TYPEWRITER MANUSCRIPT.
It's Presentation in the House Of Com
mons Causes a Sensation.
CFrom the Chicago Record)

From the Chicago Record)
A rule of the House OF Commons is
that oil petitions must he laid before
THAT body In written or photographic
form, but yesterday the Hon. Mr.. Gedge
submitted Il memorial from his constl-
tuents Of the town Of Walsall In type
written manuscript and created quite
q sensation. The Speaker declined to
receive Il, on the ground that 1t was a
violation of the rule and an infrige.
ment on the dignity of the house. He
commended that typewrtting was neither
manuscript nor photography, although
he admitted that the rule was adopt
ed before the invention of tpyewrlters.
MIR Gcdge gave notice that he would
take the earliest opportunity of moving
an amendment to the rule in order that
4 modern invention which is of great
convenience and n decided Improvement
over pen and ink manuscript might be
recognized.
The same rule applies to all of the
official departments of the British gov
eminent. All documnets that emanate
from the various branches of the min
istry are still written in long hand upon
the same kind of paper that has been in
use for several centuries, and Is manu-
featured expressly for them. No pri-
vate i..iividual Is allowed to use Of
fetal paper for any purpose whatever.
And quilts are still the ordinary instru-
inentS of literary labor in the cNecu-
tive departments, as they are in the I'M
lversities, the courts and the old-faSh-
Toned lawyers offices. We visited an
examination room in one of the colleges
at Oxford the other day where a lot Of
students had just finished the exami-
nation known as the "Great-go," which
comes Mt the end of the college year,
and upon the table in the center was n
large box filled with several hundred
carded by the students and were being
gathered UP by the janitors. 1t was
only recently that steel pens were al
lowed In the Bank of England
A typewriter communication on Of
fetal subjects would not be received in
some Of the British offices. nor In the
courts. but we in America are almost
as far behind the times. for 1t is only
since the Harrison administration
that typewriters have been used In the
State Department at Washington. Even
legations of the United State and the
diplomatic representatives of other gov
ernments at Washington have to be
written in long hand. Our ministers
abroad are still required to use the same
method in preparing their dispatches
to the government. Mr. Blaine was the
first man to introduce the typewriter,
and II he had remained In Office several
years longer that convenient instrument
would have been furnished to all the
foreign representatives Of the United
States.

A SINGULAR COMPACT

a dispatch from Reading, Pa. saws:
There are four old men in this civ who
assemble together every day: recall old
times. and discuss the probabilities of
the future, who constitute. in all like
IlhocA, the most remarkable quartet In
Eastern Pennsylvania. They are Dan

In Reading. who tell of the time when

EFFECTS OF THE STORM.
A $4,000 HOG.
Trom the Philadelphia Press.)


There is n hog in Missouri that has
cost one man $4,000. Yet the animal Is
not worth $40. The porker has been the
subject OF litigation between Noah
NinGsbeiTy and John thinner and will
cost the latter, the defendant, not less
THAN $1,000. The celebrated case of
Howard county was decided in the Ran
d0lph Circuit Court the other day. The
Jury awarded 4 verdict in favor of the
Plaintiff. k!nGSberry, for 81 damages,
which leaves thinner the defendant, to
Fay the costs, amount ing 40 over 81, 600
There are also two SANDER cases grow
ing out of the hog case. One of them
mas been compromises and the other
probably will be. The fun amount of the
costs in the three cases. including attor-
heys' fees. 10 be paid by the defendant,
VIII aggregate $1,000.
The hog case Is known on the docket
as that of Noah KlnSsberry versus
John thinner. The court history OF the
case would fill a book. and among the
lawyers 1t Is regarded as one OF the
most famdus"caSc ever tried In the
State of Missouri. 1t was n suit for
possession of 4 hog valued at $40 Noah

fused to GiSS'it up. whcn KinEsberry
began suit for It's possession, giving a
replevin bond. The court ordered the
cons able 10 take the hog from thinner
and restore 1t TO Kingshcrry
In the first trial OF the oase, before n
Justice OF the peace, there was a. mis-
trial. and new trial was ordered The
second resulted In n >-crIir, in f,yor ,,f
Nngsbcrry. An appeal was taken by
thinner to the Circuit Court Of Howard
county, and when the case came to trial
II resulted in second judgment in
NlngSDerry'S favor. Owing to the nj
legged misconduct of che of the jurors,
the Judgment was set aside and n ncw
trial ordered. Ximmcr's attorneys at
once entered 4 motion for n change of
venue, which was granted to Randolph
county, with the result as given.
One of the SANDER cases growing ont
OF the above was that of Edward u.
Miller VS.. John thinner. The plaintiff
Claimed that the defendant charged him
(Millcr) falsely with forging His (AIN
lcrs) mother's name 20 n. note for 81. 600
which note WAS given 10 thinner. Miller
claiming damages to the amount of
$4,000. This was compromised by Tin,
n!er releasing Miller OF the payment OF
the note and interest and paying Mil
ler's attorneys $3.50 fees and the court all
the costs In the case.
The Other SANDER suit is TINT of III
ward Kingsberry VS. John thinner 70,
$4,000 damages. Edward Kingsberry
sets out In his petition that the defend
ant. thinner, called Kingsberry a. liar.
hog thief. etc, in the presence of other
parties, and that his character was dam.
aged to the amount claimed.

These dreams and the consequent dis
cussion of death, resulted In the forma-
ton OF u remarkable compact by the
old men, which will unquestlonably be
carried out If their physical condition
permits ut the time. At the funeral OF
the one who first lies, the remaining
three are ITO ride In an open barouche
drawn by four white horses, each to
carry and lay on the grave of the de-
ceased n design Of white flowers rep
resenting Father Time.
At the death Of the second the sur
viving two are TO do the same, while
the funeral OF third will be led off by
the only survivor Of the extraordinary
quartet, under the same conditions.
When the fourth. and last one. dies,
arrangements have been made with a
lodge here which will take charge of
the burial. The funeral cortege Will be
preceded by q large drum corps, while
members of the lodge will decorate
the grave with cmblems indicating. that
the last one OF the four old men has
departed. When seen at Klein's Hotel,
old Mr.. PhiIlippi discussed these plans
freely, and gave assurances that, moth
ing preventing. the Old gentlmen would
certainly fulfill the contract. He said
he expected TO be the last one living Of
the four.

A HOODOO MULE.
Three of Its Drivers Have Been Strick-
en- With Paralysis


4 dispatch from Columbia, S. c., says:
There is 4 big bay mule standing idle
in the stables OF the Columbia street
improving force. He is gentle and kind,
but It will require a strong minded man
to drive him.
~ few days ago John BaGby, n white
employe of the city, was stricken with
paralysis and now lies seriously Ill at his
home. The fact that other members Of
the force have been warning him for n
year that he would be SO afflicted he
came known, and an investigation was
made, resulting in the discovery that
since this particular mule has been
owned by the city 1t has had three driv-
ers. The first. n man named Esminger
was stricken with paralysis and died
Then Jesse Roof took charge of the big
mule. About Il year ago he suffered a
paralytic stroke and is now cripple for
life. ETcn then many men on the force
began TO talk about the mule and say
1t was fatal to drive him. but Bagby
took no stock in that kind of thing
and nc assumed charge Of the mule
that other men We're afraid TO handle
His companions warned him from time
to time in n more or less jocular vein,
but his misfortune has given the case a
more serious turn to all of chem.
