L.EUvENMARK's POSITION IN HIS FLIGHT
was as quiet as a graveyard, every spec
tator watching his downward night
with bated breath. On nearing the
water he Strengthened himself out, and
as he disappeared beneath the surface
his hands were close together, arms ex-
tended over the head, the body perpen-
dicular, the limbs slightly bent at the
knees. The water separated with
swish as he went down like McGinty,
and a second later his head appeared
above the water few feet distant, and
the crowd then broke loose with a loud
huzza, as it was evident that the feat
had been accomplished without the least
injury.
The distance from the platform to the
surface of the water was eighty feet
and three and a-quarter inches, meas
ured by surface line, and the plunge
consequently beats the record now held
by G. A. Blake by four feet and eight
and three-quarter inches.
G. A. Blake's performance, which
stands as the worlds record, was made
at the Lambeth baths, London, Eng
land, October S, 1883, and was plunge
of seventy-fve feet seven inches. The
next best record was made by j. Strick-
land at Melbourne, Australia, March Is,
1880, his plunge being from height OF
seventy-three feet and one inch.
The plunge differs widely from the
work of Steve Brodie and the bridge
jumpers. The bridge jumper is pro-
tected by clothing and has strong boots
on, heavily loaded to keep him in a per-
pendlcular position, while the diver
with no protection leaps out into space,
makes a graceful sweep, and plunges
head foremost into the water as the
ordinary swimmer does from the spring
board in the natatorium.
The champion, by request, made
another leap from the 50-foot platform
OF the tower, and will make two plunges
this afternoon. On Sunday morning he
will make a 5O-foot plunge, and Sunday
afternoon will repeat the record-break-
ing dive.
The feat requires both skill and
bravery, and Leuvenmark's managers
are so confident of his ability to plunge
from high altitudo9fhat they will match
him against any diver in the world for
any reasonable amount.

JEALOUSY OF A ToMoAr.
He Kills Five Kittens So That the Mother
May Have Time For His Society.
Nstg York Sun.

About a fortnight ago the black and
white cat Of Mrs. jeremiah Tobin, in
FOrdham, presented the household with
five kittens, and as there were just
enough to 90 round among the children,
each claimed one, aud Mrs. Tobin's
arguments in the survival Of the fttest
was 0verruled.
This was rather hard on the old cat,
but fortified by an extra supply OF milk
and much petting she did not shrink
her maternal duties, and the kittens
grew strong in the kitchen. Not one OF
the brood was the least like its mother
in color. They all had dirty yellow
coats, and the fact that big hideous
tomcat Of the same ugly hue loitered
about the house day after day,and MUIR
dered sleep at night with his frighttul
yowlinG seemed TO establish their pater-
nifty.
The other morning Mrs. Tobin, her
FIVE children, and the servant girl were
in the kitchen. So were the kittens.
The mother cat had gone down the
cellar to stretch her limbs and recruit
her strength on a bowl of milk. Sud
denly the members of the family were
frightened almost out of their wits by
the crashing Of glass. A big yellow cat
came flying through the shattered win
dow, and landed, with flashing eyes and
a tail like a hawser, on the floor,
For moment he glared threateningly
at the terrified occupants of the
kitchen, and then, springing upon the
kittens that were huddled together in
group, be cracked the neck of each
with a single savage bite, and laid the
five little creatures dead on the oil
cloth. The slaughter was over, and the
murderer bounded out OF the broken
window before any one could interfere.
Whether the mother will condOAe the
ofTense is an unsettled question. The
children never will.

The dangerous and foolhardy feat was
witnessed by large crowd of specta-
tors attracted there by morbid curl
osity to see a reckless man risk life by
plunging from tower the platform Of
which Is at an altitude of eighty feet
above the surface of the water in the
lake.
The attempt at record-breaking was
complete success, however, and unat-
tended by any accident, and Leuven-
mark was as happy as boy with new
toy after the performance.
Leuvenmark was a little pale and
nervous before here assembled the tower,
and by the time he had reached the top
platform was somewhat tired from the
climb up the rather primitive ladder.
After the rest he cautiously crawled
along on all fours and peered into the
water below. After measuring the dis
lance and indicating TO his manager in
the boat below the place where he would
strike the water, be retreated back to
the rear of the sixteen-foot platform.
After another brief rest he Strengthened
up on the platform and steadied himself
by the hand rails. Two or three leaps
and he was at the edge Of the plat
form, and then he sailed through the
air with graceful sweep. Everything

Stuart Robson,s Views.
Dramatic Nssrs.

UrdHadttc NeUS.
Mr.. Stuart Robson, whose name mas
6oured prominently in connection VITA
the Booth matter, arrived in New YORK
from Cohassett on Monday morning.
He was seen by Dramatic Nel0s Writer
at the Imperial Hotel, and expresseu
himself In vigorous terms concerning
the manner In which he had been drawn
into the controversy. Said he: ~ clear
ly and distinctly deny that ever sal
Steele Mackaye had offered TO write d
life of Edwin Booth, or had approacned
him in any other way in connection
with this or any other matter.
If I can find out who has attributed
such a statement to me, will make an
endeavor to put him In the penitentlary,
and I won't stop until he is locked Up
or nv resources are exhausted. a
Herald reporter came TO my place ~
Cohassett. and In course Of time secured
nv confidence. He spoke to me about
the Booth matter and referred MIN 10
Mr.. jefferson as being an older ana per-
haps a closer friend than l to Mr.. Booth.
But have expressed no opinion on this
ouestion-none whatever. l will say
that Mr.. Booth knows nothing what
ever of the present newspaper PULL
cations concerning him and his
family. Mr.. Jefferson and a num-
Der of his other friends held a
discussion on the situation, and con-
cluded that it would be wise to keep him
in ignorance OF the affair. AS he meyer
reads the newspapers before they nave
passed through other hands, and as he
leads life that is very secluded, cfm-
ing into personal contact with only a
very few intimates, 1t will not be dill
cult to conceal the story from him. The
tale itself has good many sensational
features, and these should be nude
known. 1t has been printed that the al
legged attempt to blackmail Mr.. Booth
has affected his health, mental and
physical. Such is not the case. was
with Mr.. Booth yesterday. His nind
was never clearer, his eye never bright
er. his cheek never tinged with a Iud-
der glow. He is perfectly happy, per-
fectly strong, and l should not be a all
surprised If he were to go to acting ate
in the coming season. He is quite well
enough, and 1t Is purely question OF
preference with him. A good manypeo-
Die think he is lame and broken dtwn.
He has always had some muscular a1ec-
ton OF the back that causes him to Itart
off with a kind of limp, but as soon IS ne
gets to moving he is all right. We waked
for about three miles together day or
two ago, and he was not at all fatigued.
7 see that MI. Louis Megargee gives as
a possible resson for my having spoken
of Mackaye IN this connection, an al
legged difference between Mackaye and
myself in connection with a mater OF
money. l could not under any cirum-
stances go tito newspaper CONTROVERSY
witty Mackaye, but 1 don't think ne
will say I owe him any money. II
there have been any differences be-
tween US they will not under any con-
ditions be discussed by me. have
nothing whatever to say about him,
and l have not at any time referred to
him in connection with Mr. Booth.

Three New Papers to start-The Ne" Ho-
tel to be Leading Summer Resort
special 7sIsOrem to the Register.
TERRA Alta, w. VA, July 31.-John
M. Stanley, of Piedmont, will begin the
publication of three papers al this
place, some time next month, viz: the
Secret Society Gossip, monthly paper
devoted to the interests Of the order Of
Knights of the Mystic Chain; the knight,
a monthly journal devoted to the In
terests of the knights OF Pythias,
and the Item, local weekly
paper. Mr.. Stanley is an old
newspaper man and comes highly recon-
mended, and we have no doubt that he
will make a success Of the enterprise.
1t is reported that the Terra Alta
Hotel Company will probably secure Mr..
J. P. A. Entler, formerly proprietor OF
the Sims House, Piedmont, w. Va, as
manager of their hotel at this place. We
hope the report may prove true, as Mr..
Entler is undoubtedly one Of the best
hotel men in the State. This company
have arranged to make extensive i'm
provements on their hotel property,
and IN addition to this II
they are so fortunate as TO
secure the services Of as popular land
lord as we know Mr.. Entler 10 be, we
see no reason why Terra Alta should not
again become the leading summer re-
sort in West Virginia.
1t is reported that ex-senator VIM. NJ.
o. Dawson, late proprietor Of the King
wood Journal, will move to Charleston
and become the editor of daily news
paper at that place, Some Of Mr.. Daw-
sons friends claim that he will be the
next nominee Of the Republican party
for Governor of West Virginia.

prize Of IS for the best ode to the
watermelon sent in by September / of
the present year. He had a two-fold
object in this. One fold was to encour-
Sge the eOlored people TO do less sitting
on the fence and write more poetry, and
the other was to perpetuate the glory
OF the luscious fruit. While he had
been regularly elected poet of the Club,
there was nothing mean about him. He
wanted 10 see other poets come to the
front--the more the better. Although
very busy in his garden just 0now, he
would consent to receive all odes sent
in for the prize, and make. such repairs
as was necessary before submitting
them to committee to be appointed by
thPe resident.
Sir Isaac Walpole, Glveadam Jones,
Elder Toots, Wayback Johnson and
others spoke very strongly in favor OF
the resolution, and It was unanimously
carried. The contest will be confined
to the colored race, and no ode must be
over six feet long.
