a Wilton Grocer Was

filmstead’s Store Has a Narrow Escape.
Mr. S. W, Olmstead and family had
a narrow escape Wednesday right from
being roasted alive. ‘
Mr. Oimstead conducts a store at
Wilton, and his living apartments are
over the same. Last night or early
this morning, he awoke and thought he
detected an Oder of smoke. He made
a search and detecting no fire lapsed off
into slumber again. _
This morning on opening the store
he found that his olfactories had not
proved false to their trust. Investiga-
tion showed that there had been a
blaze, but how started, Mr. Olmstead
connot conjecture, which had eaten its
way across the floor to a window-sash
which it charred nearly to pieces and
then had apparently died out for want
of air to fan it to further destruction of
the building, if not to the roasting
alive of the occupints on the floor
above.
The fact of the blinds being close
ones and tightly closed, no doubt will
account for the failure of the fire to
spread further. The loss will not
probably be in excess of $100.

“Anything to oblige Bayard.”
LONDON, Nov. l2.—-—The Chronicle, in
commenting upon Mrs. Castle’s case, does
not quarrel with her release, but wishes
that the British law were more even hand-
ed and that the same consideration were
extended to the porzr as to kleptomaniacs.
The Daily News says, w1th reference to the
same subject, that it was foreseen and, be-
sides, "‘anything to oblige Mr. Bayard.”

{PRINCE AND GUEST.
CZAR’S MINISTER-RACE!) OVER NEW
YORK CENTRAL. TRACKS.
\Vas John Mngill When He \Vns Support-
ing His Family Here on His Earnings as
a Bolt Maker—Now, as Prince Hilkofl‘,
Inspecting Our‘Railroads,
An engine and three cars pulled out
of the New York Grand Central sta-
tion at 8 o’clock recently, and sped
away over the tracks of the New York
Central and Hudson River Railroad.
One of the cars was the “Mariquita,”
the private car of H. “’alter \Vebb,
Third Vice-President of the road. The
mission of the train was to carry over
the road on a tour of inspection the
personal representative of of the Czar
of Russia, sent here to observe the me-
thods employed in constructing and
operating American railways. The
Czar’s representative is Prince Michael
Hilkofl", Imperial Minister of \Vays of
Communication of Russia. On the
train also were Prince Hilkoff’s suite,
including his son, Prince Michaela-
vitch of the Imperial Engineering
Corps, as civil attache; Col. Tchert—
kofl of the Imperial Guards, military
attache, and a private secretary. Be-
sides these there were Mr. Creighton
Webb, Mr. George H. Daniels, gen-
eral passenger agent; Mr. Edgar Van-
Etten, general superintendent; Col.
Katie, chief engineer of the road, Ma-
jor Pangborn, and a representative of
the United States Associated Presses.
Just before he boarded the train
Prince Hilkoff was asked to say some-
thing about what he had seen and
heard since arriving in America.
“Oh, my,” he said in English that
had little or no accent, “if I said any-
thing, I would have to talk a week, and
you’d cry ‘Stop’ before I had finished.
Besides, that’s a question you should
ask a foreigner who has never been
here before. The answer from me
would be like the one given by a man
who has come home after he has been
away a long time. I feel that I could
hardly be classed as a foreigner. This
is my third visit here. The first time
I came I was a mere boy, and stayed
a year. The second time I was a young
man, and stayed seven years. During
that time I learned the value of a dol-
approve of Mrs. Castle’s release.

A MEDICINE CRAZE.
An Englishman who Swallowed 250,000
Pills and a Man who Drinks Nostrums.
A man in Vienna has developed a
mania for medicine, of which he swal-
loWs large doses daily, although suf-
fering from no illness. This is a form
of lunacy not altogether unknown.
To Heckington, in England, belongs
the honor of being the birthplace of the
largest consumer of medicine the world
has ever known. his Was Mr. Sam-
uel Jessup, a rich' razier, who died in
1817. He was in many ways eccentric,
but in none so much as in pill-taking,
or what a chronicler of the period de-
scribes as “a most inordinate craving
for physick.” '
The following figures may be regard-
ed as increditable, but there seems to
be no reason to doubt their accuracy.
In the twenty-one years, from 1795

Many more of these were taken in

years, this rate of consumption aver-
aged seVenty-e‘ ht a day, while in one
single year. 1:: 4, Mr. Jessup sw-al-
lowed as many as 51,590 pills.
These astounding figures came out
in the course Of an action tried at the
Lincoln Assizcs, in 1817. when an
npothecary of' Bottesford, who had
supplied the whole of the medicine,
sued Mr. J essup for the amount of his

with the addition of 40,000 bottles of
mixtures and inlets and electuaries,
Mr. Jessup. who was unmarried, lived
to the age Of sixty-five. The apothe-
cary’s bill, for the amount Of which
he was sued, covered no less than
fifty-five long and closely written col-
umns.

THUNDER-”CLOUD its His BRIDE.
Miss Hashing": Falls in Love with a Sioux
. Bravo. -
Hattie Hashagan, an artist, 'whose
decorative paintings have delighted
thousands at the art exhibitions, is
new, Mrs. Thunder Cloud. She has
married .her Indian model, the hand-
somest warrior of the Sioux‘tribe. ‘He
is ’ap-b‘ig, stalking brave, whOse face.
’ "and ,figure‘adOrn many alcanvasrep-
resenting life on. the frontier.
The bride is romantic by ”nature, as
might easily be gtieSsed. She is 22
years old. Her eyes are black. and. as
- .fascinating as-dazzling gems. .They
are curtained by dark, heavy lashes.
:She has black hair, worn in .fluflfy
style, ’a lithe figure, rather small, and
ll face plump enough not to be angu-
ar. ._ ~
Thunder Cloud was lucky from the
time he was big enough to bend a how.
He lived in luxury until he was..20
. years old, and then attached himself
to a. Government surveying party.'>He
met Buffalo Bill,-and was one Of the
first redskins brought out of the ,West
by him. He was with the show in-Eu-
rope, and was the most admired'of
the redskins who appeared before the
nobility.
Thunder Cloud is as straight as an
arrow, thick set and has Indian fea-
tures. He allows his jet-black hair .to
fall over his shoulders, and takes
pride in his appearance. He has
piercing eyes, a brighter face than
most Indians, and is a. remarkably
handsome red man, not only in the
opinion of Mrs. Thunder Cloud, but of
many New Nork artists.
While employed by Buffalo Bill,
Thunder Cloud posed occasionally for
artists. 'A few. years ago he adopted
thatbusiness. He bought a stock of
tomahawks, war paints, bows and ar-
rows, buckskin suits, Indian dancing
costumes, and everything an artist
would want in a picture. This made
'him valuable as a model. He added
to his income by selling Indian relics.
Miss Hashagan heard of Thunder
Cloud through a water color exhibiféd
by Otto ,Wix, in which the Indian
brave was the central figure. It Was
two years ago. She was then 20, just
out of art school. and the noble red
man excited her enthusiasm. She
pleaded with her mother to let her
paint him. Mrs. Hashagan finally con-
sented. She and her daughter were
living in Miss Hashagan’s studio, and
there Thunder Cloud posed for his
brid'c-to-bc.
The marriage ceremony was per—
formed by the Rev. Henry St. George
Young, an Episcopal rector. In .the
bride s stugéio in New York. Thunder
Cloud adorned the walls in advance
with tomahawks, bows, arrows, pipes
of peace, buckskin clothes, eagle
feathers, war bonncts and everything
to be .viewed in a warrior’s Wigwam.
In a conspicuous place there was asil-
ver medal his grandfather, Trohak-
wente, received for gallant conduct in
a frontier battle. A war bonnet, made
by Thunder Cloud, was given the place
of honor.
The wedding took place in the even-
ing. The witnesses were Otto Wix,
whose water color had started the
courtship, and Ella Mockridge. The
bride wore a pretty costume of white
silk, with orange blossoms. Thunder
Cloud ignored the traditions of his
forefathers, and appeared in a frock
coat, over the shoulders of which his
jet black hair fell in a glossy mass.
To Stop Bicycle Thieves.
The popularity of the bicycle in all
classes of society has been the means
toward the development. of many and
varied inventions appertaining to the
two wheeler. The device suggested
by a young bicycle enthusiast who
had the'misfortune recently to lose
his bicycle, which he had left in front
of an office building while he entered
to execute a commission, has the nov-
elty of being absolutely original, and
also of putting to practical use one of -
Wizard Edison’s most complicated in-
ventions.
This device he has named the “bicy-
cle stop thief,” and if the apparatus
actually works as the young inventor
contends that it can be made to do, it
will do away almost entirely with bi-
cycle thefts. The young man has af-
fixed a miniature phonograph to his
bicycle directly under the saddle. The
phonograph is enclosed in a square
box, and the apparatus only weighs
two pounds and a half. In the centre
of the box is the tin foil cell upon
which he has imprinted the words
“Stop thief!” many times. A wire con-
nects with the rear wheel of the bicy-
cle, and with that the apparatus is
complete.
When the young man enters a build-
ing he presses a. button, and his thief
catcher is set. When the thief, who
is always near by to take advantage of
any careless person leavinga bicycle
on the sidewalk, jumps into the saddle
I and starts to ride away, he is stopped
by a voice which shouts apparently
behind him, “Stop thief! Stop thief!”
The faster he rides the wheel the
. louder the voice pursues him, until
finally the thief in disgust vaults off
the wheel and leaves it to its fate. A
pressure of the button, by the owner,
and the mechanism is detached and
the wheel runs smoothly. The young
inventor intends to apply for a patent
as soon as he has the contrivance per-
fected.
' Sarcasm.
Sarcasm generally doesn’t pay, un-
less it be of the pleasant kind used by
an Irishman to his employer—a coal
dealer—who proposed ,to discharge
him because “he couldn’t learn any-
thing.” ..
“Well, I’ve learned one thing since
I’ve been with you,” said Pat.
“What’s that?” ‘
“That eighteen hundred make a tcn.’l
Pat wasretained.
