answered ayes, he told those

"He did, did hep" said Dempsey,
grimly, and when the men came
together Costigan recoiled at the
first blow from Dempsey.
"Go easy, go easy" counselled
Costigan. "This amt a fight"

he banged Costigan rio rooster.
"This amt a fight" murmured
Costigan, and Dempsey's fist col
lided with Costigan's nose.
"Work it up" said Dempsey, and
he rushed Costigan all over the
stage, punching right and left.
Costigan was driven near the box.
The eyes of his lady friends were
upon him and he responded, but
Dempsey grinned and hit out more
savagely than ever and wound up
the bout by back heeling Costigan
and sending him to the ground
with a thud.
"Say, Costigan," said Dempsey
afterward, "always consult me

The Repairs Were Made.

The Rev. Mr.. Adams of Leominster
was an eccentric character and hi
no hesitation in speaking MS mind, Ell

He was about to exchange with neigh
boring minister, a mild and inoffensive
man, who knew the bluntness of his
disposition and said to him in advance:
You will find some panes of glass
broken in tie pulpit window, and pos
sibly You may suffer from the cold.
The cushion. too, is in bad condition,
but beg Of you not to say anything to
my people ahout it. They are poor and
disincliucd to think of repairs. "
Before Mr.. Adams left home that
Sunday morning he filled a bag with
rags and took it with him. When hl
had been in the pulpit few minutes
the draft began to make itself felt.
and he deliberately took a handful Of
rags from his bag and stuffed them into
the window. The sermon dwelt upon
the duties of congregations toward their
ministers, and he soon became very an
imated. and brought down both fists
with tremendous force upon the pulpit
cushion. The feathers scattered in ev-
cry direction, but pausing only to ex-
claim. Why, how these feathers fly"

New York Herald:

New York Herald:
Jack Dempsey, the "Nonpareil,"
the winner of the fifty-One prize
fights and who finally succumbed
to Fitzsimmons, is engaged with a
theatrical company to give spar
ring exhibitions. His partner is
Denny Costigan. They are warm
friends.
Costigan recently was introduced
to some ladies and was anxious to
make a good impression. He invit-
ed them to the theatre, purchased
box in which he placed them,
and confidentially told them to
watch him give Dempsey friend
ly touching.
Dempsey was surprised at Costi-
CAMS unusual vigor that night and
was pleased at the prospect Of Civ
ing a lively bout.
"Costigan's very strong tonight"
murmured Dempsey to his bottle
holder after the first round.

A HUMAN DYNAMO.
A Young Girl who Is Charged
With Electricity.
Cincinnati Enquirer.

Clnclnnattl Enquirer.
A case which will excite the medical
world came to light in this city yester-
day, the facts only being obtainable
under promise of secrecy as to the
physicians name under whose treat
ment she has been placed.
The patient is now Is years of age,
and has lived in the village of Flag
Pond, in Union county, Tennessee.
She Is the daughter of Peter Samuel
son, a blacksmith.
From her early childhood sparks Of
fire have been seen to emanate from
her hair whenever she was in the
dark.
AS she grew to young womanhood
the phenomena increased, and in
damp weather her companions were
heavily charged with electricity and
could not let go her hand when she
attempted to shake hands with them.
1t gave her no additional strength
as in the case of Lulu Hurst, the cleo
trical wonder of Georgia. In fact, it
has been a source Of nothing but dis
comfort, causing intense headaches,
especially during rains.
When she seizes any article that is
a conductor OF electricity her entire
body is racked with pains like the
sticking of many pins. AS yet the
physician has not been able to deter
mine the cause of this extra charge of
electricity or any remedy to overcome
the trouble. The young lady is very
sensitive about being a human dyna-
mo, and has positively refused to be
placed on exhibition at any salary.

Twin DEVILS
That Help Make the Presldent's Life
q Burden.

That Help Make the Presidents Life
q Burden.
These are anothing but pleasant
days for the President of the United
States. He is having his troubles and
annoyances, his trials and tribulations.
like the remainder of humanity. Not
the least of these is rheumatism. The
President has had rheumatism in a
chronic form for several years and
this sweet affliction is sometimes
spiced with few tinges of gout. It
was q renewed attack OF these old enc.
mics that kept the President away
from the last cabinet meeting. He
did have sprained or strained ankle.
but that was several days ago, and the
injured member has been made all the
more rebellious and troublesome by
the antics of the rheumatics. Mr..
Cleveland's general health is good, bet.
ter than it has been for two years. and
he is in fine shape for the winters
campaign, excepting only the presence
of the twin devils in his blood and
joints. There are times when the
Presidents temper is none too sweet,
times when he ripes and tears and
calls things by their street names.
Every Democratic Senator who has
seen the President in one of these
moods knows that the chief magis-
trate does, when so inclined, charac-
terize things and persons by adjec-
tives which question not only their
goodness and worth, but the character
of their maternal ancestry. 1t is
generally understood that on these
occasions it is not Mr.. Cleveland who
speaks, but the rheumatism.

Among the reasons for the almost
uninterrupted success OF Japan in
prosecuting the present war with
China is the spirit of sacrifice and
generosity exhibited by her people.
Voluntary contributions amounting to
almost $l5, 600 600 have been received
by the government. The Bank of
the Nobility, which has given $1,000
OOO outright, has also placed $4,000.
OOO, interest free, at the disposal of
the authorities. The noblemen and
wealthy merchants have been most
patriotic, and a number of them have
contributed more than 81 600 900 each.
Public spirit in China with reference
to the unfortunate conflict presents a
melancholy contrast.

Is the Earth HOllOwr

According to queer belief in ex-
istence among the Icelanders, all water
which flows towards the north is drawn
thitherward by suction created by
the oceans tumbling downward
through the hollow which they firmly
believe penetrates our globe from pole
to pole. Their authority for this
curious belief is the Utama Sage" a
semi-sacred work, written early in the
fourteenth century.

The Passing OF the Horse.

A race OF worldwide interest will
take place in France in June next. II
will be open to all builders OF carriages
propelled by mechanical power, and is
calculated to demonstrate the FEAST
bility OF the use of horseless vehicles
on country and city roads. The
route of the race will be from Paris to
Bordeaux and back. Nearly $1,000
francs have already been subscribed
for prize.money.
Since the rapid development of
electricity as motive force the sub
ject of horseless vehicles has been
prominent in the minds of scientists.
The electric motor has released the
horse from the drudgery OF street rail
way service, and the French promot-
ers of the race under comment evil
IDENTIFY hope that either steam or
electricity will remove the horse from
the traces altogether, except for racing
purposes. A light built carriage on
pneumatic wheels gliding along as
noiselessly as the electric launches
traversed the lagoons of the Worlds
Fair would be an ideal vehicle.
The introduction OF motor wagons
and carriages would still further re.
duce the value of the horse, and the
price of horses might drop to such an
extent that it would not pay to raise
them except for racing purposes. The
introduction of electricity in the
operation of street railways was proba-
bly, the leading cause of the present
depressed condition OF the horse mar
ket. Horses were never cheaper than
they are at present, as owners who
have no use for them sell them for
what they will bring at immediate sale
rather than continue the expense of
their keeping.

There are only six tons of platinum
commercially in existence; it is indis.
pensable for glow electric lamps. for
no other metal as good an electrical
conductor can be fused into glass.
Therefore, its price has increased with
in recent years many hundred times
and threatens to go yet higher.
Ether q substitute conductor will
have to be discovered or a new variety
of glass made with a coefficient of ex-
pansion nearer that of ordinary metal.
There is a big bonanza here for some
inventor.

OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON: FRIDAY EVENING" DEC. Z 1884,

the result Of the arrangement and he
is quite content in his secondary
position. The product OF his labor
goes into the family stock and in
creases the family substance.
But our most startling discovery
was that when man marries, instead
of giving his name to his wife as with
us, he takes her name and drops his
own entirely. Thus il Benjamin
Smith marries Angelina Brown he be-
comes Benjamin Brown, or, if we may
unsex him for a moment for illustra-
ton, Mrs. Angelina Brown, and all
his property passes into the Brown
family. So that family's hopes for
the perpetuation of their name and
fortunes are centered in the daughters,
not the sons, and the dowry business
is also quite reversed. Here is a hint
for women's Fighters which, if they
can carry out, will emancipate them
at single blow.
The great marrying month OF the
Minicovites is May, shortly after the
return of the fleet with their candies
of rice, their silks and their silver
ornaments, which they bring from
Bengal and other trading ports as
presents for wives already made or
wedding gifts for brides to be. In
1892 there were tfty-three marriages
on the island, thirty-seven OF which
took place in the golden month of
May. No marriage is performed with
out the girls consent. To make sure
that it is voluntarily given the kazi
(priest) sends two mukris (sextons) to
obtain the true sentiments OF the girl,
so that she shall not be forced into a
hateful alliance.
The Minicovite women, having q
firm hand on the domestic strings,
use every efforfto keep the family to-
gether. This they believe to be the
foundation stone of true economy.
You may see grandmothers, mothers
and daughters with their three genera.
tions of male counterparts all living
peacefully together under the same
roof and eating from the common
dish.
Should the members of the Brown
household grow rather too numerous
for their quarters the males of the
Brown family are set to work to put
up new house near by, in which the
eldest daughter, save the married
Angelina, is duly installed and the
new branch becomes distinguished
from the old by being called the
RrOWn-Smiths

erages $4,000, and there are now in
use on the railroads of the United
States about $4,000 locomotives, rep
resenting total investment of $780,
100000. The Pennsylvania railroad
stands at the head of the list with l.
625 locomotives. The New York Cen.
trail is not very far behind with 1000
locomotives. The Erie railroad has

the Union Pacific, 1,O66; the Della

The life OF an ordinary locomotive,
shining brass, glittsring steel, iron and
hard wood, is shorter than the life of
an individual, and is in three divisions.
First, when, bright and new from the
machine shop, it is run along the
tracks to the round house, flags flying
from the cab and broom or q horse.
shoe on the cowcatcher for good luck.
The second stage is when, after hav-
ing been in active use, the outer gloss
is dimmed by dripping oil and its
beauty grimed by smoke. However
carefully tended, however often re-
paired, and however thoroughly over.
hauled, locomotive engine after some
period OF service becomes, as it were, a
second-rate article. 1t cannot make
the long runs which were possible for
merly; it cannot make the high stand.
ard rate OF speed; it cannot be used
continually. A fine locomotive, such
IS 1893" on the New York Central,
becomes so shaken at last that the in
tricate machinery seems to get out of
gear. A freight locomotive, construct
ed for heavier burdens but less speed,
is more durable, but ceases finally to
be powerful enough for the trains,
which get longer and heavier as the
equipment of American railroads is
improved with heavier rails, iron
bridges and trestles, and improved
brakes and car couplers. When q To-
comotive, passenger or freight, ceases,
through use, to belong in the first
grade, it comes to be used as an auxil-
iary. The passenger locomotive for.
merly in express trains goes to the
way train service; the freight loco
motive in the freight service ON grades
where two are required.
In some railroads, freight locomo.
tivss come at last to be used for sta.
tion or round-house service-the low
est grade of all. Such locomotives
makeup" trains, shift cars to sidings,
draw away empty cars, and are em-
ployed on repair or construction
trains. When that point is reached
the useful days of railroad lecomo-
tive are nearly over. What follows is
the breaking up of the engine (dis-
mantling it, it is called) for the old
steel and iron it contains. Most rail-
roads, however, have for terminal or
station purposes smaller and cheaper
locomotives, specially constructed for
that use, and these may easily be dis.
tinguished by traveller OH account of
the little care given them by the en-
gineer. They are useful and not Or
