tender care he exhibited for poor, little
half.starved mouse that wandered into his

brutal thing that he should have been

A Connections HosteIry which
sheltered Lafayette and washing.

tuns
Hyde Tavern, of Revolutionary
fame, one OF the most ancient and ia
nous resorts in New York, was de-
stroyed by fire yesterday morning. II
was situated about five miles north Of
this city on the old post road 10 Hart
ford, the road over which Lafayette
and his army passed, and in the old
hostelry they dined during the revolu-
tionary war. 1t was typical old-fash-
ioned New England tavern, of which
there are now but few in existence.
There was large green in front Of it,
while big elms, some nearly 100 feet
in hight, entirely surrounded it. The
inn was a struggling, one-story struc-
ture, with a low roof and great caves
protruding and covering the veranda,
which extended the whole length OF
the house. When the place was first
built it was painted red, but it had
lately been changed to white, with
green blinds. The windows were
small, and there were many panes OF
glass in each OF them. A big barn
stood back Of the place, and wagon
sheds were plentiful.
Washington and his officers. who
visited the place shortly after the revo-
luton, ate and drank and danced there,
while celebrities innumerable have sat
at the little oaken tables and slipped
their ale and cracked their jokes. The
bar was in the dance hall, long mar
row room, its floor worn in hollows by |
the feet Of many generations of
dancers.
The tavern gained its name and its |
local notoriety from Jim Hyde, who |
Was well known all over Eastern Con- |
necticut as the model landlord about |
thirty years ago. At that time and
for a quarter of century afterward it
was filled TO overfiowing nightly and
prevailed. Old Deacon Bowen
took the place and ran it for few
years. He was followed by his
nephew, Henry Bowen, who sold out
a year ago to Hen Smith.
One OF the features Of the place was
its cider flips, and people came from
far and wide TO tickle their palates
with them. An iron rod about two
feet long was put into fire until it
reached a red heat, it was then put
into a glass OF cider, and the bever-
age was drank simmering and sizzing.
Every one connected with the ancient
tavern was an adept at making fiips,
and they were the card OF the house
up to the time it was destroyed.-New
York World.

The general impression is that the
good in California lies in her gold and
silver. Here, however, is an enthu-
siastic California editor in rhapsodies
over many things besides gold-honey,
hops, petroleum, fish, vegetables,
wool, brandy, wine, barley, wheat and
fruits. According to his figures. which
We give with reserve, the annual yield
to California from these sources is
ninety-one million nine hundred thou
sand dollars. The mines give gold
and silver only TO the amount Of
twenty-one million dollars.
The people of California have
learned the lesson that gold is not
alone found in mines-that, in fact, it
may be found anywhere, ii we only
dig for it.-New York Herald.

A BRAeaART's sLOkY GONE.
Courage and Enduring Pluck Make
Heroes.

1t is amusing to read the comments
Of the Eastern papers on the result of
the late prize fight. The annexed,
from the Chicago Mail, is a sample:
"By the way, upon what was Sulli-
vans reputation as a great fighter
based? When did he ever fight a
clean battle with well man?
His first public exploit was to
knock out redoubtable braggart by
the name OF Ryan, who was even then
no more fit to stand up in prize ring
than sick chicken. Ryan was hope
lessly crippled and should have gone
into the ring on crutches.
"Since the New Orleans fiasco Sui
livan has been striding through the
country terrifying the slugging fra
ternity by displays of his herculean
form and brute strength. His reign
Of terrorism has been unbroken for
five years.
Mitchell was really the first well
man of genuine prowess who ever
met him in the fistic arena. Tie them
together with short rope and Sulli-
van could pound Mitchell to death.
Tie Sullivan and mule together and
the mule would probably VIM yet the
mule would not be considered cham
pion fighter.
Something besides brute strength
and mere physical endurance is nee
essary to make a fighter. 1t is that
glorious quality, courage, enduring
pluck, that makes heroes OF men and
inspires them TO valorous perform
ance. Sullivan is as destitute OF true
courage as a mule, He is q great,
obstinate, burly brute, and that is all
"a pugilistic prodigy, if you will-but
no fighter. His Bullying days are
over.
"Now that the lions skin has been
stripped away everybody will feel q
justifable pleasure in taking kick al
the jackass. And it's right and proper
that the noisy brute should be roughly
handled. BY accident of mere birtl
Sullivan is called an American, ant
more's the pity. He is in no sense {
representative OF American grit o
science. America is ashamed o

A Touching story Of Trapeze
Rider and His Little Child.

Touching btOry OF q TrhpeSe
Rider and His Little Child.
Papa, take me-"
The father bent and took the child
in his arms-his little daughter that
was motherless and looking up at the
big consequential fellow standing
near, he said: "Say. boss, let me off
just for this time? See! she is dying"
"0ur conditions are absolute" an
swered the man, sternly. Your rid
ing is one of the most attractive fea-
lures, and business is business; you
will report for duty in ten minutes"
The trapeze-rider turned his head
humbly away, and big tear fell upon
the tiny, upturned face and the little
dress He laid her gently down and
looked at her moment, then turned
away and started for his dressing
room.
"Papa, take me-"
He flew back to the couch, caught
up the little dropping form and
strained it to his breast; then placing
her tenderly back upon the pillow he
pressed the wee white fingers to his
lips and rushed out Of the room.
Up, up, higher and higher. Never
before had the trapeze-rider 80 dis
dnguished himself. People said his
ieats were marvellous to-day, and shout
alter shout Of applause rent the air as
thousand eyes watched the intricate
windings of the intrepid performer.
But the big drum sounded in his
ears like some huge incarcerated mon
ster beating at the bars OF its prison
intent on freedom the music Of the
band seemed afar off and like a con-
glomeration of faint discords; the air
was faint and misty, and the thou
sand OF heads crowded around the
circus ring like so many wooden balls
mixed together, large and small ;
while all the time little loved voice
was pleading, Papa, take me-"
But his face wore its brightest smile
as always, and his graceful acknowl,
edgement Of each ring of applause
seemed never so gallantly rendered.
AT last, 1t was over. The final and
most difficult had been successfully
accomplished, and he descended and
ran gracefully ont of the ring-not for
getting to wave farewell to the adj
miring multitude.
AT the exit door stood the manger, 9
smile OF approval upon his face
Well DONE" he said, "we could
never have dispensed with that, and
besides "a pause" she will be al
right Tomorrow"
But tho tranaza-ridar only howed
and passed on. At the door OF hel
room he paused; the nurse came tC
him. How is she?" he gasped.
She looked away, and answered
" She is dead. Omaha Republican

AnImpudsn, Doctor.

Doctor" said the patient, al be-
lieve there is something wrong with
my stomach" "Not a bit of it," re-
piled the doctor promptly. "God
made your stomach, and He knows
how to make them. There is some
thing wrong with the stuff You put
into it, maybe, and something wrong
in the way you stuff it in and tamp it
down, but your stomach is all right. F"
