Louis Cyr and Sandow.

Louis Cyr, who is pursuing Sandow so
persistently with challenges, is not an ideal
strong man to look at. He has long and
rather oily hair, which falls on his shout
ders and his fat, thick neck, and he looks
like an overgrown, overfed and rather I'M
wieldy man whose life has been passed sit
ting in the sunny corner of grocery store
He believes in fatas an element of strength
and has sublime contempt for men who
are 1.-the and agile. He went to London
some time ago and attempted to get match
on with Sandow, but failed. Now he is in
New York with liberal backing and is
making every effort to induce the German
to meet him, but a contest seems rather
improbable at the present time. Sandow's
value as a theatrical attraction would be
very much diminished if it should be de-
veloped that there is man stronger than
he is in the world

They Come From the Bad Place and Play
Franks With Palmirie. -
Henry Palmirie Of Chicago deserves the
thanks Of a benighted world. He has been
exploring the mysteries Of the spirit land
by a system peculiarly his own and has ex-
planned his discoveries with nonchalance
and perspicuity that stamp him as no or
binary pioneer of extramundane spheres
Mr.. Palmirie says he is no spiritualist, yet
be talks with spirits. His scheme Of COM
munication is by means of, movable
board Or dial, with the alphabet promiscu-
ously arranged in a circle around it. With
the ends OF his fingers resting lightly on
the board, it is moved by the spirit back
and forth from one letter to another until
the answer to his question is spelled out.
For convenience the words ''yes'' and
no." as they are more frequently used
than any other, have a place outside the
circle.

him to tell me something Of the mode of

evidently were against us then, and I
couldn't get much satisfaction from him.
I asked him to tell me whether there were

THNNERY.
I'm Enterprise that Means
Much for the Future OF
Little Falls.

One of the improvements which
people fail to see on passing through
this city is that being made just
north of the Pike Creek sbridge, by
G. F. Wiggertz, who recently came
here from Chicago. Some . two
weeks ago he purchased twelve acres
of land TN the west bank of Pike
Greek through II. landau, and i'm
mediately began the work OF erect
ing Il rannery. The first thing to
do WAS to construct a bridge across
the brook and then clear his land.
This has been done and he now has
a crew at work grading near the
creek and getting the foundation
for his first building which will he
l00x3O in size. A contractor, and
old friend Of Mr.. Wieggertz from st.
Paul has the contract for building it
and will put II crew to work rnext
Monday morning. 1t will be COM
pleted>by June /. Here the hides go
through the first process and about
fifty men will be employed as soon
as it is completed: 1t. will be some
months before the hides will be ready
to go through the final process and
when they are the other building
will be in readiness. This new build
ing will be built just back of the fiji st
one and be 150x50 in size, and next
year he expects to employ force OF
$50 men.
: 1t takes some time to manufacture
a stock Of leather and as soOn.a it
is prepared Mr.. Weggertz thinks
there will be no trouble in inducing
a shoe factory to locate Hhere. In
fact he says that he has had assur-
ances from a concern of that kind
that factory would he put in next
year.
The location selected is a most
favorable one. A tan yard, it is
said, is very unlike a peach orchard,
hence the reason for putting it so
far from the business centre. Lo-
Gated as it is on running,",water and
near the proposed line OF railroad.
Mr.. Wiggertz is we'll pleased with it
and it is going to be OF great benefit
to the town.
1t is institutions of this kind, Civ
ing employment all the year round,
that bring in men with their families
and build up a. town. We are glad
to see a hustler like Mr.. Wiggertz
locate here and there is no doubt
but that he will make a success of
the business as he is a practical man
and learned his trade Thoroughly.

PALMIRIE'S SPIRIT DIAL

not been sick at all. 1t was that wicked
spirit again. 1t gave the name Of Jules
Jordan and said it's home was in hades, a
place described as being cold and dark. It
also said the only enjoyment the inhabit-
ants there had was in tormenting the liv-
ing and leading them astray. The next
night the spirit of a man who roomed with
me in Paris several years ago came and
| told me that it my sister was sick in the
hospital it could find out and let me know.
I asked how long it would take. The re-
ply was, Ten minutes At the expiration
of 10 minutes went to the board again.
The spirit was there and said, Yes; To-
Gated your sister in the hospital, and she
is sick unto DEATH
"Well, all this, you see, was a lie and
came from that rogue Jordan. If anybody
ever knew such chap, should like to
have that PERSONS address,, because he
must have been a bad egg. Then have
had many interesting as well as pleasant
communications. I talk either mentally
or orally, it makes no difference which.
One satisfactory seance was with my STEP
father, who was nearly 80 years old when
he died. He is in purgatory, a place di-
vided into seven states, one for each Of the
senses; but he hopes soon to get out of
there into heaven. He told me my mother
was in heaven and wanted to come to me,
but only by special permit can the dwell
ers there get chance to visit the earth
AS this purgatory corresponds with that
of the Catholic belief, I asked the old gen.
tleman whether one religion was looked
upon there as being better than another.
He answered NO. Then asked him to
give me description of the various spirit
lands. He replied:
g L CAM answer that question:
"'Why?'
"'There is guard here watching over
me-
"It seems, therefore, that guards or driv-
ers manage all the spirits that correspond
with me. I asked another spirit regarding
the mode of life, the punishments and
general appearance of things over there,
and it replied, If the world should find
out all you want to know, the increase in
suicides would be immense. IT"
1t seems that Mr.. Palmirie enters into
these nightly frolics with much pleasure,
for he says:
II am alone in my room. My family has
| retired Everybody is asleep. The whole
house is quiet. Consequently need fear
no possible fraud or trickery excepting
from such rogues as Jules Jordan. light
my pipe, take out my spirit board and
place my hands on it. In minute or two
the board moves. ask, Who is it?'
''Then the name is given; also the age
and time of death. have obtained the
following results: There gre three spheres
heaven, purgatory, or place for repent
ance, and hades, in which there are nc
fires, but instead cold and darkness. The
spirits in purgatory and hades can com
municate with me, but not so those in
heaven, although by special permit the
latter may make an exception occasionally

The Pickpockets Of Berlin.

The pickpockets Of Berlin (Torfdruck-
ers) are celebrated all over the world.
They find their happy hunting grounds in
great crowds, in theaters or circuses and
railway stations. Their victims are gen
orally strangers or proVincials. To the
apostles Of the craft Is given the task Of
dealing with the pockets Of drunkards, OF
those who fall asleep on benches. Women
make the best shop thieves, and the Ber-
lin female pickpocket has an ingenious Sc
ries Of little hooks fastened under her
gown, on which she IS able to hang the va
fious treasures she collects on her way.
