Brigand and Statesman

The death of the famous Malay
brigand Tiburzi closes memorable
criminal career. For 40 years lib
urzi had been brigand. He had
commanded several bands, all of
which had been at one time or an-
other destroyed, but he himself had
escaped. Twice he was seized and
twice he escaped under dramatic
circumstances. In the last few years
the police and the military had
waged veritable war against him
in the Viterbo district. A regiment
of infantry and 100 caribinieri track
ed him into the woods, fought sew
eral encounters with him, aud
wounded him. Still they failed to
seize him, and as they had lost an
officer and II soldiers, they decided
to let him alone. BY way OF COM
pensation they arrested hundreds Of
persons accused of favoring and aid
ing him and them sent to Jail. Then
they quilted the district, aud it was
reported Tiburzi had disappeared
On the contrary he remained behind
and commenced veritabe rule of
the entire countryside. He imposed
taxes on the population, and in re-
turn guaranteed public order. Every
one paid willingly, and there were
no longer robberies or crimes Of any
kind. Tiburzi constituted himself
the local police force. When the
elections Of 1898 arrived Tlburzi
took over the political arrangements
OF the district. In fact, he became
the Grand Elector He brought
out his candidate, instructed all his
subjects to vote for him, and the re-
suit was magnificent victory. In
the last few months he frequently
paid visits to Rome, Florence, Paris,
and other cities for pleasure. The
police who killed him only owed
their triumph to the treachery of
one OF his bandit companions.-Er

The Effect of Moonlight.

Many people suppose that moon
light possesses great potency and
has a wonderful influence on or
over animate and inanimate things
on our planet. Such persons should
remember that moonlight is only
reflected sunlight, aud that the
quality and quantity of the light
thus reflected is not what is general
ly imagined. La fact, it is truth
which has often been demonstrated
by the speculative astronomers
that it would take 6l8, 900 full moons
to afford an amount of light equal
to that emitted by the sun; and,
furthermore, there is only sky space
for $4,000 such discs. Some heat
comes from moonlight, but it is in
quantities so small that it cannot be
measured by ordinary instruments,
Flammerion says that the amount
Of heat emitted by a full moon while
at the zenith cannot be more than
one eighty-thousandth of the
amount that the sun supplies when
standing on the meridian on a
favorable day in July.

Reindeer in Alaska.s

The experiment of introducing
reindeer in Alaska has been COM
plete success. The animals are in
creasing at the rate of go per cent. a
year and will soon supply the natives
with excellent and abundant food in
place OF the now almost exterminated
seal and other wild animals, besides
serving other purposes at once prac-
tically useful and directly civilising.

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.

Manager Bunnell of the Grand opera house has secured for that house next Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and the regular Friday and Saturday matinees the jolly rollicking comedy, "Dr. Bill" from the Garden theater, New York, which will be presented by the same clever company that has been identified with its success since it left that popular little play house in the Me tropolis. ''Dr Bilp' tells the story of a gay young London physician who de- sires to settle down to the enjoyment of connubial felicity and is opposed by an ambitious father-in-law. It is all laughter.
 Miss Jane Coombs in Bleak House" drew a large audience at the Grand opera house last night. The perform ance will be repeated this afternoon and evening.
 10 those who have seen Miss Coombs in her varied and ever wonderful de- lineations of character, all other ar lists must fail to express in a satisfac- tory manner any idea of the imaginary beings whose peculiarities she portrays. The sweet and merry laugh, the too painfully natural sigh, quick changes of expression, each more attractive and >wondrous than the last, the complete forgetfulness of self during the beauti- full enunciation of words that seem to be the natural expression of the thoughts of her heart and worthy only of her make.
 The supporting company is a good one and MT. s. Leslie Gorsin is deserving of great praise for his admirable work as Tulkinghow.

NATURAL FAT.
Getting Eat is Only a Question of
 Eating Proper Food.


 Thin people who want to get fat should eat proper food and digest it.
 That is the only natural way.
 The trouble with most thin people is that they suffer from indigestion.
 They don't digest their food. They don't get enough nourishment. They are slowly being starved. They are poisoned by the products of fermented and putrid food.
 Shaker Digestive Cordial, gentle, natural, vegetable digestive, attacks the food in your stomach just like the digestive juices and turns it into health- ful nourishment. It helps your stom- ach naturally. It makes thin dyspep- tics fat It makes poisonous blood pure. It tones up and cures the stom ach.
 Nothing will cure indigestion like Shaker Digestive Cordial because nothing else goes so naturally about it. This is why it has been so successful in relieving nausea, vomiting, dizzi- ness, weakness. bad taste, fever, fiatu- lence, constipation, loss of appetite headache, neuralgia, rheumatism, etc, by curing the disorder which causes the symptoms.
 A few doses will prove its value, but you won't get fat on one bottle.
 All druggists. Ten cents for trial bottle.

OFFICIAL CALL MAILED
NATIONAL DEMOCRATS GETTING
DOWN TO BUSINESS.
Conventions to Select DeIegate Al
ready Called in Many States-Pops

Business at the National Democratic

pose of eIecting delegates to the national
convention. So far as reported the follow
ing calls for conventions have been issued:
Vermont, Aug. IS; Maine, Aug. 20; Texas,

AT THE POsTOFFICE.
One Man "knOws Concrete" but Lets
other Do His Thinking.

Others Do His Thinking.
The attention of everyone who has passed
the postofice corner during the last week
has been attracted by a crowd of from
thirty to a hundred men Of all colors and
conditions. They are listening to red-hot
arguments on the currency question. They
usually gather about 9 o'clock In the morn
ing and the crowd varies in size as the
day wears on. but the arguments continue
until 9 or 10 o'clock at night. There is no
lack of "argufers' on either side Of the
question. Citizen Dreythaler is in his ele-
ment and never tires of giving the crowd
the benefit of his wide reading and informa-
! ton. 1t is a thoroughly good-natured
crowd and delights in "guying" the orators
who undertake to entertain it.
Yesterday a tall, unkempt individual with
a weak chin and ~tireless tongue was telling
the crowd his troubles I'VE workingmen,"
he said, have for years been ground down
by the money power, until"
bet fo' dollars dat mans wife keeps a
boardin' house!" interrupted a negro stand

Yesterday one of the silver howlers
| tackled a colored brother who Is employed
by one of the paving companies. :.
Il don know nothin' about this thing
he replied. Il dom know nothin' but con-

Oars Leon Bailey an Sniff Myahs an

And thus the argument goes back and
forth all day and into the nigat Sometimes
the whole crowd is gathered about two
frey disputants and anon it is split up into
two or three groups with a warm dispute
in progress in the center OF each. The
police have made no effort TO disperse the
| crowds and are not likely to so long as they
are g-ood-humored and do not interrupt
traffic.

Drinking Water Danger.

Every daily paper in this city during the
past few days has had something TO say
about the lack of good drinking water and
the spread of typhoid fever. This spread
Of typhoid fever is not because there is
not good water to be had. 1t Is because
the people have not tried the famous Lindo
Water distilled by the Polar Ice Company,
of this city. There is plenty of good Lindo
Water and the price Is very moderate-so
cheap that the average citizens could af-
ford to battle in II.
The Board Of Health wants steps taken
to hurry the completion of the new filter
beds for the city water works. The board
thinks the water company is delaying mat
ters and are not going on with the pro-
posed filters. Whether this is true or not
the fact is that the people are in the
habit Of drinking water every day-and
they cannot very well wait for the COM
pletion of these filters. What the people
want is pure water. Here is a testimonial
from a prominent physician:
The sample of Undo Water placed at
my disposal has proven palatable to the
taste and has maintained it's purity TO the
end. though not kept in a cooler 1 believe
that il can be recommended for use as a
beverage, as most of our water is unsafe
without previous boiling. 1t is especially
so during summer-when so much water
is taken, and where decomposition is ac-
tive-that such a water may go far to pre-
vent disturbances of the alimentary tract
and even serious illness.
