LUNCHES ON HARDWARE.
Harrison Swallows Nails, Tacks and
Other Digestible Articles at an
Exhibition in the Hospital.

The Human Ostrich" is the name
of which Harry Harrison is the proud
owner. The title, while not particu-
larly romantic or picturesque, never
theless is very apt, and if ever man
deserved it, Harrison does.
The latter is about 25 years of age
and a native of Syracuse, n. Y. The
peculiar meals he takes seems to have
no particular effect upon him, as he
is strong and robust, has an arm as
hard as steel, and the large chest ex-
pansion of about ten inches. He has
been exhibiting himself in dime mus
Gums and side shows of circuses for
the last eight or nine years. He was
in this city a few years ago giving
exhibitions at Davis Wonderland.
He gave an exhibition yesterday
morning at about IL o'clock in the
Lackawanna hospital before a number
of physicians and others.
He opened his performance by swal-
lowing. as a sort of relish, about twen-
ty or thirty small sharp-pointed tacks.
He followed this by making a hearty
meal on horse shoe nails, which he
bent with his hands and teeth pre-
paratory to taking them, small screws
and iron nails.
AS he was not particularly hungry
Mr.. Harrison did not lunch on any tin
cans, stove-lifters or anything of that
sort. but confined himself to the light
lunch above mentioned, in addition 70
which he ate with apparent relish
knife-blade kindly furnished by one
of the spectators.
At the completion of this menu Mr..
Harrison ate a large-sized portion OF
a drinking glass as dessert. This
completed his entertainment and he
was then taken upstairs, where he
allowed the doctors in attendance to
inspect his internal hardware store
by means of the X-rays and as re-
suit when the rays were turned on
by means of the horoscope the en-
tire incongruous collection swallowed
was plainly seen.

Ject be carried to a success the city

ploy about 300 hands at the outset.

Washington, Septemberss %. Secretary
Root has received cable message from
Gen. Otis regarding the Chinese situation
in the Philippines. He says that the
shipIoad of 700 Chinamsn landed without
any serious interference with military
operations. Gen. Otis discusses at consid-
able length the subject OF Chinese In
the Philippine islands. The despatch
was referred to the state department
where 1t was made the subject of con-
ference between Secretary Hill and the
Chinese minister.
A settlement Of the general Issue be-
tween the two governments respecting she
admission of the Chinese to the Philip
pines was not attained through this par
ticular incident which was considered
and disposed of solely on lite own m erits.
Half Of them were previous residents OF
the islands. They will be landed, but
without recognizing the right of the Chi
