speak-easy," he said, "as your folks did, Mr..
Reneman." The remonstrance attempted to
show that the liquors in Charles Koch's store
both the applicant and the brother denied it.
The brothers were confronted with an affidavit,
signed by j. w. Koch, in which he swore that
the liquor in the store belonged to him. This
was to evade the execution Of a Judgment Sc
cured by Mr.. Reineman against Charles M.
Koch. Joseph Koch declared he did not under
stand the affidavit and did not mean to claim
the liquors. Judge Ewing expressed consider
able Indignation over the conflicting oaths, and
when Attorney Marion endeavored to excuse
the introduction. Judge Ewing turned to
Stenographer Fullwood and asked if he had
all the testimony. The meaning of the ques-
tion is explained by the fact that Joseph w.
Koch is an applicant for wholesale licence.

LAST YEAR A CHARACTER.

George Schad stirred up great row year
ago. His attorney was George Shiras Ill, and
1t was the refusal to license Schad which
prompted Mr.. Shiras to attack Judge White in
correspondence and in the Legislature. Schad

had another attorney.

Remarkable Duels.

One afternoon last week there was
large and interested crowd of amusement
seekers in and in front of the large SIDE
windows of Knox & Van Haren's drug
store. The cause of the gathering was
one of a rather unusual nature. Several
days before two centipedes, one large
and the other small, were brought into
the store, and also a tarantula. They
were left in separate receptacles and all
alive
On this particular afternoon it was de-
termined to see how the animals would
act when placed together. 4 layer of
sand about an inch thick was spread
over the bottom Of a glass globe, and
first the two centipedes were dropped in
and with them horned toad. His
majesty with the horns took no part in
the trouble which disturbed the other
two. He seemed to be acting simply as
the referee of the fight. The two cent?
pedes crawled over him and rolled over
him, but hardly awakened his sleepy
nature The two centipedes circled two
or three times around the globe and
finally came in each others way. Each
desired to crawl over the other and the
battle began. 1t was short but it was
exciting. Their cat-hke claws were re-
peatedly imbedded in each others bodies,
but the smaller one could not stand the
strain, and when they came together for
the third time, about two minutes after
they were first put in, they clinched and
wound about each other, keeping their
claws going III scissor fashion upon each
others bodies until the smaller centipede
dropped out of the struggle, dead.
The body was taken out of the globe
and soon after the tarantula dropped in.
The centipede had not had time to re-
cover any strength after his battle with
his fellow, and his sting had lost its
deatt-dealing qualities, so that this battle
was also short The two animals closed
only twice, when the forceps of the tar
antula crushed through the head of the
larger centipede and he died quickly
The tarantula had apparently received no
injury, and looked mad enough to have
fought a whole regiment of centipedes.-

Sold His Mhiskers.

Displaying double handful Of shears
and scissors, a peddler walked into 8
Vine street store and tried to induce tho
clerk behind the counter to buy a sample
of his wares
The itinerant merchant was remarkable
because of an immense mustache that
tapped in the cool night air from his
upper lip. 1t was very carefully trained,
and prOtruded on either side of his face
for several inches. Then, too, he had a
pronounced French accent. Just as he
turned away gentleman who had beer
leaning over the counter perusing paper
suddenly faced about, and, taking a look
at the peddier, remarked: ''I'H give
you two dollars if you will let me cut Of
those whiskersl And I'll buy a pair OF
shears in the bargain"
1.-TWO dollaire If I'll let you cut off my
weiskairel" repeated the peddler.
''That's what said, " returned the gen.
tleman of the strange fancy.
The peddler studied for an instant and
cheerfully remarked:
"Ze gentleman can cut off my
whiskaire for two dollars. Allonsln
Producing a two-dollar bill the whiskei
destroyer laid it on the counter, and
selecting a pair OF Scissors, calmly pro
ceeded to cut off she Iuxuriant hirsutt
growth in little ships as though he
wished to get full value for his money.
The peddler bore the operation Just as
calmly, holding his head forward that
the hair might fall on the counter and
not on his vest. Not a sound escaped hin
during the strange operation, and wher
the scissors ceased their work and vert
laid down in order that the money might
be handed over, he simply remarked
''Ze gentleman have fnish2"
When he had folded a silver quarter,
the price of the scissors, within the two
dollar bill, the price of his mustache, he
bowed politely, saying: 'Mercil an
yer much oblige," complacently strodt
out and walked into the next store OF
his mercantile round. He was followed
out by the gentleman of the peculiar
taste Neither looked at the other,

A Tiger and Alligator Fight.

A small party were on trip through
the Sunderbuns, India. 1t was hot,
sultry day; in fact, a regular griller. As
they went on in their boat they had OBJ
served during the morning a large num-
Der of alligators asleep on the shore As
the day rose higher, the numbers gradu-
ally decreased, till at length only one or
two solitary ones were to be seen The
tide turned, and the party anchored out
in the stream, there being too little water
to come close in. The shore for some
distance was sandy and bare, but about
= mile in the interior the thick jingle
reared its myriad boughs to a cloudless
sky. Opposite where they were one
huge alligator, stretching out its scaly
length on the sands, lay fast asleep.
They had observed it for some time,
when one of the party, touching his
friends hand, pointed to the jungle.
Slowly issuing from the close brushwood
was seen an immense tiger. Softly and
with silent steps it advanced, raised up
one foot, poised it some time in the air,
then, quietly lowering it, raised the 9TH
er, crouching till its body nearly touched
the ground In this way it advanced,
exactly as a cat when stealing upon a
mouse. Having come to within its
bounding distance, it rose, lifted its tail
and then, lashing It on ground, leapt
The next second it was on the alligator's
back, and holding on by the nape Of the
neck. The monster Of the deep, thus
rudely shaken from his midday slumber,
opened his terrific jaws, and tried to seize
the tiger in vain. It then employed its
sawlke tail, and lashei the sides Of the
forest denizen, but still the tiger held on.
The contest thus kept on some time. At
length the efforts Of the alligator became
weaker and weaker, till at last they
ceased altogether. Still the tiger held
on. After some time he let 20 his hold,
got off the brute's back, and Selling it
by the body dragged it some distance on
the shore, and there sat over it exactly as
a cat does over mouse. For a while it
sat thus, then, rising, dragged it into the
Jungle. But the strangest part is yet be-
hind. About an hour after this what
should be seen but the poor alligator
crawling toward the water much lacera-
ted but not killed, proof that the tiger
does not kill simply because he is hungry.

A Remarkable Fish Story.

What will always be regarded as a re
markable and seemingly-impossible thing
has developed at Eldora, Iowa. Joh1
Webster and a number of companions
went down to the Iowa River for few
days fishing. They cut holes in the ice.
and with long spears impaled the fish a!
they came up to breathe. One magniti.
cent pike, of the wall-eyed variety, wa.
speared by Webster, and it was decided
to broil it for dinner Upon cutting il
open the surprise of the fishermen wa;
intense when a good-sized pocketbook
was found within the fish. In the book
was found sos in gold, SIS in silver, S25
in greeubacks, SO, OGO in bonds, and 8
certificate of deposit for S25 on bankai
Johnstown, Penn, lately devastated by
flood
A piece of paper was also found on
which was written statement that the
owner of the book and contents wa.
John J. Jones, of Johnstown, Penn.
There is no doubt that the fish was in the
Conemaugh en- the fatal night of the flood
and swallowed the book as it fell from
the pocket of Mr.. Jones, who, it is sup
