DEVOURED EVERYTHING IN SIGHT. At Oue Counter Ha Ate $18.75 Worth of Plain Food Digestion Eual to a Threshing Machine. William Green appeared at the four courts and before Assistant Prosecut-ing Attorney Dierkes swore out a war-rant charging Otto Feldt with embez-zlement. Foldt lives at 2,511 Blair ave-nue. It is alleged in the information that he borrowed from Groen a photo-graphic outfit of the value of $40, which , ho has refused to return, The prosecntor, William Green, ie .something of an eater. In fact, lie is the champion of tho country in his line, hav-ing defeated all comers at numerous matches. Years ago the challenges sent out by his friends, who wished to back him to out eat any man in the Untied States, were never accepted, and forfeits which had been posted were taken down. Green has a record. The first match of any note in which he was engaged came off in 1872. From his boyhood he had recognized that ho had an enormous capacity for any kind of food, yet his fare for a day or a week would compare in quantity with that of any ordinary working man. It was only when he tried to eat that ho devoured such an immense amount of food. green's history. Iu 1H2 Green, who is a collector, was at work with a number of bills in South St. Louis, when he mot three men at the lunch counter. One of them was a tailor, another a constablo and the third a dep-uty marshal. Green felt a little hungry after his walk and set in toeatthe whole of a five pound sausage. The tailor, the constable and the marshal thought they could eat a little bit themselves, and a match was prepared by some of the by-standers. It was agreed that the man eating the least was to pay the whole bill, and the quartot set to work. Such confidence had Green in his own abilities that ho took bets right and left at even money that he would beat the others. As the contest proceeded he offered ab-surd odds that ho could win with pounds to spare. He was not known about the place and the bystanders fairly crowded for his money, having seen what tho marshal and constable could do on various occa-- i sions. Everything in the saloon went on the bill of fare and tho men ate for an hour. Then the tailor gave it up in de-spair and sat down to watch the others. Ten minutes later the constable had a pain under his jacket and retired. The marshal stood it for another half hour and then gave up in disgust. Green ate with such a vigor that everybody was surprised. When he finished he had de-voured $18.75 worth of food and his ap-petite was still good. Green collected his bets and went home. The story of the match spread, and the following day Drs. Gregory, Mudd, Ludwig and Hess called at his residence expecting to find him dead. He was as chipper as a cricket, however, and regaled his medical visitors with tho stories of his eating feat. Sworn statements of the amount the man had eaten were made and accounts of the affair were telegraphed all over the coun-try. UA8TRONOM10 FEATS. Green made no more matches for a number of years, boing decidedly averse to obtaining notoriety on account of his peculiar abilities. On several occasions, however, he went with somo of his friends to places about the city, and sur-prised all spectators by devouring every morsel of food on the lunch counters. Proprietors of restaurants whero the sign "All you can eat for fifteen cents" was hung up soon grew to know him, ' nnd'barred their doors when they saw him about to enter. Finally his friends backed him to eat cove oysters against the record. A Con-necticut man had devoured eight quarts of the bivalves, but Green almost dis-counted him by swallowing twelve quarts in an hour's time. When tho crazo over tho eating of one quail a day for thirty days was on Green won numerous wagers, first by eating one quail a day for twenty-- I five days, then for thirty days and finaliy for'fif ty days. His friends off ered to back him to eat two quails a day for a month, but could got no answer to their challenge. Green's latest match was less than three months ago. He was in a small country town collecting for a St. Louis glass company and met a horse trader in a restaurant. The horse trader thought he could eat oysters with the next man and offered to back himself against the crowd. Green took all the liets he could get, and then bet his opponent two to one that he would eat two quarts to his one. The horse trader was same and the bet were made. When Groen offered him three to one, however, he weakened, and the contest was commenced. The horse man swal-- ! lowed three quarts of the bivalves and quit. By this time Green had put him-- ! self on tho outsido of five quarts. He then offered to bet that he could cat as many more and won all the money in sight by covering an additional ten quarts. This made almost four gallons of the lnollusks which had entered his stomach, yet he was not even "phased." Green is a middle aged man, of medium height, yet short iu build. He weighs in the neighborhood of 25!) pounds and has never been sick in his life. His appetite i is normal, but his capacity is abnormal tosay the least.

' Ho had been a serf, and in 1852 his master had accused him of theft, and had caused him to be exiled to Okhotsk, in Eastern Siberia. As the crime of which he had been accused could not bo established he was sent off a a "free exile'' that is, he was not kept a prisoner or bound to penal service in the place of his detonation. For thirty-eig-years he worked in Okhotsk as a tanner, and saved money,.

But he was still halo and hearty, and traveled all the way from Okhotsk on foot. He was on the road, twenty-tw- o months, and had many a narrow escape from encounters with bears and wolves.

"This is one of the busiest seasons for us," said a pawnbroker. "You see, the impecunious young men are now about to go to tho seashore, and they leave with us all they can dispense with in order to help defray their expenses while mas-querading down there as wealthy young men, and angling for young women with good bank accounts. Just now we have on hand a very large stack of overcoats, ulsters and watches, tho advances on which will find their way in short order to the tills of the seashore hotel keepers. Some of these men have been customers of mine for years, and when I see them come in with their bundles I know that the season at the seashore has been opened. When the weather cools up in the fall they will raiso the money in some manner, and then come in and re-deem their pledges." Philadelphia In-quirer. V tM'ANNV IIMANIS " " Foreigners Who Come Here Long After ? They Are Bead A Ghastly Industry, IMFORTIHG - DEAD MEN'S 'BODIES.' Skeletons Are Strung Together Cheaper Abroad The Eise and Fall of Djad Men's Bodies. 'ry few men would care to die in tho knowledge that their skeletons, instead of decently crumbling into dust, would eventually be parading about in a world which their owners had quitted forever. Oeraflionally a man gives up the ghost, and at the same time gives up his bones, for professional or commercial uses; but such a man is invariably an abnormal creature, whom no ono loved while liv-ing or mourned when dead. Through poverty ami crime many skeletons are available, but it is seldom that one is articulated in this country except by a clever surgeon, and then only for his own use. It is 'x fact not generally known that all skeletons used by secret; societies and in other ways in the United States are imported from Kurnpe. This uncanny traffic over tho sea is not due to any scarcity of skeletons here, but to an absence of the peculiar skilled labor necessary to the proper stringing of the bones together. No doubt tho in-dustry could be successfully introduced here were it protected by the tariff, but skeletons being on the freo list there is no encouragement to enter into competi-tion with tho cheaper labor of Europe. v A mistaken impression prevails in the popular mind that nearly all strictly secret societies ust! human skeletons in their ccrenionii?, tho fart being that only a limited number among such or-ganizations iisH them. For this reason no stock of this sort is kept on band, and articulated skeletons are imported on the receipt of orders. COST Of A KKM.KTON. The number of firms who import hu-man skeletons in Now York is small probably not more than three and such importation forms but au insignificant branch of general business either ia surgical supplies or society parapher-nalia. It is seldom, too, that tho mem-bers of tt lodge or council, aside from its officers, know by what firm its skeleton is supplied. This fact is to bo accounted for by the reluctance of the importers to figure openly in such transactions. Thoypre- - fer to conduct them quietly and unos-tentatiously. A layman, unless an inti-mate friend, can seldom get a mercluint to acknowledge plainly that he deals in skeletons. Ho will evade the question, and may compromiso on tho statement that ho once dealt in them, but no longer floeg so. Tho average cost of the skeleton of . a foreigner, properly articulated and mounted for use, is about $50, although they may run as high as $75, where more elaborate material is used, The same work, if turned out on this side of the water, would probably cost double the amount. Imported skeletons are always good specimens, and most of them come from hYuice and Oemiauy, whero skilled la-bor of Ibis sort is most readily found and cultivated. They come as a rule in ordinary black casket, to one end of which the skull is hung, so that the bones may swing freely, and they pass the customs inspectors without exciting comment. TKEATKII WITH ItKVKNKNCR. A curious case of mistaken public ex-citement will be recalled, where a .skele-ton imported to onlerfor a secret society of Wultham, Mass., was duly shipped to ita destination, but owing to some error in the directions on the box was refused by the person to whom the express com-pany delivered it. Tho box was there-upon opened at tho express office, and the discovery of its contents created a , positive sensation until tho shipper came forward and explained. While there is something ghastly at first sight in a man's bonus, thus being withheld from tho earth and traveling about the globe, it is certain that, hav-ing started on their travels, they could not fall into better hands than those of a secret order. Instead of mooting with levity or neglect, they aro here treated with all tho reverence and care that would bo accorded the dead body in any assemblage. Their office, in convoying a sense of the littleness of human existence and the awfubiess of death, is too serious to admit of any other treatment; and a case is known to tho writer whero, somo years ago, a member of a lodge was suspended in disgrace fur display-ing such a skeleton to a party of friends in the lodgo room during a facetious mood. If one must remain a skeleton, better be reverently bestowed in a secret lodge than on a surgeon's table. In some cases.diowever, where a lodge does not care to import a skeleton, a do-mestic imitation, poorly and imperfectly articulated, can be obtained, and is easi-ly manufactured. Being symbolic it, of courso, serves tho purpose in a meas-ure, but with a majority of men can scarcely bo expected to carry the same impression as the genuine an icle. New York News. Tlia King or Tramps. Wilson Becker is the name of the young tramp, known in Boston as "Sailor Kid," who recently traveled from Boston to San Francisco and re-turn in twenty-on- e days, without spend-ing a cent for food or railroad fare. He is but 20 years old, and has won the title of "King of the Tramps" from his adroit-ness in beating his way. He was backed in his late transcontinental trip by a Boston man in the sum of $500 and won. He now offers to wager this sum that he can girdle the globe on the same condi-tions in 102 days. He hi a born dead-be- at and brings the highest talent into his business.
