IT BEATS THE RECORD.

The speed Of . Mans Heart PulsatiouA
Puzales the Doctors.
William Wiggips, cook, S5 yearA
old, who is now at the City hospital,
st. Louis, has q heart that Is o record
breaker. The average heart. as is
known. beats at the rate of about 70
pulsatioDs per minute, while that OF
Virgins amuses itself by sprinting
along at she speed Of 2ls beats each GO
seconds.
And yet he does not die, and therein
lies the popularity Of his case. Other
hearts have been known to take sprint
ing spells, but when they have reached
speed of about $50 pulsations to the
minute they have usually gotten tired
and have stopped indefinitely. Not SO
with Wiggins. After speedy spell his
heart usually stops completely for a
short period. 1t has always started
again.
Virgins heart has been affected with
this strange trouble for about two years,
without apparent cause. During an at
tack he suffers intensely, but at other
times is free from pain. He is improv-
ing under treatment. Louis Repub-

been given thorough, complete and con-
scientious trial. When finally the Maria
gansett Company's fender was attached to
the cars, 1t seemed to be the most practical
of all that had been offered. 1t was given
trial covering period Of several months,
and finally was decided to be the best that
lad been tried.
Thirty mine cities and towns have
adopted this fender.
The annoyance to cyclists caused
by yelping swapping dogs can be
easily obviated. In Germany the riders
carry with them small flask filed with
ammonia. To the neck of the bottle IL
fastened q rubber or other squirter, and Q
few drops of the fluid thus directed
against the nose Of barking dog induces
him to turn tail and flee instantly. There
is absolutely no injury to the brute, but
1t is an effectual quietus.
"
1t looks to me- as though the real Demo-
Gratis OF the city proposed to have weed
ing out Of uncertain issues, and will put
men on their ticket who are not only well
known to the community, but are respected
for the acknowledged honesty of their
opinion.
In conversation with a member of the
new Democratic City Committee, which
meets on the first Wednesday In June for
organization, was told that there was no
doubt about the election of Chairman
Affiick, sna that the rank and file. of the
party considered his election compli-
ment due to laborious and meritorious
work. The reelection of William Far
rell as Treasurer is also confidently ex-
pected, and is regarded as another wise
selection.
~ am convinced" said my informant,
"from the makeup of the new committee,
that the interests of the Democratic party
as whole will be taken care. e.Iof; each
member is strong and positive, and accepts
the labor Of the position for the good of
the cause. Election day Democrats, there
for revenue only, who were members of
the old committee, have been quietly
relegated to that obscurity from which no
power on earth could save them, and
where, SO far as the Democratic party is
copcerned, they will remain for ever.
The new committee will enter upon its
career with the confidence and support of
. united party, and 1t 10 safe to say that
the desire and kwork of each will be to
maintain that unity"

THE BRADFORD MANUSCRIPT.

The so-called "MayHower log" which
was formerly turned over to the State OF

MINORS AND CIGARETTES.

The ladies of the Pswtucket Womsn's
Christian Temperancs Union are desirous
of seeing the law restricting the sale and
use OF cigarettes enforced In this city.
Since such . law IL on the statute books
1t, of course, ought to be complied with.
Its enforcement to the letter would, we
think, be rather difficult matter 80 far as
the use OF the cigarette is concerned, but,
nevertheless, II being on the books for en-
forcement, 1t ought to be operative.
A certain Western governor holds that
the parent is the proper person to forbid
the child the use OF cigarettes, and perhaps
he Is right. The State has Its hands full
In looking after offenders Of more years.
The small boy who inhales the smoke of q
cigarette Is not criminal after all. He
may be doing that which is not good for
his health, but it is for the parent to say
that, not the law. 1t is the proper func-
tion of the law to say. that such goods
shall not be sold to minors, and on this
point we have no quarrel with the legal
machinery. Let the law see that dealers
do not sell the things to minors and let
the parents spank the minors who desire
to use them.

But the real summer charm for Rhode
