_ Death Ended the Game.

too. He was a wit, and when in the humor
would make a whole regiment of sick man
laugh. We were a few dollars winners, and
he was graphically and humorously describing
the, brigade of regulars running against a
swamp inthe Wilder-nos, and the mythical
comersation between thongray haired com~
mauder and the second-lieutenant, just out of
West Point, as the old soldier asked 'if‘ there
was anything in the new books about getting
a brigade acres a swamp was delicious.-
As we laughed the handsome lad fell face
down into the blanket and began tovomit
blood. We grabbed him, 'turned him over,
toreuphis shirt and saw where a ball had
entered his side, cutting a gash instead of a
hole. The wounded soldier did not speak.
The blood rushed out of his mouth, his eyes
glazed, his jaw dropped—he was dead. A
chance ball had struck the tire of one of the
' wheels of the No. l'gun and glanced forward
and killed the deli btful comrade. His death
ended the game. ‘ e put his body alongside
of a couple of other dead men and burl the

It was7o'clock a. m., and Joe Fogarty,

key in the lock of his ofilco door, when an
elderly man and two women crossed the green
extending between the Morgue and Bolievue
hospital. The night previous the body of a
well dressed young man had been brought to
the Morgue. It“: a case of suicide and the
morning paper! had longsaccountsvofitho
young man’s death, which, as well as his per~
sonnlfty, were shrouded in mystery.
“Good morning, sir.” - said one of the
women, who was young and prepossemiug.
“You have here, I believe, the body of a
young'man who killed hilrpolf last night in

woman said, in the same matterof~fact tone
iuwhich she might have remarked upon the
qualities of a picture: 1
“How beautiful ho is! See!” pointing to a"
mall red spot near the left temple. “that is
where the bullet entered. Isn’t it!" she
asked. appealing to Joe. .
_“Yes," replied the letter; “you don't seem
to recognize him!” 5.
“Oh, no,” she returned; "we did not expect
to. Our curiosity was oxeimd by the ao-’

how' easily a trivial little thing ibecome's a

the bean bag game. It isn’t the old bean bag
that you-tom féom escrow or line of persons

skill-tin throwing. That’s the secret of the
whole things—the throwing. You want a
number of bean bags of different sizes, a piece

pliances to stretch..the canvas between "the

you’ve got them you've got the now crane

and women throwing bags at the hole in the

enjoy it a‘fo much that they were reluctant to
step and'godiomo. 1i If ' you hear a business
man: lain-of a sore shoulder you can
truthfully "suspect = ZhIn‘t 0f been throwing.
Thereiis alert of excitesnent about the game
that makes ill—popular, but it wont run very
long. Ms'n like it because , they' want to

throw straighter than women; also because
it makes them“, think of the days when a shin-

they count min 10 to 100, the latter of course
being the largest bag. A thrower begins

to throw‘n'ntil he scores a miss, when he has

Isn‘t nearly as popular as the bean bag. It is
the drawing of objects on paper and slates

when a contest of this kind was gotten up by
some of the-India,- and 'it proved a source of
genuine fun.
“‘Now.‘ beganono of-the ladies who pro-
posed the game. 'I will blindfold Mr. M—
and let him-try to draw a pig.’ Mr. iii--

that pi as he developed it. When he got
throng 'and removed-tho handkerchief from
his eyes to‘ catch a glimpse at his work he just
said. ‘Itats, that ain’t a pig. I can do better
than that.’ ”
“He was right. It wasn’t a pig, and it
w'ould have’ték'en a“ greater genius than any
that saw it to’have'likenad it to any object to
be found above ground. There were two‘ or

What is said of the-whim is especially true

THE FIRE KIN rs miners.
A REPORTER’S EXPLANATION OF
HOW THEY ARE PERFORMED.
A Marvelous Medley of Magic-Wonder-
ful Performance of a Man in League
With the Powers of the Fire and
Brlurston \Vorld.
The professor was a little man, generous
and cxpansivo in the matter of shirt front,
red (13;. to hair and blessed with a surprising
amplitude of coat sleeve and tail.
“Ladies and gentlemen," he began, coming
totho front of the stage and turning back
his calls with an innocent air and. that gen-
acterivcs' the manual motions of sleight of
hand men—“ladies and gentlemen, begging
your pardon in advance for the liberty I am
taking, I wish to state that in the hall of
this 'opora house, just outside the door, there
is a faucet connected with the pipes which
supply the city with water. If some young
gentleman in the audience will be so kind as
to fill this tin utensil in my baud”—he lifted
a tin quart bucket from the table and tapped
it with his forefinger—“with water from
that faucet, I shall proceed to burn it—not
boil it, understand me, but burn the water
with a flame which you may all see."
After a little natural persistence and some
urging from the professor a couple of young
gentlemen, aged about 13 summers, conveyed
the tin bucket out into the hall, whence they
presently returned with a quart of water.
which the professor demonstrated to be pure
water by drinking a few swallows of it. A
suggestion from the rear of the hall that the
growler might contain beer was properly ig-
nored; and the remainder of the clear fluid
gigspoured from the bucket into a glass fruit

“Salamandissimns, salamaudosl”- remarked
the professor. solemnly, while he waved his
hands over the surface of the water. “1 com

command thee, three times. in the name of

A row colored fiame appeared on the wafer.
and gradually spread until it embraced the
whole areaof the surface and rose pyramid

ing the subsequent proceedings the water con-
tinued to burn.

Then ensued the cracking of a number of
familiar chestnuts, such as the cooking of an
omelet in a borrowed silk hat. the mysterious
production from nowhere of an outfit of tin.
ware'and a guinea pig, et id omne genus. . .
‘A bar of lead was melted ins crucible over
a small furnace, and according to the prom-
iso on the bills the professor‘ proceeded to
wash his hands in the molten metal. ' He did
the work thoroughly, plunging? his hands to
scooping up the liquid lead in his palm and
dropping it upon the board floor of the stage,
where it instantly hardened in thin flakes.
The blade of an ordinary steel table knife
melted like wax in the flame of a fallow
candle under the influence of his touch, and
then, dipping a pen into the dish of burning
water, the profesor went th‘fough the mo-
tions of writing upon a folded newspaper
handed to him by one of the audience. When
the hall was darkened the words. “Phergusou,
the Phire King. right hand of his Majesty
Diablosl” stood out in green flames from the
surface of the paper.
So far, so good. The tricks were per-
formed; but the city editor’s instructions to
find out how they were performed and to
write an expose of the Fire King’s secrets un-
happily were not yet carried out. While the
audience was conveying itself through the
doorway into the street I. elbowed my way
behind the scenes and corralled the professor.
who was engaged in packing his parapher-
nalia. When you want a man to do you a
favor, it is by no means best to approach him
with an obsequious air; if you do, he will
probably tumble to your racket, so to speak,
and give you the cold shake. . I kept my hat
on and paralyzed the professor with a steely
glare and just a shade of hauteur.
“Representing the prom," I said brusquely,
producing a pasteboard. “Are not the
chemicals used in your—#ah-ahé—tricks, are
they not dangerous—of an inflammable nat-

WhiléI'was talking, I made some notes in
amanu'script book, giving the professor the
idea that the jottings were to the efi’ect that
his entertainments were of a character

“Good gracious, sir! no!” he gasped; “by
all means do not publish such an insinuation;
it would ruin me. All my ugentaaro innocent

I smiled cynically—“Yes, of course you say

“But I can prove it. Potassium. phos-
phorus, brimstone, quicksilver. Are they ex-
plosive?"
The trail was getting warm.
“Well. of course, that depends. The potas-
sium, for instance, how do you use it?"
“I drop a small quantity of it upon the sur»
face of . the water in the glass dish. Upon
contact with the water' it immediately flares
up and burns with a rose colored flame.
Simplest thing in the world. . With the brim-
stone I merely touch a piece of steel made
red hot in the flame of a candle, and the steel
melts like tallow. No danger there. A stick
of phosphorus is affixed to my pen when I
write upon the nowapaper, and of course in
the darkness the writing stands out. To wash

Treatment of Whooping Cough.
The following method of disinfection of
sleeping and dwelling apartments and clothes
is recommended by M. Mohn in the treat-
ment of whooping cough. It is said to cure
the'-- cases immediately. The children are
washed and clothedin dean articles of dress
and removed to another part of the town.
The bed room and sitting room or nursery are
then hermetically sealed; all the bedding,
playthings and other srtiolu- that cannot be
washed are exposed freely in the room, in
which sulphur is burned in the proportion of
twenty-five grams to the cubic meter of
space. The room remains thus charged with _
sulphurous acid for five hours, and isthen"

IF WAR BREAKS OUT.
Probable nfl'octs of a Bumper“: Wan-of
Advantage to America.
If war breaks out it is inevitable that there
must be a great fall. Russia by a graat- war
would be almost inevitably rendered bank.
rupt. and a repudiation by Russia wOuld in-
flict terrible low, not only upon the Rumian'
people, but upon German and other investors.
Then, again, the outbreak of a great war
would not improbably cause a panic upon the
Berlin bourso, and possibly also upon that of
Parrs' . Lastly, it is to be recollected that
were a great war to break out the govern.
manta an aged in it would be obliged to fans
very l ‘ loans. If the war lasted long
other loans would he issued in quick succes-
sion, the national debts of Europe would in-
crease cnormously. and thus one of the great
causes tending to raise prices would be
stopped; the supply of securities would he
immome augmented all at once, while the
growth of wealth would be checked.
Wealth, of course, would continue to grow
in the countries that avoided war, and also
in the countries which themselves were not
made the theatre of war, and which had not
too large a proportion of their male popula-
tion in the field; but along with this growth
of wealth there would also be a great do-
struction of wealth. At the very time, there-
fore, in which secm'ities were being most rap-
idly manufactured thoro would be a great
check to the growth of wealth. There .must,
inevitably. therefore. be a fall in prick; ,and
if the war were protracted the fall might be
considerable, and the recovery would be long
delayed.
There might be an exception in favor of
American railroad securities. Even in them
there would boa fall at first, but probably
they would recover quickly—first, because a
great war in Europe would increase the do
maud for American produce; secondly, be-
cause thero would be tendency to send capital
out of the belligerent countries to the neutral
countries for safe keeping and for invest-
ment; and. thirdly. because the population
and wealth of the United States themselva
flowing so rapidly that the home demand tr
securities is vast, while American investors
rarely invest their money in neuritic d
foreign governments, and they would not be
likely to be tempted at a time when those
foreign governments were exhausting their
resources and ruining their prospect» in a ter-

Charity Entertainment In Paris.
Everything that brains and ingenuity can
suggest is being done to raise money for tho
sufferers from the floods in the south. Bo-
sidss establishing headquarters in alldirec-
tions where voluntary subscriptions are re-
ceived, nothing is left undone in the way of
devising forms of entertainment for their
benefit. Every tests “considered, and it is
safe to predict that before the clever people
interested in the fund have finished every one
who-has money to contribute will have gi van
in his mite. ‘
The entertainment par excellence thus far
for this fashionable-charity is the grandee
fates du soloil—a conglomeration of attrac-
tions brought together under the ro‘of of the
Palais do l’Industrio, and supposed to repro.
sent the various occupations and amusements
of the peoploof the south. Artistic or cele-
brated buildings and structures of the south
are here duplicatod.‘ A romantic mill here, a
famous bridge or a picturesque well there;
chalets and cottages scattered about, give a
pleasing efloct, and at the same time serve as '
booths or side shows where the small change
of the visitor easily finds its way. Various
orchestras take turns at one end or the other
of the immense hall; a mixed chm-us is sing-
ing in one comer the Pilgrim's March from
“Tannhsuser,” while in another a band of '
children is shouting a familiar hymn.
Mme. Theo sings one of her wicked songs
from one stage while a long haired tenor
pours out some sontimdntal gush from an-
other; s. Punch and J udyamuses the children;
a lightning crayon artist pleases the vain by
presenting them with hkcnsmee of them-
selves; a snake charmer and an armies and
legless man attract those of morbid‘tastes;
male and female wrestlers, trick horses,» dogs
and goats, a skillful dagger thrower, tum-
blers and performers generally give exhibi-
tions on an open platform; views of the do-
vastations caused by the flood are shown.
The dance of the Tarascon is given by alleged
- men and women of the south; in fact, every
form of amusement that can please old and
young, Frenchman and stranger, plebeian”,
and aristocrat, is presented at tho fates dii‘“
soled—Paris Cor. New York Star.
A Lady Railroad stenogrnpher Talks.
I have often thought that the humdrumlifo
of a stenographer had a tendency to break
down and eventually drive out altogether the
imaginative and poetical in one's nature and
make life practical in all its details. The
murmm'iugs of poesy on moonlight, violets,
memories and hope, grate harshly against the
whisperings of the chief clerk on subject of
drum ' tile and the tariff rate on wheat in car-
loads, with the result of giving the poem a'
dry flavor, savoring of owner’s risk with a
rebate. Leisure hours cannot be devoted to
poetry, because thought must be concentrated
upon rate quotations, billing directions, un-
stamped tickets, while one’s dreams are filled
not with the beautiful, but with mocking
ghosts of rates, tariffs and waybills.
Inspiration may come at times, but so cer-
tainly will also come the rate clerk with the
request to make a hektograph copy of a lot of
per cent sheets. dreadful things with strings
of figures. not nice. even figures, but with
lots of fractions to them which must not be
mixed up with the various other. per cents.
Most of my working hours are spent in arail-
road office, and I have almost given up my
poetical dreams to look after shipments of
water pipes, stove castings, potatoes, butter,
furniture, hams, hides, stoves. oil cakes,
lumber, beer, eggs, live stock, patent medi-
cine, ctc.—Globe-Democrat.
Senator Stanford's Wife. .
It seems Mrs. Stanford willnover be a great
society woman, although this winter. for the
first time since their son’s death, she hm;
come out of retirement and has also enter-
tained some. But she can’t help having her
superb diamonds remarked on and her
gorgeous gems observed. She still wears a
kind of half mourning—the kind which ari-
mits of laco’ and diamonds—and she is a ( 'g-
nifled and fine looking woman. Both she and
Senator Stanford have a life work in per-
petuating the memory of their son in a way
to benefit other people’s sons—and Mrs. Stan~
ford says she is too deeply interested in that:
to give a great deal of time to society. But
W nsbington is such a fascinating kind of
place that she will be just like everybody else '
—give a great deal more time to it and go
out vastly more than she expects—New York

Wales are a Scientist.
The Iandon correspondent of Science
writes that the Prince of Wales has just been
elected an honorary member (probably the
first British one) of the Linnman society,
which has hitherto been somewhat chary of
bestowing its “parchments sealed with wax.”
This famous society was founded in.17_88, and _

founded and was first president of tho Lin-'
mean society. which has comprised in its roll

Mistaken Ideas of the Editor.
Some people seem to think 'that the editor
of a country newspaper ought to be a sort of.
clown, give open air performances in the
streets, tell long yarns, say smart things,
laugh at all he sees and hours, and be a sort
of center figure everywhere he goes. In
other words, he must be a regular hootlicker.
