One til the noted characters of Cincin
nati, tins "steeple cliniler," lied the otlier
niglit. His name in full was Joseph Kk1
riguez Weston and neaily tliirty years ho
has been climbing steeples in this city,
No point was too high and dizzy fur him
to reach and maintain Ins steady foothold.
Of late years lie would undertake only
those diflicitf t feats that appalled others.
It was his pardonable boast that he could
go as high or higher than any otlier man.
There are manv stories of his hazardous
exploits in this city. The most notable,
probably, was the draping of the cathe
dral spire on the night following Arch
bishop l'urcelrs death. Qn the ground
below were H,W) or 4,000 people eagerly
watching for a gla:ice at the daring man
as the lightning Hashes revealed him ou
the dizzy height.
Weston, when only 12 years of age, had
placed the tip on the same steeple. An
other feat that was talked about at the
lime was on the night of July 1ST'!.
Weston climbed the spire of the Presby
terian church on Fourth street, the tallest
in the city, and nailed fast the stars and
stripes, 280 feet from the ground. It was
on this occasion that he had a narrow es
cape. Weston had obtained from Michie,
the jeweler, a heavy goldchain, the links
of which were all solid. His chain, when
he Mas falling, held him for a brief mo
ment, during which the climber succeeded
in regaining his hold. Cincinnati En
quirer. A Horrible Traftic at Paris.
A horrible kind of traffic lias just been
discovered here by the river police. It is
customary for the boatmen of the Peine
to receive 13 francs for each dead body
which they find in the river after they
have given due notice of their discovery
at the Prefecture of Police. This premium
is not paid in the two departments adjoin
ing the Seine, and the Paris boatmen ac
cordingly go down to the rivers and
canals in thse departments (Seine-et-Oise
and Seine-et-Marnc), where they re
ceive the bodies of drowned people from
local river-bank loafers and tow them up
to the metropolis. This kind of thing has
been going on for some time, and was
only brought to light recently by the
police and octroi agents, who examine all
the boats coming into Paris. The agents
had just inspected a boat and were going
away when they saw two ropes astern of
the craft. These they pulled tip and found
two dead bodies attached to them. The
boatman then admitted that he had paid
five francs for each body at Asnieres to a
man who had found them down the river.
The boatmen of the Seine have been fre
quently taken to task for wrangling with
each other over the bodies of persons who
have been found drowned in the river
within the precincts of the city, but this
is the fst time that f;uch a remarkable
speculation as that described has been re
corded of them. Paris Cor. London Tele
gniph. Tlio Free Delivery System.
Superintendent Bates of the free deliv
ery service, post office department, says
that the cities of the country are showing
great backwardness in calling for the
service to which they are entitled under
the law passed last winter giving it to
towns of ten thousand inhabitants, or to
towns whose post office receipts reach
$10,000 per year. "Why," he said, "we
get letters every day from towns entitled
to the service indignantly referring to the
fact that we have given the service to
rival towns of the same size and neglected
them. They will make no application for
the service, and we can send no inspectors
to the town, except upon application. The
fact of it is that a large number of these
towns don't ask for the service because
such a movement is discouraged by the
postmaster. lie i3 afraid that if the serv
ice is established his box rents will fall off
and his income decrease. lie is aided by
the grocers near the post office, by the dry
goods house, and by the man in whose
store the post office is kept all of whom
are interested in having the crowd come
to the post office for its mail, instead of
having it carried to them. As a result
citizens groan and complain because a
neighboring town gets the service and
their own towu is neglected by the post
office authorities. Towns will get the
free delivery system when citizens take it
into their own hands to make an applica
tion to the department for it. ' ' New York

"Well Preserved PSiiladelplilans.
The Philadelphia Ledger's recapitula
tion of it3 local obituary columns for the,
last six months savors of the Old Testa
ment chapters. It shows that longevity,
so to speak, is not dying out in the big
town by the Delaware. The mortuary
announcements of persons who had lived
to or beyoud the advanced age of eighty
years numbered 4CG, of whom 181 were
men and 2S5 were women. A similar
record for the tirst six months of 1S&G
contains a total of 413. The demise of
four male and four female centenarians is
recorded thus far this year. One of these
reached the age of 104 and another 103.
How many well preserved Philadelphians
there rr.ay be who are buoyantly scaling
their twelfth or thirteenth decade does not
appear. Bu it is comforting to think
tliat the old gentleman who heard the
historic peul of the Liberty Cell is still
numerously among us. The statistics
likewise show that the Ledger has a
clientele old enough to know a good
thing when they see it. N. Y. World.
A Human Heart Clogs a Swltcli.
" Yes," said Special Officer Frank Har
rigan, of the Pennsylvania railroad, "we
railroad officers have to look at queer
things sometimes and strange occurrences
fall to oiir lot ; but the most sickening
event I ever experienced was at Thirty
seventh street, Philadelphia. It was a
dark nij.:ht, an l I remember well that the
leverman in the tower had to call up the
station agent to help him move the lever.
A dispatch r.rrived about that time from
the depot which stated that a passing train
had killed a man at or near the station.
Investigation revealed the horrible fact
that a man had been killed there and that
it was the poor fellow's heart which had
fallen into the switch and clogged it so
that it was impossible for the leverman
in the tower to make the lever work."

A Philanthropic 'Woman's Plan.
An industrial school for boys is pro
posed at Chicago by Mrs. Cella W. Wal
lace, a rich and philanthropic woman.
She wants an incorporation with a capital
of $300,000, and a large and interested
public support. The idea is to have the
institution both home and school, and, be
sides the dormitories and workshop, there
will be a military drillroom and a school
house, where the rudiments of an educa
tion can be acquired while the boy i3 learn
ing a trade in the workshop. Homeless
waif3 will be taken there and have a
chance. There -will be nothing to prevent
"any boy going back to the street if he
chooses, and this liberty will naturally
eif t out the hopelessly bad, leaving in ths
school those worth saving. N. Y. Sun.
