A STROKE
That Came Like Judgment on the
PrOfane Man.


PrOfane Man.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat.
I'm the summer of 1887 saw young
man blinded by a flash of lightning"
said Charles Gerhardt, of Fort Wayne.
Ind, at the Laclede. ut was the most
singular accident 1 ever heard of, and,
while l am no wise sentimental or re-
ligiously inclined, 1 have always felt
that it was a judgment sent upon
him. He was the most profane man
l ever knew, and at times he became
sacrilegious. L am no church member,
but something within me made me
fairly cringe when he uttered some of
his terrible oaths. VIII Magner was
his name. The accident happened one
afternoon on the Tippecanoe river.
A party of us were making a canoe
cruise down the river hunting and
fishing as we went, and, but for Mag
ner's mishap, 1t would always have
stood out in memory as one of the hap
piest periods of my life.
"a fearful thunderstorm came Up
about noon, and we ran in at bend
shaded by heavy timber a few miles
above Buffalo, village of no more
than twenty houses. We drew the
awnings tight over our boats, donned
our mackintoShes and started out to
spend the time fishing at the rapids
below, as we could no make much
Roadway in the rain. Magner was
standing on the bank, and the steady
downpour made fishing poor sport.
1t was the widest place l was ever in.

even through the naked woods in front
of us.
every now and then great balls of
fire would strike the ground and roll
along for some distance. The storm
seemed to get worse and L became
frightened. Magner stood on the bank
cursing and swearing because he could
not get a bite. Finally L said to him:
Billy, don't swear that way; it doesn't
do you any good AT this he laughed
heartily and launched a terrible oath
at me- Just then the lightning struck
a tall tree not 100 yards away with q
terrible crash. We all felt the shock
and commented on how close the tree
was and how the lightning burned
and blackened it.
"But a moment later we were all
frightened half out of our senses when
Magner cried in tone of anguish,
Come here, quick, Dan; l can't see
We all ran to him, and Dan Meier
caught him as he reeled and fell. He
was unconscious over an hour. The
doctor at Buffalo said he was only
temporarily blinded. We drove over
to the station and Dan took him home
on the first train. He never experienced
the slightest pain, and external appear

Dun mad DENLY.
WASHINGTON March II The
brief cable announcement from ia
pan that China has accepted the
terms on which Japan is willing to
conclude peace has renewed keen
interest in the situation in the far
east. Neither the Japanese nor Chi
nese legations have as yet any in
formation that the negotiations have
reached this advanced stage. 1t is
stated by the officials at both lega-
lions that Prince Ii Hung Chang,
the Chinese peace envoy, has not
left T1en Tsin. His trip to Japan is
to be accompanied with great pomp
and ceremony, and until he puts his
signature to the treaty there will be
no actual conclusion Of peace, and
no cessation of hostilities. 1t is be-
Heved, however, that the general un-
Outstanding on the terms of peace
is for the purpose of paving the way
to Prince Lis trip, in order that it
may not result in the humiliating
failure which met the efforts of the
last Chinese peace ENJOYS. This is
the view expressed here by the Off
Gals and diplomats most conversant
with the situation. United States
Minister Dun, at Toxic, and Min
lster DENLY, at Pegin, have been
In constant communication with a
view to bringing the two beIligerents
together, and it is not doubted that
the general understanding on terms
is through their mediation.

Victim.
Chicago Tribune.
A good story on Luther Latin
Mills has just been turned up. 1t
is one of those stories that the person
most concerned would endeavor to
keep buried as long as possible, but,
like many another, this one is far
too good to stay buried. The Incl
dent occurred long years before Mr..
Mills had won the reputation as a
lawyer and orator he now enjoys.
But he was even then rising in his
profession, and had already several
legal victories to his credit He was
called on one day by some people
who offered him rather peculiar
case. There was nothing extraordi-
nary in the case itself, but it pre-
scented difficulties in the working up
that might have deferred a less am
bilious man. The obstacles, how
ever, were but an added incentive
to the lawyer, and he went to work
with will. The client was a man
Who had been arrested for uttering
bogus money. The evidence was
very strong against him, and in
view of the difficulties the price
agreed upon ii Mr.. Mills won the
case was $500. The trial came on.
and Mr.. Mills was fully prepared for
it. He had rebutting testimony for
all the evidence the prosecution
brought out. He made great speech
that completely captured the jury.
and he won the case. Very promptly,
indeed, the client and his friends
came up and settled They counted
out before him on his desk thirty
piles of silver dollars with $40 in
each pile. Then they hurried away.
This was the first fee of any size
the young lawyer had received. and
his eyes glistened as brightly as
the coins themselves.
Mr.. Mills pleasure was not, how
ever, very long-lived. He had a. bill
TO pay, and then, as he placed some
OF the money down on the counter.
he discovered that in a sense he had
been paid back in his own coin.

No KnfckerbOcke There.


It is a remarkable fact that the libro
d'oro of the Dutch nobility, or what
may be described as the peerage Of
Holland, among it's 800 or 800 names,
does not recount a single one borne by
a Knickerbocker family in New York.
This is not so surprising when it is
borne in mind that the early Dutch
cnlonists # Manhattan Island were not
mobiles, but modest burghers and far

humble extraction. The Dutch aristoc-
