Visiting the Claimant,

The London Daily NcWS says: An
interview with the claimant took place at
Portsmouth Convict Prison. II being
the anniversary Of his birth, his sons,
Roger and James, were allowed to visit
him, by special order Of the Home
Secretary. The boys were accompanied
by Mr.. S. Pearse, late Under Sheriff Of
Southampton and only three visitors be-
ing permitted at the interview, the re-.
malnder Of the conyict's friends were
obliged 10 remain outside the prison
gates The claimant looked we'll, and
had no complaint TO make as to his diet
OF treatment. When Intercepted on the
subject of the report lately current of his
having been put in irons, he said TO his
son Roger, pointing TO the Sood-conduct

anniversary would I've passed in differ.

with the information that his eldest son,
Roger, had gained the first prize at his
school at Romsay, and his second son,
James, having been equally successful in
obtaining one for good conduct When
asked if he had any objections to his sons
coming to see him, he said "Two years
ago told Mr.. Gnliord Onslow that !
should not like them to see me in the
prison dress, but then thought should
never live to serve ont my sentence. Now
that feel well again have no such oh.

Of his son Roger writing to the Home
Secretary and asking for a remission Of
his sentence on the ground that he and
his brothers and sisters we're growing up
and ought to have u fathers anxious care

Grated that he had no fault to find with
The prison officials, who discharged n

As his sons were leaving him he told
Roger that a well known firm of solicitors

THE HERO OF THE COMSTOCK.
A Great Reputation Roined by Toe h"ch
Teal.

From the Carson Appeal
Years ago, in the early days OF tie
Comstock excitement, Pat Holland, now
Postmaster and Coroner III little town
in Cachise County, Arizona, was the
most respected man in the State. He
had the reputation Of being dead sho'
with the pistol. OF course this accom-
plishment made him fearcdby everybody,
and there was no man in Virginia obold
ns to cross him in public. Pat acquired
his reputation by shooting on the stage,
and could knock an apple off his sons
head with an accuracy and carclessness
which combined TO impress the pubic
far more than the manner in which the
painstaking William Tell performed the
feat with an arrow. Finally Pat secured
young lady who would allow an apple
20 he shot of her haIen roll, aud when
Pat executed the feat he would throw
hi, keen eye at the girl and then roll his
Orbs mp into the gallery, and without
looking at his mark, send \ bullet through
the fruit. This was put down on the
bills as "Pat Hollands psychological feat
Of shooting from memory and drew
crowded houses. One night he advcr.
iisel to shoot apples from twelve yong
ladies' heads IN succession, and onl Y take
one look at the crowd. Piper's Opera
House was packed with men at Il dollar
a head, and when the curtain rose twelve
immaculate ballet dancers were III line
along the wings, each with an apple on
her head. Pat stepped to the footllghts
and bowed amid tremendous applause,
H. had sx.shootcr in each hand, and
the stage manager announced that he
would shoot the last six apples with his
left hand Casting his eye along the
line, he took a long breath, q steady posi-
ton, and then faced the audience. Lift
ing his revolver he began shooting III
rapid succession, and the apples began
to hy out Of sight amid the GREATNESS
silence Of the audience. The curious
part Of the performance, however, lay III
the fact that hy the time that Pat had
fired six shots all the appl had disap-
ppmcd, vet he kept right on hanging
away with his lett hand, amid roas OF
laughter and derision. Tocaptho climax.
two apples got tangled together and re.
manned dangling from the edge Of a
scene in plain sight Of the audience. The
trick was at once apparent. Each apple
had Il fine thread attached, and at the
shot was icrked quickly out Of sight. The
snpes behind the scenes got confused al
Pats rapid firing, and half the apples
disappeared before the time. Two wer,
snatchcd of simultaneously, aud th,
strings overlapping in the air brought
the apples together, where they hung t'
the edge Of thc scene, the strings bcinl
on each side. This ended Holland
career as public soloist with the pistol
and the public gradually came TO lool
upon him as an ordinary mortal. SooI
after this he got into street row i
Phoebe, and fired ten shots IN dcnscl
populated portion Of the city withou
killing man. But for attempting Ia II
too much Ut once, he might have gone I
Congress from Arizona years ago.

The Ostrich AZ a Speculation.

The New York Times editor has gone
into the ostrich business and gives his
experience MS follows:-Let us suppose
that man with wife and three children
undertakes to raise ostriches, and to that
end borrows 800 and buys pair Of
birds. ii he uses one egg per day for
the table he can give his family nil the
animal food they need. Ii he fries fine
yolk of the egg for breakfast he can
cook the white for dinner. He can sell
$3.50 worth of feathers at the end of his
first year of ostrichraising, and if there
are any hotels or boarding houses in the
ncighborho1d, he can make from $50 TO
$50 by selling the thick ends of the
ostrich qulls--which are usually six
inches long and half M inch in
diameter-to be used for stuhng feather
beds. Meanwhile, the original ostriches
will be Matching ont broods of Young
ostriches. Even if they produce only
twelve young ostriches per annum, the
young birds will he worth, as soon as
they are fully grown. 5000 each.
Thus we see that an original investment
ct $500 for a pair of ostriches will return
within one year $1,000, more or less;
and as the young ostriches grow to
maturity and begin to lay their own
Eggs the yield will be proportionatelv
greater.
Ostrich keeping in this country is at.
tended with one advantage. The ostrich.
keeper is able to keep his ostriches. 70
enter an ostrich-house and carry of, nm
ostrich without alarming its owner would
oe an impossibiity. Not only is the
blrd far too big and heavy to be carried
ny less than three or four stout men but
on being rudely awakened in the middle
OF the night he is sure to kick with tro-
mendous force. " "
When ostriches have become too old
TO lay they make admirable substitutes
tor the spring chicken of railway restau.
rants. Not only is one ostrich equal in
SIZE TO dozens of chickens, but il is prac. |
tlcally indestructible, and in cold weather
u can be served mp for many successive
days and to thousands of successive nae.
sengefs, 1t is quite possible that after
having ervedfor time as spring chicken
inc aged ostrich could be worked nn,nto
