A Feat Of Memory.


The g%eographer Marcus narrates
an instance of memory probably un-
equaled. He actually witnessed the
Feat and had it attested by four
Venetian mobiles. He met in Padua
a young Corsican who had SO pow
erful a memory that he could repeat
as many as 36, 900 words read over
to him only once. Marcus, desiring
to test this extraordinary youth in
the presence of his friends, read
Over TO him an almost interminable
list of words strung together any
how. in every language and some
mere gibberish. The audience was
exhausted before the list-which
had been written down for the sake
of accuracy-was completed and at
the end of it the young Corsican
smilingly began and repeated the
entire list without a break and with
ont a mistake. Then to show his re-
markable power he went over it
backward, then every alternate
word. first. third and fifth, and so
on, until his hearers we're thor
oughly exhausted and had no hest
tation in certifying that the mem

Mr.. Philip Goetz of Brooklyn appears
to be a very picus man. He went hastily
into the police station II Sunday
morning and demanded that Henry Cook
be arrested. What had Henry Cook
done? the clerk asked him. Well, Henry
had not done anything. but Henry's
wife was sewing on a machine then, on
Sunday, and to punish her Goetz want
ed her husband arrested. 1t was wicked
to sew on Sunday, and was there no law
prohibiting work on Sunday? There
was, the CO rk said, but it was n Of
the old blue laws. tt'Then | want the
blue law enforced" said Goetz. But
presently the true inwardness of Goetz's
deep piety came out. The Cooks lived
in part of Goetz's house, and the Cooks
had not paid their rent for two months,
and Goetz wanted to get even.

A curious instance of how the citizens
Of even the freest monarchy are kept
under by militarism is witnessed today
in Great Britain. The people of the
kingdom are to a man i'll favor OF
Greece. They want her to win and tc
become the owner and ruler of Crete.
Yet in the face Of this overwhelming
public sentiment, Salisbury's admins
tration sits still and does nothing.

Russia. If they would brayely stand uI
and throw merely their moral influence
on the side Ct Greece, the powers would
change their present attitude.

Death OF Miss EdmOnds

The many friends OF Rev. William Ed
nonds, who for three years previous to
the session OF the Detroit conference last
September was pastor OF the Opechee
NJ. f.. church. will be greatly grieved TO
learn OF the death OF their daughter Eva.
which occurred at Norway, their present
home, at $50 a. N. on Monday last. A
osurgics operation had been performed
Tor appendicitis, which seemed to be per-
fectly successful, but a lack of vitality
prevented her from rallying from the
shock, and three days after the operation
sne died OF exhaustion.
Eva was an unusually bright and at
tractive child who won all hearts where
ever she went. Her age at the time OF
her death was II years / month and 10
days. She was converted at the age OF
SH years at Opechee in series OF revival
meetings conducted by her father, assist
ed by the writer. Her experience with
God at the time OF her conversion was
clear and pronounced. She joined the
church at that time and eyer after lived
-. consistent christian life. In her religi-
.ous life she was an example to all who
knew her, both young and old, Her
quantity wise sayings and her marvellous
conceptions OF God and heaven, for one
so young. will never be forgotten. To
her, death had no stingland the Boosting
grave no victory. When put upon the
surgeons table she put her arms around
her fathers neck and kissed him good-by,
saying, 81 am not afraid to die, papa"
And her last words were, Jesus has
come for me-" On the last day OF her life
she called all the members OF the family,
Including her nurse, around her bed and
herself conducted a prayer meeting, call
ing upon each topray in turn. and closed

The program az published already was
rendered in full and the pupils did very
well, rejecting credit on themselves and
their able Instructors. The musical
numbers were exceptionally good and
showed the principal to be first-class
mueic teacher.

w. j. BIoy. the Furni-
ture Dealer, Was
the Victim.
Outfit Found Near BOOtjack.
Hut NO Particulars Have 40 Far Been
LeGrned-Mr. BIOy Has Gone 10
Recover His Property

About the neryiest pice OF thieyery ever
psrpetrated in this vicinity occurred last
Saturday afternoon. Ii wasn't a petty
theft. but the crime was that OF horse
stealing, for which man would be hung
without further notice in earlier days.
W. j. Bloy, the furniture dealer, drove
up to the front OF his store shortly after
4 o'clock Saturday afternoon and left his
horse and buggy outside, while he went
unto the store for few minutes. When
ne came out the horse was gone. Mr..
Bloy thought perhaps the horse had
walked around TO the barn in the rear Of
che store, but no sign OF the animal could
be seen there, and further investigation
failed to throw any more light on the
subject.
IL was thought that someone was play
ing practical joke and had taken the rig
Tor ride, but the joke began TO get seri-
Gus when the horse and buggy tailed to
show up in the evening, and Mr.. Bloy
can put no construction on the disap-
pearanse OF the outht other than that lt
was stolen. A neighbor says he saw
someone get into the rig and drive up the
street, but thought nothing OF it. So far
afr. Bloy has positively no clue to work
on. The horse has not been seen or heard
ofsince It's disappearance.
From the number OF tramps and other
tough characters that have been seen
about lately it is more than probable
one of them stole the outfit and drove to-
ward Baraga county, intending to sell ii
FOR what be conld get.
Just rs we go 10 press we hear that
the horse has been found at Bootjacs,
but have learned no pa ticulars, only
chat Mr.. Bloy has gone after his prop
arty.

Yesterday the employees of the big
Beilaire steel works went out on strike
for higher wages, or rather a restora-
ton, in part, of the old scale that was
in force prior to the first of September,
when the plant resumed after having
undergone vast improvements. When
the steel plant resumed after the sum-
mer stop the employees were notified
that they would be expected to work
under new scale. Some of the bosses
were put under salaries, while differ
ent scale was provided for the other
employees which has amounted to
reduction in wages of about 40 per cent.
The company alleged that by. the i'm
proved machinery which had been put
in the outcome of the mill would be
increased and thus make up the diff
ference in the old and new scale. The
facts have not borne out the assurances
of the management, and while the
workmen became skilled in manipulate
ing the new machinery they could not
turn out sufficient amount of mate
rial to make up the difference in their
wages.
The metal workers, who received
slips on each 100 tons of product I'M
der the old scale, received 70 cents I'M
der the new scale; bottom makers
helpers, who got S127, only get so
cents under the new scale; cap settlers,
who received S161 under the old scale,
get now Is cents. The same proper
tionate reduction prevails in all other
departments. The men have been dis
satisfied ever since the change was
made and asked for the assistance Of
the Amalgamated Association. The re-
suit is that the men decided to strike
for an advance Of 80 cents per 100 tons
over the existing scale. The strike took
place yesterday morning. The first men
to leave were the metal wheelers in
the yards. The others Joined the
strike later. Consequently last night
the whole plant was shut down and
the condition of affairs and prospects
of a settlement of the wage difficulty
are very indefinite. The scale which
the employees ask the management to
accept, while an increase Of 80 cents
on each 100 tons of product, yet is less
than the old scale which existed prior
to September
The steel workers held a meeting last
night and appointed a committee to
present their claims to the manage
ment.
