The Same Act.

An old negro was recently brought
before justice in Mobile. 1t SEEM
ed that Uncle Nose had fallen foul
of a bulldog while in the act Of
entering the henhouse of the dogs
owner.

The Triumphant Trolley.

1t is estimated that about 6,OOO,-
100000 passengers were carried by
the trolleys of the country last year,
about four or five million more than
travelled by steam.
At this rate every man, woman
and child, white, black, yellow or
brown, might have had about rs
rides each during the year.
An average of something like IT,
100000 passengers were carried
daily.
Nearly third Of a million per-
sons have their names on the pay
rolls of the trolley companies of the
country.
In spite of the rapid development
of electric street railways, there are
still operated in this country 26O
miles of horse car lines and 24O
miles of cable lines.
In view of the talk prevalent to-
day about the dangers incident to
travel, it is interesting to note that
on the street railways but one per-
son is killed in 26,000,00O, and but
one person is hurt In 100000 Of
those carried. Trolley.

THE AGE OF FISHES.

The normal length Of life OF our
common small minnows probably
rarely exceeds four or Ave years, and
may be much shorter, but there are
few satisfactory observations on this
point. No general rule can be laid
down regarding tho age OF fishes or
the relation between age and size
It is known that the salmons of the
Pacific coast, which enter the rivers
in such immense shoals, live to be
four or five years old, and then inva-
riably die after once laying their
eggs. One Japanese fish died when
one year old. On the west coast OF
Europe there occurs a small fish
which is like an annual plant--that
is. all the individuals die each year,
and only the eggs-i. e., the seed
remain to produce the next seasons

The Newest Lemon Joke.

Here is the latest! You put out
your hand, palm upward and with
fingers and thumb extended and say
to your friend as you do the trick
yourself before his eyes: "Can you
do this? Bend your fingers over

the finger tips touch the palm of

The poverty social which was to

hoped a large patronage will be ac-

On account of several bills which
ought to be met all the subscribers
to the church budget are urged to

he will speedily recover his strength.

MOST DANGEROUS
OF ALL nANIACS
Awful AffIiction Of Chas. Rotterman
wildly Insane on Anniversary
of an Accident Faithful
Wife

/ Driven out of his mind with terror
| In a Colorado mine one day, when
caught in drift where a flood of
water rose to his cabin before he
was rescued, Charles F. Rotterman
is said to be the most dangerous
insane man in this state today.
| Rotterman was taken to Denver
yesterday from Greeley by two de-
putty sheriffs. handcuffed and shack
led. He is now in the insane ward
| in the county hospital from which
he was let out a few weeks ago
an parole. For a time Rotterman
! acted nationally and then be came
possessed of a demon. Going to
Greeley he began a series of actions
that terrorized the greater part of
Weld county for several days.
Entering the largest hotel in Gree
| ley he became violent and drove all
| the guests in terror to their rooms.
He was captured on the roof and 1t
| took three men to take him to jail.
Rotterman was decoyed iLto town
by a beet wagon driver. He had been
out of town for several days. While
in the country the last time before
being caught, he met the driver of a
beet wagon and jumping on the seat
told the man he would show people
how to drive. The driver saw that
he was insane ard did not attempt
to dispute him, with the result that
Rotterman got to town. While in
Greeley a few days previously, it is
said, he got in buggy hitched to a
pole and began lashing the horse
with a whip. A passerby told him
that the horse was hitched but he
replied 81 don't care, I'm not hitch
ed"
Other acts of this kind were ter
rorizing the people of the town when
Rotterman was finally caught. There
are now eigth murderers in the
Greeley jail, Rotterman was put in
cell with one and after looking at
him a moment hit the man and
knocked the man across the cell. The
two were graphing when the sheriff
and attendants threw Rotterman. 1t
took five men to tie him down to the
floor and this was the way he found
the man when he got to Greeley.
Rotterman was securely bound be-
fore being brought here.
About one year ago Rotterman at
tempted to kill his wife and child
ren, going after them one night with
a knife in one hand and razor in
the other. He lived in a shaLty on
West Nevada at the time. He was
caught and confined in the hospital.
The accident which impaired his
reason happened about ten years ago,
but Rotterman has broken out half
dozen times since then III violent
ways.
A peculiar fact about him is that
rainy weather or the sight of much
water will make him a raging man
lac, if he has been perfectly rational
for months before that.
Mrs. Rotterman, who is now en-
gagged as cook at the detention.
house in Denver, does not share the
common fear of her husband. "Why,
he is as easy managed as chill"
she says. "and would not do any one
HARM 1t is said, however, that
she has had several narrow escapes
during the last few years, but it has
always been neighbors who called
