DONOHUE AS A FAKIR.

eldest elements in the New England
states, he went to New Orleans in the
spring of 1860. A year later the south
ern city having become too warm for
him on account of his previous resi-
dence there, he had to return to Bos-
ton.
When the war broke out he was ap-
pointed provost detective at Boston,
this because of his keen intelligence,
shrewdness and large acquaintance,
both north and south. In 1868 he was
assigned to Washington, where ne and

bags of mail, from which Gen. Augur
obtained evidence that caused the seiz-

in that vicinity.
Then Donohue became confidential
agent of Gov. Andrew. While acting in
this capacity he intercepted in Canada

Give the Wife the Same Pnver

The Texas court Of appeals, it Is
noted, has affirmed the right of in
ferior courts to issue injunctions at
the request Of a husband forbiddins
any third person to speak to, write
to, or in any way communicate with
his wife, whenever such act shall be
prejudicial to the applicant" The af-
firming decision is sweeping and gem
eral, and under it in Texas husband
may enjoin not only the male object
of his jealousy, but his mother-in- law
and "all his wife's relations" from
holding communication with her
whenever they may not approve of his
conduct. Now, if some authority will
give sne wife the power to enioin
her husband against speaking to, writ
ing to, or in any way communicating
with third persons when such act shall
be unpleasant to the applicant, Texas

Bloody Fight in q Railroad Tower.

Peter Hopkins and Oscar Clifford
tower men in the Long Island railroad
tower, fought an ugly battle the other
day. Clifford says he drew his pocket
knife and every time Hopkins kicked
at him he slashed his assailant in the
leg. The fight ragged for several min

weakened by the loss of blood and
Clifford came out of the tower. While
staunching the blood from his wounds
Hopkins directed the depot man in the

Easy Way to He Generous.

In the Baptist church Of New Eng
land village was an old man who had
all the Christian graces save one. and
that one was the grace of iberality.
He would do anything in the world for
the cause of religion but give up his
money. At the close of the financial
year 1859 the church found itself $500
In debt. A church meeting was called,
and it was voted to circulate subscrip.
ton paper on the spot and endeavor to
thus raise the sum needed. This was
done, and the old gentleman did not
put his name on the paper. The result
was rather disheartening, $500 only
having been pledged Silence reigned

generous men in the church moved that

SECOND ANNUAL MEETING.
The Fat Mans Cycle Touring Club Meets
with I. H. Keeler-SumptuouS Dinner
Election of Officers.

EiSNuUu VI OilSSlSs
From the Owosso Press:
Abo ttheonly reason the Fat Mans Cy-
Gle Touring Club has for holding an annual
election is that it affords one more oppor-
tunity for having banquet during the
year; and in accordance with the custom
OF former years the club members were
summoned to appear at the home of Fat
Man 1. III. Keller, Friday evening, March
18th, for the purpose of holding the an
nual election and to dispose OF such other
business as should properly or improper
ly come before the club in the form of
anything to eat or drink.
Rare indeed are the occasions when the
fat men banquet without the ladies, but
the early stages of the annual election be-
ing secret, it was of necessity strictly a
stag affair, a circumstance much regretted
by every member of the club.
At 7 o'clock seventeen members of the
club sat down to an elegant dinner served
by Mrs. l. HI. Keller and daughter, Miss
Bernice. Each guest wore q shamrock,
and the table was made beautiful by a
generous use of cut flowers. The next
two hours were spent in doing ample JUS
tice to the sumptuous eight-course dinner.
Fat Man J. w. Simmons, who had not
met with the club during the past year
and who hadtraveled from Ypsilanti to
attend the annual election, was called
upon after dinner to give an account of
himself, which he did to the entire salts
faction of all present except Fat Men
Hunt and Parkill, who were anxious for
an opportunity to cross examine the
speaker, but their requests were prompt
ly denied by the president.
A letter from Fat Man J. G. Cromer, of
st. Louis, Mo-, was read by the secretary
and listened to with much interest.
Rev. Cromer and Prof. Simmons were
voted life honorary membership. They
with Rev. Matteson make up the list of
honorary members.
The sole purpose of the organization
being to allow no opportunity of eating to
escape and to exchange views on how to
live without losing flesh, it was somewhat
difficult to find members who were will
ing to assume the responsibilities of the
several offices. President A. M. Bentley
was offered the job for another year with
prospect of raise in salary but he
declined and III. Keller was elected by
unanimous vote. Chas. E. Rigley was
reelected vice president, and George B.
McCaughna was elected secretary and
treasurer. G. w. Gale and f. Wykes
were elected members of the executive
committee to act with other officers.
The secretary's report showed among
many other secrets very enjoyable year
as club, and cash balance OF $6.40, an
increase Of $3.50 over the balance at the
last annual election. Plans were adopted
for the coming season and an invitation
from Bro. Simmons to visit Yrsilanti
at some future date was accepted with
whoop.
st. Patrick's day was well nigh spent
when by unanimous consent resolution
was adopted declaring Bro. Keller the
prince of entertainers, and vote OF
thanks TO his estimable wife and charm
ing daughter, after which the fat men de-
parted for home to wait for spring and
good wheeling.

Study 1T Out.

Here is a highly interesting paradox,
which may amuse or bewilder, as the
case may be. 1t is supposed to have
been invented by Socrates A. says that
all Athenians are liars. A. is an Athenian
and therefore liar. Therefore his
statement that all Athenians are liars
is not true, and consequently all Athe-
mans tell the truth A. is an Athenian,
and hence tells the truth. Wherefore
his statement that all Athenians are
liars is true Therefore he is liar and
his statement false, and so on.
