been so frequent in Paris reached cli-
max when a shop assistant, named Alex
ander, laid a wager Of 800 francs that
he would swallow yard of galvanized
iron stove piping The bet was accept.
ed aud witnesses and referee appoint
ed. Alexander and one Of the witnesses
went to buy the piping, which was
about one-sixteenth Of an inch in thick
ness and five inches in diameter. Alex
ander took il 10 whitesmith and re-
quested him TO file it down into a DOW
der in the presence Of the witness, who
subsequently carried it to cafe in the
Rue de la Chapelle, where the operation
of swallowing the filings was carried
out. Quite % persons attended as spec
tators Alexander divided the filings
into five portions, placed them in five
glasses of beer and tossed them off at
intervals of ten minutes. He played
cards during the process Of drinking,
and when the last glass of beer and its
metallic addition had been consumed
the bet was declared won and the 500
francs handed over TO him. He stated
afterward that he felt no inconvenience
whatever from the feat. Paris Letter.

Alien said: According to the logic of this
modern Napoleon, when you are carrying

that burden is to increase it. Laughter

WAITING FOR THE PEOPLES PARTY.
Silver Convention Adopts Policy of Pro-
crastination for Purpose.

crastination for Purpose.
Procrastination was the pronounced
feature of the Silver convention. 1t was
anything to kill time from start to finish.
and practically no business of importance
was transacted. But it developed beyond
e peradventure that the delegates with
very few exceptions are for Bryan and
.;ewall and there is little doubt that they
will be nominated. Every time their
names were mentioned there was an out
burst of applause. and their names were
mentioned frequently.
The delay was for purpose. 1t was en-
ginecred by the leaders, and about the
only opposition TO the delay came from
Kansas. Both Baker, of California. and
81. John, of New York, explained in
speeches to the convention that to adopt
a platform would be an insult to the Peo-
pies party convention In order 70 unite
the free silver forces they said it was
necessary to give the Peoples rarty q
chance to appoint conference committee
to confer with the one appointed by the
Silver convention.
Kansas opposed this and wanted 10 90
ahead and finish the work and adjourn.
But Kansas failed The delegates agreed
that nothing should be done until after
the conference, and the dag was given
over to spcech-rnaking and anything else
that could be used to kill time. Turner, of
Kansas, said that the platform committee
was ready TO report and demanded that
a.. the report be received and acted upon
