THE MISHICOTT MYSTERY.

A Family Receives a Large Sum of Money
and a Fine Watch From an Unknown.
Some mysterious person is playing
the role Of Santa Claus for a family at
Mishicott, Wis. The gifts take the form
of large sums of money, as much as
$14, 600 having been received at one
time, and watches, jewelry and other
costly articles. In the early part of
October of last year a stranger appeared
in the village and inquired regarding
the Hallberg family residing there.
claiming to be a Mr.. Harris and to rep
resent a brother of the Hallbergs who
had left his home about 80 years ago to
seek his fortune in California, and Of
whom the family had never since heard.
Before leaving the stranger promised to
write soon and send good news. He was
looked upon with suspicion, and no
faith was placed in his promises.
Several weeks later Jens Hallberg re-
ceived a letter containing matters relat-
ing to the long lost brother and bits of
family history only known to the fam
lily. Enclosed was a check fo1 81, 900.
which was to be equally divided among
the sisters and brothers, giving each
So, 900. The check proved to be good
and was cashed at the Manitowoc Say
ings bank.
The HalIbergs are respectable people
and rank high in the community. They
are as much mystifed as all those who
have looked into the matter and cannot
account for the strange action Of their
brother, in case he is still among the
living. This week the family received
a gold watch studded with diamonds
from Mr.. Harris. Special in Chi

Cardinal Manning's Message.

A London correspondent says: When
Cardinal Manning was dying three
years ago, he spoke a few words for
posterity into a photograph which was
kept carefully preserved till the other
day by Cardinal Vaughan. A small
company Of distinguished persons, in
Guiding ambassador Bayard, met on
the invitation of the cardinal at the
archbishop's residence to listen to this
revival of a voice that is still. The voice
was very distinct and clear. There were
long pauses between the words. The
message was not in itself of great i'm
port beyond showing the predominant
thought in the mind of a man just be-
fore death. 1t follows:
To All Who May Come After Me:
hope that no word of mine written or spo-
ken in my life will be found to have done harm
70 any one after | am dead.

An Clock.

Wynn Wordsworth has invented and
constructed a very ingenious celestial
clock" which was exhibited at the first
winter meeting of the Royal Astronomical
society. The entire face of the clock TO
tates under a wire bar representing the
equatorial horizon and is regulated to per-
form one revolution in % hours Sc min
utes 4 seconds, this being the time in
which the earth turns once upon its axis.
The apparent annual motion of sun, moon
and planets in the opposite direction is
effected by movable pins, while the north
and south polar stars, that do not rise or
set for us, revolve simultaneously with
the rest by a separate movement. Thus
may be seen the entire heavens, with sun,
moon, planets and consultations in their
actual places, ever rising and setting as
they rise and set in the heavens.-London

A New Pacific Port.

The Southern Pacific railroad has made
a great bid for the oriental trade in the
construction of its immense wharf at
Port Los Angeles. The new port is at
Santa Monica, 16 miles from Los Ange-
les, 345 miles south of San Francisco,
and is the western terminus Of the South
ern Pacific railroad. North America has
here narrowed down SO much that the
distance from ocean to ocean is 1855 miles
shorter than it is at San Francisco.
The wharf at Santa Monica, or Port
Los Angeles, is itself a great specimen
Of engineering accomplishment. 1t juts
out from the shore nearly a mile into the
sea, being 1893 feet long. This is to Sc
cure depth of water sufficient for large
ships. Those drawing 2S feet can now
be accommodated at the wharf. Rail-
way trains will run directly out upon
the great wharf, carrying freight to
the ships and receiving their cargoes in
upon the structure. It required 1000
carloads of stone to make the founda-
lions secure Out upon the end of the
wharf, over the blue water, is a vast
freighthouse, besides a thoroughly equip
ped passenger station, with restaurants
and electric lights. Water is supplied
in abundance from an immense well at
the mouth of a canyon a mile away.
The completion of the wharf and the
opening of Port Los Angeles will shorten
the distance from the gulf to the Pacific
almost two days.

He IS TURNING WHITE.
A Negro In the st. Louis D~ispensary Who
Is Undergoing a Remarkable Change

A Negro In the st. Louis Dispensary Who
Is Undergoing a Remarkable Change.
There was a rare case the other day
at the city dispensary in the person of
a middle aged coiored man who drifted
into st. Louis from Newport, Ark. His
name was Isaiah johnson, and he said
he had been employed as a farmland
down in Arkansas ever since he was a
boy. He was possessed of a powerful
frame, and there was nothing in his
physical appearance to denote that he
was a sick man.
What is the matter2' asked DR..
Hough as the man sat down in the pa
TENT chair.
Oats what | want to find out, doc
tor. I'ze come all the way from New
port to see what's comm ODER my hide.
| saw a doctor down thar, and he said
he looked ober and read up 81 books,
and he doan' find any case like NINE"
He then went on to tell DR.. Hough
that he had white patches" all oyer
his body, and he believed he was going
to turn into a leopard. He was taken
into the consultation room and told to
strip. DR.. Priest was called in and
the case pronounced one Of ~leucoderma.
There were about eight spots on the
mans chest and stomach varying in
size from 2 to s inches in diameter.
One-half of the back Of each hand was
white, and the legs from the knee down
were entirely SO. with the exception of
two or three black splotches on each
calf. There were also patches of white
skin on the upper part Of the legs, the
thighs and back. His face had not yet
begun to turn. His original skin was a
dark coffee brown color, and he had
long hair on his head and a full growth
Of whiskers.
johnson said he had noticed white
spots on his hands about a year ago, but
paid no attention to them. Then d large
spot developed on each side of his chest.
which vas followed by two on his legs.
So 1t continued until he became alarmed
and consulted a doctor. The man has
no money, though he is physically able
to do any kind of work. DR.. Holman
says the chances are that if he lives
long enough he will become entirely
white. The cases are very rare, there
being not more than Il in every 10, 900
negroes who become afflicted with it

The Question Of the Century.

In the midst of the terrible pinch of
hard times of 1884 one thing is grad
ually becoming clear-that is, that the
economic organization of today is utterly
inadequate to meet the needs Of society
and must demolished and reconstructed
on new principles. In New York nearly
rocco people are suffering for want Of
food and clothes. In Chicago the num-
Der is still larger. At the wooden and
cotton factories thousands of workmen
go hungry because they cannot work at
their trade of producing clothing.
In the very same cities of New York
and Chicago, where SO many are starry
ing, wheat is at the lowest price it ever
reached. What is it that binders the
clothmakers from producing garments
for the naked? What is it that binders
the starving from getting the wheat that
will give them bread? On his part the
farmer is suffering, and suffering fear
fully, because there is nobody to buy his
wheat and thus enable him to purchase
the clothing which the factory workman
ought to be making, but is not.
That is the situation today. What is
the of it? What is the remedy? 1t
is as if a hypnotic spell had been put
upon the very wheels of industry and
paralyzed them to inaction. The cause
Of it all lies deeper than the majority of
even intelligent people imagine. The
remedy is certainly not in souphouses
and charity wood saving. There is a
radical wrong when such panics as the
present recur at intervals of every Is to
20 years. To say they are a necessary
accompaniment of civilization is foolish
is no remedy for them is still greater
f~oolishness. There never was an evil
that man by his intellect and conscience
could not find a remedy for.
Henry George says the cause of hard
times is to be found in the fact that a
few people have taken possession of most
of the land and run it up to enormous
fictitious value, thus cutting off all the
rest and rendering them hungry and
homeless. The cure he proposes is to
tax only land, and tax it so heavily
that it will be nc object to greedy specu-
lators to grab it all away from the rest.
Others as wise as George dispute this.
Economic writers have shown only one
thing-their inability to deal with the
question. 1t is time for the American
people themselves to take up the ques-
ton, and putting aside al minor mat
tiers to think it out gravely, intelligently
and conscientiously. The existence Of
this republic may depend on it.

None worthy to Succeed Tennyson.

1t is now definitely understood, says
a London journal, that there is no in
tention Of appointing a successor to
Tennyson at present. 1t is frankly ad-
mitted that the reason is because there
is no poet worthy to yea the laurel
last worn by Wordsworth and Tenny-
son. 1t is rel asserted that the present
government have an understanding with
the Conservative leaders to leave the va
cancy untitled until a more worthy bard
arises.
