rlucklng ana snearlng teese.

A curious case came before an En-
glish court for adjudication recently.
A poulterer was charged with cruelty
to forty eight live geese by plucking
them of their feathers, and the owner
was charged with procuring the COM
mission of the offense. The proceed
ings were taken by the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals A
witness swore that after the geese
we're plucked their skins turned pur-
pie color, and they seemed to be in
pain. They walked about with their
backs up, and shank when touched"
The practice was shown by defend
ants TO be very prevalent, and the So
ciety asked for a nominal fine to put a
stop to it. The defendants said it was
the custom of the district to pluck the
feathers every six weeks, and if they
were stopped from doing so many REQ
pie would discontinue keeping geese,
as much more money was realized by
the sale of feathers than by the geese.
The court imposed a fine of eighteen
shilliDgs upon the defendants, and ex-
pressed the hope that it would be a
warning to other people. Plueking
live geese and ducks prevails all over
the United States
There is a species of large water
fowl whose habitat in winter is the
open lakes of the interior. and their
feathers are so firmly set that they can
not be plucked Shearing is resorted
to, and many housewives have beds
made of the feathers, which almost
equal those of elder down, as the stiff,
troublesome quilts are absent Shear
ing geese and ducks could be made to
supersede plucking .-Americdn Agri-

How Base Balls Are Made.

Automatic machines for making base
balls have been so successfully con-
triyed that their introduction is likely
to constitute a practical industry
Each machine winds two balls at one
time, in the following way:
"a little para-rubber ball, weighing
three-quarters of an ounce, around
which one turn has been made with the
end of skein Of an old fashioned gray
stocking yarn, is slipped into the ma
chine, then another, after which the
boy in charge touches lever, the
machine starts and the winding begins.
The rubber ball is thus hidden in few
seconds, and in its place appears a
little gray yarn ball that rapidly grows
larger and larger.
When it appears to be about half the
size of the regulation baseball there
is click, the machine stops, the yarn
is cut, the boy picks out the ball and
losses it into the basket. When this
basket is full it is passed along to an
other boy, who runs similar machine,
where half ounce layer of worsted
yarn is put on.
The next machine adds strong
white cotton thread; coating Of rub
Der cement is next applied and half
ounce layer of the very best fine
worsted completes the ball with the
exception of the cover. - Commercial

The Spread Of LenrosK.

According to Dr. Morell Mackenzie,
leprosy, the srourge of the middle
ages, has not become practieallv ex-
tinct among Europeans, but is really
spreading It has between ten and
twelve hundred victims in Norway, is
found also in Portugal, Greece and
Italy, and is rapidly spreading in Sci
ly. in the Baltic provinces of Russia
and in France, while the British ISL
ands are not exempt from it. In the
United States cases have been found in
California, in some of the States of the
Northwest, in Utah and Louisiana.
Many cases exist in New Brunswick.
In the Sandwich Islands the disease
first broke out in 1858 and there are
how 100 lepers in the Molokai settle
ment alone The disease is extending
in the West Indies.

The promotion of Brigadier General
Nelson A. Miles to the rank of Major
General is matter of greater interest
to Chicago than to the rest of the
country, as the impression is general
that he will succeed the late Major
General Crook as commander of the
Division of the Missouri, with head
quarters in this city. But it is note
worthy chiefly as the promotion to the
highest rank in the army of an officer
who was never at West Point.
General Miles was born in Westmin-
ster, Mass, August 8, 1899. He re-
ceived an academic education, and was
engaged in mercantile pursuits in
Boston when the civil war began. On
September 8, 1861, he entered the
volunteer service as Lieutenant in the
Twenty second Massachusetts, In
fantry, and was commissioned Lieuten-
ant Colonel of the Sixty-frst New York
Volunteers, to date from May 81, 1862.
He was engaged in the battles Of the
Peninsula, before Richmond, and at
Antietam, and on September 80 was
made Colonel of his regiment. Col.
Miles fought in all the battles of the
Army of the Potomac, with one excep-
ton, up to the surrender of Lee at
Appomattox Court House, Va, and
was wounded three times. He was
rapidly promoted for gallant services
in the field. He was commissioned a
major general in 1865, and in 1866 was
mustered out of the volunteer service
and received an appointment in the
regular army as Colonel 'of the For
tieth Infantry. He was transferred tc
the Fifth Infantry in 1869, defeated the
Cheyenne, Kiowa and Comanche In.
dams on the borders of the Staked
Plains in 1875, and in 1876 subiucated

Montana, driving Sitting Bull across

An Accident In a Spanish Ball.Fight.

A few years ago the inhabitants of
Seville read with surprise, in the adj
vertisement of an approaching bull
fight, this unusual notice:
when the third bull shall have at
tackled the picadors and received three
pairs of banderillas, young peasant,
by whom 1t has been brought up, will
appear in the ring. He will approach
the bull, caress it, and, after removing
the bandefillas, one after another, will
lie down between its horns
The announcement of so singular
feat attracted an immense crowd to the
amphitheater. The third bull APP
peared. an animal with splendid horns
ard very brave; it slew four horses,
received the banderillas, and became
furious. Then, contrary to custom,
all the toreadors retired from the ring,
leaving the bull stamping aud shaking
the bloody darts which hung from his
neck.
All at once long whistle was heard
The bull paused and listened. 1t was
repeated. The bull approached the bar
rier and a young man leaped into the
ring, calling the bull by its name,
sMosquitol" The animal knew its
master came to caress him, and was APP
peased. The peasant gave it his hand
to lick, and with the other began to
scratch it behind the ears-an opera
ton which seemed to afford the brute
much pleasure. He then gently re-
moved the banderillas which annoyed
the neck of Mosquito, made it go down
on its knees, and placed his head be-
tween its horns. The grateful bull
seemed to listen with pleasure TO a
pastoral melody sung by its master.
The admiration of the multitude,
hitherto suppressed by surprise, burst
forth with Andalusian violence and
shook the building. Hearing this
frenzied applause, which had accom-
panied all his sufferings, the bull, till
then under charm, appeared to wake
and return to reality 1t suddenly
rose, believing, and the peasant tried
to escape. But it was too late. The
animal, as though furious at being be-
trayed, tossed the young man into the
air, received him again on its horns,
gored him, trampled on him, and
crushed him to pieces, in spite of the
efforts of the toreadors. The perform
ance was suspended-a phenomenon in
Spain-and the Mortified public quit
ted the circus in silence. York

An Extraordinary Blind Man.

''You talk about your extraordinary
cases of blind men," said q prominent
oculist to me yesterday. 81 have discov-
cred one who surpasses all hitherto men
toned in medical works He is Julius
Stern, who runs billiard saloon aud to-
bacco store on Third avenue. Twelve
years ago he was well known athlete
and carried off many prizes In the cham
pionship field. During race one day he
met with n serious accident, was carried
to hospital, and left it when totally
blind. He had artificial eyes inserted,
and to look at him no one in the world
would know of his affection He attends
to four billiard tables, tips all the cues,
sells cigars and tobacco, and can tell all
the different brands and makes change as
quickly as one possessing sight. He has
never yet been known to make a mistake.
Stranger than all, he esn play billiards;
not, of course, regular game, but, by
placing balls at either end of the table,
he can play many difficult shots. He
made bet, one day last week, that he
would walk from his store to the City
Hall, dine in restaurant and board an
uptown y" road train without using q
stick OF even pausing moment. He
won the bet. and although he met hun
drcds OF people, not one could tell that he
was blind, AlAes Teg5 Star

Production and Consumption of Tea
and Coffee

The production of coffee outside of
Brazil is increasing, and is now estimated
at about four million bags. Estimates now
place the product of Brazil at five and
one-half millions of bags, making total
of nine and oue-half millions of bags,
while the worlds requirements are ten
and onc-half millions of bags. This
leaves shortage of one million of bags
of coffee, each bag weighing one hun
bred and twenty-five pounds. 1t is
claimed on good authority that if Mexico
would pay attention to coffee culture she
could produce enough to supply the
world. 1t looks now very much as though
the famous Barios plantations in Guate-
mala will soon supplant the Java coffee.
On the Barios plantations they have per-
fected the sorting and curing of coffees,
which has brought them in great de-
mand. The coffees are all known by the
names of the plantations on which they
are grown, and sorted in three grades.
The Jam 4ica, West India and San Domin-
go coffees are badly sorted, and are full
of sticks and stones and blight, and bring
iGss III bhO liiui hGJ Ou bllht uNtpuHt
than any other coffees. The blight on
coffee in Ceylon has had curious effect
on teas. There they are now substituting
tea culture for the culture of coffee The
tea grows so fast on this new soil that all
hands in the island are sent to pick the
leaves after every shower. The plant is
wonderfully prolific, and promises the
Ceylon teas to become the coming teas,
as they possess merit no other teas can
claim. They are rich, mellow and de-
licious. In India they are very careful to
prune the plants every season, aud then
give them a season Of rest and pick from
the young growth. This is the reason
they are superseding the Chinese teas.
America uses the entire crop of Japan
teas, which reaches annually 10000, 900
of pounds. Ceylon teas are more in
favor in Europe, which takes the larger
part of the Ceylon and India crops. The
favorite oolong teas from the Island of
Formosa owe much of thei agreeable
toasty flavor to the methods of curing,
and also somewhat TO the soil. The
worlds consumption of teas now reaches
the production. - Chicago Herald.

CAPTURED AT LAST.
The Bold Bank Robber of Denver Caught
In Missouri,


Mansfield King, theselfconfessed murderer
and horse-thief in Jail at Clayton, Missouri,
has been identified as Wells, the Denver bank
robber, who compelled President Moffat, of that
Institution to hand ove- $4,000 in cash in
March, 1889, at the point of volver, II. N
Gus, the assistant cashier of the bank, who was
in the bank at the time the bold act was com
mitted, arrivedin st. Louisa few days ago, and
in company with several detectives went to

MUST DIE BY ELECTRICITY.
william Reminders Application Dented
by the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court of the United States has
denied the application for writ of error made
in behalfof William kemmler, under sentence
of death by electricity at Auburn, n. Y, for
murder. Chief Justice Fuller delivered the
opinion. The court holds that the change in
the form of death was within the legitimate
sphere of the legislative power of the State.
The origin of the phrase cruel and unusual
punishment was in the English act of settle
ment of 1888 and meant that barbarous meth
DDS of punishment should not be inflicted. 1t
meant that man should not be sentenced to
death by torture, but did not mean that the
death penalty itself was cruel. The Legisla-
ture of the State of New York determined that
il did not infict cruel and unusual punish
ment, and its courts have sustained that deter
mination. This court cannot see that the pris-
oner has been deprived of due process of law.
In order to reverse the Judgment this court
should be compelled to hold that the Court of
Appeals had committed an error so gross as to
deprive the prisoner of his constitutional
rights. The court has DO hesitation in saying
it cannot do this.
The ease will now go to Judge Wallace of
the United States Supreme Court for the North
ern District of New York. 1t is expected that
he Will vacate the order passed by him for q
writ of habeas corpus

THE EARTH TREMBLED.

Mohawk Valley In New York Expert
ences a Slight Earthquake Shock.
Shortly after A. NJ, the Mohawk Valley
was disturbed by aslight shock of earthquake,
accompanied by lightning and heavy winds.
The shock in this vicinity was very light, but
increased in intensity to Montgomery county,
where, at Fort Hunter, it was quite severe.
At Little Falls dishes were ratified and a
rumbling as of distant thunder was heard At
Fort Hunter buildings were shaken and beds
moved so that the occupants were awakened.
In Utica dishes were ratified, and some people
report slight vibration but the shocks were
hardly perceptible. No damage was done in
any quarter. This is the first seismal phe-
of note here since 1884.

KENTUCKIANS USE THEIR FISTS.
State Legislators PummeI Each Other
and Then Apologize.

There were two fist fights between members
and attaches of the Legislature at Frankfort,
Ky, and in two other instances fights were
barely prevented. All the gentlemen CON
cerned made apologies to each other.
The first fight was over a railroad bill in
connection with which Representative Lang
try was charged with being bribed. Railroad
Attorney Wallace called Railroad Attorney
Prick liar, and Prick retaliated with blow,
whereupon Sergeant-atArm Castle, knocked
Frick down. Wallace is his brother-in-law.
In the second fight Representatives Farmer
and Bentley quarrelled. Bentley struck Far.
mer in the face and Farmer kicked Bentley
in the side, and several other blows and kicks
were exchanged before the House official
could restore order.
