A eurloua coincidence happened In one of
th paru of the eupreme court the other
day while Jury was being Impaneled to
try a casa The clerk gave the wheel tn
which the name of the jurors had been
placed a whirl and then pulled out a card.
"John Smith," he called out, and im
mediately two men started toward the jury
box.
Thin caused no astonishment, becanae
with the innumerable John Smiths in the
directory it was not muoh wonder that two
of them had been summoned for the same
jury. The card had the address of the
John Smith intended, so tbta littre diffi
culty was straiuhtened out easily enough.
Then the clerk cauea out, "ueorge
Rogers. "
This time no less than four men respond
ed to the name. When the right George
Roger had been selected from the quartet
the clerk reached in once more and pulled
out another card. This time there were
actually six men who responded to the
name John Brown.
After the John Brown identified by his
address on the card had been selected, the
work of completing the jury proceeded for
a few minutes until eleven men had been
secured. Then the clerk pulled out one
more slip to complete the jury.
"Jacob levy," the clerk called.
It seemed as if every man tn the court
room arose in response to this name. The
clerk counted them and there was just an
even dozen Jacob Levy's who bad been
summoned to serve on that jury. The
right one was picked out and took his place
in the box, his honor re-narking that all
the labor of securing the jury one at a
time might have been avoided if the clerk
had only chanced to pick out Mr. Levy's
name first New York Tribune.
Baby's Metropolitan Journey.
The baby came from down south and has
only been in town a few weeks, but she has
made the most of her time. She has a
black mammy, a mamma and some friends,
but she is herself 2 years old and has ad
ventures of her own. The other day she
went out to the florist's with her mamma.
"Look after baby," said the mamma; "I
must ran back for a letter."
But the baby toddled along at the moth
er's skirts, so the friend returned to her
flowers. Then she went to meet the mam
ma returning with the letter.
"Where is baby?"
"She went with yon."
"No: she did not."
The conversation was not prolonged.
The baby was nowhere to be seen. The po
lice station seemed the likeliest place, and
the distracted women rushed there, but
without success. They sent telegrams to
knowing people for aid, and scouted the
neighborhood, with horse cars running by,
butcher, baker and grocers' carta dashing
by and curdling the blood in their veins.
The black mammy, ignorant of the town
and its ways, went down Tenth avenue in
quiring if anybody had seen her baby.
Baby was standing on the corner of Forty
second Btreet and Tenth avenue talking
cheerfully to the most typical little tough
in the neighborhood. The black mammy
fell upon her with tears and kisses. Baby
was annoyed at the interruption. "Wat
you come for me for?" she aked. Baby
had made the jouitiey from Fifty-seventh
street to Forty-second, crossing Tenth av

cherub that sits up aloft, whose business
it is to look after the steps of the innocent

When it first stared me in the face I was

in the man who thinks he completely fills

Only once have I met with hindrance,
and that was in the person of an eagle

him, but he would not stay so. He har
ried after me and refused to be ignored.

told him I was not an ordinary visitor, and

ing the prospect of life at various ages. It
is the result of several years of careful cal

About Buying CI Kara.
If, by chance, I happen to go into a
strange cigar shop and the man at the
case asks me if I want an imported cigai
I make up my mind that he doesn't know
his business or that he takes me for a
fool. A man is supposed to know what
sort of a cigar he wants and ought to say
so at the start. An imported cigar, at
the average cigar stand, at the common
price, is a delusion and a snare. If I go
into a place where 1 am not Known ana
buy a cigar I am always particular to
notice the box. If the cigar aoes not nt
the box I know the seller has practiced
some deception. He has put a different
ciear in the box than the one called for
by the brand. If he is mean enough to
do this he is mean enougn to paim on a
poor cigar. I am not a cynio in any
thing; but I have noticed one thing in
my travels it is easier for a man to be
swindled on cigars than anything that
grows, runs or stands still. If the cigar

' It would oe difficult to measure tin
intvreat and comment, not to say excite
ment, which the published letter of Dr.
K. A. Ouun, which appeared in the
uarera vesteixlav, had occasioned. Tin
prominence of the doctor and the unusual
nature of the letter have both tended to
add Interest to the subject and make ii
really the talk ol the town.
I called upon Dr. Uunn at his resi
dence, No. 124 West Forty-ecventh street,
yesterday afternoon. I found tho recep
tion room crowded, and it was only after
an hour's waiting that I succeeded in
obtaining an interview.
Dr. Gunu is a distinguished looking
man. and impressed me at once by his
manly bearing and air ol sincerity. J
took the set.t he courteously offered nit
and said;
"Are you aware, doctor, of the commo
tion your letter has caused?"
Dr. Uunn smiled, and replied : "Things
out of the ordinary usually cause com
ment. It not a common thing for
physicians to indorse and cordially rec
ommend medicines other than those in
the Materia Mtdica. History is full of
instances of scientists who have indorsed
discoveries they believe to be valuable,
and have been denounced for so doing,
and yet these same discoveries are bless
ing the world to-day. I hope T have tho
manhood and courage to be true to my
convictions, and that is why I so openly
nd unhesitatingly indorse Warner's
Safe Cure as being the greate.it of modern
discoveries for the cure of diseases which
have bullied the highest skill of themed
leal profession."
SJ was impressed with the earnestness
of the doctor, and saw that he meant
every word that he said.
"How long have you known of this
remedy, doctor?" I asked.
"Nearly ten years," he replied, "My
attention was originally called to the
Safe Cure by a sonons case of Bright'"
disease, wliien was considered hopeless,
and yet, much to my surprise, under its
use the patient recovered. I have tried
it in other cases since then constantly.
and my original faith iu its power has
been continued, l nave seen patients
recover from inflammation of the blad
der, gravel and Brieht's disease when all
other treatment had failed, and I have
found it especially efficient in all itmiale
troubles."
"Can you specify sny particular cases,
doctor?" I asked.
"That is a delicate thing to do," tho
doctor replied ; "but, as I always keep
written record of my cases, I cau accom
modate you.
Thereupon the doctor opened his desk
and produced his record book. Turning
over the leaves he said:
"Here is a case of a gentleman who
was a great sufferer from inflammation
of the bladder of long standing. He had
consulted a number of physicians witno'it
benefit. When first consulted I myself
tried tne usual methods ol treatment,
but without success, and I finally advised
him to try Warner's Safe Cure. He felt
better from the start, and in a few weeks
was entirely cured."
The doctor turned a few pages further,
and then said :
"Here is another case. It is that of a
gentleman who had frequent attacks of
renal calculi, which, a you know, is
Travel formins in the kidneys. He had
never been able to prevent these forma'
tions, but aiter an umiBually severe at
tack I recommended him to try the Safe
Cure, which he did, and, although it Is
three years since he took the remedy, he
has never had an attack since."
The doctor continued to turn the leaves
of his book, aud suddenly exclaimed
"Here is a most remarkable case. It
is that of a lady who hod suffered for
some time from Bright's disease. She
became enceinte, and about the fourth
month suddenly became blind, had con
vulsions aud finally fell into a state of
coma, caused by uremic or kidney poison.
Several phvsiuians who saw her said she
could not live, ana in tins view i tuny
concurred. As she could still swallow I
said, as a last resort, that they might
try Warner's Safe Cure. They did so,
and to the surprise of every one she re
covered. She has since givun birth to s
living child, and is perfectly well."
"Those are certainly most wonderful
cases, doctor," I said, "and while I do
not for a moment question their authen
ticity I should consider it a great favor
If you would give me their names. I
UiinK tne importance oi me sunject
would fully justify it."
"In the interest of other sufferers I
think you are correct," Dr. Gunn finally
observed, after a moment's thought.
"Both the lady and her husband are so
rejoiced, so greatful, ovei her recovery
that I know she is only too glad to have
others hear it. The lady is Mrs. Eaves,
wile ol the well known costumer. tine
was not only restored, but is in perfect
health to day."
I thanked the doctor for his courteous
reception, for the valuable information
imparted, and I feel assured that his
generous and human nature will prevent
him from feeling other than glad at see
ing this interview published for the
benefit of suffering humanity. "

is about to remove to Nicaragua, and
there, nnder a government franchise,
open up the business on a grander ecile
than ever.
President Conrad I have heard some
thing of this, but there is no foundation
for it. The company has officially stated
that it bows to the decision of the Su

case more strongly than was done at the
time the company decided not to attempt
to obtain a renewal of its charter, lean
only repeat that the company will con
tinue in bnsiness until the expiration of
its present charter and then cease to
exist. I cannot understand, after all
that has been said, why there should be
any onfuiiou in the public mind about
the matter.

"Special sales" are a feature of New
York commercial life in the retail line,
und they contribute more to woman's
pleasure and caprice than any other one
phase of shopping experience. Those
who have never been to one have missed
a heap of fun. In one of the large up
town stores recently there was a "run"
on gloves. They were of a superior
quality, and sold for forty-five cents.
The sule started at 9 In the morning,
and directly there was a spirited scene
around thut counter. Women rudely
pushed one another away in their wild
endeavor to got a pair of gloves. One
gave a 5 bill and clamored for her
change. Another held a pair over the
heads of the crowd and endeavored to
give her money to ono of the salesgirls.
This woman, after patiently waiting for
a tiuie and Beeing no chance of getting
up to tho girl, quietly put the gloves in
her muff and sauntered off. She had a
bargaiu.
After a while the change from $5 was
brought back. The salesgirl had by this
time become rattled with the confusion
and rapidity with which the gloves were
being bought, And handed the money to
the wrong woman, who put it in her
purse and walked away. The lady to
whom the money belonged, getting un
easy at the long delay, finally ellxwed
her way through tho crowd, demanding
her change, and creating no little
excitement. The rush was so great
that the girls behind the counter grew
frantic, and began to cry. The lloor
walker ordered the sule closed for
three hours, announcing the time of
reopening. Then a, scene of wild con
fusion was dispelled, and the glove pur
chasers dispersed themselves over the
store aud were soon busied w ith other
purchases.
Three hours Inter the glovo sale begun
again, only to tiud even a greater crowd
clamoring for covering for their hands
than in the morning. It continued only
thirty minutes when it was again stopped
because the clerks could not wait on the
anxious customers. It was never re
opened, but the establishment, all the
same, got a first class advertisement out
of the attempt to sell dollar and a half

"Locked horns are becoming quite a

"uudsomeof the Adirondack hunters and
guides are making nice little sums by
occasional sales of the curiosity thut is
demanded. 'You see, tho old story about
the bucks that fall to fighting, and In
some manner get their horns locked so
they can't get apart and then starve to
death, has taken a strong hold upon the
romantic natures of many people and if
they can only get a set of locked horns
mounted they are happy.
"So the hunters select nice horns that
correspond as to size, and by the use of
a twisted cord and case spring them to
gether as if locked in their death em
brace by the maddened thrusts of fight
ing bucks. Then, on account of their
great rarity and the difflculy of finding
them, they are sold to the rich curiosity
hunter for a big price. His friends look
in wonder and envy at them, while ho
recounts the story told him by the guide
who found their skeletons held together
by the horns and the earth all trodden
down around the place so solidly that
vegetation had not grown there in years,
