FOOLED FOR ONCE.

A Rat Routs Two Ferrets Which Have
Had Things Their Own Way.
The statesmen of a prominent clothing
store own two white English ferrets. and
they have great sport chasing and killing
rats with them, says the Toledo Bee. Very
often several rodents are caught in Trap
and let loose in large dry-goods box. One
of the ferrets is then placed in the box, and
in less time than it can be told the rats are
laid out cold.
On last Monday a monster rat was shared
in the trap, and, as usual, placed in the box
to be slaughtered by the ferret. 1t was a
savage looking specimen of the vermin and
exhibited no fear, but backed into one cor
ner and looked sullenly about The young
ferret was dropped in first, the boys suppos-
ing, Of course, the rat would be DISPATCHED
without ceremony. But in this they were
badly fooled, as the ferret on catching sight
of the rat sneaked into the farthest corner
and hudded down shiverug with fear.
The rat, after taking brief survey,
glided swiftly over to the ferrets corner,
and, swapping sayagelY at the ferret re-
tired to its corner. The ferret squealed in
terror and made repeated efforts to jump
out of the box. The rat grew holder and
continued its attacks, which resulted In ut
terly routing the ferret and starting it on q
lively chase around the box. Realizing that
the young ferret was mot in it." the boys
dropped the old fellow in, and imagine their
amusement when he, too, sneaked off in
corner scared of his life. The rat, on sizing
up the reinforcement, hustled up and went
for both animals, tooth and nail, and there
is no telling what the result would have
been if the boys had not taken the reputed
rat-killers out and placed a rat-and-tan ter
ritr in the box, which soon did the work.

PROVED TO BE KITES.

Baltimore Customs Officers Experiment
With Some Japanese Importations.
rather amusing case is pending before
the local examiners and Appraiser of mer-
chandise at this port. and, although it has a
serious aspect, because an important prin-
ciple and considerable sum of money for
duties are involved, it was tested yesterday
by order of Collector Marine in a novel and
practical way.
A certain importing house has received
from Hiogo, Japan, consignment of paper
kites, which were entered as manufactures
of paper, paying % per cent ad valorem.
They are just like the paper kites coming
from Oriental countries, and are familiar to
all boys. They are shaped like a parrot or
owl TWith outstretched wings and
tail. The frames are of split bam-
boo, bent for the wings, body,
head and tail, and are covered with rice
paper, printed in bright cUlOrs to represent
the plumage If the birds. The invoice re-
ceived from Japan described them as kites,
but the importer says they are for decora-
manufactures of paper, because paper is the
chief value in the article, and should pay
only % per cent ad yalorem The customs
officers agree that paper is the article of
chief value in the construction, but claim
that they are really kites, and as such are
toys; and being toys, made of paper, must
pay 50 per cent ad yalorem. The question
turns upon the utility of the kites, and If
they are suitable to be used as toys, to be
flown or played with by children, they be-
come kites and toys.
Collector Marine was determined that
this all-important question should be set
tied. But he did not send for one or more
of his own little chaps, nor those of Deputy
LingeDfelder, nor the chips of old Smms,
his coored messenger, but in a calm and de-
liberate mood he ordered the genial and
worthy Professor James ii. Butler and the
agile John Straughn to take the kites out in
the cold March air and fly them. The eX-
aminer Of drugs and the examiner of silk
stockings and toys were amazed. but
neither offered to resign. They sadly left
the office of the Collector to fly the
kites. They did not dare to fly them
on the street and become fun for the
small boys and colored draymen, but up
they went to the roof of the United States
Public Store No. l, at the corner of Gay and
Lombard streets. Professor Butler adj
justed the band about the waist of the
painted paper birds, and Examiner
Straughn, with the cord in his hand. ran up
and down on the copper roof of the build
ing amusing himself. as he did when boy
on the Eastern Shore, in Talbot County.
The strong wind raised the paper, and they
flew like kites, and the big officials played
with their toys made of paper.
AS this test may not suit the Board of
General Appraisers In New York, the small
boys and police may have amusement next
week when they look up at the roof of 5S4
Canal street and see Appraisers Tichenor,
Sharretts and Sharpe flying the Japanese
kites,-Baltim0re American.

SAN JOSE, March 24-The contest before

great success, owing TO the failure of Shan

preliminaries Manager Moffert entered the
ring and announced the illness of Shannon,

ist, had consented to become Arm strong's

not last four rounds, as Armstrong was in
the pink of condition. During the first three
rounds Webster was brutalv beaten, and
Chief of Police Stewart interfered but was
persuaded to leave the ring. Tie fight was
resumed and in the seventh round it was
