JAMES X. HACKETT. playing DIS part
In 1.-THE Princess and the Butterfly,
and Joined in with 90 or 60 of the late
stayers, who were singing fraternity
songs. Some of his friends called on
him to do something to amuse the
crowd.
"I've no monologues or anything OF
that sort up my sleeve, said the young
actor. "I'd be delighted to do anything
if somebody will tell me what. "
"lf you can't sing or talk, you might
dance" suggested voice.
The man at the piano struck into a
rather quick waltz, and Mr.. Hackett,
after a graceful bow to the company in
general, which had formed wide cir
Gle, gathered the tails of his dress coat
in his hands and proceeded to perform
dance of truly extraordinary nature
At first it was a series of long, agile
dips and bounds in perfect time to the
music, then the dancers legs seemed
suddenly to stretch out to abnormal pro-
portions and to be all over the place at
once. His left foot would be swinging
along level with the eager faces Of the
line of spectators ON one side, and the
next second, with one tremendous twirl,
he would be tanning the heated brows
at the other side with his right shoe.
He so narrowly skipped the nose OF a
learned and dignified judge with his
patent leather tip that that gentleman
gave an alarmed sDeeze, and before he
had time to feel for his unframed nasal
organ the same shoe had neatly kicked
out the bow in the lawn tie of person
al friend of the dancer.
All this was real dancing, not simply
high kicking, in perfect time to the
rhythm of the waltz, and the strange
part of it was that it was by no means
uncouth or ungraceful. but the ubiqui-
tousness of those legs was almost uncan-
nv. After final tremendous and far
reaching twirl Mr.. Hackett sat down
breathless amid bowls Of applause, de-
claring that he hadn't taken SO much
lively exercise in long time. The fol-
lowing night he was taken ill.-New

STRANGE NEW LIGHT

UNI OF LooANSPORT, mo.

He IL Reported to Have Condensed IL Into
In Round Glass Giobe-Neither Wires
Nor Electric Currents Are Used.
FCr years IL has been known thst ex-
periments were being conducted in a
little shop at the corner of Third and
Market streets in Logansport. Ind, and
it has also been known by few friends,
under pledge Of secrecy, that impor-
tant discoveries had been made, but the
quiet manner in which the work has
been conducted left the public in igno-
rance of what was really going on be-
hind the doubly bolted and barred doors
Of this little workshop
The nature of construction or process
by which this new light is produced,
the inventor, s 3. Nickum, will not
at present make public. The light is
contained in round glass globe or
sphere, in which so called gravitation
is cut off. He claims it can be made
Of almost any brilliancy, from the size
Of pea to that of the most powerful
arc light, or even greater. 1t resembles
the light of the MONDAY sun, a beau
tiful, never changing, never Pickering
white light and when once made and
sealed remains constant forever there
after. There are no wires and no elec-
trio current is used, but the light never
goes out and when not in use can be
, placed in q bureau drawer or any con-
venient receptacle till needed.
S. b. Nickum was born in Darke
county, O., on Feb. IL, 1868. His moth
| er dying about two years after his birth,
he was taken by his mothers brother,
| David Walters, to live in Van Vert
| county, o.. Heremained there for about
| three years, when his father, having in
the meantime moved to Jay county,
Ind, and marrying again, took him
home. In 1869 the family moved to
Franklin county, Kan, where they liv-
| ed until 1874, when they removed to
Grant county. Ind. His father died at
Jalappa, Grant county, the following
year.
s. B. Nickum was an inventor born
and displayed remarkable inventive in
genuity from childhood up, he having
secured number of patents prior to
coming of age. In one of these was
incorporated the pointed switch rail
which is now used on every railroad in
the land. Like most inventors, ne real
lied but little on his inventions
He operated a small machine shop
and saw works in Marion, Ind, for q
number Of years, finally coming TO Lo.
gansport about seven years ago and
starting small shop and model works
at the corner of Third and Market
streets, his present location. Being an
inventor and an investigator, his mind
was never centered on his business
which was in consequence attended
with Indifferent success.
2 About five years ago he was engaged
TO construct number of solar systems
and while closely noting their operation
he was led to conclusions which caused
him to question and finally abandon
Sir Isaac Newton's theory. After tina
other things came rapidly, the discover!
of how to make this new light bein,

"Massai then became a problem to suo-
eessive chiefs of scouts bugbear to the
reservation Indians and a terror to Ari-
zona. III man was killed or a woman
missed, the indians came galloping and the
scouts lay on his trail. If he met a woman
In the defiles, he stretched her dead II she
did rot please his Grant fancy. He took
pot shots ut the men blowing In their little
ields and Knocked the Mexican bull drivers
On the head as they plodded through the
binding dust of the Globe road. He even
sat like vulture on the rim rock and sig
nailed the Indians TO come out and talk
When two Indians thus accosted did go
out, they found themselves looking down
Massai's 90 caliber and We're tempted to
do his bidding. He sent one In for sugar
and coffee, holding the brother, for such he
happened to be, as hostage till the sugar
and coffee came. Then he told them that
be was going behind rock to lie down,
cautioning them not to move for an hour.
That was an unnecessary bluff, for they
did not wink an eye till shutdown.
Later than this he stole girl in broad
daylight in the face Of San Carlos camp
and dragged her up the rocks Here he
was attacked by Is or 20 bucks, whom he
stood off until darkness. When they
reached his lair in the morning, there lay
the dead girl, but NASSAU was gone.
~ never saw NASSAU but once, and then
It was only piece of his G string flicker
Ing in the brush. We had followed his
trail half the night, and just at daylight,
as we assembled steep part OF the noun
tains, caught sight of apony's head look
| ing over n bush. We advanced rapidly,
only to find the horse grunting from q
stab wound in the belly and the little
camp scattered around about him. The
shirt tail Pickering in the brush was all Of
NASSAU. We followed on, but he had gone
down steep bluff. We went down, too,
thus exposing ourselves to draw his fire SO
that we could locate him, but he was not
| tempted.
1.-THE late Lieutenant Clark had much
the same view Of this mountain outlaw,
and since those days two young men Of
the Seventh cavalry, Rice and Averill,
have on separate occasions crawled on his
camp at the break of day, only to see Mas
sol go out of sight In the brush like q blue
quail.
| Lieutenant Averill, after a forced
march of So miles, reached hostile camp
near morning, after climbing his detach-
ment, since midnight, up the almost inac-
cessible rocks, in hopes of surprising the
camp. He divided his force into three
parts and tried, AS well as possible, Ia
close every avenue Of escape, but as the
camp was on high rocky hill ut the juno
tion of four deep canyons, this was found
impracticable At daylight the savages
came out together, running like deer and
making for tho canyons. The soldiers
fired, killing buck and accidentally
wounding a squaw, but NASSAU simply dis
appeared.

The Hawaiian Antiannexationists Wear
Costly Floral Decorations.
The Hawaiian antiannexationists, Of
whom Colonel j. III. Richardson is the
recognized leader, have created sensa-
ton in Washington by the singularity
of their adornment. Wasbingtonians
are accustomed TO the picturesque attire
of the representatives Of nations in the
far east, but the decorations Of the Ha-
waiian antiannexationists are so new
and startling that wherever Colonel
Richardson and the members Of his par
ty go they are the cynosure Of all eyes.
Their decorations consist Of floral
wreaths placed around their hats and
around their necks. One Gay their
wreaths were made of white and red car
nations. Dressing, as they do, in every
respect like Americans, the figures the
antiannexationists made with the hat
and neck floral wreaths can be imagined.
Carnations were selling in Washington
recently at 81 per dozen, and as it took
over IL dozen to make the wreaths foI
each individual the costliness OF the an.
tiannexationists' decorations caused gen
eral amazement.
Colonel Richardson and his associates
were sent to Washington by native Ha'
waiians who are not only opposed to
the islands being annexed to the United
States, but who are also in favor of the
Liliuokalani dynasty. These natives
| raised considerable fund for the ex
penses of the delegation. If the mem
bers of the delegation continue THU
costly character of decoration, they will
be in danger Of running short OF casf

ELECTRIC POWER.

Used In Machine Shops &c Was ut First .
Failure, but IL Now Successful.
No more remarkable expansion Of the
use of electricity has ever been witnessed
than its application, during the past three
or four years, to the driving OF tools In
machine shops. We are all too sadly ia
miliar with the treatises and articles pub
lished six or seven years ago by the so
called friend: of electrical development,
In which they showed how tools could be
SO driven and i'm which they proclaimed
the enormous advantages Of electricity In
such cases over every other form of power.
The writers Of these articles would to-
day, II they were candid, frankly nc
knowledge that they inspired business
men with profound distrust Of electricity
as a motive power, because when these
business men began to go into details,
after their fashion, they found that tho
current was, mt that time, much more ex-
pensive than direct steam or regular belt
ing, while those of them who actually in
stalled plants with electric motors found
that the motors had an unfortunate habit
of breaking down ut the most unexpected
and embarrassing times. In ono word, the
time was not ripe.
Since then, however, the vast extension
Of the trolley system and the consequent
experience which it entailed, directly and
| indirectly, on manufacturers Of electric
motors everywhere, have made 1t possible
| to build motors of any size, which, with
| an economical output at given load, will
stand occasional or frequent overloads
with IMMUNITY.
Today the number Of firms throughout
| the whole United States which are daily
replacing belted plants, in whole or In
| part, with electric motors Is steadily In
| creasing. In another year or two, when
the present unorganized struggle for pre-
cedence In such work will have settled
| down, il will be found that electricity has
become as Indispensable in the machine
shop as it now Is In the lighting and SUI
burban transportation fields. Indeed as
electric lighting plants increase. so will
the tendency to run small shops by cleo
tricity grow. because the lighting compa-
MES will ask nothing better than to sell
| power during hours when the greater part
of their plant would otherwise be lying
idle.--E Ii. Mullin in Casters Magazine
