May Abbott in Japan.

Annie May Abbott, the Georgia
electric magnet" whose feats Of
strength created sensation in this
country some years ago, is amusing
herself now with the strong men OF
China and Japan. The Japanese
wrestlers, whose physical strength
is celebrated the world over, were
unable to raise Miss Abbott from the
floor, while with the tips Of her
fingers she neutralized their most
strenuous efforts to lift even light
objects, such as cane from a table.
The Japanese papers say this is hyp-
notism, while the Chinese journals
accuse her of being in league with
the powers Of evil.

Death Of Peter Relyea, the Veteran
Undertaken.

Death of Peter Relyea, the Veteran
Undertaken.
Peter Relyea, the undertaken who
bad charge of Lincoln's funeral in
New York, died recently at his home,
No. ia Broadway, Brooklyn. He
was in his 8lst year, and since 1876
mad an undertaking business at No.
100 Broadway. Death was due to
old age. MIR. Relyea leaves two sons
and daughter.
Mr. Relyea was known as Uncle
Peter and up to one month ago could
hold his own with men many years
his junior. He was born at New
Paltz, Ulster county, New York. He
moved to New York city in 1882. He
began the undertaking business and
manufacture of collins at No. 3 Will
lett street in 184l.
Mr.. Relyea never tired of telling of
the quick work be did in arranging
for Lincoln's funeral. On the morn
ing Of April 81, 1865, one Of the New
York board Of aldermen engaged
him. The funeral car was to be
ready four days later. He hesitated
undertaking the work, but finally
agreed and erected a temporary
workshop in the square at the juno
ton of East Broadway and Grand
street, and from that moment On
worked increasingly, and the car to
be drawn by is horses was turned
out on time. Sixty men and women
were employed in the work, which
cost the city about $4,000. He took
charge of the body at Jersey City on
its arrival from Washington, and it
remained in his charge while lying in
state at the city hall.
An oil painting of the car hung in
his store for years.
His employees built the first brick
house in Williamsburg, at Kent av-
enue and Grand street.
During the Aston place riots in
war time he was lieutenant in the
presidents guard, and during the
draft riots served in company in
the home guards. He was men,
Der of the Masonic Veterans asso-
citation of New York, of Americas
Lodge No. 535. F. and A. NJ, and it's
chaplain since its organization in
1863. While living in New York he
was school inspector and trustee.
On October IS, 1895, his 80th birth
day was appropriately celebrated in
Blohme's hall. On that occasion he
played two games of nine-pins, scor-
ing 142 in the first and l46 in the
second game.

A Lonely Negro.

There is only one colored man in
all of Deer Isle, Me-, which has a
population of about 5000 persons,
including the sailormen who sailed
the Defender last fall. The colored
citizen is Oliver Van Meter. He is
II years, and he distinguished him
self last week by getting married.
Colored folk are rare in many parts
of Maine. Many towns and villages
have not one colored resident, and
the children regard any negro who
may stray into their neighborhood as
a great curiosity, and will follow him
about open-mouthed.

Feature of the Vegetarian Fad in Eng
land.
There are vegetarians who deny
themselves flesh food on sanitary
grounds only, while others cling to
the diet on humanitarian grounds.
They refuse to eat meat because they
decline to even remotely sanction
the slaughter of living creature for
any purpose, says the New York
World.
This feeling is carried to the point
of fad in England and as a result

Soft Shell Grabs.

Many hundreds OF soft shell
crabs were up on the beach at Fem
wick, Conn, recently and the old
fishermen say such thing never oc-
Cured before. They account for it
by the theory that the heavy wind
storms lately stirred up the waters
of the sound SO much that the crabs
were torn from the bottom, then the
strong undertow carried them shore
ward, and the heavy surf cast them
up on the beach. Several barrelfuls
were shipped to New York and sold
at rs cents O dozen.

100000 POUNDS OF CRACKERS.
Immense Daily Output Of the New
York Bakeries.

The great industry which is
carried on by the manufacturing
bakers of New York city is very ex-
tensive, says the Mail and Express.
An expert in this business, in talk
ing with a reporter, made the esti-
mate that no less than $50, 500, 900
would represent the amount of cap
ital invested in this business. There
are two great baking firms alone in
New York, each of which is capital
lied at $tO,O00,0O0, and there are
any number of smaller firms, includ-
ing the smaller bakeries, with a cap
ital of $50, 900 to 800, 900, which turn
out a limited quantity of goods,
mostly of a special kind.
The manufacture of biscuit and
crackers is practically a new indus
try in this country but in the past
ten or fifteen years the manufacture
ers of New York have made the dis
covery that they can turn out just as
RDOu CIdChcIS dIlu DlSCulG DIS dE6 DTO-
duced in England, which is q great
biscuit-eating country and the home
of the cracker and biscuit-producing
manufacturers. ..'
The reasons given by the manufac-
turing bakers for their great success
in New York are that the city is the
easiest place in this country to get
supplies and also it is the distribut-
ing point for large amount of bust
ness. New York city alone calls for
so many goods each year that one of
the $40, 900, 900 plants working night
and day would be quite unable to
supply the home market. One plant
of very large proportions in New
York is able to convert 200 barrels
of -four into crackers in one day.
This means 24O,O pounds of crack
ers. The capacity Of another large
plant is 100000 pounds of fancy
goods, like ginger snaps and waters,
in one day. One large bread bakery
has been known to take 600 barrels
of -four in a day and turn it into
bread.
