A Fakir's uity.

Enormous business has been done lately at French fairs by man who professed to sell rat powder that was perfectly harmless and that struck rats dead on the spot. In order to convince the slSeptical, the man, first of all, pow dered a slice of bread with the stuff, and ate piece of it himself. Then he put the remainder under glass case, in which rat was kept in captivity. The rat went to eat the bread and instant ly fell dead. At five pence box the powder went off like hot rolls, and the lucky proprietor of the specific was in fair way to make fortune But the police, who in France are very active in protecting the people from fraud looked into the matter and found that the powder was nothing but ordinary sugar. They also discovered that tbo case was connected with a powerful electric battery, and the moment tbc rat touched the bread the current ,y,s turned on, and it was thus his death was brought about. The man was ar. rested at the fair of Albi, and he has been sentenced to fifteen days impris. pameut.

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least que dreaded disease that science has heen able to cure in all its stages. and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires con stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting di- rcctly upon the blood and mucous sur faces of the system, thereby destroy ing the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by build- ing up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The pro prietors have SO much faith in its cur ative powers that they offer One Hun dred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

DESERVED HONORS.
Decorations of Royalty Which Have Been
 Fairly Won.

luriy Non
 There are princes and princesses who wear among their decorations med als for saving life at the risk of their own, medals that have not been grant ed by way of mere compliment, says the New York Mercury, but which have been honestly and honorably earned. Other monarchs whose courage and presence of mind entitle them to wear this highly-prized badge arc prevented from so doing by reason of the fact that it falls within their own province to confer it, and they do not wish to bestow it upon themselves.
 A royal lady decorated with this medal is Dowager Queen Pia of Portugal, who is as magnificent 8 swimmer as the queen regent of Spain or Princess Helen of Orleans. Queen Pia, while fully dressed, swan out into the sea at La Granja some years ago and rescued two children whose boat had been capsizcd by heavy sea.
 Her son, the present king of Portu' gal, ought by rights to wear one of these medals as well, having last year personally intervcned in struggle be- tween two men and saved the life of the weaker of the two, in addition to hold- ing the wouldbc murderer until assist ance could be procured.
 King Oscar of Sweden wears life, saving medal, granted him before he ascended the throne by Emperor Ma poleon III. He has the right to wear several medals of this sort, for the act of courage thus recognized by the French ruler is by no means the only service to humanity rendered by the royal Anak
 The feat which won him the medal was the stopping, on the Corniche road, of pair of runaway horses which were on the point of precipitating them selves, along with the carriage and its occupants, over a precipicc upon the rocks many hundred feet below.
 At another time he plunged into the water to save boy from drowning at Nice; and while serving in the Swedish navy he sprang overheard one very squally night to save sailor who had fallen into the sea.
 His son, Prince Oscar, wears Swed- ish medal for saving the life of drown. ing man whose boat had been capsized by sudden puff in the port of Karls. krona.
 Almost identically the same feat was performed two years ago by the gigan- tic Prince George of Greece, who dived from the quarterback of man-of.war anchored in the Bay of PirGus to rescue a sailor. He has likewise been specially decorated by the emperor of Russia for preserving the tsarovitz from death in Japan

FRIGHTENED THE HOODLUMS.
snowballing Gang In a Cross Street De-
 feated by Strategy.


 That was rather neat way a friend of mine got the better of hoodlum gang of snowballers one day recently, said Hornby at the club, according to the New York Sun. There were about fifty boys of various sizes and ages, most of them above ten years, and they had taken complete possession of a block on one of the cross streets up town. Every man who came into that street was snowballed out of it, and the drivers and their horses were mer. cilessly pelted. Whenever policeman would come in sight lookouts would notify the gang and they would move to another block and the reign of ter TOT would begin there. If man de- cided to chase one part of the gang the others would move up close beh;nd him and make the attack so terrific that is nine cases out of ten he would be glad to flee for his safety.
 This friend of mine happened along when such a bombardmcnt was going on, and he saw a man wild with rage escape with hat gene and clothes be- spattered from head to foot. Now it was necessary for my friend to go into that street to serve legal paper. He saw the householders crowding to their windows and enjoying the sport almost as much as the boys, and he knew that when his turn came not only must he run the gauntlet of terrific fire, but he must be subjected to the ridicule and laughter of the spectators. He shut his lips tight and went in. He had been particular to notice heap of pretty clean snow about one hundred feet from where the attack would be- gin. His hat was soon knocked off and the snowballs were pounding him on the bare head and on his clothes. He made for that heap of clean snow as steadily as he could, and just as he reached it and just as ball struck hlm on the head near one of his ears he threw up his hands and fell into that snow as if he had been knocked uncon- scious.
 ''He had planned this from the start There were cries from the spectators, and shouts that the man had been killed. Instantly every one of those street Arabs fled, and in the twinlsing of an eye not one was to be seen. It was an easy matter for my friend to pull himself together again, and then he went on anInolested."

WATSON'S APPEAL.
Populists Urged to Take q Stand
Against Sewall.
DOES NOT FAVOR DEMOCRATIC FUSION
Meeting Of National Democratic Clubs at
st. Louis Mckinley and Hobart Bicycle
Clubs--COl0radO Teller Republicans
Remove the Mckinley Chairman.

New YORK, Aug. ia morning
paper publishes signed statement,
written by 7. E. Watson, the populist
nominee for vice president Of the
United States. After felicitating him
self and the populist party upon the
fact that the populists have not been
absorbed by the democrats, he says:
In Florida the St. Louis ticket was indorsed;
also In Georgia. Louisiana, Missouri and Texas,
In Nebraska, itself the home Of Mr. Bryan, the
populists have thus far demanded Watson as
Bryan's running mate In Kansas the lead
ers' have apparently traded of the cleo
toral vote to Sewall In return for
the state house officers. 1t remains to
be seen whether the people Of Kansas
will ratfy the trade. In Iowa,
Gen. Weayer's state, the populists declined
fusion offers and put out straight Bryan and
Watson ticket Indiana, Wyoming and Wis
cousin have done likewise. As matter Of
fact the great fusion movement has thus far
carried but four states, while straight popu-
list carried 10. and is fighting Its opponents to
standstill In the others.
Mr.. Watson devotes the remainder
Of his statement TO an appeal for pop
ulists to stand by him and repudiate
Sewal. He declares he will campaign
in the west.
