RARE BEN JoNs0h.

He Was Fat and Coarse and Worse
Bully Than DR.. johnson.
"Rare Ben Jonson." who is admired
by everybody and read by nobody. was
d distinctly unpleasant individual who
had few real friends during his life
time. A good MANY people pretended
to like him and enjoy his society be-
cause they were afraid of him. He was
not only vindictive with his pen, but he
was quick to imagine insults or sights
md was prone to resent them with his
fists. =
Originally a bricklayer, he was big
and burly and strong as government
mule until so weighed down by fafthat
he could scarcely navigate. After re-
covering from sickness once he said
he had been at deaths door. where
upon some forgotten humorist re-
marked that death didn't have door
big enough to admit him.
.Jonson had powerful frame and
huge. hairy hands: his face was heavy
and fiorid. the lower part covered with
reddish whiskers. and lie was extreme
~ slovenly in his dress. He was a
worse bully than Samuel Johnson. The
latter. with all his faults, never raised
q rough house.
.Ionson fought two duels and killed
his man on both occasions. His first
was with a soldier during wartime.
and he was not brought to account for
that. Later he killed an actor with
whom he had some trifling quarrel and
for this was sentenced to death. The
sentence was committed. but he was
branded upon the hand before being
given his liberty.
His life was stormy. and when he de-
parted there was no overwhelming
grief The fact that his name remains
household word is strange. for not
one man il Il million has ever read his

"Twenty-six francs" And the troop

FOR
CAMBRIDGE
Public Building Appropriation Bill
Carrying $4,000 for Site in
Cambridge Amended in Senate
by Senator Smith so as to Pro-
vide for Site and Building.

The Public Buildings bill, COM
monty known at the Pork Barrel
bill, which was introduced in the
House of Representatives on last
Saturday, and which carried two
items of especial interest to the
First Congressional District, one
providing for a site and Postoffice
Building at Salisbury, for which an
appropriation of $4,000 was made,
and the other providing $4,000 for
the purchase of a site in Cambridge
for a public building, passed the
House yesterday under suspension
of the rules.
Immediately after the bill was
carried to the Senate, Sen. John
Walter Smith introduced an amend
ment increasing the amount of the
appropriation for Cambridge to
$4,000, the same as Salisbury, psac-
ing these two cities upon the same
footing. The public in this city
and neighborhood are very much in
earnest concerning the building, and
hope there will be no difficulty in
securing the passage of the bill in
the present form.
