THE BLACK LEOPARD.


When Confined.
In the meuagerie in Central Park in
New York is a black leopard. Not q
light or brown hair appears upon his
silky skin. He is as black as a dress
of black silk. He is probably native
Of Southern Asia, and raro speci-
men, though black leopards arc not
uncommon thcro. Look him in the
face, and, cat-like, he shuts his greon
eyes and turns his head. Rather under
tho full sizo of the best of leopards,
lithe OF limb and powerful, this rare
beast of the jungle takes his prison
lilc with apparent contcntment. He
lies part of the time stretched out
upon tho bottom of his cage with his
eyes closed, but he Is so nearly awake
all tho time that g. soft touch of Il
stranger hand would rouse him to
anger. This leopard does not "change
his spots," yet he has somewhere,
probably, brother who is spotted
He seems to live happily with beau
tifully spotted leopard, little larger
than himself, with whom there ap-
pcars to be no IL temper OF family
quarrel.
'.Is he dangerousP"
Tho attendant replied: "Not at all
when he is safely confined. but let him
loose and there would be trouble at
every jump"
els he ever in q savage moodp"
'Oh, yes; thero are times when his
low, savage growl or purr-r is enough
to give ono q fair warming"
| "But he is tame, is he notP"
"Tamc! That creature never will
be tame. IIo is under suDjcction only
when he is in close confinement. Ono
leap into thu open air and his savage
nature would burst out His move
monts arc quicker than those of lion
and ho could cary off two-year-old
buck
"Is thero any othor black leopard
in th:s count"yP"
II believe not, and very few except
in Southern Asin. This ono is very
! black and u rare animal"
"Wondor if Sarah Bernhar5t would
like him for pet-she likes little
tigers"
Sarah Bernhardtl Every bone in
her body ho would, crush Us you would
crumble peanut in your tceth. This.
beautiful black bird is " pet only
when he is very safely confined. SEQ
how quietly he lies there now, but let
him loose upon that lawn and ho
would bo transferred into wild and
different animal in nm instant His
: Innate disposition is not of tho lowell
est sort His affection is for uncoolkcd
beef. You had better not put your
hand through the bars to stroke his
fur; with one stroke of his paw his
long, strong claws would tear tho
flesh from your bones. Cor. Cincin-

ADJUSTMENTS.
A Poor Relation.


 Sol Smith Russell in "A Poor Relation was greeted by large and appreciative audience last evening. The evening was warm, but the opera house was well ven tilated so that those present were made very comfortable. MT Russell was the same inimitable comedian, convulsing all by the quaint and original humor which is distinctively characteristic of his work. The piece, however, is weak and wholly unsuited to bring out his best points. Mir Russell's support was not remarkable, though MT Charles Kent, whose impersonation in Robson and Cranes Henrietta was one of the strongest features of the piece, did some clever work Tn the character of Jasper Sterrill. The other members of the cast were of the most ordinary capacity, and Louis Carpenters efforts to impersonate an English dude were painful to witness. His dialect was more nearly that of a minstrel end man. There were two ex- ceedingly clever children who shared much of the applause, which was very generous throughout the evening. Mir Russell was called before the curtain after the first act and made a little speech of appreciation whose quiet humor touched responsive chord in the audience and gained the chief applause of the evening.

TERBURY DEMOCRAT, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21 1sse
WORLD OF SPORTS.

Billy Taylor has bobbed up serenely once more; this time he is going the rounds of the cities in the Tri-State league.
 In yesterdays Indianapolis Chicago game McGeachy went to bat five times and made five hits, including home run and double.
 Tom O'Brien, first baseman of the de- funct Jersey Citys, now with the Roch- esters, had not played second base for several years, but he went right in for the latter club and is playing to the en- tire satisfaction of everybody.
 Pitcher Smith was signed again by Hartford yesterday morning after mak- ing proposition to the directors which was accepted. He is confident of the club winning the championship and says he will pitch the game of his life the rest of the season. A match race at 150 yards at Delor- anne, Canada, between T. Marshman, on foot, and a pony was won by the man be- cause about 25 yards from the winning post, when being left. he seized the that he managed to get in ahead. BOSTON vs NEW YORK. BOSTON, Aug. 21.-The defeat of the New York Giants yesterday was the most crushing Of the season, and every member of the team feels it keenly.
 The New Works were trounced With the greatest ease; in fact, the game was so one-sided as to be robbed of all inter- est except that taken in the slugging of the Bostons. Keefe started to pitch for New York, but at the end of the ] third inning, after the BOstOns had made six hits and four runs, he retired and Welch was called in.
 It made no differences; Boston still kept up its pounding, batting Welch harder than Keefe, ending up in the the ninth with four singles and a triple,
 There was no hope to win after the fourth inning. a fact SO apparent to some of the New Workers present that they quietly slipped away to some more congenial spot, where they could un. bend and give full sway to their pent-ur feelings.
 The ragged playing by several mem. bers of the team was a sure indication of the poor form of the men. They are not doing anything like what they are capable of. Whitney was the only New Yorker who gauged Radbourne The batting of Brouthers and Ganze. was terrific.
 The Giant players say they can't un derstand 1t, and attribute their defeat to hard luck. Manager Mutrie is highly chagrined. Of course there is genera jubilation in this city over the Bostons victory.

LYING UPON THE RAILS.
Frederick PoOle's Desperate Attemp
 to Commit Suicide

Frederick Poole's Desperate Attempt
 to Commit Suicide
 HARTFORD, August 21.-Frederick Poole, a carpenter, made two deliberate attempts to commit suicide last night. About Il o'clock Michael Hickey, an en- ploye of the Consolidated road, while walking along the track saw Poole rush up and throw himself across the rails in front of an approaching train. He was dragged from the track and held back with difficulty. Shortly after another train passed and this time he broke from his captors and placed his head on the rails. The gate tender and his assistants held him safely till the patrol wagon which had been summoned arrived, when Poole was taken to the police station and locked up. Poole was not drunk at the time, but seemed very de- spondent. He would tell nothing about his troubles. On his person was found a coil of stout rope, which, it is supposed, he had procured to hang himself with. He is an Englishman, B years old and married. He is believed to be insane.

EXPLOSION IN PIITSBURG.

One Man Fatally Injured and Three
 Others Missing-The Loss will
 Reach $25O,OOO.
 PITTsBURG, Aug 21.-The large gas oline still of A. D. Miller & Sons oil re- fnery, Allegheny City, exploded this morning and the entire refinery was de- stroyed by the fire which followed. Perry Hawke, an employe was probably fatally burned, and three other men are missing. Five horses were burned. The establishment contained four large stills with 30,O00 barrels of crude and 300 barrels of refined oil. The building was of brick 250x3O0 feet in dimensions. The residence of D. Osborn was destroyed and other adjoining property was dam aged. The loss will reach S25O,OO0 and is covered by insurance.
 The oil in the crude tank was still burning with renewed fury at o'clock this afternoon, throwing off such intense heat and volumes of smoke that it is i'm possible to get anywhere near. An over flow of burning oil is momentarily ex- pected, when 5000 barrels of refined oil in an adjoining building will go, endan- gering many other houses.

NEWS FROM THE "BOYs.o
Governor Bulkelcy Arrives at Mantle
 and Will Remain All Week.


 N1ANTIc, August 21.-Although al number of papers have taken occasion thus early to criticise the camp and its work rather harshly, the fact remains that Camp Bulkeley has many excellent points and in some respects 1t IS better than any preceding encampment.
 The guard duty has not been quite as good as was hoped for. Major Wells, who was field officer of the day Monday, said yesterday that the guard duty was very ragged in places. He qualified this statement, however, by saying that quite number of the men showed a clear idea of the duty that was required of them and he was confident that day or two would work a great change for the better. Yesterday morning the Fourth regl- ment was ordered out for grand guard duty. This has not been done since the sham battles. The regiment was posted outside the camp grounds and was given a four hours drill. The First regiment went out at o'clock. This morning the Third will go out and the Seconds turn will come this afternoon. The Fifth battalion will go out Thursday. This is duty that is absolutely neces- sary in an enemys country or when an enemy is near to prevent surprise of the camp.
 Yesterday afternoon the guard assem- bled and drove off the hangers-on ill camp. There must have been a couple of hundred of them. This is something | remarkable at this stage of camp life, and if similar proportion come down during the balance of the week no estl- mate can be put upon the number that is likely to be here before the week IS 1 out.
 ->1o nm last evening. although he was not ex- pected until Thursday, to be present on ''Governor's Day. This has been the custom with former governors. Gov ernor Bulkeley was escorted into camp and will remain the entire week, occu- pying a tent and common mattress the same as the 'boys." Governor Ladd IS expected to come over from Rhode Island Friday. Governor Ames of Mas sachusetts has been invited and may be here too. If the three governors get together there is sure to be a big time. Lieutenant Colonel Twombley of the First regiment was field officer yester- day.
 When the new blankets of the Second regiment were handed out they were looked upon as comfortable affairs. They certainly looked well and were oi the finest stuff, but when the men rolled up in them last night there was howl The blankets have a strong carbolic aroma that may keep away the moths. but the men say it is not pleasant to fall asleep dreaming of disinfectants.
 A member of Co B, First regiment who is spending his first year in camp walked down the company street last night with big mallet in his hand. He saw something bulging out of the tent and gave it rap with the mallet. At the same moment there was howl, and 2 private rushed out and asked who struck him in the head. It was an entirely un intentional assault, but the regimenta surgeon had to sew the wound up witf three stitches.

THIS TIME WAS X FAILURE.

A Danbury Storehouse Found With a
 Hole Burned in the Floor.
 DANBURY, August 21.-John l.. Sher- man has a storehouse in Ives court which escaped the ravages of the recent fire. Yesterday Mir Sherman entered the building and discovered that at tempts had been made to burn it. He found pile of wood and shavings placed in the center of the room, and paper had been used to light the pro posed fire. Empty barrels had been placed in circle about it. But for some reason the fire had gone out after having burned only the shavings and paper. MT Sherman uses the building mainly for the storage of lime and flour. There was a small hole burned i'll the floor, and it is great wonder that fire did not result.

ANOTHER PAPER IN TROUBLE.
The Naugatuck Citizen Sued by John

The Naugatuck Citizen Sued by John
 c. Chamberlain of Bridgeport.
 Prosecuting Attorney John c. Chamb- erlain of Bridgeport has brought a suit for S4 800 against the Naugatuck Citizen, claiming that the paper published a libelous article about him several weeks ago. The papers in the suit were served upon Editor Clima to-day. Some five weeks ago, Mir Chamberlain who was acting as counsel for John Jacoby, a contractor on the Naugatuck Water company works, came to Naugatuck to adjust some difficulty with the contractor and his employees. Mir Chamberlain claimed that he was threatened with an assault by the Ital- ian laborers and he has presented charges to Sheriff Gates, claiming that Sheriff Sweeney did not offer to protect him. Sheriff Sweeney or in fact anybody who was present saw no attempt made at an assault and in the next issue of the Git izen an article appeared stating the case with comments. Mir Chamberlain then demanded that retraction be made but Mir Clima refused

ANXIOUS LIQUOR DEALERS.
Screen Law Violators May Lose Their
 Licenses.

Screen Law Violators May Lose Their
 Licenses.
 County Commissioners Burleigh and Jacobs said yesterday that while they would not be called upon for some months to make a formal ruling, they did not see how they could issue liquor licenses next year to any applicants who had compromised a case under any of the liquor laws. They say that from the reading of the law they cannot see how they can do otherwise than refuse licenses to those who paid costs another year. Payment of costs, they believe, constitutes the penalty mentioned in the screen law. Several Waterbury deal CTS have already been convicted under the screen law and are somewhat worried as to how their convictions will be viewed by the commissioners in the granting of a license next year.

A MOTION TO SELL OUT.

Winding Up the Affairs of the "'Re-
 publican'' Printing Company.
 Edward F. Cole, trustee of the insol- vent estate of the Republican Printing company, has made motion to sell out the plant for the benefit of creditors. The hearing will be held in the probate court tomorrow morning and some in teresting developments are expected, Mir Morrow claims that there are no debts, while the other stockholders, represented by Attorney Terry, are sat isfied that the company is unable to pay all it's obligations, and the fact that Trustee Cole has moved to sell out the business would indicate that he is satis- fled that the company is insolvent. The appraisers completed their work this morning and fixed the valuation of the plant at S3 ,467.75.
