MANY NICE THINGS DISPLAYED
Opening Day or the Ceramic Club Display
at Lewis Academy.

The sight of the Ceramic Club rooms
at the Lewis Academy last night was
like a real glimpse Of Fairyland. All
day long a bevy of ladies had buzzed
about the rooms like bees, arranging
dainty bits of china on lovely doilies,
putting a palm here, bouquet lamp
there, and the effect was something
charming, something worth seeing. AT
the north entrance a young girl served
frappe from an exquitely hand-painted
bowl which would have been called
punch bowl. but for the well known
prohibition of Professor Naylor who
had kindly donated this room TO the
service Of the devotees of Ceramic art.
In this room are the exhibits of Mrs.
II. II. Kramer, Miss Sargent, Miss
Aquilla Hettinger. Gertie jackson. Miss

AT THE CEMETERY.
In spite Of the threatening clouds a
vast concourse went to the cemetery
where the ritualistic ceremony was OBJ

ladies of the G.. A. r., formed in the
circle around the monument, and
though the rain poured down, Post
Commander w. G. Burgess delivered

TORE OFF A HAND
THAT SAME OLD GUN DOES SOME
MORE BUTCHERING.
While Joseph Fenneil of Battery Was
Ramming Home the Last Charge to
Fire Salute to the Vetran Dead a Pre-
mature Explosion Occurred and He Fell
Bleeding to the Ground--Taken to Hos
pital, Hand Amputated--It was the Same
Cannon That Tore OF the Arms of Harry
Parks.

Another horrible accident occurred in
the ranks of Battery A Light artillery
yesterday, the result of which was
the amputation of the arm of Joseph
Fennen at st. Francis hospital last
night by DR.. Hoffman. Yesterday.
Private Fennell. who is young man
we'll liked in the battery, and good
soldier, went forth with his comrades
and officers 10 honor the veteran dead.
To his company was assigned the duty
of firing the salutes at he grave and
he was one of the men who attended TO
the charging of the cannon. Every
thing passed off nicely until the last
salute was TO be fired. The charge was
put in the cannon and Private Fennell
was raining il home when the gun when
off, it belched forth fire and smoke and
Private Fennell lay PROSTATE on the
ground beneath its mouth. In the
twinkling of an eye everyone realized
what happend and there was, OF course.
great excitement, particularly when
the first whisper that went round was
that a soldier had been killed. 1mme-
diately the cannon was surrounded by
thousand people. Private 'Fennell
was taken care of for the time being by
as soon as possible was placed in car
riage and driven to the st. Francis
hospital.
The premature discharge of the gun
broke the ramrod into splinters and
these splinters were shot into the flesh
Of the arms and body of Mr.. Fennell
like arrows. Two or three fingers of
one hand were carried away, and the
other arm was badly injured. 1t was
at first thought that one Of the arms
would have to be amputated while the
hand of the other must be taken off,
but after consultation, it was found
necessary to amputate the hand
only. Last night after the surgeons
had performed their work and the
wounds dressed the young man was
reported to be resting easy, and no
fears are entertained about his re-
covery.
The gun that was being used when
the accident occurred is the same gun
that tore off the arms of Harry Parks
at Arkansas City three years ago, and
for which he received a pension from
the state at the last session of the legis-
lature. The gun in question has, by
premature explosions, crippled five
men for life, and will undoubtedly kill
one or more men If the military author

Flesh Until Relieved.
Last June the 7-year-old daughter OF
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Boblenz, residing
near Gurleys, o., took a drink of water
from an open well, and as soon as she had
taken it ran TO the house and informed her
mother that she had swallowed something
alive. From that time until last Saturday
the child suffered and gradually grew thin
ner in flesh.
Drs. Sager of Agosts and Feaster Of L.
Rue were called TO the aid Of the child. In
the meantime the well from which the wa
ter was obtained was examined by Mr.
and Mrs. Boblenz, and 20 their consterna-
tion they found several young snakes IN
the well. which measured some two inches
in length. This investigation strength
ened the child story OF having swallowed
a live object, and she was treated accord
ingly. There were alternating hopes and
fears In her case. and consequently much
rejoicing when the treatment proved sue
cessful and the little one was relieved Of a
snake, which measured exactly 12 inches
In length, suggesting the evident growth

CLEVERLI AMBIDEXTEROCS.
San Francisco Pcn1nan Who Writes With
Both Hands.


0Gus Mooney, a copyist in the
county clerks office is the handiest
man with the pen in the new city
hall. He performs all sorts Of feats
that to the ordinary man seem mar
yelous. He is ambidextrous and
writes most beautiful hand, some
times Il fine Spencerian and at other
times a round back hand that is like
a copper plate. Mooney copies the
wills filed into the record, and usually
writes the page on the left side Of
the open book with his right hand
and the next page with his left, SO
that he always has a rest for his
arm. When he tires Of writing a
running hand he turns the book
little and writes page after page in
his back hand style.
Mooney can take two pens. one in
each hand, and, starting at common
point, can write two signatures stimuli
tancously, writing the one with his
left hand backward, and the sigma
lures will be almost exactly alike.
He seems to do his thinking with his
wrist, too, for lie writes two entirely
different names lat the same time,
and with dash and flourish that is
surprising, and occasionally lie varies
the monotony of his work by copying
two different wills on opposite pages
at the same time, Or by com mencing
at the last letter Of one will and
copying it backward with his left
hand, while copying another from the
beg inning with his right.
Mooney is a jig dancer, and takes
no little pride in his ability to indite
copies Of the most complicated
signatures in the sand or sawdust Of
d bar room floor while dancing a
lively jig. \ few days ago, on q
small wager, he initiated the sigma
turc Of Henry Schcssclman on the
floor of {. saloon blndfoldcd, and that
by commencing at the very last let
ter and dancing it backward. San
Francisco Post.
