A Fake Newspaper Man.

According to recent dispatches the
sensational accounts which all the papers
had a few days ago of the storming of
the Jail at Bakersville, N. c., the shoot
ing of the sheriff, the desperate battle
between the mob and the sheriff's posse
and the lynching of three prisoners was
all "fake," as the newspaper men call
it, devised by man named Hyams, as
sistant city editor of q paper at johnson
City, Tenn. Correspondents who were
sent from Asheville, N. c., to Bakersville
have returned worn out and disgusted,
saying there is no trouble whatever there,
nor is there any reason to expect any.
The man Hyams who was guilty of
telling and publishing this abominable
lie should be discharged from his own
paper and blacklisted by every respect
able newspaper in the United States.--

The revival of such cities as Athens
and Damascus can be explained by the
unrivaled advantage of their location.
an advantage which has also more than
once proved the salvation of Constant
nople. The fire service of the Turkish
capital is century behind the average
of the times, and in the southern suburbs
there are miles of streets lined with
nothing but wooden houses, but the aris
tocratic quarters in their present condi
ton are really almost fireproof The
palaces of the Turkish grandees are built
almost exclusively of stone, the very
floors consisting of mosaic OF varie-
gated marble. while an abundance of
water is supplied by indoor baths and
fountains, but in addition to all that
they are surrounded by acres of ever
green shrubs, which in their turn are in
closed by massive stone walls.
A single establishment of that sort
and their number runs up in the hun
dred-could stand unscathed in the
midst of flaming streets, and old STAN
boul may in the same way survive a
bombardment of the predicted Russian
invasion. Its site at all events would
insure its resurrection. San Francisco

Just after Jay Gould's death, wealthy
Wall street broker made a proposition
to young man who was not wealthy
but who had been able to do the broker
a favor, which the latter appreciated
The proposition was couched in language
something like this: "Dick, you have
rendered me valuable service, and ]
want to do something for you. l Twill
tell you what l will do. will carry 100
shares of Manhattan stock for you for a
month, or | will buy you the best suit of
clothes that you can pick out. Which
will you takeF"
The young man considered the propo-
sition for a few minutes and replied: 81
believe that Manhattan railway stock
will eventually go up, but if l should be
the holder of 100 shares it would be GER
tain to go down. Such is my luck in-
variably. will take the suit of clothes :"
On Friday this young man figured up
how much he had lost by making the
choice that he did When Mr.. Gould
died, Manhattan was selling at 1872. On
Friday it sold at fraction above ia
Had the young man chosen the 100 shares
and sold them Friday he would have
been about $4,000 richer.-New York

Not many men can have sacrificed
their lives for so trifling an article as
cigarette end. This, however, is what
has been done by a French private sol
der with the curiously outlandish name
of Schwinghedaw. This man, who had
a bad character in the army for his in
subordination, was undergoing one Of
many terms of Imprisonment he has had
at Bicetre military prison, when he
picked up cigarette end that had been
thrown down in the exercise ground.

his superior with his fist. A court mar

A Unique Invention.

The last application of the penny-in-
the-slot principle is characterized by
common sense, ingenuity and utility.
Hitherto the public has fed the automatic
machine with coppers in return for value.
In tine latest plan the process has been
reversed. The public VIII receive pen
nies instead of giving them. Inc idea is
this: To the person who turns q crank
100 times the machine yields up one
penny. The crank is connected inside
with dynamo. and the 100 revolutions
of the handle manufacture and store
quantity of electrical energy which is to
be eventually retailed by the owners of
the machine for the purpose of produc-
ing illumination.
The plan appears to be feasible enough,
and it would certainly in districts where
unemployed labor abounded be pro-
ductive of considerable good. No man
need go in want Of meal who can ap-
ply himself to the electrical automatic
machine. And the invention might be
capable of wide application. Why should
not every household be provided with
one? Every member of the family might
in the name of exercise give the handle
so many hundred turns day sufficient,
if that were possible, to provide cleo
tricity enough for the purposes of light
ing.
The turning of the crank might super
sede dumbbell practice in the mornings,
and during the summer months it might
be possible to store enough electrical
energy to tide over the winter. From
tlfe point of view of the man in the street
it would be interesting to know what in
come he could make in a week by Il
reasonable expenditure of effort Even
if only 100 revolutions could be per-
formed in five minutes, the operator
would be working at the rate of shil-
ling an hour, scale of remuneration
much in excess of that paid in some in
dustries involving quite as much physical
eXertion.
