A Good Chance to Try Canned Lobster

Good Chance to Try Canned Lobster
From the Buffalo Express.
A woman whose face was wan and pinch
ed went into a big Main street grocery store
the other day and looked around curiously.
She was poorly dressed, and had a tattered
shawl thrown over her head.
After walking all through the store, she
approached a counter and asked: Where
are the canned goods?"
The clerk directed her to the counter and
she walked over. What can do for you,
madam asked the man who has cha -ge of
that department.
"Have you any canned lobster?" she ask
ed.
Yes"
How much is it,"
She was told the price.
She looked at a slip of paper she had in
her hand and paused for a moment. Then
she said: Il will take four cans"
The clerk got down four cans Of the best
Holsters and wrapped them up TO- her. The
and gave the clerk in payment an order
from one of the charitable societies for a
dollars worth of groceries. The clerk was
dumfounded. He looked at the order and
then at the woman. What's the matter ?''
she asked. Isn't the order good?"
Yes; it's perfectly good, but-but-"
But what?' asked the woman, sharply.
Don't you think that a sack of flour or
something Oh the kind would be more suit
able for you to buy?'
Maybe it would" she answered. I'VE
haven't had anything to eat at my house
for two days, but never tasted any canned
lobster. and / don't know as l ever will get
another chance to taste 1t. either"
And she walked out of the store tightly
claspins the canned lobster to he- emaciat-
ed bosom.

the country are not such as TO warrant free
permission being given to a considerable
body of men to march through II for any

comes. will have to traverse the states Of
Pennsylvania and Maryland, and in the

not given his final decision. nor had he ,s-
sued his proclamation. which he had also
promised.
The Fort Logan troops spent a rather
dreary night at the union depot They
spread their blankets on the hard plat

Dispute Over the Atchlson.

NEW YORK, Oct. lS.-Regarding
the statement made by the Boston
News bureau that the Atchison
Protective committee had secured
proxies enough to insure the sue
cess of their ticket at the approach-
ing election, Henry Clews said to-
day: off the Atchison board has
100 shares in proxies, as they claim,
it evidently means that there has
been an over issue of 100000 shares.
1t is not true that the other side
has the Amsterdam proxy"
NEW YORK, October Is. - The
board of directors Of the Atch-
ison railroad accepted the res
ignation, as director, Of AL

take his place on the directors
ticket at the approaching election.
The board counted proxies for their
ticket and report having a MAORI

PERPETUAL LIFE.
A CONVICT CLAIMS A DISCOVERY
Whereby Man Can Be Made to Live
Always.

NEW YORK, Oct, lS.-Romer
Best, a convict in the prison at
Dannemora, Clinton county, New
York, claims to have the secret OF
perpetual life, and wants to have
his formula tested on the condition
that If it is successful he shall be
given his freedom. His case has
been taken up by Charles Brady,
who was released from the prison
on Thursday. Best, he says, is an
intelligent colored man, of 53 years
who was sentenced in Brooklyn
court to serve twenty years for
burgiarizipg. His term will expire
in 1902 and for liberty now, Brady
says he is willing to offer mankind
his greatest boon. His proposition
is that he be taken from the prison
on habeas corpus proceedings and
that he meet a committee of doc
lords and scientists before a judge,
the latter to decide the merits of
his claim. Brady says the princi-
pal ingredients in Best's Elixir of
Life is alcohol. A part of his treat
ment is to give the candidates for
perpetual life an ounce of butter
and follow this with quantity of
alcohol. Best's theory is that al
cohol will sink below the butter
and thus the patients brain will be
protected from the fumes and he
will not get "a jag on" Unfortu-
nately for the locked up Ponce de
Leon, he can't get the alcohol in
prison to make a test of his theory.
Brady says Best has made this
proposition to the warden but he
has always been laughed at. He
also offered an execution by electro
city and to restore the victim to
life, but the state authorities
would not take their chances of
having to inflict capital punish
ment twice on the same subject.
Brady says Best is well educated,
intelligent and popular with con-
victs and keepers. He says he
has been thirteen years perfecting
his formula and asserts that it will
prolong life as long as as it is used.
He will not, however, give up the
secrets until released from prison.
His grand mother lived to be log
and he expects to live always il he
can get the required alcohol.

Cloak Strike Not Ended.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-No termin-

yet probable. While some Of the
smaller manufacturers have sur
rendered, the larger houses stand
out, unitedly and firmly. The presi-
dent of the manufacturers associa-
ton says, of the ten thousand people
who went on the strike less than
one-third have returned to work.
On the other hand the strikers
claim to have scored a substantial
victory and say that already most
of their people have been taken
back at the advanced scale.

BLOOD SPILLED.
Troops Fire Into the Crowd.

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Oct. 1S.-The
Commercial Gazette dispatch from
Washington, Ohio, says: "Blood
has been spilled at Washington,
and it will rest with an investiga-
tion to determine whether or not
the troops were authorized to re-
sort to this last step in the dis
charge OF sworn duty. Whatever
may be the result of this finding,
it is doubtful if the people Of Fa-
yette county will ever remind
the friends of those who died at
the hands of the militia as other
than martyrs in a righteous cause,
although some at least of them
were, when they received their
death wounds, engaged in unlaw-
full acts. In the case Of the negro,
William or Jasper Dolby, the usu-
ally conservative and law abiding
citizens of this county lost all sight
of the legal aspect OF the case, and
could see but the scoundrel and
the grey haired woman who was
his victim. Each had in his mind
death as the punishment of the
gully wretch. And to enforce that
judgment he came here armed to
resist and override, il need be, all
the authorities created and main
tanned by him.

New YORK, October lS.-The
Iron Age will say today: "Com-
mon misery seems to he drawing

mer pig is steadIer in the Pitts

are easier in the east, but as yet
buyers are not taking hold to any
considerable extent. Bars have
been marking price records lately.
A great amount of structural work
is coming up in New York and
quite lot of bridge work is being
placed in different parts OF the
country. Still anxiety for winter
work is growing and the outlook
for the next few months is for
from bright. This is the season
when out door work restricts pro-
duction. Forge pig iron is a little
stronger in the eastern markets
but irons are generally dull
throughout the country. There has
been quite heavy movement in

PLAYED JOKES
On 8 Newly Welded Couple

CLEVELAND, Oct. 1S.-One of the
most exciting weddings that ever
took place in this city was that Of
Attorney H. F. Golf last night.
Golf Is 80 years old, and through a
long bachelorhOod has prepared a
series Of practical jokes upon his
friends who have preceded him in
the matrimonial relation. They
bided their time and at last
"got even" with a vengeance. While
the ceremony was in process the
conspirators found the way to the
groom's rooms, stole his travelling
suit and hid it in the barn. Golf
borrowed an ulster from his newly
acquired brother.in-law and wore it
to the train over his dress suit.
On arriving at the train he found
his sleeping car decorated with
white ribbons and white roses. The
trip to the train was made on the
street car, another conspiratOr
having, with his wife, palmed
themselves off on the carriage dri-
yer as the bride and groom and
were driven to the depot. The
quandam groom possessed himself
Of satehels, hand bags, umbrellas
and the like in the carriage and
has hidden them. A third conspi-
rator followed Goff's luggage from
his home to the depot during the
day on a bicycle, bought ticket to
Olmstead Falls, Ohio, for 40 cents,
and checked the luggage to that viii
lage, where it is safely stored in the
home of friend. Golf and his
bride, who was Miss Francis South
worth, move in the highest society

ALL FISH FOR THEM.
Police Took Toll for Weddings or
Funerals Alike.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S.-Weddings
and funerals, according to evidence
before the Lexow committee, were
made to pay tribute to the police.
Frank H. Johnson, funeral and
wedding director, told the investi-
gators it was the custom to pay
officers who kept the carriages in
line at either wed iings or funerals
So for each affair. The acceptance
OF "tips" for such service is dis
tinctly forbidden by law. Police
clubbing and improper character
saloons being permitted to do
business, were the subjects OF sub
seq uent testimony.
