No freaks of any kind will hereafter
be permitted to interview the President
of the United States in an official capac-
ity. Mr.. Cleveland is tired of being used
as an advertising medium by fat women
and giants, and objects of that sort. The
favorite method of freaks is to get a let
ter from Mr.. Cleveland by writing a COM
munication to him, and at the same time
keeping him in complete ignorance of the
fact that the writer is a freak. Then the
President, as likely as not, will send
reply, and the recipient of the note boasts
of 1t, and sends it all over the land, as an
indication of his or her renown.
But the President now receives and
writes to no freaks. For that matter, the
genuine freak Is becoming rare in the
land. Since the marriage of the great
giant of Georgia to the thousand pound
wonder and their retirement from bust
ness, the ranks have been reduced. Such
as we have in town command very high
price and are very difficult to deal with.

ARE THESE SENSES IDENTICALr
1t Is Now Said the Capacity 10 Smell
and Taste Have the Same Origin.

From the New York World.
The man who smoked in the dark one
night and discovered that when he couldn't
see the smoke all the pleasure or burning
tobacco was lost IS not more remarka-
Bile than the individual who has now dis
covered that the senses of taste and OF
smell are Identical. This gentleman ad-
vances the theory that the sense of taste
depends upon the number OF minute ten
tacies which constitute the surface of the
tongue and he says that some men have
three times as many of these as others;
The latter never become gourmands ana
their sense of smell is, says this observer,
In proof of these assertions it is said
that when you have bad cold you al
most lose these senses-that you can
neither detect delicate odors, like that OF
perfume, otherwise so noticeable nor
identify the faVors OF different KINDS OF
foods and drinks. The smoker who has
a severe cold finds that his cigar or CT
garette yields but little pleasure ana ne
finds that his glass of claret or cham
payne at dinner is almost as nat 10 the
taste as so much water.
RrIlat-Savarin, who lifted cooking from
the kitchen TO the library and made gas
tronomY a fine art, SAID that OF all the
senses in their natural state taste pro-
cures us the greatest number of enjoy
ments. For this he gives six reasons, as
Because the pleasure of eating, taken in
moderation. is the only one that Is not fol-
lowed by fatigue
BECAUSE it must return once al least ev-
cry day. and may during that space Of
time be easily repeated two or three times.
Because II can combine with all our
other pleasures, and even console us for
their absence.
Because its sensations are at once more
lasting than others and more subject to
our will.
Because we have a certain special but
undefnable satisfaction arising from the
instructive knowledge that By the very
act of eating we are making good our
losses and prolonging our existence.
These are the reasons advanced by this
eminent writer to prove that taste is
the most important of the senses. He was

BOMBS TO BIG MEN.
Internal Machines Sent to Armour and
Pullman.


Two crudely constructed Internal ma
chimes were mailed in Chicago Monday
morning to George NJ. Pullman and Philip
ID. Armour. They did not reach the des-
tinations the sender of them intended,
but were taken possession of by Capt.
Stuart, of the Postal Secret Service Capt.
Stuart also has in his charge 5. A.
Owens, who says he heard two men talk
ing of their scheme to kill Pullman and
Armour, and almost ran his legs off Sun
day night to warn them of the fate in
store for them.
The deadly character Of the machines
was demonstrated by an examination of
their contents and by igniting some of
the powder removed from them, as well as
part of the fuse which completed the
mechanism of contrivance so arranged
that the removal of the lids of the boxes
which composed the outer castings of the
devices would result in the ignition of the
powder and the fuse which was trained
into a lead pipe. The package addressed
to Mr.. Armour was unwrapped carefully.
When the paper had been removed it
was found to contain thin box about O
inches long, ~ inches wide and " inches
deep. 1t was made of wood taken from
cigar box. The three sides had been
nailed together, but on top there was a
sliding lid. 1t had been made rather
rudely, the lid especially being roughly
shaped and working badly. Inside was
a piece of lead pipe three-quarters of an
inch in diameter and as long as the inte-
rior length of the box. Both ends of the
lead pipe were plugged with corks. All
around this pipe and completely filling
the box was black, coarse powder, as n
match applied easily proved it to be.
There was hole in the side of the lead
pipe, and in this was fastened piece of
fuse three inches long. On the under
side of the sliding lid was glued piece
of sandpaper. Covering the powder in
side was an other piece of sandpaper,
with the rough side turned upward Be
tween the two sandpaper surfaces the
heads of II number of parlor matches had
been placed, with more powder scattered
in between.
The whole machine was fastened so
that if the sliding lid had been moved as
much as one-fourth of an inch one of the
matches must have become ignited by
the grinding sandpaper surfaces. No
matter what was contained inside the
piece of lead pipe, quarter of pound
of gunpowder must have been exploded,
and experts say that alone would have
done considerable damage to the person
drawing the lid. Both machines were
constructed upon the same principle.

carlisle ON Currency.

Secretary Carlisle's annual report on
the state of the finances was sent to Con-
gress Monday. 1t shows that the reven-
ues of the Government from all sources
during the last fiscal year amounted TO
$500, ,373, DOB. The expenditures during
the same period aggregated $433, 17S, ,426,
leaving deficit for the year of $42, ,SO5,-
223. As compared with the fiscal year
1894, the receipts for 1895 increased ST.
$40, 705, although there was decrease
of $11 800, ,9S1 in the ordinary expendi-
lures, which is largely accounted for by
a reduction of $11 ,134,055 on sugar boun-
ties. The revenues for the current ts-
cal year are estimated upon the basis of
existing laws at $431 ,907, ,407 and the
expenditures at $44S,9O7 ,4O7, which will
leave deficit Of $17 100000.
For the coming fiscal year ending June
80, 1907, the Secretary estimates the re-
ceipts at $464, ,793, 100 and the expendi-
lures at $457, 1884, ,193, or an estimated
surplus of $6,9OS,926 The Secretary
