Hw a Better P,ay( .d the piirt Scored a Beat Among the well known town m Brooklyn!, Frank Coo" at one time promised to be Bartley (w, merly a Chicago newspaper reporter that he had a very At the t.me singular adventure Mr. Cooper was vervvoun ; and very amb.tious to shine in'hU fess.on and when Mary Anderson, who pr was then the awe of the theatrical world, reached town, l)e thought he saw his chance to ascend the first few of the ladder of fame. He would rungs inter-view the noted actress. - This decision was reached in an instant, but many days passed before the project was put into execution. Miss Anderson's stepfather, Dr. Hamilton Griffin, was keeping his precious charge far from the interviewer'in those days. Mr. Cooper finally decided to apply for the honorable position of bell boy in the hotel at which the Anderson party stopped. JIi8 vouth-fu- l appearance helped him and ho soon donned the appropriate uniform. Then he lay in wait for a ring from Miss Ander-son's room. For over twelve hours he dashed about on errands and carried pitchers of ice water and glasses filled with something stronger before Miss Anderson mado up her mind that she wanted anything. Then the little flap covering the number of her room dropped with a click. Cooper had his eye on it, and almost before the clerk could cry "Front!" he was at the desk. "Number So and So!" said the clerk, "quick." The messenger needed no urging, but flew up the ntairs. His magnet wanted a scuttle of coal and down Cooper rushed. The next minute he was knocking at Miss Anderson's door with one hand and hold-ing the bucl; et with the other. Once in-side he made for the open grate, but in his nervousness ho spilled most of the coal on the carpet. Then he sat down in the midst of the ruin he had wrought and looking up found the actress standing over him. "What do you think of the future ci the stage?" hurst from his lips. Miss Anderson was impressed with the .humorous side of tho situation at onco and began laughing. This reassured the disguised reporter, and in a few minutes he was carrying on a discussion with the actress on matters pertaining to her art. This lasted for some time, Miss Ander-son expressing great (surprise at the knowledge displayed by a bell boy, and Cooper got an interview that all the old bands in town had despaired of being able to procure. How lie got out of the room, he says, he never knew, but when lie reached the office he threw up his job and rushed for his desk in the city of a local paper. The next day his interview and a description of the scene appeared. It was the talk of the hour. It was copied far and wide, and the author was assured that his future would be a bright one. PThe next day he paid for his temerity. His chief, the late Samuel Medill, a brother of the present owner of the pa-per in question, was so tickled at the "beat" he had obtained that he insisted that Cooper should meet Dr. Griffin. So that night he took the youthful imposter down to the hotel, and, sending for Dr. Griffin, formally presented him. For a full minute Dr. Griffln looked the re-porter straight in the eye, and then, drawing back his hand, struck him in the face. The blow was a hard one, and Cooper reeled and would have fallen to the floor had not Mr. Medill caught him. Before anything could be done Dr. Grif-fin had turned and left the room, and Mr. Cooper never saw him again. New York Times. SOLI) IllSWTON. A Freak Who Can Dislocate His Joints Without Difficulty and With No Apparent Pain. HOW HE FIEST DISCOVERED IT.! Working it for All it is Worth to Avoid Tasks In Demand at Hospitals. who is'in no sense a fake, is Charles He dislocates and replaces them AFKEAK, the great many visitors. The physicians in other countries, says the Brooklyn Kagle, have tiled to solve this mau's peculiar gift, but all have tailed and he remains as great a puzzle, to himself as well as others, as when he first discov-ered he could loosen himself, so to speak, without tlolug any harm or any pain. Mr. ilillkird is of medium height, lithe and graceful, and is possessed of his share of manly beauty. An Eagle reporter interviewed this stumbling block to science yeste-rdaybearded him in his den as it were and drew from him a life history which is full of incident and novelty. "I was born at Martinsburg, V. Va.(" he began, "on Aug. 16, 1857. I grew up to a schooling age the same as any other child. One day I remember it well I climbed into an orchard from which little boys were supposed to be ex-cluded, and, catching sight of a dog, quickly jumped the fence into the road-way, turning my ankle when I struck the ground. It didn't hurt any, so I kicked against the fence and snap it went back into place again. I went home and scared my parents almost into hysterics by repeating my snap act, and they sent post haste for a doctor. THE DOCTOR PUZZLED. "He twisted me and hammered me, and found a lot of new places that could be broken without pain, finally giving up the puzzle with the consoling theory that there was a screw loose somewhere. In school I soon learned to unjoint my head, and could write on the blackboard and look squarely at the school at tho same time. I always cracked my ankles instead of snapping my fingers to attract the teacher's attention, and if I found I was being beaten in a foot race I always managed to have a broken leg or twisted foot for ten or fifteen minutes as an ex-cuse for having lost. When a bucket of coal was needed my wrist was always dislocated; during harvest lime a dislo-cated knee came in very handy. I couldn't carry water with a dislocated shonlder, nor weed the garden with three broken fingers on each hand, so I man-aged to have things pretty eacy during my childhood. "As I grew older I found there were few joints in my body that I could not dislocate, and it gradually got to worry-ing me. I consulted one doctor after another, and one word, enigma, gives the result of all their investigations. When I gave it up in despair and re-solved not to bother myself any more about my failing, as I called it, the doc-tors begau. Dr. St. Clair, of the Port Huron Medical college; Dr. Pauerest, Philadelphia; Dr. Bliss, New York; Dr, Howell, Baltimore; Dr. Cliambors, St. Louis; Dr. Doremus, Philadelphia; Dr. Adolphus, Atlanta, Ga., and a thousand and one others tackled me one after another, and as regularly gave mo up as being an unexplainable mystery. "I now began to get used to being on exhibition through having so many doc-tors experimenting with me, and re-solved to accept one of the many offers that kept pouring in upon me to visit medical colleges throughout this coun-try and England, and after exhibiting for a time before surgeons and students at home I took an engagement in the Royal college in London, where they kept me for seven years, and yet could tell me no more when I left than when I entered. When I returned I took turns at the prominent colleges in the large cities, occasionally shifting of? to a sea-son in a museum or side show for a change. I have become completely hard-ened to criticism and curiosity regarding my defect or gift, which ever you have a mind to call it, and am just as well satisfied here or in a museum as before a crowd of students that are aching for my corpse whenever they see me. SOLD HIB SKELETON FOB $6,000. "College work pays me best, though. 1 get $ 150 a week at a college or where I am now, but I have worked as low as $73 in a museum just because I wanted a change so much. By the way, I suppose you read iu the newspapers a few years ago how I sold my bones. I bad received various offers from half a dozen cranks scattered over the country of from $1,000 to $4,000 for my body after death, money to be paid on date of contract, but I paid no attention to them. "Finally, one day while I was exhibit-ing at the Bellevue hospital, Philadel-phia, Dr. Doremus came up to me with a pleasant smile and the equally pleasant greeting of, 'Well, Hilliard, how much for your bones today:" 'They're $6,000 todav,' said I, laughing. 'It's a go,' he answered, and .the next day he seit me a check for that amount, and I signed a contract giving him my skeleton after death, but reserving the right to use it myself until death occurs. I thought at first it was a joke, but soon found out it was a straight transaction and business from the word go." Mr. Hilliard has never known what it was to be ill, and is in perfect physical condition. His disjointing and rejoint-in-are done quickly, and among many others include the following disloca-tions, which will give some idea of his peculiar formation: Complete disloca-tions of the wrists, elbows, fingers, an-kles and knees; four different disloca-tions of the shoulders and, four of the hips; eight dislocations at the same time, embracing shoulders, hips, knees and ankles, and twelve dislocations at the same time, embracing toes of each foot and the two ankles. While thus dislo-cated he shows seven different forms of what is known as club feet. Mr. Hill-iard is married, well educated and .a very pleasing conversationalist.

Tall men, as a rule, have bodies out of proportion to their lower limbs that is, smaller than they ought to be with the natural result that they are unable to bear fatigue, or to compete in the struggles of life with lesser men more harmoniously proportioned. Army ex-perience bears out these observations. In a long and fatiguing march the tall men usually fall out first or succumb to cam-paigning, unless, as is very rarely the case, they have well knit and symmetri-cal frames. A soldier between five feet five inches and five feet eight or nine inches is usually the man most capable of bearing the strain of life. New York Telegram. 0er U300.000 for Pontage Stamps. The most valuable of all private collec-tions belongs to M. Philippe de Ferrari, pf the Galliera family, who regularly at-tends the Paris mart to enrich his album. This family souvenir has already cost more than three hundred thousand dol-lars, or a million and a half of francs. The acquisition of stamps seoms to be the only object for which M. Ferrari considered his mother's millions good enough to be spent, for he has been known to pay from $800 to for a collection from which he wanted only a single stamp. Paris Letter.
