BRITISH REGIMENTS.
Dublin Fusi1eers Raised in India and
the Royal Rifles Organized
in New York.

The names of the British regiments
are not to be taken as indicating much.
The Royal Dublin fusiliers, to which,
according to one dispatch, the credit
for the capture of the Beers position
should be accorded, is a regiment raised
in India some 200 years ago, WHICH in
all probability has never been in Ire
land. 1t got the name probably for
the reason that at the time of the re-
organization of the army in 1881 three
hattalions of Irish militia were attached
to it as its reserve.
The Royal Rifle corps, which is re-
ported to have lost heavily in its charge
on the Beers, is famous regiment
which was organized in New York in
1775. 1t was originally known as the
"Sixty-second Royal American regi-
ment of foot" One hundred years ago
the regiment was famous for the
craftsmanship of it's members. To-day
it is famous for the same reason, and no.
torious from the fact that it includes
any number of bad boys" who were en-
listed to be Strengthened out. 1t is an
interesting reminder of our own little
trouble with Great Britain.

EAGLE AND LOBSTER.
Rider Haggard's Brother Tells of q
Most Remarkable Battle
In the Air.

Lieut.. Col. Andrew c. p. Haggard, an
elder brother of Rider Haggard, the
novelist, recently returned from trip
to Newfoundland, and tells of re-
markable sight he saw while sitting on
the seashore with a guide with whom
he had been fishing for salmon in the
Terra Nova river. They had been
watching for some time the evolutions
of whte-headed eagle, called by the
Observation-Disclosures grip" After soar
ing round in several circles above and
in front of them the eagle suddenly
dashed down into pool of water near
them on the beach and reappeared hold
ing an enormous lobster in his talons.
1t was an old lobster, with huge
claw, white with barnacles. The eagle
had him clutched firmly around the
back, and at first the huge claw hung
helplessly down, the barnacles shining
white in the sunlight. This was only
for second, though. The ripples on
the recently disturbed pool had not yet
died away when the captive lobster sud-
denly awoke to the seriousness of the
81 ia tlUii, anu W lHlllh was 10 ACT. = p
moved the great white barnacled claw
until it seized the eagle round the neck.
There was a furious f1uttering and beat
ing of the eagles wings, melancholy
squawk from his choking throat, and
then, tumbling and rolling head over
heels in the air in a confused mass,
down came the eagle and lobster again
splash back into the pool.
The two spectators of the scene
rushed forward, thinking that they
could perhaps in some way secure both
combatants, for the splashing of the
conflict continued in shallow water.
But they lad hardly time to pick up
stone apiece to throw at the eagle
before the lobster, feeling himself at
home again, let go his hold. With his
neck all torn and devoid of feathers,
away flew the bedraggled eagle, in most
melancholy guise, to neighboring
cliff, while the lobster, to give Col. lag
CARDS own words, 'still brandishing
his enormous claw in defiance, re-
manned smiling at the bottom of the
pool"

THE ELECTRIC HEALER, nj

Is doing wonderful work in healing dis
eases which have resisted the old ways
for years.
The sick are delighted and doctors of
the old schools are surprised at the sue
cess of electricity in the hands of this eX-
pert. His cures are all effected with
out any drugs or operations, by pleasant
and safe means.
1t cannot harm any one.
1t is well known that electricity and
magnetism are the twin powers that
cause the earth to revolve, the plants to
grow, the waters to flow, the rain to fall.
1t is the principle of life, and when the
telegraph system of our nerves is IN
good working order and the motor sys-
tenn of our muscles is supplied with a
strong current of electricity then we are
said to be in good health, but when that
current is deficient the weakest organ is
the first to suffer. Ii there is any organ
in your body which is weak or diseased
the natural and safe remedy is electric-
ty and magnetism At the electro mag
nelic institute you are sure to have that
applied by eNI erts in a way that will
soon make you well. Electrical or mag
netlc appliances are there, made to order
to suit every individual case.
There is no charge for a talk on the
subject, and all are invited to call and
investigate the advantages they have to
offer. 1916

CHRONIC LOSER OF TICKETS.
A Profitable Scheme Worked by an
INDECENT Old Woman on the
Travelling Public.

A respectfully dressed old woman, ap-
parently in deep distress, was noticed
standing at the foot of the steps of an
elevated railroad station the other day
Just at the hour when the rush was at
it's height. The woman had apparent
ly lost something of value. She
searched her pockets, shook out her
skirts and scanned the ground on every
side. or course, it was not long before
her distress attracted the notice OF
passersby. 81 have lost my ticket" she
said, in answer to the query of man
who stopped for a moment in his rush
for the train. Il don't know what to
do, for have not nickel with me and
| live away uptown"
The man, says the New York Sun,
pulled string of tickets from his peck
ct, tore off one, handed it to the woman
and resumed his rush without waiting
for her thanks. But the woman did not
follow. She merely moved across tc the
flight of steps on the other side. Here
she resumed her search, with the result
that a nickel was transferred to her
pocket by a passing woman. Next she
crossed the avenue and gathered some
more niciels and tickets from the pas
sengers going in the opposite direction,
finally returning to her original stand
where her plight attracted as much
compassion as before. While the OBJ
server was looking on, the woman made
two rounds of the stairs, each round oc
cupying about ten minutes. Sometimes
she was able to conduct three or four
successful operations without chang
ing her position. 1t is probable that her
average earnings were at the rate of
two dollars in nickels and negotiable
tickets an hour.

The Richmond Meeting.

The democratic meeting held in Rich
nond yesterday took the action expected
Of IL The attendance was large and rep
resentative, and the proceedings were
marked with dignity The resolutions
adopted express with frankness and clear
ness the aspirations Of those who desire
change in the method Of choosing United

the state central committee to call d state
convention or order county primaries. so
that an expression may be obtained as to d
successor to Mr. Martin which shall operate
as instructions on the subject to the next
legislature. The committees response to
this appeal Will be awaited with interest.
The principal objection urged against the
Richmond meeting was that il anti
Martin in aim This was disclaimed but
the point was well taken that the opponents
of Mr.. Martin had as much right to meet
IN favor of somebody else as his supporters
had to discourage the meeting in his inter-
ests. II Was wise not To pronounce i'll any
bUdy's favor The meeting had no creden-
tails other than the right Of popular assem-
bl4se and the good character and party
standing Of those who composed it. /, VIII

Gam bling in Wildcat Securities

From the New York Evening Post.
Shares paying nothing to investors have
sold this month eight nine points above
United States government per cents:
shares OF companies whose earning value
was absolutely unknown, and which have
been grossly over-ca pitalized, have risen
p to 30 per cent in value under the buying
Of outside spectators. In all of these Sc
curltes, moreover, practically every buyer
at the high level had bought only to sell
again on the anticipated enormous ad-
vance, and had bought with borrowed
money The resultant situation is perfectly
familiar, and will perhaps be even more ia
miliar before the year is over. A point is
eventually reached where available capital
is all employed and buying power exhaust
ed. This having happened, the Spectator
finds that ne can no longer sell except at
concessions in value. A discovery of this
sort is commonly made by the entire spec
ulatiVe community at once, and since no
body bought the stock on knowledge of
their investment merits, it becomes merely
a question of which unlucky gambler can
unload the quickest. That Is to 30 per
cent should be knocked out of stock ex-
change values in the course of such an OPP
Grafton is mere incident of the game The
same thing happened no doubt at similar
intervals. when the historic bull move
ment in tulips was under way.
