A singular fatality IS pursuing tho

have been ten deaths since Christmas
from some peculiar disease. and the SUI
perstitious ones consider the curse as
something like judgment from heaven.
This belief is strengthened among the

seven colored people who attended u
dance on Christmas night have been
among those to die. Cincinnati En-

gresham.
Tt is a reminiscence of Minneapolis.
The Harrison opposition, having failed
with Blaine and Reed and Mckinley,
and everybody else in the effort to mite
upon candidate, finally concluded
that Senator Cullom was the man. The
senator had retired at midnight. At 3
O'Clock iii the morning he was awaken
ed by the emissaries of the combine,
and for an hour OF more they struggled
with him to induce him to permit him
self to be used to defeat Harrison in the
convention All you need to do, said
they, lis 10 let the Illinois delegation
vote foT you We viii do the rest. But
Senator Cullom was firm against the al
hiring temptation. He told his visitors
that the Illinois delegation had been in
structed for Harrison, and there, so far
as he was concerned, they would stay
Not only would he not countenanee any
desertion, but If any one of the delega-
tion attempted to vote for him on the
floor he would instantly expose the
whole proceeding.
"With Cullom $ refusal to lend him
self to the proposition To defeat Harri-
son, said tho congressman, 'the oppo-
sition practically gave up the fight. The
coalition never doubted for moment
that it could have formed a winning
combination with Cullom, and it was
with tho keenest disappointment that it

A story of snffsring and death on the desert comes to us from Capt Charles Gracey, by way of Fl Dorado Canyon. A young tenderfoot recently arrived al the canyon from the east and, having heard oi the tropical heat of the desert, had provided himself with q paien, re- frigerating headgear He was an en. thusiastic prospector and few days af ter his arrival in camp an expedition into the desert was formed and he ac. companied it. Being young and good walker he was allowed 10 go ahead to locate camping places and water holes. The second day out was one of the hot test ever experienced on the desert coun- try and the old miners moved along slowly, not caring 10 take chances in the frizzliDg heat of the sun The young man wearing his refrigerator hat seemed not in the least concerned with the sun heat, but seemed cool and comfortable. This hat was in the shape of a small metallic tank with pipe running through the center. The sides came down in the shape of an ordinary hat and an inside band, like that in a cork hat kept a free circulation Of air around the bead and escaped up through the pipe in the top. This was all covered with cl.th and the tank on top filled with water. Many pieces of cloth were made 10 syphon the water from the tank on 10 the face of the wearer in cooling drops Hotter and hotter becomes the day, bot the young man pressed maniully on and was soon lost to view. As the shadows heightened across the desert they found him, but he was dead. His poor form was leaning sgainst rock and great icicles hung from his chin and his head was encased in mass of ice. The rapid evaporation of water caused by lhe intense glare of the sun had congealed it and the tender foot had met an awful death.
