the suppressed excitement that no one in the
village slept an hour.
Soon after daylight couple of natives
went on a scout, and in the course of half an
hour they came running back with the news
that tho man eater was safe in the pen. He
had killed the dog and torn the dead body i'm
pieces, and was reported in furious rage.
After breakfast the cage was carried up, and
we had little difficulty in transferring the
beast When we came to get good look at
him everybody was amazed. He was the
longest, heaviest and tallest tiger any one of
US bad ever seen, and this was also the YER
dict of all others who got peep at him He
was in his prime, with teeth and claws at
their best, and more ferocious disposition
no beast ever had. He fatally clawed two
natives on the way down the river, and
killed sailor while on the voyage TO Amster-
dam. he was sold to an English Snowman
at big price, but resold 10 the Royal
museum Of Russia on account Of his savage
disposition and untamable nature. When a
portion of the buildings burned about flve

been appropriately named, persisted in the

Waste of Ammunition.

In the new school of the soldier, called for
because of the adoption of the magazine rife,
a principal difficulty, and one not yet met, is
the prevention of reckless and wasteful ex-
travagance in ammunition. A decided in
clination has been observed among old as
well as young soldiers to be less saving than
formerly. The German or French soldier, if
he likes may fire say twenty rounds in a
minute, and the reduction of the size and
weight of the bullet and powder enables him
to carry half again as many cartridges as
before. In times of excitement, should he
lose his head, that is to say, his wits, he
might empty his cartouche box and also his
bandolier at short notice, so short, indeed,
that when the enemy should really come up,
and quick firing would be of vital moment,
he would be practically powerless.
A famous American revolutionary general
commanded his men to wait till you see the
whites of their eyes," referring to the enemy,
and thus he made sure there would not be

NEW YORK, May 4.-R. J. Dun 81

1t makes all the difference whether

full of prophets who see sure indica-
lions of ia Vorable or unfavOrable. and
the prevailing impression regarding
the future is decidedly hopeful. but
the facts as they stand, disclose an I'M

result has been little advance in

bonds. But it is still uncertain wheth-
er the secretary will be able much
longer to get enough bonds to prevent
the accumulation of money.
The prospect of a reduction of the
revenue does not increase in the in
terror towns, and money is generally
in ample supply for existing de-
mandS.
The reports of trade from interior
points are not enthusiastic, and mac
lively quiet is the prevailing feature,
with more frequent complaints of
slow collections.
The clearings of the banks outside of
New York continue to slightly exceed
those of last year, but less than the
difference in prices which implies the
transfer of slightly smaller quantity
of produce.

going to the kitchen, found two masked

seized Mrs. Mohr, and putting revolver
to her head, demanded the money. She
at first protested that she had drawn
none, but as the robbers would not be
put off gave them $500. saying it was
all she had. They demanded the rest
of the money, at the same time telling
her that they knew how much she had
drawn from the bank, and must haveit
all. She then gave them the balance,
and after binding her the thieves left.

could not. Letters of regret were re-

Mr.. Griffin was applauded in his re-
marks. which he confined wholly to the
question of getting help from those
who have heretofore had nothing to do
with the liquor question.
Senator John Sherman in his letter of
regret said: 81 certainly would sup
port all reasonable measures tending
to restrain the evils that flow confess

MINNEAPoLIs, May 4.-The North
western Miller's crop review is as fol-
lows:
April closed under nearly the same
conditions that the month opened
with, save this improvement, that in
many portions of the winter wheat
belt rains fell while chinch bugs de-
veloped in nearly every state in the
winter wheat belt and more Particular
ly, however, in Southern Illinois and
Kansas they have been held back from
doing any damage except locally by
the cold weather which has been the
prevailing features of April. Look
ing at the situation as a whole in area
north of the Ohio river and west to
the Mississippi, probably at no time
in the history of this crop was the out
look in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana and
Illinois as poor as it is to-day. Re-
ports from millers and elevator men
along the lines of the Northern Pacific
and the Manitoba roads as far north as
Grand Forks show that the ground is
in excellent condition and seeding has
been progressing satisfactorily up to
the first of May.
