Llftiij at Elephant
London has been entertained lately
1y fcits of strength that are certainly
remukaule an J probably unsurpassed
in modern times. First there was a
man named Sandow, who was an enor
mousty powerful man j he was succeed
cd by Sampson, and he in turn by an
Irish-American named Sullivan. Cur
iously, the three names begin with the
letter S, which is also the initial ot
'strength," and of the Greek word for
strength (tithenos). Sullivan, the latest
comer, is thirty years of age, stands 5
feet 8$ inches in height, and weighs
168 pounds. His appearance presents
little that is unusual in the way of mus
cular development, and his biceps are
neither very Urge or wonderfully rigid,
It is in his neck and jaw that his
strength chiefly lies, and the majority
of his feats arc such i as bring this pe
culiarity into special prominence. At
an exhibition given in London, he
fastened a chain to a 50-pound weight,
and the other end being gripped be
tween his teeth, swung himself round
and round until the twirling chain as
sumcd a nearly horizontal line. The
feat was repeated with the weight
doubled, and as the performer, with
both hands to his hips, and using every
sinew in his frame, swirled round and
round, the audience wondered with
anxiety what would happen if one of
the links should fly asunder. The most
remarkable feat, however, that Sullivan
performed was the lifting of an ele
pliant by his teeth. It was a ' baby,"
'tis true, but it weighed about 1S00
pounds, and was lifted a clear three
inches from the ground, its whole
weight pendent from the jaw of the
man above. Sullivan was not success
ful in an attempt to break a chain with
his arm", having injured this limb on
the previous nicht. He succeeded.
however, in proving that his prowess
was not entirely confined to feats with
his teeth, by lifting a barrel of water,
weighing 560 pounds, with the middle
finder of his right hand. Ia rper's

Pitcher's Castorla.
The following is coins the round nf
the press in reg.ud to the change of
management in the Lehigh Valley
iaiiroad :
"When Asa Packer died he left $rc-
000,000 invested in the Lehigh Valley
Railroad with the recommendation
that it be allowed to remain there for
an indefinite period. As is known,
ftir. l'ackcr left but one child, a daught
er. Some years ago she married Char
ley Cummings, a popular Lehigh Val
ley conductor, but who was poor and
was not favorably received by some of
the relatives. Cummings, believing
himself the representative of the Pack
er estate, sought favor with the active
management and attempted to advance
himself to the presidency of the road.
These advances Acre repelled, how
ever, and the young man felt deeply
the snub he received from President
Wilbur. He told them he would get
even with them, and now he has done
it by turning over to a rival corpora
tion the president, directors, managers.
employes and the entire equipment of
the J.ehigh Valley. Cummings has
had his revenge, and not only that, but
he is to be the right hand man of
President McLeod in tne management
of the great Port Reading road. Mr.
and Mrs. Cummings have been for
several years enjoying their enormous
revenue from the Packer investment in
the Lehigh Valley. They have a sumpt
uously furnished private car and have
traveled over the whole country in the
most elegant style. Being a practical
railroad man, Cummings has, since his
fortunate marriage, been anxious to
become prominent in railroad manage
ment, but until now President Wilbur,
it is said, has been in the way.

to consult Mrs. Halt, the great Spirit

suffered from childhood. She said if
I would have faith in the medicine
she gave me, that she could cure tue.
I took her medicine, and in less than
three months I was cured. Why, the
way the medicine worked was a ruir

the medicine was made of, but she
said she could nut do so. Finally she
told me the medicine was SuliJjur

Hot Playing Fair-
woman is ruled against f.vem when
SHE IS BADLY HURT.
Let a woman be killed in a railroad
accident, and if she has a policy in a
travelers insurance company her h.-irs
may get the same sum tint a man's
heirs may; but let the poor woman be
biaten and broken and tlitf breath of
life almost knocked out of her, as
ong as there is a bit of breath left in
her body, so long she m.iy not receive
a bit of accident insurance moncy,cven
though her policy is against accident
She will read it only to find this clause:
"Except that this ticket insures Fc
male3 against death only." lor
women to be called females with a
capital letter is sufficiently old fashioned
and barbarous, but for the travelers
insurance not to insure them, too,
against accident is not playing fair.
I he theory probably is that women
are not wage earning creatures. ct
the $15 a week or upward that a
man's accident policy brings him is
scarcely as necessary to an insured
male capitalist as to the milliner in
jured in a railroad accident on her
way to buy spring bonnets, or to the
feminine head of a household whom a
like injury forces to hire nurses and
extra service in her horns. It is a
clause far behind the times, and, be
sides, it is not at all good business
management to leave it. Thousands
of women travel in these travclsome
days, and their money is as gjod to
pay for accident policies in one com
pany as in another.
It is not the extremes of heat and
cold so much as the sudden changes
in temperature that cause certain
climates to be unhealthful. When,
however, the system is invigorated
with Ayer's Sarsaparilla, these changes
are rarely attended with injurious re
sults.
The Attention of the Public
Is attracted by any new feature in
news-paper advertising, but it must be
strikingly novel if the advertisement is
read a second time.
The display advertisements of retail
merchants are artfully worded and ap
peal strongly to the economical house
keeper. Flat irons at seven cents and
a Monday bargain sale in ribbons open
the pocket books of the modern Mrs.
1 ooles.
The real estate agent with town lots
for sale in an earthly Paradise, ten
miles from Court House, furnishes
free transportation, a brass band and
a free luncheon for prospective home
seekers
The railway companies do their
share of news-paper proprietors.
Their time tables, showing arrivals and
departures of trains, are paid in cash,
or in tickets which will enable the
editor and his best girl to ride on the
trains.
One railway company will advertise
that it is a "short line to Omaha." A
competing line then positively states
that it is "a shorter line to Omaha
than any other," and now the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway insis's
that it is "the shortest line to Omaha,
and proves it.
The Chicago, Milwaukee & St
Paul Railway Co. also says that it is
the best line to St. Paul and Minnea
pons, with "electric lighted trains
and reading lamps in each berth so
that one can read all night long if he
has a book and don t want to sleep,
It brags about the "finest dining cars
in the world," with the best of meals
served on imported china by the most
expert and civil of colored waiters, at
seventy five cents, while the lines east
of Chicago charge a whole collar.
And once more the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul Railway opens
up a new through car line Irom
Chicago to Denver, via Omaha and
Lincoln, and it isn't long before the
whole world says to itself that "short
est line to Omaha." that "best line to
St. Paul and Minneapolis," and that
"new route to Denver," must be the
only first-class railroad in the western
part of the United Stales, and what
the whole world says must be true.
All Coupon Ticket Agents in the
United States and Canada sell tickets
via the Chicago, Milwaukee & St.
Paul R'y.
