HUMAN OSTRICH A FRAUD.-A sim
gular case of side.show fraud has de-
veloped in Baltimore. Arthur Shut
has for several years been figuring as
"the man with an iron jaw" and as
"the human ostrich" 1t seems that
his method was to take bag of carpet
tacks, broken glass and nails and by
skillful manipulation of his right hand
transfer it, not into his mouth +; but in
side his loose shirt. He became adroit
in this and became "human ostrich"
for exhibition. He says he has ap-
peared before audiences in circuses,
sideshows and museums but had nev-
er been challenged and compelled to
swallow the articles, in fact, until Sat-
urday night week ago.
1t seems that on this occasion some
college students had made large
wager that Shut was fraud and did
not really swallow the articles which
he claimed to swallow. In order to
test the question, Shut was made to
strip to the waist, and rather than be
proven a fraud he actually swallowed
watchchains, nails, screws, pins, tacks,
knifeblades and similar articles. The
result was that the next day Shut had
to go to Johns Hopkins hospital and
be operated on to have these things
removed from his stomach. They are
now on exhibition in the hospital mu-
scum. Shut is recovering slowly and
living on liquid food-quite change
from his bill of fare as "a human
ostrich"

ed, however, and the house has resolv-
ed itself into a committee, 100 mem.
bers constitute quorum, and it rarely
happens that that number cannot be
obtained. 1t is the other 79 who are
hard to get on Friday pension occa-
sions, and here is where Mr.. Talbert
had been putting in his work.
On the first Friday when the new
rule became effective, true to his pur-
pose, be demanded a quorum, and it
was obtained. But be did not stop here,
for whenever bill came up of which
he did not like the looks-and this is
true of nearly all private pension bills
he would demand quorum, and the
scurrying and hurrying to get the nec-
essary 100 men would follow. His de-
mands became 80 annoying that plan
was devised for keeping him quiet. 1t
was more successful than any of the
cold luncheon, hot whiskey, or wait
ing-cousin schemes, since it appealed
to characteristic of Mr.. Talbert which
is always in evidence. He likes to talk
about South Carolina and his own ex-
periences, and is too polite to ask any
body attempting to talk with him to
desist. So nine of his best friends in
the house equipped themselves as for
a relay race, and one by one engaged
him in conversation on pine, sweet po-
tatoes, cotton mills, and almost every
thing that is of interest in South Caro-
lima. When a particularly atrocious
private pension bill was about to come
up, two of the relay racers would sit
with him in animated conversation,
and in that way the reins for once fell
out of his hands and a huge stack Of
private bills went through.
Mr.. Talbert has now an inkling Of
the way the scheme was worked, and
says that the committee will have to
think up some new plans to trap him,
as be will be very taciturn on the next
pension Friday.

MIR. TALBERT TRICKED.
Scheme Worked to Get Private Pension
Bills Through the House.

Scheme Worked to Get Private Pension
Bills Through the House.
New York Evening Post.
Uncle Jasper Talbert was the victim
of trick the other day when the
house passed 95 private pension bills,
said to be the largest number ever
passed there in one day. Mr.. Talbert
is the tall and severe member from
South Carolina who makes specially
of obstructing private pension legisla
tion, or at least of compelling its friends
to meet the parliamentary require
ments. Under the old rules Friday
evenings were set apart for the consid-
Grafton of private pension bills and
bills removing the charges of desertion,
but as Talbert insisted on having a
quorum present to do this business,
and as it was almost impossible to get
a quorum out on Friday evening, some
change had to be made, and so the
day session Of alternate Fridays was
selected instead.
An attempt was made before chang
ing the rule to get the resolute South
Carolinian to permit business to go on
Friday evenings without quorum
but he would not yield. Many of the
Democratic members pleaded with him
but it was no use. His reply was ''pe-
tition me no petitions, sir, today; let
other hours be set apart for business. "
The pension workers had tried to get
him out of The way by inviting him to
the house restaurant for 'congressional
cold tea," served out of a bottle with q
distillery brand on it, but this would
not work, for Uncle Jasper is very
religious man and very temperate.
They tried to get him down to a bite
of luncheon but he told them his di
gestion would not permit him to eat
late in the evening. Finally, DR.. Nor
ton, of Ohio, had Talbert notified that
some of his cousins were in town and
wanted to see him right away at the
Metropolitan hotel. That failed, too,
for when Uncle Jasper learned of the
presence of his cousins he said that he
was not half so much afraid that they
would get lost in Washington as that
some bounty.jumper or coffee-cooler
would get his hands into Uncle Sans
strong box.
In the consideration of these private
pension bills motion is first necessary
that the house resolve itself into a
committee of the whole for considera-
