HE EATS GLASS.

Glass lunch Is treat to Andy sey-
mour. When his appetite Is keen for
food a pop bottle and two slices Of
bread. without any cOndiment, is {
feast for him. A lamp chimney would
be a delicacy. Seymour does not eX-
clude demijohns from his dietary. II
his digestion Is good. he subsists on
ginger ale bottles and ordinary plate
glass. Cut glass Is too expensive for
him. but If any OF his admirers care TO
tender him a cut glass dinner he will
not decline the invitation.
Thursday night Seymour walked along
Canal street munching on the bottom
os a seltzer bottle His mouth was
bleeding, but he seemed to enjoy the
lunch Numerous people observed him
quietly eating the bottle, and so rare
was the sight that he soon had a crowd
following him. When he reached
Baronne street Officer Farr, who is
stationed al that corner, noticed the
crowd. He made an investigation. At
first he thought that some one had as as
saulted Seymour, but the negro smiled
and said he was only eating his din
ner. And so saying he took anOtnef
bite off the bottle. The oIncer. be-
HeVing that Seymour was either drunk
or crazy, arrested him. He was charged
with being drunk and disturbing the
peace. The bottle bottom, which had
not been entirely consumed, was held
as evidence and was produced in court
yesterday morning.
What were YOU eating this glass

mnur.

during the coming week. This will ne
cessltate the appointment OF two repre-

stead OF one, as heretofore.
Although the change Is due 10 an
amendment Of the constitution and by

requisite number by several hundred,
the politicians Of the order are already
at work upon the slate for the next
meeting OF the grand council. by whom
the representatives will be appointed.
Tomorrow night Ouray Council will
celebrate the fifth anniversary Of its or
