cHuLLx AND THE Aw-PANTHER
Dude Gets Away with a varmint
With only HIS Cane for a Weapon.

Dude Gets Away with q tarm1nt
With only HIS Cane for a Weapon.
LFrom the st. Louis Globe Democrat
SPARTA, La, March 19.-Charles A. of
this place met with singular adventure re.
GENTLY with black panther, which, aston
ishing as it may seem, he succeeded In kill
ing with his cane. Charley has been con-
sidered fair specimen of the genus dude
from his love of dress, but his courage and
manliness will never be doubted after his
lively experience with the big cat. The
cane used on that occasion was a stout one
of fine polished wood, with large nickel
head, projecting both ways like a grubbing
hoe of the kind much affected by the dude.
Charley, ic appears, was escorting a young
lady home from dance held at the house of
| a gentleman residing few miles from town,
! and during the ride homo the harness of his
buggy was broken. A bit of string was nec-
essary to the mending of it before they
could 90 on, SO Charley proposed his seeking
the nearest house to obtain the essential
string, and the young lady, not wishing to
be left alone in the vehicle, declared she
| would accompany him. The couple was
| obliged to pass through belt of timber,
| and on the outstretching branch of large
| oak Charley saw shadowy object crouching.
| In order to make sure lie threw stone at it,
| when the animal sprang upon him with a
hoarse scream of fury. The light was insult
| fcient for them to see the creature plainly,
but the cry of panther is unmistakable,
with its almost human accent. The animal
| landed squarely on Charley's back, digging
its nails fercciously in him and snarling hor-
| ribly.
The Young man called to the lady to run
on to the house and fetch help, while he
turned his attention to dislodging the pam
ther. This he found he could not easily do,
as he was unable to reach it, SO he hit upon
| the rather ingenious plan of rolling over and
over on the ground, thus forcing the creature
| to relinquish its hold. 1t dropped off, but
| instantly made at him again, when he struck
| ii blow on the head with the curved end
| of his cane. Charley took advantage of the
| panther's recoil from this to take to his
heels, but only succeeded in reaching the
edge of the open ground, when the panther,
which had been merely stunned for a mo-
ment from the blow, sprang after him, and,
easily overtakipg him, rushed forward with
it's mouth open.
The young man braced himself for the
attack, and just as the animal aung itsell
upon him, caught it by the back of the neck
| and before it could recover itself and wres
its head away, thrust the head of his can,
violently down it's throat, tearing and ohok
ing it. The panther fell to the ground, AMI
Charley, exerting all his strength, bent tn
cane over his knee until he fairly pried tn
animal up by it, thus choking it to death.
Just as it expired the men whom th
young lady had reused up and brought O

1t is interesting to note the value put upon
the handwriting of some prominent Ameri.
cans by the autograph dealers. A letter
written by General Robert E. Lee in 1866,
and consisting of two pages, can be bought
for eighteen dollars. An original autograph
copy of the celebrated song, "My Maryland" I"
signed by the author, James R. Randall, is
listed at fifteen dollars. The last verse of
this song, also signed by the author, can be
secured separately for dollar and quarter.
A check signed by Dolly P. Madison, wife of
President Madison, in 1887, is "going" for
half the price of ton of coal, two dollars
and half. Admirers of the late James Bu-
chansn can purchase the manuscript of q
speech delivered by him in the house of rep
resentatives, upon the subject Of extinguish-
ing the public debt, for five dollars and sev-
enty-fve cents. An interesting literary let
ter written by the late poet Paul q. Hayne,
and consisting of six pages, is quoted at two
dollars. One dollar will buy six lines of the
veteran poet Walt Whitman's writing. One
page of note paper covered with N. P. Will

The poet says that Sin the spring the
young mans fancy lightly turns to
thoughts of love-" This is to a certain ex-
tent true, but no poet has sung how heavily
the young mans fancy turns toward paying
for some new spring clothes.
A judge of the Supreme court of Pennsyl-
vania has given very accurate definition of
some peddlers. Says he: "The peddler is
transient with no fixed place of business, who
seeks customers by invading their homes, and
makes sales by persuading people to buy what
they do not need, and who, by the time he is
wanted to answer for his representations and
engagements, is out of sight"
II has been discovered that the early Egyp-
tisns knew about photography. The discov-
cry is supported by some logical reasoning.
Tho great pyramid must have been photo
graphic laboratory. It contains a dark
room, and the dictionary defines dark room
as place in which Photographic plates are
developed. Hence the Egyptians must have
been photographers. Cheops, the builder of
this pyramid, was probably the first amateur
photographer.
A Brooklyn engineer puts forth what is
apparently a good idea when he says that if
steamship companies would offer reward
for an automatic lubrioator to apply grease
or oil to the outside of the hulls of ocean
steamers inventors would soon supply the
want and the steamers would gain much in
H. &1okk I,o
saving in fuel more than sufficient to make
up for the cost of oil and apparatus and that
the effect of oil in rough water would greatly
add to the comfort of the passengers.
n. Tisza. the Hungarian statesman, Is said
to have smoked more cigars than any other
man in Europe. He smokes incessantly, and
people say that that is why he is so shrivelled
and old-looking, for, while under sixty, he
looks q man of seventy-five or eighty. ID.
Tisza is also as copious in his hbations as
Prince Bismarck, and as little affected by
them: Both Count Taafe and NJ. StambouloH
have Prince Bismarck's habit Of imbibinR
brandy and seltzer when they are speaking,
and there is story of one famous European
stateman who never begins business without
pint of whiskey.
A citizen Of Oskaloosa, Kansas, which 1s

"boudoir," but whenever congratulations are
offered on his exploit he replies with an air
of disgust not all assumed. "Aw-but my

Death of Mrs. 4. ]. Coleman.

The sad although not wholly unex-
pected death of Mrs. Coleman occurred
Monday of last week, May Goth, at Iowa,
City, Ia. Mrs. Coleman, whose maiden
name was Miss Katie M. Noonan, had a
large circle OF friends in Minneapolis,
why're for two or three years previous to
he marriage in November, 1883, she re-
sided with her sister Mrs. T. w. Nc
Gratk, 113O North Fifth street. The de-
ceased was taken ill some eight months
ago in Rock Island, ILL.,, her home since
her marriage, and only recently was ad
vised by her physicians and friends to go
to her parents home near Iowa City
hoping to be benefited by the change:
but soon the bright and youthful life
passed away quietly under the roof
where her happy childhood days were
spent and the pride Of that household is
now no more. She was prepared for a
happy death by Rev. Father Smyth, Of
Iowa City, who was with her and ad
ministered the consoling rites of Holy
Church only few hours before her
death. Her remains were inferred at
Iowa City, Ia. She died, as she lived, in
the midst of her friends, for no one knew
her but to love her. May her soul rest
in peace.

thought bad affected her brain. For
some time the unfortunate lady. it
seems, had contemplated self destruc-
ton. preferring, as she would say, to
die rather than live and suffer. On
last Monday nieht Mr.. GALLAGHER ar
rived home at11 pm. and found hisWlfe
in a cheerful mood. She complained Of
being hungry and he went to the pantry
and brought her something to eat. after
which he retired to his room for the
night In q short time he was startled
by a strange noise from his wife's bed
room. and on going in to ascertain the
cause, found that Mrs. Gallagher was
in the ag0nies of death, with an ugly
cash in her throat caused by q razor.
The deceased lady was married about
four years ago to Chris. A. Gallagher,
at Manchester, N. H., where both had
lived and known each other for many
years prior to their removal to Min
neapolis. Her remains were taken east
on Wednesday, accompanied by her
husband and J. J. Kinnane, Esq, Of
