The term "wharf rat" is we'll enough
known to apply to a variety of hu.
man beings who haunt the water
fronts, but seldom does one hear Of
such an exempli6cation of the in.
stincts Of rat 40 occurred in New
York. Two detectives were hunting
for a man named Charles Haas,
who was wanted for stealing a boat.
They found him seated OH q dock.
When policeman Kear reached an
adjoining dock the thief dived into
the river and swan under the dock.
The officer dived after him. Haas
sprang from pile to pile until he
reached the opening of = sewer.
He plunged into the pipe and con-
tinued for half q block. The off,
Ger went into the sewer, too. He
finally brought the fugitive to a halt
by drawing . revolver and threaten
ing to shoot if be did not stop.
The pipe was 30 small that neither
man could turn around, 80 the de-
tective backed out slowly, followed
by the thief, keeping tho prisoner
covered by his revolver all the time.
The two men presented q sorry
sight when they emerged into open
day.-Buffalo Express.

Collins Made OF Glass Now.

Glass collins are now being made.
Glass tombstones have long been
used in Pittsburg, Pa, and that
city takes the credit for first intro
ducing the use of glass collins.
The use of glass collins, among
other advantages, will relieve the
fears of those who dread being
buried alive. They okviate the ne
cessity for haste in Disposing of
the dead. When closed they are
impenetrable, while the face and
form of the dead are always visible
to the watchers.
Under ground glass will last long
er than any material and will pre-
serve bodies for centuries. It stays
the process of decay, for neither
water, air nor earth can penetrate
it. Nothing can escape from it.
It is indestructible, except by in
tense heat. Glass collins can be
made as cheaply as any other ithic
or metallic material. The main
part of the glass casket is cast in
one piece, one and half or two
inches thick. The lid is cast with
q tongue on the under side, which
hts into a groove, and after the
body has been placed within the
interstices are closed with water
proof cement, and effectually m ade
alright. ABORTION of the lid being
of clear glass, the face Of the dead
is visible.
Glass collins are much cheaper
than wooden or metallic ones.
They can be made as ornamental, if
cast in molds, as those made of any
other materials. From a hygienic
standpoint they are much superior.

Song Of Silver.
BY JAMES B, GOODE

~ Ed n. UOOO6s
Tell US not in mournful numbers,
life is but an idle dream; for we
see that wealth controls US and we
are not what we seem. Rights,
that once our statutes gave us, now
no longer can we claim; for the
shylock buys conventions and the
candidates doth name. What are
we that we should grumble, DER
the platform that be writes; tits
the task of common people, to be-
lieve what he indites. Cringe, ye
slaves, for Wall street shylocks
have the 6. o. p. in hand; you
must vote for Bill Mckinley and
for gold, alone, must stand.
All, but listen to the murmur, of
the thunder DER the plains; as the
people rise in anger, to protest
against such claims. "Down with
tyrant gold," they're shouting, tout
upon those blatant knaves: We are
freemen, and, by thunder, none can
sell us out as slaves. We're for sill.
yer and for freedom and our clans
are brave and true; We can beat
that Bill Mckinley and his Wall
street masters, too" Silver! Sill
yer! shouts the chorus from the
hill-tops far away, while the mill
ions in the valleys, sing its praises
every day.
Silver will increase our wages, it
will give Us work each day; for
twill thwart tho mighty shylock
and will take his mighty power
away. Rising prices for our pro-
ducts, business for our idle men
all will come to bless the nation.
when silver's money once again.
Plenty will return to millions and
prosperity will reign in the home of
every workman when silver's money
once again. When the ides of next
November, give to US the chance to
win, you can bet your bottom dol.
lar, silver will be money then.

HAD SWALLOWED a LIzzARD


James Densmore, in Sullivan
county, N. Y, has recently Astound
ed that section Of country By mar
velous feats in the eating and swal
lowing line. All Sullivan county
people, particularly those who ar
1aborers, to which class Densmort
belongs, arc remsfkable for theil
enormous appetites. He thought
nothing of eating sixteen pounds Of
beef with "pertaters and fixin' 8, I" q,
he called them, and washing i,
down with Eve or six huge bowls
of coffee.
"Why don't you cook something?''
he would say to his wife after eat
ing everything in sight.
At last Densmore, who had felt q
moving" in his stomach, consulted
q doctor. After sundry taps, pokes
in the ribs and questioning, the
doctor said: "My good man, it il
my belief that you have q lizard in
your stomach. Now, Lizards can 7
stand salt, so you eat nothing but
salt meat and drink as little water az
possible and then come to me, when
III see what is best to be done."
At the end Of q week Densmore,
still suffering, returned to the doc
tor, who now told him to lie down
somewhere By q gurgling stream
with his mouth wide open. He did
so, and presently a nine-inch lizard
ran out. The sight was too much
for the weakened man, and, with
his mouth still open, he tainted
dead away.
The lizard, having satisfied its
thirst and bathed in the cool, rum
ming waters, started up the bank
again. Seeing the mans mouth
open it started to return to its un-
natural home. Alas for tie hopes!
The water it had taken had made it
so much bigger that it was unable
to get in again, and in its struggles
soon brought the unconscious man
to hissenses. With q yell he leaped
to his feet, siezed the reptile by the
tail and beat it's head against q tree
until life was extinct. How the
lizard got into Densmore's stomach
is the mystery. As he worked in
The pumping station, it might have
seen his mouth open while he was
asleep after dinner time, and attract
I'd by the smell Of the food just
eaten, crawled down. At any rate
The lizard is now stuffed and can
be seen in Densmore's parlor. This
story is vouched for by the family
ohysician.-New York World,

Tribute to Democracy.


orator of the South, in his speect
before the Chicago convention after
taking the chair, paid this eloquent
tribute to Democracy:
The birth of the Democratic party
was coeval with the birth Of thu
sovereignty of the people. It car
never be destroyed until the Decla.
ration of American Independence
is forgotten and that sovereignty il
crushed out. Great applsus
l am happy, gentlemen, to know
that as the majority in this conven-
ton is not personal, neither in any
sense is it sectional. It belongs in
sunrise in MARYLAND and spreads
to shutdown in Louisiana and Texas.
I'll stretches in one unbroken column
across the continent from the At
lantic shore of the Old Dominion
and Georgia, and spreads its silvery
wave over golden California. ZAP
plause. It sends forth pioneers
from Plymouth Rock and waves
over golden wheat fields of the
Dakotas. It has it's strong heads
in Alabama and Mississippi, and
its outposts in Minnesota, Florida
and Oregon. Applause. It sticks
like q tarheel [Applause] down in
the Old North State and writes is
to l on the saddlebags of the Ar
kansas travellers. Loud applause. !
1t pours down in rivulets from the
mountains of West Virginia, and
makes great lake in New Mexico,
Wyoming, Idaho, Utah, Nevada,
Montana and Colorado. It stands
guard around the National Capitol
in the District of Columbia Gcheers1
and it camps on the frontiers Of
Oklahoma. It sweeps like a prairie
fire over Iowa and Kansas, and puts
up a red light on the confines of
Nebraska. It marshals its massive
battillaons in Ohio, Indiana, Illinois
and Missouri. Last, but far from
least, when I see this grand array
and think of the British gold stand
ard that was recently unfurled over
the ruins of Republican promises at
st. Louis, think, too, Of the battle
of New Orleans, of which it is said
There stood John Bull in martial ponp.
But there was old Kentucky.
Applause.
Brethren of the East, there is no
South, there is no North, there is no
East or West in this uprising Of the
people for American emancipation
from the conspiracy of European
kings, led on by Great Britain, which |
seeks to destroy half the money of
the world, and make American |
manufacturers, merchants, farmers
and mechanics mere hewers Of wood |
and drawers of water.
