Private Pancake, of Company e,

case Of indigestion as the result Of a
foolhardy gastronomic feat. Mr.. Pan

in Cullen's grocery and saloon at FIT.

row Of eleven pies, made up of apple,
lemon, peach and custard A ocular

feat and the grocer, anxious to wit

Private Pancake at once began devour-
ing the pies, and his face was wreathed
in smiles until the last one was reached
when an inward convulsion awakened
him to the fact that he was growing
weak. The eleventh pie remained I'M

deathly sick. Ulrich won the bet, and
the gaping crowd soon drank it up,
while poor Pancake was taken to his

slborIa's dignity Advanced.

Siberia has advanced to the dignity
of supporting concert tour. The fact
would have been considered astound-
ing by the last generation, to whom
Siberia was snow-covered waste,
across which prisoners in chains were
driven. In many parts of Siberia,
however, there are now prosperous
settlements, and even towns and cities
anxious to cultivate the arts. The
well-known German ilutist, Adolph
TerschaS, who is just finishing sue
cessful journey, is, we believe, the
leading performer who has everunder-
taken Siberian tour, but he has al
ready visited 0rmsk, IrlStuslI, Tomslk,
Krasnogarsk, Kurgan, Toboisl, and
other towns, with results entirely sat-
isfactory to himself.

Ten-year-old George Alderman, ac-
companied by his father, Park Police

Bayers and John Giese, rolled through
Druid Hill park, Baltimore, Md, a few
days ago after a remarkable ride
through eastern Pennsylvania, The
feature Of the trip was the wonderful
endurance Of little George, who Is a boy
athlete from way back, His father and
their two friends were very proud OF
the boy and the way he had cut the pace
for them during the weeks riding. The
party averaged over rs miles a day, and
In many places over roads that were al
most unreliable, At the end little George
was as fresh as any Of the party, and
a bit fresher But for the fact that he
is a police officer Alderman would chal-
lenge the world for either long or fast
ride for his boy He created quite SEN
sation all along the road, as the people
took a great fancy to him because of his
dimlnutlve size, and encouraged him In
every way, admirlng at the same time
the gait he made his elders get on
them. The total distance was 1907 miles,

Two young ladies from Ashland
Wis, had a very exciting and perilous
experience the other day. While pick
ing berries in Perry Deekers pasture
a vicious bull took after them and they
took refuge in tree, the top of which
hung over the bank of Salt creek. The

making several attempts to reach them,
he laid down at the foot of the tree

GREAT SCORES AT CRICKET.
England's Champion Has Completed His
Hundredth Century


The enormous scores that have been
made at cricket in England this year
have been termed phenomenal" by the
sporting papers, and the epoch was
lately reached when DIR. William Gilbert
Grace, the champion of champions com
pleted his hundredth century in first
class matches. The records Grace has
not made are not worth making. His
first century was made in 1864, when
a lad Of sixteen. He scored 10 and &c
not out for the South Wales Club
against the Gentlemen Of Sussex, at
Brighton. Two years later, against
Surrey, he registered "a not out. In
1876, which was his greatest season, he
made 400 and it Is impossible within
a limited space to make even bare no
tice of his many marvellous achieve
ments. The champions forty-seven

tackled down in the spring of 1871. 1t
cost a great deal of money, and the i'm
port duty on it was very large. No one
but Tweed really knew what it did cost,
except, perhaps, his secretary, Charles
Hail. and probably he will never tell.
The nap still gives beneath ones feet,
and the colors are as fresh and bright as
when Tweed and his satellites made the
room ring with merriment and slipped
champagne beneath the glitter Of the
great chandeliers. At the corners Of the
carpet are tiger heads, and beneath one
can still plainly read the letters "a c."
1t was a queer freak that the club
men had of touching every new thing
with gold. Every new boat that was
launched had it's golden rivet, and at the
laying of the corner stone of the club
house a peck basketful of gold and
silver coins were buried in the mortar
Some search may be made for these
coins The club flagpole had a gold
eagle nailed to it's apex, and the knobs
of the lockers Of the yacht Mary Jane
Tweed were decorated with quarter
eagles The yacht also had a gold eagle
at her topmast. This was Tweed's fav-
orite craft, and she often came bowling
along toward home with Field Point on
the lee shore, the gold at her topmast re-
hecting the sunlight with bright flashes.
1t was this craze to make free and
strange use of money, and particularly
gold, that led to mailing gold dollars in
the eyes and teeth of the tigers in the
carpet. 1t is said that a carpet tack was
driven through the center of each dollar,
and the constant wear of many feet all
these years has kept the coins bright
and glistening, although the casual OBJ
server might easily mistake them for
golden spots in the web and wool of the
fabric itself.

luent cleveland, II
is believed that the property is being
purchased for the president Among
William NJ Tweed's nearest friends it
was known that two men used to ac-
company him almost everywhere as
sort of bodyguard. Tweed always had
a horror Of being stabbed, and feeling
that some enemy was awaiting an OPP
portunity to thrust a knife into his alb
domen. These men were instructed to
protect him, one on each side, and, in
walking in crowd, to keep few PAGES
in front Of him. One Of these men was
an oyster man, whose home was in
Greenwich, and he was not only Tweed's
faithful friend, but his valet as well.
He died not long ago. Not many of the
guests who have wandered through the
drawing room of the Indian Harbor
hotel in the last "a years have known the
history Of the wonderful carpet beneath
their feet and yet it is so famous that
men interested in the production OF
such fabrics have Travelled hundreds Of
miles to examine it. 1t was made in
Brussels in 1870. 1t was one entire piece,
and the loom upon which it was woven
had to be made expressly for it's manu-
facture, With all the pounding and
humping and dancing of the multitudes
that for nearly quarter of century
have used it, 1t is still bright and thick.
There was good deal of talk about this
carpet in the palmy days of the Tweed
ring, and some members Of the club did
not agree with Tweed about the pur-
chase Of so expensive floor covering.
1t was only Tweed's persistence and the
carelessness with which he spent money
that finally settled the matter,
II want something on that floor" said
he one day, that will last as long as the
building does. There shall be no seams
in 1t, so that when it is cleaned it can be
raised to the roof, edge up, and beaten
from the windows"
1t is said that this beautifully woven
carpet has never been taken off the floor,
and that it lies just as it was originally
