Pictures of PREHISTORIC Man.

There is trouble in Munich over
a painting belonging to the
"prehistoric-peep" school, with
some aspects of which Mr.. Reed is
at present making us familiar in
the pages of London punch" Pro-
fessor Hacked, who lately celebra-
ted his sixtieth birthday, has been
for very many years one of the
chief opponents Of evolution in
Germany. AS a special mementO
of this portion of his life's work,
painting was dedicated to him by
Gabriel Max. In it the artist
depicts a much earlier state of
society than that portrayed by Mr..
Reed, and there is certainly no sus-
piciOn of humor in his purpose.
The picture represents the
manners of PliOCene man, the sup
posed link between the ape and the
present day humanity. The woman
members Of the Pliocene family
are shown crawling on all tours on
the graund with their children at
their breasts, while the lords of
creation lean leisurely against
some trees in the background.
The Munich clergy think the
painting too prehistoric, and they
have just held a very heated dis.
cussion with the view of having
the sale of Photographic copies
prohibited. Notwithstanding this
opposition, however, there appears
to be little doubt that the original
will in due course reach its des-
tined place on the walls of Munich
Gallery.

The Last of a Mighty Army.

From the Washington Post.
Sixty years from to-day, it may
be in some great cemetery of the
nations dead, or haply within
some quiet churchyard, will be
reared a mound Of flowers over the
grave of the last survivor of the
civil war. For though he be a
stranger among strangers, a waif
upon the shore left by the receding
tide, with not a comrade to bear
him company, he will not be I'M
befriended. There will be sons Of
veterans, grandsons of veterans,
daughters and granddaughters of
veterans to guard his declining
footsteps, to smooth his dying
moments, sublimer far than those
OF Napoleon at st. Helena, to write
his wondrous epitaph and over
his ashes built fitting monument.

A fight occurred yesterday after
noon about ) o'clock in the office of
City Auditor Meyer, City hall, be-
tween Alderman VIM. Hoefing
a I'd Disappointment of Public
Works Mickleiohn, in which Mr..
MickleiOhn was knocked down by
his elder and weighty antagonist
and Mr.. Hoetling was stabbed six
times by Mr.. Micklejohn.
The fight caused big sensation
and few minutes after it happen
ed, the City hall was thrOnged with
the friends Of both parties, anxious
to learn the particulars and Of
course, taking sides with their
friends, as they learned the facts.
The wounds of Mr.. HOetling are
not serious, though he has got two
cuts in his neck, one dangerously
near the iugular vein, one in the
groin, one over the abdomen, one
in the shoulder and long rip up
the back, which penetrated through
coat, vest, suspenders and shirt.
DIR. Withers dressed the wounds.
Mr.. MicklejOhn used an ordinary
tWO.inCh blade pocket knife.
II MiCklejOhn had never been
depOsed from his office as superin-
tendent Of public works, the en-.
counter, very probably, would
never have taken place, although
it has been a we'll known fact be-
tween their friends that hard feel
ings existed between the two men
for some time.
Yesterday afternoon MiCkleiOhn
accompanied by Mr.. W. J. Paige
called at the auditors office and
made inquiries from Assistant
Auditor Sauer and Auditor Meyer
as to why one Of the pay rolls Of
the sidewalk fund, on which were
the names of certain employees o.
his, had not been paid. He was moi
pleased with the answer he re
ceived and began warlike demon
strations. Mr.. Hoefling came in
and as an interested spectator
leaned on the railing about the desl
until Mr.. MicklejOhn addressed
him and began using extremely
abusive language to him, Mr.. Hoef
ling told him he wanted no trOubl,
with him and started to wall
away when Micklejohn eithe
slapped him in the face or laid
OBTAINING hand on his shoulder
Here the witnesses are at variance
Mr.. Hoetling Immediately knocked
him down. In falling the me-
cIinched and then the pocket knit
work was done. They were separ
a6ed by friends who rushed int
the room, and Mr.. Micklejohn wa
arrested on a charge Of assault t
murder, and Mr.. Hoetling wake
over TO a doctors office and ma
his wounds dressed. Later in tn
afternoon Mr.. Micklejohn was RI
Leased on $1,000 bond.

MONSTER MEETING.
SEWERS DISCUSSED BY ABLE MEN
Mission Garden Pavilion Overcrowd-
ed-A Reporters Mistaken
Break.

The largest crowd of the season
attended the mass meeting at Mis-
sion garden last night, the large
hall, built to a seating capacity of
900, being completely damned with
taxpayers.
The meeting was for the last
discussion of the sewer ques-
ton and the speakers were
Mayor Paschal, Alderman Daugh-
erty, City Attorney Levy and
Judge Kellar. All made magnifi-
cent efforts, Mayor Paschal's
speech being really the effort of his
life. He made many converts to
the sewer question, and paid strict
attention to the enemies of
the proposition. His remarks
were sent in so hot that reporter
for the morning paper, forgetting
his mere reportorial capacity and
accrediting the mayors remarks
strictly to himself, made a war
play, which the crowd received
with Kisses and cries Of "put him
out He subsidized quickly and
the meeting went on without
further disturbance.
The opposition did not accept the
invitation to discuss the question
and there were no speakers from
that side.

Puff Balls as Food.

From the Louisville Post.
1t will surprise many to know
that the plebeian puff-ball of our
pastures is good for something
beside Old-fashiOned stypic, smoke
and the kick of the small boy.
There are a number of species of
the puff-ball, varying in shape and
size from the small white globu-
lar variety Of an inch in diameter,
and the pear-shaped, to the giant
pasture species which many attain
the Dimensions of a football. All
are edible, if gathered at the white
stage, that Of yellow or darker
fracture being excluded.
OF the excellent qualities of the
larger species, Lycoperdon gigan-
teum, we may judge from the
statement of a cOnnoisseur. Sliced
and seasoned in butter and salt
and fried in the pan, no French
omelet is half as good in richness
and delicacy OF flavor. M. c. Cooke,
the British authority, says of it:
"In its young and pulpy condition
it is excellent eating, and indeed
has but few competitors for the
place of honor at the table"
