John R. McLean's Great Newspaper.

Without a single exception, there li beyond doubt no greater or more popular newspaper in the United States than the Cincinnati Enquirer or a more successful publisher than its proprietor, Mr. John R. McLean. I The old-time prices for the Daily

Enquirer have been maintained, and Jti circulation largely ihcreased each rjrear hard times and cheaper jourjwls failing to arrest its onward march »and high appreciation of the public fcr its true worth and merit.

The Weekly Enquirer at beginning .of the campaign year was offered at pjo cents a year, and its circulation increased by the addition of over

*00,000

J^QObstantial

new subscribers the most

and coveted testimonial a

l|| publisher could desire, 1, 4 when asked for the'secret of such tuccess, Mr. McLean frankly answers:

I^TThe Enquirer has no opinions to force its patrons, it simply prints the jlpictt and tells the truth that the reader ^piWy form his own opinions. By inaiqtaining the price of the paper, more news and greater variety can be furnished, and every class of business interests catered to, which a cheaper .Journal cannot afford.

The very liberal support given the Pnquiyer by the public at large, makes f^iocumbent upon the-management it faithfully with zeail and enijeipiue in minor matters as well as of locator magnitude. v*

Been "laafleneed" by a Seventeen* T«»H)ld Boy—Other Ohm.

HB SUlCIDB OF Joseph Meyers, a young German, near Hinsdale, Cattaraufus county,. New York, the other day, brings to light one of the strangest tales ever heard in western New York. A year ago Meyers ap­

peared in Hinsdale and went to work as a farm hand for Staley Wood, a rich farmer and politician. He said that his home was in St. Marys, a German village in the Pennsylvania soft coal regions. Meyers was a handsome fellow, of medium height, a fair complexion, and had piercing eyes. When he talked he looked straight Into his listener's eyes. He was fairly well educated, and spoke German and English fluently. Early last spring Meyers became acquainted with Sylvia Stores, the daughter of Mr. Brazil Stores, a farmer who lives a mile out of Hinsdale and near the Wood farm.. Sylvia was a pretty' brunette of seventeen. Meyers accompanied her home from church several times. Her father disliked Meyers and asked the girl to cease allowing him to walk home with her. Meyers soon began to have a wonderful influence over the girl. Mrs. Stores liked the young man and took his part In the family discussions. On July 4 Mrs. Stores allowed the girl to go with Meyers to Lime Lake, a few miles away, to attend a celebration. At Lime Lake they entered an ice-cream parlor and Meyers ordered some cream. As she was eating the cream he passed his hand rapidly over her forehead and she became drowsy. "I am so sleepy I can't keep awake," the said, and .when she again realized anything It was late in the afternoon, and they were on a train. "Where are we!" A* demanded, "and where have we been?"

Meyers told her that they were on their way home, and that they had been to Arcade, a town 30 miles away, and were married. The girl iwas horrified at his statement. He told her to tell her people about the marriage, but warned her not to tell a soul that she had no remembrance of a ceremony being performed. "If you do," he said, "I will kill you!" As the girl had not been engaged to Meyers, and tbe marriage was distasteful to her father, Meyers was ordered to keep clear of the house. A few days later Meyers and the girl went to Buffalo to get the marriage certificate. They remained In that city over Sunday, staying with an aunt of Meyers. They also called on a sister of Meyers and an acquaintance of his, a butcher. Tbey visited an old German preacher, who gave Meyers the marrisge certificate. Meyers conversed entirely in German with the preacher' and bis relatives, and the girl did not understand a word they said. Soon after they returned to Hinsdale, Meyers became melancholy, and when 'he visited the house, as he did occasionally, he always had a row with Storrs. Several times he threatened to kill him if he did not allow him to take his young wife away with him. A month ago Meyers quit work and went to live with a German family near the home of his wife. Three weeks ago he bought a revolver. Then he went to the Storrs house and accused hiB wife of telling her father the secret of their marriage. He pressed the revolver to her temple and told her that they would die together. She pleaded with him and told him that Bhe had not told a word to anyone. A few days later he became involved fn a quarrel with Storrs and threatened his life. Storrs decided to have Meyers arrested, but his wife dissuaded him. Two weeks later Meyers went to the house and

JOSEPH MEYERS.

told his wife that he believed she had told the secret of the marriage and that It was best that they should both die. As he pointed the revolver at her she ran screaming towards the house and fell across the threshold. There was a report of a pistol at the gate. Meyers was found with a Niiiet through his heart. A month ago Sylvia went to Bolivar to visit a relative, and to her she confided the secret of her strange marriage. She said that at first she thought the ice cream had been drugged, but believed that hypnotism caused her trouble. She said that when Meyers- looked at her Intently and 'passed his hands across her forehead she va« utterly hololess.

George T. Quia*, for whoa the polio* 9t New York tave been searching for the past its weeks, has been arrested at Lake View, Riverside county, Cal., where he was living on a ranch. Qulnn was collector for J. B. Hall, a New York decorator, aqd it charged with raising a oheck from {441 to 97,641. He decamped with the wife of H. W. Gamble of Brooklyn, and while en route to California stopped off at Eudora, Kan., where he married a young woman who was said to be very wealthy. He deserted her within a few days, and when arreeted was living with the Gamble woman. Quinn claims that his wanderings for two years have been underrth* hypnotic control of Gilbert Orcutt, a 17-year-old boy. Quinn then had a wife and two children. Orcutt exercised an evil influence and soon Qulnn became infatuated with Mrs. Gamble, wife of a Brooklyn druggist his wife left htm and he raised Hall St Co.'s cheek, caahed it, an'' went to Chicago. Then, with Oreutt and Mrs. Gamble, he bought a farm near Riverside, Cal. They stopped at Budora, Kan., where Quinn, calling himself Gilbert, married a rich girt. Quinn soon deserted his wife and the three eaane to California. -m

Strange Power of a Boy. A It is a curious thing the power which some human beings have over onimniw There is in Lowell a boy, differing in no respect from his companions, who has this power in a marked degree.' Every stray dog or cat in the neighbor* hood knows him and loves to be in his company. A- vicious horse, which

GEO. T. QUINN.

the stableman can with difficulty handle, will stand like a lamb while he harnesses and unharnesses him. The doves fly around him, and in the woods the wild blrdB apparently regard him as a friend and ally. The most remarkable exhibition of his power, which has long been known and commented on by his friends, was given the other day. A large and vicious rat was captured in the stable In one of those traps which permit of easy Ingress and no egress. The men who were looking at the animal were afraid to go near the trap, the animal showed such terror, but the boy, when he beheld the imprisoned creature, fearlessly put out his finger and stroked his head, the rat manifesting as much pleasure as would a cat or a dog. Several days have passed since then, and the stablemen are still afraid of their captuie, but he has grown so tame and familiar with the boy as to allow him to take him out and put him in the trap, will come at his whistle, and manifests every appearance of Joy at his presence. There seems to be no question but what the boy could train that rat to perform almost any feat within the power of such an animal.

Thinks He la Hypnotized.

A well-dressed man walked into the •Central police Btation, Chicago, the other morning and asked for the chief of police. Detective Thomas L. Trehorn inquired if he could he of any service. "Are you an officer?" Inquired the visitor. "I am," answered the detective. "Susceptible to influences?" queried the man. "Very," replied Trehorn. "Ah, very well," said the man. "I am FranciB Madigan, phrenologist, hypnotist, mind reader, lecturer and mine-owner. I have come here, my dear sir, to inquire if there is not some protection against a hypnotic crew which continually bothers me. The crew is composed of John Bowers, attorney at law, Richard Bowers, his brother, an abstract clerk, and Rev. Dr. Spaulding, an episcopal minister, all of Los Angeles, Cal. These men hypnotized me six months ago. By so doing they obtained from me much valuable mining property. Although they are far away, I talk with them daily. Thev assert that I am an A. P. A. man. I am mere putty in their hands. I can hold conversation with these people any noment If you are susceptible, I can lalk through you to them." tective "All right, go ahead," said Detective Trehorn. "Ah, many thanks," replied Madigan. Then a moment later he remarked: "Do you not hear them talking? Bless me if. the hypnotic crew is not in a jolly mood to-day." "Well, I'llteli you what we'll do. We'll go and see the chief about that crew," said Detective Trehorn. "Capital suggestion," answered Madigan, and he accompanied the detective to the Harison street station where ho was locked up.

WAR.—The world Is earning to understand, more and more the absurdity of maintaining a warlike attitude and supporting in times of peace great armies. The sentiment against war is steadily gaining.—Rev. A. Z. Conrad, Congregationalist, Worcester, M|^fv„.

CHEERFyLNE88.—There is no use to be, down In the dark, damp cellar when there are light, and warmth, ond comfort in the parlor.. Consistency is a great essential of a Christian life. There is too little of it in the lives of Christian people.—Rev. J. 1. Paxton, Presbyterian, Philadelphia.

WOMAN.—1 am ashamed to' say thai for 6,000 yeara man haa been a petty tyrant and lordllng as far as woman has been concerned. Every intelligent student of history knows this to be true.—Rev. B. P. Wright, Congregationalist, Gardner, 111.

CITIZENSHIP.—Good citizenship demands fi^pt the recognition of God as supreme governor. As citizens men have no more right to ignore God than as individuals. If our bodies and souls belong to Him so does, our state.—Rav. C. A. Van Anda, Chicago.

GOVERNMENT.—God deals with governments as with Individuals. Where righteousness reigns there is blesslngi Where It (s Ignored there cometh destruction.—Rev. J. L. Weaver. Presbyterian, Philadelphia.

SOCIAL ETHICS.—As Columbus discovered a neglected hemisphere, so we are just discovering a neglected hemisphere of church work—the hemisphere of social ethics.—Rev. W. P. Craft, Presbyterian, Washington.

PATRIOTISM.—True American patriotism lies in fulfillment Of American Ideas rather than in calculating upon American interests. It is the sound, patriotic American spirit to hold duty higher than Interest, to hold the citizen's obligations at least aa sacred as his rights.—Rev. J. P. Brodie, Congre gationalist, Salem. Mass.

THE STATE.—The state is a moral organism. One man Is not altogether man. Human nature cannot mnniftgrt Itself Wholly in the individual. It does not develop in isolation. Hence emerge of very necessity out of the soul of humanity Itself family life, social life, religious life, political life.—Rev. N. Luccock, Methodist, Pittsburg.

POLITICS AND RELIGION.—Just so long as good men walk one way in their religion and another In their politics and join in the foolish cry that politics has nothing to do with religion, so long will bad men with selfish schemes and unscrupulous methods control affairs. Religion must be mixed with politics, business, Industrial, and social life.—Rev. P. B. Cherlngton, Congregationalist, Spokane, Wash.

CHRISTIAN PATRIOTISM. The gospel of Christ applies to the great questions of tariff and finance and immigration, to the recognition of Cuban belligerency, or the settlement of the Venezuelan boundary, or the defense of American citizens in Crete or Armenia, just as it does to the questions of the Immortality of the soul or the destiny of the impenitent—Rev. G. A. Cleveland, Baptist, Riverside, Cal,

The Cocoanut Crab.

The cocoanut crab Is one of the oddest specimens of the whole crab family. He lives In the South Islands, and makes a diet of cocoanuts. This species has a pair of front legs terminated with a strong pair of pinchers, and it is with these that he

hUBks

the

nuts and breaks through the weakest portion of the shell. The crab begins by tearing the husk, fiber by fiber, and always at the end where the eyeholes tif the nut are situated, that being the weakest place in the shell. When the husk has been removed the crab commences hammering the shell with his heavy claws, and soon makes an opening, through which he extracts the meat of the nut. Mr. Darwin, writing of this crab, says: "I think this Is as curious a case of instinct as I ever heard of, especially in structures so remote from each other in the scheme of nature as a cocoanut and a crab."

Jackaon's First Wheel.

The Jackson (Ky.) Hustler says: "The first bicycle ever in Jackson arrived by express last week. It Is the property of one of the professors at the college. A big, strapping mountaineer from Leslie saw the wheel in the express office and said 'What's that air?' 'A bicycle," answered a bystander, who went on to explain its uses. 'I low'd mebbe it was a newfangled contraption to measure saw logs with,' replied the citizen of Leslie. And Just then Ben Wells fainted and fell over a pile of express matter."

A Kqolrrel'e Capaclona Month.

A Dummerston (Vt.) man wished to ascertain how many kernels of corn a chipmunk could carry In its mouth. Thirty kernels were placed on a board. A squirrel carried them all away at one time.
