TUB tXO OF I'K.VNSVI.VANIA (JAMM.KRS WIN'S THK UAtmilTKR OK THE 'ATE LAWYER JOHNSON. "Handsome Harry," the king of Ramblers has eloped. The girl who lied with him is Lizzie Johnson, a Danville heiress, The elopement has caused the greatest sensation the lit tie town has ever witnessed. "Hand some Harry"! is known in every town in the state of Pennsylvania. He is already married and lives in the city of Wilkes-Barre with his wife and sev eral children. ) Miss Johnson is the daughter of the late William C." John son, who for years had the reputa tion of being the most popular man in Montour county. - He held the office of register and recorder all this time and it was impossible to have him re moved, notwithstanding that his op ponents were considered the biggest men in the. county, i J ( ' Lawyer Johnson , died nearly a year ago, leaving an estate valued at may thousand dollars. Three; 'daughters and a son survive him.' The most at tractive of the three girls was Miss Lizzie. Shef was het- father's favorite and he bestowed upon her all That wealth could afford, ' She had graduated in 'music at the Boston conservatory, . having been a pupil of the great Adamoski. Her pret ty face had won for her a host of ad mirers, but she clung to her home in Danville where she met the man with whom she afterwards eloped. "Hand some Harry's" real name 'is Harry Latermore. He was bom in the town of Trcvcrton. . i ,j . ' - He has been arrested quite fre quently but always manages to come out victorious. Several weeks ago he left Wilkes Barre and went to Dan ville. Soon after his arrival in that town he became acquainted with Miss Johnson. Several weeks ago the gambler called on his lady love and the latter's brother Samuel informed him that he should cease his visits. Last Saturday evening two weeks ago he again went to the Johnson mansion where he was met at the door by the girl's brother. He ordered him not to enter. . As ''Handsome Harry" was about turning to leave Miss Lizzie made her appearance at the door, and on hearing her brother's command said, "If he leaves, I leave." The gambler, however, walked down the street, and the following Monday morning the girl packed her trunk, and after kissing her sisters good by, left the mansion saying she would earn her living for a year and at the expiration of that time marry "Handsome Harry." Miss Johnson disappeared, and from that time her whereabouts have been shrouded in mystery. "Handsome Harry" likewise vanished, and there is little doubt but that the couple elop ed. ' i ' ' Right and Left-Handedness- THE USE OF THE RIGHT HAND DUE DEVEIX)PEMENT OF THE RIGHT DRAIN. TO Physiologists and others have given much time to the discussion of right and left-hande,dness as exhibited in the human species. The opinion now generally held is that the prefer ential use of the right hand is not due in individual cases to early training, but to a superior developement of the left lobe of the brain, which, as is well known is connected with the light side of the body. The general use of the right hand in preference to the left may be as cribed to the education of the races through generation after generation. No animals show any unusual incli nation for the special use of the right limbs. The attribute, belonging sole ly to the human race, probably arose gradually from the use, by the earlier races of men, of the right arm in fighting, while the left arm was re served to cover the left side of the body, where wounds, as their exper ience showed them, were most danger ous. ; r- : ' Those "who neglected" this" precau tion would be most likely, to be killed; and hence in 'the' lapse of time the natural survival would make the hu man race! "right handed," with occa sional revisions, of course by "atav ism" to the "left handed" condition. The more frequent and energetic use of the right limbs would react upon the brain and bring about the exces sive developement of the left lobe of that organ, such as now generally ex ists. The left hand should be used as much and as often as possible, thus adding strength to mind and body. Front, the Ait. Lwi Rcpublicatt. i ,,. Murdered- The body of Julias Baer was found by freighters five miles west of here Tuesday morn, In a terribly mangled condition. His head ,and' face were smashed, so as to be hardly recognized, and numerous wounds were found on his body. - Mr. Baer was agent for the great blood medicine, Sulphur Bitters. Robbery was undoubtedly the motive, as he was well known to have a large sum of money on his person. As we go to press there is no clue to the per petrators. Colorado Press. I 7-J4-at, Children Cry for Pltoher'a C98tr!a, , . Baraum's White Elephant- PRESS AGENT THOMAS'S ACCOUNT OF A GREAT CIRCUS WAR. David S. Thomas was for twelve years press agent for P. T. Barnuin's show, and prob .bly few who have been conncqted with the great showman have had better chance to see Mr. Uarnum in his daily life and business career than Mr, Thomas. "I was press agent for Mr. Barnum from tS7 until 1884," said Mr. Thom as, "And during that time1 1 had prob ably more to do with Mr. Barnum than any of his other agents,' for the reason tjiat $ kept right along with the show, whilq the others wete, usually ahead. ThcgTe.it white elephant war in Phil adelphia was one of the greatest things that Mr.' Barnum' tver .. had i on his hands.- It was in 1883 and both Bar num and f orenaiHi were billed to ex hibit jn Philadelphih about the same time. Barnum had a genuine white elephant from Siam,' and Torepaugh Had one he-advertised as the only white elephant in this counuy, but we knew it wain t a genuine one. , - "Well, the war waxed hot and fierce. Mr. Barnum gave us instructions to carry it to the very ! end. Columns weren't anything to us1 then ;' we pur chased whole page3 of the newspapers, and advertised all the time. Mr. Bar num afterward told me that the news paper bills for the three weeVs amount ed to $10,000, and I know that the bill posting and other advertising came to as much more. Philadelphia was Fore- paugh's home, but we made it ' lively for him. We knew that his white ele phant was painted, and we sent over to I-ondon for two boys who had done the job. Our agent got them and ship ped them over. Bill Durand, another of Barnum's agents, and myself went down from New York in a tugboat and took the boys off on their arrival s i that Forepaugh's men couldn't get hold of them. We disguised them and took them to Philadelphia. They were about 16 or 17 years old, and made up first class as a country boy and girl. In this disguise they purchased tneir tickets and went into the tent where the so-called white elephant was. The first chance they got when nobody was looking they called 'Tiny (that was the name of the elephant), and it recogn ized them and struggled to reach them. We took the boys right before a notary public and they both made affidavit to having painted 'Tiny' with two coats of paint over iu London. The next day we published the whole thing in the papers and it made a great sensa tion. "Then Forepaugh's men trumped up some horse doctor who certified that he had scientifically examined the elephant and that it was a genuine one and not painted. We put detectives on his track, and we soon found that he was not a doctor and that his only diploma was one of those bogus Buch anan affairs that he paid $35 for. We let this fly at the Forepaugh people, i "The white elephant business fell through after a while, however. Fore paugh took his out west and it was final ly laughed and cuyed at ro that he took it out of his show. Barnum left his at his headquarters in Bridge-port the next year and never ran it on the road again. I think it was burned in the big fire at Barnum s quarters some years ago. Barnum s elephant was cream clored, but it was as white any elephant from Siam. Forepaugh s was agood deal whiter, but there was no doubt but that his was painted." New Haven Register.

Nerviest Man in America. The nerviest man in America has been discovered. He is a tramp and when last seen was disappearing around a corner in Topeka, Kan., one day last week. He had entered a restur ant and ordered an elaborate meal. After eating it with great relish he took his check, walked to cashier's desk and coolly informed him that he had no money. The cashier put his hand to a shelf under the desk, produced a pistol and ordered the man to pay "What's that?" the tramp asked, point ing to the pistol. "That si'," answer ed the other, "is a. revolver." An ex pression of relief came over the man's face, as he replied v. "Oh, I don't pare a straw for a revolver j I thought it was a stomach pump, Good afternoon."
