was at it's height that the bystanders
were startled by the loud and contin-
uous screaming of some one in their
rear. Turning they beheld a big,
swarthy negro yainly endeavoring to
climb over the side of his wagon,
which was backed up against the
wharf, and in the bottom of which his
foot and leg seemed to be caught. Sud-
denly there was rip and a tear, a
portion of the mans trouser leg gave
way and he dropped to the ground.
BY this time the crowd had gath
cred nearer the wagon, in which they
beheld, lying on his back, frantically
waving his webbed feet and angrily
shooting out his head at intervals, an
immense swapping turtle. In the rep
tiles mouth there was, a square piece
of cloth which matched in color the
pantaloons the negro wore. The tron-
BILE was explained at a glance.
The negro, in loading his wagon, had
gone too near the turtle, which, angry
over treatment it had received,
grabbed the first thing within its
reach upon which to wreak it's venge-
ance. The jaws came together with a
snap, missing the negro, but catching
the clothing.
The threatening look in the little
eyes frightened the man, who turned
as he felt something grab his neither
garments, and he shrieked and at
tempted to get away, the cloth could
not stand the tug of war and gave
way.

Typographical convent1on.


CINCINNATI, Aug. 16.-The Inter
national Typographical union, which
has been In session here all the week,
has disposed of more than 300 PROPOSE
tons for changes in its laws, as well
as many resolutions. The spirit of the
convention was most emphatically
shown in the adoption of resolution
against socialism. Max Hayes of
Cleveland had been elected as dele
gate of the International Typograph-
ical union to the next convention of the
American Federation of Labor, and
delegates claim that they did not know
he was socialist until after he was
elected, and for this reason a strong
resolution of instructions was adopted.
The following is the resolution re-
ferred to: Resolved, That our dele
gates to the next convention of the
American Federation of Labor do not
work or vote for any proposition that
has for its object the placing of the
American Federation of Labor on rec
ord as advocating socialism or any
other noli4sne,1 49, sr-,r y

Private William Kennedy of Co G

He gave the guard a hard luck story

Assistant Surgeon DR. T. J. Kilmar-
tin of Go G played joke upon the
members of the Sarsfeld guards of
New Haven on Thursday night. The
local member of Colonel SUCKERS
staff was passing through the street
of the above company, which was the
scene of much animation. In senior
ian tones he ordered every man to go
to his tent and all made a mad rush
for the tents thinking that the officer
of the day confronted them. One lieu
tenant was too wise, however, and he
recognized the voice or DIR k1lmart1n.
The men, much abashed, came out of
their tents more slowly than they en-
tered them.
The last night in camp was very
lively. In a number of the streets
band concerts were given. The street
presented a cheerful and very inviting
appearance, flags being much in evi-
dence in the decorations. There were
rows of Chinese lanterns. The blank
ct brigades were at work and in Co G.
and Co III streets Privates Soda Water
Mccarthy, William Client, Henry
McKeon and Hawthorne felt the thrill
ing sensation of an excursion heaven
ward in a blanket. Camp was very
enjoyable this year, though the boys
had to work hard. It was with sad
feelings that they tore up their tents
this morning and started for home.

oxer-supp1x OF uocrors.

There are few countries of the civ
ilized world in which the supply of
medical men is not more than equal
to the demand. Probably Russia is
almost the only exception. In Great
Britain competition among doctors
is painfully acute, and a similar
statement applies with equal force
to France and Austria. 1t is notori-
Gus that the evil is more accumulated
in the United States than in any
other part of the globe, and that, un-
less steps are taken to restrict the
output, the situation from being
serious will become absolutely alarEn-
ing. In Germany the aspect of af-
fairs, viewed from the physicians
standpoint, can hardly be termed en-
couraging, for the practicers of the
healing art increase and multiply oqs

cHINAMAN AND THE PEN.

ment and took ditto j pensAop FOR re

that there WAS lnofRiHg serious the
matter with it, the only tFohble being
that he had neglected to do some little
thing in using it. Then he began to
take the pen apart for the newspa-
perman's instruction, so that he might
see how very simple thing it is, re-
lates the Philad eIphia Record.
'tSimple!" cried the indignant own
er of the instrument, sit is as compli-
Gated as a Chinese puzzlei I don't
wonder that cannot make it go when

The penman laughed.
'sYou remind me- he said, shat
there is Chinaman in this town who
used a stylegraphic regularly. He
came here to buy one several years
ago, and when I showed it to him he
began to take it all apart. i hurriedly
stopped him, supposing that he would
do it an injury, but he at once put
down the value of the pen, saying that
it was his, and then continued the dis
section of it. I give you my word that
he handled the pen more deftly than
the man who made it, and in five min
utes he had put it together again SO
hat it worked better than it did at
first. Those fellows beat the world at
understanding little details. Now, an
Tx-Se r L.
pardon-could never have done that;
and, remember, it was the first pen of
the kind the Chinaman ever saw.

in few days. F.. =. Downing of St. Paul
is working on the preliminary survey.
Permission has already been received

made for placing toll booths I'M the vari-

headway that it will be able to announce

and fruit growers in this section are also
greatly interested and many will in time
be connected with the exchange.
The company gives assurances that the
service will be flrstrelass in every re-
spect, with day and night central Office.
No stock has as yet been issued, but many
inquiries have been made with requests
for stock and the company will have album

The new system will also afford much
