A Fecultar IJeath.
Weatberly has a sensation that Is caus
lug any amount of gossip. Tbe facts are
as follows: Charles B. Shatter, a native ol
Monroe county, aged sixty-eight years,
this year took Mrs. Abigail Doney, a
widow, as LI third wife. Tbe honey
moon was short, and they have since, it It
said, lived a cat and dog life. On Christ
mas Day Shafer visited one of his married
daughters, and on the way home was bail
ed by a friend and given a drink of whisk;
from a pint bottle. Shafer ate a beam
dinner al his home, and was soon aftei
taken with a spell of vomiting. He throw
himself on the floor and lay there all the af
ternoon In stupor. In tho evening bit
wife say she failed to arouse him, and
supposing blm to be drunk, left blra lying
on the floor and went to an entertainment.
She futher says that when she returned be
was still on tbe floor that sbesentfora
doctor, and be was pronounced dead. Tin
doctor also said that life has been extinct
for some time. Shaefer's death being re
garded a suspicious, Coroner Buck wat
called and a post-mortem held. No ver
dict will be reached until a chemist who
is making an analysis of the deceased'
stomach has filed his report. The drink ol
whisky from the pint bottle Is tbe only ont
known to have been taken by Shafer that
day.

The Oensns tn Germany.
Americans who grumble at thu soarch-.
tag nature of the census taker's ques
tions, should look at the Inquisition to
which the Germans ore subjected. The
German year book gives the figures ot
even tho income tax. An lnoomo of two
hundred and fifty dollars or less Is not
taxed, and up to seven hundred and fifty
dollars the tax Is nominal. For Incomes
over seven hundred and fifty dollars the
owner must swear as to the truth of the
figures he gives. In Berlin thoro la no
personal liberty. The police methods
greatly old Id the preparation ot an ac
curate census. No room can bo rontod
at a hotol or boarding house, and no
apartment or house can be legally
leased, until the landlord has sent to the
police the name and purposo ot tho now-
oomer and tho length of time for which
ho will probably make the olty his home.
The same method is In vogue in other
German cities. The experience ot one
ot the professors of the University of
Pennsylvania recently Is significant as to
the effectiveness of those methods.
Wishing to communicate with an Ameri
can lady who was abroad, and, as he
thought, In Lolpslc, he wrote to tho
polloo of that city. The answer declared
that no person ot the name was In tho
city. A similar letter was sent to tho
polloo headquarters ot Dresden, and a
similar answor was reoelved. When,
later, however, tho professor wrote -to
tho police of Berlin, tho roply announced
the lady's exact address.
Remarkable Operations Saeeeeeftdly Per
formed by a Hindoo Doctor.
In an out of the way corner of India, in
Knttywar, a Hindoo doctor, Trlbhow
undas Shah, L. M has during the last
six years been carrying on a sueoesslon
ot operations lu rhinoplasty, or the re
newing of noses, suoh as probably no
other modicnl prootltldnor In the world
has over hod the opportunity of attempt-ins.
The Stale of Junagatdh, whoro those I liM n ery precauslou condition
interesting operations havo been per
formed, Is notorious for tho outtlng oft
ot noses, tho praotloo bolng adopted both
by jealous husbands as punishment
for their wives, and by ooveral tribes,
ot whom tho Mekranls uro tho worst, as
a mark ot vengeanoo on tholr onomlos.
Dr. Trlbhowundas has for some yoars
been in charge ot the Central Hospital
atJunagadh, where ho has carried on
tho dutlos of medical offlcor, as well as
surgeon general for tho State, with much
ability; nnd In a book rooently published
be gives the result ot 100 operations in
rhinoplasty which he has suooosafully
performed.
In outtlng off the nose, a razor, a knife,
a sickle, or a sword is used, and accord
ing to the sharpness of tho Instrument
tho cut Is a oloan or a ragged ono. Tho
operation ot rhinoplasty varies accord
ing to the wound, and its succoss do
ponds very much on tho quality ot tho
original nose that is to say, whether it
was mostly bone or oartilage. A" soft
nose is tho most easily roplacod. Dr.
Trlbhowundas performs his operations
by removing a Dap ot skin from the fore
head or cheek of the patlont and uniting
this with tho help ot sutures to the re
maining portion ot tho mutllatod noso
Until the junction is complete.
The patients aro put under treatment
from one to three weeks, and In most
Instances all traces of dlsflguremont ap.
pear to have boen romovod.

The fifth annual report of the Cotnmls-

report is the result of an Investigation

urately as possible,, tbe relation of rail
vay employes ;and tbe corporations under
which they work,, tbe wages paid lit all
branches of the service and in (different !
jar I s of the country, and the time lost as i
veil as other matters of vital Introst to
railway employes.
Tbe report tdiows that tbe number of
railway corporations In the United States

the country at this dle was 030, 012, the -

ither employes, D22.430. Nearly six hun
Ired of these reads are under twenty utiles

lelng fourteen one-hundredths of a mile
long.
Three hundred and seventy seven com
panies prohibit tbe use of intoxicating
liquors on tba roads under their control;
25 loads Insist on employes living in
kocses tarnished by the company; 140

Even the complexion Is dominated by
fashion, and blonde and brunette have
In turn their little day. In 'Queen Eliza
beth's time blondes were specially In
faVor. Froquent mention in the lltern-
turo of the past Is mado ot oils and
essences for improving the appearanoo.
A receipt of that century is as follows :
" To render the .faoe a beautiful color
bathe in wine, after which wash tho faco
In warm milk, thon you will bo both
falre and ruddy." A piece of proverbial
lore is : " The fair maid who washes In
dew from the nawtnorn tree, win over
after handsome be." But tho attempt to
cheat Time of his wrinkles has generally
provon vain. Turning to the color of
tho complexion, Shakespeare only men
tions block hair twice throughout his
hploys. Indeed, to "As You Like It " tho
piopherdoss complains of being scorned
on account of her dark hair. Thackeray,
ilowovor, makes all his dark heroines

Klch Strikes In Minor
Some ot the most astonishing results
have) oomo from soma ot those prospeots.
E-8nator Tabor (he of the " silk night,
irown" notoriety) "grub staked" two
shoemakers with $14, from which his
start In fortune was made. The shoe-
makers crew tired ot climbing tbe moun
tains, and began blindly to dig at one oi
their resting places. The result was
the dlsoovery of tho Little Pittsburg
mine at the depth of eighteen feet, Ono
shoemaker cold out for $75,000 and his
companion for $800,000. Tabor held on
and pocketed $3,000,000 as his share of the
deal. " Tabor tell up against fortune
andoouldn't heta It," said one ot his
friends. "Take the Chicken Bill prop.
erty, tor example. Hill stole ore from
the Little Pittsburg and threw It Into
his shaft until bo thought he had enough
on hand to catch a suoker- He pnr
suaded Tabor to visit the hole, but the
old rope looked so rotten that the visit
or didn't dare trust his weight in tbe
buoket Well, Bill," said Tabor, " I'll
give you $15,000 for your property and
trust to luck to get something out ot it."
The offer was snapped up, and Tabor
ordered new hoisting apparatus to be
placed In position and work to be oom
meneed. Chicken Dili's trlok was soon
discovered, but Tabor said t " Go on
down, boys, and make a mine out of it
anyhow." At the depth of twenty-eight
feet further down the vein was struck
and the Chrysolite mine was opened.
One chunk of pure gold sold for $880,
and several millions soon rolled to a
golden stream In Mr. Tabor's pookeU.
