Vaudeville During Lunch Time.

There is a prospect that Curriers'
restaurant,on Fulton street, New York,
may be converted into playhouse,
where continuous vaudeville will hold
forth. Merchants in the neighborhood
and their clerks are having heated dis
cussions over the probabilities of sue
cess or failure of the enterprise. The
idea is to give performances during the
day, with especial attention to the
lunching hour-say from 12 to $50
when tables will be plentifully sup
piled with the best that the market af-
fords. A citizen can pay 81 at the door
and not only obtain an excellent meal.
but see a good show while eating.

WANTS TO SELL HIS BODY.
contort,on,.t Want. cu.tomer for HI

Contortionist Wants q Customer for His
Corpse.
Although by no means desiring to
shuttle off this mortal coil, Walter
Wentworth wants to sell his body He
has done it twice already in his life
time, and now, although in his seven
ty-fifth year, he is looking about for
another purchaser, and if he finds one,
he thinks he has good chance of sur
viving him, too, says the New York
Herald. Walter is what is ordinarily
called freak" He is a contortion
tst, and the queer things he does with
his legs and his arms, and even his
spinal column, are enough to make
the eyes of the ordinary person bulge
out to dangerous extent. Even physi-
clans are puzzled at the curious way
in which he handles himself, and it
was doctor who first suggested to
Wentworth the idea of selling his
body. 1t was just sixty years ago that
Wentworth ran away from his home
near Detroit, Mich, to ride race horses.
Then he Joined a travelling circus and
went the whole world over. With all
his knocking about and the seventy
five years he carries, he is just as live
ly and supple as 15-year-old boy. 1t
was while he was being exhibited in
Detroit in 1870 that he got chance to
sell himself. DR.. Cove was greatly in
terested in him, and offered 500 for
his body after he had done with it,
for dissecting purposes. Wentworth
jumped at the offer; the money was
paid down. The doctor, however, con-
veniently died within a few months.
Wentworth came to New York five
years later, and was able on the trip
to persuade DR.. H. l.. Wilder of the
Kings county hospital to take stock
in him at the same price, case of
getting in on the basement floor If DR..
Wilder should live. He thinks DR..
Wilder will be unable to fill his part
Of the contract. He is therefore anx-
ious to find somebody else who will
invest in him.

INDIANS DEEDS TO PENNs.
Old Penn.ylvania PARCHMENT. at Harris.

Old Pennsylvanla Parchments at Harris
burg.
All the old parchment colonial deeds
and records in keeping of the state
department at Harrisburg have just
been put through a process Of preser-
vation by Secretary Of the Common
wealth Griest, says the Philadelphia
Record. For years these records have
been kept in tin boxes, and, as they
were occasionally searched, the result
was much confusion in the arrange
ment of papers. Many of the old wax
seals were lost, and the crumpled pa
pers were more or less damaged. Pc
culiar interest attaches to the Indian
signatures, which are yet quite dis
tinct on many Of the documents. A
large parchment contains the treaty of
the Penns with the sachem of the
Schuylkill Indians, and embraces the
transfer of all the tracts of land or
lands lying in or near the River
Schuylkill and it's branches, under
date of September Z, 1742. The con-
sideration for this land, as stated on

ties, 100 blankets, sixty linen shirts,
twenty hats, six coats, twelve pairs of
shoes and buckles, thirty pairs Of
stockings, twenty guns, twelve gun
locks, 300 pounds of gunpowder, 600
pounds of lead bullets, sixty hatchets,
fifty planting hoes, 120 knives, 100
pairs of scissors, 100 tobacco tongs,
twenty looking glasses, forty to-
bacco boxes, 1000 fints, five pounds of
paint, twentyfour dozen garters, six
dozen small silk ribbons, twelve dozen
rings, 100 pounds of tobacco, 400 pipes,
twenty gallons of rum and EGO. There
are several large deeds transferring
land from the Indians to the Penns, all
bearing the peculiar signatures of the
Indian chieftains, representing all
manner of animals, reptiles, fishes,
birds and insects. The most import
ant of these deeds is that conveying
to the Penns the territory controlled
by the Six Nations, for which a con-
sideration of $4,000 was paid. The sig
natures of the Indians to this docu-
ment give the Indian names and their
English signifcation.

to the entertainment of such conventions

1t Is estimated that the membership

These figures, Of course, include many

the plan is for the various orders to raise

same to be held by some central body

With this as a starter, 1t is felt that

celpts advanced the standard of the post
once to basis where the postmastcr's

nounced by Assistant Postmaster O'Rr1en
as another specimen Of petty jealousy
frequently manifested by Minneapolis
toward her twin In the published article
1r Is set forth that local conmerciaf
bodies We're influenced toga assist In large
purchases of stamps by business firms so
-that the postoflce might reach a higher
standard Even if such was the case. AS
slStant Postmaster O'Brien declares that
such loyalty shown by the business men
Is credit to the city and that Increasing
the business of the postoffice Is a com
menGatle accomplishment. Meantime, in
the month of March, when the receipts
OF the local office showed strong in
crease, the receipts of the Minneapolis
postoftlce showed a substantial decrease
In receipts, hence, Assistant Postmaster

This is false. Last August, when 1t be-
