"My Uncle John says that Humboldt saw
monkey riding on pig, just as this thing
is doing. And this is how he saw it:
"He was travelling in India, for he trav-

Wei, he was visiting In India and the
people where he visited owned lots Of pigs.
They had tame monkey, too. These pigs
were not shut up in pens, but ran about
where they liked, IN the woods and all

monkey caught one Of these pigs and jumped
on his back and rode him all day long
"No matter how hard the pig tried he
couldn't shake of the monkey, and he must
have been awful glad when night came. -

Taking a knife out of his pocket he

Shannon had done all he said he had
Blanche Gray, with whom Shannon had
been living for four years past, was
found in her house near by with three
horrible gashcs in her neck. She ex-

The storm at Atlantic CITY.

ATLANTIC CITY, n. j., March 1S.-The
heavy northeasterly gale that prevailed
along the coast backed tremendous
body of water o7er the Jersey flats for a
mile or two east of Atlantic City, delay
ing travel and cutting off communica-
ton with the upper portion of the pen-
insula. The tide was the highest known
for years and considerable damage was
sustained, All of the railroad tracks
were overflowed, but the most serious
damage was done on the line of the
Camden and Atlantic road. There was
considerable of washout a short dis
tance below Absecon and though an ex-
ira large repair gang was put to work it
was not until noon that trains were able
to get through. The Sea Isle city branch
was badly washed few miles below its
junction and no trains were run either
way all day. Mails were taken down
from the junction in row boat.

NEW YORK. March 1S.--AIatt McCar-
thy, of Philadelphia, and Holske's ''un-
known" who is to meet Cal Mccarthy,
of jersey City. in Il finish fight for the
bantam weight championship of America
and $500 a side, came to this city with
Mr.. Holske and six Philadelphia brokers,
who wanted to see Matt's powers tested
in a trial set to. Gus Tuthill, Jack Demp-
sey's hacker, and nine New York sports
met them and the party went to Eliza
beth, N. j., where the trial took place in
a hall, Tommy Kelly, the Harlem Spider,
having been selected as the antagonist.
Kelly, though but 10 years old, has fig
ured in many contests, and once met Cal
Mccarthy, who bested him in three
rounds, Kelly not being in good condi-
ton. The Spider was also out of trim
yesterday. but was in fighting mood never
theless. He stripped at 107 pounds, while
Mccarthy, who is % years old. weighed
119. In the first round Kelly landed a
stinging blow on McCarthy's nose, draw
ing bloo1. Mccarthy was too heavy for
him, however, and rushed him across
the room until the Spider fell backward
down fight of steps. He was not much
hurt. To avoid a repetition of this sort
of thing a regular ring was formed and
Ed Plummer was appointed referee.
Mccarthy admitted that he had held
Kelly too cheap at the start.
In the fifth round the Spider was very
aggressive, landing blows on Mccarthy s
face, ribs and both sides of the neck.
Mccarthy struck out hard and often, but
the smaller man was good dodger. The
men were in hard rally, banging away
at each other with great vigor, when
time was called, and the referee had to
break them apart before they stopped
smuggling. The sporting men were salts
fled with the entertainment, and a
goodly purse was made up for the Spider,
who expressed the opinion that Matt was
