SUCCINCT COMMENT
Gin CITY AFFAIRS.

If there isn't an ordinance in the laws
of this city, prohibiting the erection of
signs across the streets of Manitowoc,
there should be one passed and put in
force Immediately. There is no town
of any pretention this side of New York
which permits the Anticipated custom.
For one reason why they should be pro-
hibited, is that signs placed across side
walks are dangerous ut any time. An
other reason is that they detract from
the appearance Of IA thoroughfare. Down
with these signs.

GREATEST MYSTERY OF ALL.

The New York Herald, using the
Donnelly cipher, claims to have dis
covered that Bacon wrote the Psalms.
1t finds that the name Shakespear con-
tains four vowels and six consonants.
The key number is, therefore, forty
six Counting forty-six words from
the beginning of the forty-six psalm,
one reaches the word shake in the
first portion. Then going to the
last portion and counting forty-six
words from the end of the psalm, one
reaches the word "spear." There is
"Shakepear'' as plainly as letters car
make it. The Donnelly cipher, indus
triously applied, is calculated to I'M
lock all mysteries, even the mystery

The Walt Of pekin

Writing 81 the city Of Pekin, the Lon
don Engineer says that the walls OF the
Tartar city are Of an average height Of
20 feet, but portions Of the north wall
reach the height Of 81 feet. Their aver
age width is about 40 feet. but they have
been built so irregular that in places a
width Of IS feet is found, in others a
width Of only % feet. The outer face Of
the wall is perpendicular, while its inner
face slopes, IN some places very consider
able. Parapets are erected on both inner
and outer faces Of the wall. that on the
latter being loopholed and crennelated.
At Intervals of about 80 or 90 yards are
large buttresses,ev every sixth being OF much
larger size than the others The smaller
ones are about 5 feet to 20 feet square
Part Of the inner brick lining having fallen
away from the north wall an opportunity
was afforded Of observing its construction.
Near the gates are occasionally faced with
stone, but in other parts by immense bricks
which bear a strong resemblance to stone
The space between the facings is filed up
first by a solid foundation Of concrete Of
some 10 feet in depth. then by layer Of
well rammed earth; another layer of con-
crete an another of earth succeed, the lat
ter being paved with large blocks Of gran
tie, which form the terreplein. The earth
to fl in the wall was taken from the
ditch which surrounds the city. The con-
crete resisted all the efforts of our sap
pers to form a trench on the terreplein
during the last war. Each of the gates
has a buttress on either side connected
with a sen.i-circular wall, With thus
forms an enceinte. That of the central
south gates is larger than any of the others
and is the only one with three entrances,
the central gate being for the use of the
Emperor or his family alone. The arches
of the gateways are we'll built.

Fell From Second Story.

Marvin. the young son Of Mrs. Minnie
Luray, 726 N. Queen street, had a re-
markable fall from a second story VIM
dow and miraculously escaped being in
iured. The child, who is only two years
old, was running after cat on the second
floor. When near a window the cat made
a sudden turn, but the child kept straight
ahead and pitched headlong out of an open
window.
The child landed on the brick pavement,
about fifteen feet below.
Those who saw it fall expected to pick
ii up dead or seriously injured. Instead
they found it only little bruised. He
was carried into the house and in less
thar half an hour was running around
again.
His chin was a little skinned and his
limbs slightly hurt, which were the only
injuries he sustained by the hard fall.
The child is very healthy and plump and
how h. fell such distance onto hard
pavement without being seriously injured
IS a mystery.
