MUST SLEEP INWARDLY.
Passaic Man Has Not Slept for Twenty
Years.

A dispatch from Passaic n. J.. last night
says: This city has an unusual freak in
Jacob Casteline of No. 453 Harrison street
who says he has not slept for the last
twenty years. The mans neighbors bear
witness to his wakofulness, and he declares
that, although he has consulted many able
physicians here and elsewhere. none have
been able to relieve him of his strange all

Gasoline was born in Holland sixty-seven
years ago, and came to this country when
he was but sixteen years of age. When he
was young man his wife became i'll, and
the Doctors bills began to pile on him.
The worry over this made him pass many
sleepless nights, and as he grew older the
nights that he slept became fewer.
Since he passed his forty-seventh birth
day he has not slept a wink, he says He
has taken all kinds of medicine and spent
hundreds of dollars in trying to make HIM
self sleep. but has found nothing that will
do him any good. Physicians who have
seen the old man say that he must sleep
"inwardly' or his strength would give out.

WAsPs GOT BUSY IN CHURCH.
Built Nest in Elders Hat-Put We'd
ding Party to Flight.

A dispatch from Susquehanna, Pa, last
night says: The congregation in the little
red school house at Grays Corners was
unusually large last Sunday. it having been
noised abroad that. at the close OF the
service, two popular young people would
be united in marriage by Elder Elkanah
Swift The school children had nicely dec
grated the room with flowers and ferns.
Before starting for the school house Mrs
Swift, who is up-to-date, suggested that
the elder ought to wear his silk hat. as the
occasion was an unusual one. Going to the
loft where the hat had been stored for
years, Mrs Swift secured the ancient tile
and placed it upon the elders head, and
the old man trudged along toward the
schoolhouse. Arriving there, the elder
placed the hat upon the teachers table.
The bridegroom and bride-tO-be sat on the
front recitation bench.
The service opened. Elder Thompson of
fered a thirty-minute prayer the choir
sang what Will the Harvest Be?' and
Elder Swift told the pathetic story of
Jonah and the whale. closing with an APP
peal for a generous collection in aid of the
missionaries in the isles of the sea.
Then Elder Hobbs picked up the hat to
receive the offering, when score of wasps
emerged from the roomy recesses of the
tile and instantly attacked the congrega-
ton. There was a shrek in chorus. and
rush from the room. Elder Swift was the
first to leap through a window, closely fol-
lowed by Hobbs. The bridegroom-to-be
carried his fiance out bodily Some of the
people went through the windows Nearly
all were stung.
Elder Swift limped to a nearby swamp
and applied some mud to his aching bald
head His hat was a wreck beyond repair.
In the crown were found the remains or the
wasps' nest. None of the congregation at
tempted to re-enter the schoolhouSe, and
the patient and long-suffering missionaries
will lose one collection.
In the evening the young couple were
united in marriage by Elder Swift, who
wore a skull cap, and peace and quietude
brooded once more over Gray's Corners.

to IoWanS.

DIES MONIES, Iowa, October 12.-After
his meeting at Marshalltown last night,
Senator Fairbanks came into Des Moines
and made a brief speech from the rear end
Of his private car before resuming his jour
ney this morning. There was a fair sized
crowd, and the senator spoke about fifteen
Cummins, and said:
Il was not aware that 1 was to make a
speech so early. However, 1 am not dis
night discussing republican policies. and
there is reason why l should not take
up the discussion as soon as l get out in
the morning. for republican principles do
not change over night"
He then congratulated Iowa upon her pros
perity and her Inference to republican
principles, attributing the one largely to the
other. He told the democrats that repub-
lican policies are as good for them as they
are for republicans.
Like blessed sunshine" he said, "they
benefit all alike
While he was talking train came in and
disturbed the meeting for a few moments,
calling from the senator the remark:
THAT is a good republican argument In
1896 we could hold meetings On the rail-
road tracks almost without being dis
turbed."
The speech was literally appauded.

down in body as the train drew up. Each
child carried miniature flag. and all were
singing and shouting at the top Of their
voices. Senator Fairbanks addressed HIM
self practically to the children, admonish-
ing them always to hold as sacred the flag
of their country.
AS the train moved out the children
waved their banners and Senator Fair
banks responded by waving a nag of his
own. There was also an enthusiastic audi
ence at Newton, where another brief stop
was made Here Senator Fairbanks made
his speech from stand near the railroad
tracks on which a man was standing
dressed in the stars and stripes, represent
ing Uncle Sam" The senator again ad
monished the people to stand for republic

perity and happiness.

Civil Service Violations.

More than year ago representations
were made to President Roosevelt that cop
per plate map engravers could not be OBJ
tanned In certain branches of the service.
especially in the geological survey. and that
the government would suffer If provisions
were not made to permit foreigners to be
placed upon the eligible list The President
thereupon issued an order that, In order to
secure men upon the eligible list, foreign
born engravers who intended to become citi-
zens of the United States should be allowed
to compete in the civil service examinations.
Later on the President received q call from
Samuel Gompers, president of the American
Federation of Labor, and r. Z. Bartle, at
torney for the copper plate printers, who de-
clared that the situation had been misrep-
resented to him; that map engravers could
not be be secured by the government be-
cause of the low scale of wages paid, much
lower than in private business. Upon the
presentation of this statement the President
revoked his former order as to foreign born
map engravers. leaving the situation just
as it prior to that. The same men
called upon the President today and
charged that the spirit and purpose of his
action In revoking this order is being VIC
lated presumably by knowledge of the
civil service commission Mr.. Gonpers de-
sired that his statements should be made IN
the presence of S. F. Kubel. chief engraver
of the geological survey. and Mr.. kubel
was present today. The President asked
all the parties interested to submit state
ment of facts to him in writing and 1t has
been agreed to do this Mr.. GomperS said
that he did not care to disclose his side of
ment In writing.
