A Captive Samson,

The natives of the Canary Islands
whom the Spanish conquerors found
there were a large and powerful race
fit is said to have been no uncommon
thing for a man to take an OK by the
horn with one hand, and slay him
with the other. s.-.- d.
Perhaps the most famous of these
strong men was Adargoma, of Grand
Canary, prisoner OF war, who could
.wrestle for two consecutive hours,
and having once been thrown under
most, squeezed his antagonist between
his legs and arms until his bones be-
gan to crack. 49,.
One day in Seville, Adargoma was
visited by brawny youth, who was
anxious to try a bout with him. -,
my good FRIEND" said Adargoma,
las we are going to wrestle together,
ht is only reasonable that we should
begin by drinking something."
+; A large bowl OF wine having been
brought, he took this in one hand,
and continued to address the chal]en-
ger: IF with both your arms you can
Ioverpower one of mine, 80 as to him
der me from drinking every drop OF
this wine, we will try our strength to-
gether;. If not you may return to
your home" .'.,: Y.~a
r. The struggle took place, and Adar-
gonna by degrees drained the bowl in
the coolest manner without splitting a
drop OF the wine. His one hand was
more than a match for the others
two. -. l% rs. !.

evening he arrested a couple Of young

! "And who do you suppose one Of

answer.
Il why, it was none other than Louis
Napoleon, who was afterward the
emperor of France, Napoleon III. He
was then a bartender over in Ho-
boken, and had come over to New
York that night on a little racket.
He drank too much and got noisy, as
t'renchmen will, so I had to arrest
him. He took it very good natured-

"Arthur, l have told you. For
three years 1 have borne this secret in
my breast, and lacked the courage at
this last supreme hour to see the Light
of affection die from your eyes
whence looked soul so loyal and
white that it never sought for evil in
others-and to behold in it's place the
terrible surprise, the anguish, the
hatred-I have added perpetual sill
ence to ray dishonor. But now that
have told into your dead ear how vile
thing | am, marvel that your soul
does not return for one awful moment
of wrath. only to give life to your
hand that it may strike me dead"
Again silence. The pale light OF
dawn stole i'm through the open win

Eating invisible freshness which envel-
oped the Living as the sweet, cool at
mosphere which comes with one who
enters from a bright, wintry day..
A long, tremnlous sigh futtering into
life-it came not from the lips of him
who with pallid face and starting eve
balls now gazed upon the face OF the
dead. The closed eyes opened-a
sweet, tender smile stole across the
parted lips-slowly the hand moved
from the still bosom, and seeking the
hand of the Living held it for an in
slant In q firm, warm clasp.
Then as the new day burst into life,

the opening of the flowers upon the
dead Woman's grave, there came up

Mending Suspension-Bridge
The cables of suspension-b bridge;
are subjected to great strains, and;
are therefore firmly anchored to heavy.
masses OF masonry by means of long
bars OF iron or steel, having holes at;
each end, by which they are bolted:
or pinned together. The Engineering
News says that one OF the bars in the
anchorage of one end of the smaller
suspension bridge at Niagara was
found recently to be broken. The
problem OF replacing it was difficult;
since the wires attached to itshad to-
have the same tension when it was
in place that they had when the old
bar was intact. The new bar was form
ed OF q piece of steel twenty feet long,
six inches wide, and three. quarters of
an inch thick, with a hole in one end,
and band bolted to the other. This
band was designed to pass around an
iron bar in the abutment and resist
the pull of the wires. When the band
had been placed about this pin in the
masonry and bolted to it's bar, the
bar was carefully heated by wooden
fire in a trough below until it had ex-
panded sufficiently to allow the end Of
the wire cable to be connected with it.
AS it cooled it contracted, until whenit
reached it's normal temperature the
wires attached to it were strained to
the same degree as the others, and IN
this way a difficult problem was easily
and cheaply solved.

PopuIisis Hold Another M~eeting-R. G.
Davies Make m Address.
About thirty populists were a. Assembly
hall last night to hear X. G.. Davies. the
Montana delegate to the Bi-Metallic lenRue
ut Washington, and to talk about the np-
rroaohing city campaign. Mr.. Davies. who
has recently returned from Washington,
where a meeting of the League WAS held,
spoke for nearly two hours. He snid tho
eastern yeople were denselv ignorant in
many sections on the silver question. One
Of the principal things advocated by
the members of the league was to
educate tho people. This would take n
good deal of literature IN the question.
| All of the states were assessed for this pur-
pose. Colorado and Montana are each OK
peoted to raise S. 900 and the other statss
in smaller sums. MIR. Davies WAS the only
delegate from Montana present at the
meeting OF the league. He was made the
vice. president for Montana ard empowered
to select four men from the state TO assist
him in raising tho $1,000. The big MINE
owners will be asked to contribute. Gnd
every man in the state who il interested in
the silver question ID expected to join thu
league, which will cost HIM 81. For thi,
he will receive copies Of all the literature
issued By the league. After this Mr.. DAVIS
turned his attention to the national bank
ing system. He said it must be done ava
with and declared that the trouble will

which this could be Brought about
would be to argue the bankers over
to his way of thinking. Nothing
could be accomplished by abusing them.
The trouble was that there was too much
money in tho banking business. which he
said was very profitable, but more capital
should be turned into other channels so as
10 furnish more employment. A commit
tee was appointed to arrange for public
meetings in the neai future to be addressed
by Senators Jones and Stewart.
After this there was some discussion
about the city campaign and 1t was decided
that no ono should be allowed to
vote at populist primaries unless he
had signed the platform of the
party. The date OF the primaries was
fixed for March IS. Five delegates and
to attend the city convention. No names
twere mentioned during the discussion as to
available candidates for mayor. A gentle
| man from the First wa'd thought Aug.
Fack would BIO q good man to run for alder
man in that watd. No date was set for the
city convention. The ssntiment Of the
meeting was that the populists should wait
until the other parties had put tickets in
the field.
The following were selected by the city
central committee to be submitted to the
city ouncil for judges OF elections: First

GO SLOW. SAYS GROVER.

Your Uncle Grover is fast building a
barbed wire fence for protection against
hordes of Office seekers. He has served
official notice OF his policy not to reap
point officers who served under his last
administration because, as he says,

Another pronunciamento is of scarcely
less interest. Postmaster General Bis

men need apply for post offices because,

rather than imaginary clients, will very

shall, however, follow closely the differ
