MOVIES.

The spalding Telegraph bill was passed
by the House to-day, and the Senate
quickly concurred in the House amend
ments. This bill is one Of the best that
has passed this session 1t is said tonight
that back Of the whole thing there is an
intention tog finally put the wires under
ground. 1t is said that the Street and
Sewer Department will readily grant the
privilege to this company to lay their
conduits and then they will order all
wires in Wilmington under ground.
What this talk amounts to remains to
be seen. The future alone can develop
it. The underground wire bill was de-
feated in the Senate
The bin TO prevent fire and bankrupt
sales of clothing became law in the
Senate to-day and is very good one. A
great many Wilmington people have

NEW STATE HOUSE.
Senator Richardson secured the passage
of his new State House bill through the
Senate to-day. The act provides for the
erection Of new building, to cost $l25,
600. Senators Dorman, Collins, and Bacon
were opposed to the BILL There will be
a hard fight for the measure IN the House
The need Of the building is apparent to
everybody. and the only thing that will
defeat 1t in the House is rank partisan
ship. Senator Higgins is believed to be
opposed to 1t on the ground that 1t viii
hurt the party. IL to-day is any evidence
the party don't take much stock in Mr..
Higginss opinion as to what win hurt
the party, and don't hesitate to say SO.
HIGH LICENSE CERTAIN.
High license looks like certainty.
The Senate caucussed upon it tonight
with a result that was unexpected. They
decided to amend the House bill by re
ducing the license In Wilmington tC
81, 900 and TO all other parts Of the state
5000. The license for wholesalers Is
placed at $100 The provisions in re
gard to screens and druggists are left un
changed The bill will be reported tc
the Senate tomorrow favorably and there
is every indication that 1t VIII pass. Tn,
local option bill is said to have stood /
good chance in the Senate, but IL is be
lieved that the passage Of this bill viii
prevent all action upon local option. Th'
Senate Is pretty unanimous upon thii
question Of high license and their actor
is calculated TO knock all Republican cap
ital sky high. The only thing to regre
about this bill, should it pass, is that
part Of the license fee does not 60 int
the city treasury of Wilmington. 1t j
believed that the House win accep
these reductions in license fees and higl
license looks like a certainty.

sponging an Untamed Tiger.

When Pezon, the lion-tamer, was at
Moscow with his naenagerie he had oc-
casion to employ mouiik, a fine spec
linen of Cossack, to clean out the
cages of the wild beasts. The Cossack
did not understand a word of French.
and the terms of the contract were
settled in dumb show. By way of in
structing him in his new duties Pezon
went through a sort of pantomine with
the broom, sponge, and water bucket.
The moujik watched him closely and
appeared fully 10 understand the de-
tails of the lesson given.
Next morning, armed with a broom,
bucket, and sponge he opened the
first cage he came to and quietly
stepped in, as he had seen his master
step the previous day into two cages
Of harmless brutes. but this one hap
pened to be tenanted by a splendid
but untamed tiger that lay stretched
on the floor asleep. At the noise made
by opening and closing the door the
creature raised its head and turned its
green eyes full on the man, who, all
unconscious of his danger, stood in
the corner dipping his sponge into the
bucket
At that moment Pezon came out of
his caravan and was struck dumb by
the terrible sight that met his gaze.
What could he do to warn the man of
his danger? a sound, a movement on
his part might enrage the great beast
and hasten its attack on the defense
less Cossack. So Pezon stood await
ing developments, ready 10 rush to the
scene when the crisis came. The mou-
iik, sponge in hand. coolly approached
the tiger and made ready to rub him
down with the stolidity of military
bootback polishing his Captains
boots. The sudden application of cold
water to its hide evidently produced
an agreeable effect on the tiger, fol it
began to purr, stretched out its paws,
rolled over on its back. and compla-
Gently offered every part Of its body to
the vigorous treatment of the mouiiR,
who went on scrubbing with might
and main.
All the while Pezon stood there with
his ewes wide open as if nailed to
the spot. When he had finished the
Job the Cossack left the cage as quiet
ly as he had entered it, and 1t required
the most energetic and expressive
gestures on the part of the lion-tamer
to prevent his repeating the expert
ment on a second wild beast. London

\ Young Woman Thrashes Washer.

Late Saturday night small crowd
of men and women Just out from the
theaters witnessed an odd street fight
on Washington street, in Boston. near
the Adams house.
As usual there was crowd of loun-
gers who are to be seen in that locality
at all hours of the day and night. They
were leering at and criticisng the APP
pearance Of passers-by in their usual
fashion when a gentleman and two
ladies made their appearance.
One of the latter got separated
from her companions through an ac-
cident; would-be masher approached
her with his face wreathed in smiles.
He had on long yellow ulster and
wore a derby hat.
As he lifted his hat and was about
to accost ner the Young woman wheel
ed around like flash and hit him a
smart slap in the face, with an eXcla-
nation: "What DO you mean byrnsult-

She didn't stop there, either, for, as
the man rushed upon her and attempt-
ed to strike her in most c0wardly
manner, She assumed a pugiiistic at
titude and his blows glanced harmless
~ of. Before anybody could inter-
fere she had thrown her mud to the
sidewalk and was delivering blows
thick and fast upon her antagonist
who although he tried to strike back,
could DO little.

right arm finally laid the young man
