Inc Brotherhood of Crsatur.s.

Near the city farm in Lewiston, No, is . curious pet and stranger adoption. A philosopher finds in 1t proof of the brother hood of all creatures that live. A few weeks ago the family dog brought in a baby mink, its eyes hardly open-a helpless creature @ inoffensive that the dog would not harm 1t. At that time the family cat was in tho joys of recent maternity, and her family wAS still in darkness. The lktle girl of the house bethought herself to put the mink in with the kittens, and after few objections the cat accepted the addition to her family, and has slnce carefully tended, nursed and reared it. The kittens and the mink are ell wide awake now, and it is hard to tell which Is the happiest. The odd-lookiDg little ani. nal plays as gleefully ss the rest, rolling over the floor, capering, gamboling, jump ing, and in all respects enjoying life. It is not evident, either, that the cat has any less regard for it than for any of the kittens,

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-The winning of yesterdays game gave the New Yorks ten consecutive victories. The Pittsburgs were their oponents The visitors got just four little hits and earned their one run. They made it in the first Inning en singles by Sunday and Miller and Beckley's out at first.
 Young Staley pitched his first game against the Giants and fooled them to the top of his bent. They got four isolated hits, and would surely have been beaten but for Staley's generosity. In the sixth inning, after two men were out, Staley pitched like cross-eyed. He gave Tier nan and Connor bases on balls, and then allowed both men to score on three fear fully wild pitches. The contest was very tiresome. There was quite lot of fine fielding, but otherwise the contest was the personifcation of dullness. The score:

Almond Eyed Beauty.

SAN FRANCISCO, July War has broken
out In Chinatown again between two power
full factions Of highbinders. Al rich Old pawn
broker named All Sing Surf, belonging TO the
See Yup society, purchased a good looking
girl in Hong Kong recently and had her
shipped to San Francisco as hts daughter.
Sorae hard swearing had 10 be done TO get the
girl through the custom house, rs she was
only IA years old, and evidently q half breed.
Several highbinders belonging to the Cab Sin
Sur society Of professional robbers and per-
jurers, corroborated the pawnbroker's testi-
mony, and he was allowed to carry OIL his
prize to Chinatown. A rival highlander, a
head man In the Bo Sin Seer society, resolved
to abduct the girl, and Sunday night, accom-
panied by four armed cut-throats, he burst
into the pawnbroker's lodgings and carried
her away after knocking the old man on the
head so that he lay stunned for an hour.
When the pawnbroker recovered he appealed
to the Cab Sin Sur highbinders TO rescue the
girl, and melted by professional pride and d
reward of several hundred dollars, the high.
binders opened war on the k~idnappers. Few
erai hot skirmishes have occurred within tn,
last forty-eight hours, and hall a dozef
Cinnamon have been injured by Atchets an'
pistol shots. A detail of police have beer
cent 10 Chinatown to repress the heathcs
belligerents.

very profession in which my father won fame
and a competence. Actors, playwrights and
B%ohemians In general were an abominatiOn &c

suicide. He lately became addicted 10 the

PHILADELPHIA. Pa, July Con- May II
last John X. Miles, a dapper young man o.

the Shoe and Leather Reporter, forged his

taking with him Miss Corson, the beautiful
daughter Of Stillwell +. Corson, the well
known insurance man, Of $50 Walnut street,
Philadelphia.
Miss Corson was only Il years OF age, ana
had not made ner debut when she met Miles
and fell in love with him on sight. In a few
days Miles proposed marriage. She knew Il
was useless to ask her fathers consent, so an
elopement was decided upon. Then came the
rub. Miles WAS without funds, but did not
care to reveal the state Of his finances, so he
decided to raise the needful by means OF a
forged check, which was successfully carried
out, and after that nothing was heard OF the
runaways, although Corson exhausted every
means in his power to discover their where
abouts. On opening his mail this morning,
Mr.. Corson WAS surprised 70 receive 8 letter
from Miles, dated at Liverpool, in which he
said that he and Miss Corson had gone direct
to Jersey City after leaving Philadelphia anG
were married by a clergyman there. After
the ceremony they took a steamer FOR En-
gland and had since been having a merry
time on the continent. He said that he had
made a successful settlement with as mother
on account Of tie forged check, ahd should
like to be assured Of Mr.. Corson's forgive
ness, as be inteu3cd taking the steamer for
