The Hennepin County Building and Lean association has been formed out of the old Hennepin County Catholic Building and Loan association. The disaffected members, however, will oppose the new organization, and threaten to have a receiver appointed to wi.ul up the affairs of the old com pany. 'resident Johnson of the board of city hall and court house commission ers thinks that a tower without a bell is like a maiden without a mouth. He 1-. already made up his mind that the big tower on the new city hall is to have a large, clear, far-sounding bell which will tell the whole city what time it is. The Prohibition and Populist par ti's are trying to secure recognition bn the board of charities and correc tions, owing to the fact that the terms of Commissioners Cloutler and Hove expire July 1. Both gentlemen have made good records on the board, and it is believed that Mayor Pratt will reappoint them. Some of the aldermen are in favor of permitting bicyclists to use the _■ ide walk in certain portions of the city, but it is probable when the or dinance regulating wheelmen comes up, there will be much opposition to Ihe scheme. The present ordinance is violated every minute of the clay, par ticularly in the speed limit of six miles an hour on streets. The sale of seats for the coming lecture of Dr. T. De Witt Talmage will open today at 9 o'clock at the Metropolitan box office. This will lie Dr. Talmage's first visit to Minne apolis in six yeans, and on Wednes day evening he will lecture at the Metropolitan on "The Bright Side of Things." which is said to be a remark able performance. Further particulars gleaned yesterday afternoon concerning the suicide of Joseph Miller Thursday evening at his home, 2413 Bryant avenue north, show that the probable cau,7e of the act was domestic trouble. Miller choked his wife early in the evening and the sup position is he believed he had killed her, and shot himself to avoid the consequences. He carried $3,000 life In surance, and leaves besides his wife three -step children and two children, the- present wife being his second one. DISTRICT COURT NOTES.

PLAY FOR THE HAMILTON TROPHY NARROWS DOWN TO TWO TEAMS. THE FINAL CONTEST TODAY BETWEEN MINNEAPOLIS AND HYDE I'ARK— INTEREST BE COMING INTENSE. IN THE A. W. I__ PLAY. Many Good Scores. Were Made- Scores In Progressive Fours, The close of the play in the semi finals for the Hamilton trophy justi fied the fond predictions of the Min neapolis men. They will play in the finals today against Hyde Park, of Chicago. The contest was stubborn ly waged all the afternoon and even ing between the Minneapolis big four and the Chicago duplicate, but the fine lead secured by the locals shortly after play was resumed in the evening indicated that the dupli cates would have to play extraordi nary whist to win. Minneapolis played a brilliant game throughout, the element of luck which permeates | the noble game at every point, ap parently not being with the home team. This was particularly re marked in the afternoon game, when their opponents were favored by the Goddess Chance at important points. The play was concluded at 12 (mid night), and the victors who had to go through the ordeal of endless handshaking realized that "every thing is possible to a winner." The score was as follows: Tuesday.

In the final play today which is to decide whether the beautiful trophy is to remain in Minneapolis or go to the Windy City, Minneapolis will engage in a memorable struggle with Hyde Park, it will be a great contest. The ma jority of the delegates pin their faith to John Briggs, the most remarkable whist player that ever lived, and feel certain victory will perch on his ban ner. In the A. W. D. play, great in terest is aroused by the close scores which characterize the contest both afternoon and evening. There was some dissatisfaction expressed be cause some of the players kept private scores, but on the whole the day was one of great interest marked by skill ful playing.

Delegates Hold a Business Ses sion and Consider tlte Ques tion. A business session was held in the morning, at which the report of the committee on by-laws was submitt ed. The report embodies the idea of auxiliary associations, and is in line .with the recommendations of the special committee that had the mat ter under consideration last winter, The by-laws indicate that division will ultimately be necessary in order to intelligently handle the legion of clubs that are springing up in all parts of the United States, all of which are knocking for admittance to the American Whist league. It is likely that the country will be sub divided for whist convenience, each section having its organization of clubs and holding its own tourna ment. Play between the sections j and clubs of the same localities will | determine what men shall represent them in the national events. The by-laws define a club as an organization of twenty players hav ing a club room. On the subject of auxiliary organization, the by-laws recognize such associations provid ing they include in their number ten or more clubs, at least three of which are league clubs. Territory is as signed them by the executive com mittee. The several clubs and as sociations will be governed by their own rules and regulations when they do not conflict with those of the league. Such associations will be entitled to one representative to the executive committee of the league, with the privilege of the floor and debate. The officers of the league remain as at present, but the number of di rectors is made twelve in number. At the annual league meetings as many delegates as desire may at tend, each club being allowed one I vote. Representatives of auxiliary associations are only granted the right of associate members. Under the new order of things a board of appeals will decide on lill ques tions concerning the interpretation of laws. The members are elected for a term of three years by the ex ecutive committee. The annual election of officers re sulted in the promotion of Theodore Schwarz, of Chicago, from the -vice presidency to the presidency; Record ing Secretary W. H. Barney, of Provi dence, 111., to the office left vacant by the elevation of Mr. Schwarz; and As sistant Recording Secretary B. B. Kribben, of . St. Louis, to the place formerly occupied by Mr. Barney. Robert H. Weems, of Brooklyn, was re-elected corresponding secretary, and B. L. Richards, of lowa, as treasurer. As directors, George H. Flsh, of New York, and George W. Morse, of New ton, Mass., were re-elected -to - serve terms of three years each; Gustav Mak, of Philadelphia, and George L.

The meeting then resolved itself into i a wholesale board of thanks. ; Accord ingly, thanks were extended to the Minneapolis Chess, Checker and Whist club and its president, E. J.

The resolution thanking the press of -1 ficially recognized its efforts and hand ■ some compliments were paid the news | reports of the several contests, it be- I ing frequently remarked that no con j gress had ever been so thoroughly and j accurately reported. i Secretary Barney announced yester ' day that the association had closed a I contract with the American Playing I Card Compny of Kalamazoo, Mich. ' This occasions considerable gossip ; among the members, for the American company is the only card manufactur ing concern in the United States which is not in the trust. .The figures on which the contract was closed demand $72 for a gross of cards with the spe -1 cial design of the league on the back, a rate which applies only to purchases in $1,000 lots. WATCHED THE BIG FOUR. • The North side of Hennepin avenue from Fourth street to Sixth street is given over to the business of playing whist, and people having other busi ness in that locality had better take the opposite side of the avenue. Whist starts at the Commercial club and' winds on up the avenue until it settles in Masonic Temple. There It Is in open, free-handed abundance. Dozens of players are contesting for supremacy and spectators are per mitted to observe the play at a respect ful distance. Yesterday was an eventful day in the mighty struggle for the Hamilton trophy. The beautiful prize is a beacon of hope to the tired contestants and enables them to stand the severe strain i of long hours of continuous play. j The teams lined up for play in the 1 semi-finals yesterday as follows: Chicago Duplicate Whist club vs. Minneapolis Whist club.

Today the two winning teams will go into the finals for the coveted trophy, and the interest which yesterday was intense, today will be caloric. There Is no doubt but what Minne apolis will play whist cards at the Commercial club today. That fact was clearly ! established last night, when after a stubborn afternoon's play they had a gain on each of the three sec tions of eight hands, a total of three for the afternoon. But it was when the Big Four settled down to business for the evening play that Minneapolis whist enthusiasts Indulged in a great sigh of relief, for the wonderful Briggs combination started out by winning six of the first eight hands. This was regarded by all the knowing ones as a lead which could not be overcome, and the joyous news that Minneapolis would. win place for play in the finals was received with every manifestation of delight/-- Zyi At the Commercial club last even ing, the Minneapolis club, during a breathing spell, expressed themselves as confident of winning, and their joy : was unbounded. "We are in it," was about all they had to say, but it was enough, and their friends congratu lated them in the heartiest manner. At Masonic Temple play was con tinued in the contest for the American League trophy, which began Thurs day under "Howell's modification of the Mitchell system." The contest has been waged in "fractions," in whist nomenclature, and the plays of the four sittings will all go into one total. Last night the total scores were summarized, and the four teams standing at the top will enter the semi-finals today. The scores at the Temple are not made public until the morning after the play, and but in complete figures showing results can be obtained. After Thursday's play for the League trophy the standing of the clubs was as follows: i Brooklyn won eight fraction match es; Nashville, 7%; Baltimore, 7%. Mil waukee, VA'. Philadelphia, 7; Fergus Falls, 6%; Tacoma, 6%; Wayne, 6%; St. Paul, 6%; Minneapolis, 6; Council Bluffs, 6; American, Boston, E%; Chi cago Whist, 5; Art Club, 5. T,'-; :'l ~ N. D. RIDEOUT is one of the two or three millionaires who are interested, and, perhaps, en thusiastic attendants upon the whist congress. Mr. Rldeout Is accompanied - by his son, E. G. Rideout, and both gentlemen play a good, steady game. Mr. Rideout Is president of the San Francisco Whist club.which has grown to be quite an interesting organiza tion, with its 200 members, many of whom are prominent in that city. Mr. Rideout is not a stranger in Minne apolis. He was here three years ago, 'during the national Republican con vention, .as delegate-at-large from California. Mr. Rideout is an im portant factor in a business way. He is engaged in the banking business in California and elsewhere, and is a di rector of the London and San Fran cisco bank, which is the largest bank ing concern on the Pacific coast. He is a plain, modest gentleman— mod est and assuming, in fact, that very few of the delegates at the congress knew anything about him, excepting 'that he was an exceedingly courteous gentleman, and a good whist player. Mr. Rideout is different from some of the enthusiastic players at the con gress, for he- is willing to "break away" from the theme that is in the heart and mind of every one who came to Minneapolis to play whist, or to see it played. Mr. Rideout is espe cially Interested in the silver question. Upon this subject he says: I "We had that same question to deal with three years ago, at the national convention. I am unalterably opposed to the unlimited coinage of silver. ■ I think such a thing would mean the liquidation of the business of the coun try. If we accept all the silver that is presented at our mints, and put our stamp upon it, gold will leave the country, and we will be paying $1 for what Is worth 65 or 70 cents. I think the national convention of the Re publican party will take just about the same position that it took here in Minneapolis. It will not be found with the gold bugs, as they call the moneyed people, neither will the convention De controlled by a craze. There was a' sort of a craze on the Pacific coast three or four months ago, but I think the tide is turning." Mr. Rideout has traveled around the country ; a good deal, and he is of the opinion 'that there has been a turn In: general business affairs. The improve-; ■ment, although ' slight as yet, >is per ceptible-Mr. Rideout was formerly? a great friend and admirer of James G. Blame, like so many | prominent Cali fornians, .'. but he came to? Minneapolis favoring the nomination- of Harrison. He did not fancy the attitude : of : Mr. Blaine \ In saying he was ■in _ no sense a candidate, and then resigning and going before the convention - as a can didate..../. yyzy Z'\ FOR THE MILL CITY PRIZE. '•-- There is a good deal of Interest ta ken in the contest between the four club pairs that came together in" the Commercial club parlors j yesterday to play off finals for .the cup presented by the Minneapolis f club, and which cost* about $250. After the two days' preliminary play the contest was nar rowed down *to pairs representing Hamilton, Philadelphia, Milwaukee and Albany. . The play .yesterday was In sections. The first and second sec tions were played yesterday afternoon 1 and | evening, . and the final struggle, will be this afternoon. The first com, bination of pairs yesterday, was? the Albany, and Philadelphia against the Milwaukee and Hamilton. Last night the pair combination was Hamilton, and Philadelphia against Milwaukee and Albany. Nothing will be known * about the scores until the final play. The contesting pairs are strong ones, and -it \ would, be the merest specula tions to try. and pick a winner. .■?-_*;.-.•.■ Z FRITZ 'WILLIAMS* CRIME. The Jury Secured and the Case Opened by Mr. Nye. The . Williams murder trial is at last under way, and one witness has been examined. It has taken considerable time to secure a jury, and it was not until late yesterday afternoon that the twelfth man was sworn and County Attorney Frank Nye made the opening address to the jury, and F. E. Haycock, the first witness, was called to swear to plat of the Berglund residence and vicinity, which he had prepared. A good jury has been secured as a re sult of the care taken by the attorneys on both sides.and it is very evidene that the trial will be followed on the same cautious lines. The twelfth juror was Thomas Cor bett, a shoemaker, employed by C. A. Heffelfinger, and residing at 211 Eighth street south. He is a sharp-witted Irishman, and no possible fault could be found with him, except that he was a trifle hard of hearing. He stated that he knew very little about the case, as he had had such a surfeit of the Hayward trial, that he did not read much about it in the papers. He did not know anything about any confes sion that Williams, the defendant, had made, and was not acquainted with any of the men connected with the case. He was not prejudiced against capital punishment, nor insanity as a defense. He was subjected to consid erable questioning, and at the end. County Attorney Nye said, "No chal lenge," and Attorney Cook, for the de fense, said, "Swear the juror." ._;,_ NYE OPENS FOR THE STATE. County Attorney Nye immediately began his address to the jury, saying: , •'I had expected that Mr. Peterson would have opened the case for the state, but he was obliged to go away. As I view this case, it seems unneces sary and perhaps improper to comment at this time, to any great ftxtent, cm its nature and character. The grand jury indicted Frederick L. Wil liams for the murder of H. W. Thomas May 5, and the defendant Is charged with premeditated and deliberate mur der, by means of a loaded revolver, fired against the body of Harry W. Thomas. If we establish this much,, then it becomes incumbent on the de fendant to explain his defense. The 1 evidence shows that the deed was' committed in the night.. I shall not go into any explanation regarding the family relations of the defendant, It. L. Berglund and others. During IS9J_ Berglund was the proprietor of the Windsor hotel. During that time he employed in some capacity about the-: hotel the defendant Williams," who was his son-in-law. Williams' wife was at the hotel at the same time. It was not until about' September of that year that Thomas became a boarder at the, hotel and became acquainted" with either the defendant Williams or hi.. wife. He remained at the hotel up to the time he was killed. , Mr. Berg-, lund left the hotel some time . last' sprig. I do not know and It would be Improper for me to say. what were the-, relations between . -Williams 5 and-. Thomas, but so far as I know there, was no open breach . between them... Thomas v appears to have been treated •somewhat as a special friend of the" family and ate at the family table and paid considerable attention to the family. He evidently conducted him self, so far as the public knows, in a gentlemanly and proper manner. "It appears that some time early, in the winter Williams and his wife had some difficulty, and she went to Grand Forks, where she worked as a milliner, and divorce proceedings were insti tuted by her, and from that time until the time of the homicide it does not appear that she and Williams lived to gether. On the night of May 5 Thomas visited the family of L. Berglund, at Thirty-second street and Chicago av enue. At about 8 o'clock Williams left his home, in the vicinity of Park av enue and Fourteenth street, and start ed to go to the Berglund house, what for I do not know, whether to see his wife or. not. He walked down to the house, which is quite a distance, and just what he did up to the hour, of 11 o'clock that night is a matter for you to determine, largely from the state ments and explanations made after the arrest. At any event he did not enter the house. He had discovered that Thomas was there, and the,evidence, I think/will satisfy you that Williams hung around waiting for Thomas to come out. About 11 o'clock Thomas came out to take his car, and the evi dence on the part of state shows that under cover of the darkness, probably from the shadow of the electric light pole, without a word of warning, Will iams fired the revolver and Thomas fell dead Instantly. That is as I fairly understand the case." FIRST WITNESS CALLED. The first witness was F. E. Haycock, i a civil engineer in the county sur- i veyor's office. He brought with him a ', large plat of the section where Thomas • was killed, including the Berglund resi dence, the Baptist church across the ■> street and even the trees and electric light poles, which may cut a consider- ! able figure in thjs trial. After swear- | ing to the accuracy of the plat, which j scales eight feet to the inch, he ex- ! plained the different points to the jury. j He had even put. down where the street j car tracks, sidewalks etc., were. There was a six-foot walk in front of ; the i Berglund residence- and also around I on the Thirty-second street side. At- | torney Cook, for the defense, had him I go into the minutest detail regarding the distances from the Berglund piazza j to the front walk, from there to the i Baptist church corner, etc. This dis- | tance was . eighty-nine . feet. . The par- j lor in the Berglund residence was | about fourteen square. The electric j light pole '.was twelve Inches in dia- I meter. There were three trees around ; the house, about . two. inches- r in diameter each. There is a projection i of three feet on the side of the house , and -this has a window overlooking Chicago avenue . and Thirty-second | street. There-is? a; window two -feet I above, the -porch and he thought that one might look --through - into the house while, standing on thesidewaßfc There was a four-foot. window on tjfae Thirty-second- street side. On the church corner there was a dead maple tree, about ten' inches -in . : diameter. I It .was evident from these questions ! that the defense is paving the. way tor testimony that Williams could and end j see into the* house from .all sides and* j saw his wife and Thomas in a position '. that caused what the -defense -will In- ! sist was emotional insanity. • y .•*:.■> .. It was . long, after 5 o'clock when-! J Witness Haycock was excused and. the' I j court adjourned: by agreement until I 9:30 this morning... FOUGHT FOR TOWZER.

Some twenty-three contests were arranged by the various com mittees and they proved of greatest in terest to all especially the .ball game, which was a balm to the Minneapolis cranks, who went nearly wild over the manner in which the Apostles from the Saintly City were done up by the rep resentatives of the Milling- district.

HOLTENAU,- June 21.— After vis iting the Russian "armored cruiser Rurik this morning, Emperor Wil liam laid the last stone of the Baltic and North sea canal, in the presence of many thousands of spectators. The weather was brilliant and the ceremony took place in the open air, and not in the lighthouse adjoin-" ing the sluice, as at first contem plated. The scene of the ceremony was embellished by i handsome de signs in landscape gardening, and the lighthouse standing close to the spot showed the three bronze re liefs of Emperor William 1., Freder ick 111. and William 11. Under the' relief medallion on Emperor Wil liam I. is a black marble tablet, on which is engraved in gilt lettering: "His majesty Emperor William I. laid the corner stone of the Baltic canal on June 3, 1887, and accompa nied his blows With the hammer by the words, 'In honor of United Ger many, to her perfect welfare, in token of her might and power.'" The lighthouse, and the block of masonry into which the emperor placed the finishing stone, were sur mounted by enormous scaffoldings rising in a semi-circle and affording seats for about 15,000 people. In lay ing the stone the emperor said: ."In memory of Emperor William the Great,- I christen this canal the Kaiser Wilhelm canal." His majesty then tapped the stone three times, saying: "In the name of the tribune God, in honor of Emperor William, to the weal of Germany and the wel fare of nations." A GORGEOUS SPECTACLE. The most elaborate arrangements were made for today's ceremony. The enormous crown-covered grand stands were filled to their utmost capacity. In the center of the semi circle was a brick tower and a high flagstaff, the first surmounted by the German flag and the latter by the heraldic eagles and the German standard. Behind the spot where stood the commemorative stone was a dais upholstered in crimson and gold. By 11 o'clock all the stands were filled with onlookers and mil itary and naval officers. The em peror, accompanied by the empress and his four sons, came ashore in a barge flying the imperial standard. His majesty wore a Garde dv Corps uniform, and the empress was dressed in a heliotrope costume and carried a primrose colored parasol. The crown prince wore the uniform of the First regiment of foot guards, and Prince Adelbert wore a naval uniform. THE STORY IN THE STONE. After the emperor had tapped the last stone a parchment was placed In side of it, declaring the circumstances of the building and completion of the canal. The chancellor. Prince Hohen lohe. In full official uniform, read the document aloud before depositing it in the stone. It rehearsed the facts connected with the structure, and con cluded: y-yyy Z-- ■■...'.. "Even as we regard it as the foremost duty of our imperial office devolving on us from bur fathers, to ensure the preservation of peace and the posses sions gained by the German race In the domain of national prosperity, liberty and culture. * * * At the same time we wish a memorial to the opening of this new channel of intercourse to be erected, and desire by. this memorial to renew a portion of the thank;, which the German people owe to the great emperor who twenty-five years ago united the German, races In eternal bonds, and with wise foresight began the work now completed. May the rich blessing which attended the rule of the emperor of undying memory rest also upon this work." There was a royal salute from all the war ships as the emperor gave the first tap, and other important per sonages, bareheaded, tapped the stone three time.*, in accordance with Ger man traditions, the bands played dif ferent airs as the various persons touched the stone. The emperor and the imperial party, as well as all the foreign officers and other persons, then returned to their respective ships. The review of the fleet began at 3 p. ,m. As the Imerlal yacht left her moorings the crews of all the vessels iii the harbor manned the yards or rails to. their full strength. The Ho henzollern proceeded slowly down the line, the emperor standing alone on the bridge, the crews of all the craft in.the harbor greeting, his majesty with cheers. THE GREAT BANQUET. The great banquet, which practical ly wound up the ceremonies of open ing the canal, took place this evening in the much-discussed structure repre senting the old German war ship Nl obe. About 1,000 guests participated, including the diplomatic representa tives of the various nations. The ban-" quet hall was a fac simile of a huge vessel of ancient construction, as in vogue in the seventeenth century. The French admiral, Menard, sat on the emperor's right,. and the Russian ad miral, Skrydloff, on his left AMERICAN TARS INJURED.

A Case Where Circumstance" »a justly' Condemned it Man. Port Townsend Cor. San Frr-nclsco Examiner. Circumstantial evidence came veiy near causing a man to be lynched, and also to be unjustly accused of robbery^ That happened nearly thirty years ago on Whidby Island, a few miles from this city, and it required over a quarter of a century to establish the Innocence of the accused. The evi dence of the man's guilt was so con clusive that the people of the Island seriously considered the advisability of lynching him, Inasmuch as he had persistently denied the theft in op position to the testimony of half a dozen witnesses who were positive of his guilt. Finally he was given twen ty-four hours to leave the Island. He' protested his innocence to the last, but he did not lose any time in ac cepting the invitation. The circumstances were as follows: In the early sixties, on Whidby Island, a party of men were at work in a field mowing hay with old-fashioned scythes. A stranger oame along seek ing work, and was given employment. A few hours before a neighbor hap pened along and paid the overseer, Luke Wright, $300 in gold, which was tied up in a buckskin bag and put In a coat-pocket, it lacked some time of being, the noon hour, and the owner ■ carelessly threw the coat on a bunch of grass. All this was witnessed by at least half a dozen men. In using the scythe the stranger had occasion to remove the coat so as to cut the granS. He removed the garment a few feet and laid it in the stubble. At noon the men knocked off pre paratory to lunch. The owner picked up the coat, and the gold was missing. The most dili gent search failed to find its hiding place. Naturally suspicion 'centered on the stranger, and that soon crys tallized into conclusive evidence of guilt. Six men were ready to swear to the facts as stated. The stranger was told In no unmis takable terms that he would be the guest of honor at a lynching if he did not produce the money. The feeling was very strong, but the advice of cooler heads suggested that there might, be a doubt as to the man's guilt, as the money could not be found in hi. possession. The matter was settled by driving the stranger off the island. No one ever doubted his guilt, and many expressed the opinion that after stealing the gold he hid it, and at a later date returned for the treas ure. That was the way the matter stood for more than thirty years. The field In which the men worked was tilled year after year, and grad ually the story of the lost gold as sumed the phase of a legend. Not many years ago the farm was pur chased by John Gillespie. Like his pre decessors he continued to plow the land and sow crops. One day the up turned furrow revealed the presence of two or three $20 gold pieces. A find like that beat farming all to pieces. In an Instant he was down on his knees scratching in the dirt and pick ing up coin. He found more and more of the double eagles until the amount ran up. to $760. The most diligen. search failed to reveal any more hid den wealth. Then when the story was known the old-timers decided that the gold was found just about the spot where Luke Wright, thirty years before, had lost the bag containing $900. But he and his fellow-workers had long since drifted away from the island, and their whereabouts are unknown. But, never theless, Gillespie's find has established the innocence of the stranger who was unjustly accused of robbing his em ployer, and who, had he been arrested, "would doubtlessly have served a term ln the penitentiary for larceny. HUNG HIMSELF In Order to Exhibit His Power of Endurance. San Francisco Examiner. The Japanese of this city and vicin ity had a jollification at East park to day over the victory of Japan over China. About 500 Japanese celebrated. There was an oration, music, games and fireworks. The Japanese orator told of the conquest of China, com pared the) battles with the French con quests in the Orient, and challenged comparison of the war methods of Japan with those of the best of the European powers.

"I want to impress upon every one of my countrymen," he- said, "that America is a friend of Japan. But Great Britain and Russia are our ene mies, and use every artiflec to circum vent our intellectual and industrial development. Remember that America has been our friend to help rather than retard our national progress." The feature of th». day was a curious exhibition of the powers of endurance under a mcst unique test. The subject was a venerable man of low stature and hair quite whitened with age. Four bamboo sticks were crossed quite close to the center and the ends were held upon the shoulders of four men. Into the small square made at the crossing of the poles the old man In serted his head, whereupon the four polehearers tightened the square by slipping the poles, and the old fellow was literally suspended by the neck. Just what the point of the test was could not be ascertained from looking on, but it seemed to be that the hang ing man was to endure his torture until some one or more of the bearers got tired of, holding the pole end. The old Jap continued in that strange po sition for 11 minutes, when some one noticed a strange twitching of tho hands. The old man was let down and dropped to the earth as if dead. It took a long while to revive him. AWFUL SORRY, And Willing to Do tl_» Part to- Avert a Failure. Detroit Free Press. He stopped in front of a dry goods store which had a big sign in' the win dow reading: "Tremendous Sacrifice!'

"Yes, sir." "That's too bad. Won't be a failure- In business, will It?" "We hope not, but prices must bo slaughtered." "I'm awfully sorry. They keep kall ker here, don't they?" "Oh, yes.

A bicycle expert has Invented a ma chine propelled by electricity to act as pacemaker for wheelmen, in the hope of lowering the record. The ma- .. chine ha: three wheels, Is eleven feet long, pointed at the front end, anil about five feet high. It i.s shaped like a torpedo boat, with a curved roof extending back to afford shelter to ; the bicycle rider behind it. The ma- : chine is mounted on ordinary bicycle wheels with pneumatic tires, and Is driven by storage batteries applied to a motor connected to the rear axle. The operator sits well forward, and controls the speed and direction. The machine weighs 700 pounds, and require! three-horse power to run It. A sporting authority states that a rec ord made behind such a machine would probably not be allowed, as the rider would have an undue advantage from the lack of air resistance.
