a preliminary signal Is given by large
gong or iron shield being struck with a
big iron far fifty times in such quick
succession as almost to defy calculation
and this is followed by 100 double strokes
commencing slowly and dreamily for the
first half and gradually increasing to
half hurricane rapldity; and this set Of
100 blows is repeated in precisely the
same fashion three times. When the third
and last cycle of gong strokes Is entered

ST. Charles has the strongest little
girl Of her age in the world. Her name
is Matilda Gage, and she is years and
months old, the daughter of William
Gage, of this place.
The little wonder now weighs but thirty
pounds, but she will take fiye-pound
dumbbell in each hand and hold them out
at arms length; she will put one up nifty
times with either hand without stopping
except to change from one hand to the
other--that is. each hand fifty times,
She will put up an eight-pound dumbbell
ten times with each hand. and will raise
a ten-pound dumbbell from the shoulder
Another stunt the little girl performs is
TO rest her head and feet upon two chairs
and hold twenty-five pound weight in
the center of her body.
The father. William Gage, was well
known in Jackson ten years ago as BIZ

Contracts Are Not Binding.

Budapest, March 15.-The executive
committee of the coalition has issued a
note stating that it has been decided
to call the attention of the powers to
the fact that contracts entered into
with the present government are not
binding upon the state, and that 1t
expects financial institutions of the
country will not lend hand in any
credit operations. The committee de
clares that the apartment of the royal
commission and its exercise of func
lions were illegal and hopes that the
protests will reach those in quarters
where it cannot be desired that the
throne and the nation should come to
the brink of an abyss.
