Silver National Louis, July 22. Convention, St. A Scott Hutckinsen, of Wellsboro, Pa., was working in a hay field a few days ago when a thunderstorm arose. He was struck by lightning and killed. He was leaning upoti’ a. hay fork at the time, and so instantaneous was the summons that the body stood erect when found a few minutes afterward by his helpers. 4 an li att et ‘ee er mang ce ee ee ee ee ee rd Detected at Last. The restaurant waiter paused by the side of the distingushed looking gentle- min-who had just taken a seat. “Roast beef or Loiled mutton “’ he asked. The gentleman looked at him solidly and replied : “I have nothing to say.” The waiter bowed low, for he knew that tho man was McKinley. An Indian Kegulus. In the Choctaw Indian nation there is no jail in which to confine convicted | murdarers, and therefore they are al- lowed to run at large, on parole to be presznt on the day appointed for their’ hanging. Says a gentleman in the Washi.gton Star. When I first went to the Indian’ Territory I settled in the Choctaw nau tion, and hearing that a certain Indian was an excellent hand on the ranch. T hunted him up and asked him 2 he would work for me, “I will work until the twentieth of next month,” he eaid. “Why not louger ?” J inquired. “Tam to be hanged the twenty-first,”? |. was his reply, in an unconcerned way. I hired him, and upon inquiry learn- ed that what he said was true. But one man has ever failed to return for hanging after he has been sentenced, and my Indian did not prove an excep- to the rule. | On the dey before the execution was to take place he left as calmly as though going on a visit, and the hanging took place at the time appointed. Notwith- standing his approaching doom, the In- dian made one of the best ranchers | ever saw, and I regreted to lose him: ‘Mr, Bryan Resigns as Editor, It is annouuced that Mr. Bryan has informed his assistant on the staff of the Omaha World-Herald that he was about to resign his editorship. » Mr, ryan’s present salary is $1,800 a year, § contract calls for at least a column ha)f of editorials a week, He is required to direct the policy of in national politics.

Near Five Points. ee a) WRESTLING IN JAPAN, A Quaint Affair Conducted According te Ancient Rules. You may see a wrestling exbibi- tion on almost any &unday in one bf the big towns of Japan, and the ‘‘oate’’ is generally satisfactory to- Ihe promoters. Even though the elite of the profession be engaged, you may gain admission to the in- closure for 6 cents, which, when sil- ver is on the best of bimetallic terms, do not represent a threepenny bit. But should you have any pre. tensions te ‘‘gentility’’ you must ppend $1 in purchasing the lease- hold of a box, something like a miniature sheep pen, in which you squat with as much comfort to yourself as may be. The boxes around you are filled with the Jap. anese bourgeois, with a few women and children, who are consuming sweetmeats and watermelon with laudable perseverance, while the twopenny public have to stand on the floor of the ‘“‘house’’ and get the best view they can. In the center is a raised platform about 10 fect Bquare, with an earthen floor, and a canopy of rice matting overhead te keep the sun off the performers. There is about the proceduro a flavor of old Japan which is becom. ing rare nowadays. For example, all fashioned truncated cue. It is about all they do wear. And the umpire (and his attendant are clad in the “now obsolete kaimishimo, or cere- monial costume, the chief peculiari. ty of which is the projecting wihgs of gauze. Tho winpire does not core. municate directly with the combeat- ants or audience. He is much tac dignified for that. An attendant an- bows, and with much fan ploy re- cites the titles of the wrestlers ‘3 thoy appear. | Two brawny giants emerge from the retiring room at the corner—Ko- be and Osaka we will call them— amid much applause. Naked except for a loincloth and a fringe of blue cord attached to a waistband, they strut to the platform in the glory of 250 pounds of avoirdupois and g. gantio muscles coyly hidden beneath jan inch of fat. Kobe takes a mouth. | ful of water from the bucket at the | corner of the platform and sprays it ‘over his limbs. Osaka follows suit Next they abstract a pinch of salt from a box near by, wrap itina morsel of paper and bury if in tke earth thatcovers the platform. This for luck. Having slapped their thighs violently, they squat on their haunches and glare at each other Osaka, having apparently forgotten something, goes back to his corne) and has another mouthful of water, after which hecomes back and calm ly contemplates Kobe, who by this timo discovers that he requires somc¢ liquid refreshment and accordingly voes and gets it. At last Kobe anc Osaka are in a position irresistibly reminding the casual spectator of s couple of gamecocks. After a dea! of slapping of thighs Kobe bound, upand makes a grab at Osaka, whor he misses by something less than e mile. Osaka returns the compli- ment and manages to get Kobe in a close embrace. ‘They sway for a minute. There is a shock like a small earthquake, and the Lilliputian gentleman with the gauze wings, having received his cue from the umpire, points his fanat Osaka, whe bows cumbrously and retires, as does Kobe, but less ostentatiously. It is not particularly’exciting, except perhaps to these who can appreciate the nuances of Kiyobayashi’s code, but it is very quaint and one of the few bits of old Japan that have not been hustled out of existence, -— Lindon Realm, — Huxley and Gladstone, Ther3 was—perhaps thero still is —in England a metaphysical club of which Huxley and many other eminent persons were members. They met once a month to discourse of these high matters, Mr. Glad. stone was one. There is no known subject on which the great parlia. mentarian is not ready to enlarge with copious confidence. He did on metaphysics at the club and else. where, Mr, Huxley was once asked whether Mr, Gladstone was an ex- pert metaphysician. _ ‘“‘An expert in metaphysics? He does not know the meaning of the word,’’ was the rather startling an- swer. Between Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Huxley no love, in truth, was ever lost. Their relationa were nev- | er intimate, and though. in private they met as men do in England, amicably and civilly, no matter how much they differ in public, there wagand could be no cordiality,— ie é i ¥ wrestlers wear their hair in the old | pounces his decisions with menr | “LIGHTING PARLIAMENT, on flow the Commons and Lords Are Fan pished With Dluniination. Although gas, candles and oi! lamps are used to light the parlia. ster Budet, incandescent lamps are in most general use. The system of electric lighting is controlled from the basement, and throughout the building the lamps themselves are every where arranged with great cara and forethought. In the dining rooms, for instance, they are placed very high up, so that while the sup- ply of light is ample there is no glare over tho tables. In the tea- rooms, besides the lights’ from the ceiling, there are wall brackets over the tables and even movable table lamps for those who care to use ‘them. And inthe kitchen and the service room adjoining the com mons dining room all the fittings are made of iron, rather than of brass, so that they may suffer as Jit- tle as possible from the steam. With a staff of about 50 men the superintendent is able to. make ali sorts of ingenious and pretty fit- tings. And, as another specimen of | the economy which is everywhere visible, it may be mentioned that he has succeeded in making many pret ty olectroliers out of the old gas fit | tings. The big electroliers—notably that in the central hall, which weighs 18 hundredweight and bears | 93 lamps—and the smaller ones in ite peers’ chamber, St. Stephen’s hall and elsewhere are made to be ' raised and lowered for purposes of ‘ cleaning or of replacing bruken | lamps. This big electrolier has, high | up in the dome. a crane, which | H { { { | | { | moves over if on tram lines, by which it is raised and lowered, while the electric wires are carefully drawn aside on another tramway so that they may not be damaged in paying out whilo tbe electrolier, is being lowered. And in the roof above the house of lords there are similar arrangements, but with simply a weight and a couple of carthenwara pulleys in place of tle crane. The commons chamber is not lighted entirely by electricity. Round the arched doorway are ten {incandescent lamps, which are prin. cipally required to show up the carving aiid the clock face, and un. der the side galleries there isa lamp plated behind each pillar, so that. while it cannot itself be seon, it pre. vents the members who may be sit- ting there from being in deep shade and so invisible to the speaker. The principal lighting here, however. comes through the painted glass Jamps aro used, gas being preferred to electricity here both on account of its superior spreading powers and because the heat creates a draft, and so assists ventilation.

And in all the larger electroliers the lamps are divided into three groups, which light independently of one another. Thus, on a dull day one se? of lamps would be in use; if it were foggy, there might be two sets, and at night all three are employed. Ruskin and Science, One of the worst enemies of sci- ance is Mr. Ruskin. When Agassiz published his book on ‘‘Fossil Fish- es,’’ which was deemed of such im. portance in determining the relative ages of the strata in which they were found that the United States government contributed to the ex. penses of publication, Mr. Ruskin, in ‘‘Presterita,’’ volume 2, page 112, says, ‘‘ Agassiz was a mere blockhead to have paid for all that good draw. | ing of the nasty, ugly things, and that it didn’t matter a stale herring whether they had any names or not,’’ a piece of criticism written with the pen of ignorance.
