Some Remarkable Instances of Longevity Cited, Thomas Parr, who was born in Shrop- shire, England, in 1348, lived until he killea himself from overeating in the year 1635, when he had attained the greatage of 152 years, He lived in three centuries and tilled the soil until after the end of his 113th year, King Charles I heard of the wonderful old man and sent him to come and dine at the royal mansion. Parr had alway: (for 152 years at least) been used to the most simple fare. At the king’s table he let his appetite get away with him and ate so much that he died the same night.

REAs R A Lawyer P es th utton, A New York lawyer who was on a sleeping car the other night, says the Tribune, unwittingly caused something of n stir among his fellow passengers. Every one had gone tosleep ana nothing arose to disturb the slumbers of the travelers until about 3 a. m. Then the bell in the porter’s room began to ring. It was one of those rings which settlea down to hard work at once and, as they say, just do nothing but saw wood. It was a steady, perfectly contented ring. Soon it became apparent that it was no sprinter, but a long-distance champion, for it rang and rang, as only an electric bell can ring to wreck a man’s nerves, Some one in the end of the car awakened and groaned: “IFor heaven’s sake, stop that racket! If you want the porter, go out and get him. Don’t wake the whole car up.” But the ringing continued. “For God’s sake,” cried a little man, leaping into the aisle, his hair standing on end, “‘what’s the matter, is the hotel on fire?” The bell sawed wood steadily. “Stop that ringing,” bawled a full lunged man, sticking his head out be- tween the curtains and glaring savagely at the little man. A baby woke up and began to howl. Tts mother tried to calm it and its father sworo like a trooper. e threatened to have the life of the man who was mak- ing that “‘infernal noise,” and the bell bluzed away as merrily us if it were a twenty-four hour alarm clock. Everybody in the car awakened excopt two people—the porter and the New York lawyer. Then a delegation started to the porter’s room to assassinate him. They found him dozing peacefully on a seat, while the beil was now carrying on its work with the regularity of a patent circular saw warranted never to stop. The wrathful passengers decided that before they cut the porter’s throat it would be wise to have him stop that bell. They pulled him to his feet, and shouted in his ear, and when he opened his eyes thoy yelled: “Bell! Stop the bell! bell!” The porter went down to the lawyer’s berth and stuck his head between the curtains, *Did you ring, sah?” he asked. There was no answer from the lawyer, though the vell kept up its' ringing, while the baby ran a rival noise-making factory and its angry father invented magnifi- cent swear words, *Did you ring, sah?” repeated the porter. and the nervous mother began Stop that 10 s0h. But the lawyer slept sweotly, one kneo, which had restiessly moved against the panel in the night, pressing the button 0} the electric bell, and it and the paby did the rest. oty ernment In Germany. Prof. F\ Peabody, in the March Forum: With us, municipa! offices are the spoils of succesaful politicians; in Germany they ure prizes of successful experts. It scems to a German as in- credible to hear of a city governed by men who are just pausing on their way to some higher place as it would be to hear of a railroad or of a cotton mill thus superintended. Good city admin- istration with us is an accident, It curs because the man with the appoint- ing power huppens to appoint a good agent. In Germany, city work is a science as far from’ politics ns is the science of engineering or architecture, Each salaried alderman is responsible for a single department, or for soveral closely allied parts of the public business. He does notserve, as do our aldermen, on three or four scattered committees— schools, licenses and sewers—about none of which he has any scientific knowl- edge. He is elected to hisoffice because of his knowledge and skill in a special field of municipal work, and takes charge of that department. Thus, city work offers to & young German & life carcoe, just as railroading or manu- facturing does in America. An edu- cated man makes a special study of water works or building laws or poor re- liof. He learnsthe methods of the best European cities, Ho serves his time in the administration of some small town, and perhaps gets a place at the head of his chosen department in some small city, and tries to make that departmens a model of efficiency and economy; finally, he finds the end of his profes- sional ambition in boing promoted to the same work in one of the great civies of the kingdom. Here he has » place of dignity in the social world, and, if suc- cessful, holds a life office with the as- surance of a pension for himself and his family, -—— DeWity's Sarsaparilia is reliable, Dacolt Chief Ne d to Death, RANGOON, March 14.—The celebratea Dacoit chief, the Minlaung prince, leader of the revolt against the British near Arrakan, bas been condemned to deatb.

It 1s asserted by those who know that the hasty examinationof the records reveal a shortage of something like $2,200 in the accounts of General Cole, Checks drawn by the genoral for the payment of his family expenses are in the hands of those who ure pushing the inquiry. General Cole mot with the military board last weok and stated that he could and would explain the apparent shortage in a manner perfoctly satisiactory to all parties concerned, and even thoso closeat to the present administration do uot hesitate to declare their belief in his ubility 10 do 80, and that the state will not ve the loser of u single penny. Changes In the Law Needod. Spoaking of the charges that are being whispered around tho state house corridors agaiust the lato adjutant general, a promi- nent state official said this afternoon chat the laws of Nebraska are deficient in at least one respect. Ho sald that no fund appropri- ated by the legislature should be disbursed by any other officers than the troasurer, who should only pay out such funds upon war- rants {ssued and signed by the auditor. If General Cole had disbursed the money ap- propriated by the legisiaturo for the support of the militia in this manner ho might escane somo of the criticism which is being brought against him at the present time. Changing the Tactics. Adjutant General Vifquain was today pro- paring a general order instructing ali com- pauies of the Nebraska National guard to adopt the new tactics and rezulations pre- scribed by the War department for the regu- lar army. The now tactics will be adopted by the national guwrds of all states in_order 10 bring the guards in full accord with tho regular army, of which it is properly an auxilliary. General Vifquain thinks the now tactics are no particular imorovement over the old ones. ‘Ihey are calculated to be showior than the old ones and aro harder to mastor. The Nebraska troops will, of course, take up the new regulations and by the next encampment will oxhibit ‘them with their usual pepficiency. Will Undoubtedly Recover. It is now believed that Judge Borgelt, who was shot in the police court by adrunken vagabond last woek, will recover from the effects of his wounds, His condition uas steadily improved since Saturday night, ana his family, as woll as his physicians, feel greatly encouraged. No indications of in- flammation have as yet mado their appear- ance, aud ho is abloto_receive nourishment atintorvals. The portion of the bullet is still occupying a place in the hidden recesses of bis brain, and it will always remain there if ho recovers. Whether it will always be a source of danger to the judge it he recovers his physicians are unable to say. His friends gain no little encouragement from tne ac- count of the'maa in Nebraska City who died recently, aftor living for over twenty years with a bullet imbodded 1n his brain.

The rain must also be con- fined 1o the county purchasiog, for this great boon s not free.

A case recently heard before Judge Gireshar of the United States circuit court for the First district of Michigan goes to show that porsons who use whisky must bo on the alort if they would escape being im vosed upon. Tho plaiatifts are Hiram Walker & Sons, limited, of Walkerville, Canada, distiliors and bottlers of a whisky known as “‘Canadian Club" Under the Canadian oxcise regula- tions whisky may remaia in bond indefl- nitely, and the distiiler may, i€ he so wishes, bottle'it while still in thoe custody of the gov ernment officors, and thereby . obtmin an ex- cise cortificate of the ago and genuineness of tho liquor in the form of an oficial stamp over th cork of each bottlo. This guaran tee is naturally very much prized by the dis- tillers who have the old whisky to secure it, ana all whisky vottled by the Watkerville os* tablishment s so guaranteed. A Chicago firm have put up a spirit which they call “Montreal Club,” alleged to be made by the “Montreul Distilline company.” which was shown to have no existence. In all but namo, the Walker labels were closely imitated, as was also the official stamp of the Canadian excise. The proceedings wore rendered somewhat novel by the appoarance of Mr. Z. A, Lash, Q. C. of Toronto, on_be- haif of tho dominion covernment, to Supnort the application of the plaiutiffs to restrain dofendants from further uso of the counter- feit cortificate, The defendants were prompt- ty enjoined from continuing to infringe upon plaintifi’s trade-mark or labels, or to copy the Dominion excise stamp. A significant featurc of the case was tho production by the defendants of aftidavits by soveral liquor dealers of Chicazo and Datroit, who hardly could be ignorant of the cnarac- ter of the goods 10 question.

Aunton Webber and Alfred €, Ogle In Serlous Trouble. ‘Tho state, in the caso against Anton Web- ber, charged with selling liquor on Sunday, failed to prove that Webber was a licensed saloonkeoper and ho was discharged, tho court holding that the provisions of the Slocumb law were for the regulation of licensed saloons. It developed during the trial that witnesses for the prosecution had been bought off, and the police judge adyvised an wvestigation. Sergeant Ormsby looked into_the matter a little and the result was a_complaint charg- ing Alfred C. Uglo with compounding & crimo. The complaint charges Oglo with ac- copting o bribo of $10, paid to him by Web- ver, as au inducoment to stay aw ay from the trial and refrain from prosecuting the case. As a result of Ogle's absence the prosecution failed to prove anything and the case fell through. A warrant was fssucd and given to De- toctive Savage, who founa Ogle sitting on tho curbstone 'in front of the Paxton hotel and placed him under arrest.

A REMARKABLE CASE. An Indiann Man Saved by a Dis= covery. ’ A remarkablo case has occurred in our territory. J. N. Berry, a man about thirty years of age, was going down rapidly. He tried physician after physician, patent medi- cines, home receipts—in fact, everything, He went to a noted sanitarium and réturned no better. Wao all thought ho was dying with consumption, and that only a few weeks of lifo wero left for him. He commenced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, and at the same time commenced to mend. Ho has used about two dozen_bottles, and is still using it. He has gained in wéight, color and strength, and is able to do light work.

A 7 Aftor Years of Unsucosssful Search for a Cure, Martin Anderson Gets Reliof from the Chinsss Dootor-A Volanticy Tt monial. OMATIA, Neb.. Jan To whom It May Concern: This is to_cortify that I have boen a constant sufforer for many years with catarch, asthma and bronchial affec- tions of the throat. and tried all the vatent medicines and remedios [ ever heard of, but with no success, I treated with doctors in various parts of the country, but none of them could do ma any good further than giviag mo shor temporary relief. I suffored night an- y. and continued to grow worse not vithstanding all the medicine I had tuken, I had almost given up my case as hopeless when L was informed by a friond of Dr. C. Gee Wo, the Chinese doctor, and advised to go and seo him in the hope of gotting relief at least, if not a permanent cure for my trouble. I was slow in making up my mind to make such a radical change 10 my troatment, as [ knew a trial with tho Chinese doc- tor would bring me, but I finally con - cluded to give him a trial, so I callod at his office with that intention, I tound the doctor a clover, ontertaining gentie- man, thoroughly postod on my condi- tion, and it took only a very short time to convince me that he was the party [ was 80 long in senrch of. He told me my caso was curable, and that he could cure me, and prepared me a svecial treatment to suit my condition, and in two woeks [ was so much better that I had the fullest confidence in the doctor’s ability and committed my case to his treatment. [ continued o grow botior rapidly and am now eutirely woll. I owe my cure to Dr. C. Goe Wo, and am not ashamed to admit it. 1 adviso all who want relief from their troubles to callon Dr. C.
