GOVERNOR TANNERS CASE.
What DR.. Nicholas Sem Is Ouotsd as Say
ing About 1t.

Chicago, April 30.-The Chronicle
quotes DR.. Nicholas Sem, the, distin4
guished surgeon. with reference to the
case of Governor Tanner, as follows:
Governor Tanners chances for recov-
cry are slight. His malady is n dan
gerous one and in his present condi-
ton an operation can be performed
only as last resort. Whether even
that will save his life is doubtful. The
governor knows the seriousness of his
affiiction, is bearing up heroically and
will submit to an operation if the next
few days developments indicate that
it is imperative. His strong constitu-
ton and wonderful will power are

RefrIEerated Eggs.

Eggs become unwholesome when
kept in refrigerators. A fungus forms
in them which Is easily found by the
microscope, although IL is not noticea-
bic TO the taste. The fungus consti-
tutes a danger when we consider how
many eggs areseoRsumed by all classes
OF society, and people Of delicate con-
stitutions ought to be particularly care
full that they eat fresh aud not kept
eggs.

not read, which would give Richmond a
population of 10000. The Richmond Times
has discovered that on one block as many
as fourteen persons were skipped by the
census enumerators. Mayor Taylor says
that thousands have been overlooked in the
city, and that there are thousands more
outside of the city, who receive the benefits
of citizenship and should be taken into the
city.
Expansion Is now a popular idea in Rich
mond. This Is the only solution. Outlying
villages like Barton Heights, Chestnut Hill.
Lee District and Fulton Heights should all
be taken under the parental roof If this Is
not satisfactory then have more expansion,
until a sufficient amount of the State has
been taken in the city limits to give the
desired population.

The news comes from Paterson, N. j.,
that the Rogers Locomotive Works, one
of the Oldest and largest of its industries
will shut down December LIST on account
of the business having become Improbable.
This means that one-tenth of the inhabi-
tants will face the winter without employ
ment A thousand workmen from the shops
attended a meeting the other night to see
IL any arrangements could be made to
continue the works in operation. The rich
men of Paterson would agree to nothing
unless Rogers would turn over his plant
to them and supply them with the capital
to run it. At this meeting comparatively
poor men offered to subscribe 100000 to-
wards reorganizing the plant, but 1t will
take 100000 to accomplish 1t. Judging
from the speeches made, Mckinley will
lose some of these votes. One speaker
said: "You workmen have made these
works. You have built the locomotives
that will haul you when you are forced to
steal ride looking for work, for you can
not find it in Paterson. When you are
stealing ride behind the locomotive you
made-for you cannot pay your fare-re-
member about the full dinner pail Con-
slider it's many apartments, and thank
God you are an American workingman
and bless the kind people who were good
enough to give you work SO long"

should not be removed to Birmingham.

q Tie was a hobo from his shoes up. His
face was black and grimy. Soap! he would
have none of it. All he wanted in this
world was beer He carried newspaper

tbe brown paper parcel of the immortal
Jingle, contained his entire wardrobe and
his sideboard Also His clothes were a
work of art-they harmonized so well with
his face. He looked as If he mad just
stepped out of a comic picture in Puck. He
seemed to be living up to the ideal OF
tramp. In his line he was an artist, but
his success did not dazzle him. He was
unaware of It, Had he known 1t, 1t might

He had seen better days. They all have.
Once he was a compositor on newspaper.
This is where he got his face black, hand
ling the type. He lost his job through
drink Then he proceeded to lose himself.
How he lived no one knew He wandered
through the streets at night. No one ever
saw him in the day. Halt dazed with
drink or dope, he would stagger into the
office at night when the paper was being
got ready for the morrow The lights
probably attracted him as they do the
moths in summer. He would be ordered
out, but night after night he would return.
Something about the air Of the office re-
called old times to his half-dazed brain.
I noticed that he spoke good English
when he tried. After a drink or two he
would brace up and talk to you If you
would let him. His eyes glared out of his
grimy face, and he was so unsightly that
no one would allow him to talk to them.

money now and then. He always took 1t
without a word. He would have taken a
kick the same way. 1t did not occur to
him to protest at anything. He was not
kicker-anything was good enough for him

did anything good. I doubt If he ever did

the advantage of the railroads, and is one
reason why railroad travel has become so
perfect in this country. Every little town
wants railroad, the people can get
away Instead of migrating in large bodies,
like the Goths and Vandals of old. they
migrate by families and individuals. 1t
would be interesting to know the destina-
ton of your felow-passengers on train,
and the reasons of their going. This ten
dency of the Americans to travel some
times amounts to a mania. Cases have
been known where staid and respectable
clGzen has suddenly without any reason
boarded train and ''lit OUT for SOME
place, he knew not where, This is more
common than is generally supposed.
Who has not felt strong desire, when
watching train leaving station, to get
aboard and Tight out?" 1t is something
similar to the tendency to jump off of
high tower when gazing down at the
ground. 1t is this eccentricity which pro-

plain and unflattering returns of the United

the spines of those cities which have been

city directory contains the names of every
body in town. They count these names and
multiply it by two and a half-the result
being the city's population. A school CEN
