Eccentricities of Francis Key Dunlop, of
 Nnrr,innto., Hpbn Eaind RncnntIu

Ecceptricities of Francis Key Dunlop, of
 Washington, Who Died Recently.
 Students of mental character have an interesting study in the. character of Francis Key Dunlop, who died in Wash ington recently, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. MT. Dunlop was known to everyone who has spent much time in Washington during the last third of a century. At college he was an athlete and developed himself physically to a remarkable degree. He received severe tall while still at col lege, and this resulted in brain trouble that made him the most eccentric man in Washington in dress. Belonging to one of the oldest and richest families in Washington, he was supported with an abundant income. The effort for physical development he had made in college caused an impression on his mind which resulted in his padding his shoul- ders to tremendous degree. With this eccentricity he also had a ten dency to large-sized collars and cuffs the cuffs always being made to order and twice the size ordinarily worn by men. His neck he painted red and h1s face was coated with white, which gave him ghastly appearance. This mode of attire Dunlop, continued to the day of hls death, hissclcthessbe ing made by then fashionable tailor here. During his earlier years he was a constant attendant at theaters and at social events, for he never stood Ion any formality," and would go to recep- tions without invitation, his wcll-known family always guaranteeing a kindly reception for him in the coterie with which he was familiar. But notwith- standing these eccentricities, MT. Dun lop is pronounced. by men who knew him most intimately to have been one of the soundest and most discerning literary critics of his day. He left an immense library, buying and reading every new book of any note. Only couple of weeks ago he visited the capi- tol building for the last time,. He was nearly seventy years of age, and despite the enormously padded shoulders and arms walked feebly. He was the most unique eccentric character that Wash ington has ever known. ;

RICH BOSTON THIEVES.


Aieptomantacs Who Are Welcome In Hub
 Stores.
 ''What do you do with kleptomani- acs?" was the question recently put to the proprietor of large shop.
 ''We send them bills for what they take when we know them. If they are strangers, we act according to circum- stances.
 "A few days ago lady was in the shop with her daughter-a beautiful little girl of twelve years.
 1.-The girl was seen slipping a roll of costly ribbon into her satchel. We dignant.
 ''She opened the satchel to convince us that we were mistaken, when 1t was found to contain three lace handker- chiefs, two pairs of gloves and the rib bon.
 ''Well, we took the things back and said nothing. We can't afford to in- jure our trade by making enemies among our rich customers"
 You were speaking of sending out bills for stolen goods" asked writer for the Boston Globe; ''are they ever paid?" .a....
 Always, where the person is klep- tomaniac. I have known of shops which kept regular list of kleptonani- acs. Whenever they lost anything they sent bills to all of them. As they all settled for the stolen goods, you can imagine that the business was a profit able one, can't you?'

 The Last Man on Earth Will Be Smaller
 Than q Fly.
 The surface of the earth is slowly but surely diminishing, says the scientists.
 All the landed portion will be sub merged and the last man will be drowned.
 The ice is gradually accumu7 1g at the north pole and slowly melting away at the south. Eventually the earth's center of gravity will suddenly change, and the last man will be crushed by the rush of movables that will quickly glide over its surface.
 There is retarding medium in space causing gradual loss in velocity in all of the planets. The earth. when her revolutions finally cease, will be drawn nearer and nearer to the sun until the last man will be literally roasted off the face of the earth.
 Beginning with the year 5000 A. D. humanity will commence to retrograde, and by the end of the year 1000, ,0OO man will be no larger and have no more in telligence than plant louse. In that event there will be no Hast man," re- marks the St. Louis Republic
 The suns fires will gradually burn out and the temperature cool; in conse- quence the earth's glacial zones will enlarge, driving shivering humanity toward the equator. At last the habi t. able space will lessen to nothing and overcrowded humanity will be frozen in heap.

THE NEW LIGHT.

THE NEW LlGHT.
 ~The discovery by Professor Roent- gen, the German scientist, of the possi- utilities of photography by the use of what is called the "cathode process" and ''X rays" has encouraged scien- tifc men all over the world to make similar experiments The new pro- cess is now called by one professor 'tradiography, and some of the re- suits reported are surprising.
 One professor in Columbian college, New York city, kept mouse under water for fifteen minutes and then laid the body aside for nearly two hours. He then prepared to photograph the interior of the animal, but was startled by the return of life, and the mouse was soon alive and full of activity. Several hands have been photographed with the result that negatives showing the finger bones were secured. Five small shot have been located in the body of rat, and coin in leather purses have been photographed. A Vienna professor, by the use of the so- called Roentgen light, has located a fbullet in a mans hand and also de- tected the malformation of the bones in a girls foot. MT. Thomas A. Ed ison has already done some eXperi menting with the new light and has already devised simpler apparatus than the one used by Roentgen. MT Edison gives all credit to the German professor for announcing his discov- cry and modestly admits that what others are doing is merely acting upon the information given. The inventor Of the photograph is now preparing to photograph, if possible, a mans brains through the skull. If there is any thing practicable in the use of the pro- duction Edison will bring it out. In 8. dispatch from Orange, N. J., con- eerning the wizards experiments, it was stated: E
 In another experiment today he caused the rays to pass through a piece of steel one-half inch thick He also found that the mysterious rays were capable of penetrating bit of cardboard, piece of celluloid and a half-inch strip of steel combined, leav- ing the plate uniformly black. Had the rays not penetrated the steel the plate would naturally have been black only in the place where the steel was not interposed MT. Edison was asked if there would be any danger of the subjects suffering any physical injury from the rays which would necessarily ibe forced through his head, and he re- piled nn.a The subject will be in no danger whatever, as there is no am- perage in the rays in the tube. and it is the amperage that works the harm
 The discovery of the German pro- fesor was only made public about a fortnight ago, and since then scientific men everywhere have been at work There is no estimating at this time the possible usefulness of the new discov- cry. It may become as wonderful an agent as electricity, all the uses of which have not been revealed.

 We cannot help but to admire the way in which the Phoenix Steam Cleaning and Dye works have arranged in the way of putting in their steam cleaner, etc., at their works, as it is such a fine addition to the many in dustries in Phoenix. We were there today and saw the working of the same and are fully satisfied that it will be great success and will be such an advantage to our citizens and visitors, as there now will be no need of anyone wearing dirty or spotted clothes any longer. They also do fine merchant tailoring business and we are fully sat- isfied they can please the most fas- tidious person. Call at their office and works, 23 West Adams street, Phoenix.
 If we could trace dyspepsia to it's source it would lead back to the kitch- en. In fact, the secret of good health is good cooking If well cooked, foods are partially digested; if poorly cooked they are less digestible than in their raw state. If you are a victim of faulty cooking;' that is, if you suffer from dyspepsia, the rational cure must be looked for in an artifcially digested food, and a food which will at the same 'time aid the digestion of other foods Such a preparation virtually rests the tired digestive organs, thereby re- storing them to their natural strength
 The Digestive Cordial, as prepared 'by the Shakers of Mount Lebanon, is just such preparation, and a single 10 cent bottle will convince you of it's value. If your druggist doesn't keep

TOM WAS FRIGHTENED.

But He Was Too Brave to Tell Little
Dot of His Fears.
Tom lived on the bank of the river.
His father had boat in which he could
go down to fish. Sometimes he would
take Tom with him and let him row.
Tom had little sister whom they
called Dot because she was SO small
for her age). One day Toms mother
asked if he would take care of Dot while
she went to the city. Tom was very
fond of his little sister, and he promised
to take good care of her. And this is
the way he did it.
Tom thought it would be nice to take
Dot down to the river and show her
papa's boat. The boat was pulled part
ly on shore, while the remainder was in
the water.
Tom knew if he and Dot got into the
boat they could get good motion by his
