You can sell that cloth for hun

A yard goes further; one buys less

THE LATEST MAN ALIVE.
After 20 Years in Bed He Is Obliged
to Get Up.

What may well be the worlds rec
ord has been established by a man
named James Thompson. who went to
bed In 1877 and did not leave 1t until
about fortnight ago. The LATEST
man alive was a term applied to him
by the Lurgan guardians. says the
London Telegraph.
Thompson, who lives with his moth
er at Clare, Lurgan, was still youth
when he began his long rest. He was
looked after by his mother, and his
presence In the house was hardly
known to the villagers. He would
have remained in bed for the rest
of his life in all probability had not
crisis occurred In his domestic AZ.
fairs.
Mrs. Thompson, who is now so
years Of age,' was at that time taken
Ill, and had to be removed to the
Union infrmary. Left helplessly alone.
Thompson was compelled to get up.
A search was made for the suit which
ne discarded 29 years ago, but he was
unable TO dress without assistance
Two neighbors were called in, and
the work of squeezing him into the
clothes occupied the three men a
whole evening. When dressed he was
too tired to walk and an ambulance
had to be brought to convey him to
the Union, He reposed there until
his mother was well enough to leave
the infirmary, when he followed her
home. This time he was compelled
to walk, as the guardians refused an
ambulance.
The facts Of the case came out
when the relieving officer applied to
the Largan guardians for relief for
Mrs. Thompson, who has only occa-
sional help from some more energetic
sons who have emigrated to Aus
tralia. She was allowed IS pence a
week. The recital of the story con.
vulsed the guardians.

San Francisco, May G A supposed
desperado, who was killed at Will
lows, Cal, last Monday night after
q fight with a posse OF officers, has
been identified as Count Otto Won
Waldstein OF Austria, u member OF a
noble family OF Austria. nephew to
the cardinal and 10 Prince Warten
berg, one OF the richest men In Franz
Joseph's empire. The Identification
was made at Willows by Miss Mary
Fitzgerald OF this city, who knew
him.
The shooting was the result OF q
mistake on the part Of both Count
Otto and posse, say the Willows Of

was 80 years old, left Austria six
years ago because OF a love affair
He fought through the Boer war,

HARDEN ILL, BUT IN COURT
Editor of Die Zu Kunft Makes Appear
ance in Criminal Libel
Case.

BERLIN, Dec. 1e,-Maximillan Harden
was haggard and worn and his face paled
and flushed alternately when he appeared
before tho criminal court today and took
his place in the dock to answer the ac-
cusation brought in the name OF the state
that he had offended not only against Gen
erai Count Won Moltke but against the in
terests Of society in writing in Die Zu
Kunft Of Won Moltke. Prince Philip Eulen-
burg. General Wilhelm Won Hohenau and
others in the manner in which he did.
Harden smiled wearily as he acknowl-
edged the solicitude of the bailiff in help
ing him remove the fur coat in which he
was wrapped. The president of the court
inquired courteously If Harden felt strong
enough TO follow the proceedings. 81
hope So" replied Harden. The president
then invited him to leave the prisoners
bench and take a more comfortable chair
next to the attorneys The bailif spread
out Harden's fur coat on the chair in order
to make him as comfortable as possible.
The prisoner was shaken from time to time
with coughing, which he tried in vain to
suppress. Dr. Marx, Harden's physician,
said when Harden got up this morning that
he absolutely disapproved of his appear
ance IN court and disavowed all RESPONSE
bflity for the effect on his health.
