The political busybodies are all work
ing over time seeking to array Presi-
dent Mckinley on one side OF the con-
test for the Michigan Senatorship, but
1t is waste of time and energy. Pres
ident Mckinley is no more likely to
take sides in that contest than is any
other citizen of another State. Senator
Mem illan, who is a candidate for re-
election, is his warm personal friend,
and so is Secretary Alger, who has an
nounced his candidacy. 1t is ridiculous
to say, as some are doing, that the con-
test involves the control of the Michi-
gan delegation to the Republican Ma
tional Convention. 1t does nothing of
the sort. 1t has been stated for months
past by every Michigan Republican in
Congress and by Secretary Alger that
the Michigan delegation to the next
national convention was bound to be
unanimous for the denomination of Pres
ident Mckinley because that is the sen.
! timent of the voters.

A Story of Inhuman Torture.

The Berlin correspondent of the
London Daily News sends an account
of a case of inhuman torture stated to
have taken place in q Belgian IRON
works in the Caucasus. A sum Of
money having disappeared from the
safe, suspicion fell on a number of boys
engaged at the works, and the direct
0rs, not considering it necessary to in
form the police, had the lads lmprisOn-
ed for three days, keeping them entire
ly without food, to make them confess
No confession being obtained, they
were stripped and beaten with sticks.
after which their eyelids were raised,
and holes prieked through them with
needles. The screaming victims were
then dashed against the wall, and, as
they fell, again beaten with sticks
about the chest and stomach till they
became insensible. Their tOrmentOFs
soused them with cold water till they
regained consciousness, and then began
their devilish work again. This time
they proceeded 20 extract some of their
teeth, and, as this was all Of no avail,
to squeeze large stones into their
mouths, binding the lower jaw fast
with a piece Of leather, and then ham,
mering their foreheads with the butt
end of revolver. Finally the boys in
thoir agony lost all mastery over them
selves, and Acknowledged having stolen
the money. The police have now
taken the matter up.

A Very Bad Habit.

s'It makes me shudder to see a wOm-
an bite thread or silk with her teeth,
said a Chicago woman, "and nine
women out of ten take that way Of
shipping off ends when they sew. The
dentists have come to recognize teeth
which have been put to such use, and
have ehristened them thread teeth
The biting of thread is one Of the worst
abuses to which a tooth can be subject
ed. Just why the habit is formed would
be hard to say, because every wOrk-bas-
ket worth the name contains pair Of
scissors, and only the merest fraction Of
time is lost in using them. What would
matter the loss of whole minutes when
the welfare of things which can never
be replaced is concerned?
''The persistent biting is literally saw
ing the enamel Off the teeth, and moth
ing can take its place, yet venture to
say that every one of the thread-biting
women would stOutly maintain that
she takes the best care of her teeth and
can not understand why she is forced
to pay frequent visits to her dentist.
He will not tell her what is the matter,
because he has undoubtedly grown
weary of giving good advice which no
body follows. He will repair the dam
age as far as his skill goes and pocket
his fee like a sensible man. Never,
never expect in this world TO get an
atom of sympathy for the results OF
your own foolishness, FOR it will not be
forthcoming"

A Remarkable Feat.

cone Of the most remarkable feats of
strength / ever saw in my life is per
formed every day by an old beggsr on
Barrone street, " said one of a group of
elubmen engaged in discussing ath-
leties.
at is nothing to look at, i" he eontin-
ued, 'and you will smile when l des-
eribe it, hut am willing to bet that
there is nobody in the crowd that can
come anywhere near duplicating the
performance. The beggar to whom |
refer stands in almost exactly the same
position all day lOng-bis feet little
apart, his shoulders stopped, his chin
on his breast and his right arm extend
ed, holding a cup. OF course, / don't
pretend TO assert that he holds out the
cup continuously without rest or inter-
mission during his entire stay, but on
several occasions have timed him, and
can state positively that he has kept
his arm extended with hardly quiver
for over twenty minutes at stretch. a
person who knew nothing of athletics
would suppose that was easy, but it
isn't by a jugful, as some of you chaps
are doubtless aware remember hear
log very powerful fellow in the bill
lard room of the st. Charles boast of
the length of time he could hold a
dumbbell at arms length, and some
body present remarked quietly that he
would bet basket of champagne he
couldn't hold out visiting card stead
lily for quarter Of an hour by the
watch. The big man jumped at the
wager, and for a few minutes his arm
was as straight and rigid as bar Of
iron. Then il began to quiver slightly,
and presently the arteries were stand
ing out like cords and the sweat was
streaming down his face like rain. He
gave up in the eleventh minute.
There is undoubtedly more or less
Of trick in the thing, and ] suppose
the old beggar holds his pose through
long force of habit, but nevertheless
it's a remarkable feat. New Orleans

Mol Pitchers Home Gone.

The last vestige Of the Pitcher house,
in which lived the famous MOll Pitch
er, the: :"Pythoness of Lynn has DIS
appeared, says the Boston Transcript.
The old building has been demolished,
and the material, brick, stone, etc,
used in the construction of new build
ings which are being erected in the
vicinity of the site. According TO re-
searches made by the Essex Antigua
rian Society an injustice has been done
to the memory Of Moll Pitcher by ac-
counts which describe her as a witch,
decrepit, malevolent and possessed Of
all the wicked traits commonly aseTib-
ed of dealings with unseen powers.
On the contrary, all information seeur-
ed in regard to her goes to prove her
a woman of more than ordinary intel
ligence, charitable to the poor, de-
voted wife and mother aud a kind
neighbOr, as well as being credited
with marvellous powers Of predicting
future events. Her proper name was
Mary Pitcher, although she was IA
miliarly known as "M)lr' Pitcher.
I; appears that isolated cases Of sue
eessful predictions in early woman
hood gradually built up her reputation
as fortune-teller, and she became
known widely as a prophecies. She
died April Is, 1914, aged 70, and was
buried in the old cemetery near the
western end Of Lynn Common. Her
grave was unmarked until 1887, when
Isaac o. Guild and John L. MOultOn,
to distinguish the spot, erected neat
gravestOne.
