Interesting Statistics Which Have just
Been Given Out by the Government.
The first data on conjugal life in the
United States ever gathered by the gov
ernment are given in census bulletin.
1t shows that of total population OF
62, 652, $50 in 1890 almost three-fifths
were single, little more than one
third married, and not quite one-twen-
tieth We're widowed The divorces con-
stituted a small fraction of l per cent.

er portion Of widowers remarry than
widows, while figures show that dl-

The Worlds Fair City Still Has Its Excit-
ing Adventures.
A huge monkey belonging to Ernst
Bros, the brewers, at 67 Larabee street,
escaped yesterday afternoon and gave
active employment to several policemen
and crowd of boys before it was cap
tured. AS soon as it was discovered that
the monkey had escaped number Of
the employees of the brewers attempted
to capture it. A number of school chill
dren joined in the chase. When the
monkey was hard pressed, it climbed O
tree and reached the roof of a house.
A ladder was procured, and one of the
men followed it, but the monkey swung
off into tree and into the window OF
another house, frightening the occu-
pants, who Immediately gave the animal
full possession of the premises. The
crowd soon increased to several hundred
people, and several policemen took O
hand. They found themselves less use
full than the schoolboys and finally gave
it up in disgust. The chase was kept uI
through alleys and streets and from yard
to yard for nearly mile, when son Of
Italy, with the aid Of his banana stand,
succeeded in coaxing the monkey into
captivity. Tribune.

ARE BLUE GUNS vgNoMoUsi
A Texas Doctor Experimenting With the
Virus From Negro,s Mouth.

i
Virus From Negroes Mouth.
1t has long been belief among the
negroes that the bite of one of their
race who has blue gums is about as
deadly as the bite Of mad dog or rat
tlesnake. Few white people think this
is anything more than mere supersti-
tion, and while instances are recorded
in the newspapers every once In awhile
of deaths resulting from bites inflicted
by blue gum negroes the general opin-
ION is that the death was not caused by
the bite, or else that the blood of the
person bitten was in such condition that
wound cf almost any character equal
ly severe would have produced death.
1t is not questioned, however, that the
bite of a human being-whether the
blue gum variety or not-may in some
instances prove a severe injury.
A case is reported from the Lott Store
neighborhood. A negro woman-Ellen
Toney-about 80 years of age, was bit
ten about week ago by her daughter
in-law. The wound was on the little
finger and was not at all dangerous in
appearance, but in a day or two the
hand began to swell, and the swelling
was accompanied by great pain. 1t soon
spread to the entire arm, which puffed
up to twice it's normal size. A physi-
clan was called in, and he prescribed
such remedies as the case seemed to de
mand, but lockjaw set i'll and lasted
about 20 hours. Finally the swelling
began to abate, and the old woman is
now considered on fair road to recov-
cry.
The doctor learned that the daughter
in-law was of the blue gum variety and
examined her. mouth to see if it differed
from that of anybody else. He says
the gums are of purplish blue mottled
appearance unlike those of the ordina-
ry negro He is skeptical ON the subject
of the bite of such a person being more
poisonous than that Of any one else, but
says he is experimenting with the virus
or saliva from this woman's mouth to
see if there is any truth in the belief OF
the negroes. The subject of his expert
ment is a small dog, which he innocu-
lated with the virus, and he says he is
waiting for developments with some de-
gree of interest. .-Benham Cor Calves

Married In a Baby Carriage.

A remarkable wedding took place at
the Bristol registry Office yesterday. The
bride, prim woman of 43, wheeled
into the Office in an old fashioned per-
ambulator, the bridegroom, a crippled
man of As, who from his birth had not
been able to walk. He followed no oc-
cupatiun. When supported ON his feet,
so contorted were his legs that he was
only SO inches high. He asked that he
should be married in the perambulatOr.
Besides the usual questions the astonish-
ed officials asked the bride if she really
knew what she was about. She replied
that she was fully aware Of what she
was doing, and she wondered what the
crowd of people outside were laughing
at, as it was only wedding. The par
ties made the usual declaration as to no
lawful impcdiment to their union, and
they were duly married, and az the
bride wheeled away her newly won hus-
band the happy couple were followed By
large crowd, who pelted them with
rice.-London Telegraph q

An Alabama Doctors Narrow Escape From
Being Buried Alive.


From Townsville, thriving little
town on the Mobile and Birmingham
road, 102 miles north of this place,
comes story that is heard but seldom,
and then too much credence cannot be
placed therein, for nine times out of ten
there is a certain prevarication or q
knack Of distorting and stretching the
facts that knocks the truth out of the
tale. But here is a true story: Sunday
morning there died, to all appearances
at Thomasville, well known physl-
elan of that place-Dr John w. Brand.
lie lad lately removed from Randolph
county and was about 60 years of age.
He suffered several weeks from various
complications, and finally the watchers
at his bedside, one of whom was his
son. saw him draw, apparently, his last
breath and sink into the unconscious.
ness of death. The body was taken
charge Of by his friends, washed and
dressed in the customary shroud and
laid out in the parlor. An hour or two
later the few friends seated in the room
with the corpse noticed slight twitch-
ing of the fingers of the deceased. They
were somewhat startled, but did not
lose their self possession and flee from
the room, as is ordinary under such cir
cumstances. Instead they repaired to
the side of the doctor and watched him
closely. Then movement Of almost the
entire body was noticed-a slight con-
vulsion, in fact. Then two pieces Of
money that had been placed over the
eyes OF the dead man fell off, and he
made an effort to open his eyes. This
satisfied those gathered around him that
life was still within the remains and
the body was tenderly carried back to
the bed from which he had been re-
moved short while before a supposed
corpse. DR.. Brand received every care,
and he slowly revived. His first words
when apprised of his condition were:
"How long was dead?"
All preparations for the removal of
the body to his home in Randolph coun-
ty had been made by the son of DR..
Brand, and it was arranged to ship the
remains by the Mobile and Birmingham
train that passed Thomasville Sunday
night. DIR. Brands daughter was at the
Selma depot to receive the body of her
father, but instead was rejoiced to re-
ceive the welcome news that her parent
was still alive-Mobile Register.

PETROLEUM FOR MOSQUITOES.
A Timely Suggestion to How to Destroy
the Unmatched Plague.

A Timely Suggestion as to How to Destroy
the Unmatched Plague.
A Mr.. L. o. Howard, who lives near
the city of Washington, last year and
the year before made experiments with
a view to Kidding his premises Of the
mosquito pest that proved highly salts
factory. The details of his experiments
have impressed the people of New Or
leans so favorably that there is talk
among the city fathers there of apply
ing the Howard system Of insect killing
on a grand scale in and about that city.
Mr. Howard located his mosquito breed
ing ground in millpond and the ad-
joining marshy land near his residence.
He had previously established the fact
by tests in a rainwater barrel that
kerosene oil is certain death to the mos
quito larvae.
When he had located the wholesale
hatchery of mosquitoes, he proceeded to
spray the whole area with crude petro-
leum The area was about A, 600 square
feet, and 15 gallons of oil at cost OF
81. 70 sufficed for the work. This he did
in March, when the innocent mosquito
papooses were still slumbering unhatch-
ed in the mud and ooze. Three weeks
after the sprinkling there remained q
scum of oil over the area, and most Of
the larvae had been killed. During the
summer following Mr.. Howard's first
experiment very few mosquitoes surviv-
ed to annoy him. The next spring he
repeated the sprinkling and during the
summer of that year he had no use for
mosquito nets. Savannah News.

MONEY KINGS FEAST.
The Banquet to MilliOnaires Recently Given
In London by Baron Hirsch.


In London by Baron Hirsch.
Baron Hirsch is highly susceptible
millionaire who believes i'll royalty, who
has followed the fortunes of the Prince
of Wales assiduously, and who is sup
posed to have "staked" that parsonage
on many occasions. For awhile he
dropped out Of the papers, but he is
back again now, and his genius for do
ing things that cause people to talk
seems again to be il good working or
der. The dinners of rich men have been
frequent, but Baron Hirsch conceived
the idea Of getting the 12 richest men
in London together and giving them a
dinner which would rank as the most
expensive one i'll the long history Of that
great dinner giving metropolis.
According to correspondent, it was
feast of money from beginning to end.
Not single guest was admitted whose
fortune was not estimated in millions
of pounds, and the English papers have
become delirious in trying to figure out
the exact wealth represented by the bar
on's IL guests.
The baron himself made no pretense
of giving the dinner for special OBJ
ject, except to see how good dinner he
could buy. The chef of the Hotel Savoy
and the proprietors of that establish
ment entered cheerfully into the baron's
scheme, and the result was dinner
which it took four hours to eat was
paid for in about four minutes and cost
upward of So, 500. 1t cannot be wonder
ed at that the Prince of Wales is fond
of Baron Hirsch.

PETER THE GREAT.
A Horse e2 Hands High, Weighing 400
Pounds, Is still Growing.


A freak of nature and world wonder
in the shape of horse is drawing many
of the curious to the livery stable on
South Third street just now. This spec
linen of the equine kind is unquestion-
ably the tallest in the world 1t is, in
facs, colt, not yet years old, measur-
ing the enormous height Of % hands,
feet and inches. In weight this horse
wonder tips the scales at 1, 700 pounds.
Peter-that is his name-is gelding
and was foaled in Minnesota in June,
1891. He is of Norman stock and Il
beautiful dapple gray in color. What is
almost as remarkable as his huge pro-
portion is the fact that his dam and sire
were not above the average size of that
breed of horses. Another colt from the
same dam and sire, year younger than
Peter, but proportionably as large, if
not larger, died some months ago.
Peter, as evidenced by his weight, is
well proportioned animal. His limbs
are clean cut, and the head, body and
neck of good form. He is, as is the case
with many colts, little bit swayback
ed, but this imperfection, horsemen say,
will disappear with age. The hips are a
little higher than the highest point Of
the shoulders, from which the height
and measurement are usually taken.
Should the horse grow to maturity,
it is not unreasonable to expect that he
will attain fully inches more i'll height
and develop proportionately otherwise,
carrying a weight possibly of 5000
pounds. A gelding seldom attains its
full height until years old, while mares
generally mature two years younger.
There is nothing of record, several
horsemen say, which equals the height
of the colt in question. Several years
ago, however, there was horse on ex-
hibition in Toronto which weighed 2, 800
pounds.
Peter is physically sound and healthy.
At such an age, growing with the ra-
pidity that he is, he could not retain
much flesh, though he might be said to
be in good trim for work. His carriage
is good and movement far less clumsy
and awkward than might be expected
of an animal of such proportions. Sc
