A fi days ago thore was burled In nnrnklyn, N. Y., the body of William Irlser. aliu "JiiiiiImi," 43 years of ne. In waa known as "The King of Tramps," and for the pant twenty years is one of the most interest in rhar- eters of the city. Ho was the son of the mayor of a town In Cermuny, and hroiiRh a money broker was In receipt f an allowance of $100 every three months. Kven under tho dirt of a tramp he showed his breodiiiR. Tall and com manding In appearance, be was in the tiahit of romindinft all with whom he ame In contact that although a tramp he w ut once a gentleman. Of the thou rtuiuls who knew him no one could con- niilict him. Twenty years ago lie made his appcuranee In Itrooklyn. It was at he time when lodging houses were at- achod lo the station bouses. He was ever about tho lledford avenue station. leaning and tending the furnaces. All attempts to make him talk of his pre vious life wore a failure. His only an- wer was: "I am a gentleman if I am a tramp." It waa his pleasure on receiv- ng a remittance to take his friends out and get them drunk and then pay their flnoa. Through the money broker It was learned that "Jumbo" gained 9 -fold modal during the Franco-Prussian war, but that having incurred the enmity of the (lOrmnn government he came to this country. Kighteen months ago, on expressing a wish to reform, hla rela tives sent him $1,000, with which he started in the furniture business; but failed. An officer found him sitting on the steps of the hospital at Bedford ave nue and South Third Btreet. He awoke him. "Keep moving," said the olllcer. Jumbo's reply, "They don't know me any more," waa scarcely audible, but be kept moving aa best he could. A few hours later another olllcer found hira sitting in tho gutter. He made an at tempt to get up, but fell back uncon scious. He waa taken to the station house, where he died. Fortunately the regular $100 remittance waa received the day after, and he was not hurled In the potter's field. lU-ad Thl and Art rrniplly-lnwer Talay. lki you devlre to support Americans lnhuinoMi?

THE MYSTIC THREE. 8oitirllilu( About th Tlinf-Honored Muprratltton for Ilia Number. I was reading an article the other day on the superstitious regard for the number three, and It set me think ing. There must be something in It. The third repetition of anything is gener ally looked upon aa a crisis. An arti cle may bo twice lost and recovered, but when lost the third time is lost for good. Twice a man may pass through some great danger In safety, but the third time he loses his life. If, however, the mystic third can be uccessfully passed all Is well. Three was called by Pythagoras the perfect number, and we frequently find Its use symbolical of deity. For Instance there are the Trinity of the Christian relig ion, the trident of Neptune and the three-forked lightning of Pluto. In my thology there are the three Fates, the three Furies and the three Graces. Shakespeare Introduced three witches. I can remember the old nursery rhyme about the three wise men of Gotham, and the song of the three blind mice whose tails were cut off by the farm er's wife. I have heard of three volume novels, and know that most doctors order their medicine to be taken three times a day. We eat three times a day. The Bible speaks of a man being thrice blessed. The old saw "If at first you don't suc ceed, try, try again" gives three trials. Cleveland tried three times for the presidency and succeeded twice. Surely he is not going to brave fate and try again? man up: ahead!"- Poplsh Education In Ireland. The Iklfa.st irtiie.s, the organ of the Irish Presbyterian Church, is aware o( the dangers which threaten Protestant ism under the government. It takes up the proposal of the Spectator for the establishment and endowment of a Ro man Catholic University, and says that the Spectator "keeps carefully in the background the (act that the Irish Ro man Ca '.holies have Maynooth endowed by the state (or some half-million of British morey, entirely under the con trol of the Italian Pope, or Prince, or both. It omits to mention the facts that to all the rewards, exhibitions, etc., of the Royal University, Irish Ro man Catholics have tho same freedom of access, the same 'protection (or their religious opinions, aa have the other denominations o( the country. It overlooks the fact that thirteen fellow ships, with 400 per annum each, are tlikrd on tha Keacnern. "Charlie Prown later on the famed Aretemus Ward of literature and I were walking toward the office along toward 1 o'clock In the morning, when we were reporters together on the Cleveland Leader." said Gen. Warren P. Edgarton, "when we heard piercing cries from the second story of the house. " 'Ah, ha! Beauty In distress!' ejacu lated Brown. 'Let's go over.' "Over we went, and into the room where the trouble was. We saw a burly fellow fearfully belaboring his little mite of a wife, and I rushed in to do the saving act. Well, that fellow was a whopper. The table was set for a meal, he evidently being some sort of a night-worker, ana tne nrsi ining ne did was to swing me across the top of it, making a clean swetp of the dishes and the hash. Then I was fired under the table and had it overturned on me. Just then as I got a chance to breathe, I looked around to see what Brown was doing for the relief of the country. " 'Time!' he shouted; and as I turned my banged-up head I saw him perched on a chair on the corner, with his watch in his hand, enjoying the situation hugely. "The ruffian let me up and we two proceeded on our way. The next day after I had the pleasure of reading a vivid account of the fight described by rounds' as Brown saw the scrap." Philadelphia Call.

Absolutely Free From Poisonous Matter ot Any Kind HSAPQUARTSRS IHi London, England, Glasgow, Scotland, New York, Chicago, Omaha. HAVING investigated this Horse and Cattle Food, and having become convinced that it was superior to any preparation on the market today, I have consented to take the general agency for the Middle and Western States. It is now being used by many of the leading horse and cattle men, some of whom testify to its worth and money-saving qualities. Among the number who have endorsed it may be mentioned: Robert Bonner, Esq., of the New York Ledger; William Lockhart, Esq., Veterinery Surgeon; Lan Mace, tne lainous trainer and driver, and II. E.

This Condiment is recommended by a dairyman who saya his cows gave one-third more milk while he used it during the winter. It is just the stuff to build up all stock, and is a great feed-saver on account of its nutritious qualities. Price per Barrel (150 pounds) t SI 1.00 100 Pounds 8.00 BO Pounds 5.
