Looks Like Leprosy.

At the Cleveland Medical society
meeting DR.. W. E. Writ, the president,
exhibited a case of supposed leprosy.
The case was that of a girl 16 years
old, who presented herself a few days
ago at clinic conducted by DR.. Writ.
The case had nearly all the symptoms of
leprosy, and SO marked were they that
the doctor diagnosed it as such.
OF the history of the case DIR. Writ
said that when the child was years old
the mother first noticed crack in the
skin under the little toe. From that time
the toes Of the left foot gradually with
cred and absorbed, so that now they
have disappeared. The deformed foot
was exhibited and carefully examined by
all the doctors. Cleveland Plain Deal

OVER A MIsFIT COFFIN.
Extraordinary Lawsuit Between an Under
taker and Young Woman.

Extraordinary Lawsuit Between an Under
taker and Young Woman.
The jury which has been listening to
the very unique and extraordinary tes-
timony in the case of Miss Minnie
Heincke against Undertaken Kohler'
mann of Lawrenceburg, Ind, returned
a verdict in favor of the defendant The
plaintiff, who is an INDECENT young wo-
man, will have to pay the expenses OF
the court trial, together with attorneys
fees, and the amount will run up to
more than she has earned as seam
stress within the past year. 1t was a
very singular case, the like of which
was never docketed before in the civil
courts of this country.
On the 23d day of last January there
died in Lawrenceburg John Heincke,
a German, aged 60 years. The day after
Heinckes death Undertaken Louis Koh-
| hermann was called in to take charge of
the remains. The family was poor, but
they wanted their dead father laid away
as respectfully as their limited purses
would allow. The undertaken promised
them very neat job for SIS.
Sunday afternoon, with all the pomp
and ceremony the family could afford
to indulge in, the body of the dead was
removed to a vault in Greendale ceme-
terry, and there deposited until the
spring, when they should bury it.
The Sunday following the incasement
of Heincke's body in the vault Miss
Minnie, the only living daughter, visit
ed the cemetery, together with several
female friends She expressed a desire
to see her fathers face, and the sexton,
being of an accommodating disposition,
opened the vault. A female companion
of Miss Heincke's saw the face before
the daughter did and pulled her away
before her eyes had the chance to rest
upon the corpse The rumor soon became
noised about that the body had been de-
posted in a coffin far too small for the
man. The undertaken was consulted,
and he went out to see for himself.
Sure enough, the nose touched the glass
covering. He told the children Of
Heincke that he would change the cot
fin, and he kept his word.
Subsequently the body was inferred
A few days afterward the undertaken
was startled upon being served with
notice that suit had been filed by the
daughter in the sum of $1,000 for
damages alleged to have been done her
heart and feelings because her father s
face had been put out of shape by the
glass covering of the cruel coffin.
Miss Heincke was in the courtroom
during the trial. She often wept during
the delivery of the testimony. Over 40
witnesses were examined The judges
charge was in favor of the defendant,
and the jury, after celebrating ten
minutes, agreed that the original coffin,
which meantime had been exhibited in
court, was amply large and that the de-
PENDANT as an undertaken had performed
his duty.-Chicago Tribune

SOMETHING NEW AFLOAT.
Queer Animals Which Have Long Legs at
One End and Can Jump Very Far.

Queer Animals Which Have Long Legs at
One End and Can Jump Very Far.
The naval photographic Office has
been notified of the discovery of a new
form of animal life in the open ocean
which has hitherto not been classified
by naturalists, who are unable from the
description received to say just what is
the new bug or fish or whatever it is.
The report comes from Captain H. A.
Nieiahr of the German steamer Helios.
He was cruising in the south Atlantic
between Cape Horn and the Cape OF
Good Hope, a little to the west of the
inaccessible and Tristan d'Acunha is
lands, when the phenomenon appeared.
The entry ON his log is as follows:
"This afternoon my mate called my
attention to the looks Of the water. /
went on deck and saw several spots OF
yellow and muddy looking water. We
steered for one of these spots, and pass
ing through it observed that the water
had reddish color, called forth by mil
lions and millions of red ephemenon
worms. I caught some in a bucket and
found that their bodies were bladdery,
with long legs on one end. On the other
end seemed to be the head. Set on dry
spot they jumped very far. !"
Biologists in Washington presume the
German captain refers to the order OF
"Ephemerina" in speaking Of epheme-
non worms, but this order, which in
cludes the common day fly, does not fit
the captains description of his discov-
ery.-St. louis Globe Democrat.

WHERE is RlCHARD7
IL Alive BE Is Heir to Large Fortune
Through His Uncle


A Lad named Richard Hanson shipped
as common seaman on board the sail
ing vessel County of Carnarvon, which
left New South Wales on June /, 1889.
The ship was bound for the west coast
OF South America. A few weeks later
she was sunk, and the report of the COM
pany which owned her was that all on
! board were lost.
| The lad was native of Pernau, La
vonla, and was an orphan. Early in his
life he had become fascinated with sea
life, and when but Is ran away from his
comfortable home to become a sailor.
he suffered many hardships in drifting
about the world before he took the ill
fated voyage ON the County of Carnar-
Won. AS he had escaped from several ac-
cldents almost miraculously, his rela-
tives refused to believe that he had per-
ished in the sinking of this ship.
Among the relatives is IN uncle, Hans
Ochibaum, who still lives in Pernau.
The lad Richard had been his favorite,
and the uncle now wishes to make him
heir to property worth from $15, 900 to
$40, 900. He declines to leave this mon
ey to any one else until it is proved in
disputably that his nephew is dead, AS
a means of ascertaining whether or not
his nephew is still alive he has had sent
to all parts Of the world an advertise
ment requesting Hanson himself, or any
person who may have knowledge Of his
fate, to communicate with Ivanovitch
BoStroem of 1923 East Sixty-ninth street,
New York.
BOstrOem, who is friend of the I'M
Gle, has made diligent search, but thus
far without result. A man called upon
him soon after the advertisement was
sent out, and told him that he had
known a young man by the name Of
Richard Hanson i'll Astoria, Or, two
years before. Bostroem sent a letter of
inquiry to the Sailors union of Astoria,
but received reply to the effect that
there was no Sailors union there, and
that no man named Hanson lived in the
city. If alive, Hanson is now % years
of age.-New York Sun.

The pencil manufacturers are somewhat
perturbed over the matter, for the ma

Outside of the imported graphite the
mines at Ticonderoga have supplied a

SHEER NERVE DID 1T.
o,-p LONE HIGHWAYMAN HOLDS
TIP A STAGE IN OREGON.

r,,deutly Did Not Wish to Be seen-Tne
passengers Obeyed His Commands With
A,acrity-very Near the Scene of a SINH
lar BOldup.
lone highwayman held up the stage
A.or Aver to klamath Falls, Or, few
r;ohts since, and two passengers, the
driver. the mail pouch and Wells, Fargo
90 s box were robbed under circum-
stances that are almost without parallel
for sheer nerve and bravaSp.
The highwayman stood 1n ambush at
+be side of the road and did not once dis
close his person, much less his identity,
10 his victims. But they literally obeyed
his every command, which was deliver
Cd in q firm voice.
The driver and passengers seem to
have been imbued with the assurance
that instant death would follow disobe-
dience in any particular.
The stage left the railroad at Ager at
9 o'clock in the afternoon, with Ed Wal
ters as driver. About 10 o'clock, as the
team slowed down to pull up the narrow
Topsv grade, six miles long, a sudden
command came from ambush beside the
road for the driver to hold up and throw
ont the express box and letter pouches.
The command was delivered in an i'm
nervous voice, and the driver did not
stop to ask questions Or wait for the rob-
her to come from cOncealment. The ex-
press box and letter pouches were
promptly thrown out.
The hidden highwayman then directed
his attention to Wells, stockman, and
he was told to cut open the letter
pouches. Wells demurred, but obeyed.
He secured a pocketknife and began
slashing away at Uncle Sans letter
bags. When the robber was satisfied that
satisfactory progress was being made by
the stockman, he directed Cora, the
other passenger, to break open the box
supposed to contain Wells, Fargo & Co. s
treasures. The merchant reluctantly
went to work, but he seems not to have
taken the proper implements of destruc
ton and made 80 much noise and con-
fusion that the robber directed him to de-
sist. Then he babe the driver to take an
ak from the stage and make more sue
cessful job and less noise. Walters did
as required
When these things were done, the
highwayman preferred a firm request
from his place of concealment in the
brush for the driver and passengers to
take off their coats, and, besides, leave
the contents of their pockets with the
other booty. Again the trio complied,
but it is believed that they lost little in
that manner. The plucled passengers
and driver were then allowed to get
aboard the stage and drive on. 1t is not
known whether any valuables were Sc
cured from the express box or letters.
The robbery took place within few
hundred feet of similar robbery hardly
month ago, and there is little doubt
that it was executed by the same lone
highwayman. It was carried out in al
most the same manner, the robber Civ
ing his orders from the darkness and
not being seen by the driver and passen-
gers, though his presence close at hand
was as firmly impressed upon them as ii
he had stood at the horses heads and
covered them with his gun. Fran

Mr.. LINCOLN's SUBSTITUTE.

Writing to the Philadelphia Record
from Suoudsburg, Pa, a correspond
ent says: 1t is not generally known
that Abraham Lincoln sent a substi-
tute to the war against the South, but
such is a fact. During the earlier days
of the war it seems to have been the de-
sire Of all prominent men in Washing
ton to have a representative in the
ranks. and Lincoln was no exception to
the rule. At that time there was a
minister named Staples in Washing
ton. one of whose sons, then aged nine
teen. had a desire to go to the front,
Lincoln heard of him, and after con-
ferenc selected him as his representa-
tive. and he proved worthy, for he won
honor on the field. He survived the
war and finally died in Stroudsburg.
The inscription on the stone over his
grave reads as follows: y. Summer

17eth Regiment, P. V. Also member
of the Second Regiment, D. c. Vols, as
