! The peculiar case Of q man thinking
himself to death came under the notice
Of coroner's jury in London recently.
A Dr. Richardson sustained injuries by
a fall from his bicycle . short time ago,
but none Of serious nature, SO far as
could be determined. Under the care of
a brother physician he was progressing
favorably and seemed on the way to a
speedy recovery. But suddenly one day
he said TO the doctor, AZ know am
going to die of tetanus' As there was
10 indication Of that disease there was
no attempt to disabuse his mind Of the
idea, but he insisted on being treated
with antitoxin. In few days tetanus
had developed, and in a short time DIR.
Richardson died from the effects Of this
terrible disease.

WILL TYPEWRIrE CHINESE.


An Ingenious Machine Invented by q Mis-
s!onary st Tung Chow.
The Rev. Mr. Sheffield, Presbyteri-
an missionary at Tung Chow, has in
vented Chinese typewriter which is
said to bo very remarkable machine
and is exciting great deal Of COM
ment over there. He made the model
himself, but sent the parts to factory
at Hartford. where they were made in
metal and put together. 1t turns out to
be great success and will relieve both
the foreigners and the native Chinese
from the necessity of using paint brush
and pot of ink in conducting their
correspondence.
AS near as can be understood from the
description published in the Chirese pa
pers, the characters, about 1000 in
number, are on the edges Of wheels
about foot in diameter. 1t requires 90
or 30 wheels to carry all the letters,
and the operator must strike two keys
to make an impression. The first key
turns the wheel and the second stops it
at the letter wanted, which is brought
down upon the paper by an ingenious
device. Although the machine is COM
plicatcd, it shows remarkable degree
Of ingenuity and skill, and DR.. Sheffield
hopes to make many improvements in
the way of simplicity.
The difficulty of his task and the
wonder of his invention may be recog
nized when it is known that there are
$4,000 characters in the Chinese Ian
guage, each one Of them representing a
distinct word. There are between 1000
and 5000 in common use, which he hal
selected and placed upon his typewriter.
The newspaper vocabulary of China in
wolves fully that number Of characters,
but the peasants do not make use of
more than 500 characters. Chicago

A BABY WONDER.
At the Age Of Three Months She Talks
Like "a Grown Person.

At the Age of Three Months She Talks
Like "a Grown Person.
Few will believe it possible for a
3-months-old child to talk. However,
such is the case, and any one can verify
the truthfulness of this statement with
very little trouble.
The parents of the child are Richard
and frankie Cleveland, colored, living
ut II Short street, Nashville, and the
child has been talking since it was
week old. Hundreds have visited the
little wonder and have left the house
completely mystified at what they have
seen and heard.
The child is girl and differs only
from other babies III that it can talk
plainly and be understood as distinctly
as grown person. The voice, Of course,
is naturally weak, but has none of the
baby prattle about it. In addition to the
child's talking propensities it seems t,
be possessed of superior intelligence and
gives voice to utterances most astound-
ing, coming as they do from one SO
young Nashville Banner.

Then Deputy Marshal Sterling, acting

from one direction just as the man they
wanted approached from the other.
Shortly after Cussuzzello was behind the
bars in the Portland police station. When
arrested the revolver was not in his

it away. Cugsuzzellc is small man,
apparently about So years old. He does
not talk English.
After being brought to the station,
Cussuzzello made statement through
an interpreter to the effect that Mastriani
had tantalized and prosecuted him.
Oussuzzello claimed that after the shoot

some one in the crowd. AS Mastriani is

ADORE STREET FRACAs.
Uproar Follows an Alleged Assault on an
Armenian Woman.

A deadly feud originated Saturday af-
ternoon between the Italians on one side
and the Greeks and Arabians on the
other. According to the story told the
PRESS reporter by an intelligent Greek
some of the Italians who live on Fore
street between Pearl and Franklin
street are pretty hard lot and run that
section of the street to suit themselves.
No woman from the Greek or Arabian
quarter can pass through this part of
the street without being insulted and
time and again they have been openly
assaulted and maltreated.
Saturday afternoon just before the
shooting scrape tooK place Mrs. Hando-
my, the wife of very intelligent Arabian
who keeps little store on the corner of
franklin and Fore streets, started out to
show some silk goods to a customer
She was obliged TO PASS through group
of Italians and one oil them named
Nicola De Rosa, it is alleged, made an
indecent proposition to her which she
resented. Nicola had evidently been
i'm bibing some of the liquid which had
so much to do with the shooting scrape
and it is charged that he struck MIS-
Hondomy several times with his clinch-
ed fist. De Rosa was arrested little
later and taken to the police station.
The Greeks and Arabiaps were highly
excited by this occurrence and when told
that Mrs. Handomy must appear in the
Municipal court on Monday as witness
against De Rosa they protested vigorous
ly. The woman declared she was afraid
that this Italians might attempt to re-
venge their ,compatriot's arrest and said
she might expect.sto have knife stuck
in her back almost any minute if she
should give evidence against the italian.
De Rosa denied that he assaulted the
woman and still protesting his innocense
in broken English he was taken to the
olice station.
