NOVEL SUICIDE CLUB.
One Orsanissd In New jersey which
Has Liberal and singular Conai-
iOns Governing Its Members,

A suicide club is the latest organi-
cation in New Brunswick, N. j., which
probably is the home of more wise
and foolish clubs than any other city
of equal population in the world. The
organizers of the suicide club say it is
a joke, but the police OF the town
cannot see it that way. Special
sleuths are detailed to follow the
members in order that they may be
forcibly restrained from diverting
themselves from life.
According TO the constitution and
bylaws, one OF the members must
die every year, but he is allowed to
choose his own year and his own
way of dying, being allowed choice
of anything from wedding cake TO
old age. If he does not feel like TAX
ing flyer into the grent beyond him
self, he may deputize one of his fell
lows to take his place. There are
special bylaws forbidding suicide in
hotels or private houses, barns or va
cant lots, lakes, seas or rivers. ANY
member choosing a jump out of a
balloon must furnish his own balloon.

TURNS HIS HAIR GRAY.
Thriliins Experience of n Painter in
Midair. 12A Feet from
the Ground.

Joseph Henry SPeer, boss painter,
was engaged by the town of Bloomfield,
n. j., to climb the flagstaff in the park
to replace rope broken during re-
cent storm To prevent being watched
by q gaping crowd, Speer selected four
O'Clock in the morning to do the work.
He took off his coat and vest, and, ad-
justing his spurs, began the ascent.
Speer reached the top, 125 feet from
the ground, at daylight, and, to avoid
accident, tied one end of the rope
around his left arm. He WAS just in
the act of putting the new ropo
through the pulley below the eagle
when he felt a tug at the rope. He
slipped and hung head downward, ex-
pecting every second to be dashed to
death.
The rope held firm, however, and
then Speer managed to release himself
and slide down to the cross bar, half
way down, where he remained for half
an hour before picking up courage to
continue the descent. When he finally
reached the ground, Speer found that
Policeman Lawrence H. Shorter had
picked up his coat and vest, and who
was the one who tugged at the rope.
Speer's thrilling experience has COM
pletely unnerved him and turned his
hair QraY,

HE KNEW ALL ABOUT BEARS.
Farrell Kn0ws More Now, Having
Paid Two Finsers for HIS
Knowledge.

In the course of visit to the ZOO
logical gardens in Bronx park, New
York city, the other day John FAR
rell acquired some wisdom concern
ing the disadvantages of associating
too intimately with bears. For his
experience he traded two fingers.
There was crowd around the bear
pits watching the huge animals, who
were close to the bars, begging for
dainties, when Farrell came up with
bag of peanuts. Formerly he was
employed as an assistant in the park,
and he knew the animals, or thought
he knew them. He Immediately
pushed through the crowd in front
of the pit where the polar bears are
kept, and climbed the rail there.
Just as Farrell was explaining that
he knew all about the animals the
first bear to arrive took into his
mouth the offered peanuts and the
hand that held them. There was
shout of pain and terror from Farrell
and a growl from the other bear
which was also trying to get grip
The first bear made no remarks; Just
hung on like grim death to the hand
until Keeper Hoey came up with a
heavy bar and hammered him over
the nose and head. Then no backed
off, growing furiously. They took
Farrell over to the refreshment house
and sent for an ambulance that took
him to the Flower hospital.
The surgeon said that there wasn't
enough left of the middle finger of
his right hand to be of any use, and
that the third finger would very like
ly be lost, too. But for the interfer-
ence of Keeper Hoey the angry animal
would doubtless have drawn the
mans whole arm in through the bars,
in which case the other bear would
have secured hold, and there
wouldn't have been any arm left.

HoBoEs TO HOLD CONVENTION.
Meet at Britt, Ia, Au-
gust 40.

Britt Qa.) is to have q novel eonven-
ton August 90, 1t is the second an
aual convention of the National So
eiety OF Hoboes or Tourists union"
and the Weary Willies" are already
making preparations to be present
from all over the United States.
Onion" Cotton, of Danville, ILL.,, is
president, and Charles +. Noe, of Syca-
more, is head piper. A special box
car will bring a delegation from Chi
eago.
The meeting was held last year at
Danville, H., and was a great sue
cess. Britt is honored this year be-
cause it has large membership in it's
local organization, among its honored
members being Senator Thomas A.
Way, Col. I. A. Potter and Col. w. Z.
Bradford. The local organizations are
known as tourists unions, and the one
at Britt is making extensive prepar-
ations for the convention. A large
number of box cars have been engaged
for the accommodation Of the Wis,
itors.
The button worn by the members
always invites query as to what the
organization is. A lot of young men
in Illinois conceived the plan of form
ing tramps union in spirit of fun.
Formulating set of bylaws they
bought the buttons, advertised the
tourists unions as n congregation of
tramps for mutual benefit and Improve
ment, the only admission fee being ten
cents for button. An applicant for
membership must be willing to pan
handle dockie;" he must prefer to
ride brake beam to palace coach.
In the same spirit of fun thousands
sent dime and joined the union, and
II is the most democratic society ever
known. One of the bylaws forbids
giving brother more than 20 cents
at time, 25 cents for food and Is cents
for drink. There are over so members
in the union at Britt.

TRAMP HAD SPECIAL ENGINE.
Not knowing How to Run 1t, He
Causes IA Wreck, But Escapes
Serious Injury.

In an attempt to get free ride
the other night, William st. Clair,
tramp, wrecked locomotive and tore
up 40 rods of track. The engine was
standing in the yards at Ouray, Col,
and St. Clair entered the cab and
pulled open the throttle. After get
ting out on the main line the engine
was soon beyond his control. There
was not steam enough to hold it on
the heavy down grade between Ouray
and Ridgway. When about five miles
out of town the engine was seen by
an agent of the railway company. 1t
passed him at terrific speed, and i'm
mediately afterward, on rounding
sharp curve, jumped the track. Rails
and ties were torn, twisted and
broken. The tender was split from
end to end, and the engine. after
humping along on the ties for 40 rods,
rolled over wreck. ST. Clair, who
was hanging from the cab waiting
for an opportunity to jump, was
thrown nearly so feet into the brush,
but beyond slight scalp wounds es-
capped injury. He was arrested.

IN THE GRASP OF AN OCTOPUS.
sailor Is Killed by Devil Fish
While Swimming Near
His ship.

Jules De Bar, sailor on the bark
Olympic, was dragged down by devil
fish while taking swim near his ship.
His shipmates saw him dive, and watt
ed for him to come up, AS he failed to
appear, they became alarmed, and made
a search, withoutresult, Twenty -four
hours later his body was found, with
the face and part of the body eaten
away, and bearing plain marks of the
tentacles of a devil fish. 1t is supposed
that he dived to the bottom, and was
seized by the fish and held down until
he drowned. Several cases of this kind
are on record. The natives are often
seized by devil fish, but they promptly
hit the fish on the head, and it releases
the grasp of its tentacles.

A Wonderful Offer to Women.

We have received word of y
most remarkable offer which is to
be made to women by the Delin-
Gator, of New York.
Taking the fact that next year
begins new century, The Dehn
Gator offers to distribute Sl7, 500
among 1901 women. The plan is
so cleverly arranged that woman
living in q small town or village,
has just as good chance to win
Que Of these 1901 prizes as wo.
man living In city-because the
prizes are gwen for the number of
subscriptions secured in a town in
proportion to the population of
that town, instead of being given
simply to those who send the larg-
est list Of subscri6ers-which, of
course, are most easily obtained
in big cities. Another clever fea.
ture of the plan is, that all the
cities and towns of the United
States and Canada have been ar
ranged in seven classes. The
cities of the greatest population
grouped IN class /, and as these
cities are not very many, the
prizes offered are twenty eight;
the highest prize being $500, and
the lowest IS. The total amount
of prizes gwen away in this class
is $1,000. The remaining smaller
towns and villages fall into six
other classes, and as the number
of towns in class increases, be-
cause, Of course, there are more
small towns than large ones, the
amount Of prizes given away to a
class increases, so that in class 7,
there will be $4,000 distributed
among Col winners
Further more, to everyone who
fails TO win one of the 1901 prizes
there will be paid an extra CON-
mission on subscriptions, provided
they equal one out of every two
hundred inhabitants of the town
from which the contestants sends
them.
This is altogether very liberal
offer, and one which the famous
delineator is well able to make
good. From our point of view,
we do not see why such an offer
needs to be made by the publish.
ers Of the Delineator, for we be-
