De Murska's Menagerie.

tNuRnla tNeNs) thrOnicle.i
A noticeable popularity of theatrical
people is passion for pets. lima de
Murska is no exception 70 the rule. Last
evening Chronicle reporter called upon
her at the International Hotel, wishing
to explode the story of the singing
mouse.
The reporter explained his business
Immediately.
Madame, you have a singing mouse
in your possession z"
The lady at once went to the window
and produced little wire cage, in which
the vocalizing rodent nestled in bed of
cotton batting.
"Does he singf"
Certainly"
Have the goodness to start him."
The cantatrice tripped up and down
the scale few times. This caused the
mouse to wriggle his tail slightly and
stretch it's hind legs spasmodically,
but he did not encore. The perverse
animal was then replaced on the win
dow-sill, with the assurance of the owner
that he was liable to MARBLE at any
time.
The reporter then had an opportunity
to examine other samples of natural his
tory, scattered about the apartment. In
two large wicker cages were couple Of
Australian magpies, which made their
presence felt by running their bills into
the calf of the reporters leg. At irreg
ular intervals they whistled bars of mu-
sic, and when the prima donna scrambled
up the scale, they initiated her exactly
One, however, with a fine sense of humor
would begin familiar melody, then
come to full stop, and emit a screech
that made ones pulse leap up one
hundred and sixty beats minute.
Presently Scotch poodle crawled out
from under the sofa and climbed into
the reporters lap. He was immedi-
ately followed by Skye terrier with
cropped ears, and little hairy spaniel
"Where is your bull dogY inquired
the reporter.
"Getting doctored in San Francisco.
He will be up in week. You should
see him-he is perfectly divine"
"You liep
This somewhat blunt remark came
from poll parrot in cage on the
mantelpiece. Nine. de Murska re-
marked that she had purchased the bird
in San Francisco, and at times it was in
sulting.
Here the bird gave the reporter a
touch of his early training by blasphem-
ing in a most horrible manner, while its
mistress shook the cage and tapped a
towel at it. The bird went into fury
of passion, and threw off a shower of
profane explosives that would have re-
flected credit on sixteen-mule quartz
teamster. A glass of water soused over
it finally brought the wicked bird to its
senses. The Madame apologized for the
parrots conduct, and then trotted out
the mouse again.
This time the animal was in better
trim, and, in response to little chuck
ing on the part of il is mistress, chirruped
like bird for half minute That the
mouse could sing there was no mistake,
but he was by no means as accomplished
a performer as either of the magpies,
and his voice lacked compass as well as
volume.
The Madam assured the reporter that she
hadn't have half her collection with her;
most of it was in San Francisco, and be-
fore she left she expected to get dog
from Jack Magee and young bear from
Tom Bean. AS the reporter left the dogs
barked, the magpies screeched like cross
cut saws and the parrot told him to
Take spin round the block"

NEVER faint when you are alone.
Always select some good opportunity.
The more persons there are about you,
the more successful will be your fit. A
friends house, where there is dinner or
an evening party going on, is far from a
bad opportunity. Never faint more
than once in the same evening, as there
may be falling-off in the sympathy on
the second experiment. A woman
should not only faint we'll, but be above
suspicion. Be very careful, therefore,
never to risk faint unless you have
some object in view-such as going out
of town, or new gown, or box at the
opera, or being taken to some fete, or any
other little caprice which your husband
may have obstinately refused you. In
such cases Mysteries are sometimes justi-
fable.

Becoming at length satisfied of the truth of these

Special to the IntsllIgeuer:
A man named Nathan Crow, aged 3S,
who lives in Westernport, Md, has made
three attempts to commit a rape on his
little daughter, a child Of s years, on
three successive days, and on Saturday
last he sent her brother TO tell his sister
that he wanted to see her and to come TO
his room. When she came according TO
his request he attempted the third time
to accomplish his brutal purpose, bruis.
ing the poor child bsdly, but not how
ever, seriously. The injured child not
understanding his object, and suffering
from her injury, made known what had
happened to her mother, who induced
her 10 go and complain against her
father and have him arrested. After his
arrest, and as soon as the facts became
generally known among the people, the
authorities were compelled to put the
man in Jail to prevent his being lynched.
