TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF COMBAT.
The Greatest Of Spanish Matadors Re-
tires From the Arena.

WIEsBADEN, GERMANY, May 49,
SPANS most celebrated bull fighter, Salvador
Sanchez, yclept Frascuelo, has recently retired
from the arena after twenty-five years of
dexterous combat with the Andalusian bull
The event took place publicly in the amphi-
theater at Madrid on the 18th of May in the
presence of an immense concourse of specta-
tors, made up of the wealth, beauty and dignity
of Spain, who had come together from all parts
Of the kingdom, as well from Portugal and
southern France, to do farewell honor to this
greatest of all matadors There was fine
program, six bulls were dispatched by Fras-
cuelo in his most mastery manner amid the
plaudits of the spectators, and then came the
eliminating feature of the day, the shearing Of
the Samson in the face of the multitude az is
the Spanish won't. This consists, after the
brutal spectacle Of bull killing is ended in the
retiring matador having the small cue at the
back of the head, which is the distinguishing
professional mark of the bull fighter, formally
clipped off as token that the business is
solemnly renowned for all time. This cue it
is necessary for every torero to wear at the
back of his head. in order that the bag of hair
indispensable to the old Andalusian costume
may be fastened to it. The amphitheater in
which this ceremony took place in the pres ent
instance is a gigantic structure, holding IA. 900
spectators, and SO great was the popularity OF
Frascuelo and the pressure for seats at it that
no ticket of admission was to be had for less
than 10 francs. and boxes sold as high as 500
francs. The retirement of Frascuelo was an
event to these people almost as important as
the fall of empire. The demonstration was
most enthusiastic. The spectators screeched
themselves hoarse and the scenes in the arena
are said to have baf1ed description. The en-
thusiasn of the Spaniards. especially of the
ladies, hardly knew any bounds, and no greater
uproar ever greeted conquering hero return
ing from a successful war.
Farewell. Frascuelo. A long farewell to all
such greatness And would to God that with
you went the whole bloody show! s.

Where the Baby Was Found.

From the Detroit Free Press.
While Buffalo family was moving the mother
suddenly missed the baby. The infant could
be heard crying and the mother finally con.
jectured that she was inside of roll of CARPET.
1t was true. The baby had been left in the
middle of the sitting room floor and the men
who took up the carpet tossed breadth over
her without observing her. rolled her up in it
and stood the carpet up in the hall. The child
when rescued was punctured here and there
with rusty tacks and its mouth was partly
stuffed with carpet dust, but otherwise it was
quite hearty.
