Champion Endurance Walter.

From the London Globe.
There are many records of sorts, and an
Italian with a passion for dancing has add
ed another-that of the endurance waltz.
This novel champions name is Signor Guat-
tierro and he made his display in Paris
during Sunday with five competitors, lured
by the challenge offer of Signor Guattierro
to give 940 to the man who could dance
him down.
Incidentally the event established some
thing like record for the single pianist
who played the contest through, for it was
part OF the plan that the successive dances
should be played without the slightest break
or interruption. as If they formed successive
movements In a single composition. This
was necessary because it was stipulated
that single fault in step or time on the
part of the dancers disqualified. The ball"
opened at 10 am. and 1t closed at 1890
yesterday morning. For an hour before
that time all other dancers but Signor
Guattierro were merely shuffiing their feet
The number of dances played was 252.
Signor Poll Luigi was the player.

emperor of China has issued edict prom

revolt is predicted in the Central
American republics. Dispatches from Ha-
vana tell Of steps taken by the leaders OF

BOOMING CANNED MEAT
ENGLISH GRoCERs JOIN IN
PRAIsING AMERICAN PRODUCTS.

Grocers in London are busy as a result
OF the trouble over American canned meets,
and they now want to reassure their GUS
toners that there is nothing the matter
with American packing house products. The
Department of Agriculture has just re-
ceived from England big poster booming
American canned meats. This is not the
work of American firms, but is put out by
the Grocers' Federation Of England.
The poster is a gaudy affair." about two
and half by three and half feet in size
and printed in red and green. 1t is headed
Canned Meats In letters big as those in
a New York extra paper. and goes on to
say that there is no danger in eating Amer
lean canned meats. This assurance iss fol-
lowed by the most interesting feature of
the poster. 1t Is nothing less than cable
grams from President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, certifying to
the fitness of canned meats for human
food To be sure, the Grocers' Federation
speaks of Secretary Wilson as "Superin-
tendent' Wilson. but this is merely through
not being familiar with cabinet officers, and
Is not intended as sign of disrespect. The
cable from the President is to the Ameri-
can ambassador at London and says:
You are at liberty to inform the Gro
cerS' Federation that under the new law
we can and will guarantee the fitness in
all respects Of canned meat bearing the
Herewith, protest can be made not only to
the sellers. but to the government of the
United States itself.
"lSigned THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
The message from Secretary Wilson direct
to the GrOcerS' Federation says:
United States meats for export are all
from animals that have been inspected by
veterinary officers of the government at
the time Of killing under the regulations of
the Department of Agriculture
1t has been found by the Grocers' Fed
Grafton that not only were there not
enough canned meats to supply the public
without allaying the scare about American
meats but that the revelations of the in
vestigation into English packing houses
showed them to be-, IL possible. in worse
shape than anything that had developed
in Chicago. There were millions of dollars
in American canned goods on the shelves
of the English retail grocery stores, and
to save these, from being almost total
loss to the holders the Grocers' Fedora
ton had to get some sort of semi-official
announcement from this government There
have been thousands of this circular
printed and distributed broadcast over the
united kingdom to act as counter irri-
tant to the stories of Chicago methods
that were eagerly seized upon by the Eng
lfsh press as soon as the packing house
scandals arose. Whether they will do what
Is hoped from them by the English trade
is a question, but they will succeed in dis
tributfng the names Of President Roosevelt
and Secretary Wilson about as broadly
over England. Ireland. Scotland and Wales
as any device that could be imagined.

From the New York Herald.
Mr.. Daniel Lambert is supposed to be the

is so fat as not to be able to attend to
any Of them. except looking at them from
a seat. Lambert is thirty-six years of age:
weighs upward Of 30 st.. IA lbs. to the stone

around the body. yard 1 inch around the

When a Royal Train Breaks Down.
From London Tit-Bits

From LONDON TN-blts.
+ may not be generally known that a
telegraphist always accompanies a royal
train. In case of any accident a ladder is
placed against the nearest telegraph post
and a wire attached or connected with an
instrument. which the telegraphist works
while sitting on the bank. BY this means
word can be sent at once to the nearest
railway station. giving such instructions or
notifications as may be deemed necessary
When q train with the sovereign on board
Is travelling all the men in responsible posi-
tions are forewarned.
trial was made once. The royal train
was purposely stopped and the telegraphist
sent of his dispatch in the manner de-
scribed. The result was satisfactory in
every respect. Otherwise the telegraphist's 8
services have never been called into reuui-
sition during a royal railway journey.

An Egyptian Cure for Sunstroke.

-
From the London Standard.
travellers In Egypt must often have no
ticed curious scars upon the foreheads Of
the natives. though perhaps they have not
discovered its significance 1t is a sign that
the man who bears 1t has had, or has fan
cied that he had. sunstroke The formula
for the malady is curious and typically
eastern. The victim must be laid fuil
iength upon the ground and massaged from
the feet upward. The sunstroke is some
form or evil genius which must be squeezed
and forced into one spot. This the massage
accomplishes: When the masseur has done
his best to this end, and assumes that the
virus of the enemy is all concentrated In
the forehead of the patient, then the teeth
OF the operator are applied to the infected
area, and a piece of the 1es of the forehead
bitten out. The strange thing is that the
treatment is said to be invariably effica-
cious. 1t may be faith cure, or il may be
that the sunstroke itself was imaginary
the cure Is sure.

Brazil's Improved Postal Card.
.om q Letter to the Chicago Daily New.

Our postal card Is in need of improve
ment. The writing on 1t is in plain view, to
be read at leisure by any postal employe
from the time II leaves the sender until 1t
arrives at its destination.
During my first stay In Brazil I found
that the postal card there in use was sup
piled with a flap or covering of dark paper
which. when gummed down. completely hid
the writing. This nap was attached to the
back Of the card. and edge gummed and
perforated. the insertion of finger tip be-
ing ell that was required to open it. 1t
served the purpose OF . letter at half the
expense.
