Thoughts While Falling.

Few men have had such terrible
fall as Seth Harrington and lived to
tell of it. He gives remarkable ac-
count of his decent through ninety
FIVE feet of space. Harrington is one
of the men who fell with the ll0-foot
smokestack at Jones & Laughlins
Southside mill during the storm Satur-
day evening. Frank Woolem of Four
mile Run and Frank Grady of South
Twenty-seventh street were the other
riggers at work when the accident oc-
cdrred, but both escaped serious injury.
Harrington was working on the in-
side of the stack, putting on the rim.
He was compelled to come out over
the top and 90 down the outside. lie
had gone down the steps, or iron
handles, about fifteen feet when the
stack and scstfolding suceumbed to
the gale. Harrington struck on the
roof of the boiler house, crushed through
it, and was held fast on the steam dome.
His escape from instant death is little
less than miraculous.
The injured mans story OF his ex'
perieuce during the few seconds he was
flying to what seemed certain death is
interesting, and gives information on
how people feel when all support has
been withdrawn from them at any
great height.
you see, when people who are not
used to high places fall, they become
nearly dead from fright before they
are half way to stopping place. said
Harrington last evening at the South
side Hospital. "Scared1 Well, |

thought of poor Woolem and Grady,
who supposed were flying to the
same fate.
"Wby, l even pictured myself laid

up and taking a last look at me. Even
the news Of my death passing from
one friend TO another and bow sup
posed they would take it came TO me.

Harrington admitted, however, that
between the thoughts Of friends. &c,
he was wondering if he was going TO
land on something soft. "-PatsJtrg

deadly disease in its more advanc-
ed stages.
San Antonio is abundantly
prepared to accommodate 10000
visitors and invalids. We have
banks, express companies, street
railroads, and all things to be
found in a modern civilized city.
Invalids are able to take the
fresh and bracing air everyday
throughout our winters, il they
are minded to do so.
1t is sheer folly in invalids to
prefer a small country town to
such city as San Antonio. The
former can offer but few comforts
and no amusements, while San
Antonio possesses a good fruit
market, plenty Of oysters, theatres,
street cars, hotels, restaurants,
etc.
Is prolongation of life for fifteen
or twenty years, no blessing to
invalids? II it is a blessing, let
invalids flock to San Antonio
and snatch this blessing from the
jaws Of death, and bless God for
our climate.
1t is very much to be regretted
that the people of the north are
ignorant Of the climatic advant-
ages Of San Antonio, and that this
state:of Ignorance comes from our
failure to advertise our city
and its advantages, as they de-
serve to be. We ourselves are
alone to blame for the people be-
ing strangers to the great restora-
tive effects Of our climatic condi-
tions on invalids.

There is one medicine which
every family should be provided
with. We refer to Cham berlain's
Pain Balm. When it is kept at
hand the severe pain of a burn or
scald may be promptly relieved
aad the sore healed in much less
time than when medicine has to
be sent for. A sprain may be
promptly treated before infiamma-
ton sets in, which insures a cure
in about one-third the time other
wise required. Cuts and bruises
should receive immediate atten-
ton, before the parts become swol-
len, and when Chamberlain's Pain
Balm is applied it will heal them
without matter being formed, and
without leaving scar. A sore
throat may be cured in one night.
A piece Of flannel dampened with
this liniment and bound on over
the seat of pain, will cure lame
back or pain in the side or chest in
twenty-four hours. 1t is the most
valuable, however, for rheuma-
tism. Persons afflicted with this
disease will be delighted with the
prompt lelief from pain which il
affords, and it can be depended
upon to effect complete cure. Fol

Why don't the Pharisees, who
are thrilled with agonies Of pious
horror at the idea OF prize fight
coming of in Texas, "hew to a
line, let the chips fall where they
may~
Running horses three and four
miles, under whip and spur, over
q race track, is refined, genteel
and fashionable amusement and
is patronized by the ultra fash
ionables of both sexes, and by a
goodly number OF church MEM
beers on the sly .r..sa-
1t is neither fun nor recreation
for the poor overtasked horses.
The Supreme Court long past held
it was no violation Of the anti
gambling law to bet on horse
races.
Fighting poor dumb chickens
with deadly gaffs on them, is
every way, more cruel, inhuman
and brutslizing than a fight be.
tween two professional prize fight
ers, whose, hides are as callous
as the heel Of negro in the bare
footed season, and who are expert
boxers.
The tribe Of Pharisee, il they
are conscientious in their crusade
against prize-figh.ing, and If they
place any value on consistency,
should belabor and maui horse
racing and cock fighting with fists,
beaks and talons.
Prize-fighters possess sense and
pummel each other Of their own
free will and accord. They are
not armed with deadly gaffs, nor
are they piled with whip and
spurs.
Horses are forced by whip and
spur, to run at their best. Game
cocks do not put gaffs on them
selves to slash and rip each other,
in order that men may bet on
which one of them will kill or
disable the other.
Prize fighting is cruel, inhuman
and brutalizing, and exerts
demoralizing influence on the
people. But, while the Pharisees
are waging crusade against prize
fighting, by all means, let them
"hew to the line, let the chips fall
where they may" and put down
all cruel and brutalizing pas
time, and sports. Let them pro-
tect the dumb fowls, and beasts,
"without discourse of reason"
from the cruelty and inhumanity
OF man.
In the time of Christ, the
Pharisees strained at a "gnat and
swallowed a camel" hair, hide
and hoofs, but the Pharisees Of
our time-"Compound for sins to
which they are inclined. By damn
ing those for which they have
no mind"
Gov. Culberson should now Ego

horse racing and cock fighting on
the altar of humanity and morali-
ty.
Should the Pharisees and Puri-
tans up in the west and the north
hear that horse racing and cock
fighting were popular, genteel,
fashionable and lawful pastimes
in Texas, they wonld never come
to settle in Texas nor loan our
people money.
Gov. Culberson and his brigade
OF Tartuffs, Pecksniffs, Uriah
Heaps and Charters Surface
should proceed to exeterminate
horse races, dog fights, badger
fights and cock fights and legislate
people into straight-laced moral
lists, nolens volens. Hurrah fol

morality!

AN ECCENTRIC RECTOR,
He Belonged to an Ancient House Of
British Nobility.

From the Buffalo Commercial.
Rev. Ralph Tollemache who has Just
died. was a godson Of Queen Victoria's
uncle, the Duke of York. and a leading
member of that ancient house of the Brit
ish nobility, of which the Earl of Dysart is
the head. He inherited all the traditional
and hereditary greatness of the family, and a
couple of years ago was deprived of his rec
tory in Leicestershire, as well as the control
of his fortune, by reason of his eXtraordi-
nary behavior Among other things, he was
wont to do was to take with him into the pull
pit large and shrill whistle. which he blew
vigorously each time he wished to emphasize
any statement he had made.
When he read the lessons during divine
service he would invariably walk thrice
besides this he wore large ring on his
thumb, which he claimed to be enchanted.
He vas a grandson Of the seventh Earl of
Dysart, and leaves large number of chill
dren who are noted for the extraordinary
a accumulation of Christian names with which
he has endowed each of them.
Thus his daughter Lyona has no less than
sixteen other Christian names besides, and
his son Lyulph has eighteen. including the
names of Cromwell Oiin and Todmag. The
other children have been dealt with in an
equally generous manner. The late Lord
DySart, although possessed of incalculable
wealth spent the last twenty years of his
life in the direst perjury, living like hermit
in two dingy rooms in a side street off the
Strand, in London, never leaving them, and
meals being passed through a hole in the

From the Chicago Daily Tribune.
The latest addition to the curiosities OF
St. Louis is what Secretary Saunders of the
election commission calls a rope house. 1t
is a combination saloon and hotel at Levee
and Spruce streets, kept by man named
Peterson.
Across the room the proprietor has rope
stretched tightly, and in front of it and
parallel with it is row of ordinary wooden
bottom chairs. Every lodger, upon pay
ment of five cents, is given a chair and
is allowed to sleep with his head resting
upon the rope. They are allowed to sleep
until 6 o'clock in the morning. Promptly
at that time the bartender is required to
see that every lodger is awakened and
made to move on.
This is acc omplished by striking one end
of the rope with a bung starter. The
blows have pretty much the same effect as
striking the sleeping boarders on the head
with billy. and they generally move on.
If this fails, one end of the rope is I'M
fastened and the remaining sleepers are
allowed to fall sprawling on the floor.

Portland canal, this change having been
an error. By this change the line and an
area of American territory, about equal in
size to the state of Connecticut was trans
ferred to British territory. The speaker
then animadverted upon this matter with
some tartness, pointing out that three dis
tinct lines of argument proved the I'M
tenability of this British Columbian claim.
First, the British admiralty when sur
veying the northern limit of British CO.
lumbar possession in 1865 one year after
the cession OF Alaska, surveyed Portland
canal, and not Benin canal, thus by impli-
cation admitted this canal as the boundary.
line. Second, the region now claimed by
British Columbia was at that time occu-
pied by a military post of the United
States without objection or protest on the
part of British Columbia Third, Annette
Island in this region was, by an act of
Congress, four years ago, set apart as a
reservation for the use of the Metlakatla
Indians, who sought asylum under the
American flag to escape annoyances eXper-
fenced under the British flag.
: Still Another Shift.
Turning attention now to Lynn canal,
the northernmost extension of the Alex
ander archipelago, the speaker pointed out
that the official Canadian map of 1884 car
ried the boundary line around the head
of this canal that another Canadian map
three years later carried the line across the
head of the canal in such manner as to
throw its headwaters into British territory;
still later Canadian maps carry the line
not across the head of the canal, but cross
near its mouth, some sixty or seventy
miles south of the former line. Upon these
shifting lines the speaker made some caus-
tic remarks. closing with a reference to
the steps by which one after another the
European powers had withdrawn their
claims to dominion in North America. To
break the hold of England on the thirteen
American colonies required a seven years
war. but from Spain we acquired Florida
by peaceful bargain and sale; similarly
by the Louisiana purchase we eXtinguished
all French title, and lastly from Russia, by
the purchase of Alaska we eXtinguish the
Russian title Great Britain alone of all
European nations still maintains her hold
on the North American continent: If the
Alaskan boundary question should be the
agency, said the speaker, of removing this
last restige of European domination over
the North American continent, the wisdom
of Mr.. Stewards purchase will receive
ample Vindica ton.
