oARRIER PIGEONS.
Three Philadelphia Birds Liberated
AI Key MnnI.


Three homing pigeons, owned in
Philadelphia, were liberated in KEY
West Tuesday morning week. This ven
ture and similar ones that are to fol
low are intended as tests of the capability
of good birds and of the tendency of the
different types. One question to be
answered was Will the birds leave the
island of Key West for the main land ? 1t
was thought not, but Sergeant Boyer, TO
whom they were consigned, was asked to
look out for this. 1t was not considered
difficult thing to do. since, if the
birds did not leave Key West they would
return either TO the point from which
they started or to the place upon which
they first alighted after leaving the
basket. As a matter of fact the three
birds remained together in the city of
Key West until the afternoon, when
Whitehead, owned by j. X. Hayes, went
away. He has not yet been heard of.
This bird had down from Charlotte, N.
c., 448 miles, already this year Last
year ii won the thirteenth prize in 500
mile journey.
A fourth bird, China Bill, also owned
in Philadelphia, was to have been iber-
ated alone on Wednesday.
The steamer of last Saturday carried
away seven other birds to be liberated in
Key West. One of these, Beall Blue,
owned by E. II. Conover, made the
journey lately from Atlanta, Ga, 725
miles. This bird is to be started day
before the others. The six are owned in
Bridgeport, Conn, by Mr.. G. A. Ii.
Bright, and have made but one previous
journey, from Bordentown, N. j., 100
miles.
There is said to be no cruelty in these
tests, inasmuch as the birds are excellent
foragers and the conditions are go-as-you-
please. A bird always returns from q
long journey in good condition.

READING, Mich, July Mrs. Lucinda
Fastet of Woodbridge township, while on
her way 10 the Fourth of July celebration
here last Saturday, fell unconscious from
her seat in the carriage and wasgto all in
dications dead. Medical assistance
was called, but all efforts TO restore her
proved futile, and she was given up, al.
though not having every appearance of
being dead. The body was laid ont and
taken back home for burial. Arriving
there ice was procured in which to pack
the remains, and they were SO packed for
more than 80 minutes, when an old physi-
clan, DIR. Neclich, called on the bereaved
family. He was 80 struck with the lifelike
look of the "corpse" that he expressed
doubts Of her death. The body wns
quickly taken from the ice and the doctor
went to work to establish the fact OF her
living. He opened vein in Mrs. Faste's
arm this morning and the blood flowed
freely. In short time the lungs began
to work, and the funeral preparations
were abandoned. The patient now lies
apparently asleep. Her house is filed
with curious neighbors, and the local
physicians are much puzzled over the
case. IL is said by the neighbors that
Mrs. Tastes mother once had n similar
experience; that she lay in trance for
many days, and when she came to evinced
a full knowledge of everything which
had gone on around her.

DEAD AGAIN..
Cora Pearl Positively EcpOrted
Head ThIs Time,

PARIS, July Cora Pearl died here last
night of cancer. She was In dire poverty.
and was attended during her illness by an
official Of the Bureau for the Medical Relief
Of the Poor.
II Is now many years since Cora Pearl
took Paris by storm. She appeared one
morning IN the Champs Elysees, mounted on
n fiery horse, with her long, red hair hang
ing down her back and glistening In the
sunlight. She had voluptuous figure and
managed her horse with admirable skill.
She became the rage, and young men of
fashion lavshed their gold on her and were
ruined with rapidity. Her career was re-
mHrkable and She was the heroine of not
Il few tragedies. So long rs the money OF
her admirers lasted everything was smooth,
but when they came to the end OF their
tether they received a rude dismissal
Some Of them, after being cast of, ended
their sorrows In the Seine.
In her palmy days Cora lived In beauti-
fnl yllla on the Loires, near Orleans, given
to her by baron. The villa bore the
name Of Beausejour, and for many years
Cora aud her successive victims dwelt thore
In licenttOus splendor. In her decline she
got young purvenu, son OF the founder of
Bouillons-Duval, TO spend 1000, ,0O0f. on
her. When he thus got through his fortune
he appealed to her tenderness for small
loan, which she dryly refused. He called
so soften her, tried to blow his brains out
In doing this he wounded himself severely.
Cora, on seeing him fall and the blood
streaming from his wound, cried out, "You
low, coarse fellow; do you take my house
for your fathers butchery? Don't you see
that you have tllthied my now carpe ?"
Among nor admirers was an imperial
prince, who encouraged her in herdesfre to
appear on the stage as Cupid" in part In
which there was good deal to say. Her
vaultlng ambition on this occasion over
leaped itself. The footlights nre cruel to re-
veal vulgarity and plastic defects. An Eng
lish accent is uncomfortable In French role
played In q Paris theatre. So the siren was
damned, and her imperial admirer took her
on tour round Europe, beginning at Bris-
off as his lllustrious wife, who was reputed
to have reddish hair. She even went to
hunt as the princess in question, and won
the admiration Of the field.
Not long ago she published her memoirs,
giving rather interesting details of her ex.
periences. She claimed to be the daughter
Of Professor Crouch, author OF "Kathleen
Mavourneen," aud As tho professor has
never authorltativeiy denied il, II was prob.
ably the truth. It Is certain that Crouch
married Cora's mother, Lydia Pearson,
whose history was not unlike that Of
Cora herself. The memoirs on which
Corn Pearl depended for ready cash fell Nat,
aud as Cora had always been remarkable
for her extravaganza she became poor as
her admirers fell OF. Her last years have
been passed in misery. Deserted by all OF
nor former assoclntcs and universally de-
spiSed she has existed on charity md her
end was as remarkable for its squalor as
her rise Wns for its splendor.

GONE 10 BRAzIL.
Tbe Whereabouts of Ihe Canal
1fOnd Thieves.

From Investigations made by a member
oi the city detective force, Chinf Reilly has
come TO the conclusion that Wilson and
LESLEY, the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal
bond nbezzlers are now In Braz /, having
select II that country ns their place OF
refngf from the fact of there being no extra
iiiion treaty between 1t and the United
States. An employe OF the Northern Brazil
Mail Steamship Company, Red Cross Line,
whose vessels ply between Now York and
Para, PernamDuco and other ports in
Northern Brazil, is confident that two
elderly men to whom he sold tickets for Para
on Wednesday, June Sd, and who sailed
In the steamship james Gordon Bennett on
Saturday week from New York, were Wilson
and Lesley.
His description of one Of the men tallied
with that OF Wilson, whose photograph he
recognized as closely resembling one OF the
Benefits passengers. Tho description Of
his companion, however, was not so COM
plete, as he represented him as having gray
hair, but otherwise his appearance was
identical with that Of Lesley. The discrep-
ancy In the color of the hair Is so easily
provided and accounted for by wearing a
wig that the Identification is considered by
Chief Kelly to he about as complete in one
case us In the other. Steps will be taken to
verify the fact Of their presence In Brazil
not In the hope of securing their return,
but for the purpose Of setting at rest All
question as to their Whereabouts

El.hth street Park ReinR Orna-
menIed with n Fountain.
The water department Friday began
the work of putting up o large orna-
mental fountain in Eighth street park.
The matter was first proposed by Coun-
Gilman Blake and was put into the hands
of Chief Engineer Bond, who ordered
the fountain from the design chosen by
the water commissioners from the j. l..
Mott iron-works, New York. The material
is all on the ground and will be put up
with as little delay as possible.
The fountain is of iron and will be 10
feet 10 inches high. At the bottom will
be basin IL feet inches in diameter
The fountain will be suImounted with the
figure of stork, from the interior of
which will rush the sparkling water,
spouting high in air. There will be three
basins above the one mentioned above,
decreasing in size from the bottom TO the
top of the fountain, and the water in its
descent will fall from one to the other. AT
the base of the fountain are the figures of
four storks, which will be engaged in the
refreshing work of spouting out four
separate streams of water.
The ornament will be located in the
centre of the park and will be supplied
with water from Rodney street basin,
from which pipes will have TO be laid for
the purpose. 1t will take some time to
make the connection.
