PALE AS A CORPSE.

That he fully justified this belief goes without saying.

The Welsh rider was pale as a corpse when he jumped off his wheel and had no excuse to make for his defeat.  Taylor’s performance undoubtedly stamps him as the premier ’cycle sprinter of the world, and, judging from the staying qualities he exhibited in his six days’ ride in the Madison Square Garden, the middle distance championship may be his before the end of the present season.

A NEGRO MILLIONAIRE FOUND AT LAST.

After a search of many years, at last a Negro millionaire, yes, a multi-millionaire has been found.  He resides in the city of Guatemala, and is known as Don Juan Knight.  It is said he is to that country what Huntington and other monied men are to this country.  He was born a slave in the State of Alabama.  He owns gold mines, large coffee and banana farms, is the second largest dealer in mahogany in the world, owns a bank and pays his employees $200,000 a year.  His wealth is estimated at $70,000,000.  He was the property of the Uptons, of Dadeville, Ala.  He contributes largely to educational institutions, has erected hospitals, etc.  He is sought for his advice by the government whenever a bond issue, etc., is to be made.  He lives in a palace and has hosts of servants to wait on his family.  He married a native and has seven children.  They have all been educated in this country.  Two of his sons are in a military academy in Mississippi and one of his daughters is an accomplished portrait painter in Boston.  He visited the old plantation where he was born recently and employed the son of his former master as foreman of his mines.  Finding that the wife of his former master was sick and without money, he gave her enough money to live on the balance of her life.  He employs more men than any other man in Guatemala and is the wealthiest one there.—­Maxton Blade.

UNCLE SAM’S MONEY SEALER WHO COULD STEAL MILLIONS IF HE WOULD.

There is only one man in the United States who could steal $10,000,000 and not have the theft discovered for six months.

This man has a salary of $1,200 a year.  He is a Negro and his name is John R. Brown.

Mr. Brown’s interesting duty is to be the packer of currency under James F. Meline, the Assistant Treasurer of the United States, who, says that his is a place where automatic safeguards and checks fail, and where the government must trust to the honesty of the official.

All the currency printed at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing is completed in the Treasury Building by having the red seal printed on it there.  It comes to the Treasury Building in sheets of four notes each, and when the seal has been imprinted on the notes they are cut apart and put into packages to dry.  John Brown’s duty is to put up the packages of notes and seal them.
