BIG" JOHN M0RIARTY."T
Said to Be the Tallest and Strongest Man
in Eastern Maine.
John Moriarty, known all over east-
ern Maine as “Barney Kelley’s Giant,”
died in Oldtown hospital recently of
typhoid fever, says the Lewiston Even-
ing Journal. He has been for nearly
two years employed as construction
hand on the Bangor & Aroosrtook rail-
road, and later on the new Ashland
branch, where he became sick. '
Moriarty stood 6 feet 9% inches in
his stocking feet, and generally
weighed 240 pounds. Had he. been fat
his weight would have been enormous.
But he was very lean. “Why,” said
Barney Kelley, “you could feed the
giant on porterhouse steak and eggs
and he wouldn’t gain a pound; but he
was an awful tough man!”
His arms were very long and he had
hands as powerful as the paws of a
gorilla. All over his body the muscles
stood out in lumps and cords, and his
strength was immense. He could do as
much work as two ordinary men, and
on that account his services were al—
ways in demand at more than common
wages. He was especially serviceable
as a derrick man—he could turn the
heavy crank all day without .. tiring.
An ax was like a toy in his hands, a
cant-dog like a walking-stick. He- could
up end and shoulder a small log or piece
of timber that two ordinary men could
barely lift, and in every department
of hearty manual labor he was a very
Hercules. .
Many stories are told of the giant’s
mighty strength. Once, when two
saucy woodsmen “guyed” him about
his towering height, he seized them by
the shoulders, one in each hand, and
knocked .their heads together till their
teeth rattled—and they were two good—
sized mcn.
At another time some toughs came
into a. barroom where he was and pro-
ceeded to “clear the place out." Mori-
arty took them, two at a time, and
pitched them half way across the street
as though they were so many ninepins.
HARD TUSSLE WITH BRUIN.
Oregon Hunter Attacks a Bear with an
Ordinary Jackknife.
J. C. Hearing, who was hunting and
trapping in the Blue mountains, a few
miles west of Elgin, met with a little ad-
venture with a bear recently that might-
have proved rather serious to him had
it not been for the intervention of one of
his dogs, says the Portland Oregonian.
.He was engaged in setting traps, and as
ho had considerable weight to carry he
had no weapon with him except a jack-
knife, and on his rounds his dogsdis-
covered the winter quarters of a bear
in a big hollow tree. The hear was at.
home, and was pretty much alive, as sub-
sequent event-s proved. As bear pelts are
quite valuable, Jake was quite anxious
to secure this one, but was afraid that if
he went to camp, a mile and a. half dis-
tant, bruin would escape, so he lashed
his pocketknife to the end of a stick and
attemptedtocutthe 11.23;?" "Moat. He
only succeeded in ii...ict.i g some pain-
ful flesh wounds, which so enraged the
brute that it suddenly came out of its
hole, and was almost on him when one
of his dogs made a sudden onslaught on
the animal’s rear, which diverted his
attention long enough to enable Jake
to dodge behind a tree, and the dogs
soon made it so tropical for the bear
that it was glad to take refuge in a tree,
where they kept it until a gun was
procured from camp, when the animal
was quickly dispatched.
'1 “FORM" IN BICYCLING.
How Society People Go a Wheeling—At-
tending Grooms and Maids.
The “form” of bicycling is beginning
to be stpdied. Grooms on wheels must
follow their mistresses as they did on
horseback; it is probably only a ques-
tion of a short time when the lady’s
maid will have to include wheeling with
her other accomplishments to secure a
situation. On the road the woman who
wishes to ride a la mode has to know
a number of little things that are. over—
looked by another woman, just as the
.smart set have a code for riding and
driving that is as inexorable as that
they should not eat with their knives
or put sugar on oysters. Society in-
‘ sists on an upright posit-ion, with, of
course, no attempt at racing pace. It
also frowns upon constant ringing of
the bell—that will do for the vulgar
4 herd who delight in noise; the well-in-
formed wheelwoman keeps eyes and
ears alert and touches her bell rarely.
' Nest of Clock Springs.
In the Museum of Natural History at
Soleure, in Switzerland, there is a bird’s
nest made entirely of steel. There are
a number of clock-making shops at
Soleure, and in the yards of these there
are often found lying disused or broken
springs of clocks. One day a clock-
m {er noticed in a tree in his. yard a
bir ' ’s nest of peculiar appearance. Ex-
rw-
”dab”. *" -
‘X
amining it; he found that a pair of wag-
tails had built a nest entirely of clock
springs. It was more than four inches
across, and perfectly comfortable for
the birds. After the-feathered archi-
tects had reared their brood, the nest
was takento the. museum, whore it is
preserved as a. striking illustration of
the skill of- birds in turning their sur-
roundings to advantage in building
their nests.
- . The \Vhite Feather.
The story runs that. during a war be-
tween the backwoods settlers of North
Amcfica. and the natives, a Quaker
feasted the enemy and placed a white
feather over the door of his house as
a sign of amity. The token was re-
spected. Hence the phrase: “Showing
the white feather,” which has come to
mean cowardice. *
A Tool for Thieves.
Thieves are using a contrivance look-
ing like an ordinary walking stick, but
which is so arranged that by pressing a
spring at the handle the ferrule will
spread apart and form a sort of spring
clip that will take hold of anything that
is within reach. The thing is called
“the continental lifting stick.”
MONKEY LIGHTS MATCHES.
But Has Not the Intelligence to Kindle a
Fire with Them.
No creature but man has ever made
use of fire. An African traveler, indeed.
has told a story of ape-s making athiev-
ing raid on a camp a: .' natives, and car-
rying torches to l.ght~ their way; but
this story lacks proof, and is not ac.—
cepted as true by zoologists.
There is, however, says the Youth‘s
Companion, in the Philadelphia zoologi-
cal garden a monkey who has learned to
scratch matches perfectly well. This
accomplishment he is willing to exhibit
on any occasion. He has learned to hold
the. match by its middle part, so than
his fingers are not burned by being too-
near the flame, and so that the match
will not break by being held too near the
other end.
This fact involves another, that he is
aware which end has the sulphur, and
does not attempt to scratch the unsul—
phured end. He has
learned that a rough surface is better to
scratch the match on than a smooth one,
and his care in looking for the rough
places is very diverting.
But with all these. intelligences, the
monkey has no notion of kindling an-
other fire with the one that he has
caused by the friction of the match. He
simply lets the. match burn out, and if
he lights another, does it- for the pleas-
ure of seeing it burn.
This monkey’s keepers, and the men
of science who are experimenting with
his intelligence, hope to communicate
to him eventually an idea of fire making
and using; but from the moment they
succeed in doing so-—if they ever do suc-
ceed~——it will be necessary to keep
matches out of his reach.
WHY ENGLAND IS GREAT.
A Native Offers an Explanation—Britain’s
Naval Superiority.
How was it that half an island over
Whicg Queen Elizabeth ruled developed
into t e world-wide empire-over which
Queen Victoria reigns ‘? First and fore—
most, says Blackwood’s Magazine, it
must be referred to the qualities of the
race, their energy and adventurous
spirit, their capacity to colonize, to‘ rule
subject races, and to administer their
affairs. That race was sprung of suc—
cessive seafaring invoders of these is—
lands who were trained for generations
in the arduous defense of these shores,
and taught to achieve naval superior-
ity as a necessity of their position.
As early as Edward III. the sover~
eignty of the narrow seas was asserted,
and conceded as a matter of course by
the people of the low countries. As
centuries rolled on, the insularity of
our position became more marked as
'our possessions. in Europe. dwindled
away. The drill sergeant, who is the
artificer of German fortunes, has had
no ascendency in these islands, whose
preoccupations have not risen from mil-
itary empires on their boundaries. Naval
superiority has been the guarantee of
our shores, and at the same time the
foundation of an empire which has
grown up beyond the seas. The same
qualities which achieved ordered liberty
at home spread commerce, settlements
and empires abroad.
' Veterans Must Not Marry.
Matrimony has received a. deadly
blow at the soldiers’ home at Quincy,
111., all owing to an order just issued
by Su’crintendent Kirkwood, who an-
nounces that any inmate of the home
who takes a wife will be dishonorably
discharged forthwith. While there
have been no wholesale matrimonial
ventures on the part of the soldiers, the
new law makes veterans and their fam-
ilies a. charge upon the counties upon
the order of any Grand Army post, and
Superintendent liirkwood takes this
summary step in order to minimize the
expense to the counties of the state.
The order has created much unfavor-
able commcnt among the veterans at
the home, and many of the inmates
who have never considered marrying
again are disposed to squirm under a.-
rulc that makes it impossible should
they desire to.

Many Hundreds of Physicians In Session
at Atlanta.
ATLANTA, -May 7.—-—The \merican.Med-
lcal association met in it; forty-seventh
annual session in the Grand Opera House
here. The association has over 1, 500 mem-
bers. The members come 5mm every state
and territory in the Unitcd States. There
are a few visitors from Canada and other
parts of America, while Europe has sev-
eral representatives. Dr. R. Beverly Cole
of California, president of the American
Medical association, called the association
to order. '
Dr. F. M. Ridley of Atlanta delivered
an address welcoming the physicians to
the city. A reference made by the speaker
to Cuba’s fight for freedom was greeted
with applause.
resident 0016 in his annual address
said too many medical schools gavea mere
superficial education. He suggested that
the association give the matter its atten—
tion and that a committee to examine
into the matter be appointed to report
next session. Dr. Cole said he believed
the need of such a reform was recognized
by the profession. He said further that
congress should prevent incompetent phy-
sicians from Europe from practicing in
this country. Physicians who would not
be allowed to practice medicine in Ger-
many emigrate to this country and re-
' ceive every right granted responsible phy-
sicians.
At the conclusion of Dr. Cole’s address,
a memorial of the Medical association of
the District of Columbia was introduced,
appealing for an expression of opinion by
the American Medical association on the
subject of vivisection. A committee of
five was appointed to report on the me-
morial. .
Dr. Reed of Ohio introduced a resolu-
tion providing for the appointment of
delegates to the second Pan-American
der the auspices of the Mexican govern.
ment. The resolution was adopted.
Dr. John B. Roberts introduced a pre—
amble and resolutions from the Philadel-
phia Medical society, asking that the next
session of the association be held in that
city. The resolutions were referred to the
committee on nominations.
The American Medical Editors’ associa-
tion held a banquet. Today the doctors
were the guests of the Southern Railway
company and E. W. Marsh at a barbecue

Let us tell you. Weak kidneys be come

We write our school teachers, asking
them to always and quickly perm't
Fred 'or Nellie to retire on rrques', as
their kidneys are weak. Let us set
you rich: in this matter. Give such
children one Doan’s Kidney Pill twice
a day, and as sure as you do their kld-

are pleasant for children to take, and
perfectly harmless.
An example of the success of Doan’s
Kidney Pills-din this trouble, comes
from Meriden, Conn. . Mrs. Wm Wood
who lives in that city at No. 130 Colony
street says: ‘,My little boy often years
of‘age has always been troubled with
weakness of the kidneys causing him to
wet the bed. So many mothers punish
their children for this, but I knew he
couldn’t helpit. I read about Doan’s
Kidney Pills curing incontinence of
urine in adults and thought it might
help the little fellow. I procured a box
and their use produced a marked benefit
at once. It is very seldom he does it
now and I shall continue giving him
Doan’s Kidney Pihs until the kidneys
are count and strong. It is only out of
gratitude that I permit publication but
the trouble is a very prequlentone and
most people from modesty or dlfiidence
do not speak of it. Physicians do not
appear to be able to cope with the
trouble and I consider it a mother’s
duty to tell Others about it when she
has found a specific for this terrible
