fact he is always fresh. is in season
all the year around, and although
not fish he drinks like one. When
taken by a policeman he generally
furnishes his own sauce. He can be
found lounging around the church
door when the ladies are making
their exit; at the back door Of the
theatre. and in the front window of
the club room. His steady Occupa-
ton consists in sucking the knob of a
small cane when he is not sucking a
cigarette. Just as the masher grad

the frOlicsOme oyster in due process S

In fact, he is tadpOle masher, so to
speak. a religious paper says that
the oyster should be opened with
prayer. This evidently does not re-

be pried open with a crow bar. II

THE, Times Democrat Of New Or
leans accepts the S25,O 600, paid Parnell
and the 81 800 paid his secretary, by
the Times as a complete generation
of Mr.. Parnell and says concerning
that vindicatiOn:
1.-The Times mas seldom, if ever be-
fore, receded thoroughly from posi-
ton and publicly confessed its error;
and the confession IS, for that reason,
all the more striking. 1t is true that
it attempts TO modify its apology by
declaring that it lin no wise affects
the larger Irish question" The
world will not accept this view of the
matter. The Times, taking the most
charitable view. was guilty of stup-
id blunder and gross negligence, as
the English papers delight in pointing
out-a blunder due to prejudice and
hate. The world is not likely here
after to give any credit to the Times
utterances on the Irish question when
it sees how willingly, or at least how
easily, that paper is tricked by dis
reputable and irresponsible rascals,
and it is only too well prepared to be-
lieve any story that is told it against
Mr.. Parnell or the Irish leaders"
If the New Orleans Times thinks
that the London Times is as easily
quieted as this it reckons without its
host. The London Times will 90
down to the last hour of the Irish
question breathing out its hate
against the leaders of Irish Home
rule, no matter who they are or where
found.

crying for Canadian annexation. The
News says:
"The Canuck does not wish 10 be
politically annexed TO the United

emphasis in the house of commons,
and contradictory remarks are out of
order. Why anybody in the United
States should desire the political an
nexation of Canada is not quite clear,
and why the American newspapers
should continue to harp on such an
nexation is beyond comprehension"
The house of commons is not so sat

ion, but all the same Uncle Sam does
not want to adopt Canadian John.

New YORK, Oct. 1S.-Concerning the
proposition to make a straight track for
trotters, Robert Bonner said to-nig hit /:
ject, and of course I can't say whether there
is any truth in it. It is quite probable, how
ever. Nothing can 90 said at this early day
of the feasibility of the scheme, but l would
be inclined to doubt it's success. The public
patronize trotting races to see horses trot.
With mile straightaway very little could
be seen. A thoroughbred trotter in action
is one of the most beautiful sights in the
world, aud trotting race can only be en-
joyed on the regulation oval trauk.

record if the proposed track is perfected!''
was asked.
"Well, yes; if it ever materializes and
all the conditions are right, 1 may send
Sunol to see whaS she can do, but there
would be but little merit in such record.
| am opposed to straightaway tracks both
for runners and trotters. Take the recent
trial Of Salvador, for instance. In his
record he is over four seconds better than
any horse, living or dead. Do you believe
such is the case! For myself, ! honestly
think he could not equal Tenbroeck's time
on a regular track. believe there are S
number of horses that can equal Salvatore
performance on a straightaway. The ova

Why" said the genial old gentleman

is wonderfully long strider, and this
straightaway would be just the thing for

unusual striders as she is, which puts me
in mind of Dexter. They said the old horse
could trot round washtub."

HORRIBLE ACCIDENT.
Two Children Fatally Burned
Yesterday Afternoon.
A COAL OIL EXPLOSION THE CAUSE
DIR. Richards Says the Victims Cannot Live
nr. and Mrs. Hirschler, tho
Parents, Frustrated.

One Of the most frightful accidents that
has ever taken place here occurred yester-
day afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Hirschler,
who reside at the corner of l and Seventh
streets, left home yesterday afternoon and
locked their two children, a girl aged eight,
and a boy about three, in the house. at
about o'clock, the girl undertook to kin
die fire, and to expedite matters, resorted
to the coal oil can. The result that has
too often followed the practice, followed in
this case. The flames were communicated
to the oil in the can and an explosion fol-
lowed. In an instant the girls clothing
was on fire, and she escaped into the street
mass of flames. j. F. Thomas, who re-
sides near by, heard her cries and rushed to
her assistance. When he reached her, the
skin was fairly peeling from her body and
| she presented horrible spectacle. Mr..
Thomas threw some blankets about her
and extinguished the flames and immedi-
ately started for town in a wagon to give
| the alarm and summon doctor. The
| crowd which gathered were Ignorant of the
| fact that the baby was in the house, and
the attention of Miss Thomas and Mrs.
Burt was drst attracted to him by seeing
| the poor little fellow running around the
room and tapping at the windows. The
ladies named at once rushed to the place,
broke in the window and got the little suf-
ferer out. 1t was found that he was
burned even more severely than
his sister, and the sufferings of the two
were beyond description. DR.. Richards
was soon On hand and dressed their wounds
and administered morphine. The scene
was sad one, so sad that even the physi-
clan, accustomed as he is to,witnessing suf-
fering, was overcome by it. The physician
said that the injuries of both were fatal,
and he thought the boy would die within
twenty four houSs, while the girl might
live forty eight hours. The unfortunate
children were removed to the hospital
where everything possible was done for
them. In the meantime the fire department
arrived, and the flames were extinguished,
the loss amounting to about one hundred
/ dollars.
1t was sad homecoming to MIR. and
Mrs. Hirschler, and both are said to be
FRUSTRATED with grief over the SAD affair.
MIR Thomas was burned somewhat about
the hands, and Mrs. Burt's arms were cut
in her efforts to get the boy out of the win,

Evans Acquitted of Davis Murder.

BUTTE Mont, Oct 1S.-[Special telegram
to THE HERALD. The trial of John
Evans for the killing of Dan Davis July
IA last, in this city resulted in an aquittal
of the accused about II O'Clock to- night.
Davis was large man and had attacked
Evans before. They afterwards met in
front OF the Clarendon saloon when Davis
repeated the attack and was stabbed by
Evans in the abdomen infiicting what
proved fatal wound. The injured man
lived several days and two sets Of sur
geons operated upon him.
A fight between them and their
charges against each other of having
really caused the death of Davis assisted
materially in clearing Evans The argu-
ments were closed in the district court to-
night, and the jury returned verdict Of
not guilty after being out few minutes.
The verdict will be generally received as
