A MONTH OF HICCOUGHS.

$$-$
MONTH OF HICCOUGHS.
More than a month ago Martin
Van Allen, Chicago, real estate
dealer, ate something that did not
agree with him. That night he
had an attack of hiccoughs which
continued all night. In the morn
ing physician was called in, but
could do nothing to relieve the
patient, and, after a consultation
had been held. Mr.. Van Aliens
life was dispaired of. Fer solid
month the hiccoughs continued,
the patient, who is nearly seventy
years old, failing steadily, but still
keeping a grip on life: AS last
resort electricity and osteopathic
manipulation were tried and the
spasms ceased. The recovery of
Mr.. Van Allen is considered one
of the most remarkable on record.

RATS SUFFER FROM PLAGUE.
Infected rats were the cause of
the recent severe plague in Glas-
gov, Scotland. Several of the ami
mails were caught in the Central
Station hotel and were found to be
suffering from the disease. It was
in this hotel that the plague first
got good Roadway.
A FAIR CUBAN LOVES A MONKEY.
Lieut.. Joaquin Calabiero, form
erly Of the Cuban army, became
jealous of pet monkey belonging
to Sonora Rosalie Albrue of Long
Branch, N. j., and stole the crea-
ture. He was arrested and con-
victed of larceny. During the
trial it developed that the act was
prompted by jealousy.
Sonora Albrue naively admitted
that the monkey ate at the same
table with her, drank from the
same glass and would hug and kiss
her. Mary Kirby, a Long Branch
girl, swore she saw Calabiero give
the monkey to Capt. Tito Ruanes
in Long Branch.
WILD MAN WAS WHOLE SHOW.
William Lacey, negro, 80 years
of age, visited the American con-
sulate at Berlin few days ago and
related remarkable story of hard
ship. Lacey says he came to Ger
many on a tramp steamer last
March, and became stranded in
Hamburg.
There bogus circus manager
offered him 40 marks a month to
impersonate wild man in trav-
cling show. He took the job, and
discovered few days afterward
that he constituted the entire
show and menagerie.
He was compelled to live in
cage, bedded in straw and take his
food through iron bars. During
exhibition hours attendants prod
ded him with a pitchfork to make
him execute weird dances to the
accompaniment of goulish yells.
One day the proprietor died, and
he was released. He was given
transportation to Dixie.

A SPARROW CRUSADE.

Denver is about to marguerite a
war for the determination of En-
glish sparrows. The city council
will be asked to appropriate sum
for the purpose, and experienced
men will be employed to fight the
little pests. The plan is to start
out in the main nesting season in
February and March and ruth
lessly destroy every nest and
young bird they can discover.
The sparrows have multiplied very
rapidly in Denver during the last
decade and have already driven
song birds away. The authorities
say that if their increase is not
checked soon they will monopolize
the town in a few years.

HE WANTS TO BREAK THE BANK.

The Earl of Rosslyn has a
scheme to break the bank atMonte
Carlo, like the man in the song.
He has organized company to
back him, and spends hours daily
playing against an imaginary
banker. Two weeks ago Lord
Rosslyn engaged a noted French
croupier to deal for him while he
perfected his system.
The croupier arrived in London
Nov. 2. The next day he went to
the apartments Of Lord Rosslyn
where he dealt cards two hours in
the morning and again in the
afternoon, while Rosslyn placed
valuable stakes according to sys.
tenn he has invented.
The result of the first days play
against the croupier was win OF
$11,32
On Tuesday, Nov. 5, the game
was resumed. At the end of the
day, after several heavy imaginary
losses, the earl won $1,000.

A BLUE GRASS ROMANCE.

j. M. Kidwell and Miss Lucy
Wilson, both of Louisville, KY,
were married on the front platform
of a street car one day last week.
Kidwell is 60 years of age and a
grandfather, having been twice
married before. The bride is 40,
and this is her first offence. Kid
wells progeny did not take kindly
to the idea of his again entering
into the marriage state, and when
they heard the event was to be
pulled off gave chase.
The bridal pair fed; the de-
scendants went after them. The
bridal pair jumped car to High
land, followed closely by two gen.

A NEEDLE IN ITS HEART.

An OK lived seven months with
needle in it's heart. How it
managed to live, or why it insisted
on setting at naught all precedent,
are questions that puzzle medical
men. The OK in question was
killed last week at Swift's Chicago
packing house. He was in per-
feet health at the time he was led
to the pen.
The organ with the needle i'm
bedded in the muscles is now in
the possession ola Chicago medical
college. It is to be taken before
the Cook County Medical Associa-
ton for special examination and
discussion. It has been photo
graphed and eastern colleges and
associations have requested that it
be sent to them for further investi-
cation and study.
When the discovery was made
several days ago the heart was
taken directly to DIR. Frances
Dickinson, and she examined it in
company with DIR. Evans, patho-
logical expert Of the Cook county
hospital. It was then placed in
alcohol, and since has been re-
ga1ded as the greatest curiosity OF
the age among medical men.

At midnight Tuesday the licenses had
by the saloons here will expire and the
saloons will all be closed the next day.
Thus far not one of the saloon keepers
in the city has applied for either State
of city license. This action was caused
by the City Council raising the license
fee from $500 to $500 per year. The
liquor men say they cannot afford to
pay more than $500, and unless Council
backs down and reduces the fee that
they will all close their places. The sit
uation is now rather interesting and
the final result is anxiously awaited.

Items of Interest to Stockholders
Gathered From Our Exchanges.
The March earnings of the United
States Steel Company showed surplus
after bond interest and chargings off for
depreciation, of $S,000,00O. March is
not particularly good month.
The Railway & Engineering Review
says: '.The present struggle for the
ore lands by the great combination and
the independent companies has carried
the area of production far north OF the
old lines. All the fine Lake Superior
ranges are now still buying lands and
closing options. The demand for steel
has temporarily abated, but buyers are
merely taking their breath. Consump-
tive requirements are increasing and
a further revival of demand is prob
able in early summer. steel ra-. mills
are booking large orders. Bridge and
structural material work is opening up
faster than facilities can take prompt
care of. Dillets are high and conces-
sions solicited are turned down. Bar
mills are sold up to early summer. The
situation will not be modified for some
time to come and the first important
1actor to be taken into account will be
the great increase in capacity of blast
furnaces and steel plants
The auditors of the different compa-
mics in the IT, S. Steel Company have
made their reports for the March 81
quarter and the showing is stated to be
an agreeable surprise to the managers.
The largest net profits We're made
by the Carnegie Company, and the sec
ond largest by the Steel & Wire Com
pany.
One of Mr.. John w. Gates associates
avs: Il look for big advance in both
the preferred and common stocks of u.
S. Steel, though not right away. In fact,
/ believe the common stock will have
a greater rise than the preferred, from
an investmnt point of view. The pre-
ferred is more desirable, but the specu-
lative element will doubtless turn to the
common stock.
The u. S. Steel Corporation will be
the means of placing the steel and iron
industry of this country on a steady
and profitable basis, and while some of
&c companies which entered the COM
blnation did so at a sacrifice, it is about
certain that it will all work out for
lneir good in the end. The earnings
of railroads depend largely upon the in
dustrial conditions of the country, and
if the q. S. Steel Company, as the large
producer of iron and steel does not
earn enough to pay the dividend re-
quarements On the preferred stock, and
substitute dividends on the common,
there lis no good reason to expect that
the railroads of the country will be able
to maintain their large earnings or large
dividends either I loo for hoth rail
road and industrial stocks ultimately
to sell higher, and 4 believe that people
who are selling their stocks now will
have to buy lnem back at still higher
prices
j. w. Gates says: Il am a great be-
lever in the future of the United States
Steel Company. | am a large holder
Of its stock. | venture to predict that
the preferred will sell at lis and tho
common at 70 before July L.
