GaIiIeo and Urban VIII.

Galileo's wit got him into trouble when he put into the mouth of Sim- plicio, the foolish opponent of the Copernican theory in his Dialogues. |" an argument that Pope Urban VIII. had himself devised. and insisted on Calico incorporating in the work. Calico made Simplicio quote it as .n argument he had from very emineot and learned parsonage" The enemies of Calico persuaded Urban that he had been made game of," and this was the offense of which Calico was guilty. 1t was not for upholding the theory that the sun stands still and the earth moves that Calico was tried by the inquisition. Urban himself had supported the Copernican doctrines, both as cardinal sad as pope.

TOLD IN ENGLAND.
LondOn Publication Again Resurs rects the Mythical American
 Who TOadies to Royalty.

A continental hotel keeper. says . writer in the London Truth, recently confided the following story to friend of mine: Some years ago, after Queen Victoria had been staying at certain hotel. wealthy American called on ths proprietor and signified his desire to sleep If 1t could be managed, in the same apartments. the same bed, and if possi. ble, the same bed clothes, as those which had held the sacred person of her maj esty before they had been sent to the wash. Money was no object to him. What would 1t cost?
 The hotel proprietor was equal to the occasion. He thought it could be ar- ranged for 920. A bargain was struck on these terms. The millionaire duly arrived, and retired to the royal couch. No doubt he thoroughly enjoyed his nights rest, and the prospect of subse- quently electrifying his friends with the story of his regal experience. His pleas Ire must have been somewhat marred when he discovered later on that her Britanuic majesty always travelled with her own bed and bedding.

FOOTBALL ACCIDENT.
Emphasixes Fact That Only the Strongest and Physfcally Fit
 Should Be Allowed to Play.

So many accidents have been laid to the game of football and so many lads have been crippled thereby that we sell dom hear of the injuries and deaths that might have been avoided. The death of a young medical student ot Baltimore during g contest, but at time when the ball was not in play. says the New York Herald, affords a striking instance of an easily prevent ible accident.
 The victim had been a sufferer from heart disease for long time and yet was allowed to take active part in the game. His condition should have been, if it was not known to his med ical associates.
 There is no account of his having received any injury previous to the time he was stricken with collapse. No better proof of his unfitness for any extra physical exertion can be given than the suddenness of his death while he was merely resting. The lesson of the sad story is emphatic and con- vincing.
 There Is no game that requires more careful and systematic training than football and only the strongest are capable of bearing the strain. If there Is any physical weakness in the can- didate it becomes quickly manifest as he goes on with his exercises, and why such incapacity could not have been discovered in time to have saved the unfortunate youth is difficult to imag- inc.

THREE MEALS A DAY.
Relation Between . Nations Food Bills and It's Commerce shown
 by Statistics.

Statistics have been collected to show that the measure of the prosperity of country is the amount of food con- sumed by its inhabitants-in other words, that diet and commerce go hand In hand. The countries which consume the largest amount of food and drink per capita are the countries which have the lands: the countries which are abstemi- ous or moderate In their consumption of food and drink have little surplus to send away. says the New York Sun.
 The average cost of food per capita in the United States is 60 cents day; the United States stands at the head of exporting countries with an average of S1.250,000, 900 in year.
 The average consumption of food and drink in England is 50 cents per capita. and England stands second on the list of exporting countries. Germany Is the third with an export trade of more thak 1000, 900. .000. and 45 cents day the average per capita spent for food and drink (beer included).
 France has an export trade or $SOO,- 000.00 a year and the average expense to each inhabitant for food and drink Is 40 cents a day. Russia. with an ex- port trade of $375,0O0,0O0. expends 20 cents day on food and drink per capita. and Italy with $275.O00,000 of annual exports, spends IS cents day, in maco- roni. wine and other articles of diet.
 All of which convinces statisticians who have unearthed this notion of the relation of productiveness to diet that three meals day for each inhabitant" is the open door to world power in com- merce, manufactures and the surplus products of fertile soil.

DEATH OF DIR.
 BRISON HENDERSON
To the Independent.

10 tne lnuepenuent.
 Newport, Aug. 25. -Dr. Brison E. Henderson departed this life 2 t his residence in Auvergne on the 24th inst, at 7:30 a. m., and was buried at 10 a. m. Thursday, un- der the auspices of the Odd Eel lows and the K. of F., of which he was an honored member.
 Five hundred people attended his funeral, and by their own request Capts. James Tender son, John Henderson, Hons. Walter Davis, George Harrison, Marvin Hare, Glen Handel and Robt. Drum pond were pallbearers and con- veyed the body to it's last rest ing place. v>-~
 Deceased leaves a wife, four children, aged parents, two sis ters and a hos. of friends to mourn his loss.
 His death was sudden and un- expected. Almost without a note of warning he was stricken down. His large, generous heart ceased to beat and his spirit was usher ed into the presence of that al- mighty and all-wise Being who hath the issue of life and death in his hands, furnishing us an other instance of the truth of the saying, "in the midst of life we are in death.
 How vain and transitory is life. How futile mans ambi- tion, how apparently worthless all his labors. how his brightest hopes are suddenly blasted. Here was high intellectual endowment, cultivated in the best schools of learning; here was solid learn ing and eminence in professional reputation and honors; here was pure character, admired and loved from birth to death, here was a combination of personal lineaments that attracted the gaze of every beholder. No prouder step ever graced the home. No manlier person ever sat in a castle hall. All this vanished and gone. Thus goes the glory of the world.
 No longer will we see his presence, that fine, honest face, nor hear the musical voice of Brison E. Henderson.

SAiTH'S PLEA OF POVERTY
is REJECTED BY THE COURT
Bankrupt for 20 Years, Living on the
Property of Others and Con-
ceaing Thefts.

A plea for S F. Smith on the
ground that he was penniless was re
jected in the district court at Daven.
port The court ruled that the offenses
of the indictment were too fragrant to
overlook.
/ For over 20 years Smith was looked
up 10 and respected in the community.
After suspicion was turned upon him
the investigation that preceded the fl
!! ing of complaints against him showed
| that his populations ran through 30
years and that instead of being one
Of the wealthiest men in the city and
state. as supposed. he was. during the
entire two decades. a bankrupt. living
on the property of others and. adroitly
concealing his thefts by a shifting of
the securities belonging 10 the several
estates in his care.
He was a generous contributor 10
every phiianthropic and charitable
work, president of the public library
board, under whose direction the Car
ncgie library was built. president of
the society which conducts the big
mission in the levee district of Dav-
export. and no one dreamed that he
was an embezzler or that he was not
financially as sound as a rock.
The true condition of affairs came
TO Light in connection with an account
ing demanded last spring by the trus-
tees of the Oakdale Cemetery assOcia-
ton. Of which Mr.. Smith was the treas
urer. He was not able to crawl out
of this difficult situation, and was
compelled TO admit shortage of SO.
600 in his accounts. An assignment
followed in which Mr. Smith turned
over his homestead. one of the finest
properties III the state. Then the as
signees employed experts, and during
the summer the real extent of the for
mer mayors shady operations was re-
vealed.
Samuel Francis Smith was the son
of Samuel Francis Smith. d. d.. the
distinguished Baptist clergyman, who
is best known as the author of the
national anthem. My Country. 'Tis of
Thee" His brother. Rev d. \. w.
Smith. ID. D.. was president of the
Baptist Theological seminary at Ran
COON, Ind. for years.
The mystery of what Mr. Smith did
with his property and that of others
is still unexplained. He was not a
man of eXtravagant habits. The most
plausible theory seems to be that he
lost his own property in donations to
religious and educational work that
would bring him into the prominence
he liked.
He was man of vanity amounting.
in the opinion OF his associates. almost
10 insanity. and nothing delighted his
whole nature so much as to be intro
duccd from the platform of a college
chapel as the donor to the institution
and the possessor of the original man
uscript of the national song his father
wrote.
