Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1895-05-09

Woo Jan, a Chinese laundryman Of
Ashland, KY, went into grocery
store of that town the other day and
paid for bill of groceries for a desti-
tute family. He requested that the
benefciaries be kept in ignorance of
the identity OF the donor. In New York
the collector for charity called at Watts
washee house and asked for contribu-
ton for the destitute. Both the pro-
prietor and his assistant put their
hands in their pockets and each con-
tributed sc. There is yet hope for the

Frederick Weimar farmer, COM
mitted suicide near Versailles, Ky. The
coroner returned a verdict of suicide,
superinduced by a plethora Of infelici-
tous matrimonial experiences" This
is startling verdict, but it seems to
hit Mr.. Weimar's case to a dot. Mr..
Weimar appears to have been social
anarchist. He leaves four widows, one
or two mistresses and bride Of twelve
hours behind him. Weimar went to
Louisville with a load of tobacco. He
made sale of it for 500 and also had
500 in cash besides. He was afraid
he would be robbed if he went to sleep
alone and confided in two hackmen.
He told them he wished he had wife
to help him guard his money and Of
fered $50 for BRIDE The two hackmen
volunteered to get him wife for $50
and did so, one of them surrendering
all claims to his sweetheart for that
amount The woman was willing and
a wedding ceremony was performed.
Twelve hours later he committed sui
eide. The bride claims that immedi-
ately after the wedding Weimar re-
vealed to her that he had wife and
three grown daughters living in Rip
ley, Ohio, wife in Bracken County,
a wife in Versailles and paramour
named Kate Cots, with whom he had
been living for two years, besides her
self. Whereupon, realizing that she had
only a one-fffth interest in her hus-
bands affections, the bride began her
matrimonial career by making her
honeymoon SO sultry that her much
married husband went out and cheated
the law by committing suicide. All of
which seems to indicate that a man
ought not to marry more than four
women at once, even in Kentucky.
Weimar probably never had heard of
the Chicago uncoupling process.

1t Is interesting to learn that the
Keely motor is complete at last. Mr..
keely has achieved the all-important
connection that eluded him so long.
He has found the missing link. He has
drawn from the atmosphere "a SYM
pathetic force of outreach representing
in the full receptive circuit an accumu-
lation of polar sympathy of more than
twentythree tons when under rotation
to be distributed to the polar and di-
polar circuits of the machine" This
is Il little hazy at first sight, but be-
comes luminous as you allow your mind
to dwell upon it. A machine whose
polar and dipolar circuits are rotating
under pressure of polar sympathy
amounting to twenty-three tons would
run saw mill. We congratulate Mr..
Keely and hope there is no mistake.

A FOur-FOOted Bird.

That there are still numerous chances
for the interchangeable student and in
vestigator to make new discoveries
may be judged from the fact that the
only known species of four-footed bird
has been discovered quite recently.
This curious anamoly, which could
very properly be termed an avis para
doxalis," is a native Of the Amazon
River country, it's principal habitat be-
ing the islands of Marajo. Is is only
during the period of incubation, at
which time the embryos extra legs and
feet are seen at their best, and early
birdhood, that the four-footed feature
is at all observable.
Like the baby frog, which either
sheds or absorbs it's tail, the four
footed bird rids itself of it's useless legs
in the same manner, chicks six weeks
Of age usually being perfectly free
from any signs Of the extra members.
The ornitholOgistS profess to believe
that this curious creature is survival
of some past geological epoch. Its sci
entific name is Opisthocomus cristatus.
The natives call it the ''hoactZin, -
which means the ''evil-smelling bird"
1t is also claimed that there is not a
carnivorous animal known that will
taste it's fiesh.-St. Louis Republic.

an embattled top, seventy feet high
and sixty feet in diameter. 1t was
built of brick and the outside coated
with travertine marble which was re-
moved during this century to adorn
the Fountain of Trevi. The walls are
twenty-five feet thick, and within the
tower is a circular dome-shaped cham
Der fifteen feet in diameter. Here rest
ed the remains of Caecilia Metalla, wife
of Crassus, the son of the celebrated
Triumvir. At different periods it
served as fortress and has stood sew
eral sieges. Not far from this sepul
cher is the spot where 5000 Christians
were put to death by the Romans be-
cause they would not turn pagan. The
scene Of the massacre is marked by Il
slab recounting the fate of the mar
tyrs.
Another striking tomb bordering the
Appian Way is the Pyramid of Caius
Cestius, patrician and statesman who
died II 3. G.. The style is Egyptian
and the material is brick, which is
covered with marble blocks. The top
is ninety feet from the ground. It's
ancient character is heightened by the
Gate Of ST. Paul, which it adjoins, and

SINGS FOR THE PHONOGRAPHS.
Chicago Man Who Makes $50 Day
by Stretching His Lungs.


Away out in the extreme northwest
ern part of the city, near the Milwaukee
Railroad tracks, Silas Leachman puts
in four or five hours every day sing
ing at the top of his lungs, though not
a soul is in hearing but his wife. When
he gets tired of singing he varies the
proceedings by preaching a negro SER
mon, or gives an imitation of an Irish
wake. and altogether conducts himself
in way that would lead the neighbOrS
to consider him fl subject for llln-
attic asylum-if there were any neigh
bOrs, but there are not. This is the
very reason Mr.. Leachman chose the
lonely spot for his residence. No one
ever goes out there to hear him sing,
and yet he is getting rich at it, He
earns something over $50 every day,
though he never sees one of his audi
tors. Mr.. Leachman sings for phono-
graphs and as he has a monopoly OF
the business in the West, he cOntriveS
to keep busy, and has even been heard
to express a wish that he were twins.
He has better protection in his monop-
oily than a copyright or an injunction,
or unlimited legal talent could afford.
Nature gave him the peculiar qualities
that enable him to reproduce his voice
perfectly on the wax cylinders. Hun
dreds of persons have attempted to
break in on his profitable monopoly,
but the results of their efforts put an
effectual stop to their attempts. And
so Mr.. Leachman goes on enjoying the
monopoly and reaping the profits there
Of
There are four other men in the East
that also do work for the photograph,
but while they have to have man to
play the piano while they sing, another
to make the announcement, another to
change the cylinders, and a fourth TO
keep the machines in order, Mr.. Leach
man is the entire show in himself.
Furthermore, he can give an unlimited
number of representations while the
other four men are limited to a few
specialties each. He sings ballads,
negro melodies, and Irish, Chinese and
Dutch dialect songs. He plays his own
accompaniment on the piano and takes
care of the machines. He prepares
three records" as the wax cylinders
are called, at one time. To do this three
monographs are placed near the piano
with the horns at one side pointing
away from the keyboard at an angle
of As degrees. The horns have to be
placed very carefully, for fifth of an
inch makes a great difference in the
tone the cylinders will reproduce.
When the horns have been adjusted
exactly right Mr.. Leachman seats him
self at the piano and, turning his head

General Martinez Campos, who is in
command of the Spanish forces in Cuba,
has been for twenty eight years a leading
Spanish soldier and statesman. He was
an adherent of Sagasta, and had very
considerable influence in the army. Since
1879, when he became minister of war
and president of the council he has been
conspicuous in the politics of Spain, al
though not always in Office. His sword
has won for him his prominent position
in Spain. The only Office he owes to
politics is that Of marshal. The Carlist
and Cuban campaigns bear ample witness
to his proves in the field. General Cam
pos is sturdy, swarthy complexioned
Spaniard, about fifty-fve years old and Of
medium height. He is energetic and per-
severing and smokes necessarily. His
system of conquering has been simple,
but effective, and has demonstrated that
Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1895-05-09

he had genius for war. He would sur
round his enemies, whether Carlists, Gu
bans, democrats or intransigentes, with
an imposing force. Then with great
GOODNESS he would quietly tell his foes
that they had better give in. Of course,
they could fight and cause loss of men
and great expense. But they were sure
to lose in the end. And these arguments
were generally effective. His alleged Or
der to his commanders in Cuba in 1877
to shoot all prisoners of war was officially
denied, but at the time it was pretty gen
orally believed that he had issued such
an order. The Spanish Government in
1873 granted him $25, 100000 to carry on
the war against the Cuban insurgents.
In June of that year he made his tri-
umphal entry into Havana. After hos
tilities had terminated he was selected
to represent Spain in the negotiations
with Morocco.

away over his right shoulder, begins
to sing as loud as he can, and that is
pretty loud, for he is man of powerful
physique, and has been practicing loud
singing for four years. He has been
doing this work until his thoat has be-
come calloused so that he no longer be-
comes exhausted after singing short
time. AS soon as he has finished one
song he slips off the wax cylinders,
puts on three fresh ones without leav
ing his seat, and goes right on singing
until passing train compels him to
stop for short time. In the four years
he has been in the business he has
made nearly 100000 records. So great
is the demand for them that he cannot
fill his orders. 1t is such exceedingly
hard work that he cannot sing more
than four hours a day. He gets 35
cents for every cylinder he prepares
He has repertoire Of 42O pieces, and
his work is put on the market under a
score of names. He has remark
able memory, and after once hearing a
song cannot only repeat the words and
music correctly, but he can initiate ex
cellently the voice and expression Of

THE APPlAN WAY.
Something of the Construction of I'll;
Celebrated Road,

SOmeCh1ng Of the construction of Th;s
Celebrated Road.
Visitors to Rome find the Amman
Way the most fascinating study of tho
ancients. From it's commencement IN
the Forum out to Frascatti, fifteen
miles, it was known as Via Sacra. and
for much Of the distance it's sides wer,
the burial ground Of the rich and We'll
TODD. More than 100000 persons
found sepulcher along it's course. and
as the interment was by night the
flaming torches of the burial parties
were so numerous that at distance If
resembled a gala occasion instead OF
the most solemn of terrestrial ceremo-
MES. The obsequies took place nine
days after death and were gruesoms
indeed. Hired musicians PLAYED
mournful airs, clown took off the
dead mans peculiarities and the fe.
male mourners gave loud utterance to
their grief, beating their breasts and
tearing their hair. With the wealthy
the body was carried Oh an ivory
couch and covered with gold and pur
pie.
Appius Claudius, censor of Rome.
commenced the construction Of the Ap-
plan Way 2,2OS years ago. In the way
of road building it never has had an
equal. 1t was the greatest engineer
ing triumph of the Romans. The ex-
pense of it's construction exceeded even
that of the viaducts. Mountains had
to be cut through, valleys filed up
ravines bridged and swamps embarked
to give Rome perfect highway to the
southernmost point of Italy. The road
bed was of the most substantial char.
acter. The excavation was carried four
feet and the loose soil was carefully re.
moved. Then a roller was employees
to harden the floor of the excavation.
Upon this bed were placed four layers
of stone cemented with lime. The
upper or surface stone consisted of
basaltic lava, a foot in thickness and
of the hardness Of flint. 1t was cut
with six sides and so accurately joint
ed that it looked as if it were a solid
mass. 1t is twenty-five centuries since
it was laid and to this day in spots it
is as good as when the road was opened
to the triumphant legions of Rome
About the city the roadway has been
macadamized, but at Terracina and in
the Forum you can see the same blocks
that sustained the Roman chariots cen
turtles before the birth of Christ.
One of the most impressive specta-
cles along this highway is the Tomb Of
Caecilia Metalla, built 1900 years ago
It lies two miles outside the ancient
gates on an eninence overlooking the
Campagna, is circular in form, with

1t is time to reorganiZe the Supreme
Court. In the first place it is short

but declines. There seems to be no
way Of reorganizing the Supreme
bench of the United States except by
death. Once in the silk it is hard to
get back to the wool, and the Supreme
bench has attractions beyond the pow
er of human nature to resist. But it
is question whether there ought not
to be means of regulating the Su-
preme bench, to keep it in line with
popular thought and advanced senti-
ment. When a man gets old beyond
his usefulness, he ought to be made to
retire. When another man gets sick
and is told by his physicians that he

which is one of the best preserved OF
the entrances to the walled city. The
gate is even older than the tomb and
is an object of surprising interest to
the tourist. St Pauls Church, next to
st. Peters, the most magnificent in
Rome, is beyond this gate on the APP
plan Way. Near it ST. Peter and st
Paul bade farewell to each other.
Farther along is the Church Of Dom
inie Quo Vadis where, when St Peter
was fleeing from the death Of mar
tyr, our Lord miraculously appeared 70
him in human form and admonished
him to go back and face his prosecutors
and give up his life for the sake of the
people, to which ST. Peter assented.
On this visitation the footprints Of the
Divine Master were impressed on
stone, one of which is preserved in the
Church of ST. Sebastian and shown TO

Lawyers and Their Neckties.


Lawyers CT this town. and in fact in
all cities have curious fad as regards
neckties. They seem to be very partial
to those little black silk cravats. What
is more, they never tie them tastefully.
but leave the ends struggling out, and
sometimes the bow is not evident at
all. Now, why is this? Is it a matter
Of superstition or merely the aping Of
some great man of law who wore his
cravat in the manner above noted?
A reporter spoke to well-known
young lawyer about it and when it was
suggested TO get a new tie the fellow
gave gasp Of horror.
'Why. man, / could not think Of
changing it"
''What's the reason?" was the H.
quiry.
Reason, reason?' He looked blank
for a moment. "There isn't any real
