With this remarkable exhibit of the
higher wages paid to American labor
the democratic party will appeal to
the wage-earners to place the admin
istration of this country in democrat
ic hands, the sole result of which
would be to restore the era of low
wages, to eXtinguish the fires of hope
in the workingman's ambition, to ex-
tinguish the fires in the furnaces Of
their factories and to cause the pro-
duction of a different table in a few

the "roof of the world"-and IN the
country of Kublai Khan. BE rode
$500 miles on horseback, came back,
wrote a book and won the gold medal
of the Geographical society. He en-
tered the war with Turkey as lieuten-
ant and emerged from it as colonel.
For God, the car and country" was
the motive of all his deeds, and this
faithfulness was not without it's effect.
Slowly he rose on the ladder of adj
vancement, until in 1898 he was made
absolute master, under the car, of the
armies of all the Russias. Kuropat-
kin's rank will probably give him COM
mand of the allied forces in China.

THE HUMAN OSTRICH.
Arthur SHUT. "A GIass-Eatcr. Not Yet
Out of Danger.

BALTIMORE. March 19.-Arthur Shut,
the man with the Junk shop stomach ~
who was successfully operated upon last
week by Professor Haisted at the Johns
Hopkins Hospital for the removal from
his stomach of screws, pins, knives. watch
chains, dog chains. nails, tacks, and sim
liar articles was much better yesterday
than he had been since the operation. He
was conscious and talked with little ef-
fort. He is not out of danger SHUTS
father was one of the boss workmen who
helped TO construct the Johns Hopkins
Hospital.
Shut began practicing his Iron jaw
act about five years ago. 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 inside his loose shirt. He be-
came adroit in this, and became human
ostrich for exhibition. He says he has
appeared before audiences in circuses,
sideshows, and museums, but had never
been challenged and compelled to swallow
foreign substances until last Saturday
night a week ago He was then trying
TO impose his chewing act upon some stu
dents on a large wager. They made him
strip to the waist and Shut actually swal-
lowed chains, nails, and other objects
These are now on exhibition in the hos
pital museum.
Shut is kept as quiet as possible. His
bed is isolated from the rest of the ward
by a tall folding screen. Liquid food is
given him twice or three times day.

NEW YORK. March l9.-While the early
dealings in the Stock Market were char
acterized by considerable irregularity of
movement, a generally firm undertone
prevailed throughout the market. The
weakest features were Brooklyn Rapid
Transit Metropolitan Street Railway, and
Third Avenue. The latter stock opened
materially above its final figures Of Satur-
day, but il soon developed reactionary
tendency. The railway list was strong.
with q material gain scored in Burlington
and Quincy, st. Paul, and Baltimore and
Ohio issues.
The London market was reported very
strong and foreign houses were buyers
here of round amounts of various stocks
upon the opening of business. Sugar Re-
fining continued the active feature OF the
industrial quarter, but otherwise the deal
ings were not extensive. The features Of
the bond market were the Detroit, Mael-
nae and Marquette Land Grant bonds,
which scored a further rise. To some eX-
tent active interest in the market was
held in restraint both by threatened la
Dor troubles in Chicago and also by the
misgivings as 10 the actual operations of
the Currency law and their effect upon
the market.
