggested a real estate agent. who had the
hairy giant on the string for big cash

prairie voice. Phillips saw everything that
belonged to him big. and everything belong

suggesting, but the prairie man interrupted
with:

George Turner, the white man who is
under sentence to be hanged at Spartan
burg, S. c., to-day, has become locally
famous because of the atrocious charac-
ter of his crime. his wealth and the
trouble he and his friends have given the
authorities. The murder of which Tur-
ner was convicted was such a cold blooded
affair that at the time of his arrest a
lynching party made raid on the Jail in
tending to making short work of him
But the sheriff and a posse of citizens
made such stubborn defense that the
lynehers were foiled. During the siege
of the Jail by the lynchers they hauled
out an old cannon, mounted it. trained it
upon the jail and were about to fire upon
the building, in which were the sheriff
and his posse, when a newspaper re-
porter at the.risk of his life, fought his
way into the crowd and drove an iron
spike into the touch-hole of the cannon.
That was five or six years ago. Since
then Turner has had numerous respites,
new trials, suspensions of sentence, and
all of those things meanwhile making
good use of his money and friends to
work up public sentiment in his favor.
And in this he seems to have been some
what successful, for the MORNING NEWS
dispatches of yesterday said that a
scheme to rescue him from the authori-
ties was on foot. An attempt to put such
q scheme into practice would undoubtedly
result in bloodshed, and, if successful
would cheat the gallows of its choicest
frnit

pepew Recalls scrinture.

Mr.. Depew looked sharply at the speaker,
writes a New York Tribune man, then leaned
back in his chair and responded: Il was
wondering what our senior senator could
possibly be aiming at in joining Mr. PETER in
an attempt to harry the national banks 1t
put me in mind Of conversation l had the
other day with an eminent Democratic sena-
tor, who intends to vote to repeal the silver
purchase law, but who is an ardent friend of
free coinage of the white metal. In the course
of our talk he launched forth upon an elo-
quent eulogy of silver, sounding its praises as
a money metal with glittering, fifty-eight-
cents-On-t he-dollar eloqnence, His perora-
ton was especially intense, as he exclaimed
Silver was good enough for our Savior, and
what was good enough for Him is good
enough for me-
Il looked at my friend quietly for a few mo-
ments and then said: Senator, 1 fear that
your devotion to the study of these monetary
problems has interfered somewhat with your
recollection of the details of scripture history.
If my memory serves me correctly, it was
Judas Iscariot who was so anxious for silver
in those days, and when he got some he i'm
mediately proceeded to demonetize it!"

The farmer turned around on his seat and
looked the wagon-box over but there was
nothing to be seen but a bride, which needed
mending.

The democrats and republicans of Kan
sas, having reached the conclusion that
cit is time for all law-abiding people in
the staten to come together and unite
against the march of anarchy and dis
order that threatens TO destroy the good
name of Kansas" have formed fusion
in one county, and propose to extend it
throughout the state. 1t is good enough

even populists to destroy that which

An extraordinary duel between women
took place at Elizabeth, n J., the other
day, with weapons as deadly as they
We're odd. One fought with a potato
knife and the other with cannon ball.
They were old enemies and met by acct
dent at the house of a mutual friend.
Upon spying each other each sought a
weapon, with the result noted. The battle
was about three seconds long and victory
perched upon the cannon ball. The van
quished woman may die.

they are "tired of the governments fool

A correspondent with q weakness for
statistics is authority for the statement
that the repeal bill in the House cost the
congressman two million words of
speeches and the country S2sO,OO
in legislative expenses. The statistician
further figures out that the senator's are
likely to spend four million words on the
subject and that the further cost to the
country will be something like S5O0,O00
before bill goes to the President. How
ever, as about so per cent of the words
are of no account and the others will not
swell the expense to the government, no
body win growl. If the country should
be given sound money at cash cost of
$4,000, it would be cheaply purchased.
