A large gray eagle was captured on
the farm of Peter Quinn, in Butler
township, Scott county, la. The cap
ture was made by Mr.. Quinn's son,
Joseph. In the morning the eagle
made its appearance in the neighbor.
hood and in the afternoon was seen to
alight on Mr.. Quinn's farm. Arrange.
ments were then made for its capture.
Mr.. Quinn's o got o wolf trap and
set it on a hill, and fastened a live
chicken near enough 10 il SO that il
the eagle made an effort to get the
chicken away it would spring the trap.
And this n did-sprang the trap twice
without being caught. But it was de-
termined TO get the chicken.
The trap was set the third time and
matters more carefully arranged for
its capture. II Was some little time
before the bird made an effort TO get
its prey. Mr.. Quinn's son stood off in
the distance and watched. The eagle
flew over the trap once moro and dart
ed down 10 embrace the chicken in its
claws. II fluttered over the trap a
moment, there was snap and chicken
and eagle were Tapping their wings
together. The eagle was caught this
time. Mr.. Quinn's son ran at once 10
the trap TO embrace the captive. II
made a bold fight but could not get
away. The trap held it by one toe.
Mr.. Quinn now has it Gagged. The
bird measures six feet four inches from
tip to tip. II was the first eagle ever
seen in that connty.-Cor. st. Louis

Rounding Cures.

People talk about curves aud twists
in railroad tracks in mountainous
country, where bridges and cuts add
10 their fears, but il is all nonsense. A
curve on such a road is no worse than
a curve in a level country. | was

other, out Of a seat. on the Santa Fe q
few years ago on level track. You
hear a great many stories about sud,
denly finding yourself in another seat,
but this is one Of the few actual oc'
currences. II was on a sharp curve,
and the engineer vas careless, that
was all. A curve. in fact. is never
felt when a good engineer is at the
throttle. This is something that but
few people know. If an engineer. on
approaching a curve. puts on the air
and pulls "a tram up taut, the cars 20

left loose and strung out that their

A newsboy took the Sixth avenue

seats fell asleep. At Grand street two
young women got on and took the
seats opposite the lad. His feet were
bare and his hat had fallen off. Pres

placed her muff under the little fell
lows dirty cheek. An old gentleman
in the next seat smiled at the act and
without saying anything held out a
quarter with a nod towards tho boy.
The girl hesitated a moment and then
reached for il. The next man Just as
silently offered a dime. a woman
across the aisle held out some pennies,
and before she knew il the girl with
flaming cheeks had taken money from

She quietly slid the amount into the

headers OF The Marble Faun" will
remember the studio OF the american
sculptor Kenyon" in Rome. and two
pieces Of statuary therein favored with
especial notice by Hawthorne. The
sculptor Kenyon" was Paul Akers
We know this because Akers occupied
at that time the studio which had been

which Kenyon" wrought because

cut rs If already marble, an ideal
forehead, deeply set eyes and mouth

in the preface 10 the Marble Faun"
Hawthorne says that the American
artist OF his romance is none other
than Names gifted sculptor. In that
studio there were two pieces Of Akers
work that strongly attracted Haw-
thorne. One was the marble bust Of
Milton. which Is now in the library al
Colby university; the other was the
Dead Pearl Diver" of which the
miriam" of the Marble Faun" says
in words that embody the criticism of
Hawthorne himself: Il like this
statue: though il is too cold and stern
in It's moral lesson, and physically. the
form has not settled itself into sufli-
cient repose."
''The Pearl Diver" was modelled ia
Italy in 1857, and cut in marble the
next year. Akers died in 1861, when
only IS years Of age, leaving accom-
plished a great work, which seems
small, however, beside the lavish
promises Of his genius. The Dead
Pearl Diver" was carried TO New York
by Akers. and there became one Of the
chief attractions of the exhibition at
the Dusseldorf gallery. When that
exhibition was broken up the Pearl
Diver with other fine spoils Of the
collection, vas taken to the Academy
OF Fine Arts in Buffalo, N. Y.
The academy could not afford 10 buy
II, but II was allowed 10 remain there,
where Il vas admired by all who saw
IL Governor Israel Washburn was
very anxious TO have il purchased and
brought TO Maine, but gave up the
undertaking because there was no so
ciety with facilities for caring for Il.
When the Society Of Art was formed
in Portland, however, Mrs. Elizabeth
Akers Allen thought the time suitable
for having the statue placed in the
city, which. before all other cities,
should remember the work of Paul
Aken.
The real value Of the statue, as the
sculptor would compute il, was some
thing like t10,0 600. Mrs. Allen, how
ever, was willing that IL should 90 TO
Portland for a price a. low as would
be proper for such o work Of art SO
she fixed the price at u, 900, and then
offered 10 contribute herself q, 200 To-
ward the sum needed. The offer was
promptly made known 10 prominent
citizens Of Portland, who responded
readily aud literally with the funds
needed 10 complete the sum Of IS, 900.
The money has been paid over and the
statue has arrived al Portland.

MULE VERSUS ELECTRICITY.

Just in that number of degrees that
electricity is considered greater than a
mule does the man who holds the break on
the electric motor line consider himself
better than the man who whacks the mules
on the Main street horse car line, preSuma-
bly, That is the way we have been sizing
it up at the corner of of Elm and Main,
where these two forces and powers have
been threatening to come together for a
month past. 1t has only been question
of time all the while and the time arrived
yesterday. The electric motor got the
worst of it, as it should. The
other fellow was not only there
first but his track and right of
way was there first. Besides. the electric
business, being run at a greater speed,
should check up, and it being much more
easily and quickly controlled, they ought
to slack up at that crossing. 1t don't tire
electricity to start up like it tires mule.
We believe in the collision yesterday no
one was hurt. The electric motor ran
square into Main street cars broadside,
which of itself showed that the boss car
was the nearest the crossing. The motor
was disabled, but the Main street car was
damaged but little. If the street car COM
panies can't agree on rule, then the city
council should regulate by ordinance be-
fore somebody is killed.

settled back 1--WE didn't have money
enough among US to buy glass of beer,
and, of course, something had TO be done.
We tramped out into the country for a
couple of miles, begged dinner at farm
house and then called a council in fence
corner to plan for the future. That night,
after the people of the farm house were in
bed, we broke into the barn. Ii had been
decided to steal horse and buggy, make a
long drive, and dispose of the rig for ready
cash.
well, when we got into the barn we
found a top buggy, fitted with shafts for
one horse, and two-seated buggy with
a pole for two horses Instead Of going of
with one horse, as had been agreed upon,
we decided to take two. This changed the
rigs and gave us more work TO harness and
~
horses made fast, when it occurred to us
that we might as well take along the single
harness which was hanging on a peg. IL
was brought out and placed in the buggy,
and then one Of my partners suggested that
we bring along the third horse He would
follow behind the buggy without bother,
and so long as we were in the horse busi-
ness it was better to have three than two.

for the other horse. He turned oct TO be q

BEING HOUNDED.

Mr.. Perry johnson is a young man, who
is pursuing his business as chimney-sweep
in this city and is getting lots OF SCOT, etc,
out of Wichita chimneys. He Is not
kicking about his business here, but last
night, came up to the EAGLE office and
SAID in very genteel way, that he was
getting very, very tired of the manner in
which a party whom he characterized as
Jim Crow" detective. is following aim
about the city. telling Mr.. john
sons customers, that johnson is
the party, of whom, he shows
a photograph, and for whom reward of
81 900 is offered. Mr.. Jim Crow" also
INDUCES in personalities and says that the
other party, who wears himself out rub
bing off the SCOT from the iDsides of tall
chimnies. is not married to his own wife. In
contradiction of this assertion the gentle
man whose character is assailed produced
for the inspection Of the EAGLES
matrimonial editor, who gave 1t
thorough inspection through his
gold trimmed spectacles, and found 1t 10 be
genuine a marriage certificate dated at
Omaha, Neb., Jnne %, 1883, showing that
Mr. Perry johnson and the lady who IS
now Mrs Perry Johnson, became man
and wife according to the law at the time
and place above named.
Mr.. johnson concluded by saying that
he was here attending strictly to business
OF making an honest living and can be
found at the a. d. I. Office, but that he
does not intend TO be run out OF town, by
the gentleman alluded to Mr.. j. c. Detec-
tive and he suggests that if there is SO
much money in persons capturing him,
that he is very docile and the other party
can easily earn s. 900 by simply calling for
him aud establishing the truth OF his
assertions.
