LUCKIER THAN ODLUM.
A Woman's Leap of Two Hundred and
FOrty-fye Feet.

FOrty-fVe Feet.
The Bristol England Times and Mir
ror of May 9has the following: "a wo-
man leaped from the Clifton suspension
bridge yesterday afternoon, but, strange
TO say, did not meet with her death. The
occurrence took place at about 1890
o'clock, at which hour she was seen by
several persons to fall from the bridge to
the mud on the Clifton side Of the river,
near the water, which was then receding
and was about halt tide. John Williams,
Of AshtOu-gate, and George Drew, who
were near, at once went to her aid,
brought her 10 the bank, and took
her into the refreshment room
at the Ayoumouth Railway booking office.
Extraordinary to relate, the woman was
alive and conscious. She was able to re-
ply to questions put to her, and stated
that her name was Sarah Ann Henley.
that her age was -. and that she lived at

medical staff and then transferred 20 one

The probability is that she Will succumb,
but there is a possibility that she may re-

of the woman committing the act was a
disagreement with her sweetheart. The

The number Of snakes kept in
creasing to such an extent that
the young men in their terror main
tam that they must have encountered $50
or 700 snakes of the rattle snake and black
snake variety. Finally it was noticed
mat the snakes were fighting among
themselves, and on inspection it was seen
mat the blacksuakes we're attacking the
rattlers, and vice versa, both being
warmed up 70 their work by the beating
they had received from the young men.
Although black snakes and rattlers min

winter months, YET on the approach OF
spring they separate after deadly COM
bat, wherein the black snakes are some
times victorious and the rattlers on other
occasions. A spitz dog which followed
the young men was an object of especial
hatred, and was soon covered bv the rep
tiles, which wound themselves about his
body and bit him % such an eX-

Amputation of the Leg.

Money is the universal necessity, and none
but cynic or a fool Will affect to despise II.
Mr.. Abram Ellsworth, OF Port Even, Ulster
county, n. Y, had realized this truth. His
disease involved the whole Of his thigh bone,
and the suffering man looked forward, not
without apparent reason, to death as his only
delverer. The family physicians refused to
amputate the limb, asserting that the opera
ton would kill the patient on the spot. DR..
DaUid KENNEDY, of Rond0ut, n. T.. who
was consulted, held a different opinion and
amputated the limb. The Doctor then adj
mnistered freely his great Blood Specific
FAVORITE REMEDY to afford tone and
strength to the system and prevent the return
OF the disease, and Mr.. Ellsworth remains 10
this day in the bloom OF health. This gentle
mans disease was the offspring OF foul blood.

ono, do not think whipping too So
we're for a man who bru.ally treats an ami
NAL. God gave the animal feeling and
the man reason. If he abuses his powers
he should be made to suffer. Of course,
/ refer to extreme cases of cruelty. We
have had very few such cases of late.
Our greatest trouble is with some of the
surface horse-car lines. They put on
their worst stock after midnight, thinking
that we are asleep. We often surprise
them at one or two o'clock in the morn
ing by taking out the halfodsad horse and
causing a blockade Of cars. They soon
send good horses. Then we have great
deal of trouble with cats and dogs, es-
pecially at this season. People going out
of the city for few weeks lock their cats
in the houses, leaving them 10 food or
water. They think the cats can catch
enough rats, and they naturally want the
rats weeded out by their return. In
few days the cats begin caterwauling, and
We get the key of this house from the
agent and liberate the imprisoned felines.
"The other day one attempted to get
out of a tenement house while the family
had gone to Coney Island to give the cat
a chance to clean the house of rats. The
cat jumped twenty-five feet on the roof Of
another house, and then rolled down into
the water-gutter and was caught. Eleven
days afterwards the cat 3as accidentally
seen, and report was made to this Office.
We spliced two ladders, sent man up to
rescue the Cat, after it had lived eleven
days without eating. Dogs are also
locked up by families going out of the
city for few days. The dog naturally
feels lonesome and begins to howl, and
the snnoyed neighbors come to US. 1t
seems that people will never learn the
folly of locking up cats and dogs during
their absence. It is not only cruelty to
the animals, but to the neighborhoOd,"
concluded the pioneer humanitarian.

"There is a marked decrease in the
number of cases of cruelty to animals"
said Mr.. Henry Bergh to q reporter.
''Drivers seem to be getting more merciful
to their beasts; they understand that
horses are property, and that it is to their
interest not to maltreat them. Then,
again, these burly, cruel fellows have
learned that they cannot thump a horse
with bar of iron without danger and
almost certainty of arrest. 1 must say
that fear has great deal to do with the
increased kind treatment animals are re-
ceiving. am sorry 1 cannot contribute
the cause entirely to better motive. In
curbing the cruel passions of man to-
ward the animal, it naturally makes him
better toward his family and more hui

moral education or training.

brutal dog-fghting were common in this
city. have stopped all of that inhuman-
ity, and the only place where they make
any pretense to carry it on is at Hunters
Point, and even there, among the roughs
and refuse of this city's scum, we go and
stop them. Such men, with brutal pas
sions and blunted intellects, can only be
taught humanity by fear. They are of the
class who whip their wives, and for such
men we would recommend the whipping
post. True, it is a very severe remedy;
but if they refrained from whipping their
wives they would not get whipped. The
whipping-post would not be used as often
as one would suppose, but it would serve
as a threat, and there would not be SO
much wife beating.
"No, it would not break the mans
pride or degrade him. He is already de-
graded and has no pride when he beats
his wife. This would whip pride and
spirit into him, and make better man

that it at once takes the brutal element
