Oracle to Survivors.
Several years ago was the Omaha
Republicans correspondent IN Lincoln,
Neb., the state capital, when the paper
changed hands. The new proprietor had
a policy in two words, Reduce sala.
riesi'' In few months he was himself
reduced to the point where he co0ldn {
pay any salary. He asked me to come TO
Omaha and take the editorship at the
salary I was receiving as reporter. He
would cut my salary in two if remain
ed In Lincoln. I accepted reluctantly.
It was only question of few weeks
when the paper would have TO suspend,
and there was little honor or profit IN
guiding the wreck.
For three weeks we managed TO get
along somehow, and then the proprietor
went into retirement. The Republican
had the Associated Press franchise and
had presses and material worth $50, 600.
1t had about s, 600 paid subscribers.
had tried to get somebody to buy it, and,
in the hope that somebody would, we
continued to get the paper out. At last
the printers announced that they would
not work any longer. I prevailed upon
them to work that night, and they
agreed to help get out farewell issue
1t was a unique specimen. For weeks
Mr.. Rosewater, the proprietor OF The
Bee, and Mr.. Hitchcock, the proprietor
of The World Herald, had been waiting
for The Republicans demise with eager
expectation They knew we had been
endeavoripg TO sell the paper to outside
parties, and determined to give them
a scare
!. In an editorial recounting the vicissi
tudes through which The Republican
had passed 1 said that at last the pa
per's troubles had come TO an end, and
they had. For some weeks, the editorial
went ON TO say, the future Of The Re
publican had been problematic, but now
the suspense was over. We knew exactly
what was in store fol sne paper, and we
did. For contemporaries there might
be rir.Iries and annoyances, but for
Ene Republican all that was past, and
it was.
l learned afterward that there was
CONSERVATION in The Bee and World
Herald offices the next day and that it
was not until the second night, when
everybody knew the cid Republican had
gone under, that our contemporaries
were treasured -New York Mail and

A Hindoo I'D 81 Rnbher.

A Hindoo named Bava Luchman Dass
is attracting the interested attention of
the London medical profession Mr..
Dass is a Yogi, and if al Yogis are like
Mr.. Dass the ordinary tneatises on an
atozny must be subjected TO revision. He
was exhibited 10 the Students Anatom-
zeal society Of st. Georges hospital and
introduced by the lecturer as IAN unu-
eSually complicated specimen OF the In
>Yogi-a Brahman, namely, of a
high caste-who goes through GER
On religious exercises with a view Of
qualifying himself better for paradise. .
These religions exercises seem 20 take a
physical form, and Mr. Dass. a little,
dark gentleman, sat upon the table and
proceeded TO exhibit selection from the
81 abnormal positions which he has put
In 20 solid years in learning.
He seemed 10 have ligaments of the
gutta percha persuasion, while his
joints evidently work on all bearings.
He formed his legs into crayat and
tied them about his neck He hoped
about on one hand and strolled about
iauntily on his knees, q position which
is said to greatly assist thought, though
the thoughts Of a white man IN such a
position would hardly be fit for publica-
ton. He folded his legs tightly around
his body and stood thoughtfully On his
finger tips for several minutes, in which
posture he declared he was able to re-
main for seven days. However, as the
medical students did not wish to carry
out this particular experiment to its Bit
ter end, Mr.. Bass proceeded to tie him
self up in a knot and to 60 to sleep on
one leg like a haningo. Then sitting
down suddenly ne brought the soles Of
his feet together, his knees being at such
an acute angle that nothing short Of
complete dislocation could have made
the performance possible. The lecturer
endeavored &c follow his movements on
an extremely Suggestive looking skeleton
which he had by his side and finally
came TO the conclusion that Mr. Dass
had no hgaments at all-London

NEW TELEPHONE COMPANY.
Work Begun Placing Poles in Wilkes
BarTe--The COmpany's Intention.

About a week ago work was begun
in this city for the erection OF the
poles for the new ] uHerne County
Telephone company which was Or
ganized about a year ag1, and which
has since been soliciting enough
subscribers to warrant going ahead
with the work. Poles have already
been erected on Welles and Lincoln
streets and the men are now engaged
in placing them on other streets on
the Heights, 1t now looks as if the
company means business. The COM
pany has the right secured from the
various boroughs, to erect poles and
string wires in all Of the surrounding
towns, including PittstOn and Nanti-
coke, and another company has the
right for Scranton and Lackawana

companies are virtually identical ana
that the service of the two will be
merged into one.

DIAMOND JIM BRADY.
The Fad ofa Man Who Travels with
Precious stones Worth 100000.

A Denver dispatch to the Sun says:
Accompanying a party of southern
Pacific officials returning from con-
ference at Monterey, Cal, that passed
through Denver today was James B.
Brady, who is engaged in the business
of railway supplies. Mr.. Brady is
known as diamond Jim" by his asso-
ciates. When he dresses for a pleasure
excursion, it is said, he goes about
with $50, 600 worth of diamonds hidden
about his person.
He displays ordinarily a diamond
scarfpin, a pair OF diamond cuff but
tons. and a ring or two. His watch is
studded with diamonds and cost $4,000.
The diamonds that are not displayed
ConSpiCuously are said to be the cost
liest. He wears diamonds upon his
garter buckles, the buttons of his silk
underwear have small diamonds set
in them, and his suspender buckles are
incrusted with gems. The chains of
his suspenders are of gold. He carries
with him a collection of umbrellas ard
canes all of which have golden handles
set with diamonds. He also carries
| matches in a diamond d-ornamented
match case and his cigars are offered
to his companions from an deliberately
enamelled and diamond incrusted cigar
case. He lets his fad run unchecked
in the matter of cuff buttons, scarf
pins, and shirt buttons. He has twelve
sets of cuff buttons, nearly as many
sets of shirt buttons, and scarfpins in
Vulnerable, with the ornaments always
diamonds OF his many diamond rings
Of curious designs there is one that
bears solitaire turquoise set within a
cluster of diamonds. This he calls his
mascot, and he never let's it leave his
possession. He does not wear it, but
always carries it about with him.
