RICE LODGED IN HER EAR.

Mrs. Biri's Painful Experience From an
Old Time Wedding Custom.
Mrs Albert e. Birk of Bridgeport,
Conn, who was recently married at the
home Of her parents, Mr.. and Mrs John
H. Jennings, i'll Greens Farms, was
compelled to undergo an operation in
New York city the other day for the re-
moval Of a kernel Of rice which had be-
come lodged III one Of her ears.
Mr.. and Mrs. Birks were showered
with rice on leaving the homestead by
the happy throng which had assembled
to witness the wedding. At the railroad
station the performance was repeated.
After leaving the house Mrs. BiTks
was troubled with peculiar sensation
i'll one of her ears. She concluded that
a particle of the rice thrown had be-
come lodged there. She made several
attempts to remove it.
While On her way to New York the
piece Of rice settled farther toward the
drum and began to cause her much
pain. On reaching New York the pain
had become intense, and Mr.. Birks call
ed in a physician. The latter made sew
eral attempts to remove the trouble
but was unsuccessful
1t was not until the services of three
doctors had been employed that the ker-
mel of rice was removed. Then it had
to be taken out in small pieces.

TIE FIRST COLONY TO BE FORMED IN
TENNESSEE.

At Cost Of &1,756.o@O Three Hundred
and Fifty Thousand Acres Have Been
Acquired Colonel Hinton Outlines the
Plans.
Colonel Richard J. Hinton, chairman
Of the colonization commission of Eu-
gene v Debs' scheme of Social Democ-
tacy, has affixed his signature to papers
which will transfer to the commission
800, 600 acres of land in Cumberland
and Fentrass counties, Tenn. Colonel
Hinton, who left for Chicago recently,
is the principal promoter of the coloni-
cation plans, one of the originators of
them, i'll fact, and he outlines the plans
of the projectors of the enterprise as fol-
lows
"The Tennessee colony will be the
first organized by the Social Democ-
racy," said Colonel Hinton. Next
year it is the purpose to open similar
colonies in Idaho and Washington. In
deed, it is my intention while in the
west to conclude arrangements for the
colonies in those states as we'll as for
that in Tennessee. The land which we
have acquired in Tennessee cost 81, $50, =
900. The Kentucky Trust company sup
piled TIE commission with the money
with which the purchase was made, the
company accepting the commission s
bond for So, GOO. This will leave
us margin Of $3.50, 900 with which to
inaugurate the colony
I'm establishing the Tennessee colony
we shall make no effort to secure politi-
cal control of the state, but we shall
make that effort through the colonies
which we will establish in the western
states. Our purpose in Tennessee will
simply be to prove that in favorable
location in one of the older states homes
and security can be obtained by wage
earners under a system Of collective own
ership of lands, transportation facili-
ties and the machinery of production.
We believe that the conditions in Ten
nessee are highly favorable to the es-
tablishment of comfortable homes and
for the creation in course of time of
many industries, the products of which
will command constant sale throughout
the United States. In brief, the idea
which we will develop is similar to that
upon which the Shakers are organized,
except that our organization is political
and theirs is religious The Shakers
have now $50, 100000 lying idle, and
they are enabled to live in peace and
comfort That is the condition to which
we hope to bring the workingmen who
associate themselves with US.
after the communities are fairly
started they will control themselves
The colOnists will choose their own ad-
ministrative officers, and every man
will be the equal Of every other. The
men who will form the colony at the
start believe that such movement is
their only salvation. 1t is not expected
therefore that there will be the least
difficulty in maintaining discipline
among them. Every man will be ex-
pected to do his duty, and his labor
will have the reward to which it is
justly entitled. No idlers will be toll
Grated in the community. Any man
who is willing to work will be warmly
welcomed Those who are not will be
informed that they are not wanted

IRELAND'S LlMBLESS HERO.
Monument VIII Be Built to One of Erins
Remarkable Sons.

Remarkable Sons.
In Leinster county, Ireland, they are
about to build monument to remark
able man.
He was a lineal descendant of the
kings of Leinster. He inherited broad
lands. And he was, as he bitterly de-
scribed himself, 'despised homun-
culus "
He was the Right Hon. Arthur Mac.
Murragh Kayanagh. He was born with
out arms and legs, having only four
stumps, each about a foot in length, in
place of the limbs
In spite of this awful fate he was at
different times member Of parliament,
privy councillor and lord lieutenant
of his native county. Twice he refused
an elevation to the peerage.
Mr.. Kavanagh was also a fearless
cross country rider and good shot. He
followed the hounds until age and in
creasing inirmity forced him to desist
AT first he rode without any protection,
relying simply on the grip of his leg
stumps, but a nasty fall, which broke
own use a box sidesaddle, in which he
was strapped A short skirt covered the
continuance and gave Kavanagh very
singular appearance.
His shooting was done by means of
guns from which the trigger guards had
been removed. The gun to be fired was
laid along his left shoulder and with
his right hook he pulled the trigger.
His aim was deadly, as the tigers,
deer and other big game of which tro-
phies are preserved in Boris House, are
ample proof While in Persia, at the
court Of the Viceroy Mira Malicious, in
1849, he defeated % picked sharpshoot-
ers in contest of craftsmanship.
His parliamentary career was bril-.
liant and his praises are sung in his
own country by all parties, irrespective
of politics or creed.
Mr.. Kavanagh was married, and all
his children are well formed and robust.

The widespread misery and want that
prevail in Italy appear to be exercising
disastrous and degenerating infu-
ence on the physique of the masculine
portion Of the population. According to
official statistics just issued by the war
department at Rome, out of every 1000
young men of 20 years Of age liable for
military service, which is obligatory in
Italy as in Germany and Austria, 500,
or more than half, were rejected by the
medical authorities as physically dis
qualified for service in the army.

The French government, finding itself
unable to increase the taxation, which
is heavier per capita in France than in
any other country Of the world, has de-
cided to resort to the conversion Of its
treasury bonds or rentes from 3 per cent
to 219 as the easiest, and indeed the
only available, means of increasing the
revenues of the state The ground is
taken that as the national credit is such
that the government has recently been
able to secure temporary loans at Il
per cent the interest charge on treasury
bonds is far too high and that a CONVEX
sion scheme would respond to the present
state of Frances national credit. That
the latter should stand so high is sur
prising, when it is remembered that al

population has only increased by 298, =

to the issue of an order whereby the
kiosks are twisted half round, so that

instead Of facing the footpath, now run
parallel with the curb. The occupants
Of the kiosks are in arms, declaring that
their trade will be impaired by the

on the boulevards. They vent their
wrath on the cafe and restaurant propri-
etors. This has brought joy to the vari-
