the greatest living curiosity of the age, and
he is so advertised and put on big posters.
On the mammoth posters be is represented as
the wild spotted leopard from Madagascar,
and as giant Goliath, pushing an immense
tiger aside with mere brush of his hand.
His false hair and beard are long and wavy,
reminding the beholder of the patriarchs of
olden times. Two large tusks have been in
serted in Ike's mouth which gives him a
ferocious appearance
Spotted Ike has large, strong iron cage,
and is further secured by a large chain. such
as is used in training elephants. He is the
terror of the cowboys and Indians out west,
and on all proper occasions is violent and
seemingly unmanageable He ravenously
eats raw beef steak in the presence of specta-
tors, that is, he puts it in his mouth and con-
veniently and dextrously hides it behind his
immense beard. He paws cooked potatoes
very much like wild beast before a crowd,
and eats them like any other niger at meal
time.
Ike plays his parts well and receives about
500 per week for his deception and wild
pranks.
When Ike returns to his home in New AL
bany he will be as docile as a dove and even
small boys will be able, as heretofore, to
chase him out of town.

consuming nearly all the morning session of
the court He was followed by ex-Lieuten-

speech, occupying most of the afternoon.
His chief points were similar to those Of
Colonel Phillips yesterday, but he was more

contended that there were but four men en-
gagged in the Winston robbery, and that
Frank James was not one of them, that Dick

Yellowstone Park Letter.
Immediately on the arrival of the excur-
sionsts at Hot Springs Hotel in Yellowstone
park three dudes determined Oil having II
bath as the proper thing under the circum-
stances They were directed to the bath
spring, three-quartGrs of mile from the
hotel, and were soon mounted and en- route.
They had been in the water only few mo-
ments when they were saluted by series of
yells and the discharge OF numerous re-
volvers Following this pandemonium, half
dozen cowboys galloped into view, arrayed
i'll buckskin toggery and armed with re-
volvers and knives. The terrified dudes
were ordered out of the snring and told TO
put on their shirts, Shoes and trousers, and
make a break for the mountains
Really, We know we cawn't do it," said
one of them, sweating with terror; Mr.
'Atch will expect us back to dinner. Won't
he Cholly?"
True, you are" replied "Cholly,' We're
engaged to dine, We know | say, cawn't you
lust let us ave our weskits and our 'orses?
Mr.. 'Atch will pay you, We know. It's quite
too awful, left in these ills in a state of ma
ture MIR. 'Atch will ave to buy us some
underwear; and | say, Mr.. Highwayman,
cawn't You let us ave our revovers? Pm
told the bloody gophers are very fierce"
But the highway men" were obdurate,
and the three dudes were forced to leave
their horses, part of their clothing, their re-
volvers, and money ($2. 10 each), and ''hoof
it back 10 the hotel. When they arrived,
full of the un told perils of their adventures,
they were again para wed by finding their
horses tied in front of the hotel and the
plumber taken by the cowboys piled up on
the office counter. Uncle Rufus kindly eX
planned the situation, and Hobart went of
into a long, deep and solitary canon five
miles away to have laugh.

Viceroy, Chang Shuing, who has just ar
rived to take charge of Southern China

number of troops were massing on the
frontier of Tonquin, but none had been or
dered to cross the frontier, although many
deserted to the Black Flag every
day. He declared that China
would not sanction the Hue

Mutt trial was heard in court the first thing
this morning. Dr. A. P. BOwe was present,
and testified that Breckenridge was confined
to bed with typhoid fever, and would not
be able to testify this week. The court adj
mitted this as sufficient so far as Brecken-
ridge being able to be present was concerned,
and stated that the question was whether
the defense regarded his testimony as neces-
sary to their case, and were unwilling to let
the trial go on. The defense alleged that
Breckenridge was one of the chief witnesses.
and the petition was granted, the case being
continued to the December term. The grand
jury to day found true bill against James
