has been the editor Of the ST. Paul
Globe and was recently honOred by an

Mr.. fancy is very properly remeui-

Through thick and thin Mr.. fancy has
stood by Mr.. Cleveland's candidacy and
no power and no influence could change
his course or make him believe that the
nomination OF any other man was pos
sible at the recent Chicago convention.
Besides, Mr.. TaDe y has very materially
improved the REGISTER in recent years
and has mR.1e it q more reliable and a
more creditable supporter Of Democrat

history. He has a month or six weeks

Objections by Business Men.
bs E;d,for of The RsoisteS.

SIR:-Allow me to file an objection to
the manner In which the Telephone
Company is tearing up Market street
for its conduits. The ditch is now open
from the south line Of Eleventh street
to the north line of Twelfth, a distance
probably of 400 feet, to the great incon-
venience of business men on the block.
If there was any earthly use Of this l
wouldn't say a word, but as the
contractors can't possibly use such a
length of open ditch TO advantage, l
would suggest that the Board OF Public
Works limit the open ditch to half a
SQUARE at a time. Some of the ditch
now open has been in that condition
for nearly a week. MERCHANT.

Bullet Proof Uniform.

Now everyone is talking about the
possibilities of the bullet uniform
which a syndicate has offered the Ger
man government. Many people ask II
there is not another ente. Already five
bullet proof uniform patents are in
sight. The one, however, that has SO
far inspired most confidence in the
military mind is the material invented
by the tailor Of Mannheim, where it
has been tested against every we'll
known rifle except the Lebel to the ut
most satisfaction of the military author
tiles. 1t is said that when bullet
touches this material, although it may
fiatten against it, it will not pierce.
This invention has been purchased by
man named Heinemann, who is said
to have offered it to the Chancellor
for 100000 marks. In the mean
time the material is causing a great
deal of talk, and if it 10 what Dove,
the Mannheim tailor, processes it to be-,
it will revolutionize modern warfare.
1 may mention that the most qualified
military authorities are very skeptical
as to the efficacy of their wonderful
bullet-proof material. Que Of the most
prominent, speaking on the subject q
few days ago, reminded his hearers OF
the well-known story of man who
claimed TO have invented such pro-
tective material, and who offered to
sell it to the Duke of Wellington. The
later bluntly replied fright. But
you must give us test. You must
put on your uniform and then my men
shall fire six shots atyou." The inyen-
tor was never seen again. But in fact
of that we have the wonderful faith
shown by those who saw Mannheim
trials. Some officers throw ridicule on
it. To be fully protected the soldi, 1
must beclothed in the armor from
head to foot. This would be uncom-
Portable on warm day during a
forced march, but it would be more
uncomfortable to be the subject of the
surgeons knife or probe as a conse
quence of discarding the tailor's novel
suit. So far it would appear that ont
tailor is a better man than nine gun

Doctor S.---was noted among his
professional brethren for his power OF
concentration. When once he bent
his mind to problem he became
totally oblivious of everything about
him.
The doctor had a horse that was
almost as famous as himself. Among
her peculiarities was the habit of shy
ing. She would not shy at things
which most horses consider fit sub
jects for that sort of depression. She
would pay no attention whatever to
a newspaper blowing about the
streets, but was MORALLY afraid of a
covered wagon. At the sight of one
of New Haven's suburban stages she
would run over the curbstone and
threaten not only the doctors life, but
that of the chance passer. Or this
habit she could not be broken. Ii
seemed as though she could smell
stage long before it came in sight, SC
that the doctor would go-half dozen
blocks out of his way rather than
meet one Early one morning he re-
cceived telephone call to the effect
that one of his patients had become
alarmingly worse. Without waiting
for his carriage, he started to walk,
the distance being about mile. His
mind became absorbed in the case
but not SO much so that he did not
remember that the course of the Sey-
mour stage lay right in his path. He
looked at his watch and saw that he
would be sure to meet it If he went
the shortest way. He was In hurry
to get to his patient, but there was nc
help for it. He uttered maledictior
over the circumstance, and turned of
at the first corner. This obliged him
nearly to double the distance, and the
day was warm. He walked as ht
never walked before, and failed tc
recognize couple OF intimate friends
whom he nearly ran over.
1t was not until he had spent two
hours with his patient, and came on
to look for his horse, that he began t.
realize that he had walked mile on
of his way so that he need not shy a
