Swallowed a stovepipc.

The series of bravado bets which have
been so frequent in Paris for some months
past reached a climax when a shopman
named Alexander, laid a wager of 500
francs that he would swallow a yard of
galvanized iron stove-piping, says the
Boston Traveller. The bet was accepted
and witnesses and referees appointed
Alexander and one of the witnesses went
to buy the piping, which was about one
sixteenth of an inch in thickness and five
inches in diameter. Alexander took it to
a smith and requested him to file it down
into a powder in the presence of the wit
nesses, who subsequently carried it to
a cafe in the Rue de la Chapelle where
the operation of swallowing the filings
was carried out. Over one hundred per-
sons attended as spectators. Alexander
divided the filings into five portions, plac-
ed them in five glasses of beer, and toss
ed them off at intervals of ten minutes
de played cards during the process of
drinking, and when the last glass of beer
and it's metallic addition had been con-
sumed, the bet was declared won, and
the 500 francs handed over to him. He
stated afterwards that he felt no incon-
Venience whatever from the feat

They Got Their Liccnses

There is an ancient law in Rhode Island
which. however is almost forgotten. re-
curing clergymen to take out a license
before officiating at marriages, says the
New York Tribune. The other day Father
- Hare and Mr.. Stewart, the Episcopal
rector of Auburn, went to the town CLERK
for this license At first, the town clerk
was much puzzled what to do, as he had
no proper license blanks. but he finally
got over the difficulty and the clergymen
departed. After they had got on a street
car, they opened their licenses. and each
was Mortified to find himself in the pos
session of "A full-hedged secOnd-class IL
quor license. with power to run a liquor
shop subject to all the privileges and pen
alties of the law. A closer inspection of
the license, however, showed that the
words 'second-class liquor license" Civ
ing power TO sell malt, spurious and in
toNicating liquors." at retail or whole
sale, had had a line drawn through them,
and instead of the words, "to sell malt,
spurious and intoxicating liquors" We're
interlined the words ito perform mar
riages," etc. Each clergyman made
a wry face as he contemplated his batter
ed license, and each silently vowed to ex-
hibit it only i'm case of dire peril of a $40
fine. But both blessed the ingenuity of
the official that could transform a dOcu-
ment which portends so much evil for the
race, according to their views, into an
instrument with power to give such hap

The Modern Navy.


In the old days. when the Constitution
was type Of the great naval ship. the
power Of a lighting craft was generally
estimated by the number Of port holes
along the broadside. and the hight OF the
spars To-day the greatest fighters have
no port holes Half dozen or so mon
str0us muzzles prOtrude from sponsors
or turrets. and at the stem and stern
there are ominous looking torpedo tubes.
The tail spars have disappeared entirely.
There remains something that is by
courtesy called a mast. but it is FOR mill
tary purposes solely. IT carries no sails,
and Inc true Old sea dog looks upon il with
disgust. The great war ship Of the pres
ent day. contrasted with pictures repre-
sentIns the ship in which Perry fought.
shows most wonderful evolution.
But it may be doubted that the great
steel modern battle ship so well illustrates
the progress that has been made in the
science Of naval warfare as do the smaller
craft of the classes proposed TO be au-
thorized by Congressman Lows bill. in
PRODUCED into the House the other day;
tAtfNs As'f A'A PNtAp bDdlS anu LNEIt4O tdLfu-
ers. Their class names are descriptive
Of their uses in service They are prob
ably the most highly wrought bundles
of energy and destructiveness for naval
use yet devised by belligcrent mankind.
Their powers are now so well recognized
that all Of the governments possessing
strong navies are providing themselves
with numbers Of them
Torpedo boats. as is pretty well known
are slight craft, built for speed and quick
maneuvering. They are mere adiuncts
10 the torpedo itself They carry no wea-
pom of offense except the torpedo, and
possibly light rapid fire gun with which
TO repel boarders. Their function is to
run close enough to an enemy's craft to
discharge a torpedo at it. depending upon
their small size and high speed to escape
injury themselves. The torpedo catcher
is the logical follower of the torpedo boat.
Its function is to chase and kill the tor
pedo boat 1t is, therefore, armored heavi-
ly, and carries one or more powerful
guns, and ram capable of cutting one of
its dlminutive antagonists IN two. 1t must
ne swift craft, and capable of being
maneuvercd so rapidly that a torpedo
cannot be discharged at it with any great
degree of accuracy. The necessity for
agility limits the size of the torpedo
catcher, which is the protector of the
great battle ships. Great speed and east
ness of maneuvering makes the torpedo
catcher with its terrible ram an opponent
more to be dreaded by torpedo boats than
even the battleships themselves. with
their monster guns.
Congressman Lows bill provides for
the building of fifty torpedo boats and
six torpedo catchers. the former to cost
$4,000 each and the latter $780, 900 each.
Torpedo boats are for offense. and tor
pedo catchers are for defense. They seem
to be called for in about the relative pro-
portion of nine to one for the uses of the
navy.

1t Makea a DiTercnce

BY only one northern paper have we
seen the lynching of Grant Waterbury, at
Sullivan, ILL.,, last Tuesday. condemned.
1t may have been condemned by other nor
thern republican papers, but if the lynch
ing had been very generally condemned
the fact would hardly have escaped our
notice.
When colored man in the south is
lynched for crime of the same charac-
ter as that committed by white man in
Illinois, the northern republican papers
make great cutlery about it. We agree
that lynchings ought to be condemned,
whether they occur in the north or the
SOUTH or whether the victim of the lynch
ers is white or black, but we do not see
why the republican papers make a differ
ence between a lynching in the north and
a lynching in the south. Why does the
lynching of a black man in the south
appear to them to be much more
heinous offense than the lynching of a
white man in the north?
They may say the locality of a lynching
makes no difference to them, and that
they condemn lynchings wherever they oc-
cur. But, as a matter of fact, the section
in which the lynching occures and the
color of the person lynched do make a
difference to them apparently. because
they denounce mob law in the south and
fail 70 notice instances of it in the north.
There may not be as many lynchings in
the north as in the south, and for reasons
that are apparent, b@t lynchings do oc-
cur in the north and a great many of
them in the course of year Why do
not these northern republican papers ad-
nit that the north is just about on a
par with the south in the mater of lynch
ings? Why are they not honest and CON
s.stent? Why do they permit the section
in which a lynching occurs influence them
in their treatment of it?
We call attention to this matter because
we want the whole press to be honest and
consistent in the condemning of evils. If
the papers stand together in fighting evils
they will accomplish much more than if
those of one section find evils only in an
other section.
