Davis, Eth axenue nluseum.

Davis Fifth Avenue Museum is rapidly
becoming a very handsome house. A great
deal of progress has been made since the new
house opened its doors, and in few days not
detail in the decoration will be wanting: The
fountain in the roof garden now tinkles over
rocks into deep peol, around which ferns and
palms are arranged. Nearby monkeys chatter
in a cage, and the now famous Uncle Tom tugs
at the end Of his string There are some fine
parrots and coekatoos, also. and there Mr.. and
Mrs. Graham perform the Davenport cabinet
trick.
The greatest attraction this week is the
Venetian Lady Orchestra, They are exceed
ingly pretty young women In handsome BLACK
and orange dresses, and such band OF either
players has not been heard here in long
while. At Atlantic City and at Lenox this
summer they have won great praise, and they
form an attraction seldom found In museum.
Bnt this is clearly part of Manager DAVIS
plan to make his house q departure in every
respect. There is a very fair entertainment in
the theater. Williams and Morris, Irish
comedians; Sanford and Devere, black face
kuockabOut artists; Liston. the musician; the
Southern trio Truehart Saaub and Dillon, in
The Wedding Day.; and Hill and Gilmore,
burlesque skaters. are among the performers.
Ella Carlington's dancing is the best feature of
the programme. There are some interesting
exhibits of electricity and silk manufacture,
and not a solitary item upon the programme IS
in the slightest degree offensive.

1t Was Caught BY Dayton Hunters and Sold
for Five Dollars.
DAYTON, o., September 8.-A bald eagle,
measuring five feet from tip TO tip, was cap
tured at the Bluffs south of this CITY, this after
noon by two farm boys who were hunting
doves. The eagle was perched on the top of a
tall sycamore, when it was fired at by both
huntsmen. The Dird's right leg was broken
when it fell to the ground, when, after a des-
perate resistance it was secured.
The captors supposing that their trophy was
a chicken-hawk. took it to the office of the
County Commissioners with the expectation of
getting the bounty offered for hawks Subse-
quently the eagle was sold for So A veterinary
surgeon who has it in charge thinks that he can
save the broken leg. The bird has a snow
white breast. Its appetite was in good condi-
tion, from the fact that it quickly got away
with two pounds of raw beef.

they met. They found that both had
great ambitions.

triumphs. shall make men happier"
And II returned Amalie, 'feel as ii
could interpret the hidden meaning OF every
thing that God has ever made"
So they were married. and they determined
to Immediately begin great career.
Fiction must be the medium by which we
shall convey our message to the world" decided
Amalie."
"Of course" acquiesced Edward. "Fiction
| is the handmade of truth"
Fiction" said Amalie "is the torch which
illumines the dark chambers of fact"
"Ficton," chorused Edward, lis the chemical
resolvent which married the insoluble quanti-
ties of fact. But for the explanations of fic-
tion, life would be mystery-history would be
paradox"
Therefore, said Amalie, ''fction should
deal with motive. For it is character that
makes plot. Man is the greatest study OF man.
And it is man that makes circumstance. He
is not the creature of it, but the creator of it"
"Ah." cried Edward indignantly, "how. can
you be SO mistaken? It is circumstance that
makes man! How could you have Washing
ton without your Revolution"
There you are wrong" said Amalie. 'for it
would not have been possible to have had
revolution without Washington"
"A novel," said Edward sententiously sis
plot. The art of writing novel lies in show
lug how the plot developed character"
THE art of writing a novel," said Amalie
with dignity, sc ensists in showing how the un-
folding of soul caused events to transpire."
"Do you know what you would do with your
Ideas?' cried Edward. "You would take away
inspiration. You would substitute photography
for art" -...
81 would paint nature" replied Amalie.
"Realism W as created by God. do not know
who made romanticism. Isuppose it was Wal
ter Scott" .--s .G--,
They argued this question for 20 years. Then
Amalie died, and Edward spent his life in re-
GREETING her. Neither of them ever wrote a
line.

CONCERNING the decisions of the Inter-

CONCERNING the decisions of the Inter-
State Commerce Commission against the ma
nipulation of rates in favor of the Standard OIL
Company, the Philadelphia Press says: "Both
decisions the plainest justice and the clearest
common law, and yet the wealth of the Stand
ard Oil Company has been chiefly accumulated
by the systematic violation of these principles
by the railroads" This is salutary and plain
truth; but the Press emits to ada the pertinent
fact that in the State Legislature of Pennsyl-
vania the measures which were taken to en-
trench the Standard in its monopoly, secured
their success under the fostering care Of the
Standards representative, the Republican can
didate for Governor of Pennsylvania.

ABARGAIN FOR THE CITY.

The city of Pittsburg certainly cannot
grumble at the price which Mrs. Schenley
asks for the park entrance in Oakland.
Nineteen acres-enough for the entrance
and a site for the Carnegie buildings
as well-for seventy-fve thousand dollars is
about as cheap as anyone could expect.
There seems to be no reason why this gener-
Gus offer should not be accepted, and City
Councils has practically decided to do so.
