HIS TOMBSTONE
Waited Two Years for The Death
of Ossified Man.

William A. Bloomer, the ossfieC
man who was on exhibition here {
year or two ago, died in St. Louis
Sunday. He had been becoming
more and more tho roughly ossifiec
for the last two and a half years.
The st. Louis Republic says
His troubles began in a severe case
of rheumatism. He had been in tn
fshespitai for two years and his case
fwasEegarded by physicians as the
: most rgmarkabie Of it's kind.
lBloomer was an engineer in the
UniteG States Navy and served
during President Cleveland S last
Administration.
During his stay at st. Luke's
( hospital from time to time he made
computations as 20 the date of his
deatGsand so long ago as June, 1899,
Yhe did not expect to live into this
year.
He was then entirely helpless
except he could use his fingers and
move his head on his pillow.
when he entered the hospital he
announced that he was suffering
from rheumatism. He stated that
his work had kept him exposed in
weather so severe and variable that
Me had contracted the disease from
which he suffered.
His knee joints were swollen and
mis- skin in spots was becoming
dark brown.
The physicians decided that this
was a case of rheumatoid athit-
rs.
Gradually the patients body stiff
s'ssened, his bones turning to clay
BAKE substance.
An entertainment was given for
mar. Bloomer several years ago and
the proceeds were devoted by the
invalid to the purchase of hand
some tombstone, which has now
been in position IN the Bloomer
cemetery for fornearly two years.
The invalid kept a. photograph
OF the monument near him in his
room, and often took pleasure in
hooking at it. M
he felt gratilied to Know that his
lastresting place was well and suit.

been as intentional a defiance of the
other governments of the world as
has been the murder of so many mis-
sionaries and the destruction of all
their homes and possessions. 1t is
plain that the empress and her inn
mediate advisers have been at the
back of the horrible outrages perpe-
trated by her "bashibazool" Boxers.
The allied powers owe it to civiliza-
ton to make it plain that the inter-
national compacts insuring liberty of
conscience and security against per-
scouting violence must be respected
Russia may not take great interest in
this matter, but Great Britain, France
and Germany, and japan, also, may
be depended upon to be in accord
The following are the terms of the
treaty of Tientsin:
The principles Of the Christian religion, as
professed by the Protestant and Roman
Catholic churches are recognized as tSach-
Ing men to do good, and to do to others as
they would have others do unto them.
Hereafter those who quietly profess and
teach these doctrines shall not be harassed
or prosecuted on account of-ltheir faith.
Any person, whether a citizen OF the Unit
ed States or Chinese convert. who. accord
ing to these tenets. peaceably teaches and
practices the principles OF Christianity
shall in no case be interfered with or mo-
Tested.
These terms are perfectly specifia
and unmistakable. Their renewed af.
firmation by the great powers Of tho
world cannot fail to have salutary
effect on the minds of the Chinese

QUEER DINNER GUESTS.
Animals Have Sat at Table with Recon
tric Men.


1t was the custom of the earl of
Bridgewater, who died in 1929, to
dine with IL dogs. Each animal, with
napkin round its neck, sat sedateiy =
in an armchair, behind which stood
a servant ready to attend to its wants.
The utmost decorum was observed, :
and should. any dog transgress the
rlles Of good breeding, it was ban
ished for awhile from its mas
ter's table and, dressed in livery, conlt
PEELED to take its meals in the sery-
ants hall
John Mytton, the eccentric squire
of Halston, once asked number Of
neighbors to meet at dinner particu-
lar friend of his who had Just come
from abroad They duly arrived, but
the honored guest was late, and it
was not until all were seated at table
that the door opened and there en-
tered-a large, grizzly bearl A gen
eral stampede followed, and in less
than minute Mytton and his partic-
ular friend were left to finish the meal
alone.
Not many years back cat parties
were the vogue among a certain clique
in Paris. A lady would give the en-
tertainment, to which were hidden
her friends pets, for whom a sumptu-
Gus meal was prepared, every dainty
suitable to the feline palate being pro-
vided This repast was, it is needless
to say, done ample Justice to, the cats
being waited upon by their doting
mistresses.
Last year an eccentric Austrian of
noble family, gave a dinner in honor
Of large panther that he had
brought from the east. The animd -
firmly secured by chains, crouched az
table, and partook with evident zest
Of the good things provided.
This, however, is not the only "ani-
NAL" dinner that this whimsical host
has given, for in the early eighties he
astonished his friends with invita-
tions to dine with an elephant The
animal, however, turned out to -
by no means Jumbo, being indeed N
mere pigmy Of few months old,
which, under the care of its keeper,
behaved with the greatest propriety.

A BIT OF ROMANCE.

in cemetery, and yet one could not
find a more pathetic little love story
than that told by the marking Of a
certain grave in Philadelphia's City
Of the Dead, says the Press.
In South Laurel Hillthe statue Of
woman, bearing two babes in her
arms, faces southwark from the top
Of steep rock overlooking the river
and East Paramount Park drive. This
monument Of love was hewn out by
devoted husband to perpetuate the
memory of his cherished wife and IN
fsiii cfriitirVn.
Henry Diifochowsli was a Polish
patriot who wed Helena Schaaf, in
the pretty Rhine country Of Germany,
so years ago.
1t had been his intention to live
in Poland, but, aiming to free his ma
tive land from the Russian yoke, he
was exiled after the uprising Of 1916
by governmental authorities. He
came with his wife to America, where
he took up his residence in the Quaker
city as a sculptor, under the name Of
Saunders.
In 1857 his wife, whom he dearly
loved, died giving birth to twins, who
also died. Deprived at one blow Of
his faithful companion and babes,
the bereaved man only listlessly per-
formed his daily work that he might
gain a scanty livelihood.
AT night began the work in which
he put hisheaIt.
Never seeing him as Of Told the
grew curious about the "for-
eigner," as they called him, and pry-
ing eyes soon discovered that every
night the man locked himself in his
cellar, whence the sounds Of hammer
and chisel emanated.
"No doubt he works late to make
more money" said the curious.
But the curious were wrong. Dino
chowski was hewing out an image Of
his wife and children.
In few months the monument was
finished and placed over the grave
of his loved ones. On one side of the
pedestal appeared the words:
Eve live in deeds, not years-in
thoughts, not breaths--in feelings,
not in figures on dial, we should
count time by heart throbs. He most
lives who thinks most, feels the no
bles, acts the best
While on the back one reads in

act image of his most beloved wife,
and consecrated it to her memory in
1858"
The tools with which he wrought
and likeness of the patriots face
are sculptured on other parts Of the
stone.
The most mysterious part Of the
story is that, when his task was fin
ished, Dinochowsloi disappeared as
completely as il he had never exist
ed. Whether he killed himself or
sought to drownhis grief innew lands
was neyerknown, and from that day
to this no tidings have been heard Of

Played n Joke ON the Good Man.

A good story is told on the Rev. Mr.
Hageman. At the annual meeting of the
Congregational church the question OF
hiring a preacher comes up. At one,
when the question came up. Hageman
was rather anxious. The chairman, a
good old deacon, arose, saying:
IAN those in favor of retaining Elder
Hageman for another year, at the same
salary, will please rise"
Not one rose, and Hageman felt about
as mean as mortal man could feel. But
the chairman rose again, putting this
question:
"All those in favor of keeping the Rev.
Mr. Hagemsn at an increase of salary
will please rise"
Every one rose When it dawned upon
the good elder that they had been only
joking with him, the scowl on his, face
broke away into broad grin-as an
icicle breaks away in sparkling watel
before the benefcent rays Of warm
sun. Some of his best friends had plan.

Augusta, December l1.-There Is the
contest which is promised over the effort
to dam up the waters OF the penohscot,
there is the question OF the taxes and
then there Is the Camden water fight
which while 1t may not be SO great an
issue promises to be one of the hard
fought battles Of this legislative session.
Already 1t has been the subject OF several
small passages at arms which Ire q pre-

side are large number OF the people of
Camden who allege that their town Is on
the tall end of the Rookland Water works
ana that when they have IRE buildings
are likely to burn up because while the
town has water works it gets little water
therefrom when 1t comes to the matter of
fire protection. Opposed to the Camden
people who want the town TO own its
water system is the amden and Rock
land Water company which now supplies
the village. The last report OF the water
company to the secretary of state was
made in 1897. The report shows who were
the stockholders at that time and Is as
