How She Received the News Of Her Com
nutation-Brierly Coming to America.

LIVERPOOL, August 23.-The official
messenger bearing the announcement OF
the Communication of Mrs. Maybrick's SEN
tence did not reach the Jail until 2
o'clock this morning. The news was at
once communicated to the prisoner, who
betrayed some emotion, but not to the
extent that was anticipated. The chap
lain visited her at breakfast time. a re-
vulsion of feeling had then prostrated
her, and she seemed weaker than at any
time since her arrest. 1t is feared that
she will not live long. Briefly, her al
legged paramour, sailed for Boston on the
steamer Scythia which left Liverpool

SOME CLEVER BIRDS.
How They Displayed Their Intelligence
and Parental Love.

One morning when my little sister
was walking with mamma. she found
Il young lettuce-bird in the path. 1t
had evidently fallen from the nest, but
they could not see where it was, and
fearing the bird would be killed if it
we're left in the road, mamma told
Bessie she might bring it home, and,
as it was q seed-eating bird, they
hoped to be able to raise it in the cage
with the canary bird. She carried the
little thing home and put it in the
canary's cage, which hung in the shady
front porch.
In little while we heard a commo-
ton among the birds, and, hurrying
into the porch, we saw a apretty sight.
Two fuil-grown lettuce-birds, eyi-
IDENTIFY the parents of the one in the
cage, were Huttering about the bars
with some food for their baby. He
was standing on the perch, and seemed
afraid to try to fly down; SO the canary
flew down, took the seeds from the old
birds, and carried them to the little
one. They did this several times.
The next day Bessie met a small boy
who had another yellow bird about
the size of the one she had found the
day before, apparently one of the
same brood. She bought 1t from him
for five cents, and carried the fright
ened birding tenderly homo and put
it with the Gagged birds. After that
for two days the parent birds came at
daylight and flew in and out until dark,
feeding the two young ones. II
On the third day the male bird came
alone, and we feared the little mother
had been killed. After about week.
however, she came again, bringing
with her third bird about the size OF
our two pets. 1t seemed clear that
after trying to care for the divided
family together, the intelligent birds
had agreed that the father should take
care Of the Gagged birds, while the
mother tended the lonely birding in
tho nest until it was able to fly, when
she brought it to visit its brother and
sister. They were I'LL by this time old
enough to fly, so, although we grieved
10 part from our little friends, we de-
termined TO reward the wise and loving
parents by giving their children the
freedom all birds love SO well. We
opened the cage door and after few
timid twitters and Autters, the young
birds flew out and the reunited
family flew away in the sweet summer
air. AS for the canary, virtue had to
be its own reward, but it seemed to
satisfy him, for he followed his depart
ing guests with beautiful burst of
song. Swiss Cross.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 2S.-Sever-
al vicious blows by Dempsey were
the only features of the 9th round
and in the following rounds Marine
did little but stand up we'll under the
fierce smuggling he received iu9the
neck. In the 30th round however he
gave Dempsey terrific right handler
on the chest which seemed to stagger
the latter, but he recovered and show
cred half dozen blows on Marines
head. The 3lst round was exceeding
ly tame, but when the men came up
for the 32d Dempsey attempted to
force matters. He forced Lablanche
in to a corner and pounded him unmer-
cifully. Lablanche however, whirled
around suddenly and caught Dempsey
terrific blow on the jaw and the
Nonpareil went down like a shot.
Ten seconds went by amid intense
excitement. Dempsey struggled
bravely to rise, but before he reached
his feet, weak and staggering, the
time had expired and the referee
awarded the fight to Lablanche. The
sudden termination of the fight was a
surprise to every man in the club
room,

Unquenchable Forest Fires.

HELENA, Mont, August 2S.-The
Colorado Gulch, which extends into
Helena and which is heavily tim
bered, is on fire II miles from here
and the flames are progressing in this
direction. The fire started about
noon yesterday. In the gulch were a
number of saw mills. These were
quickly wiped out, as well as the
homes and several ranches. Ten
men started to fell the timber
with the hope of arresting the
fire. They were soon surrounded
by the flames and barely escaped
with their lives, all of them having
hair singed and clothing so burned
that it fell off them. At 6 o'clock last
night the wind shifted and carried
the flames eastward to Colorado
Gulch, which goes half around Hell
ena, starting at Broadwater's hotel
and ending at Chinatown. The fire is
travelling towards Chinatown, swept
by the wind and should the wind not
change by noon today, it will have
reached the city. The air is full of Gin
ders and the heavens south and east OF
the city present a lurid appearance.
