The condition was that Cation
should eat two peas on the first day,
double that number on the eecond and
continue doubling day after dsv for
IA days. The peas were the ordiua
ry green marrowfats.
During the fret week, before the
total exceeded 200, Cation susl-
lowed them like pills. Subsequently
they were STEPPED and boiled On
the fourteenth day be had 1854
peas TO eat.
Some idea of the enormous nature
of the task may be gathered from the
fact that when Cation reached hit
twelfth day the peas represented abou
FIVE pints in the dried state. When
they were stepped in water they SWELL
ed to more than IL pints.
Owing to little hitch in the pro
ceedings. Cation at first refused to
consume the total on the last day, bat
on the thirteenth day be disposed of
1892, which is believed to be q

meal for more than 60 persons.

HELD PRISONER IN BANK.
Oscar Anderson and Two Girls spend
Four Unhappy Hours.

Oscar Anderson, a printer. and two
young women. who declined to give their
names, spent four unhappy hours last
night while they were imprisoned in a
small vestbule Of the new Metropolitan
Bank. now under erection.
Anderson and the two women went into
the vestibule about O'Clock to escape
the heavy rain which came up suddenly.
and the heavy bronze door closed and
locked them in. Anderson pulled and
tugged at the heavy door, but it would
not yield. Finally mis- yells attracted the
attention Of the watchman Of a next
door bank, who tried to open the door
from the outside
At last a messenger was sent to the
president Of the bank, and another mes.
senger was directed 10 notify the con-
tractor who was putting up the building
and the efforts Of the police were also
called into service. The crowd which
gathered had many suggestions to make
but none of them succeeded in opening
the door until it was suggested that
Anderson push on a bar at the side of
the door and at the same time shove the
door open.
He did as he was told. and the massive
bronze doors glided open without the
slightest friction. The Young women
thought it was a good Joke Anderson
couldn't see il that way.
