PLuckY ARMless MEN.
Some Who Have Succeeded in Spite o
Their Great Misfortune.

Some Who Have Succeeded in Spite of
Their Great Misfortune.
There are many persons who, through
one misfortune or another, lose their
arms: 1t is a terrible loss, but have
often admired the pluck and ingenuity
of some persons, who would not let
this misfortune overcome them. L
knew a young fellow, seventeen years
of age, who, at a celebration of some
political victory, was aiding another
young man to load cannon, when the
gun went off before they We're ready,
and while they were ramming home
the charge, says the New York Adver-
tiser, it blew both arms off both young
men. One of them afterward died, but
Bob, as we called him, survived and
got well. For years he has successfully
managed good business, as the keep
er of a restaurant and bakery, and em-
ployed his brothers and sisters to help
him. 1t is wonderful how well he keeps
track of the business and plans it, and
he can open doors, go after the mail,
and attend to a great variety of busi-
ness. People who have lost their arms
have become artists, some holding the
brush in their teeth, and others train
ing themselves to paint with their
Some years ago there was in Brussels,
Belgium, an artist with no hands, but
who was very skillful in using his feet
in painting. He handled the brushes
and palette with great skill, and his
paintings, which were mostly cafes,
were very attractive.
Another young man. who lost both
his legs and arms, learned to paint by
holding his brush in his mouth, and
painted sitting up in bed. Mr. I'm
than, who performed in New York, is
without arms, and holds cornet in his
toes and puts it to his mouth and
plays, will eat and drink, feeding HIM
self. loads and shoots guns with accu-
racy, and plays cards with his feet.
There are SO many things that
man can learn to do, who is unfortun-
ate, that we admire the pluck and
persistence of these men, who will not
let their condition chain them down,
but show an adaptability that is won
derful. Let no one, no matter how un-
fortunate they may be, get dis
couraged, but strive to overcome their
difficulties. They will grow stronger
and be happier and better.

NORTH YAKIMA, WASH, May TO-
There have been no further encounters
between the United States deputy mar
shals and the industrials. The latter
are still here and claim they will take
the first east-bound freight. Deputy
Marshal Ed. Minch, of Tacoma, is here
in charge of about so specials, and Joe
Warren, with 81 men all armed with
rifles, arrived this morning from Spo-
kane. The city is crowded with people
who gather in. knots and crowds to dis
cuss the situation. 1t is claimed that
some citizens melted the commonweal-
ers to resistance and did much to pre-
cipitate the conflict of last night, and a
clerk OF the United States court at Se-
attic is here with citations for 10 of
those who made the most inflamn .tory
remarks. This move has created con-
siderable excitement and uneasiness
among some citizens, and the mum Der
OF citations may be increased, as deputy
marshals are closely inquiring about
those who encouraged the Coxeyites.
There seems to be a difference of opinion
as to who shot the deputy marshals, a
number of witnesses of the conf ct
maintaining that they were shot by
their companions. Deputy Jolly who
was wounded in the back, has been
taken to Tacoma. Physicians who have
examined him say he cannot live, as the
bullet is supposed to have cut the in
testines.

A PuzzLlNe ADDRESS.
The Remarkable Feat of Bright Spanish
Postal Clerks.

Postal Clerks.
Ex-senator Palmer, of Michigan,
who, according to the Washington
Star, who was minister to Spain for
time, says they have bright postal
clerks in the land of the dons as well
as in this country. In proof of the
assertion he tells of curiously ad-
dressed letter which passed through
the post office at Madrid while he was
in that capital. According to the ex-
senator and ex-minister, the address
was perfect rebus. At the left-hand
side was the figure of lady. This
made it clear to which sex the one to
whom the letter was addressed be-
longed. Over the lady's head was
rising sun, which was interpreted as
indicating that her name was Aurora.
For her surname there was hill,
with a castle at its foot, or in Spanish
Monies Castillo" For the town
there was the plan of a city drawn, in
which the Alhambra appeared. OF
course that meant Granada, especially
as a pomegranate was drawn beside
the plan of the city. The address was
completed by a number in one of the
streets of the plan. The postal au-
tsorities took three days to study this
curiosity, said ex-senator Palmer, and
then delivered it in triumph to ''Senor-
ita Aurora Monies y>Castillo, Aza-
cayas No. 20, Granada So proud
were the postal authorities of this feat
that they had the envelope photo
graphed and printed in the Madrid
papers as proof of the acumen of the
department. ''All the foreigners in
Madrid were very much amused by the
affair said Mr.. Palmer.

NEWS NOTES.

The first item in the tariff bill, acetic
acid, was taken up and an amendment
by Senator Allison to substitute the
Mills-bill rate was adopted by secret
party vote in the senate yesterday.
In the senate yesterday Teller favored
the Allen resolution. Coxey was a law
abiding citizen. He and his followers
had trudged through snow and mud,
and we're entitled to respectful consider
ations He did not indorse the statute
under which they had been arrested.
He did not think the senate could refuse
to investigate the police clubbing. He
himself would furnish the names of wit
nesses. Whether C,.xey was a crank or
not did not matter; his statement was
absurd as were many others put forward
in the hour of distress, but it was not l.
wicked scheme. 1t only asked congress
to provide work for the Unemployed.
In London, Swiss lunatic by the
name of Tabottier was left for half an
hour in a hot bath at a hospital and
boiled to death. The officials of the
hospital say it was an accident. The
man was subject to violent fits, and it
had been the custom to fix him down in
a bath to calm. The water was turned
on yesterday by mistake.

The picture of sn Iriah, man In Ireland that is the clearest and most persistent in most minds presents him as dancing around, waving a shills, lah, and wild with usquebaugh and noun tain dew. It Is not yet shown that he does not wave more shiilalahs than the people of other countries, but it Is. shown that he does not spend his whole time in the co, stasy of utquebaugh. It Is further shown that he does not even drink BE much us- qusbaugh aa the thrifty and pious people of Scotland, or the highly respectable and earth-oonquering English. Sir William Harcourt, the Euglish chancellor of the eI' chequer, points out that the annual ex penditure per capita for whiskey last year was niretesn shillings in Scotland, sixteen in England and thirteen in Ireland.

REPUTATION NOT CHARACTER. 7--s As Is the caee with some men, the real character of the peanut Is good, but its reputation is triae of. It is not recog- nizsd in Society, although 1t is said that there are members of Society, even of New Haven Society, who associate with the peanut when they think there Is no danger that anybody will see them. It does not figure in church copgre sses or meetings for the further advancement of Woman. It is in Its glory at the circus, and has come to be considered as natural and nsc- essary there as the appeal of the clown in behalf of the orphan who has song-books for sale. It frequents low variety shows It hangs around street corners and 1t warmly associates with class of Italians who are not supposed to represent that which is best in their sunny land.
 But though the peanut is not in Society, though 1t is disreputably and coarsely festive, and though it is not particular about its company, 1t has merit, and that, too, of @ very solid kind. And it is sp- propriste that 1t has been left for the solid and philosophical Germans to take away the spurious shell that has been put around the peanut by the minimizing and reveal to the world the real meat. It ap- pears that large quantities of peanuts are imported into Germany, where they are ground and pressed for the oil they con- tain, which Is considered equal to the best olive oil for culinary purposes. The oil cake remaining has been fed to horses and cattle, but investigation shows that 1t is rich in nitrogenous matter, and properly prepared makes very d. gestible and palatable food. Ground peanuts are prepared for food in four ways. As grits or coarse meal, which is used in the form of soups; as flour, ground and bolted like ordinary flour, and used in the same way; as biscuits or crack CTS, which are dry, light and very palsta- ble, and as diabetic chocolate biscuits high ly recommended to persons suffering with diabetes. Analysis shows that peanut gfits contain nearly twice Rs much of tffe nutritive clements as peas or beans, of ni- trogenous elements twice as much, and of oily matter about eighteen times as much. American peanuts do not afford so fine a quality of oil as the African product, but when roasted they are superior in sweetness and flavor to all others.
 Thus Is justice done the misunderstood and slsndered peanut. It may get openly into Society yet. It Is certainly as useful az some of the goobers who are there.
