END OF A GREAT EATER.
The Champion Food Destroyer OF
Belgium Had TO Leave Just
One Boiled Egg.

Belgium mourns, for the champion
eater of the country is dead, says a re.
cent report from London. An ex-
traordinary man he was. One day he
entered into an agreement with ho-
telkeeper, according to which he prom
ised to pay a fixed sum for dinner,
but stipulated that he was to have all
the food he wanted.
The sum fixed was small, and great,
therefore, was the disgust of the ho-
telkeeper when he discovered at the
end of the dinner that his guest had
eaten two stewed rabbits and a whole
calf's head.
On another occasion he ate for
a wager 10 yards of sausages and black
pudding. He recently accepted chal-
lenge to eat 20 hard-boiled eggs in
one hour, and he almost accomplished
this feat, since he devoured so in the
specified time.
The fact that he lost the wager, how
ever, and through one egg, preyed on
his mind and he became sick. Doc.
tors were summoned and said that he
was suffering from indigestion, but his
friends say that It was nothing but
worry over this one egg which made
him sick and which finally brought
him to his grave.

LoNDON'S FIRE RECORD.
Many Lives Lost and Much Property
Destroyed In England's Great
Metropolis.

Last year 1854 fires occurred in Lon
don, of which 80 were serious and 1855
slight.
Ninety-seven people lost their lives
through fire during the year and 297
were in great danger. OF the fatali-
ties. 20 occurred before the brigade
was called and ~ were found dead by
firemen. The remainder died after be-
ing taken out of burning buildings.
Two firemen were awarded the silver
medal for extraordinary bravery
practically the Victoria cross OF the
fire brigade-and % officers and men
Of the brigade were commended for
bravery.
The strength Of the brigade is now
1,173 officers and men.
In 1,195 fires the cause was unknown;
3O7 were caused by lights being thrown
down; 124 to children playing with
matches; 1875 to oil lamps and 204 to
sparks from fire. Two cases of willful
fre-setting were detected during the
year.
In connection with the fire appli-
ances at theaters and music halls, says
the London Mail, 13S defects were re-
ported in 1901. In some cases the sup
ply of water had been entirely cut off
while frequently the appliances were
useless. These defects, however, were
invariably unknown to the managers
who were only too ready to imme-
diately rectify them.

PLEASING VARIATION.
the Too Formal Public Intro
duction He Had Expected.

In that particular year the state
association Of doctors met in the
thriving young metropolis of Boon
vile.
At the close Of the sessions the
citizens gave banquet to the Wis
itors. 1t was presided over by the
mayor, a gentleman of good business
ability, but not otherwise remark
able.
The principal speaker of the even
ing was a venerable physician of
wide renown, who was known the
country over as a practitioner of ex-
traordinary attainments and an au-
thority in the treatment of diseases
in general.
His honor the mayor rose to in
-troduce him.
Gentlemen" he said, referring to
memorandum in his hand, ''the first
speaker Is Dr.--Dr.-I can't quite
make out the name, but I'm sure
he'll give you good talk"
The venerable doctor arose.
II am much obliged to our chair
man." he said, with tears of graft
tude In his eyes, "for the way in
which he has introduced me. This

PRETENDED DEAFNESS.
The Courageous Rose of . Connecti-
cut Woman Balks the Plan of
q Thievish Tramp.

I
Middletown, Conn, Is proud Of the
way in which an old woman who lives
on the outskirts of the city recent
ly tricKed tramp bent on robbery.
Her family, reports the New York
Tribune, consisting of a daughter
and the housekeeper, who in old-fash-
toned Connecticut is only little low
er socially than relative, had left
her in order to attend musical in
the church. About ten o'clock in the
evening ring was given to the door
bell that almost pulled of the knob.
The old woman hustled to the entry,
wondering what neighbor had Jared
forth SO far and SO late. She half
opened the door and put out her
head. But she was suddenly pushed
back with the door, and man en-
tered, who proceeded to state his
wants in q clear cut fashion. He
knew she was alone, he said, and he
must accordingly ask her to make .
collection of money and jewelry for
his benefit. Promptness and thor
oughness on her part, he added,
would mean courteous treatment on
his. While he was stating his case
she had put her hand to her ear as If
deaf, and when he finished asked in
a gentle voice. "Want to see John,
do you? Well, he's right upstairs.
I'll run up and ask him to come
down." But the visitor then remem-
bered that he had a pressing engage
ment elsewhere.

the keyboard and the bells is an elec-

ator touches a key the correspond

An Economical King.

King Victor Emmanuers italian
subjects are beginning to call him
stingy. The royal chefs salary OF
500 month has been cut to $50.
The contractor who caters for the
royal household of $50 persons gets
only so cents per person day, al
though he is expected to provide
three meals. The Dowager Queen
Margherita pays nearly one dollar a
person to feed 112 members of her
household. Eighty horses have been
sold from the royal stables in the
last two months, and 800 employees
and servants have been dismissed,
most of them without pensions. 1t
Is rumored that the king, fearing
that rapidly developing socialism may
upset his throne, is putting aside
money for rainy day.

The Five n. Y. Y. c. Members Who Built

NEW YORK. March 11--There is much
reason 20 believe that the Constitution

who built the yacht are Tot satisfied that
