"Cases pending, " said gentleman

Not one knew, and he continued:
Centuries ago in Germany, when
people were just beginning to seek re-
dress at law, the courts had not the in
tricate machinery and manner Of keep
ing records theyaow have. Still the
cases multiplied, and they used to write
them down on sheet Of paper. These
in time accumulated, SO they stuck them
CD a long wire which hung over the
Judges table. They used to take them
off at the bottom of the pile, while the
clerk always put the fresh ones On the

The World Is washing Away.

An interesting calculation has recent
" been made public through one of the
many publications of the French Acade-
my of Sciences. 1t is to the effect that,
taking into consideration the wear and
tear on the solid land by ocean flashing,
river erosion and wind and weather, to
say nothing of probable volcanic action,
the world will by the end of the year
4, 500, 900 be completely washed away,
and the ocean will roll over the present
foundations of o.r great continents

Adn1teration of Rubber.

The adulteration Of rubber is some
thing remarkable, and in order to make
it weigh more barytes, white lead or
most anythingis used. The consumer is
attracted to the product because it is
cheap, but he pays just so much more
per pound for the heavy minerals com
pounded. Insulating men use a very
cheap rubber coming from the eastern
coast Of Mexico and Nicaragua. 1t sells
for about Is cents per pound and can
hardly be called rubber. Chicle is very
cheap and used in the manufacture OF
chewing gum. The whole subject is
one of price, and as you cannot get some
thing for nothing you cannot get last
ing mechanical goods at quotation
which will not pay weight for weight for
the rubber supposed to be in them

For Years-His Daring Break For Lib
erty.
There lives in Salem, Or, an old white
haired man named Horace Holden, who
claims to be the first white man who ever
lived in the Sandwich Islands. He sailed
from New Bedford on the whaler Mentor
in 1881 bound for the South Pacific. On
May 81, 1882, they were wrecked on a
coral reef, and Holden and another sailor
were the only survivors. They fell into
the hands OF band of savages who de-
bated their fate and finally decided to
make use of them not as food, but as pro-
yiders of food, cannibalism being not
usually resorted to except with prisoners
of war.
According to the story he told the other
day to a San Francisco Examiner CORE
spondent, Holden, with other slaves, the
booty of war with neighboring islands,
was set to work in taro patch belonging
to the chief, who claimed him as his per-
sonal property. He had been deprived of
all clothing and one days labor under
the broiling tropical sun was sufficient to
literally scorch the skin from his back.
His whole body was badly sunburned and
his suNerings therefrom so severe that to-
ward nightfall he became unconscious.
He suffered for weeks and months from
sunburn, and his captors delighted in add
ing to his torrents by scratching his ten
der skin with their long finger nails and
subjecting him to various other fortunes
that were almost unbearable. But after
awhile the joke became stale, the wounds
inflicted by his tornentors' fingers healed
over, and new skin gradually grew over
his body which, instead of being white as
formerly, was reddish brown, q color
which it yet retains. The metamorphosis
was complete He was now Kanaka to
all purposes, enabled to withstand the
heat of the sun with impunity, but when

The former arrived at the foot of Beck

they would remain so until sold. They

HACKMANS NARROW ESCAPE
Connors Was Tangled In the Reins
of His Runaway Team.

John Connors. hackman, should at

haitian Elevated Railway Company's
demolished his hack early this morning
and badly injured one of his weary
gray steeds, but 1t probably saved the
hackman's life.
.Connors's hack was standing just out
side the Kingston House at the lower
end of he Bowery at 10 o'clock this
morning. The driver was standing on
the curb entering an address in his note
book. The animals took fright at some
thing. and as the reins were dangling
loose over the near horses back. away
they went on the run down the hill
towards the city Hall.
Connors started at a ..stop-thiefj'' gait
and managed to catch hold of the reins.
Before he could gain any advantage
over his team he slipped and fell. The
lines twined around his arm, and for a
few yards Connors went humping over
the ground, while a crowd of shouting
loungers from the saloons made "a rush
to ave hin, from being dragged under
the wheels and crushed to death.
Just at that m the horses went
at full tilt into the steel railroad sup
port. The crash was terrific. Connors
was thrown into the air. and one of the
horses fell stunned and bleeding. The
hack was a wreck. The other horse
pursued his course down Park Row,
finally coming to a halt when entangled
with the team of a Third avenue street
car.
Connors was picked up. He was badly
scared. but no bones were broken. The

two men went at 1t. In the third round
Wendt was knocked out by a blow In

The news OF the fight spread rapidly
