NACOGDOCHES POLITICS.
Nacogdoches, Tex., June 2.—The demo-
cratic executive committee held a meeting
at the court house on Friday in response
to a call made by County Chairman W.
U. Perkins, the leading object being to
agree upon the time and manner of hold-
ing the regular county convention, and the
primaries. It was agreed that the county
convention lie called for July 21 and the
primaries July 14,
The "Dallas harmony resolutions" were
unanimously Indorsed and the primary
election system was recommended, with
printed tickets, to 'be prepared and sent
out by the chairman. The two-thirds rule
Is to be voted upon, a'lso United States
Bfnator, as well as all state and district
officers, -with the object of making the
one convention do for all these purposes.
No specific form of test was agreed upon,
but the sentiment was that none but those
■who will support the nominees should be
allowed to participate in the primaries, and
rules too rigid should be avoided.
There were committeemen present from
every prominent part of the county, and
several prominent citizens were also pres-
ent and took an interest in the proceed-
ings. The fact that the democracy will
have a close battle is admitted by all.
The populists are strong and will make
every effort to capture the Moating vote,
which includes the republicans, who are
nearly all colored. The colored voters say
they will unite upon the party that will
promise to have them serve on juries.

o
LANGSTON ON THE NEGRO.
Memphis, Tenn., June 3.— Jothn M. Lang-
ston, negro, ex-congressman and ex-min-
ister to Hayti, who is in the city on a
lecture tour, expressed himself on tlhe
subject of Ida Wei lis' crusade, now so
prominent in England. Expressing him-
self on the future of the negro Mr. Lang-
soon says:
"I am moat hopeful concerning it. Since
their emancipation the negroes have made
greater progress than any other emanci-
pate! class. There has been less friction,
lens bal results attendant upon tlhe free-
ing of the negro than t'he world has ever
known in connection wit;h the emancipa-
tion of any class o-r race of bondsmen. It
•must always be expected that the great
social change of condition and environment
which is inseparable from a movement of
uhis k'ln.i will result in friction, but in our
case tlKire -has be on but little of it. The
ne^ro received his freedom in poverty and
lhas made great moral and Intellectual
advancement. The sentiment of the white
■pojple, north and south, ha3 been favorable
to the advancement of the negro race.
Many njen have given their fortunes, some
have devotdd ttho-ir 'lives to this object.
Our progress has not been rapid, 'but it
has been sure and steady, and we are now
better off than any class of freedmen of
'Whom history makes mention—t'hat is, of
course, talcing into consideration the short
time we have been free."
On the question of Ida Wells' utterances,
he said: "ft is no doubt true that in times
past wrongs have been perpetrated' upon
the negro, but they have almost become a
thing of the past, and such as still ap-
pear occasionally are being righted every
day. 1 have never been in England, but
have seen those under English domination,
and I have no hesitation in saying that as
between such and those who live in the
United States no comparison can be drawn.
There is no class of negroes in the world
who can compare in any respect with
those of the United States. I have seen
the negro in Jamaica, in the Barbadoes
and elsewhere. They show few signs of
progress or advancement, socially, Intel-
lectually, morally or otherwise, as com-
pared with the American negro."
Mr. Langston expressed himself freely as
having no sympathy with Ida Wells' Eng-
lish agitation, intimating that her efforts
to arouse the sympathy of the English
people for the colored population of the
south had less of patriotism in it than a
desire for notoriety and revenue.
o
HOW COXEYIT'ES WERE TAKEN.
Elias, Kan., June 3.—The eastward pro-
gress of a band of Coxeyites came to an
unexpected end here to-day, and instead of
being sent on to Kansas City they were
hustled back to Denver under a guard of
United States deputy marshals.
On Saturday about seventy-five "weal-
ers," under Captain Rolston, came in from
Denver over the Union Pacific road.
Superintendent Brinkerhoff, after com-
municating with Attorney Williams of
Topeka decided that the men must not be
hauled out of this station.
United States Marshal Neeley, who had
b:<en no/Jfled, arrived in Ellis in a special
train this morning wJt.h fifty deputies. A
train was made up here to-day and the
"common we a.'.,, rs" allowed to meet the mar-
shal's train six miles from 'here. On reach-
ing Jhie coach Marshal Nee-ley took a few
men, an«d going to where they were seated
on top of the 'box cars commanded them
to go down. "Ca'pta n" Rolston asked
if they were prisoners. Marshal Neeley
replied that they were United States pr.\s-
onera, and the men at once complied. The
rank and file were ordered to climb into
two box cars, an 1 they were started for
Denver, where they will probably be re-
leasedv. The "captain" and two "lieuten-
ants" were not allowed to go west, but
were 'taken to Leavenworth to-night and
will toe held for trial.

by the sudden uncoupling of the train while

air brakes and throwing him from the en-
Klne pilot, where he was seated, breaking

agonies, 'but made a feeble gesture for
Daniel to stop. The younger son continued
i ■> talk until Michael tried to lead him from

.Michael subdued his powerful brother. He
pinned him to thfj floor. A neighbor hur-
ried for a policeman, and as Daniel was

FLOODS.
THE DELUGE AT PORTLAND.
Portland, Ore., June 3.—This has been a
lnny day in Portland. All day long mer-
chants in t'he flooded districts have been
at work moving their goods. The river
continues to expand and every hour the
situation beoomes more perilous.
The weather thas become cooler here, but
no reports have "been had .from eastern
Oregon, the source of a'1-1 the floods. Tele-
graph wires north and east are down and
it is impossible to obtain any news of the
situation along the Columbia river. The
river here is thirty-one tfeet above low
water and every twenty-four hours adds
to It.
Three-fourths of the wholesale district is
under water from two to ten feet, and the
water fast encroaching upon the best
part of the retail district. Hundreds of
small 'houses on the flats are surrounded
by water. A further raise of a foot will
take them out. The merchants are unable
to get lumber with which to build plat-
forms to keen their goods above water.
Every a vail able boat in the city has been
h.red, -and boatmen receive from $10 to $15
per hour for their services. The Western
I'n-ion telegraph company's office is sur-
rounded by water.
On the west of the river the water ex-
tends almost to Washington street on Sixth
street, within one block of the Oregon
building. On Sixth and Alder streets, this
evening, the water reached the first floor
of Lipman & Wolfe's, the largest dry goods
store in the city.
On the east side many of the elevated
railways leading to the river are sub-
merged, and the Madison street bridge at
the south end of the the city is the only
bridge open to traffic.
A rise of six inches more will shut off
the gas supply of the city.
The union depot is two feet under water
and the Union Pacific shops in Albina are
surrounded by water. The Southern Pacific
is the only railroad running trains into
Portland, and they are compelled to stop
at the south end of the city, being unable
to reach either depot.
MIXES FLOODED.
Denver, Col., June 3.—J. E. Murden, con-
tracting freight agent of the Union Pacific,
is in the city, having walked all the dis-
tance from Centre City to Molton. Mr.
Murden said: "No one can conceive of the
destruction in that part of the country.
Every mine in Central City and vicinity
is flooded, and not a vestige of placer mine
is left in Crear Creek. Between Central
City and Forks creek there are twervty-
eight washouts, ranging from ten to fiftv
fe^t in width. Between Idaho Springs and
Golden there are thirty-eight washouts. The
mining men in Central City estimate the
.OSS to the county at $600,000. It Is not
known when the Gulf will commence run-
ning trains to Central City and George-
town again, but it will be a week or ten
days."
ARKANSAS RIVER UP.
Lamar, Col., June 3.—Last night fifty feet
of the south end of the bridge across the
Arkansas river gave way before the flood
and an hour later twenty-five feet on the
north end was swept away. The river cov-
ered all the bottoms and was a mile wide
ait t'he bridge.
The Santa Fe tracks east and we3t were
submerged and at Prowers, seven miles
west, several hundred feet of track is
washed out. All the Irrigation canals are
filled up by the overflow and some of them
have been broken in many places. A number
of farms along the river have been greatly
damaged by the flood, which washed out
all the crops. Four westbound passenger
trains are held at the depot waiting for
the track to be made passable. The river
is slowly falling and It is believed that the
worst is over. It is impossible to at pres-
ent estimate the damage done. The water
reached a higher point during the present
flood than ever before known.

A HARD TRIP.
Sweet Home, Lavaca Co., Tex., June 2.—
From the Golden Gate, San Francisco, to
the Battery, New York city, Is a long dis-
tance—1000 miles. A reporfer for the Chroni-
cle of the first named city, C. N. Gilman
by name, began ihls long, lonely tramp
lust nine weeks and two days ago, and
reached this point yesterday forenoon at
11.40, having walked a distance of 2604 miles,
an average of forty miles daily. A wager
of $10,000, put up by the Chronicle and
Golden Gate athletic club, as principals, Is
at stake that he cannot reach the Battery,
New York city, in twenty weeks from the
time of starting. Gilman Is famous In San
Francisco as a sprinter, and the reputation
se»ms to be sustained in this long distance
tramp. He was five days ahead of time
here, notwithstanding the fact that an
ankle was seriously sprained on the other
side of San Antonio. Among the terms of
the wager are: One meal only dally, shall
sleep outdoors without blankets and Is to
conline wa.'klng between the rails; Is not
allowed to receive nor spend a cent during
the journey, but to depend wholly upon the
generous nature of people along the route.
Among exciting incidents of the trip, he
has had three suits of clothing torn from
his body In conflicts with wild animals, and
was bitten numbers of times by rattlers,
the poison of which was counteracted by
an antidote furnished him by a San Fran-
cisco physician. His aim now Is to reach
New York about July 16, something near
three weeks ahead of time.

TRAFFICUNDER PROTECTION
Arrests Made—The Lawless Element Aban-
doned Resistance, but Threatens to Stop
Cars After Troops Are Removed.
Washington, Ind„ June 3.—The state
troops marched Into Clarke station this
morning five hundred strong, with a gatllng
gun to llnd that only about lifty miners had
stayed to face the music. The military was
drawn up In line along the edge of the
woods and Sheriff Lemln.; then read the
warrant against the miners accused of the
riotous conspiracy and placed three oif the
leaders-^SquIre Summers, Dick Gates and
John Flynn—under arrest, bilnglng them to
this city this afternoon and placing them
in jail. As soon as the troops were in line
the railroad men at once repalre.l the track
and the loaded cars were taken on west.
Ten thousand miners who were reported
en route to Clarke station ii-d not material-
ize this morning, neither had they collected
at any point along the Baltimore and Ohio
Southwestern, The certainty that tine oni-
cers intended to enjfonce the law seemed to
quell the rabeulioui feeling among the men.
THe miners say that as *oon as the troops
are withdrawn they will again stop al.
coal cars, but anticif1*ting this, two com-
panies will be stationed at the tracks unti.
fear o.f trouble Is pasit. Every man In the
city Is now quiet and there Is a general',
feeling of relief among all classes. Trains
loaded with coal have been passing through
tlhe city all afternoon.
OLD LADY WITH A PISTOL.
Sullivan, Ind„ June 3.—The state militia
arrived in Sullivan at an early hour this
morning, being from the southern part of
the state. The companies were from Jef-
ferson, New Albany, Princeton, Evansville,
Washington and Vlncennes, all njmbering
300. They stopped over here and waited
until the trainmen could get an engine to
take the coal out of Sheliburn, then as
soon as the trainmen came they boarded
the special train bound for the Sheliburn
district. Sheriff Mills, in command, stopped
the train south of the depot, got his sol-
diers, all ready, then made a march and
surrounded the train. They came in
through the crowds of miners and citizens
who were there, then surrounded the coal
train.
No demonstrations were made by the few
miners who were present. One old lady
with a pistol under her apron marched out
ready for action with the militia, and was
caught and scuffled with by Sheriff
Mills until he secured the gun. She was
willing to do what she was asked to do
after she had lost her gun. This being
the only thing out of the way done by
any one, and as soon as the trainmen could
get the train in shape, which took them
nearly an hour, the track was again clear-
ed and the coal train started out with the
coal.
The miners had each car branded "Scab
coal." The miners made threats that this
did not mean mu-ch to them and that the
E. and T. H. should not ship coal unless
they kept a standing army at Sheliburn
all the time, and claiming that no more
coal should pass through there until this
was settled. They coukl go to work and
keep their families from starving.
As soon as the miners on guard heard of
the militia at Sullivan, they begun firing
an anvil to let the outside miners know
what was coming, but they did not get
their expected hope. Several hundred peo-
ple gathered to see the battle betwen the
miners and the militia.
After the militia had finished their work
they came back to Sullivan and went Into
camp at the fair grounds, with only one
man in the hospital. He accidentally
dropped his revolver, and striking the
handle against something, It went off,
shooting him In the foot.
Sheriff Mills left Sheliburn, going on to
Alum eave and demanding the coal tht
miners had sidetracked. Tliey gave It up
without much difficulty. The militia are
here awaiting for orders from the sheriff,

and forage for supplies, have been massed
about the fortification and their number
is slightly over 1800. To-day the strikers
made their last forage for arms, ammuni-

have filled hundreds of beer kegs with
water and stored tihem in .the fort.
The towns of Victor, Anaconda, Mound
City and othefr p!aces are in the possession

The plans of the strikers are to meet
the deputies and make as strong a stand
as possible, and if necessary retreat to
Bull hill, where a desperate stand will be
made.
The deputies will be commanded dn the

WITHOUT BLOODSHED.
Sullivan, Ind., June 3.—This morning at
an early hour three companies of state
mllttla were brought here. They numbered
about 250 men. They remained until an
engine and caboose came tip from Evans-
ville, and following the regular train for
the north, the special with the troops went
to Sheliburn. A short distance south of
the station the special stopped, when the
soldiers got off and formed a phalanx with
fixed bayonets, marched up and surroumded
the coal cars. The engine backed in and
the cars were coupled together and the
train moved out without protest on the
part of about 150 miners. About a mile
north of Sheliburn there is a steeo grade
and it Is said the rails were soaped, caus-
ing a delay of one hour.
A portion of the militia force .was left
at Sheliburn, while the main body went on
to Farmersburg, and it was understood
that part of the force would go out on
the branch road to Alum Cave and take
out some loaded ears there which have
been held by the strikers, when they will
return to this p.ace and go into camp for
the night. It Is a great relief to the com-
munity that this difficulty has been over-
come without bloodshed.

Ka
BEET SUGAR IN SWEDEN.
Chino Champion.
The consular report of the United States
minister to Sweden shows that the beet
sugar Industry Is growing rapidly In the
Scandinavian peninsula. In 1892 there were
eight sugar factories in Sweden, with a
production of 30,781 tons of raw sugar, and
it Is estimated that at the present rate of
Increase the production In 1896 will amount
to 78,000 tons. Minister Thomas says:
"It is true that the Swedish sugar beets
are all raised In the southern portion of the
country, and nearly ail in a comparatively
small section of the extreme southwest. It
is also true that the gulf stream, convey-
ing the waters of the tropics to the north-
west of Europe, gives to the Scandinavian
peninsula a climate milder than enjoyed by
any other northern land. Still, after all
allowances have been made, Sweden re-
mains un extreme northern country, with
long winters and in genera! a hard soil.
That in such a country the production of
sugar should have been advanced with such
rapid strides and reached such grand pro-
portions constitutes one of the marvels of
agriculture on our globe, and might well
serve as an example and an incentive to
the people of the United States, who live
in a more fertile land and under milder
skies."
A SUSPICIOUS PRISONER.
New York, June 3.—The police think they
have In custody the man who, on the night
of Decoration day, strangled Minnie Weldt.
The name of the prisoner is Paul Jacob!,
a married man. He was arraigned in York-
ville police court to-day and held for fur-
ther examination. The police say they have
evidence to prove that Jacobi was the
fleshy man who was seen by several persons
coming from the house on the night of the
murder.
A girl named Gretchen Hirsch is held as
a witness against him. Jacobi was in this
girl's company in. the early evening of the
night of the murder, and she says Jacob!
stole $20 from" her then.
Jacob! was in an East Eighty-fifth street
salcon on Memorial day and was drinking
heavily. He told the hangers-on there that
his wife had just given birth to a daughter
and he was celebrating the event. In the
saloon he displayed a lot of money. He
had his mustache shaved off the night of
the murder, and explained this by saying
it had been singed on one side by a lamp,
and he had to cut It off.
The woman, Ko-helnt, the companion of
the dead woman, is still in custody.
FRENCH SCHOONER BURNED.
Philadelphia, Pa., June 3.—Captain Selgle
of the steamship Donau, which arrived to-
day, reports that on Api.l 16 the Donau,
while on the outward passage from Phila-
delphia, sighted a sailing vessel with
smoke Issuing from the main hatch and
her distress flags in flames. The burning
vessel proved to be the French schooner
Jacmel, Granville, France, for St. Pierre,
Mlquelon island with eight passengers and
a crew of twenty-six men. A .boat was low-
ered from the Donau and manned by the
chief officer, Carpenter, and three men.
The .Tsucmel was discovered by the rescu-
ing crew to be not only on fire but leaking
badly, hec pumips being insufficient to keep
her free. * 'Haavy weather had opened her
seams and partially waterlogged the frail
craft.
Despite the water in the hold, the fire
was gaining, as the crew was helpless to
stay It. The fire had been discovered three
nights before, and the men were exhausted
through their efforts to save the craft.
One man,, Wilban Patenburg, the second
mate, had succumbed to asphyxia. The
Jacmel went down in latitude 44,03, longi-
tude 41.27.

' N.ULED TO THE CROSS.
Strange Story of a Man Who Suffered
Crucifixion.
Salt Lake Letter to Cincinnati Enquirer.
The body of a man who had been cru-
cified, and who had survived the ordeal
and lived for years afterward, left Tit-
coma, Wash., the other day for inter-
ment In this city. The remains were
those of Dr. Wm. Bredemeyer, who years
ago was crucified by an uncivilized tribe
In Burmah, India. The burial at Salt
Lake City was by the side of his first
wife, Annie May Savery-Mearyone-Ev-
ans. His second wife, burn Miss Pene-
lope MeVlekar, accompanied the body,
which was escorted to the train by mem-
bers of sixteen fraternities, Including 120
women, who were members of Rebecca
lodges, and the Pocahontas of the Oi;der
of Red Men and the Pythian Sisters.
Dr. Bredemeyer was a great fraternity
man. He was a member of nearly every
secret order in existence, and had he
lived a week longer he would have per-
fected the organization In Tacoma of the
Heptasophs. But paralysis carried him
off, and with his right hand peacefully
over his breast as he lay In his coflln,
the jagged scar left by those who cru-
cified him could plainly be seen. Hun-
dreds saw the scar and thought it a
dreadful sight.
The right hand scar was not as long
as the left hand one by an inch. Both
were between the bones of the thumb
and forefinger, in the thickest part of
the palm. The left-hand scar was two
and a half inches long, and on both sides
of the hands the scars stood out like
miniature mountain ranges, compared
with the size of the hands. The serrated
top ridges of the ugly marks were white
like snow-capped peaks.
When Bredemeyer was crucified there
was no antiseptic surgery to kill the pu-
trefying microbes In the air while the
wounds were being treated, and thus
avoid irritation and Unsightly scars. For
twenty-four hours after he was crucified
he received no treatment of uny kind.
When his wounds were dressed he was
unconscious, and for several days it was
thought he would die.
Bredemeyer was a quiet, uncommuni-
cative Prussian. Members of his family
and his close friends knew of his cruci-
fixion, but Tacoma people were in ab-
solute ignorance of the facts until Bred-
eme.ver's record of his own life was
found among his papers after his death.
He was graduated from the university
of Bonn, and had previously qualified
as a member of the Prussian pioneer en-
gineer corps. That was in 1862. The
next year he entered the Dutch-India
service as a mining engineer and expert,
and advanced step by step in his chosen
profession until in 1868, when the king
of Upper Burmah made him chief en-
gineer of the famous ruby mines in the
northern part of that country.
Bredemeyer had headquarters at
Medea, In the ruby mine district, where
big sapphires are also found. The mines
are jealously guarded, and all the pre-
cious stones belong to the king. From
the ruby and sapphire harvest the king
realizes from $00,000 to $75,000 a year.
North of Medea in the lofty mountains
there were some ruby mines which the
king had not had prospected by such an
eminent expert as Bredemeyer. In fact,
no white man had ever ventured into
the mountains of the north, where dwelt
the half-civilized Singpho3, who, while
recognizing the authority of the king,
were unruly and barbaric.
Bredemeyer's advent was the signal
for great excitement among the Sing-
phos. They had never seen a white man,
and notwithstanding Bredemeyer an-
nounced his mission under authority of
the king, the Singphos were not satis-
fied. Their cupidity got the better of
their loyalty; they thought more of their
rubles and sapphires than they did of
the king's mandates. They decided to
crucify the white man If he did not flee
from the country.
A handful of soldiers were with Brede-
meyer. In all the country, which then
had 3,500.000 Inhabitants, the king had
but 19,000 soldiers. The Singphos were
not afraid of them. Bredemeyer refused
to leave the country until he had car-
ried out the orders of the king. The
Singphos declared war. The soldiers
went into ambush, only to treacherously
surrender the mining experts when the
natives swooped down upon them.
While the soldiers were scurrying
about for reinforcements, the natives
nailed Bredemeyer to a cross made of
two pieces of the native oil wood. Crude
pieces of iron with sharp edges and
slightly sharp at the end were brought,
and using stones for sledges the natives
drove the irons through Bredemeyer's
hands and feet.
The barbarians were beside themselves
with fiendish fury. In their haste they
horribly mutilated the engineer's fingers
and toes. Before the brutal work of
nailing Bredemeyer to the cross was
finished he became partially unconscious.
The shock was almost fatal. The last
thing he remembered was the swarming
Singphos, with their flat faces, broad
skulls, straight black hair and deep
brown skins, grinning like demons, ut-
tering wild shouts and dancing and ges-
ticulating at the foot of the cross. Some
of them were entirely naked, having
stripped off their apparel in the hyster-
ical excitement of the capture and cru-
cifixion of the hated victim.
As a rule the natives wear linen
wrapped about their hips. These cloths
are called lngies, and, as Bredemeyer
lapsed into unconsciousness, he remem-
bered that the ingles of the masters of
the barbaric ceremony were besmeared
with his own blood.
When Bredemeyer had been nailed to
the cross the natives prepared to raise
It and fasten it into the ground. At that
instant the soldiers happily returned
with reinforcements and routed the na-
tives. Bredemeyer was carried back to
Medea.
The crucifixion occurred on July 16,
1869, at noon. At noon the next day his
wounds were dressed. The rainy season
had set in, and it .was very warm, and
under these unfavorable conditions it
was feared gangrene would set in. The
sufferer was cared for 'tenderly, under
directions from the king, and being ac-
customed to undergo great hardships, he
speedily recovered, but never again ven-
tured into the land of the Singphos.
Fourteen months later, immediately
after he married Miss Evans at Naga-
saki, he was engaged by the Japanese
government as a mining expert, but a
couple of years later on account of the
ill health of his wife he removed to Cal-
ifornia. From there he worked up into
Utah, prospeating in the mines, locating
undeveloped properties which it is esti-
mated will make a millionaire of his
8-year-old son, who was born to him by
his second wife. From Utah Bredemeyer
went to British Columbia, and thence
back to AVashington three years ago,
where he conducted an assayer's office.
When his body was removed to the
morgue attention was called to the
frightful scars on his hands and feet.
Three fingers on his left hand were
gone, and his right foot showed signs
of mutilation, while the left foot looked
as if it had been frozen until the toes
had dropped off. The fingers and the
toes of the right foot had been lopped
off by his crucifiers. The toes of the left
foot were frozen oft on a prospecting
trip in Utah.
The day of his funeral his casket was
literally covered with society badges,
the gold bullion in which was valued
at $500. He organized the Foresters and
i the Red Mea on the Pacific coast, aa<i
was honored with the highest offices
conferred by several of the secret orders
of the Pacific northwest,
A MYSTERIOUS PICTURE.
Gainesville [Oa.) Magic .
We have In our possession a photograph
of one of the strangest und most remarka-
ble accidents that ever came to our knowl-
edge. It lies on the desk its v,-e write, and
was handed to us by Mr. M. E. Allen a
photographer by occupation, who told us
the Interesting little story connected -with
it. 1 he photo represents a saucer, 111 the
center of which is a distinct likeness of a
human face. It is the bust of a man with
curly ha.r and dark beard, and several to
whom it has been exhibited at once recog-
nized a res.'inblanco between the engravings
usually seen of Christ, it seems that some
lime since a Mrs. Tlmmertuan of Piedmont,
S. C., where young Mr. Allen has been in the
photograph business, suffered the loss of a
tavorlte daughter. The bereavement left
the mother broken hearted. She is a Chris-
tian woman, and she prayed that God would
give her some token by which she might be
comforted. One day while cleaning the din-
ner table, in gathering up the dishes pre-
paratory to cleansing them, the settlings
ot a cup of coffee ran Into a saucer which
had not been used. In taking up the saucer
to wipe away the settlings she saw to her
intense astonishment that the coffee
grounds had a perfect profile of a human
bust, and what was yet more wonderful,
that 'head and face formed the ideal likeness
of Jesus Christ. She recognized It as such
'instantly, and accepted the strange coinci-
dence as an answer to her prayer. The
grounds dried on the saucer arid yet re-
tained the Shape they first assumed. The
dish has been photographed by our inform-
ant, and any one so desiring may see .it at
our office. Mr. Allen assures us that no
human hand has touched the remarkable
production, and that Mrs. Timmermaii is a
reliable and truthful lady. To say the least
of the occurrence it is a remarkable cir-
cumstance.
A frog can not breathe with its mouth
open. Its breathing- apparatus is so ar-
ranged that when its mouth is open its
nostrils are closed.
