NINE FOOT GIANT.
Ate Seventeen Oranges For Breakfast Eighty
Cigarettes Daily.

New York (SpeciaD. = The Russian
giant, Machnow, who is nine feet two
inches tall in his stockings, is at Ellis
Island, and the prospects are that he will
not be admitted to the United States un-
conditionally.
Machnow, with his wife and the agent
of Oscar Hammerstein, arrived here on
the steamship Pretoria, and though the
giant was travelling as a first-cabin pas
senger, he was held up because the inni-
FRACTION authorities had received letter
saying that he should not be allowed to
land.
The doctors got hold of him and after
several hours examination came to the
conclusion that the giant was suffering
from kidney disease. A board of in
quiry will look into the case.
Big as the giant is, his appetite is
not large. He did devour II oranges
for his breakfast; but, then, he likes or
anges. OF other food he eats about
what an ordinary man would eat.
His capacity for cigarettes, however,
is abnormal. Each day he smokes some
80 small Russian coffin nails"

According to advices from Mara
kesh, the Cobbler Mesfewi, who had
been convicted of the murder of Sc
women, whose bodies were found buried

expiated his crime.
Instead of being cruci6ed, as had
been intended, at the last moment it was
ordered that he be walled up alive
Previous to the final act in the tragedy
Mesfewi was subjected to daily fog
gings
while the masons were working they
were surrounded by mob, who jeered
Mesfewi. The first two days of his
entombment the cobbler screamed con-
tinuously, but the third day the living
tomb gave forth no sound. It is pre-
sumed the murderer died of exhaustion"
