RON A MINISTER POLITELY.

I'm = Pittsburg Pastors Horne.
An tnteresting dialogue between q minis
ter and q burglar occurred at O'Clock one
morning recently. when the Rev. DR.. Nc
Cleiiand. pastor Of the Beilefeld Presby-
terfan church Of Pittsburg. was awakened
from his slumbers and went to the door to
behold the muzzles of four pistols leyeled
At his head. The captain Of the gang said:
You will die II you don't hold up your
hands," DR.. McCleIland relates his expert
ence o. follows:
1.-THE fellow kept his pistols within few
inches OF my head He directed me to turn.
open the door and walk back to bed. My
wife was sitting up in bed crying. but the
trio followed me into the room. There was
nothing for me to do but obey.
" Have you any money!" the captain
asked.
"'You will find $5.s1 in an envelope on
the dresser marked Presbyterian hospi-
tal,"' I informed him. II you take that
money you are pretty hard up
" How did you come by it?' he ques-
toned.
:" I am q clergyman answered.
when he heard this he seemed to feel
sorry and remarked: My dear sir. had /
known this was minister's home would
not have entered. but / suppose you can get
some more money for the hospital
Then he discovered my watch on the
dresser, and asked me If it was of value. I
informed him that it was present. If that
is SO I guess we'll let you keep it, the
captain said. He ordered the searcher to
let the watch remain where 1t was. The
door of the childrens room was open. Mrs.
McClelland asked the burglars to keep out
Of there, as the little girl was sick and
nervous.
Just to oblige you, my dear madam.
the spokesman said. He kept his word,
and the room was not disturbed
''The chief then asked who occupied the
front room. told him my daughter. He
wanted to know if she had any money or
valuables. told him no. He also promised
not to disturb her.
II agreed to make no outcry when they
left"

A Mixed Diet the Best.


The vegetarians contend that flesh
eating is relic of barbarism. They ad-
jure men to conquer their inherited saw
agery by abstaining from animal food.
They argue for a vegetable diet on
grounds of economy. They point to the
Hindoo sage and the Chinese coolie as
proofs that the highest intellectual
acuteness and the greatest physical en-
durance may exist without flesh food.
Yet the masses of mankind. unless con-
strained by poverty, cling to their flesh
pots.
Prof Ferdinand Hueppe, of Berlin,
one of the most eminent of living phys
iologists, in a recent paper deals ex-
haustively with the vegetarian argyll
ment. He shows that a vegetable diet
does not necessarily produce mild and
gentle spirit. The rhinoceros and buff
falo are as ferocious as the lion and
tiger. The rice-eating Chinese and the
abstemious Hindoo are guilty of the
most revolving cruelties, especially to-
ward the weak. Without scruDle or
pity they torture women and children
deeds from which the f1eSh-eating Eu-
ropeans generally refrain.
Prof Hueppe also shows that man has
neither the teeth nor the digestive tract
of a herbivorous animal. When he con-
fines himself to a vegetable diet he is
like an overheated boiler, in danger of
explosion from using the wrong kind of
fuel-Ohio Register

The fishway is so constructed that 1t is
impossible for the fish to make clear swim

must work up the river in the eddies. for
the tide is also very strong there near the

to rub up against the boards and rest
before they begin their wcarisome fight for

1t is in the fishway that the interest Of
the average spectator Is centered, since here

PRIVATE OFFICE.
NO ADN1ITTANCE.

One of the detectives tried this door
and found it locked. Whereupon he
placed his shoulder to it and prepared
to force 1t in.
"Wait minute" said Sturgis; "let
me see if / cannot open it,"
The detective stepped aside with
quizzical expression upon his face.
81 guess you will find it pretty solid
for your weight" said he.
The reporter took from his pocket .
piece Of bent wire, and, with few
dexterous turns Of the wrist, he shot
the bolt of the lock.
"You would make an expert cracks
man." said the detective. II didn't
know you possessed that accomplish
ment in addition to all your other
ones"
The four men entered the private
Office. The room was quite dark, the
shutters being closed and the blinds
drawn. AS their eyes became accus-
toned to the obscurity they were able
to distinguish the outlines of desk,
table, and few chairs.
Sturgis went at once to a door in
the corner. With the aid of his skel-
eton key he had soon thrown this
open. After peering for an instant
into the darkness, he took from his
pocket candle, which he lighted.
Then, beckoning to his companions,
he started cautiously to descend. Tho
other men followed him and soon
found themselves in the cellar, which
they proceeded to search.
On the street side there was a recess
extending for few feet under the
ara in front Of the house. The OPEN
ing above was covered by an iron graf
ing, over which was a wooden cover
securely fastened on the inside by a
chain and paddock. A number of car
boys were carefully piled along the
east wall to within few feet from
the rear Of the building. Here, in the
northeast corner, rose narrow shelv-
ing. on which were arranged a collec-

WHEN THE DEAD AWAKEN.
Strange Events In Which COrpses
Have Seemed to Feign Life.

Strange Events In Which Corpses
Have Seemed to Feign Life.
Live persons have feigned death with
marvellous exactness, but when the dead
feign life or seem to feign life. the spec
tacle is as grewsome as can we'll be imag-
ined.
Not long ago Russian cemetery was the
been witnessed. young girl who had
been betrothed died on the eve of her
marriage, and her friends decided that, in
spite of the intervening hand CT death, the
marriage should be carried on, and the GER
emony was performed at the side Of the
grave, and after the marriage the body was
returned to the coffin and lowered to its
long resting place.
1t is less than year ago that a valuable
cup was won In a bicycle race in Australia
by man who was dead when he passed the
winning post. The race took place at an
electric light carnival so called. in the
presence of 10000 spectators. In the last
lap James Somerville, a rider, forged to
the front and secured such a lead that his
victory was assured When within 23 yards
of the finish he was seen to relax his hold
on the handle bar and to relax his hold on
the pedals. He did not fall from the ma
chine, however, and amid frantic cheers
dashed by the goal, winning the race by
half wheel. AS he passed the finishing
post he PITCHED forward and fell to the
gre und. When he was picked up he was
found to be dead. and what was more, the
doctors declared that death had come to
him when he was seen to lose his hold OF
the handle bars. 1t was dead body that
had ridden the last 25 yards of the race.
On a recent voyage the sealing schooner
Arietis was cruising about 200 miles off the
coast of British Columbia, when she sight
ed dismantled ship. The Arietis bore
down upon the derelict, and as she got near
enough a man was seen on board graspng
the wheel and apparently steering the craft.
No other sign of man was seen on the ship.
The man at the wheel was hailed. but re-
turned no answer-just STOOD there grasp
ing the spokes of the wheed and looking
straight ahead. A bCat was lowered and
the mysterious ship boarded. When they
came close to the man at the wheel they
saw with horror that he was dead and had
evidently been dead for many days. The
ship, which was named the General Siglin,
had sailed from San Francisco for Alaska.
She had clearly BEEN dislnantled In a gale
and then abandoned by her crew. The cap
tain had refused to leave the ship. and.
finding his strength failing. he had lashed
himself to the wheel and literally died at
his post. steering the craft for hundreds OF
miles with hands that held the wheel in
as firm grip as when alive.

The keeping Of vast sums of money

the ostensible purpose of redeeming one

up, Is vicious and wicked farce played
on the ignorance of the people, who.
as general thing, have made no partic-
ular study of the subject. And its only
purpose is to make and keep money
scarce. in order that this privileged
class may live without labor, on the
interest that scarce money must COM
mand.
Money stored away in the treasury or
in banks. no matter under what pretext,
Is out of use, and Is not fulfilling the
functions of it's creation. And while
there is of no earthly use to the people,
and 1t could do the people no more harm
If 1t were at the bottom of the ocean.
If our legislators were really working
for the best interests of the people.
there would be but one kind of money,
in the sense that all moneys should be
a full legal tender for all debts, and
coined and issued by the government
only. There would then be no grounds
or occasion for redemption; there might
be gold, silver or paper money in use,
but all having the same debt-paying
power, would stand on an equal foot
ing
There would then be no endless chain
for money spectators to rob the people.
And as money circulates through a
! confidence in exchange, receive it
from you and others because I have
confidence that you and others will
again receive it from me. Then why.
in honesty and reason, should we have
vast sums Of money stored away In
costly vaults, with costly keepers? Is
not the money we may have fully re-
deemed with each purchase we make?
It has performed the functions OF it's
creation, and both parties are satisfied.
II the people were once fully enlight-
ened on this subject, they would brook
no further interference from individual
or corporation, with this, the most es-
sential and important of governmental
prerOgatives, and the life blood Of
prosperity and civilization. Very re-
spectfully, J. C. PATTERSON.

When Sprague reached police head
quarters he found the reporter ready
to start with four detectives. He had
not, therefore, any opportunity for
conversation with his friend until the
party reached its destination. There
two of the detectives relieved the men
previously on duty, while the others
accompanied Sturgis and Sprague to
the office Of the Manhattan Chemical
company.
1t was after six o'clock. The place
was closed for the night and seemed
quite deserted. One of the men rang
the bell. The tinkling echoes died
away, but no sign Of life manifested
itself from within. Then he seized
the pull and piled it again repeatedly
and vigorously,
"That will do" observed Sturgis,
presently; "the old woman is coming
as fast as she can"
'What old woman?" asked the de-
tective.
II don't know. Perhaps I ought to
have said an old woman. l hear her
hobbling on the stairs.'''
The detective placed his ear to the
keyhole. After listening attentively,
he turned to the reporter with an in
credulous smile.
"Well. Mr.. Sturgis," said he, "if you
can hear anything in there, your ears
are sharper than mine. That's all l
can say"
"She is on the second flight" replied
the reporter, quietly. Nov she is in
the second-story hall-and now you
can surely hear her coming down the
last flight"
By this time, sure enough, the sound
of footsteps began to be audible to the
other three men; and presently the
door opened and disclosed the scared
face of an old Irish woman.
"And phwat might yez be wantin,'
gintlemin, to be after scarin' an ould
i, woman most to death wild yer ring
in'?" she asked, somewhat aggressive
ly.
1--WE want to see Mr.. Chatham" re-
piled one of the detectives.
"Mister who, is it?"
Thomas Cha than. Show me the way
to his room. I'll go right up, and my
friends will wait for me here"
"Mister Thomuz Chathum, is it?"
said the old woman: "well, ye've como
to the wrong house to see him, do be
thinkin', fer he don't live here"
"Come, that won't do" said the de-
tective, sharply; 1--WE belong to the po-
lice, and we saw Chatham enter this
house."
At the mention of the police, the old
hag's parchment face became a shade
yellower and her eyes glistened.
''Sure, thin, il he do be hidin' here,
it's mesilf as 'ud know it," she said,
after a short interval; "but yez can
foind 'um, if yez loike; yez can foind

Whereupon she turned and hobbled
off. leaving the intruders to their own
resources.
They found themselves in a narrow
hallway. On the right was rickety
staircase leading to business Offices in
the upper part Of the building; on the
