TRYING SAM JONES' TACTICS.

A funny story comes up from Birm-
ingham, Alabama. where that vulgar
and illiterate person, Sam Jones, has
been holding revival services" His
customary epithets, SO rms the tale,
such as You dirty yellow hound dog"
You imp of hell" were frequently
used and often applauded. A local
negro preacher, Parson Isaac David
son, heard these expressions and not
ed the manifestations ofapproval with
which they were received. He was SO
impressed with the ''evangelist's" ora
torical curves, SO to speak, that he de-
termined to give his own sermons a
similar twist. Accordingly last Sun
day, he had not gone far in his dis
course before he cried out: you
black devils You imps of hell. You
sow catsr' Then arose a hubbub.
Kill him. shouted big black broth
er, who sat near the front and to
whom the preacher appeared to ad-
dress his remarks. Kill him. was
echoed through the congregation.
The good old sisters joined in the cry
and the congregation was upon him.
Finally some charitible person sug
gested that he was crazy, and the par
sons own wife endorsed this assertion.
He was secured and watched like a
maniac. He explained that he was
trying Sam Jones's tactics on his con-
gregation but his people, not having
heard that exhorter, could not be con
WINGED that these methods were GUS
tomary, and had the parson arrested
for using "cuss words" in the pulpit.
He has not yet had his trial. If he be
convicted, he ought to sue Sam Jones.

CONGRESSIONAL REPORTERS.
Quick Work OF Stenographers and Type.
writer's at the National Capital.

Among many things left out which
are paid for out of the contingent
funds is the item of salaries for the Of
fetal reporters, says Il Washington
correspondent of the Boston Transcript.
These are the men who write out the
reports of proceedings and debates
which make up the daily publications
called the Congressional Record. There
are five of them on the floor Of the
house, who sit at table in front of
the speakers desk. 1t is their duty to
report every word that is said from
the opening to the adjournment Be-
ing all of them rapid stenographers.
they manage by taking turns. As
quickly as No. l has got 900 words
put down he holds up his thumb and
No. takes up the thread, very likely
in the middle of speech, while No.
goes down to 4 room on the floor be-
low, where he dictates the 1000 words
which he has taken to two shorthand
writers-500 words to one and 500 10
the other.
While the two shorthand writer's are
copying off their notes quickly in type
script. reporter No. goes back to his
Meanwhile No. 2 has finished his 1000
words and held up his thumb to No. 3,
who in turn takes up the thread, while
No. goes downstairs and dictates
and so on, until No. 5 holds up his
thumb to No. l, and the business goes
on as before. This arrangement rem
ders it possible to have the complete
typewriter report of the house pro-
ceedings ready for the printer few
minutes after that body adjourns. 1t
is the same way in the senate. Thus
each congressman finds on his break
fast table next morning a copy of the
Record, comprising complete report
of everything that was said and done
in the national legislature on the day
before. These skilled stenographerS
get s., 900 year each.
There are ten of them, and so it
costs $4,000 year for the writing of
the Congressional Record, the stenOg-
raphers paying their own assistants.
The printing of this interesting daily
publication is done at an expense of
nearly $3.50, 900 annually. During the
last fiscal year it used up 325, 900
pounds of paper and 1858 pounds of
ink. For the titles and ornamentation
on bound copies $50 packages of gold
leaf were required, valued at $1,000.
Five barrels of flour were consumed
in the shape of paste for binding.
During the first session of the last
congress the outlay on the printing Of
bills and joint resolutions for both
house and senate was H1,8S0. During
the two sessions 1887 such documents
were presented to the house and 1896
to the senate. Bills have to be printed
and reprinted at all stages of their
progress, so that single one may
have to be put into type score OF
times before it becomes 4 law.

We refer to the discovery as to the cause
of chronic diseases of the stomach, liver, kid

The doctor has traced the cause to certain
nerves that have control of these organs, and
by prescribing DR.. Shops RESTORATIVE, a

Patchopue. Long Island CORES

Patchogue, Long Island, CORES
pondence of The New York Sun;
Joseph Dare, business man, while
driving from Patchogue to Selden the
other day, overlook man clothed in
rags, whose eyes We're red and sunken.
while his hair hung all over his face
and shoulders. He crouched down
when overtaken like beast expecting
punishment Mr. Dare did not stop
to question him. Edward Gerodette,
while out hunting day or two later,
saw man covered with rags running
through the woods near Canaan.
Several young men went up IN the
woods to-day and discovered cave in
a secluded hollow in the pine covered
hills near Canaan, which is a little
settlement north of here. They watch
ed for several hours, and were finally
rewarded by seeing man crawl out
of the opening on his hands and knees.
He had big axe in his hand, and as
he rose to his feet his body was seen
to be covered with rags and crowned
by large head, which, with the wild
ooking face was covered with long,
matted, sandy hair. The strange
creature glided silently over the pine
needle carpeted floor of the pine grove,
and in a cultivated field a half mile off
began to pick up carrots and put them
in his pocket. The men watching
him followed him up cautiously, as
they knew he would run if he saw
them. They finally got within speak
ing distance and hailed him. At the
sound of their voices he scudded for
the woods and was soon lost to sight
in his cave. The discovery to-day of
this strange creature recalls to the
minds of some people here the mys-
FERROUS actions of Sam Mott years ago,
and they think he is the wild man.
Sam Mott lived with his mother in
a small house in Canaan for twenty
five years, and the people in the settle
ment say he was never seen to come
out of doors in the quarter of a cen
fury. Finally, the old woman died,
and still the son, now a burly man, re
fused to quit the house. When, at
last, it fell down he took to the woods

Don't Discard the Suspenders.

The stout man who wears tight
belt around his waist to give him an
appearance of jauntiness. as well as to
do the suspender service, does not
know what harm he is doing to him.
self A doctor told me yesterday that
the wearing of tight belt by man,
especially stout man, is most injuri-
Gus to health. 1t stops the circulation
and does not permit the digestive or
gans to operate as they should. When
asked why it should be so much more
injurious for a man to wear anything
tight around his waist than it is for a
woman, who is laced up year in and
year out, the doctor said: "A man
and woman can't be compared in that
regard. A man uses entirely different
muscles in breathing than woman.
He becomes accustomed to breathing
from his abdomen, while woman
breathes almost entncly from her
chest. Men had better wear loose
belts and provide some other substi-
tute for suspenders. "-PttSburg Dis

Physicians in New York.

1t will no doubt surprise many per.
sons to learn that three-quarters of the
beA-known physicians of New York
were born south of Mason and Dixon's
line. and are consequently only New
Workers by adoption. This statement
is made upon the authority of an emf
nent physician on Madison avenue,
who had an occasion to investi gate the
subject. The class of physicians re-
ferred to are those whose income is
$4,000 a year and upward. They are
men who have attained rank in the
general practice of medicine. Many
OF them have distinguished themselves
BY important discoveries in medical
science and surgery.-N. J. Sun

Another strip Of Indian lands, the
northern part of the Colville reservation.

open to settlement next fall. Govern
ment surveyors completed their survey
OF the strip about week ago. The reser-
yaton is bounded on the north by the
British Columbia boundary line, on the
west by the Okanogan river and on the
south and east by the Columbia river.
The portion to be thrown open for settle
ment extends the whole width of the res
eryation and from the British Columbia
boundary to about thirty-six miles south.
1t has an approximate area of $500
square miles. There are few Indians

ing from him his revolver and club, to
go with them to the postOtfice, where
one guarded him while the others
forced an entrance to the building.

blindfolded and bound the officer,
blew open the safe, secured about 5000

yer, overlooking in their haste bag
of coin that was in safer place.
